Chapter 57: Deliberately Dressed Up

Qing Xuan woke up for the first time in the big bed in Helan's prayer room, felt comfortable all over, and pulled the embroidered quilt sewn by Lu He himself, only then did he notice that the pattern was not ordinary mandarin duck or dragon and phoenix embroidery. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

She herself is also good at embroidery, but because of her miscellaneous, she does not study the patterns so deeply, and she only feels that the patterns look comfortable, and when she covers her body, she can smell the faint fragrance, which makes people sleep more peacefully and comfortably. She was a little curious about where this little maid learned these skills, and Helan Qiyou was willing to give this maid to her.

"Young lady is awake?" Lu He quickly came in with a washing plate in his hand, and put the plate on the shelf on the side of the bronze mirror table.

"Where's Zixuan?" she glanced at her, but didn't notice her.

Green Lotus's eyes immediately became a little unnatural, as if he didn't know whether he should answer. Qing Xuan quickly realized that this girl was too smart to offend anyone.

"It's okay, just say it. ”

She paused before she spoke. "Young Master Gongsun is here, Sister Zixuan is talking to him outside, and she should be back soon. Does the young lady need the slave to find her back?"

She took a deep breath and was no longer angry with her circumstances, and if they didn't cooperate with her, she wanted everything to go her way. She is a dragon lady and cannot run away without a fight.

She instinctively leaned towards the familiar, Zixuan and Wenren, but she knew that she also needed the green lotus to help her understand the unfamiliar.

"That's okay, don't call her. She wasn't so careful and didn't allow Zixuan to talk to her grandson.

"And in front of me, you don't have to say slaves, I'll call you Green Lotus. ”

"Madam, that won't work, slave... You can't go wrong. ”

Qing Xuan had to wave her hand when she heard this, not wanting to argue about this matter, after all, this might make her even more uncomfortable.

When I got out of bed and put on my soft shoes to freshen up, I heard a faint thud not far away.

"What's that sound?"

"Back to the young lady, that is the sound of the hot spring in the west corner of the construction, this garden pavilion earlier found that there is a natural geothermal spring in the west corner, the young master knew that the lady likes to bathe, so he ordered the hot spring water from the spring, let the masters rush to make a hot spring bath, the project will take about ten days, after the completion of the young lady can bathe at any time, no need to wait for boiling water. ”

Listening to the news that Lu He said, she was a little happy, although a man with money and power like Helan Qiyou could buy anything to please her, but it was not easy to care about what she liked and give her what she liked.

Just thinking about it, he may have also put his mind on others, Baba to please other women. Now she is a newcomer, and in the future, when the newcomer becomes the old, he may use the same set of thoughts and efforts on others, can she stand it at that time?

What if you put your heart down and be torn apart? No! You can't think of him!

She walked to the bronze mirror platform, first washed her face with a cloth towel and warm water, and then the green lotus applied her face with freshly collected dew, and served her with meticulous care.

Then Qing Xuan found that there were many different delicate compacts on the dresser, all the rouge and gouache, and some things that she didn't know at all. She waited for Qingxuan to sit down again, picked up a golden comb, and said with some hesitation.

"Madam, can the slave comb your hair?" Yesterday she was obviously a little surprised to see Qing Lan use her little spiritual power, remembering that Helan Qiyou had repeatedly told her to serve Qing Lan carefully, so she was more careful than yesterday.

Qing Xuan originally wanted to refuse, she didn't have a personal maid to serve in the Sea Dragon Valley, and every dragon girl has learned to dress up for herself since she was a child, but obviously in the outside world is different.

"Okay, do you want to put your hair in a bun?" she asked.

In the past, she was an unmarried woman, and her hair was combed in a very simple bun, sometimes with a few small braids, or even only a few hairs, and a simple hairstyle with delicate hair accessories or a hairband when wearing men's clothes, which had made her beautiful and eye-catching.

Since she left the valley for many days, she and Zixuan have paid attention to the various hairstyles of the ladies when they get off the boat**. When she entered the mansion yesterday, Mrs. Wang and the concubines and maids in the mansion also had delicate and complicated hairstyles, which was not a bun that she or Zixuan could comb by themselves, so they still wore the hairstyles in the valley these days.

**Taken from online information - The Tang Dynasty had a prosperous economy and a developed culture, and women's hairstyles were also the most prosperous at this time. The number of shapes and the beauty of its name are unprecedented. According to historical records, there were 20 or 30 kinds of hairstyles for women in the Tang Dynasty, including half-turned buns, reverse buns, Leyou buns, sorrowful buns, lily buns, Feiyun buns, Guishun buns, Panhuan buns and so on. In the early Tang Dynasty, women followed the old style of the Sui Dynasty, the hair bun was relatively simple, and the changes were relatively small, and the hair was mostly flat-topped, dividing the hair into two to three layers, piling them up layer by layer, and combing the top into a cloud-like shape. In the Zhenguan period, women pay attention to hairstyles, and the buns become more and more towering, and there are high buns, prosthetic buns, flying buns, snail buns, reverse buns and so on.

On the famous Zhou Fang's painting "Hairpin Lady", several ladies wearing gauze clothes are combed with high buns, which are called ebuns in the Tang Dynasty, which can be more than one foot high, showing the grace and luxury of the girls.

Among them, the most beautiful belongs to the "half-turned bun", this hairstyle, comb the hair, use a knife type, straight and vertical hair top, and then turn to both sides, some are called "single knife and half upright". Some have a slight change, called "double knife half-turned bun".

By the time of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, it was popular among women to "look at the fairy bun with double rings". The two buns are high and high, inserted with various gold hostas and hairpins, rhino horns comb the hedge, and wear a loose long-sleeved shirt, which looks graceful. In addition, the most popular in the Tang Dynasty was a kind of "throwing the family bun", which was a hairstyle that combed two buns and hugged the face, and one bun was thrown, which best set off the delicate beauty of women.
