The Schoolgirl Secret Agent

Chapter 1047: Are You Really Skimping On This Spending?

Yang Xiaochun left with a huff after saying what she did. As she stepped out of Zhang Meihua’s house, she muttered to herself that she was going to eat more than its worth when she would attend the wedding at the four-star hotel tomorrow. She would even ask her husband and child to go with her! She had only given a 20-yuan wedding gift money, so it would be more than worth it for three of them to have a meal in the four-star hotel.

After Yang Xiaochun left, there were a few more women standing around. These women were envious of Qin Yirou getting married to a capable man despite it being her second marriage but they kept the envy internal. What they showed on their faces and through their mouth were still expressions that wished well.

“Yirou, we don’t like Yang Xiaochun anyway, no need to get down to her level!” one of those women told Qin Yirou.

She then turned to look at Yun Jian with a pandering gaze. “Yirou’s daughter, you don’t get yourself worked up over that kind of person too. It wouldn’t be worthwhile to harm your health for that kind of person!”

The reality was, the atmosphere in the house took a much better turn after Yang Xiaochun left.

“Oh, Yirou, is this your son-in-law? He’s so handsome! I’ve never seen a gorgeous young man like him through my years of living!”

As they chatted, the women’s topic of conversation went to Yun Jian and Si Yi.

The pandering woman just now told Qin Yirou obsequiously as she looked at Si Yi. For what it was worth, her compliment about Si Yi being handsome was genuine.

Qin Yirou was delighted by the woman’s praise as well. Si Yi had already made his intention to her daughter clear, so Qin Yirou thought to hum her agreement only for Si Yi to tell the woman first, “Xiao Jian’s mine.”

He was extremely swift with his answer, as if worried that others did not know that Yun Jian was his.

The middle-aged and older women around them giggled and teased them when they heard him.

…

The night passed by in a flash, welcoming the next day’s arrival.

Yun Jian had woken up around five in the morning when the sky was only showing the break of dawn.

The sun rose with a smile in the morning of May 21st, 1999. The constant drizzle and the breezy wind last night had given way to a clear sky when it came to the morning of 21st. There were even white cottony clouds at the edge of the morning sky, a hint that it was going to be a sunny day today.

“Let’s hurry and prepare breakfast. Once we have breakfast, we ought to continue the preparation for lunch and welcome the groom’s entourage!”

Neighbors came over to help out and were already bustling about.

They would have dinner at the four-star hotel while lunch would be a simple one-pot rice.

There were plenty of traditions and customs in a village wedding, like what time would the dowry be sent to the groom’s house or what time the bride should be sent there. There were rituals to follow.

Qin Yirou was currently in her room with Yun Jian standing in front. The woman was seated in front of a simple dressing table while there were several women standing beside her—one of them was Yang Xiaochun from yesterday.

Civet was currently crouching on the floor going over her stacks of makeup kit, yet to begin her work on Qin Yirou. The makeup kit was actually used to put on disguising makeup for others.

Civet had a baby face, so she looked young—around 15 years old despite already being 25 years old.

Seeing how Civet was squatted on the floor going through her makeup kit, Yang Xiaochun spoke up again. “How old is this girl? Does she actually know how to apply makeup?”

As she watched Civet retrieve various items from her makeup kit in familiar ease and remembered that she knew nothing, she commented again jealously, “Yirou, are you really letting this young girl do your makeup? Say, you’re already holding your wedding in a four-star hotel, why are you skimping on the money for an actual makeup artist?”
