Chapter 4: The He Family

Although she was a little reluctant, Pei Baoer still went to He's house nervously, in the backyard of the county government.

Because, she is a small commoner, and she can't refuse the county magistrate at all. Who knows if Mrs. He will blow the pillow wind at that time, and what bad luck will happen to her small family.

Besides, she still owes Mrs. Wang a great favor, which really makes her unable to say no to Ai Ai's eyes in the double period. In particular, Mrs. Wang specially promised her that if she could do this well, she would be able to work flexibly at the silk shop, and she would be allowed to take Xiao Yan'er to work, and she would entertain guests in the shop outside, and the children would be placed in the warehouse in the inner courtyard, which would be the best of both worlds.

Pei Baoer racked her brains to think of a coping plan.

I heard that the big girl He was born very big, which caused Mrs. He to have a difficult birth, and since then her body has not been very good, and she will have a headache and brain fever when there is a storm. The old people say that children need to eat fat to feed, and they will naturally lose weight when they grow up. But this theorem does not apply to Miss Ho.

Although Miss He has a big name, she is Mrs. He's old daughter, and she is also the only delicate girl she was born to. Therefore, since she was a child, she was quite favored by her family, and where she could not bear to force her to diet and lose weight, she became fatter and fatter. When I was fat, I was fat, and when I grew up, I got fatter, according to the mouth of the mother-in-law on the street, it was a physique that would be fat when I drank water.

Miss He is fifteen years old this year, just in time. However, she hasn't been out for three or four years, maybe she is old, she knows that she loves beauty, and she is inferior to her size and appearance, so she is embarrassed to go out. Therefore, most people don't know what Miss He looks like now, and they only know one or two from the small chatter of the people in He Mansion.

Mrs. Wang told Pei Bao'er the bottom: "I have seen Miss He when she was a child, although she was a little fatter, but her facial features are still quite like Mrs. He, it's a pity that ......"

Mr. He's hometown is from a neighboring county, and he only came here to be an official a few years ago, and now this is the second appointment, and Mrs. Wang is from a neighboring county, so it is not uncommon to see Miss He's appearance when she was a child. Although Mrs. Wang married a rich man, she failed to get in touch with the county magistrate, and often walked around Hefu, so naturally she couldn't see the big girl He who grew up.

Pei Bao'er arrived at He's Mansion and first met Mrs. He, who was weak and willow-supporting, although she was a little sick and old, her eyebrows and eyes were also a little exquisite, and she must have been a beauty when she was young. Thinking like this, the big stone in her heart was half relaxed.

Then, Mrs. He asked the maidservant to invite the delicate Miss He to come out.

Pei Bao'er couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, this, this body is too burly!

It's not that she wears colored glasses to discriminate against fat people, the main thing is that the difference between the mother and daughter standing together is too obvious, and Miss He can top Mrs. He three!

In this era of underdeveloped productivity, the common people often starve to death, how can they raise such a "rich" daughter? Pei Baoer couldn't help but make up a picture of the scene of Miss He's delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and He County's order to collect people's fat and ointment for her beloved daughter to enjoy.

Although she reacted in time, her surprised appearance also fell into Mrs. He's eyes.

Mrs. He was a little unhappy in her heart, thinking that this little makeup lady really couldn't look at people's eyes, if it weren't for Mrs. Su praising her to the sky, she wouldn't want to have anything to do with these ninth-rate civilians who rely on their skills to eat.

Maybe it's because of the big difference in physique, and the mother and daughter are not very of the same heart.

Miss He, who is not tall and fat into a ball, is also a beauty-loving girl, and as soon as she saw Pei Baoer, she was attracted by the makeup on the other party's face.

I saw that her eyebrows flew into her sideburns, and her eye sockets didn't know what to paint, but they were glowing with a slight pearl under the sunlight, and the pair of apricot eyes looked extraordinarily bright, as if they were much bigger.

Miss He couldn't help but feel envious when she thought of the flesh on her face, and the little eyes that were squeezed into a slit by the meat.

"Sister, how do you draw these eyes? But with the powder? She stepped forward directly, took Pei Baoer's hand and asked, innocent and cute.

Mrs. He frowned when she heard this, how could her daughter be called a sister and sister to such a pariah, there were really no rules.

"Okay, Rou'er, don't pester Pei Niangzi to ask questions about the east and west." He turned to Pei Bao'er and asked lightly, "Before Pei Niangzi came, she must have known what I meant." I don't know, is Pei Niangzi sure to do it? ”

Although Pei Baoer is not a human spirit, she grew up in an orphanage since she was a child, and she has seen the warmth and coldness of the world, and she is still very good in terms of observing words and feelings. I couldn't see the faint contempt in the eyes of this county lady when she looked at her, and the dissatisfaction after seeing Miss He getting close to her.

She respectfully withdrew her hand and blessed Mrs. He.

"Madame's request to the slave family naturally knows, but I just want to ask Madame, does Madame want to treat the symptoms or the root cause?"

"What is the symptomatic cure? Could it be that Pei Niangzi will still be unable to disagree with the yellow technique? Mrs. He paused, suddenly frowned, glanced at the dazed Miss He, and asked, "What is the symptom?" What is the root cause? ”

Pei Baoer took out the makeup box she brought, and said in her mouth: "The method of treating the symptoms, the slave family can go to the inner room with the eldest girl to make up some makeup, and the lady can see it at a glance." ”

Mrs. He waved her hand casually, and a maidservant girl stepped forward to guide Pei Bao'er, and she herself followed behind and walked over slowly.

She was born in a scholarly family for generations, she has always been self-conscious, and she married a good husband, not to mention rising in the future, there is no problem in being an official lady in peace and stability. Therefore, when she looks at those ordinary people, she always feels that she is superior to others, and she is more picky than others.

It's just that today's observation of this Pei Niangzi's speech and demeanor, and even her walking posture, seems to be generous, not inferior to herself at all, and even a few points better than her own baby daughter. Of course, Miss He is too burly to show her graceful ladylike appearance, which she knows well, but she also secretly looks down on this Pei lady.

Half an hour later, Mrs. He looked at her "freshly baked" daughter and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It's still that person, but he changed his hairstyle and put on some weird makeup, and he actually looks a little like two people?

Miss He was also frightened by herself in the mirror, she was born with a love for beauty, she realized that she was different from others, and she was often troubled by her obesity. She was also very interested in these rouge gouaches, and she just looked forward to being as beautiful and moving as a beautiful maid who could enter the house by smearing it, but unfortunately, the ideal was very beautiful, and the reality was very cruel. Even Qing Yu, the most useful dressing girl by Ah Niang's side, failed to save her face.

Now, her pair of thin little eyes are actually more than twice as big under Pei Niangzi's wonderful hands, after the strange dark powder is applied, plus this new hair-style modification effect, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, she actually feels that her original full moon face is a lot smaller.

The maidservant behind Mrs. He is Qing Yu, because she has a pair of skillful hands in makeup, she is the most popular with Mrs. He in Hefu, and now when she sees Pei Baoer performing this "evil art", she can't help but be secretly jealous in her heart. Because of this jealousy, she looked at her eldest girl more strictly and critically, if she only looked at her face, she did look a lot thinner, and her posture had increased by two or three points, but if she looked at the body under her neck, it was not too much to look at.

In the end, Mrs. He has been in the world for a long time, and she is not a simple and innocent Miss He, but she is still immersed in the dream that she has become beautiful and refuses to wake up.

She quickly came back to her senses, and lightly praised "Pei Niangzi is really wonderful," and asked tentatively: "I have seen the former and the root cause of the treatment that Pei Niangzi said, and the effect is remarkable, so what about the latter?" ”

Pei Bao'er smiled, "Madame also knows that this is easy to treat the symptoms, but difficult to cure the root cause, and this is the case for everything." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. He's heart sank first, and she intuitively felt that this woman was going to take the opportunity to extort bamboo bars, just like those monks and Taoists who were abducted and deceived first told you that Yintang was blackened and then asked you to give you money to tell you how to resolve it.

Unexpectedly, Pei Baoer said again, "Although the matter of the eldest girl is a little difficult, there is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of people with hearts." If the lady trusts the slave family, can she give the slave family a month? I don't dare to say that the big girl is reborn, it's okay to be lighter. ”

Mrs. He's eyes lit up, and she didn't care that she was still despising the other party's identity just now, so she gave Qing Yu a look, and took Pei Bao'er's hand with a smile and walked out.

"Pei Niangzi actually has such a secret method? Isn't it a family secret recipe? Is it food or medicine? Are there any adverse effects on the body? ”

Pei Baoer almost laughed, this is treating her as a barefoot doctor who sells diet pills!

She had no choice but to say, "The slave family doesn't have any ancestral secret recipes, but they only know some methods and dietary taboos. She ignored the disappointment in Mrs. He's eyes, and continued: "Just now, the eldest girl stepped forward to take the slave's hand, and the slave family took the opportunity to check it out, and found that the eldest girl's physique was a little special, and she was very prone to edema. ”

Mrs. He was a little confused, and Pei Baoer had to explain patiently: "Have you ever seen other fat people?" It must be known that there are also differences in this fatness, some people are fat and strong, and their bodies are really full of meat; Some people are so fat that the flesh can be poked hard to see a mark, and it will take a while to recover. The big girl is the latter type. ”

Mrs. He cherishes her daughter very much, and naturally knows whether the flesh on her daughter's body is firm or loose. Seeing that Pei Bao'er was not here for a while, she was able to say it accurately, and she said it to the truth, and she couldn't help but have a little more trust in her heart.

"So what?"

Pei Baoer sincerely told Mrs. He about the principle of weight loss, this edema person wants to lose weight is the easiest, but he has to keep his mouth shut and open his legs. Of course, the most important thing is the latter, if it is just a diet, although you may be able to lose some weight quickly, but it will also rebound quickly, and after the rebound, you may be fatter than before. In addition, dieting has a great negative impact on people's spirits, and Mrs. He will never want a girl with yellow face and thin muscles.

Pei Bao'er explained in simple terms, even with some fresh words, but Mrs. He could basically understand it. It's just that when she heard what else her daughter had to do sports, Mrs. He was not very happy.

"The girl's family should be chaste and demure, how can she move around like a leather monkey, is it difficult for me to dance with a knife and get a gun?"

Pei Baoer immediately explained that she didn't need to dance with a knife or a gun, she just needed to follow her guidance, close the door and do some actions in the house, so as not to let the idlers wait to see the big girl's jokes, and it would not affect the reputation of the big girl.

She showed her loyalty again, and Mrs. Ho reluctantly agreed to her with half a doubt.

Because, Mrs. He knows very well that if she only relies on this makeup, she will not be able to add too much bargaining chips to her own girl when discussing marriage. If this Pei Niangzi really has a way, you can trust her once and let her try it once. Left and right, my own girl has just arrived, and it is not too late to discuss marriage after a year and a half.

"In this case, my Rou'er will be handed over to Pei Niangzi. January, I hope Pei Niangzi will not disappoint me. ”

Mrs. He patted the back of Pei Bao'er's hand, and her words were both expected and lightly warned. If this Pei Niangzi has no real ability, she dares to fool her, and toss her Rou'er, hum, let's see~
