Chapter Eighty-Nine: Good Things Are Coming
After trimming her eyebrows, before Xie Ning came back to her senses, Mama Qin beckoned Mingshuang to step forward, "You can help me save her face." ”
Saving face? Xie Ning turned his head suspiciously, looked at the cotton thread in Mingshuang's hand, and asked puzzledly, "Isn't this something that women only do before they leave the pavilion?" ”
There are not many female dependents in the army, and every time there is a happy day, Xie Ning will come to help, and after a few times, she also has a little understanding of the process of getting married.
This face-saving is almost the most troublesome thing for that group of brides, and every time he looks at their painful appearance when he pulls his face, Xie Ning can't help but shudder.
She is not very afraid of pain, but this face-saving seems to be a very rough method, and now that Mama Qin and Mingshuang are coming to save her face, she will inevitably feel a little worried in her heart.
Mama Qin didn't pay attention to her little caution at all, but took care of herself to mix the gray powder, and then used a fine spoon to wipe it between Xie Ning's lips and nose little by little.
The back of the spoon was a little itchy to slide around on the surface, Xie Ning glanced at Mama Qin, resisted the urge to laugh, and didn't move again.
Mingshuang stepped forward with a smile and said, "Miss, don't worry, we just want to remove the fluff on your lips, it's not a face-saving face, it won't take long, and it won't hurt very much." ”
Mama Qin was still smearing powder on her face, Xie Ning didn't dare to move, so she could only wink at Mingshuang and respond.
At this moment, Mama Qin suddenly said, "It's okay." ”
Xie Ning almost didn't react, so Mingshuang scratched the corners of her mouth with a slightly wet white line in her hand, and when she stopped the movement in her hand, although Xie Ning didn't hurt so much that she grinned, she couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss." ”
Mama Qin glanced at her, and counted down expressionlessly: "This little thing is even worthy of your reaction." I can't even bear this bit of suffering, what else can I do. ”
It hurts a lot. While she wasn't paying attention, Xie Ning quietly stuck out his tongue in her direction, and then turned his head away, wanting to know what had changed on his face.
Mama Qin simply trimmed her eyebrows, which can make her seem to be a different person, presumably after this face-saving, it can also make her reborn again.
Xie Ning's idea was good, but when she saw the red on her face in the mirror, she couldn't help but be stunned. The expectations that I originally had in my heart turned into disappointment in a moment.
The fluff on her lips is gone, and she is not without change in front and back. But could it be that this change is not the reddening of the corners of the mouth?
Xie Ning looked at the figure in the mirror without tears, and complained to Mama Qin who walked behind her: "Look, I'm red." It is better not to be offended. ”
After all these times of getting along, Xie Ning has already felt that Mama Qin's face is cold and warm, this special teaching mama is more like an elder to her, although she is harsh, but also out of care. Therefore, when the two get along now, Xie Ning has long lost the restraint he had at the beginning, and in front of her, he has something to say and say without concealing it.
"What do you know," Mama Qin looked at her carefully, and then said to Xie Ning angrily: "After going to this fluff, my face is refreshing and clean." If it weren't for the fact that you hadn't come out of the cabinet, I would have wanted to shave your face thoroughly today. ”
Xie Ning hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, I'm still very early to leave the pavilion, you don't have to worry about this matter for the time being." ”
"Oh?" Mama Qin's eyes flashed, and she said jokingly: "It's still early, how do I think that good things are about to happen to you." ”
It was rare to see Mama Qin joking with herself, Xie Ning was not busy skimming it out, and followed her words and said funny: "Then I will borrow Mama's auspicious words." ”
This old and young come and go, and talk about it. Mingshuang, who was standing on the side, was a little unclear, looking at the corners of Xie Ning's upturned mouth, he couldn't help frowning secretly, and pondered silently.
After trimming the eyebrows and pulling the face, it was not long before it was time for lunch. A courtyard of people was divided into two tables, and after a lively meal, Xie Ning was about to go back to the room for a nap, when he was stopped by Mama Qin.
"Whoa."
Taking something from Mama Qin's hand, Xie Ning turned over and recognized that it was a small mirror, only hesitated for a moment, and then raised it in front of Mama Qin's impatient urging.
Hey? Xie Ning looked at his reflected face, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he was surprised: "This redness and swelling have faded!" ”
Mama Qin glanced at her, "After saving the face, the skin will be red." You girl, you know how to think cranky. Don't think about it, can Mama still harm you? ”
Xie Ning's face was hot, his face turned red again, knowing that he had just wrongly complained about Mama Qin, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but he happily admitted his mistake: "It's Xie Ning's villain's heart." Mama, you have a lot of adults, don't be surprised. I will obey what you want me to do. Even if you want me to go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, I will also be sent without hesitation. ”
"Who is sending you?" Mama Qin's tone was light, but there was an imperceptible smile in her eyes, "I think you have heard too many storytellers' jokes, and people are also demonstrative." ”
Xie Ning blinked his eyes and said seriously: "Mama is really amazing, I can even guess what I like to listen to." ”
"Don't be poor," Mama Qin looked at her with a straight face, and as soon as she lifted her feet, she walked towards Xie Ning's bedroom, "You look like you now, you can barely catch the eye." A few days ago, I taught you to learn the rules and etiquette, so that you can do it when you go out to socialize, and you will not make mistakes, so as not to attract ridicule. But if you want to gain a foothold in Beijing, it is impossible to make mistakes alone. ”
What Mama Qin said was reasonable, Xie Ning was touched, nodded and said: "I understand what Mama said, I was ignorant before, so I stayed aside and didn't dare to come out, but this talent is not something that can be done overnight." According to Mama's wishes, what should I do when I encounter a feast in the future? ”
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wind and snow, these things that were once extremely distant to her, and she still knows nothing about it, and she can't even talk about it. At such a level, how could she dare to show off in front of everyone?
But if you don't say a word and don't say anything, you will still be looked down upon. Thanks to Gao Yiyan's previous actions, almost every woman of the same generation who has crossed paths with Shaining has heard of her name.
She used to simply think that in the face of everyone's ridicule and disdain, as long as she ignored it, didn't argue, and didn't participate, such a thing would not happen again. But Mama Qin's words yesterday were like a blow to the head, and they woke her up in an instant.
