Qin Mingyue followed Gu Wen to go over like this, and she didn't go to every store, because Gu Wen was very familiar with this place, and the ones she took Qin Mingyue to visit were some of the best stores in the industry. So, Qin Mingyue bought a lot of things.

There are beautiful Shu embroidery pieces, there are unique colors of Shu brocade, there are fat powder and rouge made of fragrant flowers unique to Ba Province, and there are some well-made silver jewelry.

Qin Mingyue not only bought a lot for herself, but also immediately rewarded the four maids who served her with a lot of fat powder and silver jewelry. Everyone was happy when they came out.

In addition to these things, Qin Mingyue also found something chic in a shop.

Qin Mingyue asked: "Sister Wen, these colors are gorgeous, but what are they that are obviously not used as pigments or fat powder?" ”

Qin Mingyue pointed to some paint-like things packed in delicate small white porcelain boxes, mainly in various shades of blue, but also some red, aqua green and the like. At first, she thought it was a paint shop for painting. Who knows, it's not.

Gu Wen smiled and explained to Qin Mingyue: "These are not paints, however, it can also be said that they are paints, but they are not used to draw on drawing paper. This is used to paint on people's bodies. ”

Qin Mingyue was taken aback: "How do you paint on your body?" ”

Gu Wen dragged Qin Mingyue to this shop, she was obviously very familiar with the owner of this shop. The guys in this shop are men and women. The one who entertained the ancient pattern was a girl dressed as a white phoenix clan, very bright.

The female lad saluted Gu Wen and said, "Young lady, why are you free today?" When you come to the store today, do you want to make decorations? Do you want to engrave or draw? ”

Gu Wen said, "Let's draw it for the two of us." Which one to spend on the wrist, let's pick a pattern? Are there any fresh patterns? Called the best painter to come. ”

The female guy smiled and welcomed Gu Wen and Qin Mingyue to a simple but very clean and tidy cubicle. There are two very clean carved stools made of solid wood. There are also two matching small tables.

Not long after Gu Wen and Qin Mingyue sat down, a woman from the Baifeng clan in her thirties came over with a thick booklet and said, "Young lady, this young lady, this is the latest trick in our shop, please choose between the two." ”

While choosing with Qin Mingyue, Gu Wen said to Qin Mingyue: "The men and women of our hundred tribes like to get tattoos on their bodies. Tattoos are too painful, though. Although there are still people with tattoos today, however, there are far fewer of them. Most of us use this kind of pigment that is brightly colored and can be kept for a long time, and we ask a special painter to paint it on our body. ”

Gu Wen said as he pulled up a sleeve on his arm, revealing an arm that bullied the frost and snow. Qin Mingyue saw at a glance that on that arm, there was a circular arabesque ornament drawn. The blue background, with pink petals, is very eye-catching and beautiful. Against the backdrop of this ornamentation, the arm is even whiter.

Gu Wen said: "Miss, please look, this is the arm print I tattooed half a month ago." The advantage of this pigment is that it cannot be easily washed off even in the bath. Of course, we ladies don't wait for the real decoration to fade before re-tattooing, once the decoration is not beautiful, we will go to the store and ask the artist to help us remove it with a unique potion, and then redraw the new pattern. These ornaments are also trendy. The ladies of Ba Province will be ridiculed for not wearing the ornaments that follow the trend. ”

Now Qin Mingyue understood, this is actually the same as the popularity of clothes and jewelry in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, not only for beauty, but also for face.

Gu Wen continued: "Originally, this was only popular among the hundreds of ethnic groups in Ba Province. Moreover, different nationalities have different favorite patterns. For example, most of the people of the Baifeng tribe like to tattoo flower and bird patterns. Especially the various phoenix luan bird motifs. The women of our ancient family like to tattoo all kinds of arabesques, flowers and other patterns. ”

"Later, the Han people also interacted with us more, and many of these Han noblewomen also liked this kind of beautiful ornamentation, for example, the young grandmother of the governor's family liked to patronize this small shop."

Wang Meiren's daughter-in-law? Well, according to her age, she is indeed a young woman under the age of thirty, just like Gu Wen. It is the age of beauty. Moreover, she was born in Yun Province, although she is a Han person, but since she was a child, she has lived in a place like Yun Province where there are many people, so she can naturally accept this kind of ornamentation.

Although Qin Mingyue was born in the Han and was born in the top nobles in the capital, how could her vision and mind be comparable to that of ordinary boudoir girls. Hearing the interesting introduction of the ancient pattern, she also became interested, and began to study with the ancient pattern with great interest which pattern is good-looking and where the pattern is suitable.

Finally, after the introduction of the ancient pattern, she chose a beautiful pattern of the moonlight flower, a unique flower in Ba Province, and the small tattoo was on the back of her left hand. This was quite unexpected by the ancient pattern.

At the beginning, Gu Wen introduced Qin Mingyue to this small decoration shop, with the intention of testing Qin Mingyue. As a noble lady from a hundred ethnic groups, she instinctively had a sense of vigilance against the noble-born Qin Mingyue, and also had an inferiority complex. Although Qin Mingyue was very close to the people, showing that the hundred ethnic groups and the Han people were all one family, she didn't believe it deep down.

Therefore, she invited Qin Mingyue to come to this kind of tattoo shop, just to see if Qin Mingyue would look down on this kind of behavior, many Han people resisted, they thought that the body hair and skin should not be damaged or easily changed for their parents. And it is believed that this kind of ornament is a symbol of the uncivilized people of the hundred tribes, and even ridicules and ridicules the people of the hundred tribes.

However, what Gu Wen didn't expect was that Qin Mingyue not only accepted it happily, but also deliberately asked the painter to tattoo a pattern on the back of his hand, a conspicuous place. This made Gu Wen's heart can't help but get close to Qin Mingyue.

As the young lady of the Bai family, Gu Wen was born as the daughter of the Gu family. Her identity is doomed, even if she is a gentle character, but this mind and scheming will not be bad.

Gu Wen is gentle on the surface, in the mainland, she is actually a very principled person, she is very protective of the interests of the hundred ethnic groups, not only the interests of the Bai family, but also the interests of the Gu family she was born in.

Gu Wen heard her husband and father-in-law talk many times about their admiration for Qin Mingyue, the future national teacher, and said that the Taoist society that Qin Mingyue wanted to run would bring great changes to Ba Province and the people of Ba Province. However, from the bottom of her heart, she was still worried, because Qin Mingyue was a Han and a Han lady from a noble background. She was afraid that Qin Mingyue herself would look down on the people of the Hundred Clans. After this day's contact, Gu Wen's impression of Qin Mingyue has greatly changed.

Although he hadn't seen anything extraordinary about Qin Mingyue, he had already made Gu Wen involuntarily close to Qin Mingyue.
