The girl's dressing table was particularly large, made of mahogany, carved workmanship, and placed on it three large makeup boxes. The bronze mirror standing on the dresser is not small, almost two feet in diameter. There is also a full-height bronze mirror standing next to it.

The girl sat down in front of the dresser, pointed to the three boxes, and said, "The rouge gouache is in the rightmost box, and you don't have to move the other two boxes, there are some precious things in them." ”

Su Jinyao knows that the value of the red card is high, and the things used are naturally good. It is estimated that the other two makeup boxes are jewelry and the like, and they must be expensive. Naturally, she wouldn't move, and she didn't have to do trouble.

Su Jinyao only moved the makeup box on the right forward, and then opened it to take a look. In fact, Su Jinyao is also in contact with this ancient cosmetics for the first time, but she is good at makeup. Not to mention a simple makeup, even if she is asked to change her disguise, she can draw another look of herself.

So after only a slight look, Su Jinyao roughly understood what the things in this makeup box were for. The small box, like a paste, should be lip gloss; The slightly larger box contains a pink lumpy, reddish one that is rouge, which is blush; There was also a round silver box, flattened, which was scented when opened, but it was a milky powder, and there was a small velvety puff inside; In addition, there are a few charcoal pencils, which are used to draw eyebrows.

I checked all these things, whether it was rouge or lipstick, there were several colors, and Su Jinyao had also looked at them one by one. Then he turned his head and carefully examined the girl's appearance.

To tell the truth, this girl is eighteen or nineteen years old, and she looks really good, but her face is not very good, and her skin is slightly dull. It probably has something to do with her days in the Qinglou.

However, there is no primer or concealer in this makeup box, so Su Jinyao can only follow the simplest steps to apply makeup to her.

But she didn't just take a few simple steps such as patting powder and applying rouge, but deliberately picked a little bit of rouge with her nails and put it in the incense powder, and then powdered the girl.

"Hey, what do you mean by mixing rouge in incense powder?" The girl thought it was strange and couldn't help but ask.

Su Jinyao said with a smile: "This powder is too white, it looks like there is more skin on the face, and it doesn't look good." Add a little pale pink, similar to your skin tone, sister. This can only look delicate on the skin, and it is white and red, isn't it very good-looking? ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao wiped it on her fingertips with charcoal, and then hit the charcoal on the sides of her nose and cheeks, creating the simplest shadow.

When Su Jinyao wiped the charcoal on the girl's face, she resisted slightly, and asked, "What is this for?" It was a thrush, but no one had ever wiped it on its nose. ”

"You'll know when you draw it, so that there are shadows on both sides and the bridge of the nose is higher. The shading of the cheeks can make the cheeks look smaller. And don't worry, I'm not going to paint you a big face. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she asked again, "Sister, do you have honey?" ”

"What do you want honey for?" The girl looked curious again, but looking at the two steps that Su Jinyao had just drawn for her in the mirror, it seemed that her face was really good, so she said, "Okay, I'll believe you once." I'll have someone bring you honey. ”

After saying that, the girl shouted to the door, and then a little girl came to answer. She instructed the little girl to fetch the honey, and then turned around and asked Su Jinyao, "Little girl, where are you?" Why haven't I seen you here before? ”

Su Jinyao took the opportunity to say: "Don't hide it from my sister, I'm just passing by." I'm not just here to put on makeup for my sisters, but to sell something. ”

"Huh? What are you selling? The girl pointed into the room and said, "My house is the best one in the Red Sleeves Workshop, although it is not a matter of asking for anything, but there are only the remaining daily things, and there is nothing missing." But tell me, what are you selling? ”

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "I can't say this now." When I put on my sister's makeup, if you are satisfied, in addition to giving a reward, also see if my thing is good, do you want to buy it. If you think it's good, don't think it's expensive. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao's betrayal, the girl smiled and said, "The little girl is really good at bluffing." I'd like to see what good things you have. Don't worry, I'm not short of silver, as long as I like it, I can afford it. ”

While he was talking, the little girl who had been told to get honey came back. Holding a white porcelain jar in his hand, he put it on the table and said, "Miss Ming, this is honey." Also, Qi Niang asked you what you were laughing at. ”

Su Jinyao knew that the red card was called "Miss Ming." ”

Miss Ming said, "Yo, Qi Niang is up?" She was more tired than us girls, so she got up at this time. ”

The little girl nodded, standing still, probably waiting for a reply.

Miss Ming pointed at Su Jinyao and said, "Isn't this a little girl, who is helping me put on makeup." When I talked to her, I laughed unconsciously. After speaking, he asked the little girl again: "Xiao Nan, do you think I look good with this makeup?" ”

"Beautiful." Xiao Nan nodded and said, "Miss Ming is already good-looking, but now this little face is pink and pink, and it looks a lot more gorgeous." ”

"Hey, you little girl has learned to say good things. Yours. After Miss Ming finished speaking, she took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and threw it over.

Su Jinyao glanced at it, and estimated that the piece of silver was about half a cent. This is equal to more than 20 dollars, just throw it casually, it can be seen that this Ming girl is indeed a red card, and she is quite generous.

The girl named Xiaonan quickly thanked her, and happily left with the silver. also said: "I'll give Qi Niang a reply, it means that the girl is putting on makeup." ”

"Well, go ahead. After a while, I asked Qi Niang to come over and have a look. After Miss Ming finished speaking, she asked Su Jinyao: "The honey was also brought, what do you want this for?" ”

Su Jinyao walked over and brought the jar with honey, and when she opened the lid, there was a sweet fragrance. I looked at the honey inside, the color was golden, with a strong osmanthus fragrance, it was really good honey.

Su Jinyao praised: "This osmanthus nectar is so good, I promise to make Miss Ming look better." ”

"What does my makeup have to do with osmanthus nectar?" Miss Ming felt more and more strange.

Su Jinyao smiled and took out a small silver spoon from the makeup box, which should be usually used to scoop incense powder or rouge. He dipped the tip of a spoon in some honey, and then said to Miss Ming, "Shut up." ”

"Huh? Oh. Miss Ming was stunned for a moment, and then closed her mouth.

Su Jinyao put the bit of honey on the tip of the spoon on Miss Ming's upper and lower lips. Then gently spread it with your fingertips, and then take out a box of gloss. I still dipped my fingertips in honey, and then dipped my lip gloss to reconcile it, and then smeared it on Miss Ming's lips.

After wiping the lip gloss, Su Jinyao said: "Okay, Miss Ming, take a look, isn't this better?" ”

Miss Ming pursed her lips slightly, feeling that her lips were moist and sweet. When I looked in the mirror again, I couldn't help but feel a flower bloom on my face. He looked up and said to Su Jinyao: "You little girl has so many doors, this mouthful of color blends honey, it's so good-looking." My lips seem to be ...... It's like honey, and it's not dry at all. ”

"Wait a minute, it's not alright. The last step is the most important. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she took out a charcoal pencil from the makeup box and drew eyebrows for Miss Ming.

Eyebrow painting is actually very particular, what kind of face shape, temperament, the height of the eyebrows and eyebrow peaks, the length of the eyebrows, and the curvature are all very particular.

Su Jinyao drew a pair of "flat eyebrows" for this Ming girl, the eyebrows, the peak and tail of the eyebrows are almost in a line, and the eyebrows appear slightly shorter as a whole. But instead, it highlighted Miss Ming's big and bright eyes. In addition, she was originally a small melon seed face, and when I look at it again this time, the whole person is beautiful with an indescribable elegance and ability.

In fact, a person's charm can also be drawn, and the makeup technique is different, and the temperament that comes out is also different.

Miss Ming looked in the mirror again, her face was still her own face, but her face was pink like a peach blossom in bloom; The eyes are bright and the eyebrows are small, but they feel more radiant; Even the nose, which is usually not very impressive, looks a little taller than usual.

"Little girl, what a clever hand you have." Miss Ming looked left and right in the mirror, and the smile on her face was like a flower. Then he took out a small piece of silver from his purse, handed it to Su Jinyao and said, "Take it, this is a reward for you." ”

Su Jinyao looked at the piece of silver in her hand, at least there was more than a penny. That's more than 120 copper plates. I really didn't expect that the road she thought of by chance would be opened for her.

Miss Ming said again: "Little girl, I am quite satisfied with this makeup. But you haven't taken out what you're going to sell yet. It's time to show me, right? ”

When Su Jinyao heard this, she hurriedly said, "Yes, this thing is exactly what the girl needs." You see, my bronze mirror is much better than yours. ”

Su Jinyao said, took out a bronze mirror from her baggage, and handed it to Miss Ming.

Miss Ming was still full of curiosity, but when she saw that what Su Jinyao handed to her was a bronze mirror, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Little girl, look at me, there is no shortage of mirrors in this room." There are two sides to my big mirror in that drawer. If you like it, I'll give it to you. I really don't lack this, I can't buy it. ”

Su Jinyao heard Miss Ming say this, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to say no, you haven't seen my mirror yet." Once you've seen it, you're guaranteed to buy it. ”

"See? What do you think? Isn't it just an ordinary bronze mirror? I have a bronze mirror with gemstones, and I don't think it's so pretty. Miss Ming said, and took a random photo of the bronze mirror.

After just taking a photo, he stopped talking. He frowned, raised his head in the mirror and looked at it. Then he looked up at Su Jinyao and asked, "Your mirror doesn't seem to be the same." ”

"Yes, my mirror can reflect the most beautiful appearance of Miss Ming." Su Jinyao said while pointing to the bronze mirror on the dresser and said, "This mirror is not bad, but the angle is wrong, and the person who reflects it is not so good-looking." In fact, the beauty of the Ming girl can only be reflected in the mirror that suits you. ”

In fact, this is the reason why Su Jinyao carefully chose the mirror. Ancient bronze mirrors were artificially polished and could not be absolutely horizontal. If there is a slight convex or concave mirror effect, the person who shines out will be slightly distorted. Of course, this deformation is almost negligible.

But Su Jinyao found that Miss Ming's facial features were exquisite, but her chin was slightly wider, so the mirror for her just had a little bit of face-closing effect. In this way, Miss Ming looks at herself from this mirror, of course, it looks better than the other mirrors. But the principle of it, Miss Ming must not know.

Miss Ming looked at the mirror in her hand two or three more times, and repeatedly compared it with the mirror on her dressing table. The person is still the same person, and the face is still her own face, but it is really the mirror that Su Jinyao gave her with a different effect, which makes her very good-looking, and her face is becoming more and more small and exquisite.

"Little girl, how do you sell this bronze mirror?" Miss Ming is obviously tempted, and she can't put it down with this mirror.

Women, of course, want to see their most beautiful side. Now that she is the most beautiful in this mirror, how can she let go.

Su Jinyao smiled, stretched out a small white hand, stretched out five fingers and shook it.

Miss Ming was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "You mean...... Five coins of silver? Obviously, this price surprised Miss Ming a little.

Because the price of copper mirrors on the market is obvious. The mirror that Su Jinyao gave her looked like something from an ordinary stall, that is, the price of two or three dollars of silver.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "It's five dollars of silver, no two prices." ”

"You're twice as expensive as the market." Although Miss Ming was surprised, she still didn't put down the bronze mirror in her hand, and kept shining it.

Su Jinyao didn't bargain, but said, "Miss Ming, think about it again, my bronze mirror is really something that no one else can buy." ”

Miss Ming was thinking about it, when she heard a sweet and greasy voice at the door: "Yo, Miss Ming got up early." Is this makeup all painted? I'll see. ”

When the voice came, so did the people, and it was a young woman in a purple brocade dress. Although this young woman is also in her thirties, she has a very good figure, with high breasts, thin waist, round hips, and a face that is not exquisite, but her eyes are very enchanting, and the tips of her eyes are slightly upturned, and she is a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes.

As soon as Miss Ming saw this young woman, she smiled and shouted, "Qi Niang is good." Then he looked up again and said, "Look, does the makeup I just painted look good?" It was this little girl who painted it. ”

"It's so pretty. What kind of color are these lips? How is it so moist? And with a sweet taste? If this is a bite for a man, wouldn't it praise you for the sweetness of the girl's mouth? Qi Niang said, glanced at Su Jinyao again, and asked, "This little girl will wear makeup?" Why haven't you seen it before? ”

Su Jinyao didn't want to make money by putting on makeup for these girls. Think about it, makeup and reward are less than a penny, but selling a mirror is a twist and turn to earn three dollars. Then he said: "Hui Qi Niang, I am actually selling mirrors, and it is normal that you have not seen me before." ”

When Qi Niang heard this, she smiled and said, "Haha, little girl, are you here to sell mirrors?" We have so many beautiful girls here, but there is no shortage of mirrors. ”

Su Jinyao didn't tell the difference, but just took out another mirror from her baggage, handed it to Qi Niang and said, "Qi Niang, my mirror is different from others, it can shine you very well." And there is a strange thing, your mirror only looks best on yourself, if you hold it in someone else's hands, it may not look so good. ”

"Is there really such an amazing thing?" This time, Miss Ming was also curious. urged Qi Niang to say: "You take a snapshot and take a look, and then give me your mirror to try." ”

Qi Niang felt curious and funny, so she picked up the mirror that Su Jinyao gave her and looked at it.

Under this photo, Qi Niang was stunned. Then he looked in the mirror that the lighting girl had placed on the dresser, and said, "Don't say it, it doesn't seem to be the same." But I can't tell where it's different. ”

After speaking, he handed the mirror to Miss Ming and said, "Let's try it instead." ”

This time the two changed mirrors, and Su Jinyao couldn't help laughing in her heart. Because Qi Niang and Miss Ming's faces are good, but on the contrary, Qi Niang is a little older, and her cheeks look thin and fleshless. The mirror Su Jinyao gave her could make her face look a little plumper, and she looked younger.

But if this mirror is in Miss Ming's hands, it will make her face appear plump, and it is simply incomparable to the previous mirror.

This is exactly the case, after the two of them changed the mirror, Miss Ming and Qi Niang glanced at each other and stopped talking.

In the end, it was Qi Niang who spoke first: "Little girl, what is the mystery of your mirror?" Or will you order some Taoism? I don't dare ask for such a crooked thing. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Qi Niang, Miss Ming, I don't know any Taoism or evil arts, it's just that I know a craftsman who makes mirrors and has a secret method." However, this secret method is only based on beauties, not demons, so you can use it with confidence. ”

Actually, demons and all that scare people. Qi Niang and Miss Ming also don't believe that a mirror is so evil. After listening to Su Jinyao, she was also relieved.

Miss Ming took back her mirror and said, "Okay, it's just five coins of silver, I bought it." ”

When Qi Niang heard that it was five dollars of silver, she smacked her lips and said: "It's just a little more expensive than the one on the market, so I'll buy one too." I've never seen this person look in the mirror. Maybe it's still a baby. ”

After speaking, both of them took out the silver and gave it to Su Jinyao.

This start was a tael of silver, and Su Jinyao couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. At least, the cost of buying mirrors was earned. This trip to the city was not in vain.

Qi Niang and Miss Ming were laughing here, and the lively movement attracted a few girls to watch at the door. There was a round-faced girl who came early, so naturally she heard it, so she called Su Jinyao and said, "Little girl, come here, give me a look at your mirror." ”
