Before dawn, several lamps were burning in the girl's boudoir.

Cheng Wei sat in front of the half-used dresser, silently looking into the diora carved with gold entwined roses.

The girl in the mirror is only thirteen or fourteen years old, if it is a fine clue, a pair of distant mountain eyebrows are comfortable and cheerful, under the eyebrows is a beautiful shape of the inner double Danfeng eyes, the pupils are black and bright, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, with the standard goose egg face, I think it is also a young little beauty who is just showing her style, but it is a pity that the slightly dark and rough skin, as well as a few red pox on the forehead and cheeks, and the acne marks on the chin that have not faded, have taken away the interest of others to take a second look seriously.

Cheng Wei took a second and third looks, then opened the carved red lacquer peony flower opening box on the dressing table, took out a box of fat powder printed with the three elegant characters of "Qiao Tiancheng", dipped it and carefully wiped it on his face.

"Don't apply grease and powder, I said earlier, when you are born, your face has to be changed, what is the use of relying on your layers of face brushing?"

A shrill voice suddenly sounded in his mind, but Cheng Wei only paused his hand slightly, and looked at the maid waiting on the side with no different face: "Huan Yan, am I okay like this?" ”

The maid named Huanyan was a beautiful little girl, but she was a little stupid, and when she heard the girl ask her, she took a serious look and said, "It's too white, like the white steamed bun that the girl rewarded me with yesterday!" ”

The corners of Cheng Wei's mouth stiffened, and the pink-clothed maid on the other side hurriedly said: "Girl, don't listen to this little hoof's nonsense, you used this "ingenious" fat powder, and your face is as white as a jade lotus in the clear pool, and your cousin will be happy when he sees it." ”

The corners of Cheng Wei's mouth couldn't help but curl, she felt that the girl should be shy when she heard this, and she couldn't show the joy of seeing Cousin Zhi too obviously, and raised her chin slightly: "Hugh is talking nonsense, what does this have to do with Cousin Zhi?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a white silk handkerchief and wiped some of the fat powder off his face.

Originally, among the two maids, she preferred a sweet mouth, but as the voice that appeared inexplicably in her head became more and more mean in the past half a year, Huan Yan's stupid words in the past fell into her ears, and she was no longer so depressed, but subconsciously felt more reliable.

Seeing Cheng Wei's movements, Qiaorong's face sank slightly, and the corner of his eyes glanced at Huan Yan fiercely, and continued to beg: "It's the maid who said the wrong thing, and anyone in our girl is happy when she sees it-"

It just so happened that the voice sounded again: "Wipe it again, your face full of acne marks are revealed again, I said it earlier, as long as you listen to me, put some blood, don't say it's your acne marks, and this black face, even the big scar at the mouth of the bowl can make it smooth as before-"

Cheng Wei, who had always been calm, showed a little fear in his eyes, suddenly changed his face, and said coldly: "Shut up!" ”

Qiao Rong was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with anger, and he hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "It's the maid who can't speak-"

Cheng Wei only felt physically and mentally exhausted, waved his hand and said, "You all go out." ”

After the two maids withdrew, they gritted their teeth and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about those nonsense, I'm already a big girl, so I won't be deceived by the rhetoric of your lonely ghost!" ”

Her voice had not yet taken off the crispness of a girl, and naturally there was nothing threatening at all, and the voice laughed mockingly: "Hehe, in fact, you are moved, right, why are you so afraid to listen to me?" ”

Cheng Wei pursed her lips suddenly.

She thought, this demon must be extremely evil, listen to what it says, the way to get rid of pox marks, it has; The way to whiten delicate skin, it has; There are even ways to make your eyelashes longer!

What girl is not moved by these words?

Fortunately, she used to like to pester her second brother to tell books, and she heard the story of ghosts and seductive people, and finally killed people, so she didn't let it succeed!

Seeing that Cheng Wei was still unmoved, the voice became more and more mean: "Tsk, just with your appearance, it's no wonder that your cousin rejected it!" ”

"Nonsense, cousin Zhi is not a person who judges people by their appearance!" Cheng Wei was really annoyed.

There are many cousins in her grandfather's family, but since she can remember, every time she passes, her cousin will hold her hand, take her to enjoy flowers and eat snacks, and climb trees together, and watch ants move, which is better than her cousins. When she is older, although Cousin Zhi will no longer hold her hand, he is still gentle and kind to her.

Although she was troubled by her appearance, she later found out that the people she cared about and cared about her, such as Cousin Zhi, had never disliked her because of this, so she gradually put this trouble aside.

"Since he is not a person who judges people by their appearance, then what are you doing before dawn?"

When Cheng Wei heard this, a little embarrassment flashed on his face, but he said calmly: "Although Cousin Zhi doesn't care, I want to make myself look better." ”

Speaking of this, she paused, and before the voice sounded, she blocked what it was about to say: "But I won't be tempted by you to use blood to make some ghost drawings, you should die as soon as possible, and stop pestering me!" ”

The voice suddenly quieted down, and a Qiaorong voice came from outside the door: "Girl, the second girl is here." ”

The expression on Cheng Wei's face softened suddenly, and he said, "Please come in." ”

Before she had taken two steps to stand up, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came in from behind the screen.

She is in the first bloom of women, beautiful and dignified, moderate in size, showing good upbringing in her gestures, and the smile on her lips that has never faded is amiable.

Cheng Wei had a thought in her heart: No wonder I often hear others whispering that the second sister is more like a concubine than herself, and in terms of appearance and temperament, she is indeed not up to par.

The girl smiled before she could say anything: "I came to see if I needed help, but I didn't expect the third sister to be dressed up properly." ”

As she spoke, her eyes fluttered, and she fell on the unclosed fat powder box on the dressing table, and smiled: "I said that the third sister looked exceptionally good today, it turned out that she used the fat powder of 'Qiao Tiancheng', let me guess, this must have been sent by the second brother, right?" Alas, except for the eldest sister who entered the palace as the crown princess, among the three sisters in our second room, the second brother loves you alone, no wonder my fourth sister and I always have pantothenic acid in our hearts. ”

Although she said this, the smile on her face did not decrease, obviously it was just a joke, and the intimacy between the sisters was naturally revealed.

Cheng Wei hurriedly defended the second brother: "It's not that the second brother is eccentric, it's ...... It was my nose that cried on my birthday, so my second brother bought a few boxes of rouge gouache and sent them over. I still have a box here that has not been opened, so the second sister will take it and use it first. ”

Speaking of his birthday, Cheng Wei was a little depressed, and reached out to take out a box of unopened fat powder from the box and handed it over. Because it was given by the second brother, although there was a little reluctance in my heart, because it was given to the second sister, I suppressed the reluctance.

Speaking of which, the eldest sister and her are sisters-in-law, and the relationship between the two sisters is good, but because of the age difference, the second sister Cheng Yao, who is only two years older than her and her biological mother died early, has been playing together since she was a child.

"I've never used that." Cheng Yao took Cheng Wei's hand and patted it comfortingly, "It was a bad day that day, let the little overlord eavesdrop, and everyone who shouted is known, otherwise my cousin would not have put on a cold appearance and made the third sister sad." ”

Cheng lowered his eyes slightly and muttered, "Yes." ”

On her birthday, she couldn't help but confide in her cousin Zhi, who had been close to her since childhood, and never thought that the little overlord of the old prince's family and a few playmates hid aside and eavesdropped, spreading the news and making her a laughing stock in the capital.

Up to now, Cheng Wei can't forget the look on her cousin when she lowered her face and said, "Cousin Wei, please respect yourself", and after meeting several times, Cousin Zhi avoided her with a cold face, so that she never had a chance to speak.

Today is my cousin's sixteenth birthday, but he can't avoid it anymore, she just wants to ask, is it because of her confession that he has become the talk of people after dinner, so she is ashamed to ignore her?

Cheng Wei felt aggrieved in his heart.

It seems that everyone has forgotten that her birthday, the second day of the second month of February, is the annual Flower Festival of Daliang!

On this day, young men and women have the courage to confide in their sweethearts, as long as they are affectionate and polite, they should not be ridiculed.

When she reminds Cousin Zhi, Cousin Zhi won't be cold to her, right? Even if she didn't want her, she couldn't live in her grandfather's house forever as she dreamed of when she was a child, she was still his cousin.

Thinking of her cousin's good past, Cheng Wei was a little more sure in her heart, although she had a good relationship with Cheng Yao, she didn't want her to look at the fragile side, so she raised her head and said, "It's time to go, right?" ”

At this time, Qiao Rongxiao asked, "Girl, which one are you wearing today?" ”

Cheng Wei subconsciously cast an inquiring look at Cheng Yao.

The second sister can always match the ordinary clothes and accessories brilliantly, not to mention the appearance, the talent seems to be born with it, let her pick up the lamp and read it at night, and she can't catch up with the splendid chapter that the second sister casually said.

Cheng Wei occasionally couldn't help but be jealous, and thought about it, although she didn't have these to show off, she could still show off her sister.

Her eldest sister is a virtuous princess, and her second sister is the first talented woman in the capital, not all of her sisters have this blessing, especially - and compare the nasty crybaby of Lian Jiaoju!

Cheng Yao glanced at the several cloaks presented by Qiao Rong, and pointed to one of them: "This moon is white and plain brocade and silver, and it is beautiful." ”

She suddenly lowered her voice and said with a smile: "I look at it coldly, my cousin likes to wear plain clothes." ”

Cheng Wei's eyes swept over the bright red cloak sprinkled with flowers, and nodded: "Just wear the moon-white one." ”

She actually likes red, but the second sister said a few years ago that people with dark skin will have darker faces when they wear red, and since then, she hasn't touched red much.

After getting dressed, Cheng Yao took Cheng Wei's hand and went to Yiran Garden.

Cheng Wei is tall and a little plump, wrapped in a moon-white cloak, which seems to be more plump, just looking at it from the back, she is only thirteen years old, compared to Cheng Yao, who has a graceful body, she is more like a sister.

The corners of Qiao Rong's mouth twitched, and when she noticed Huan Yan looking at her quietly, she glared fiercely, and hurriedly raised her heels.
