Taixing County, Wang's family.

Mrs. Wang, who has a round face and a rich body, has always been a Maitreya Buddha, and she smiles first when she doesn't speak, but at this moment, she is so anxious that her fleshy face is about to wrinkle into a bitter gourd.

Today is the third day of the seventh month, so it is appropriate to get married.

Su Xiancheng's sister is going to get married, and she is married to the lord of this county, and she also invited the Wang family to eat and drink, which is a great happy event.

Because Mrs. Wang is still in the high hall, has both children and daughters, and is born rich, the married daughters of some famous people in this county love to ask Mrs. Wang to go and dress up for the bride. Su Xiancheng had already booked Mrs. Wang to be free on this day, and the latter readily agreed.

As a result, I don't know if Mrs. Wang was too excited, and early in the morning, Mrs. Wang got up and tripped by herself, and fell not lightly.

It's just that the county Cheng's face must be given, and this time is too coincidental, at this time to send someone to explain, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find other suitable hairdressers for a while, in case the county Cheng's lord blames it, and the Wang family doesn't have a famous child, I'm afraid that the future will be sad.

Mrs. Wang had a sad face, and she didn't even bother to pick out the clothes that her master would go to eat and drink later, so she pulled Master Wang to rack her brains and find a way. The latter is a big man, how will he know which mother-in-law is so skilled that he can do this job, so he can only accompany Mrs. Wang to frown.

The maidservant standing on the side said, "The Pei lady who works in our shop seems to be very good at makeup, and she doesn't know what to do with that makeup, but she always feels different from ours, and she is very good-looking." ”

Mrs. Wang slapped her thigh, "Why didn't I think of it?" Go to Osmanthus Lane and ask for someone! ”

The maidservant hesitated, "I just don't know if she can comb her hair......"

Mrs. Wang glared at her, "Which woman can't comb her hair, you are stupid and rely on others." Every time I go to the shop, I see the patterns on Pei Niangzi's head changing from time to time. She's a custodian! ”

The maidservant agreed, but when she walked to the door, she came back and asked, "What is the work over there?" ”

Mrs. Wang hated iron and said: "Give her half a day off!" Go, go, go! ”

So, Pei Baoer was coaxed by Mrs. Wang to go to the Cheng family in Su County for her, and for the first time in her life, she acted as a combing lady and gave her marriage a dress.

Miss Su's boudoir was crowded with relatives and daughters, and it was very lively. As soon as Pei Bao'er came in, everyone's eyes fell on her.

I saw that she was thin, wearing an ordinary Ai green dress, a small face with a big palm, and her facial features were also peugeot, but her skin was slightly yellow, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little drooping, which lost a lot of her appearance.

Someone whispered: "Why is the makeup lady so eye-catching?" looks pretty good, but she is very young, why doesn't Mrs. Su invite someone more sophisticated? ”

Hearing these subtle questions, Pei Baoer couldn't help but be a little nervous, and her hands were sweating.

She was very afraid that she would sweat and make up for a while and be seen by these ladies that her face was yellow and white, after all, in order not to steal the limelight with the bride, she had already worked hard to pretend to be ugly before she came, and used her homemade dark shadow cream and foundation to mix the whole face yellow, and also retouched her eyebrows and eyes.

But looking at Miss Su's shy appearance with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and her nervous posture of twisting her handkerchief, Pei Baoer slowly calmed down.

The person who got married was not herself, she was just here to work part-time as a makeup artist, so what was there to be nervous about. The worst plan is just to turn it into a bad one and be blacklisted by the Su family, and I won't be able to do this part-time job in the future. Not tragic at all, really!

Pei Baoer greeted Mrs. Su with a smile, pretending not to see the worry hidden in the other party's eyes, and she was afraid that she would mess up. She began to comb Miss Su's hair, her subordinates were skillful, and she also said auspicious words such as "one comb to the end, and the second comb girl's white hair and eyebrows" as usual, and until she said "ten combs of the husband and wife and two elders will reach the white head", and then began to coil her hair neatly and braided her hair in a bun.

Miss Su has a long face and good facial features, but she has suffered a loss from her face shape, and her posture has decreased slightly.

Pei Baoer did not comb the most popular flying bun, because it would make the bride's face longer, and Miss Su's hair was small, and she had to add a large number of wigs to comb the flying bun, not only the person who combed it was tired, but the bride was also tired with a wig. Therefore, Pei Baoer chose to comb Miss Su's cross hair.

First, coil the hair into a bun with a line of "ten", fill it with a certain wig piece to fix it, and then put the remaining hair on both sides of the head and hang it straight to the shoulder, and fix it with hairpins and hairpins.

This kind of bun does not require much hair, and it does not need to be plugged into the head of the pearl emerald, only a small gold bead crown is expensive enough, and it will be good to cover the red hijab for a while, and it will also save the bride a lot of trouble. The most important thing is that the hair hanging down on both sides can have the effect of modifying the shape of the face, in addition, because there are no bangs, the hair above the forehead Pei Baoer is not combed very tightly, creating a natural fluffy feeling, which to a certain extent has the effect of modifying the hairline on the forehead.

Pei Bao'er's hands and feet are very fast, and when she arrives, Miss Su has changed her old appearance to a new one, although she has not yet put on makeup, the whole person has already radiated a different brilliance.

The onlookers saw it in their eyes and praised it one after another, but only the long-tongued woman Ma Shi, who had just sung Pei Bao'er, was in harmony with her mouth, but her heart was sour.

Pei Baoer looked at the finished product under her hand, smiled with satisfaction, and opened the makeup box she brought.

Although Mrs. Wang has explained, it is said that the Su family is rich, and the girl's rouge gouache and combing tools have prepared a set of good ones, and she can go empty-handed. However, Pei Baoer still brought some of her belongings.

Some young girls couldn't resist their curiosity and looked in, only to see that although the makeup box was small, it was full of organs. There are three layers in total: the upper layer is an ordinary round box, printed with the pattern of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, which is estimated to be rouge gouache; The middle layer is a little unusual, it is actually a large and small bristle brush, which is very fine, the thickest is only the size of a chicken, and the thinnest is comparable to a crab claw pen; On the bottom layer are two jade-like stones, which have been polished to a very smooth surface, but they look a little weird in the makeup box.

When someone saw those brushes, they couldn't help but muttered in surprise, which attracted the attention of many young girls for a while.

Ma Shi also saw it in his eyes, his little eyes turned around, and he immediately felt that he had found a way to turn back the field, and deliberately said loudly: "Ouch, why don't you even bring a spool of twisted noodles?" With these brushes alone, could it be that you want to use brute force to open our girl's face? ”

Pei Bao'er's subordinates froze and scratched their heads blankly.

"Huh? Mrs. Wang didn't say that she wanted to open her face, in our hometown, isn't this work done by the aunts and grandchildren of the girl's family? ”

I can't fault anything wrong with that.

According to the rules handed down by the ancestors, a woman must twist noodles before getting married, which is the lightest work. Generally speaking, if the woman's family background is solid, most of them will invite a lady with a higher status to do this work. The work of combing hair and makeup is more cumbersome, and I will change to a special combing lady.

For example, Su Xiancheng can invite Mrs. County Ling to do this and be happy with each other, but you are always embarrassed to rely on Mrs. County Ling to do the tiring work of combing your hair, right?

However, if it is a small household, you can't pay attention to these rules, and just ask a Quanfu wife to do it.

The Su family is not a local, but Su County Cheng came here as an official, and there are only his mother and sister in the family, so he simply moved the whole family over. There are fewer relatives here, and they still marry a local girl here, that is, Mrs. Su. Most of the relatives who came to watch the ceremony today are the in-laws of Mrs. Su's side, if you look for it there, there are indeed few Mrs. Quanfu who can support the scene, after all, Mrs. Su's mother's family is just an ordinary big family.

Mrs. Su thought about it, and the most faceable person she could invite was only Mrs. County Commander. It's a pity that Mrs. He is a little frail and sickly, and the weather has been cold recently, so she was sick again, and she was not invited. So I simply let Mrs. Wang do it, which also values her kindness, and as for the grooming skills, it is secondary. It's just that I didn't expect Mrs. Wang to be unlucky and hurt her waist, so she had to temporarily let this Pei Niangzi, who is said to have good grooming skills, be on top.

Pei Niangzi is a foreigner, and last year she dragged her family to live in Taixing County, saying that the young couple came out to earn some craft money and went home to support the elderly. The little couple looks like they are honest, they gave birth to a big fat son, and their in-laws seem to be still there, so they are a good candidate.

It's just that if she is asked to open her face to the girl, her status will be lower. Mrs. Su just quietly pulled her cousin-in-law to say this, although this cousin-in-law only married a solid farmer, but she is also a well-blessed person, so most of the neighbors in the township will also call her to marry their daughters-in-law, and they dare not say anything else, and the skill of opening their faces will definitely not be wrong.

As soon as the negotiation was settled, the Ma clan shouted loudly, as if others would not notice that he had not invited Mrs. He or other ladies with status to open her sister-in-law's face.

Mrs. Su secretly glared at Na Ma, who was unaware of it, and was ready to continue arguing with Pei Bao'er.

She rushed in front of Ma and said: "The third daughter-in-law, is it here to pick up the kiss outside?" The little girls are thin-skinned, and I bother you to take them out to block the door, and make it difficult for our bridegroom. ”

According to local customs, it is always difficult for the groom to marry when he comes to the woman's house, and the groom's duty has always been the bride's own little sister, or handkerchief, which must be the unmarried. And most of the bridegroom's officials are also prepared, with five or six cousins and cousins who are big and round or talented, and it is best that they are not married. The little ladies of the female family are responsible for delaying the time of the problem, and the men are responsible for passing the five levels and cutting six generals. In this section of the difficult groom, there are often children who have not decided to kiss each other, and then they come to the door to say that they are hired, which is another beautiful conversation.

As for the happy money that was "looted" when the groom was blocked, it was secondary, but it was just a lively and festive picture.

Generally speaking, it is very rare for the little daughter-in-law to go to this job, unless the number of unmarried little sisters in the female family is too small, so they will be allowed to take the top. But Ma is different from ordinary people, she is a money-loving person, this opportunity was actually pointed at herself, she was overjoyed, full of thoughts, today the groom's official family seems to have a permanent property, presumably the shot will not be stingy, if you are lucky, you can't say that today's robbery, go back to the first half of the family to chew.

Thinking about it this way, Ma didn't care about any makeup girls or not, and soon pulled a group of little girls out.

Everyone has different thoughts, as for Pei Baoer, she didn't pay attention to the little episode just now. At this moment, she was looking intently at the person wringing her face, and with a few clicks of her skillful hands, Miss Su's face turned into a freshly peeled egg, which was very smooth, and she couldn't help but be amazed in her heart.

This is the first time she has witnessed the bride of an ancient wedding after crossing over, which is really unusual!

Just thinking about it, she probably won't have the opportunity to experience being a bride in her life, and she can't help but be a little disappointed. I can only comfort myself with a strong spirit, if I make a profit today, at least I can often come to watch other people's weddings in the future.

After opening her face, Pei Baoer took out two greenish stone slabs from the bottom of the makeup box, and when everyone was wondering what she was going to do, she directly pasted the stone slabs on the bride's face.

This time, even Mrs. Su was not calm, "Pei Niangzi, you are ......"

"Oh, the girl has just opened her face, and her face is a little red, and this slate can calm her skin and make it easier to wear makeup."

Pei Bao'er patiently explained while gently moving the curved stone slab on the bride's face.

After a while, the bride's reddish skin really had a tendency to turn white, and in the eyes of everyone, there was inevitably a lot of discussion. Although Pei Bao'er said some new words to calm the skin, they were not stupid, and they immediately thought of the trick.

Pei Baoer heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the hospital, and knew that the pick-up team had indeed come, so she sped up her movements.

It's just that she didn't use the gouache provided by the Su family, but took out a small blue round jar from the top of her makeup box, which was the simple version of the foundation she had been fumbling for a few months after she crossed over. Although the formula is not as comprehensive as her previous products in the R&D center of the multinational cosmetics group, the effect is definitely very different from these ancient makeup powders made of rice flour.

Pei Baoer cleaned her hands first, then picked out a big brush, and began to lightly apply makeup to the bride.

When she first started tinkering with these cosmetics, she missed the beauty eggs of the past, even if it was a puff. She had to use her fingers instead of applying her base makeup, but luckily she found a skilled craftsman to create such a natural rabbit hair brush, which is perfect for applying makeup.

Then, there's the thrush.

After Pei Baoer passed through, she found that it seems that women in this time and space like to bend thin eyebrows, which may also be a popular fashion in this region. But she personally doesn't like it very much, because her own face shape is not suitable and she is easy to look fierce.

Miss Su's face is long, so it is even more unsuitable.

Therefore, she ignored Miss Su's extremely thin curved eyebrows, took the eyebrows and started directly, drew a straight, slightly curved eyebrow shape, and made it a little thicker.

She was cheeky and fooled with the statement of "lucky eyebrows", and everyone's faint doubts stopped, and some people even whispered and discussed, "This eyebrow seems to be able to make the face smaller".

After applying a layer of faint blush and eyeshadow on both cheeks and eye sockets, everyone understood the usefulness of those brushes, and their hearts felt strange and fresh. The eye sockets are also painted with something that looks like rouge, and the color is quite special, which seems to make the bride's eyes deeper and more focused, and with a faint peach blossom shyness. Some little girls who have not yet decided to marry are already imagining in their hearts that when they go out, they must also pester A-Niang to ask this Pei Niang to come over and dress up for themselves.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Baoer found out a small round box, which was a paste-like thing, the texture was a bit like the powder paste she used to make her base makeup, but the color was much darker.

A young daughter-in-law boldly asked, "Pei Niangzi, what is this for?" The color is so dark, how can you paint it on your face? Others also chimed in.

Pei Baoer pursed her lips and smiled, and only said, "You'll know in a while."

I saw her hands flying, dotting the dark powder, lightly applying it to the bride's forehead and chin, and taking out a slanted brush to blend it.

After a few moments, the ladies in the bride's room, including the bride herself, were stunned.

Miss Su looked at the delicate and steady self in the mirror, and couldn't help but want to touch her cheeks, wanting to confirm whether she had seen something wrong.

But Pei Baoer gently grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "The makeup is complete, the girl can't move." The bridegroom was about to come in at once, and although the girl was so picturesque, the slave family didn't have time to redraw it again. ”

Who doesn't like compliments, even if Mrs. Su knew that her sister-in-law's original appearance was only three points, but she was raised to six or seven points by this Pei Niangzi's skillful hand, she also smiled when she heard this, and hurriedly signaled the maid to quickly change a bigger red seal to Pei Bao'er.

A quarter of an hour later, the hustle and bustle of the wedding was still there, and Pei Baoer had already pinched her hard-earned money and happily left the Su family.

After thinking about it, she didn't go back to Osmanthus Lane directly, and turned around and went towards the Wang family.
