Chapter 36: Daughter's Makeup
This was the third time I'd run down the street wet, and we made a detour through the back door of Chen's secluded back door.
The Chen family is a scholarly family, Chen Suyan was a wealthy boy before her father became a county magistrate, the family background is excellent, there are piles of maids in the house, and the hands and feet are flexible, and it didn't take long for me to have a hot bath to wash.
I rubbed my hair and came out of the bathroom, seeing that it was getting late, and that there was a wedding banquet to go in the evening, and I had to hurry up to prepare for the wedding gift.
I rubbed my hair and went to Chen Suyan to say goodbye, she was sitting in front of the dresser and asked Nuan Xia to comb her hair. When she saw me coming, she smiled: "Here it is." ”
The left side of her face was swollen, and there was a large area of black blue under her right eye socket, and I couldn't help but gloat when I saw her like this: "I really didn't expect you to get into a fight with the Qinglou woman on the street with me." ”
She couldn't help but laugh: "It's not supposed to, but it's fun." ”
"Will you go after that?"
"Okay!"
I glanced at her: "Don't do it, your county official father will say that I took you badly, and you have to arrest me." ”
"Haha, then I'll go to prison!"
The rebellious energy in her bones made me sigh to myself, and I remembered the matter: "I'm going to go first, and I'm going to attend your ex-husband's wedding in the evening." ”
She nodded quietly, "um", I turned around and left, she stopped me: "Chu Jiu!" Are you going like this? ”
"Huh?"
She raised her hand and beckoned me: "Come here, I'll dress you up." ”
As a result, her so-called "one time" was to dress up for two whole hours.
She summoned a group of maids, and brought a crescent stool to the door, and I was forced to press on it, and a group of people surrounded me, raising their eyebrows, blushing, and purging their lips. The bun has been changed one after another, Benxian bun, double knife bun, ingots bun, spirit snake bun, Suiyun bun...... In the end, I got a flying bun and wore a flower and a flower and a bead to shake.
Chen Suyan opened her huge rosewood wardrobe, her slender fingers slid over a row of clothes, and picked out an off-white butterfly pattern rain silk skirt, with fine broken edge flowers on the placket, exquisite workmanship, delicate and aura, and the clothes were dotted with faint pink circles, like rippling ripples, and like rendered brush and ink.
After she asked me to change into it, she tied it around my waist with a colorful cloud pink satin belt, and reached out to measure it: "It looks like a lot thinner...... She pondered slightly, and picked out a pale pink raccoon soft shirt to put on for me: "That's it!" ”
A group of women circled around me a few times, and finally nodded in satisfaction: "I can't see that it's also a little beauty!" ”
I was fiddled with drowsy, yawning again and again, and suddenly being praised like this, I couldn't help blushing: "Give me the mirror, let me see!" ”
"Don't give, don't give!" Chen Suyan hurriedly asked them to put it away, and smiled at me: "You go home and see for yourself!" ”
I don't have a very rare look painted with heavy makeup, and I don't feel like I'm myself. But for the first time in my life, I was praised for my good looks, and my vanity was greatly satisfied. I pulled Chunman up in an uproar: "Then I'll go back and have a look!" ”
I was so excited that I always felt that other people's eyes were on me, but at the same time, I knew very well that my current appearance was not ugly at most, and with my background, no matter how carefully dressed I was, it would not be beautiful. When I bought maltose, Uncle Huang, who was carrying the burden, didn't recognize me, and usually gave me more weight, but now not only is it, but it is not enough, this treacherous little old man, I am greedy for a little cheap in the young lady's house, but I took it happily, I am afraid that he will be embarrassed.
When I crossed Zhuhe Road from Jinxiangjiu Street, I suddenly heard a gong and drum, and passers-by ran happily towards the source of the sound.
An extremely long queue of relatives dressed in red scarlet winds its way from the intersection. It was nearly dusk, and the outermost two groups of people held high red lanterns, and the long street against the lights was hazy and magnificent.
The first is the gong and drum team, blowing festive music, followed by a young women's dance team, wearing a pink skirt of Xia clothes, pinned to a small flower basket around the waist, when swaying lightly, from time to time grab the five-color petals in the small flower basket and sprinkle it towards the crowd, colorful like a tide, brilliant and gorgeous. Behind the dance team were ten cute and cute girls, wearing red brocade dresses, greeting passers-by with a grin.
A passer-by wondered: "Why don't you see the bride's safflower sedan chair?" ”
Someone next to him replied: "I heard that the bride is at her husband's house, and there is no mother's house to greet her relatives. ”
"In this way, it seems that it is really a rich family!"
"That's not it, Mu Qu Gongzi is famous all over the world, and he is very rich!"
……
It turned out that this was Mu Xiangcai's wedding team to marry Bang Que.
I slapped the door of my head, and it was over, and I hadn't bought the gift yet! At this time, the chief shopkeeper of Si Lin Qian Zhuang should go home, and I went to report the loss of the ticket number, and it is estimated that no one will be the master. With this little bit of silver, it's not enough to buy a mahogany toilet......
After thinking about it, the only thing I am worth is the mutton fat hosta that Yang Xiuyi gave me, and it just so happens that I plan to sell it, so it is better to borrow flowers and offer Buddha.
I was lazy, turned my head and begged Chunman to help me go home to get it, and then send it to Xicheng Mu's house. I myself chased after the big group and giggled away. didn't think about it, Mu Xiangcai's banquet was not set up in his own home, but in Fengshang Restaurant, and he spent a lot of money to charter the entire restaurant.
Several festively dressed men stood at the door of the restaurant with a large string of firecrackers, crackling and ringing, and the pale red gunnon suits were like naughty children, jumping around, falling on the red carpet, and spilling all over the ground.
I covered my ears and hid in the crowd to join in the fun, not daring to come forward and get too close, many children were bold and naughty, and as a result, their faces were injured and they screamed in that wah.
The sky is getting dark, and the tall lanterns of the restaurant are lit up, shining brilliantly. I pestle at the door waiting for Chunman, Fengshang Restaurant is very magnificent, six carved ebony doors are open, a group of red-clothed welcome team with a spring breeze smile to entertain the guests.
Mu Xiangcai is a celebrity, even if he likes to be elegant and quiet on weekdays, but he has a lot of friends in his classmates, and there are not a few like-minded friends. The accompanying ladies are like flowers and jade, like flowers of spring dawn.
I casually swept it, but I saw Qingchan in the crowd, and given that her waist was too thin, I spotted her at a glance. She was dressed very heavily, wearing a two-color brocade dress, with a waist and chest, a skirt swaying to the ground, walking like cirrus clouds with smoke, and a smile on her face like a warm sun made people lose their souls. A delicate girl in ice blue and jade clothes held her arm, and the two of them talked and laughed together into the spacious restaurant courtyard, followed by two maids.
She is a Qinglou woman, although my prejudice against Qinglou women is not as heavy as that of ordinary people, but I know that they should not appear on such occasions. It is impossible for Mu Xiangcai to have a relationship with them. Then there is only one explanation, the lady who came with the guests.
I was stunned, was Yang Xiuyi invited her here?
I looked back at the brightly lit restaurant and suddenly didn't want to go in. Here is a virtue with the bright light and shadow, the string songs, and the willow dance!
The inexplicable irritability made me turn around and leave, but as soon as I turned my head, I saw Yang Xiuyi. He was wearing a purple robe, with a straight and straight beard, the piping was full of silver silk flowing cloud patterns, and a golden auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade belt around his waist. His hair was tied with a crown of purple and gold, and his long black hair was as smooth as satin, swaying slightly with the folding fan in his hand.
This dress sets off his already handsome face more and more unparalleled, and the whole person is tall and handsome, and he is full of spirit. He walked slowly, like a leisurely aristocratic son, meditating on what to eat for the evening.
Seeing him coming towards me, I was suddenly very nervous, and my heartbeat missed half a beat for no reason, leaving the annoying Qingchan behind for the time being.
I bit my lip and watched him walk towards me. It's my first time wearing makeup, and I don't even know what it looks like, what will he think? Do you compliment me on my good looks or make fun of me for being ugly? I clenched my palms, inexplicably flustered, probably because he had been attacking my appearance since I was a child, so he caused me to be anxious now.
Five-step, four-step, three-step......
It was getting closer and closer, and I couldn't even breathe, but he didn't lift his head, and walked straight past me, not noticing me at all. Only the fragrance of Du Ruo wafting from him, faint, familiar and refreshing, like a naughty little guy, teasing my snort.
I was stunned, and then I let out a sigh, forget it, I can't see that I'm the best, and his poisonous mouth said something sad. And it just so happened that I didn't want to go with him to eat a table tonight, and I saw him and his old friend Qingchan there.
"Girl!" Chunman ran over, "Why don't you go in?" ”
I was yelled back to my senses, staring at her, so dignified, why are you calling me at this time.
I was displeased: "It's cool outside, I'll ride the wind!" ”
"Then you're not going in?"
"If you want to enter, leave me alone."
"Girl, who you off?"
I babbled: "I've always had a bad temper, and if no one makes me angry, I'll be angry with myself, you can't take care of it." ”
Suddenly I felt that my scalp was numb, as if someone was poking the back of my head with a chopstick, and I frowned and said, "Yang Xiuyi is behind me?" ”
Chunman nodded: "Childe is looking at you!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, my shoulders tightened suddenly, and a large hand swept me through.
The heart began to beat again, like a loose horse, no, a mad horse, running in a suicidal way across the steppe. I didn't dare to look at him, my eyes wandered around, dodging as if I had done something wrong.
I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, and just when I felt like my heart was about to strike, he took out the sheepfat hosta and inserted it diagonally into my bun.
His voice was unusually light: "I finally have the appearance of a woman." ”
I couldn't help but raise a smile, hurriedly retracted, looked up and said, "You are dressed so ceremoniously, is it possible that you want to compete with Mu Xiangcai for the limelight?" ”
He is quite narcissistic: "I have never fought for the limelight, because I am mine wherever I go." ”
I snorted, "Shameless." ”
He raised his hand and knocked on my forehead, his mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't make any sound, but pursed his lips and smiled inexplicably. He turned his head sideways and rubbed his nose, "Let's go in." ”
He looked weird, and I asked him, "What's wrong with you?" ”
He looked back at me, his eyes were very bright, like starlight, and he smiled at me again, this time he didn't hold back, and gave me a white smile without hesitation.
Behind him, the bright lights and mottled figures were like clouds in the sky, gathering him in a cluster. His teeth dazzled my eyes, and my brain was hazy, and I couldn't hear the noise of the crowd around me. He didn't laugh, but laughed quietly, sunnyly, and beautifully.
I suddenly remembered that when I was in the green willows, I asked the woman in red if there was a male prostitute in it. If Yang Xiuyi goes to be a male prostitute, he should be like an oiran among prostitutes. If all the brothel Oiran in the country were to come together and rank up, I think it would be absolutely no problem for him to make it to the top ten. "What are you thinking?" He shook his hand in front of me. I quickly came back to my senses and shook my head hurriedly: "It's okay, let's go in." If he had known that I had assumed him to be an Oiran, I would have to spend the night in the well in the backyard tonight.
