Section 873: Makeup
"It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, Sister Lan, you are simply amazing to us. Concubine Qiang exclaimed.
"Yes, is it so exaggerated?" Nangong Yulan smiled, although she said so, she couldn't help but look at the mirror and watch it carefully.
"My sister is already beautiful without makeup, and when she puts on makeup so slightly, she is even more beautiful than flowers. Ru Concubine also praised on the side.
Nangong Yulan smiled slightly: "This is to say that my sister Yuhuan can dress up, thank you sister." ”
"Sister, why do you say thank you again, sister, I'm not happy!" Nangong Yuhuan pouted.
"Okay, okay, my sister doesn't say it. Nangong Yulan twisted her head from side to side again, looked in the mirror for a while and said, "Is it okay to wear jewelry?"
Nangong Yuhuan smiled and said, "Sister's nails seem to have been painted today, but she hasn't done any other maintenance on her hands, right?"
"Other maintenance?" At this time, not only Nangong Yulan, but also Concubine Qiang and Concubine Ru asked.
"We cultivators, it is inevitable that we will practice magic weapons and spells, even if we don't practice these, I think you will also dabble in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that your hands will inevitably be a little rough, so if you want to make your hands become ten fingers slender jade shoots red, this hand maintenance is essential. Nangong Yuhuan explained.
"How do you take care of it?" the three asked almost simultaneously.
"Actually, it's as simple as applying a silk scarf to your face. Nangong Yuhuan said with a smile.
"In this case, then you should hurry up and prepare and put it on a few girls. Nangong Yulan immediately commanded.
The waiter agreed and retreated. Nangong Yuhuan said: "Basically, that's it, after we select the clothes, we will add the jewelry, and it's almost the same, this time is just the right time to do a maintenance for the hands." ”
"It's all up to my sister. Nangong Yulan grinned.
Nangong Yuhuan instructed the palace maids to bring their clothes, and after a while, the palace maids held beaded shirts, silk curtains, embroidered skirts, phoenix shoes, rhino hairpins, cold hairpins, jade pendants, mandarin duck belts, Ming Jue, Cuiqiao, golden phoenix, and brocade crotch, and stood aside. For a while, the five colors were mixed, which made people dazzled.
"A few sisters, what color do you think I should choose the most suitable clothes to wear?" asked Nangong Yulan.
"My sister is beautiful, she looks good in any clothes, and there is no difference. Concubine Qiang sneered.
"You can speak, but you don't have a word. What does Sister Ru Concubine's sister think?" Nangong Yulan knew that Concubine Qiang couldn't ask anything, so she asked Concubine Ru instead.
"My sister knows my character, and if she wants me to choose, I still think it's better to be plain, and you must know that clothes are attached to the body, not to the body, and you can't take the lead. Ru Concubine wanted to say her opinion slightly.
"Sister Yuhuan, what do you think?" After listening to what Concubine Ru said, Nangong Yulan nodded and asked Yuhuan instead.
"Sister Qiang and Sister Ru, what the two sisters said makes sense, Sister Yulan, your body is slender and decent, not fat or thin, and your skin is like ice and snow, but you look good in any color. I have heard that a woman's garment is not noble but pure, not beautiful but elegant, not expensive and worthy of home, but noble and worthy of appearance. The clothes embroidered by Qiluo Wen are covered with dirt and dust, but they are not as delicious as the cloth clothes, which is noble and clean. The red, purple and dark colors, if the matching is contrary to fashion, it is not as good as the light color, the so-called elegant is not expensive. The wife of a noble person should be clothed in literary style, a frugal house, and a vegetarian dress, which is commensurate with people. So I suggest that my sister's outer clothes can be silver-red and pink-colored, so that although it looks simple and elegant, it does not lose its color, and the underwear also needs to be embroidered with brocade clothes. Poetry: "Clothes are still beautiful" is more wonderful. Nangong Yuhuan said.
"Sister Yuhuan, where did you learn all these things?" asked Concubine Qiang curiously.
Nangong Yuhuan smiled shyly and said: "You know that I am the clan sister of Sister Yulan, but in fact, I am not from the Nangong family of Zuzhou, but a branch of the Nangong family of Shenzhou, and this place in Shenzhou, the aura is thin and chaotic, and there are not many people who can cultivate the truth, most of them are mortals. Aesthetic methods, I was born in that kind of place, and I learned some of them by hearing and seeing, but it is said that I have polluted my sister's cultivation with mundane things. ”
When Concubine Qiang heard this, she suddenly realized: "It turns out that these beauty and dressing truths of my sister are all from Shenzhou, so it's no wonder." I heard that the people over there can't cultivate, and they don't have any spiritual materials to take, and their faces are very easy to age, and the beauties there are only ten years of color from thirteen or fourteen years old to twenty-three or four years old. For example, at the beginning of the flower, the fragrant fei is charming, all at this time, and after this, it is like the blooming of flowers, not not splendid, and withering and falling. Of course, there are also people in the world who like half-old beauties, with their knowledge and interest, and they feel more cute, but the incense is red and faded, and finally after the color of the flower fades, there is only one pitiful state, which is enough to make people sigh. Therefore, the people of Shenzhou use makeup to force the youthful color, and it is helpless to let Fang Fei stay on the branches for a few more days. ”
Nangong Yuhuan sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't, so it's the right thing for my generation to concentrate on cultivation, these humble means of serving people in Israel are just minutiae, if it weren't for the emperor coming to find my sister today, I really don't want my sister to spend so much time on grooming and dressing up, and I hope that my sister will practice diligently." ”
Ru Concubine sighed lightly and said: "My sister is very true, but we are all just women in the palace, what can we do if we don't serve people?"
As soon as the concubine said this, the atmosphere in the room became cold for a while, but soon the concubine smiled and said: "Okay, okay, don't make the atmosphere so happy, these Shenzhou methods that Sister Yuhuan knows may not be useful in other places in Zuzhou, but wouldn't it come in handy for us? ”
Ru Concubine was also interested when she heard this, and applauded: "Okay, okay, I've never heard an anecdote about Shenzhou." ”
Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly: "Actually, the aesthetics of Shenzhou and Zuzhou are basically the same, but our Zuzhou here not only depends on the woman's appearance, but also on the woman's personal cultivation, and Shenzhou is similar to this to look at the woman's talent." ”
"Oh, sister, you might as well tell us more about it, and let us gain knowledge. Concubine Qiang said interestingly.
