Chapter Eighty-Eight: Judgment of Two
On the second day after the banquet in the Wei Mansion, Xie Ning continued to follow Mama Qin's instructions. What is different from before is that after yesterday's long talk, Shainin's attitude has become more and more upright and modest.
Whether it is rules, etiquette, or talent, it is a skill that a boudoir woman should master. What's more, she has long had the ambition to take the female official exam, and from then on, she will no longer be underestimated, and she will no longer be calculated by others, but she can't do anything.
That's why she should learn these things well.
After getting up early to stretch his fists and feet, Xie Ning had dinner, and followed Mama Qin back to the bedroom, looking at the objects on the dressing table, recognizing that they were all bought by Mama Qin and others when they went out a few days ago, and couldn't help but say curiously: "Mama, what are you going to do?" "Aren't these things all put away by Mingshuang?
Seeing the doubts in her eyes, Mama Qin explained lightly: "You behaved well a few days ago, and from today onwards, you don't have to learn this rule for the time being." The Buddha wants gold, people want clothes, your foundation is too bad, you have to clean it up. Come and sit down. ”
Mama Qin's words were straightforward, Xie Ning's face turned red, and he secretly glanced at the figure reflected in the bronze mirror on the stage, but he was secretly puzzled in his heart about Mama Qin's "clean up".
She has always known that her appearance is not ordinary, not as stunning as Gu Qingyun, because she likes to go out, she is not as fair as most women, and it is even more difficult to notice when she pretends to be a man. But can this natural appearance be changed after cleaning up?
Xie Ning didn't believe this, but looking at Mama Qin's confident look, she silently swallowed the doubts in her heart, followed the other party's wishes, and sat down in front of the dressing table.
Sitting closely, the figure in the bronze mirror became clearer and clearer, Xie Ning sat upright, but his dark and bright eyes were spinning around, and without a trace, he used the bronze mirror in front of him to look at Mama Qin's movements behind him.
I saw Mama Qin take a pair of tweezers from a few cases on the side, and after holding it in her hand, she turned around and walked over, calling out the door: "Mingshuang, bring the twisted wire." ”
"Hey." The sound of response came from the courtyard, and before the Mingshuang people arrived, Mama Qin held the silver tweezers in her hand, aimed at Xie Ning's face, and approached.
A cold light flashed in front of him, Xie Ning felt the danger in front of him, and subconsciously dodged sideways, until he hurriedly stood up, only to notice Mama Qin's instantly blue face, and couldn't help but say, "Mama...... I...... Fang Cai was out of control for a while, not intentionally dodging. ”
Mama Qin glanced at her coldly, and said expressionlessly, "Sit down." ”
"Oh," receiving the warning look in Mama Qin's eyes, Xie Ning didn't delay any longer, and sat back quickly, closing his eyes with an expression of looking at death as if he were at home.
If there is anything wrong with people who practice martial arts, it is that they are too vigilant. Mama Qin just approached, she didn't even think about it, she subconsciously got up and dodged, if it weren't for the fact that she still had reason in her heart, on another occasion, and then facing this sharp weapon that directly attacked the door, I was afraid that she would definitely make a quick move to counter the other party.
With his eyes closed, his ears became a little more sensitive, and when Xie Ning was secretly glad in his heart that he hadn't missed and injured Mama Qin, he heard Mingshuang's movement coming from the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, without warning, the eyebrows were gently swept by, and the cold touch that came made Xie Ning easily identify that it was the silver tweezers in Mama Qin's hand.
It turned out that Mama Qin was going to trim her eyebrows. Xie Ning's heart was relieved, he lost his earlier panic, and his tightly closed eyelashes were slightly stretched.
Seeing that her expression was relaxed, Mama Qin's movements also slowed down, looking at the figure reflected in the mirror, and carefully trimming Xie Ning's eyebrows.
After about a quarter of an hour, Mama Qin took the silver tweezers away, took a few steps back, and looked at Xie Ning for a few times before nodding with satisfaction and commanding loudly: "Okay, you can see for yourself what is the difference from before." ”
Hearing this, Xie Ning immediately raised her eyes and looked ahead, not wanting to be stunned when she saw the originally familiar face in the mirror.
Is this still her? It's just a trim of the eyebrows, how can there be such a big change?
Xie Ning looked at herself in the mirror suspiciously, and her eyebrows, which had just been trimmed, also frowned, it was clearly still her, and her face was clearly still doing this usual expression, but it made her feel a little strange.
She has always had double curved willow eyebrows, and Mama Qin didn't make any deliberate changes when she trimmed her eyebrows, but on the basis of her original eyebrow shape, she plucked out a few messy fine hairs and simply modified her.
But this only a quarter of an hour before and after can make such a earth-shaking change in a person! Even if the outline reflected in the mirror was vague and not clear, Xie Ning could notice a noticeable change in his face.
The girl in front of her combed a simple double bun, her long eyelashes couldn't hide her bright eyes, and under the two slender willow eyebrows, there was a pair of apricot eyes with the same arc and slight bend.
Looking at his face so intently was the first time for Shainin.
I don't know how long it took for her to be immersed in the amazement in her heart, looked behind her in disbelief, and asked in surprise: "Mama, how can you make such a big change in me when you trim your eyebrows this time?" After this short quarter of an hour of eyebrow trimming, now she finally understands what it means to judge two people. Fortunately, she is extremely familiar with her face, if she changes to someone else, I am afraid that she will be even more difficult to recognize, before and after this eyebrow trim, it is the same person.
Mama Qin glanced at her, with a little imperceptible pride and pride in her expression, and explained with a rare and pleasant face: "You girl, you don't know how to dress up on weekdays. This eyebrow shape, at a glance, you can see that it has never been repaired. Don't underestimate this eyebrow shape, in fact, it can be very useful. Right now, you're just scratching your eyebrows. In the future, you will have to choose what kind of eyebrow style to draw according to the clothes and jewelry you are wearing. ”
Xie Ning nodded as if he didn't understand, and some clips of going out and making friends flashed in his mind. In my memory, when the ladies of the family got together, they did often discuss these things.
