Chapter 6: Taejun's Birthday Banquet

The first impression is very important, Mrs. Xie carried out strict special training for Qian Luojin, compared to learning complicated rules, Luo Jin is willing to return to the third year of high school to prepare for the college entrance examination, in Luo Jin's opinion, the most important thing to learn in the whole house is Xie Yanyuan, but because he is a boy, he can be idle all day long.

I heard that Mama Jiaoyin came out of the palace, and she didn't show mercy to several young ladies, but fortunately, Mrs. Qian laid a good foundation for Luojin, so that Qian Luojin would not be too embarrassed, but she was not less reprimanded by Mama Jiao, and people in their twenties had to be corrected to sit and stand, Qian Luojin's face was flushed. Don't look at Xie Yaohua's usual posture that her sister can't climb, she has been trained no less, Xie Yaohua couldn't hold it on her face, and blushed with Qian Luojin.

The best one to learn is Xie Mengyao, she learns the fastest, and her every move has her own tone, teaching Mama to like Xie Yaohua the most, and she sighed in private: "The appearance, the rules, are all the best, but it's a pity that it's a concubine." ”

In addition to words and deeds, there is also appearance that affects the first impression, and the facial features are given by my parents, which cannot be changed, but rouge gouache can make people more eye-catching. For the first time, Qian Luojin knew that there was a grandmother who specialized in teaching skin care, but grandma, your face is the same as an aged orange peel, and it is very unconvincing to teach.

Every morning, a cart of freshly picked flowers would be sent to each room, and the ladies and ladies would always use more. The newly sent flowers, with the morning dew on them, the maids first picked out the beautiful ones and filled the vases in the room, and the rest were used by the young lady to wash and bathe.

Han Cui, who is beside Luo Jin, likes to play with flowers and plants the most, and decorates Luo Jin's room like a botanical garden, and praises the flower room in front of Luo Jin several times, and many flowers have never been seen. Of course, it is no wonder that Xie Yanyuan is arrogant in front of her, there is a big difference in the quality of life between the people in the capital and the people in the countryside.

Mrs. Xie looked at Luo Jin, who was washed and slippery, the rich lady has strong genes, the foundation is not bad, the little face is white, and the facial features are also delicate and pleasing, there is no need to spend much time to describe, but this rouge is no longer the most fashionable usage in the capital, Mrs. Xie instructed Baoping: "Go and invite the lingering mother of Zhenrong Fang." ”

Zhenrongfang is the most famous place to make rouge gouache in the capital, the rouge in the palace is paid tribute from here, and the makeup lady here is also the first-class level in the capital, and is often invited into the palace by the mother, the so-called makeup lady is similar to the modern makeup artist, and Yingniang is one of the most outstanding makeup girls in Zhenrongfang.

It's not easy to invite the red card makeup lady of Zhenrong Fang, not to mention that there are so many official eunuchs and daughters, there are a large number of women in the palace who use makeup as a battlefield, Yingniang has some friendship with the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Zhenguo Mansion will most likely not shirk her if she is invited, Xie Menghua and Xie Mengyao's enlightenment teachers are all her.

Qian Luojin also thought that the woman who taught people to make up must have to wear heavy makeup, Yingniang was different from what she imagined, she was a beautiful woman, the color of the whole person was light, there was not even a pattern on the lotus clothes, and there was only a faint powder on her face, a little water rouge and red lips, and nothing else.

In Yingniang's own words: I can't finish the line of people who ask me for makeup every day, and I don't have the heart to paint for myself.

"Miss is still young, rouge gouache should not be used too much, just learn some basics." Compared with the stern teaching of Mama, Yingniang is so gentle that she can drip water, and a little rouge is dipped in water on her fingertips and gently traces on Luo Jin's face.

"Can I ...... Don't draw? "Mrs. Xie asked Mama to work overtime to make up lessons for Qian Luojin, Luojin now gets up earlier than the chickens, and gets up in the morning to wash and paint, what time do you have to get up?

Ying Niang Yan smiled: "Miss can't do without makeup even if she is naturally beautiful, a little powder can make people more eye-catching, you are still too young, you will know in the future that a woman's face can affect whether you can find a good husband." ”

Qian Luojin felt sorry for herself, and finally crossed into Bai Fumei and was trapped in the rules and regulations of ancient women, she was so rich, and she still had to rely on her face to find her husband? Can't you run a beauty contest like the heroine in the heroine's novel and marry the most handsome man in the country?

The answer is: of course not.

Luo Jin herself wants to pick up someone on the street, it is best for him to find ten or eight concubines after marriage, and no one will harass anyone, but her cheap parents will not agree in the first place, even her nosy aunt can't let her go, and a girl who is not in tune will affect both clans.

As a woman, how to make herself comfortable in ancient times, Qian Luojin still needs to think long-term.

Mrs. Qian chose this time to bring Qian Luojin here, but also to catch up with Mrs. Xie's birthday banquet, Mrs. Xie is fifty-seven this year, and she can only be regarded as a middle-aged woman in modern times, and she is already an old lady in ancient times, although she has not lived an integer birthday, the birthday banquet of the old lady in the Zhenguo Mansion cannot be low-key.

Mrs. Xie began to make arrangements for the birthday banquet a month ago, and the first three days of the birthday banquet were so busy that she had less time to sleep, and she led her three big girls to order before dawn every day.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Xie doesn't care about the house now, and Mrs. Xie is in charge of everything big and small, how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, and if there is a little bit of inconsiderate at the birthday banquet, I don't know how many mouths will laugh at her. Fortunately, Xie Menghua is older, and he also learned some housekeeping things by Mrs. Xie's side, plus the help of a few henchmen, mothers and maids, and finally arranged all the old lady's birthday.

Today finally came to the right day, before dawn, the servants on the Zhuangzi sent all the vegetables in the dark, and the trolleys loaded with ingredients came in and out from the side gate of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Mrs. Xie's three big maids, Baoping, Qiaoping, and Shanping, each took stock of their own errands, and on the fifth watch, the four young ladies in the house were also taken out of the bed, and Mrs. Xie asked Yingniang to paint them one by one.

There are not many children who can comb their hair buns, Yingniang combed the same double buns for the four sisters, and the new clothes sent by the Splendid Workshop are also exactly the same materials and the same styles, these are all specially explained by Mrs. Xie.

Even Yingniang couldn't help but smile when she saw four little girls standing together like Russian nesting dolls: "If the people with few girls see it, they will be envious." ”

Mrs. Xie's biological daughter really didn't hurt in vain, Xie Menghua was worried about helping her mother after dressing up, Qian Luojin waited in the hall with Xie Mengyao and Xie Mengxi, Qian Luojin sat on the chair and kept nodding her head and wanted to sleep, Mrs. Qian was afraid that she would drop the chain in the big scene, so she asked Mama Jiaoyin to accompany her to practice until midnight last night. Countless scientific evidence shows that driving a night train before the exam is useless, Qian Luojin only feels that her twenty-year-old IQ has been insulted, isn't it just a dessert, if she doesn't make those old ladies bleed, she will be a crossing girl in vain.

Xie Mengxi still didn't understand what was going on, she was younger, more lethargic, she took a nap when she sat in a chair, her nurse couldn't bear to wake her up, and let her steal more sleep while no one was there.

Xie Mengyao is worthy of being a child who is valued by Mama Teaching, the two younger sisters around her are sleepy, she can still straighten her waist and make a standard sitting posture for everyone who teaches Mama Teacher.

Xiuxi, who was sent by Qian Luojin to bring the wind, walked in quickly and whispered in Luojin's ear: "The old lady is here." ”

Qian Luojin raised her head suddenly, cheered up, and sat up straight with Xie Mengyao, and Xie Mengxi's maid next to her was also clever, seeing that there was a situation, she was busy pushing her own young lady awake. Mrs. Xie walked into the house with the support of Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Qian, and saw that the three children were sitting energetically, very satisfied.

Mrs. Xie was also very happy when she looked at the three children dressed in the same costume, and said to Xie Menghua, "Go, sit with your sisters." ”

The four girls sat side by side, from oldest to smallest, all wearing begonia red embroidered finch skirts, with double buns on their heads, and all the flowers were all Danxin chrysanthemums, Xie Lao Taijun was really amused and laughed all the time: "Send a few more old mothers to watch them for a while, it's strange and cute, don't be stolen." After speaking, he teased Xie Yanyuan: "Which of them do you think is the best-looking?" ”

Xie Yanyuan's eyes rolled around, and he hugged Mrs. Xie's arm and coquettishly: "I'm not as good-looking as me, I look like a mother, the best-looking." ”

Mrs. Xie turned her head to Mrs. Xie and said, "Look, you haven't been pregnant with him for ten months in vain, and you know that it is towards you." ”

Now even Mrs. Xie couldn't stop smiling, with this son here, don't mention how smooth the life is.

No wonder Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie hurt Xie Tanyuan so much that their three views were distorted, the bear child's mouth was really sweet, but when she saw Xie Tanyuan on a happy day, Luo Jin felt unlucky, Old Taijun, today is your good day, don't you really think about tying up Xie Tanyuan and locking him in the firewood room to keep him safe?
