Chapter 36 Back to the peak of appearance
Xu Rongchan came to knock on the door and called me.
I didn't think I was ugly, I almost stayed up all night, and I just felt a splitting headache.
Xu Rongchan held a tense face and handed me a bronze mirror.
I didn't know where I was, but I looked at the bronze mirror again.
In the mirror, the woman's hair is messy, the purple lines on the lower half of her face are dense like a fishing net, and the upper half of her skin is like white porcelain, but for some reason there are a few red spots, and the only desirable thing about the whole face is a pair of black and bright deer eyes, which are smart and pretty, but due to excessive insomnia, the bottom of the eyes is deep blue, and the whole person looks particularly weird and decadent.
With a clang, the bronze mirror fell to the ground: "Ghost! ”
Rong Juan picked up the bronze mirror and held it up in front of me: "Does Miss want to go to Guoziyuan with this look?" ”
I jumped up, put on my middle coat and was about to run out: "Auntie will wait for me to go to my brother-in-law to tie up!" "Yesterday, the purple veins didn't climb so fast, how did they become like this today? And what is the red dot that doesn't hurt or itch, isn't it a Gu worm that has started to be a demon again, and he doesn't love purple clothes and loves red clothes?
Rong Shu hugged me, pressed me to the dresser and said, "Miss Hugh is going to do it again, Guoziyuan starts class early, it's too late." ”
I pointed to my face and said, "How is this good?" ”
Xu Rongchan sighed helplessly: "It's okay for Miss to sit like this, don't make trouble for the slaves." ”
After that, a number of palace maids rushed in, holding basins, clothes, accessories, and a delicate round box, the box is a black and brown lacquer bottom, painted with purple, gold, and white to chase the moon with colorful clouds, supplemented by cone paintings in individual places, gorgeous and dignified, elegant and fine, I can't help but be amazed: "Aunt Rongchan has made something delicious, do you want to surprise me in the box?" ”
The three grandmothers didn't want to say a word to me at all, and when the washing was over, the round box was opened, and my eyes widened, it turned out that it was not food, it was filled with rouge gouache!
I had seen a box of rouge gouache in my second brother's shop before, but I had never seen such a large and complete one.
When those palace maids saw that I had never seen the world, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare, and they were about to suffocate their internal injuries.
Xu Rongchan said: "This double-layered nine sons and fat powder are good things in Jinshou Palace, the Queen Mother specially gave it to Miss, Miss is not as good as at home when she goes out, she must dress up carefully, and her appearance must reflect the royal majesty everywhere." ”
I thought that the Queen Mother might be the murderer of my mother, so I felt chills, and I was reluctant to use what she gave, and said: "Aunt Rongchan, my father said that it is the most beautiful thing for a woman not to use powder." ”
Xu Rongchan's hand to my thrush trembled slightly, and said coldly: "Didn't Miss look in the mirror just now?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and closed my mouth in amusement.
The ancients said: Women are those who please themselves. Everyone in the world thinks that women wear makeup to please the man they love.
My second brother You Ziying has a different insight.
The so-called "pleasing oneself" is actually "pleasing oneself", which means that the person a woman should actually please the most is herself.
What is the most important thing in life? Happy.
What does a woman care about most? Face.
Therefore, the key to making a woman happy is to make her face bright and moving. However, the face is fixed, Nuwa Niangniang is often lazy when pinching clay figures, handsome men and beautiful women are like a little red in the green bushes, and the big fat in the vegetarian meal is eye-catching and salivating. But should the green leaves of the foil be green leaves? Should a vegetarian diet be tasteless? Not necessarily, everyone has their merits, see the previous article "The Essentials of Women's Praise" here. Everything in the world, even the fireflies on a summer night, should have their own little light.
At this time, makeup is particularly important: if the face is dark and yellow, put on more powder; If the face is too white, brush some red fat; If the lips are not red enough, apply lipstick; If the hair is messy, use hair oil to set it; If the complexion is not good, take Rejuvenating Powder; If you are wide and fat, you will drink slimming tea every day...... In short, thousands of women and thousands of styles are all in Luoying Colorful Pavilion.
That's right, Luoying Fun Pavilion is the name of Erge's first fat powder shop, and a line of words can be seen everywhere in the store: either born beautiful, or created beautiful.
His remarks caused an uproar in Biluo City, awakening the thirst for beauty in the hearts of many women, who felt that they were the most unique people, and that their heroes would be dressed in colorful armor and ride on sturdy white horses to pick them up, and before that, they would only be responsible for making themselves beautiful.
For a while, the women in Biluo City, from ninety-nine to just go, all of them were greased and powdered, and they didn't forget to apply lipstick even when they went out to buy vegetables and weeded on the ground, and the second brother made a lot of money, and soon opened a branch, and then walked out of Biluo City, and Luoying Colorful Pavilion bloomed everywhere in the whole Jing.
Ink Light Dye also received a huge share of the money because of the formula of Rejuvenating Powder and Slimming Tea. But the second brother has always done things without leakage, and spent a huge amount of money to buy out the formula from him, and announced to the whole country that Huanyan Powder and slimming tea are only available in Luoying Colorful Pavilion, and the others are all fake. Therefore, when Mo Qing Dye lost two huge sums of money and set up a stall on the street to sell Huanyan San, even if the price was three times lower than that of Luoying Colorful Pavilion, he was rarely interested, and he was sued by the shopkeeper of Luoying Colorful Pavilion to the government for selling fake medicines.
I sympathized with him and persuaded him to think about it, and if he researched any good medicine next time, don't be stupid and follow other people's ways, after all, intellectual property rights are very important.
I was very unconvinced, and asked the second brother why he named the store Luoying Colorful Pavilion, but it was not Luoying Qianmo Pavilion, which seemed to be not united at all within the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. The second brother said that everything had to be done step by step, and when he developed a new project, he set up a shop called Qianmo Traffic Building.
Today, the second brother's projects have covered jewelry and garments, spices and tea, restaurants and inns, etc., and I haven't seen him take the name of a shop that has a half-money relationship with me.
However, I was very generous when he gave money, and I didn't delve into it.
Xu Rongchan is really a makeup genius.
As far as my honor is in the second brother's shop, the most senior contouring shopkeeper may not dare to turn into a miracle, but she turned decay into magic, fiddling, and simply covered the purple lines and red spots on my face.
The appearance is back to the peak!
I was so happy that I couldn't turn around in the same place for eighteen circles, and said, "Aunt Rongchan, how did you do it?" What a miracle! ”
Sure enough, makeup is a must-have skill for every woman, and my second brother is really a business wizard!
Xu Rongchan didn't speak, her tense face softened a lot, Rongjuan grabbed me and said, "Miss Mo jumped, the powder on her face jumped off and appeared in its original form!" ”
I was busy, and the palace ladies took the opportunity to hurry up and change my clothes.
Xu Rongchan chose a lotus pink skirt for me, covered with an apricot short-sleeved shirt, and pulled a light-colored shawl printed with carp and lotus around her arms, combed it with a flying fairy bun, but added several steps to shake it on her head, and the whole person looked both youthful and solemn and calm.
I felt that it was troublesome to shake that step, and complained: "Aunt Rongchan, this jingle is inconvenient to walk." ”
"How can the young lady jingle when she walks well?" She gave me a fan embroidered with a childish cat slave and said, "Miss must not smile outside, if you really can't help but want to laugh, you will cover your face with a fan." ”
Me: "Oh......"
I don't know if this dress reflects the royal majesty, but when he passed by the front yard, the ink lightly dyed his hands and his medical skills were all gone, and he was overjoyed: "Ah Mo, the poison in your body has been cured?!" ”
I straightened my back and whispered: "Brother Yi, Ah Mo has gone to Guoziyuan, and Brother Yi is taking care of himself at home." ”
Mo Qingran was even more shocked: "Not good! This is a Gu worm on the brain, and it will gnaw **! ”
Royal majesty!? Do you understand the majesty?! Yes?!
I glared at him and walked straight out the door.
There is a saying that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.
I was locked up in the hospital for nearly a month, and I was about to go out, although I couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement when I was still being guarded, but because of the shaking of my head and the royal majesty that Xu Rongchan kept chattering, I walked for a quarter of an hour on this part of the road, and my back was sweating.
It's really more tiring than wearing a porcelain pillow.
Yulin Jun had already prepared the carriage, and when he saw us coming out, he was going to take a footstool, and when a few people saw me, they seemed to be stunned as if they had been clicked, Xu Rongchan glared at them a few times before coming back to his senses, and his face turned red.
And there are many women around, stretching their necks one by one, waiting for something.
I laughed wildly in my heart, yes, it was the familiar feeling of being noticed!
After a while, the third brother came out leisurely with the wind reprimand, a black hair tied up at will with a bamboo hairpin, his face was like a peach and apricot, his eyes were like cold stars, a crimson robe lined his skin was white and snowy, covered with a bright silk silver-white cardigan, and his thin waist was erected by a white jade belt, he yawned sleepily, and there was no sense of indecency.
I only heard a burst of screams around me who lowered their voices:
"Ahh Saburo, Saburo is out! ”
"Today's San Lang is still so jade tree in the wind, which makes the slave family's heart pound!"
"Didn't San Lang sleep well last night, how could he yawn, the slave family is so distressed!"
"San Lang is so suave when he yawns, no, no, the slave family is going to faint!"
……
The San Lang in their mouths should be my third brother, but I wasn't attracted by Miss Ben's beauty...... However, I look similar to the third brother, and if I praise him, I will praise me.
Thinking about it like this, the depression in my heart dissipated a lot.
The third brother walked up to me and said with a strange face: "Your face is actually good?" ”
I covered my face with a fan and said, "Aunt Rongchan put on my makeup, how about it?" Is it good-looking? ”
The third brother said: "It's amazing, Aunt Rongchan is really hard, I'm afraid it's been a night!" ”
Then he heard someone say, "Who is that woman?" ”
"I've never seen it! Why are you talking to Saburo?! ”
"The slave family has been waiting here for more than a month and doesn't dare to talk to San Lang, why should she talk to San Lang?!"
"If you look closely, she looks quite similar to San Lang, isn't she San Lang's sister?"
"Nonsense! Isn't Saburo's sister the ugly ......?"
"Shh......h Hugh is going to talk about Saburo's sister, he will be unhappy! ”
Sure enough, the third brother's complexion changed slightly, and he gently brushed his head.
The wind repelled me for a long time, and hissed happily, seeing that it was about to stick out its tongue and lick me, I flashed: "Rebuke the wind!" You're a horse, not a dog! Miss, I have easily regained my self-confidence, and I am ashamed to point to this face! ”
Xu Rongchan said: "Miss, say less, be cautious." ”
When I heard this, my face straightened, and my back straightened up.
The third brother approvingly: "There is a little bit of everyone's beautiful demeanor." ”
I didn't dare to turn around, and my eyes turned to him: "I am everyone's lady, and I am the only lady of the Dingyuan Hou family in the entire Jinglang." ”
The third brother said: "Don't make a sound, don't roll your eyes." ”
……
The carriage swayed along the way, and the steps on my head also swayed, I wanted to take the opportunity to make up for sleep, but Xu Rongchan kept saying this and that in my ear, which made me feel so irritable.
Xu Rongchan saw that I was impatient, and said seriously: "Miss Hugh should feel that slaves talk a lot, the women of the family in Beijing are proud to pass the Guoziyuan examination, many people are from this step to the sky, the virtuous concubine Niangniang and the current crown princess are all excellent in character and learning, and they were selected to enter the royal family." ”
As soon as I heard the word Concubine Xian, I felt uncomfortable: "Haven't I already given marriage to His Royal Highness King Yu now, so I don't need to learn!" ”
Xu Rongchan hated that iron could not become steel: "The princesses of other people's families are knowledgeable, how will the young lady communicate with them in the future, and how to raise fish in the domineering shopkeeper?" ”
"What's wrong with fish farming?" I said indignantly, "Three hundred and sixty lines are the champions, and there are many ways to raise fish!" ”
Xu Rongchan took a deep breath, there were words in her mouth, and when she listened carefully, she was actually reciting the "Prajna Heart Sutra".
The world is quiet, and I can finally squint for a while.
I don't know how long it took, the carriage stopped, and the third brother knocked on the window lattice: "Ah Mo, get off." ”
I held the shelf again, and was slowly swallowed by Xu Rongchan and got out of the car.
Looking up, I saw the three words "Guoziyuan" written on the tall and simple archway, which was the handwriting of the first emperor of Jinglang, which was really:
The pen goes back to the sun and the moon, and the words move forward.
The clouds under the eaves are absolutely light, and the magpie shadow between the beams is turned.
There are three doors on the left, middle and right under the card door, the middle is the main gate, which is the door where the saint and the masters walk, the left is the door, which is the door for men to enter the school, and the men's school is also on the left side; On the right is the lower gate, which is the door for the girls to enter the school, and the school is on the right.
It is the time when the students enter the school, the horses and carriages in front of the door, people come and go, bustling, and it is not lively.
"How does it feel?"
I exclaimed, "That's a lot of people! ”
Hey? Didn't the third brother ask me?
I turned around and saw An Chengyan standing beside me, he was wearing a dark hat, a scarlet round-necked robe, a scarlet round-necked robe, a scarlet shirt around his waist, and a light smile on his jade face, which was really fresh and handsome.
From time to time, people hurried by, looking back at the three of us, with admiration in their eyes.
I heard a man whispering:
"Whose lady is that?"
"I've never seen it, isn't Mo a new student?"
"How come, this year's women's examination will be over in February."
"With her is the young master of the You family? How did these two people come to resemble each other? ”
"Isn't that His Royal Highness King Yu?"
"These three people are really pleasing to the eye and dazzling!"
"The beauty is empty, and the fragrance is ...... for"
"The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance," I saw someone come forward and said: "This young lady is very familiar, I don't know where she lives, but there is a marriage match?" ”
Hehe, isn't that familiar......
The third brother glanced at him: "Jiang Duo, your skin is itchy again?" ”
An Chengyan beckoned to a few people with Jiang Duo, smiling proudly: "Come on, come on, come here, come to see the princess of this king." ”
Jiang Duo looked incredulous, and after seeing that it was really me, he ran away.
As he ran, he shouted: "It's a sperm!" It's a refinement! The ugly monster has become a vixen! ”
