Chapter 348: Love for vanity
"Okay, logarithm, rest assured that the clothes are guaranteed to be made for you," said Fei Lan, taking the silver to his waist.
Immediately, she smiled and pulled Lou Xiaojiao aside to chat.
"Xiaolou, you look so beautiful, you should dress up well and don't let Shaoguang down."
Hearing this, Lou Xiaojiao covered her mouth a little shyly and smiled, then nodded, "Sister Lan is right, I will definitely dress up myself." ”
After the two exchanged a few words, Lou Xiaojiao left the ready-to-wear shop complacently.
Along the way, she looked east and west, and after a while, she was attracted by a jewelry store.
Sister Lan said that a woman must dress up glamorously to live in vain.
She doesn't have the only hairpin now, so she has to buy some jewelry to dress up.
Just as she was thinking, she jumped towards the jewelry store, and when she entered the door, she looked high-spirited.
"Is the boss there? Take out your jewelry and show it to this girl. ”
When the owner of the jewelry store heard this, he immediately greeted him, and said with a warm face: "Girl, do you want hair accessories or necklaces and bracelets?" ”
"Hair accessories!"
While speaking, the owner of the jewelry store subconsciously looked at Lou Xiaojiao's clothes.
Dressed so shabby, still pretending to be a big head here?
The jewelry store owner's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, and then he turned around and took out a plate of ordinary beaded hairpins.
This thing is gaudy and vulgar, and it is most suitable for these poor and sour women who have no taste.
Sure enough, Lou Xiaojiao's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the colorful beaded hairpin.
She hurriedly reached out and took a gorgeous begonia-colored bead flower, and couldn't wait to gesture between her hair.
"Isn't that pretty?"
"Good-looking, the girl is naturally beautiful, and she looks good with any hairpin."
After saying that, the other women in the jewelry store couldn't stand it anymore and shook their heads.
"Such ugly things can be said to be good-looking, it seems that there are no good goods in this store!"
The woman muttered a few words and then brushed her sleeves and left.
Hearing this, Lou Xiaojiao spat at the woman's back with some resentment, "It's really visionless!" ”
The owner of the jewelry store also hurriedly echoed her, "That's it, there are many ugly people!" ”
After buying a beaded hairpin, Lou Xiaojiao's mind flashed the brightly dressed appearance of her little sisters, and her heart was down.
Why can't she have what others have?
Immediately, she gritted her teeth and chose another set of expensive rouge gouache and mouth grease, and then walked in the direction of home with satisfaction.
She was in a good mood along the way, her hands were always involuntarily stroking between her hair, and her face was full of happy smiles.
Because of her happiness, she walked very briskly, and her hair swayed with the movement of walking, looking at this back, she was really a green girl.
"Qingqing, what do you see I bought?" Xiao Lou passed by a courtyard and said to the young girl who was drying clothes in the yard, his tone was quite proud.
The girl named Qingqing had just dried her clothes, wiped her hands on them, and ran to Xiaolou.
"What did you buy? Show me. Qingqing walked quickly in front of her, with a wave of curiosity.
Xiao Lou opened the bag a little proudly, revealing the box with a faint fragrance inside, and the texture on the box looked very smooth, "This is my newly bought rouge water, you see, doesn't it smell good?" ”
As she spoke, she opened a box, and the pink paste was open in the air, fragrant, like a freshly picked gardenia, with a moist scent in the scent.
"God," Qingqing looked at this rouge in surprise, smelling the refreshing aroma, and her tone was envious and excited, "So much rouge, it must cost a lot of money." ”
Xiao Lou enjoyed the envious eyes of his sisters, his tone was slightly raised, revealing a sense of complacency, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up: "Actually, it's okay, it's okay." ”
"How do you have so much money to buy rouge?"
Qingqing leaned her face closer to rouge and looked at the moist paste, although her expression was still envious, but her tone was a little suspicious.
Xiao Lou's originally smug eyes flashed a hint of awkwardness, she closed the lid on, and tried her best to suppress the unnaturalness in her heart.
"My father gave it to me."
"Wow", Qingqing's eyes looked even more envious, "Your father and mother are so good to you." ”
"Who's dad and mother are good to whom?" A woman's voice suddenly interjected, Qingqing hurriedly turned her head over, with a coquettish smile on her face, "Mother, I'm talking to Xiaolou about the rouge she just bought." ”
The woman nodded and turned her eyes to Xiao Lou, but she didn't look at Qingqing's softness, she said in a somewhat cold tone: "Xiao Lou, stay and have a meal." ”
Xiao Lou shook his head, the unnaturalness in his expression was concealed, and he looked a little arrogant.
Is this an eviction order?
Xiao Lou was a little displeased, but he just replied without being salty.
"No, my father and mother are still waiting for me at home, so I won't eat here. Auntie, Qingqing, I'll go first. ”
She turned around and walked away as she spoke, deliberately flickering the hairpin in her hair as she left.
Qingqing looked at her back as she walked, and the envy in her eyes hadn't had time to end.
Her mother frowned and poked her head, "What do you see?" ”
Qingqing lowered her head a little embarrassed, and rubbed the rough hem of her clothes with one hand.
"Mother, Xiaolou has such a good-looking rouge, I want it too." Lingdu eBook
"Qingqing, you also know the conditions of our family, what do you think Xiaolou will eat this month if we buy the things that Xiaolou took out?"
Qing Qingniang's face changed when she heard her request, and her tone was slightly dull, quite stern.
Qingqing lowered her head a little frustratedly, her mouth pouted, she was very unhappy, and she didn't say anything.
She just stood there, looking very lonely.
"No matter how much those things matter, they will cost more than a dozen taels of silver, Qingqing, just when you see her take out the things, why don't you want to think about how much those things cost?"
Qingqingniang touched her head, looked at Qingqing very seriously, took her by the hand, and walked to the back room.
"Their family is not rich, worse than ours, I'm afraid that the money to buy things comes from an unknown source, so what is there to envy such an unknown source?"
Qingqingniang looked at Qingqing's expression and moved, and continued: "Qingqing, you are a girl, you have to learn to resist these temptations, the next time you encounter this kind of thing, you have to learn to think deeper, beautiful is beautiful, but you have to do what you can, do you understand?" ”
Qingqing thought very seriously, and after a while, she said "um", and the unhappiness in her eyes gradually dissipated.
……
When Xiaolou returned home, her parents were doing farm work outside and had not yet returned home.
The furnishings in the room were very simple, a table, a few benches, and even the cabinets were empty.
She looked around the room with some disgust, and it was obviously the same decoration as when she went out.
This is the scene on the four walls of the house, how to look at it makes her feel shabby.
She snorted a little unhappily, biting her lip, her expression full of unwillingness.
She murmured in a low voice of pain: "Why was I born in such a family? ”
If she hadn't been born in such a family, how could she have worked hard for a cheongsam? How can there be so few pieces of rouge gouache?
The bag in her hand was casually placed on the table, and the slight sound of the bag touching the table made her unwillingly get out.
Looking at the rouge in the bag, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
At least, she also bought the rouge she had been wanting for a long time......
She took Rouge to the mirror and looked at the girl with clear eyebrows in the mirror.
In the mirror, her clean skin and softly curved side face were revealed.
She reached out and swiped her slender fingers lightly across her face.
Her red lips opened lightly, and her small mouth opened and closed, quite emotional.
This face will look good if you dress it well.
The fat powder in the box is opened, and the various colors of the paste are moistened.
Xiaolou drew his eyebrows, painted his lips, rubbed rouge, and after a few movements, he saw that the woman in the mirror looked beautiful, and the corners of her eyes revealed a bit of style.
Only then did she chuckle out loud from the bottom of her heart, and geometric joy appeared in her eyes.
"It's beautiful!"
Standing up and turning around, she imagined that she was wearing a beautiful cheongsam, and the expression on her face was even more pleasant for a moment.
When the simple environment in front of her clearly broke into her mind, her expression suddenly changed, and her face was once again covered with loneliness.
This simple environment and this simple family background made her feel like a basin of cold water splashed down, and she returned to the same place in an instant.
She is also a beautiful woman!
Why do people have a lot of money, and there are servants to follow them when they go out?
And she can only stay here, eating clear soup and vegetarian dishes?
The deep unhappiness in Xiao Lou's heart surged up again, even worse than before.
The face with heavy makeup is full of outstanding demeanor, which does not match this simple living room in the slightest.
She walked out the door, and there was a rudimentary chicken pen outside, which smelled of.
The uncomfortable look on Xiao Lou's face was even heavier, and his eyes were quite lonely.
Suddenly, just when she was born in disgust, the sound of Lang Lang reading came from next door, "Qingqing Zijin, you have my heart..."
Xiao Lou's face instantly lost his previous unhappiness, and a touch of shyness and timidity climbed onto his face.
"Will that bookkeeper do the same when he was studying?" She muttered in a low voice, her eyes full of longing.
Xiao Lou's thoughts suddenly flew to Gu Xiuyuan, the bookkeeper in Shen Ji's restaurant, who was always sitting, with a flat face, and was seriously calculating.
Thinking about his every move, thinking about his smile and thoughts.
So what kind of girl does a handsome person have to be to be worthy of him?
Xiao Lou was thinking about the answer in her heart, and when a wind blew, she sighed a little dejectedly.
"It must be a beautiful and gentle beauty."
A gentle and beautiful beauty? Xiao Lou's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heartbeat, which had been slow, thumped.
That's right!
Since she is a gentle and beautiful beauty, isn't she just one?
Dressed up a little, he is also a lovely person, and his own temperament has not had too much conflict with people.
The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more excited she became, except for her family background, what was wrong with her? In that case, does it mean that she may also make him tempted?
Once the idea takes root, it will sprout, and Lou Xiaojiao's green silk is spreading.
