215 Cousin Also Knows How to Make Brow Powder

Old Madam Yu smiled and said, “You’re the birthday girl today, so it doesn’t matter how you dress. Just wear it!”

After all, a young lady couldn’t dress too luxuriously when she went outside.

Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red again.

Old Madam Yu waved her hand and started to chase her away. “Hurry up and go back and prepare. We’re going to start welcoming guests at 10am. You’re the host today, so you have to greet them yourself. We old things won’t get involved.”

Only then did Yu Youyao carry the box and return to the Jade Courtyard with the longevity lock her mother had given her.

At this moment, the entire Jade Courtyard was busy. Nanny Xu had entered the small kitchen at dawn and had yet to come out. Nanny Liu had also brought some capable people from An Shou Hall to decorate the place.

Yu Youyao called Liu’er over and lowered her head to instruct, “Don’t have the intention to harm others, but don’t let your guard down. Go!”

Liu’er nodded and left the room.

At this moment, Chun Xiao brought over some medicinal cuisine. “Young Miss, quickly have some medicinal cuisine. Nanny Xu said that since the guests aren’t here yet, you can’t eat too much. Have a bowl of medicinal cuisine to fill your stomach.”

Yu Youyao knew that when the sisters gathered, they would eat, drink, and play. There were dozens of types of snacks that Nanny Xu had prepared. There were also all kinds of fruits, soup, and fruit tea. The guests could eat and enjoy themselves.

After finis.h.i.+ng the medicinal cuisine, Yu Youyao was pushed into the bathroom again. “Nanny Xu prepared a medicinal bath for you. Miss, soak in it and rest. It’s just a small banquet, but it’s very tiring.”

After taking a bath, Yu Youyao was pulled into the room by Dong Mei. “Nanny Xu has picked out some clothes for Miss. It’s Miss’s birthday today, so you have to dress up well. You have to look presentable.”

Young Miss was still young, so she couldn’t apply makeup. She only used the flower dew to rub into her face. After that, she applied a moisturizing cream. The flower dew nourished her face, making her skin look fresh and tender. The cream moistened her face and added a little more l.u.s.ter.

Dong Mei picked up the brow powder again, wanting to draw Miss’s eyebrows.

Yu Youyao shook her head. “I don’t need this.”

Dong Mei smiled. “You should use it. Young Master asked Chang An to send it over early this morning. Young Master also personally mixed it. I saw that the color isn’t too ordinary. It’s even more beautiful than the one Young Master sent over this time.”

Yu Youyao’s eyes lit up when she heard that it was sent by her cousin and that it was personally prepared for her. “Since Cousin made the brow powder, I definitely have to use it.”

Dong Mei picked up her eyebrow pencil and dipped it into brow powder, carefully moving it along to the young lady’s eyebrows.

The shape of the young lady’s eyebrows was good. They were dense and exquisite, making her look beautiful. She looked like a crescent moon, bright and radiant.

As soon as she traced her brows, Dong Mei could tell that they were extraordinary.

There was a hint of smoky green in this color and it made the girl’s eyebrows look like a mountain valley. In the mist, there was a gleam of mountain light.

In Dong Mei’s mind, she suddenly thought of a poem: “The water is bright and clear, and the mountains are empty and rainy.”

Wasn’t this young lady’s eyebrows the same color as when the mountains that were were covered in mist after the rain?

Yu Youyao stared at the gla.s.s mirror carefully. Her eyebrows curved slightly, and she said coquettishly, “Cousin, you’re really amazing.”

“Isn’t that so? I don’t even know what Young Master doesn’t know.” Dong Mei pursed her lips and smiled. She helped Yu Youyao comb her hair with a single conch and put on the small crown of beads that Old Madam had given her. She fixed it with a headband.

The ta.s.sels on all four sides hung down, and the pearls at the front fell on young miss’s smooth forehead. They flowed lightly and were extremely bright, making the young lady look radiant. The pearls on both sides fell to the young lady’s ears and swayed.

After that, Dong Mei helped Yu Youyao dress up.

At the innermost part of the outfit was a small top that matched the sleeves. Below it was an eight pleated skirt with yellow-green parasol flowers embroidered on them. On the outside, there was a yellow-green top and light golden gauze sleeves. On the gauze sleeves, there were embroidered branches and green leaves.

She was dressed in yellow and green, looking delicate and beautiful. She also looked elegant and n.o.ble. When Dong Mei put the little crown on the girl’s head, she looked even more delicate.

After this, Yu Youyao was already having a headache even before the banquet. “It’s only my tenth birthday. There’s no need to be so formal. People who don’t know better will think that I’m an adult.”

Dong Mei pursed her lips and smiled. “But Old Madam ordered it.”

At the mention of her grandmother, Yu Youyao pouted and became obedient.

When Yu Youyao was ready, Madam Yao brought Yu Shuangbai, Yu Lianyu, and Yu Fangfei into the house. When they saw Yu Youyao dressed up, their eyes lit up. “Yao Yao is really beautiful.”

Yu Youyao was a little shy. “They’ve been working so hard for so many hours. I have to look good or they would have worked so hard for nothing.”

Hearing her words, everyone in the room laughed.

Madam Yao said with a smile, “I went to look for Nanny Xu first to help manage it. It’s your big day today, so I can’t be careless.”

With that, Madam Yao left in a hurry. She sincerely came over to handle things.

Yu Shuangbai and the others immediately went up to Yu Youyao and spoke to her.

After a while, Yang Shuwan finally arrived with Yu Jianjia. At a glance, she saw the small crown of pearls on Yu Youyao’s head. It was a light golden color and looked very dazzling.

Yu Jianjia lowered her head and bit her lip. She suddenly felt that she couldn’t bring out the pearl headgear that she had carefully selected with her mother yesterday.

It was impossible for her to surpa.s.s Yu Youyao in terms of dressing at the Flower Festival of the the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence.

Immediately, she even lost interest in the Flower Festival.

She forced herself to perk up and smiled. “Big Sister is really radiant today.”

Yu Youyao nodded and said calmly, “Thank you for your praise, Second Sister.”

As she spoke, she sized up Yu Jianjia.

The snow-green dress looked very elegant, but there were layers of pink and white embroidery on it. It was like a blooming peach tree, but it was dazzling. The pink color of her lips vividly displayed how delicate her beauty was.

She was extremely elegant.

Yang Shuwan came back to her senses and said with a faint smile, “You guys chat with each other. I’ll go to the small kitchen to take a look.”

At 10 o’clock.

Yu Youyao walked with Nanny Xu to welcome the guests.

The ladies were not old. Even if they went to other houses as guests, they would bring along their nannies. Nanny Xu would lead them to the side to entertain them.

The first to arrive was Song Wanhui, the Third Miss of the Marquis Residence.

Song Wanhui hadn’t seen Yu Youyao for a long time. When she first saw her, she was stunned for a moment and almost didn’t recognize her. In her memory, Yu Youyao was round and likable. Every time her grandmother mentioned Eldest Miss Yu, she would smile and say, “Yao Yao is a lucky child.”
