Chapter Seventy-Three: Preparation

The ugly have their own ugly methods, but the beauty is about the same, there is still some truth in this, although Liu Xianglian and Lin Jin look different, but because they are born well, they are similar in bone physiognomy. As for the difference in skin appearance, it is not very difficult to solve, and one of the four major evil arts in Asia, makeup is recognized.

Although Lin Jin's makeup skills did not reach the point of being magical, it was still no problem to say that she was superb, so she looked at herself in front of the glass mirror, and then looked at Liu Xianglian's face, trying to find common ground on their faces, through the shape of the eyebrows, the shape of the lips, the curvature of the tail of the eyes, the shape of the eyes, and the shade of the blush,...... In terms of makeup, try to achieve skin resemblance.

After beating the nose shadow on Liu Xianglian's face, Lin Jin looked left and right, picked up the mirror and looked at herself, and greeted Mama Tao on the side, "Mama, look at it, are the two of us very similar now?" ”

Mama Tao looked at Lin Jin and Liu Xianglian, who were standing side by side in front of her, and gave a very objective evaluation: "Well, after the uncle finished giving Xiao Liu a beating like this, the two of you do look six or seven points alike, and those who don't know think that you are blood relatives." It's just like a return image, and it looks fierce, and it may be confusing, but as long as you look at it a little closely, you can tell the difference, so after all, it's still two different people. ”

Lin Jin looked at the clothes and hairstyles on her and Liu Xianglian's bodies, and felt that if they were replaced with exactly the same, they should be able to increase the similarity by two points. In this case, go to the place in Gusu where no one knows her, and let Liu Xianglian replace her, as long as you are careful in your words and deeds, you can almost pass the test.

Liu Xianglian frowned, staring at the bottles and cans that Lin Jin used to make up, and said with a displeased expression: "What, when I go back to the exam for you, do you still have to put on makeup every day?" ”

Lin Jin put away part of the things and left some of them for Liu Xianglian, and replied: "Not only do you have to put on makeup during the exam, but you have to put on makeup every day since the day we went to Gusu." These things are left for you, from now on, you have to learn the technique of makeup, go back to Gusu, when you touch up makeup outside, you have to do it yourself, you can't fake others. I don't expect you to be at my level, but you have to get a rough idea. ”

Although Liu Xianglian loves to play as an adult, and he still plays the role of Dan, it does not mean that as a man, he likes makeup. Besides, that's all after he became an adult, at present, Lin Jin doesn't see that he has any special love for opera, so it is guessed that he loves opera when he becomes an adult, not necessarily because he really likes it, it is probably a vent of dissatisfaction with life, because he is unable to resist fate, so he gives up on himself.

Liu Xianglian looked at the pile of things that Lin Jin left for him to learn makeup, pursed her lips, and protested: "At the beginning, we just agreed that I would take the imperial examination for you, but we didn't say that I would have to put on makeup all day." ”

Lin Jin turned his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "What you said is really fresh enough. The two of us look different, and since I want to use you, I naturally have to find a way to make the two of us look a little similar, so that it will be easy to cheat. Therefore, makeup is indispensable as one of the means to change one's appearance. Otherwise, don't you think that you just went to Gusu with such a face like you and participated in the imperial examination for me, right? ”

Liu Xianglian didn't speak, but his silence already showed that he thought so.

Glancing at the women's clothes on Liu Xianglian's body, Lin Jin smiled and said, "Okay, don't be hypocritical here." In order to repay my kindness for saving you, you even wore women's clothes, pretending to be a woman for nearly a year, staying at home, seeing that the dawn is just around the corner, just put on makeup again; Besides, my makeup doesn't look like the kind of heavy color of singing, if you don't say it, you can't see it at all. You even pretend to be a woman, what else can't you get over in your heart?

Unless you don't want to do it for me, you're set to make up this makeup. Therefore, if you have the kung fu to compete with me, you might as well think of something else, for example, to further imitate my words and deeds, and make you more like me when pretending to be me; Or think about it, what are you going to do after I finish the imperial examination? Although I arranged for you to go to Luzon, you must always have a goal, you don't want to travel to Luzon, right? ”

Dropping these few words, Lin Jin ignored Liu Xianglian's reaction and took Mama Tao home. Before entering the gate, a little girl said that Lin Ruhai was looking for her, so Lin Jin asked Mama Tao to go back to Yuhua Pavilion by herself, and she went to Lin Ruhai's big study.

"Daddy, you're looking for me?" Lin Jin saw Lin Ruhai sitting on it, and after saluting him, he asked.

Lin Ruhai pointed to the stack of scrolls on the table and said, "This is the top three papers I have collected in the imperial examination papers in recent years, you can take it and take a look." ”

These test papers are the most needed for candidates, and when she heard this, Lin Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

Lin Ruhai held a bowl of tea, held the tea lid, and wiped the tea noodles for a while, and said after a long time: "Actually, with your current level of craftsmanship, I don't want you to participate in the imperial examination so early." But since you insist, I can't object, so you should exercise it, whether you pass the exam or not, don't care too much. ”

In fact, if there was a choice, Lin Jin didn't want to participate in the imperial examination so early, but who let things happen to be there. After such a village, it is not easy to find a wronged boss like Liu Xianglian who is easy to coax and handle.

"Although the county test will only start in February next year, but this year is the family festival, I am now an official, I can't go back to the clan to participate in the big festival, just right, you have to go back to Gusu to participate in next year's county test, so I thought it would be better for you to go back to Gusu this year, on the one hand, instead of me to participate in the family sacrifice, on the other hand, since you want to participate in the imperial examination, you have to communicate with the same year, go early, you can get to know more people."

Listening to Lin Ruhai's decision to let her return to Gusu early, Lin Jin had no objections, as for whether to make contacts as he said, it was a general, and the military order was not accepted.

Resigned from Lin Ruhai and returned to Yuhua Pavilion, Lin Jin saw a family letter written by Yuou on the table, hurriedly picked it up, opened it and took a look, and saw that it was written that the Xue family had entered Beijing, and couldn't help but be stunned, calculated the time, and estimated that the Xue family had indeed entered Beijing. Although Lin Jin did a lot of things in order to make Daiyu better integrate into the Jia family, after Baochai entered Jia's mansion, the wind still blew in the house to hold Baochai and step on Daiyu.

Lin Jin was not surprised by this.

Daiyu's temperament and identity are destined to be unable to mingle with the people of the Jia family like Baochai, besides, almost all of the subordinates of the Jia family are masters of seeing the wind and making the rudder, although in terms of relatives, Daiyu is naturally closer than Baochai, but Daiyu is a relative of the Jia family, and Baochai is the same as Mrs. Wang, with the blood of the Wang family, so the people of Jiafu quickly saw that Mrs. Wang was much closer to Baochai than Daiyu, and in addition, the Xue family would be a man, and often gave some small favors to buy people's hearts, so soon inside and outside the house, All of them are full of praise for Baochai.
