Volume 2 The Court Chapter 13 The Spirit Snake Bun and Peach Blossom Makeup
Bei Juese glanced at Luo Guiren's dresser, opened the two-layer square black head box, picked up a cow bone comb on the upper floor, stood behind her and began to gently comb her messy hair. After combing the messy hair on one end, Bei Juese began to coil his hair, only to see that he skillfully parted Luo Guiren's hair into several strands, circled or twisted it layer by layer, and then fixed the hair one by one with a hairpin or hairpin. In a moment, Luo Guiren's messy hair was combed into a chic and flowing bun like a coiled dragon swimming between the hair.
Although the bun is good, it is a fly in the ointment when paired with Luo Guiren's sickly haggard face. Bei Juese moved the three-layer fat powder box on the dresser to the front and opened them one by one, and the white lead powder, rouge powder, rouge cream, and eyebrows of the thrush were all available in the box, and the rouge had many different colors.
Bei Juese rolled up his sleeves and first painted a faint layer of white for Luo Guiren? powder, then select a box of rouge cream, use the silver hairpin in the fat powder box to pick out a little bit in the palm of your hand and mix it evenly, pat it on both sides of her cheeks, and then pick a little lip grease and apply it evenly to her lips. After applying rouge, he carefully painted the color on Luo Guiren's slender curved willow eyebrows with eyebrows. Bei Juese's makeup techniques are very skilled, and his makeup skills are also superb, and because of this, his makeup speed is also amazingly fast. It didn't take long for him to finish his makeup.
"Alright." Bei Juese put Mei Dai back in the fat powder box, and then held the bronze mirror in front of Luo Guiren.
When Luo Guiren saw himself in the bronze mirror, his dull eyes showed brilliance, and Mu Ran's face also showed a smile of surprise. Although Bei Juese gave her light makeup, it could completely cover her original haggard face. The thin layer of rouge applied to that pale and sickly face can make the whole face look very natural red and pink, which not only makes people look energetic, but also makes the neck look particularly white and tender; The delicate red but uneye-catching lip grease drew a beautiful arc on her little mouth, making her bloodless lips plump and moist; The eyebrows are her original eyebrows, but after the careful painting of the North Beauty, the same eyebrows show a different style.
Luo Guiren reached out to the bronze mirror in disbelief, pointed to the person in the mirror and asked, "Is this really me?" ”
Bei Juese nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it is!" Niangniang is already good-looking, as long as she dresses up a little, she can be bright and beautiful. "In the past, when the master was applying makeup, he always forced Bei Juese, who was watching and learning makeup skills, to say some praise words that violated his conscience. Under the coercion of the West, even if Bei Juese did not learn to lie and pat on the back, he still learned some words to praise women, especially women with makeup.
Luo Guiren took the bronze mirror in Bei Juese's hand, looked at the mirror with great appreciation, looked at the beauty who seemed to be reborn, touched the bun on the top of her head for a while, turned her face left and right for a while, and asked after a while: "Is such a special and unearthly bun famous?" ”
Bei Juese replied: "Niangniang, this is one of the styles of the 'Spirit Snake Bun'. The snake bun is said to have been created by Zhen Mi, the empress of Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi. Legend has it that whenever Empress Zhen was dressing up, a green spirit snake appeared in front of her showing a variety of different shapes, and the bun that Empress Zhen combed out according to the shape of the spirit snake would always make her beautiful face more charming, making the Son of Heaven infatuated with her. ”
Luo Guiren looked up at Bei Jue and asked: "The Empress Zhen you are talking about, is it the prototype of the Luo Shen who made Cao Zhi obsessed with Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu"?" ”
Bei Jue Se nodded.
Luo Guiren smiled and continued to ask, "Then what about the makeup you put on me?" What's the name? Are there any allusions? ”
Bei Juese said: "This is called 'peach blossom makeup', as for the allusion, I haven't heard of it." He only knew that this peach blossom makeup was one of the favorite light makeup of the previous master's Western failure. This is barely an allusion, right? However, such an allusion seems to be a bit abnormal, so it's better not to let Luo Guiren know.
Bei Juese's decayed, super-high-level combing and decorating skills easily recalled the sanity of the deranged Luo Guiren. She looked at herself in the mirror with joy, but, looking at it, the smile on her face gradually faded.
Putting down the bronze mirror in his hand, Luo Guiren frowned lightly, looked at the bright morning light outside the window and sighed, and said, "Women are those who please themselves." But who can I tolerate? Who will please me? ”
Bei Juese looked at Luo Guiren with a sad face, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he was afraid that saying the wrong thing would make her go crazy again, so he could only stand aside cautiously with his head down and remain silent.
Luo Guiren closed his eyes, sighed again, and said faintly: "It's none of your business, step down." ”
After coming out of Luo Guiren's house, he saw that the shallots, the little jasmine, and the three heroes of the Ruan family were all in the courtyard. Shallot also took a bottle of something similar to Jinchuang medicine and applied the rattan marks on Jasmine's arms. When they saw that Bei Juese had come out of the house so quickly, and that he still seemed intact, they all showed expressions of surprise.
Shallot was about to speak, but he heard Luo Guiren shouting in the house: "Little Jasmine! Xiao Nguyen! ”
Hearing the master's call, Xiao Jasmine and Ruan Dasan's two still red and swollen faces couldn't help but change color. They bowed their heads and walked in uneasily.
After the two entered, the door was closed. The others in the courtyard stared nervously at the closed door, keeping their ears open for movement.
Soon after, Little Jasmine and Ruan Dasan came out of the house. The Shallot and the Ruan brothers quickly pulled the two out of the courtyard, lowered their voices and asked with concern, "How is it?" Are you alright? ”
Ruan Dasan showed a relaxed smile and said, "It's okay, Niangniang, she has come to her senses." ”
"Thanks to Brother Xiaobei's help!" Xiao Jasmine took over and looked at Bei Jue, "Brother Xiaobei is really powerful, Niang Niang is very satisfied with his hair and makeup, so I will no longer embarrass me and the third brother!"
Shallot and Ruan Da Yi and Ruan Da Er cast a surprised look at Bei Jue Se who was standing behind them. Bei Juese sensed the strangeness in everyone's eyes, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
Ruan Dasan knelt down in front of Bei Juese, hugged his thighs, and said excitedly, tears and snot erupted: "Xiaobei, thank you for saving my life." Where I can be found in the future, just ask! That Ruan Dasan, while speaking, did not forget to wipe a few handfuls of tears and snot on the hem of his stunning clothes.
The other two Nguyen brothers also knelt down in front of him and said in unison, "Hero, please bow down to our brothers!" ”
Xiao Jasmine also came over and rubbed beside Bei Juese, raised her head, looked at him with a pair of bright eyes and said with gratitude: "Brother Xiaobei, thank you!" ”
Hey? It's like being worshipped. Bei Juese, who has always been bullied, molested, and has no status at all, really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of scene, only knows how to help the three Ruan brothers up.
Still, it feels good to be adored!
It's a pity that Bei Juese, who is surrounded by this kind of admired superiority, has not had time to revel a little, and was pulled back to the ruthless reality by the sentence "It's time to go to work".
This ruthless reality is: even if he is worshipped by a small palace maid and three eunuchs, he still won't change the humble status of the "toilet washing professional" in Beijuese, he still has to work, and he still can't change the vulnerable situation of being bullied in the agricultural yard.
Bei Juese, who was cruelly pulled back to reality, could only sigh secretly in his heart: Alas, the toilet, I'm here.
Reluctantly returned to his job and did his job. Pushing the cart past the painting pond that she would walk by every day, the princess Gong Jing still sat in the pavilion in the pool as usual and embroidered. Today she sat in a different position, not with her back to the edge of the pool, as usual, but with her face outward. Feeling a little strange, Bei Jue couldn't help but glance into the pavilion a few more times, but although the princess was sitting facing him, she still couldn't see her face clearly. Not only because of the distance away, but also because there was a palace maid standing in front of her who was waiting, blocking most of the view, and only the princess's fluttering clothes and the occasional black hair blown by the wind could be seen.
