Chapter 18: Lipstick

"Crazy girl!"

Guan Hua bolted the door, gritted his teeth and reprimanded Guan Xiaoduo in a low voice: "Look at your dress, where is there a little quiet appearance that a girl should have?" ”

Guan Xiaoduo went back to her room, took off her protective gear and dusty clothes, and said to Guan Hua in the courtyard through the door: "Who said that girls should be quiet?" ”

Guan Hua moved the dining table to the old locust tree in the courtyard with a straight face, put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and said, "It's okay if it's not quiet!" It's so crazy! Do you know what people call you behind their backs? - Wicked girl! ”

"I obviously only hear others call me Duo Ye."

Guan Hua gave her a blank look: "What kind of good words do you really think this is?" ”

"Why isn't it a good word?"

After a while, Guan Xiaoduo, who had changed her clothes, came out of the house with her dirty clothes and threw them into the big wooden basin next to her: "What's wrong with the wicked girl?" Those who are gentle, obedient, virtuous, and virtuous, don't they all marry into their in-laws' families early, and serve people obediently? I was not born to be a husband and a child, and I have no intention of becoming a memorial arch master of three from four virtues! Evil girls are evil girls, Lao Tzu is willing! I wish I could be a master for the rest of my life! What a prestige! ”

Guan Hua was so angry when he heard this, he stood up angrily, but pointed to the pile of dirty clothes and said angrily: "How many times have you said it!" The inner and outer clothes should be separated, and the dark and light colors should also be separated, and they will be dyed when washed together! Also, your horse clip is cowhide and can't be washed, so you have to take it out and wash it again! Please keep a long memory! ”

"Oh."

Guan Xiaoduo had to squat down obediently and reclassify.

Guan Hua had the upper hand in momentum and continued to count her: "I don't know how to do laundry and cooking, I know how to play crazy all day long!" You really have nothing to do but look good! ”

"Hey?"

When Guan Xiaoduo heard this, he crossed his waist and just wanted to go back, but he scolded and laughed: "I really can't answer your words!" ”

Guan Hua kept a straight face, and accepted it when he saw it: "Then shut up and come over for dinner!" ”

Guan Xiaoduo agreed, and looked at the table: two large bowls of steaming fried noodles, a plate of shallots mixed with tofu, and a stack of pancakes.

"Whoever marries you in the future will be called unlucky! Eat the same thing every day! It's boring and boring! ”

Guan Xiaoduo sat down, picked up the bowl and complained again.

Guan Hua sighed helplessly: "Hey, don't pick on things if you don't do it yourself!" I will be limited, you are too vegetarian to fry a green vegetable, just these two are the best, you are too tired to eat every day, it is too difficult to serve! ”

Guan Xiaoduo knocked on the table seriously: "Guan Dahuazi, how can you progress without working hard?" Are you a bit of a good candidate? Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating - every day with you either vegetarian or fried noodles, who can be happy? It's not that I'm talking about you, so unvirtuous, be careful that you can't get a wife! ”

"I worry about you?"

Guan Hua gave her a blank look: "Wait, is the person who sent you back just now the new owner who drank and ate barbecue with you in the backyard yesterday?" ”

"That's right! His name is Tie Hanhan, and the barbecue he makes is delicious. ”

"You're all right?"

The topic changed a little violently, Guan Xiaoduo was caught off guard, and accidentally choked a noodle into her nose. coughed violently, and Guan Xiaoduo choked on tears. She coughed and ran to the kitchen, took a few sips of the teapot, and coughed for a long time before sitting back down with a red face.

Guan Hua looked at her coldly and tossed for a long time: "...... That's right? ”

Guan Xiaoduo glared at him; "Are you suffering from an occupational disease?"

Guan Hua snorted: "Don't try to hide it from me. The way he looked at you, I knew there must be something wrong with the two of you. ”

"Not really!"

Although he denied it, Guan Xiaoduo unconsciously quietly raised the corners of her mouth when she thought of being alone with him.

Guan Hua immediately pointed to her shy expression and said, "Take a mirror and take a look!" Look at your stinky virtue with a peach blossom smile on your face, and you still say it's nothing?! What a liar! ”

Everyone in the yamen knew that Guan Hua was a good hand at interrogating prisoners, and Guan Xiaoduo decided not to answer, and lowered his head to concentrate on eating noodles.

Guan Hua pointed to the dowry in the courtyard with chopsticks: "So, is the second young master of the Li family completely out of play?" ”

"It didn't work."

Guan Hua couldn't help frowning: "If this family business is not successful, it will not be appropriate to return the dowry when you go back and return it." It's just that you are going to make a moth at this juncture, I'm afraid that the second ancestor will definitely turn his face if he knows about it, and then come to find his bad luck and make the neighbors uneasy. He's a newcomer to the countryside, where can he fight the Li family? It is clear that you will suffer. ”

Guan Xiaoduo was also stunned when she heard this: Think about it, Tie Hanhan is alone, if he offends this evil force, things are indeed a bit troublesome.

Guan Hua spread his hands: "You have also seen this bit of combat power at the entrance of our yamen, and our ability is indeed limited." Are you going to save some face for these bullies? ”

As soon as he said this, Guan Xiaoduo couldn't help but be a little worried.

Guan Hua continued: "So, even if you want to get along with the foreigner next door, take it slowly!" Let's talk about it when this is over! Why do you want to die in the limelight? ”

Guan Xiaoduo thought about it carefully, felt that there was some truth, and nodded.

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

Those thugs don't know if it was because she had a long memory yesterday, or if they went back and were scolded by their masters, they knocked on the door early this morning to check in, and confirmed that she stayed at home honestly before continuing to squat at the door, still talking and laughing in Ganjingzi Hutong.

There was no figure on the street as if martial law had been lifted, and the door of the Tzu Chi Tang Pharmacy was open.

Although there should be no business for the time being, Guan Xiaoduo still went to work on time as usual, sitting at the Eight Immortals table in front of the gate in the pharmacy and fiddling with the fresh things in her toolbox, while Tie Han sat behind the counter and concentrated on studying her fairy car.

The two of them were busy with their own business, neither of them spoke, and the room was silent.

There was a wooden box in front of Guan Xiaoduo, and there were some miscellaneous gadgets in it. The various colors of carmine pink balm beeswax are arranged in a row according to the category, and she first weighs the red powder with a stick, then notes it on the side of the straw paper with charcoal, then mixes the various ingredients, heats them on a small stove, and finally pours them into a specific mold.

Her expression is attentive and meticulous in every detail.

On the three poles of the day, the alley is always very clean, less lively in the past, which makes people feel very unaccustomed.

At this time, I saw Guan Hua, who was wearing a fast catcher uniform, running panting, and first yelled at the thugs outside the door: "Get out of the way!" ”

The two men in the room looked up at him almost at the same time.

Guan Hua drove the thugs blocking the door, reluctantly squeezed in from the crowd, closed the door with his hand, and said to the two: "Anyway, there is no business, it is better to close the door!" ”

Guan Xiaoduo asked, "Why did you come back?" ”

Guan Hua picked up the teapot on the table and took a big sip: "Fang Cai Niang asked someone to come to the yamen to bring a message, saying that I will come back at noon today, and I will come to tell you in advance." ”

"Oh, got it." Guan Xiaoduo answered, lowered her head and continued to busy with her business.

Guan Hua glanced around the room and saw that the two were far away, so his heart settled down. He took a look at Tie Han, and said in a stiff tone: "With such a group of grandsons guarding the door for you, who would dare to come and buy medicine?" It's better to close the business early, the safety of people and animals is the most important! ”

Tie Han let out an ignorant 'oh' with an ignorant expression, and as soon as he stood up, he heard Guan Hua say "bolt the door" and turned around and went out again.

Tie Han stepped forward to close the door according to what he said, and heard Guan Hua yelling at the thugs outside a few more times, and then he scolded and left.

Guan Xiaoduo said without raising his head: "Open the window, it's dark in the room." ”

Tie Han agreed and did so.

It's been a morning, Guan Xiaoduo has always focused on the work in hand, and she doesn't know what she is doing. He came to her with some curiosity, and saw that she was carefully taking out the red things from the mold one by one with bamboo clips, rolling them into wax paper, wrapping them into long strips the thickness of fingers, sealing them, and finally putting them into a delicate little wooden box.

Tie Han couldn't help but be curious: "What is this?" ”

"Lipstick."

The thing smelled very sweet, exuding the aroma of beeswax and flowers, Tie Han guessed that it was probably something used by women, and guessed, "Is it lipstick?" ”

"Almost."

Guan Xiaoduo saw that he was interested, so he picked up a small white porcelain bottle in front of him and shook it in front of him: "The lipstick balm that can be bought on the market is almost like this." ”

Tie Han glanced at it: the color was bright red paste, exuding a rich aroma.

Then, I saw her stretch out a finger and dip it a little, lightly touch it on her lips, and sip it again, the original shallow cherry lips were stained with bright colors, like a ripe cherry. Peach, it's eye-catching:

"Is it pretty?"

"Good, good-looking."

Tie Han was stunned by the question, nodded, and replied mechanically in his mouth. In my mind, I couldn't help but think of her sweet lips again. Soft touch, entwined between lips and teeth. Mian is still fresh in people's minds.

Guan Xiaoduo smiled sweetly, reached out to take a piece of paper to wipe it, and the beautiful color immediately transferred from her lips to the pale yellow paper: "It's good-looking, but it's easy to fade, it's gone if you rub it casually, and it's very expensive!" Touch-ups are also particularly troublesome, and it's not easy to carry. ”

She picked up a lipstick she had just made, wrapped it casually in wax paper, revealing a bright red the size of her fingertips, and shook it in front of him:

"I made this by mixing red powder with canola oil and adding beeswax to shape it. Moisturizing, moisturizing, non-greasy, not easy to fade and easy to carry. ”

As she spoke, she tapped the lipstick twice on her lips. Unlike the heavily colored lipstick just now, this time there is only a faint layer of peach: "This is my new color." Apply a thin layer to reveal the complexion, the nude finish is full, refreshing and brightens the complexion. ”

The words were too professional, and Tie Han didn't understand them very well, so he just nodded mechanically.

She repeated it in the mirror, and the light pink on her lips gradually deepened, and the color became fuller and brighter: "When you apply thick makeup, you don't have to worry about pulling out the water, and it can make your lips more three-dimensional and richer." ”

Tie Han didn't understand this, he just thought it was good-looking. Lips with elaborate makeup. The petals appear pure and agile when they are light, and they are very attractive when they are bright. People, no matter what, are good-looking.

She took the piece of paper again and rubbed it lightly on her lips, but this time it only stained a faint layer of red, and her lips were still brightly colored: "Look, it basically doesn't fade, right?" ”

Tie Han was slightly surprised, and nodded again in agreement.

She smiled mysteriously: "There are even more powerful ones." ”
