Chapter 386 Who are you?

"I, I'll try my best." Shen Rou moved her body and felt that her shoulders were beginning to feel sore.

"How about you think of something happy to distract your attention?" Shen Nian had an idea.

 Happy things…

 Shen Rou feels that she is very happy every day now.

Thinking that her father was in good health, her sister was growing taller and more muscular, and life at home was getting better and better, she raised the corners of her mouth and her body suddenly relaxed.

 After putting on wedding clothes, the old man Shiquan invited by the Shen family arrived.

  What came in was a kind-hearted old woman with a smile on her eyes and brows.

 “Oh, there are so many good girls, each one looks like a flower, they are really beautiful.”

Seeing these beautiful girls from the Shen family, the old woman felt that the room was very bright and she was in a good mood.

 Several girls from the Shen family greeted the visitors politely.

 The old woman looked happy when she saw Shen Nian.

“This must be the Lord of Rongan County from Suizhou. It’s so lucky for the old woman to see you. I’m here to pay tribute to the County Lord…”

 As he said that, he had to salute.

 Willingly, without any reluctance.

Who doesn’t know that Longyang County was made rich by the county owner, who was the great benefactor of the entire county.

Once she heard that the Shen family needed Old Man Shiquan, she didn't even need anyone to ask for him. She directly recommended herself, defeated other people, and got the job smoothly.

The so-called perfect old man is...a person who has elders above him and descendants below him, and who has no faults in personal morality, academic conduct, etc.

The old woman's family tradition is rare in a hundred miles. She would not always accept the invitation to be a perfect old man.

 Seeing that the old man who could be her grandmother was about to kneel on her knees, Shen Nian hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm.

"No! You are an elder, how can you kneel to me!"

She was so strong that she grabbed the old woman's arm and made her unable to move.

 “Today is a good day for my cousin, I am not important, you can pretend I don’t exist!”

 Old woman: "..." The county owner is here, how can she open her eyes and be blind?

Seeing the refusal on the county lord's face, he no longer insisted on saluting.

 As expected of a county leader who came from among the common people, he is so down-to-earth.

 …

 After a few more pleasantries, the old woman began to dress Shen Rou.

 Apply powder, draw eyebrows, apply rouge, applique...

The rouge and gouache prepared by the Shen family are all very good, and the old man Shiquan is not particularly easy to use them.

 Not long after, a radiant and beautiful face appeared in front of her eyes.

 Everyone was stunned.

 No one spoke for a while.

Shen Rou clenched her hands nervously and asked, "Is it ugly?"

"No way!" Shen Jing came back to her senses and said loudly: "It's very beautiful, as beautiful as Sister Jiang."

The Jiang family's grandparents have been out for a long time. They went back to Zhongdu with Mrs. Ning and others half a month ago, so they didn't come.

Shen Rou suddenly blushed and said sheepishly, "How can I compare to Miss Jiang."

Miss Jiang is a lady from an official family and has been educated in both words and deeds. How can she be compared to a peasant girl?

"Why can't they compare?" Shen Jing's delicate little face was full of seriousness, "Miss Jiang is as good-looking as Miss Jiang, and my sister is as good-looking as my sister. They are all good-looking."

Shen Nian’s eyes showed pure appreciation, and his voice sounded softly.

“Sister Jing is right! The bride is the most beautiful today and I will not accept any refutation.”

She is not lying. The men in the Shen family are all good-looking. When they were young, their daughters-in-law were pretty and well-known girls in villages all over the country. The children they gave birth to were pretty good-looking.

 Speaking of which, aside from Shen Nian, the most beautiful girl in the Shen family is Shen Meiying.

She already had a pair of autumn-like black eyes. After the scar on her face was healed, her skin became fair and shiny, and she had a delicate and timid temperament that no one could bear to hurt. However, Shen Rou dressed up a little today and instantly surpassed Shen Meiying.

Hearing what Shen Nian said, her loyal supporter Shen Meiying nodded, "I don't refute, I agree."

Sister Jing laughed out loud, "Sister Meiying, I think no matter what Sister Nian'er says, you agree."

She has never seen Sister Meiying miss Sister Er very much.

Shen Meiying held Shen Nian's arm tightly, her eyes full of seriousness, "Everything Sister Nian said is right."

Shen Nianrang was a little helpless, "Sister Meiying, it's easy for you to be deceived like this."

“…Sister Nian will not lie to me.” Shen Meiying said without thinking.

She only believes in sister, how could she be deceived.

"Of course I won't lie." Thinking of what Xiao Jinzhi said, straightforwardness was the brightest thing about her, and Shen Nian was quite proud.

 Yes, she is a sincere and reliable person.

 Sister Meiying is very discerning.

 At this moment, the girl putting on makeup came.

 The first ones to come were the girls from Zhuxi Village.

 “Sister Rou, let’s add some make-up for you!” The speaker was Shen Xinghua who had returned from her husband’s house.

Shen Rou smiled shyly, but her eyes did not escape. She looked at the girls coming in and said, "Thank you everyone."

"Thank you. You also gave me a gift when I got married. Courtesy reciprocates." Shen Xinghua blinked at her, looking smart and playful, exactly the same as before we got married.

 Speaking of Shen Rou adding makeup to hers, she smiled broadly, "By the way, I really like the screen you gave me."

 It is very happy when the things you give are valued by others. Shen Rou is naturally happy, "As long as you like it."

Shen Xinghua put down the box she brought and reached out to open it, revealing a set of silver jewelry inside.

“Sister Rou, I am not as skillful as you, so I made you a set of jewelry at the jewelry shop. I hope you like it.”

 Everyone looked at it.

 The bracelets, earrings, and hairpins in the jewelry box are full of weight, and the patterns on them are fresh and beautiful, making the girl happy when she sees them.

Such a set of jewelry is not cheap, Xinghua is really willing to give it up.

I can only say that she is worthy of being the daughter of the village chief, and she is very generous.

“It cost you money.” Shen Rou smiled gratefully.

  “Should.”

 Next, the other girls added makeup one by one.

Those who have a lot of money can give a slightly better gift. Those who don't have a lot of money can give Shen Rou a handkerchief. It's all that matters.

 I finished adding makeup one after another, and there was a little hiccup near the end.

“…We have all finished putting on makeup. I don’t know what the county owner has put on for your cousin. Please open our eyes.” The speaker was a slightly chubby girl with fair skin and regular features.

Her eyes glanced at the piles of things around her, and a complicated look flashed across her face, including greed and pity, making it difficult for people to understand.

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent.

Shen Nian glanced over, his tone as calm as his eyes, "Who are you?"

 Liu Doukou's expression froze, and he felt a little unhappy.

Thinking that the person who had offended her was the emperor's own county boss, she didn't dare to show it at all, so she smiled and said, "...I am Liu Doukou from the next village."

"You want to see me add makeup to Sister Rou'er's face?" Shen Nian raised his eyebrows and asked with no emotion in his eyes.

Liu Doukou smiled stiffly and said bitterly: "I have never seen the world, I just want to see the difference between the county master's makeup and ours. If the county master is unhappy, I... I'm sorry."

 He apologized, but in reality he was so angry that his teeth itched.

 When she marries Shen San and becomes the elder of this peasant girl, how dare she still yell at her!

  Touching the small paper bag on his sleeve, a dark light flashed across Liu Doukou's eyes.
