Chapter 71: Sickness
Pei Bao'er is a person, although she consciously judges the temperament of her previous life, but there is one thing that is consistent, that is, she doesn't like to socialize.
In the past, Pei Shu may have been a high and widow, but because she grew up in an orphanage, she was very precocious in her life, and she was very indifferent to these vain communication, otherwise she would not have chosen such a career path later, and after graduation, she plunged into the laboratory to be with bottles and cans.
Therefore, being pulled back by Qi Heng to be the princess of this Laoshizi, and she has to be sent away, it is impossible for her to give in with a smile.
Her ambition in life is to do business and make a lot of money, so she has the habits of a businessman in her thinking. Of course, it can also be said to be a stinky problem with the smell of copper.
Businessmen, most of them are unprofitable, and if they want Pei Baoer to take over something they are reluctant to, they have to have some interests to hang the carrot in front of them.
If she hadn't thought about it, her birthday was just a few days before the shop opened, and she didn't bother to toss it. Now, let's just turn this boring banquet into a free advertising campaign, and just start a vague press conference.
Pei Baoer had a whim, pulled Song Yan, Beiyan and others to cooperate, first pulled a bunch of goods prepared in the shop, and according to the posts sent out, each household added one or two sets of rouge gouache to the return gift list.
Secondly, the young maids from fifteen to twenty-five years old in the house were pulled over, and a few good makeup skills were selected to come out, and she was personally taught that set of makeup techniques, and then passed on ten, ten to hundred, and if they really couldn't learn, let those with good skills help them put on makeup, in short, on the day of the birthday banquet, it is necessary to show an unusual style to the female guests who come to eat and drink.
She didn't believe it, for thousands of years, women have not loved beauty, especially these powerful high-ranking officials and wives, they don't have to do housework personally, and their children also have nurses.
Ruyuge can't enter the circle of these powerful people, mainly because of the problem of market positioning, and there is also the fact that Mrs. Lin is very good at business, but she can find Yuan Wulang, a copycat expert, and she can't find a second person like Pei Baoer who is familiar with modern makeup skills.
I went to Ruyu Pavilion that day, and there was one female worker, but just looking at the makeup on her face, Pei Baoer knew a little.
She deliberately went around in a big circle and passed by Anle Fang to see a few flower girls, some of the powder on her neck was not willing to apply it, her face was as white as the bright moon, but her neck was yellow as a moon cake crust. Moreover, the flowers on his eyelids are so green that Pei Baoer doesn't dare to compliment, and he is a proper nightclub to kill Matt.
In addition to marketing for the new shop, another important purpose is to strangle the endless social posts of these female relatives in the cradle as much as possible.
As Ling Xue said, she was impatient to see those people one by one, but if she wanted to live here for a long time, it would be impossible to avoid these people forever, it was better to make a good way, not to mention that it could be done once and for all, but at least it was the kind that would get twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, she heard that she had posted to the palace after she came back, and she basically invited all of them to come.
Even if Ling Xue reminded her that which ones were Concubine Lin's in-laws, and which ones were the maiden homes of the prince's death squad leader in the court, she didn't care. Anyway, Song Yan was busy running around in this matter, he had the list in his hand, and his eyes were very poisonous, if there was a problem, he would definitely report it to Qi Heng. She has not received any opinions from her side, so it can be seen that Qi Heng does not have any special instructions.
She said to Ling Xue: "You are too careful, anyway, your master is also a princess, and you still want to call me an imperial aunt today, how can you shrink your hands and feet like this." Those individuals invited and invited, and if they made me unhappy, I couldn't show them a look? ”
Ling Xue explained, "That's not the case. It's just that the slave maid thinks that although the prince is now in the court, he is always ...... Although we want to be more festive, we don't have to be too public. ”
Pei Baoer pursed her lips and didn't explain further.
She is now in the name of the concubine of the first real power prince's family, and she can't publicize it, and if the regent falls another day, she will have no chance. Moreover, she is now cautious in her words and deeds, calculating everywhere, if Qi Heng falls, she will still have no good fruit to eat.
So, what do she still think about so much, how to be happy, how to live.
Not only did she want to invite all of them over, but she also wanted these people to see with their own eyes how Princess Pei in the Regent's palace was entertaining them with her extremely weak and sick body, and she wanted to see if anyone would be cheeky enough to hand her posts in the future.
Yes, Pei Baoer sat in front of the makeup mirror for half an hour today, and she didn't need Beiyan and her help, she relied on her own to make up sickly makeup, and then came out of the table with full "makeup".
The most important thing about sick makeup, in one word, light.
Lip makeup is the most important thing, and you should never put on red lipstick. On the contrary, I also used foundation to cover Pei Baoer's original lip color, and gently spread a touch of pink in the center of my lower lip, but it was a faint powder, not ostentatious at all.
The eye makeup is the moist red eye makeup, Pei Baoer used a faint nude pink, and used a jasper pestle dipped in a little peach powder to roll around the eye circles. Naturally, the eyeliner is not drawn, and the eyebrows are only lightly covered with a layer of powder. As a result, his eyes look moist and hazy, and he is dusty.
In addition, the base makeup is naturally going in the direction of paleness. It will inevitably make people look at their radiant faces, and the highlights can't be on. The shadow can be played a little more, it looks skinny, and it's even more pitiful, isn't it?
Sure enough, when everyone saw her, most of them showed pity on their faces, and the two old duchesses still held her hands and asked her to take care of her body with great feeling, and said that she was suffering. In this way, as for the specific process of how she suffered, everyone is embarrassed to continue to ask, this is not poking people's hearts.
Ke, who had seen her in Zhang's Mansion before, was shocked, and muttered to his younger sister Yang in private: "It's only been a few days, why is Niangniang described it like this?" ”
Yang didn't go back last time, how did she know what Pei Bao'er looked like before. In addition, Pei Yan washed her face with tears after returning home last time, and almost went on a hunger strike, and she only persuaded her to get better in the past few days, and Yang's heart was very upset. Moreover, the step-princess in her memory is indeed sick, sometimes she is talking, she is dizzy at every turn, compared with before, today this is still spiritual!
She said perfunctorily, "Presumably it's because the mood is not good, haven't there been a lot of people in our house lately?" ”
The two of them were talking small words, but they heard the lady next to them who was talking to Pei Bao'er suddenly became dumb, and the low voices of the others were also a lot quieter. When I looked up, I saw a distinguished guest.
Princess Medea, who is famous in the capital, visited the Regent's Mansion again, and she was very familiar with the road, first smiled and greeted Pei Bao'er, and then sat down in Princess Jinghe's pile.
A princess smiled, "I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet the princess here today." ”
Everyone said a polite word or two without smiling, but the disdain in their eyes couldn't be hidden, especially Princess An, who was above the top of her eyes.
Princess An was born in a famous family, she is the daughter of the Duke of Liu, and she is the good daughter-in-law that the Empress Dowager Qin chose for her son after thousands of choices. There are many rules in the Liuguo Mansion, and Princess An has always valued the rules, and she doesn't like such frivolous women. Like Princess Medea, in her eyes, she is not much better than the girl of Zhihualou. However, they were also arranged to sit together at the dinner table, which made her very breathless.
But she can't say that Pei Bao'er is not good, after all, the eldest family was abolished by the first emperor a few years ago because of his rebellious heart, and the second princess Rui Wangrui followed the first emperor, Pei Baoer can now be called her eldest sister-in-law, not to mention that she has a husband who controls the government, but her own husband is still trapped in the enemy country and doesn't know when she will return.
So, Princess Ann "accidentally" spilled the residual wine in the cup on Princess Medea on her left hand side with the intention of drinking.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, please forgive me, princess."
The perfunctory meaning in the words was very obvious, but Princess Medea was not angry, and after being taken aback, she still left the table with a smile and changed her clothes.
Princess An was proud in her heart, even Princess Ning, who she had always felt that she was not very long-sighted, provoked the conversation, praised the novelty of the makeup of these maids in Pei Baoer's mansion, and led the topic to Pei Baoer's newly opened fat powder shop. This is usually placed, and she probably secretly thinks that Princess Ning is a dogleg in her heart.
However, she didn't have long to be complacent, but the maid behind her came over with a worried face and told her bad news.
Princess Ann was so shocked that her wine glass fell to the ground.
"What? Afi? How can it be? ”
Princess Kang, who was sitting on her right, looked concerned: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
Princess Ann hurriedly got up, laughing more ugly than crying, and left the table with a lame excuse.
Because of the fact that she had just dropped her wine glass, and because of the sudden departure from the table, the ladies at the other table who noticed this scene began to talk in low voices, but several people at this table looked at each other and couldn't say anything.
Princess Kang smiled, slowly ate half a glass of wine, held the maid's hand and said dizzy, after going out under the pretext, the tired state was swept away, but she went in a certain direction in high spirits.
For a while, almost half of the people at the main table ran away, and everyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong, most of them because something bad had happened. Unbelief? You see, even Princess Pei is gone, so she must have gone to help clean up the mess.
At this time, Pei Baoer had already left the table to change clothes under the pretext of an excuse, and also received the news. She didn't have the enthusiasm to take the initiative to clean up the mess, but she couldn't help but be a little curious, don't these people want to use their own scene to sing a big show? If so, how could she not see it with her own eyes?
When she arrived at the gate of Changchun Garden, Pei Baoer stopped suddenly, took a breath, and then held Beiyan with one hand and her heart with the other, and entered weakly.
I saw that the door of one of the side houses was wide open, and it was not Princess An's personal maid who was standing at the door?
