At dusk, the housekeeper Lian Jin came over and said: "The good day for the portraits of the two young ladies is set for tomorrow afternoon, and the famous Mr. Danqing in the capital is invited, and the other wife in order to ask for a lottery, invited the bride in Beijing to put on new makeup, and Ming'er dressed up the two young ladies." ”

The next morning, Hongfu and Lurong were busy. Although it was just a portrait, Mrs. solemnly invited Cai Niang, a famous fat powder shop in Beijing, to dress up Wanyun and Wanying.

Powder, rouge, eyebrows, lips. The ordinary rouge gouache through Cai Niang's hand seems to have become the fairy dew in the Tuas bottle. Wan Ying looked at it and thought stupidly: It is the quality of the willow that is completely stained, and it has also turned into a fairy.

Commonly used pearl powder on weekdays, Cai Niang slender hand, pretty face immediately like fat like jade, Cai Niang said: "Pearl powder is smooth, not easy to apply evenly, so after the powder, you have to use your fingers to pat back and forth several times to push finely, before you can carry it." Rose powder can take advantage of the good color, but it is easy to fall, and with a little lead, it can last longer. ”

After the color girl was painted, I saw that it was really as smooth and delicate as the polishing of jade, and I couldn't help but admire that the pearl powder on weekdays was actually tarnished in vain.

Rouge is naturally the delicate color of peach blossoms in spring. When the thrush makeup was made-up, Cai Niang said: "Your Majesty is looking for good flowers in the world, and the moon eyebrows and clouds are choosing people." Miss is naturally the best in the house of the new moon eyebrows. I knew what she meant, but because she had the bearing of a young lady, she was shy and silent. I can't help but blush my cheeks. Seeing this, Cai Niang smiled heartily and did not say anything.

Lu Rong was on the side, not aware of my shyness, and asked Cai Niang with envy: "I heard that the eldest lady often enters the palace to put makeup on the mothers?" Really? ”

Cai Niang lit a touch of rose dew and gently smeared it on the inside of my lips with a goose feather brush, and then picked the color out with a brush, and said: "The person who is a confidant dies, and the woman is the one who pleases herself." The lady in the palace is also a woman, isn't it the top priority to take care of Fandel? ”

Cai Niang said as she changed the topic and whispered to Wanying in the mirror: "Dotting your lips, Miss is the best." The slave family will make decisions for the young lady. ”

Wanying bowed her head slightly, agreeing with Cai Niang's proposal, this point of lip is really suitable for herself, and she secretly wrote down the description of the point of lip in her heart.

Lu Rong couldn't understand the meaning of Cai Niang's words, and asked again, "Really?" Ma'am. ”

Cai Niang frowned slightly, but for a moment she hid in her long bun, Wan Ying looked at herself in the mirror, and inadvertently caught Cai Niang's imperceptible displeasure.

"On weekdays, there is a summons." Cai Niang said casually.

"I heard that the spring concubine in the palace is young and beautiful, and she is used to the harem, but is this so?" Midori asked

Wanying originally looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and when she heard Lu Rong say this, she couldn't help but be shocked, where is this little girl hearsay, and here she is asking the bottom of it.

Cai Niang first glanced at Wan Ying, and saw that Wan Ying was also looking at her in the mirror, and then lowered her head and said: "The slave family has never worked for Concubine Chun, so I have never seen Niang Niang Yurong." ”

"Oh, according to what the eldest lady said, then the spring concubine is really a national color and heavenly fragrance, and there is no need for lead grease condensation?"

Cai Niang smiled lightly and asked Lu Rong: "Little girl, the slave family has never seen Concubine Chun." Although Cai Niang is smiling, the chill in her tone is clearly felt through the daisy eyebrow pencil.

Lu Rong didn't appreciate the cold rejection, and still leaned in front of her with a hot face and said: "The eldest lady has not dressed up the spring concubine, which means that the spring concubine can also fall into the country and the city without facing the sky?" Isn't that the truth? ”

Wanying wanted to drink the green melt, but she was afraid that it would backfire, so she didn't say anything.

"Which one is more beautiful than our young lady or the lady in the palace?" Lu Rong innocently asked such a thing directly.

"Lu Rong, don't talk nonsense." I can hear this and feel that it is extremely inappropriate, lest people enter the palace before they enter the palace, and right and wrong will be transmitted to the palace first. He rebuked her softly.

"When the young lady enters the palace, she is naturally the mother, they are all the same golden branches and jade leaves, and the country is beautiful and fragrant." Cai Niang often makes a living in the fat powder pile, so she naturally knows how to calm the competition between women.

As we all know, the beautiful girl of the Celestial Dynasty enters the palace, regardless of whether the mother's family is noble or not, the highest position in the palace for the first time is only Zhengwupinji. And she called Niangniang, which is an honorific title that can only be used by concubines above the third grade. Cai Niang's words, although they are not leaky, but they are also quite graceful. But when others lift, they have to remind themselves that if this Cai Niang is really a woman with a long tongue, then today's lift may be tomorrow's right and wrong.

was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he only heard Hongfu Xianwanying say: "The eldest lady often goes in and out of the palace, why did she forget, only concubines above the noble concubine can be called the mother, even if my young lady enters the palace, she is just a small master, are you right?" Hongfu's mind is really above the green Rong.

"It's actually the slave family who said it, the slave family really likes it when they see the young lady, and they don't care about any rules and regulations." That Cai Niang was originally an unintentional mistake, and she heard Hongfu say the mystery of this, so she said.

"Flying Immortal Moon Bun is now popular in the palace, I wonder if Miss is willing to give it a try?" Cai Niang said.

"If you are lucky enough to enter the palace in the future, you should follow suit, but Wanying is now the end of the mustard, and you can comb the ordinary bun."

"The slave family heard that the jade photo drawn by Miss today was submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, such a big event, combing the bun, and the lady was helpless." Cai Niang's words came from the heart, and she really thought about Wanying.

Wanying could also hear Cai Niang's heartfelt words. It's just that Wanying can't wait to have no such thing as entering the palace now, and she is willing to guard her mother and live like this for the rest of her life.

"Auntie doesn't know, our young lady has her own style of combing and falling hair." Hongfu was on the side, seeing what Wanying was thinking, so she said what Wanying couldn't say.

"In this way, the slave family is too worried." Cai Niang also pretended to be relieved.

Cai Niang is ingenious, and after a while, a loose and elegant bun will be sorted out. Wanying opened the jewelry box, inserted a hibiscus pattern blue jade step in front of it, suffixed with a jade handle gold thread red tassel, and hung a pair of silver silk hanging beads and jade pendants on both ears.

The clothes were selected according to Aunt Lin's wishes, wearing an ivory white cross-collared bamboo leaf pattern middle shirt, a water-colored moire Su brocade belt in the middle, a lotus-blue gauze woven long skirt, and a wide-sleeved shirt with blue water. No ornaments, no flashes.

Seeing this, Cai Niang just said: "The three generations of marquis of the Shi family, the master of the Shi family is a member of the three grades of the dynasty, and the young lady is so refined and refined, which shows that the adult's family style is simple." ”

After speaking, Hongfu handed over the Xie Yi that had been prepared a long time ago, and Cai Niang took it and thanked her.
