Chapter 319: Lovely Second Aunt
What are you standing there for? Go bring your wives and children back. Elder Master Zhuang let out a cold snort.
Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Wei shook their heads helplessly, then each returned to the courtyard.
Jiang Yun Chu looked at her stern maternal grandfather, then at her unresponsive second maternal grandfather; the Zhuang Clan's current reputation and family values are not without reason.
"Husband, should we not bring the children over?" Zhuang Yan's wife, a gentle and meticulous girl from an ordinary family, spoke softly; hearing they would suddenly meet, she felt uneasy, worried the children would be wronged.
"What are you thinking? She's not that kind of person; bring the children." Zhuang Yan decided directly.
The Grand Madam glanced at her husband, then could only have someone nearby call for them.
"What gift should I prepare?"
"Would this be too expensive, putting pressure on Yuner?"
"Would this be too light, making them think I, as an aunt, don't value him?"
"No, no, this also won't do."
Zhuang Wei's wife, looking at each tray, dissatisfied, went into the storeroom herself to pick a satisfactory gift.
Zhuang Wei quickly grabbed his wife, saying, "She's not staying just one day and leaving; we can prepare tomorrow. Right now, Father, Mother, and Second Uncle are waiting in the main hall; if we're late, we'll make everyone wait."
"Exactly, exactly, what my husband reminded me: let's go over first; tomorrow I'll pick the items, and you secretly send them to Yuner so no one knows, reducing his pressure."
Zhuang Wei's mouth twitched; he suddenly felt that, in his wife's heart, he wasn't the most good-looking person.
Exactly, his wife judges by looks…
For good-looking people, his wife has no resistance; she married him initially because of his face, giving him a big boost!
Two courtyards, different conversations.
"Really? Hahaha, that Kang Wen boy is quite mischievous." Madam Zhuang laughed, doubling over.
When Jiang Yun Chu has time, she tells amusing stories about the children; the elders miss the kids and naturally enjoy listening.
"Father, mother, second uncle."
Both families have come over; Zhuang Yan's household has two sons, Zhuang Wei's has one son; the Zhuang Clan's population is thin, with more males than females.
This generation has not a single daughter.
"Kang Yun has greeted both aunts." Jiang Yun Chu rose and gave a slight bow.
"Hurry up, don't stand on ceremony." Zhuang Wei's wife, Feng Xiangxiang, a young lady from a branch of the Feng clan, and also the maternal aunt of Feng Xi Xi.
And Zhuang Yan's wife bowed slightly in return.
Their personalities make the difference obvious at a glance.
Jiang Yun Chu rose, then smiled, saying, "Today I'm disturbing you because my workshop has something new—one for the aunts to try, another for them to give feedback."
"That's great; how do we do it?"
Feng Xiangxiang's eyes widened, full of excitement, especially when looking at that flawless face; everyone loves beauty—does she simply like pretty things? That's not excessive, is it?
Although Zhuang Wei knew Yun chu was a daughter, seeing his wife like that, why does his heart feel a bit sour?
By contrast, Zhuang Yan's wife, Wu Huailing, merely gave a light smile, without much expression.
"Grandmother, I'll do it for you."
"Tao Hong, Liu Lv, learn a bit; later you'll do it for the Grand Madam and Second Madame."
"I'll teach you."
Since she's dressed as a man, she naturally can't put her hands on the two aunts—what would that become?
"Yes!"
Tao Hong and Liu Lv quickly agreed, though they were a bit caught off guard, not expecting this procedure today!
"Grandmother, please lie down."
She first had the grandmother lie on the small couch, then used Lustrous Jade Soap to cleanse her face, opened the white porcelain box, took out a small green porcelain bottle, poured the pink Floral Dew onto her palm, and gently massaged the grandmother's face in circles.
"This is rose Floral Dew; it moisturizes and brightens the skin, letting it drink plenty of water and giving a brightening effect." Jiang Yun Chu said this while massaging.
Feng Xiangxiang's eyes widened, watching her mother-in-law's relaxed expression, extremely curious.
After the massage, she wiped off the remaining Floral Dew on the face with a clean cloth, then took out a mask and gently applied it to the grandmother's face.
"Actually the mask also contains Floral Dew, just with a few extra ingredients to let the skin absorb it quickly." She said this while smiling lightly.
Only now did Zhuang Wei realize how this works, and that those little holes are actually for the eyes, nose, and mouth.
No wonder I thought it was strange at first—how did Yun chu come up with this idea?
"It doesn't need to be long; fifteen minutes is enough. After fifteen minutes, it will reverse-absorb, which would be counterproductive." She laughed lightly, then removed the mask.
There are many acupoints on the face, and lifting and tightening require technique; that's also why she wants to recruit young girls for unified training.
"Tao Hong, Liu Lv, watch my technique—this is……"
She guided each acupoint in turn, doing it while letting the two watch closely and remember.
Tao Hong and Liu Lv watched attentively; they are top-tier maids beside the old madam, with first-rate wit and eyesight, otherwise they wouldn't have reached the position of senior first-class maid.
"Just now was acupressure massage; now we'll do facial lifting, which can raise the skin and delay aging." With each sentence Jiang Yun Chu spoke, Feng Xiangxiang looked as if she'd seen a treasure, her eyes almost shining.
That fervent gaze made Jiang Yun Chu unable to help but smile faintly.
This second aunt is quite interesting.
