Chapter 172: I Don't Want This Old and Ugly Face Forever
Three watches at night, the back house of Dongfu, the main hall of Fushenyuan.
Song wore a homely gold-trimmed lotus-colored cardigan, pulled a half-loose dark cloud bun, and held a gold-painted hard-sealed Buddhist scripture to look at it carefully.
The maid came up with tea, and Song held the tea in one hand and the scriptures in the other, leisurely and calm.
In stark contrast to her calmness, Dong Xuanying was restless in the seat at the other end. One moment he stood up and changed seats, and the next he seemed to suddenly think of something, and he paced back and forth nervously.
With a look on her face, Dong Xuanying stretched out her hand to take the tea, and her hands were burned all of a sudden, and she exclaimed.
The maid Dao Sui hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The maid is guilty, clumsy, please beat the young lady!" ”
But at this moment, Dong Xuanying was not even in the mood to beat people, waved her hand, and pushed the rice ears down.
When she turned her head to look, Dong Xuanying saw that Song didn't even raise her eyelids, and the gold-clad Buddhist scripture in her hand slowly turned a page.
Dong Xuanying's red lips couldn't help pursing, and she complained coquettishly: "Mother~~~ Now you still have the heart to read the Bible?" My daughter has long said that the woman who is not very clever and is a vulgar charlatan. This kind of old man entered the palace, and he was rude in advance and retreat, and he will definitely cause us trouble! Behold, it is now fulfilled! ”
Song pursed her lips and was silent, and Mama Ju on the side persuaded: "Second Miss rest assured, it's not an accident now, it's just that the fourth miss came back first." When she is called over, she asks for clarity, and everyone is suspicious. ”
Dong Xuanying stared at the pool of tea on the ground, and asked hatefully: "Two people followed the princess Wei Qi into the palace, shouldn't they go in and out together?" They stayed in the palace last night, and today only the four girls came back alone, which is absolutely unusual! ”
Ju Mama guessed: "Xu is because Shan Yutang is particularly fond of the Queen Mother, and her skills in playing the piano are particularly superb, so the Queen Mother will keep her for a few more days." ”
Dong Xuanying didn't like to be angry: "You play it very well? Why does that woman love to show off like this? I didn't explain it to her, just be decent! This time, it was the woman who changed my face and entered the palace for me, but she didn't wait here every day, and the next time the Queen Mother suddenly summoned me, I had to go by myself. The Queen Mother asked me to play again, wouldn't that be a goof! ”
"Ouch, Second Miss is angry," Mama Ju said soothingly, "That Shan Xiangu who entered the palace for you is not an ordinary person, and she is not someone who can be invited if you have money, our lady can invite her, all because of the relationship between Mrs. Lu Nian." Madame has already made an appointment with Shan Xiangu, and as soon as she comes back from the palace, she will teach the second lady to play the piano. The second lady is talented and intelligent, and she will be able to learn it in a few days! ”
"Hmph." Dong Xuanying turned her head.
After being bored for a while, she turned her head sharply again, stared at her eyes roundly, and asked in a tight voice: "Master Ri Nian said that this face swapping technique must be changed back within twenty days, otherwise it will be like this forever!" Right? ”
Ju Mama was stunned, nodded and said, "Yes, before Mrs. Shi returned to Caigenan, she did tell her so. ”
Dong Xuanying's jade hand grabbed the corner of the square table, hummed and sneered: "Okay, it turns out that Shan Yutang has such an idea, I said that she is not short of money, and she doesn't want anything from our family, why is she so kind, willing to be my stand-in, and go to a heavily guarded place like the palace!" ”
"Second Miss means ......" Mama Ju held her breath nervously.
"Hmph, if you impersonate yourself to meet the Queen Mother, once you are exposed, you will die! The woman who had no reason agreed to help, it must have been because she saw that my face was naturally beautiful and covetous! ”
The more Dong Xuanying spoke, the more sure she became, she gasped for breath and shouted at the top of her throat, "Now that she is hiding in the palace and can't come out, I can't get in, once the 20 days have passed, and my face can't be changed back, I will always have to bear this old and ugly face!" ”
It turned out that the "face swapping technique" provided by Master Ritsu was not a disguise technique that is commonly seen on the rivers and lakes, but through some kind of forbidden ritual, the bright eyes of a twelve-year-old girl were sacrificed, so that the two people who were cast the spell could change their faces!
This kind of magical face-swapping method that is similar to witchcraft can only be done by the various sects and factions in the rivers and lakes, and there is no semicolon.
Although the face swap is dangerous, it can completely turn one person's face into another person, and there is no trace of it, and the skin and bones on the face are real. The person whose face has been changed, even her own father and mother can't tell the truth from the fake.
Although the transfiguration technique is much simpler, there is no concern that you will not be able to change it back after changing your face, but it is almost impossible to change into another person without any mistakes.
The top famous disguise master in the rivers and lakes, Wei Yejian, the master of Tianyi Pavilion, is counted as one, and the time when he disguised himself is only six or seven percent similar, which is already rare.
Shi Yi'an, the fourteenth junior high school in Xijing, is known as the "son with a thousand faces", but he does not have the ability to completely become another person.
Therefore, Mrs. Ritsu's face-swapping technique, while making people sincerely amazed, also makes some rich girls who are not naturally beautiful and yearn for a touching face flock to it.
As for the capital, how many famous ladies who are known for their beauty have changed their faces, which is not enough for outsiders.
Like Dong Xuanying, there is almost no situation where she changes it once and has to change it back immediately every few days.
There is something in the Taiyan Nunnery of the Ritsu Nianshi, and he has to take a break for two days. Before leaving, she stressed that the time for the re-transfer must not exceed 20 days, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed.
At this end, Dong Xuanying finally had the opportunity to enter the palace to play the qin, and she was supposed to perform well, but she was replaced by another woman, which made her feel very uncomfortable. But her mother Song insisted on doing so, and Dong Xuanying had no choice but to comply.
At that time, it was said that he would enter the palace on the same day and return home on the same day. waited for two days in a row, which made Dong Xuanying's mood more and more impatient, like peas in a red-hot iron pot, banging from time to time.
Especially every time she takes a self-portrait in the mirror, what she sees is another woman's face, which makes Dong Xuanying very angry.
However, the "old and ugly" in her mouth is too ugly, although Shan Yutang is in her thirties, she is not as delicate and clear as a girl of fifteen or sixteen, and she is flawless, but she is also a beauty that can be counted on the rivers and lakes. I don't know how many heroes and heroes are overwhelmed by the smile and are willing to let her drive.
Of course, age is there, not as smart as Dong Xuanying, and Shan Yutang is born with slightly dark skin.
Dong Xuanying only picked up the mirror and looked at it in the past two days, and her heart was on fire, and then she couldn't help but speculate that Shan Yutang was trying to deceive her most beautiful face in the Western Wei Dynasty, so she agreed to change the face of the two and enter the palace to play the piano instead of Dong Xuanying!
A woman's biggest enemy is time, if there is a way to change a young teenage face, more beautiful than the original, what woman will refuse?
"No! Can't wait! Dong Xuan stood up and said sharply, "Mother, I don't care, I want to enter the palace!" Hurry up and find a way to let me enter the palace and let Shan Yutang give me back my face! ”
"Second Miss, don't be impatient," Mama Ju advised, "It's going to be fine, Mrs. and Mrs. Rinnian are all planned, everything is foolproof!" ”
Dong Xuanying's teeth were cold, and she said hatefully: "Lu Nian is an old witch who fiddles with evil arts!" The last time my mother asked her to help me get rid of my addiction, she made me swallow a bowl of heart and liver that I don't know what it was, all raw! At this point, her voice became more and more high-pitched, "The old witch also drained the blood of a little boy and rushed it against me, making me very uncomfortable, dizzy and disgusting!" ”
Song's response was just another page of the Buddhist scriptures, and he frowned and said, "Why hasn't Mama Gu come back?" It shouldn't be. ”
Mama Ju said: "Mrs. Xu is also concerned about this matter, and called the fourth lady for questioning." After all, the two granddaughters entered the palace together, and only the fourth lady let the official sedan chair carry it back, and the old lady must feel strange. ”
"Who doesn't find it strange?" Dong Xuanying's beautiful face distorted, and she shouted loudly, "I know, that single language tang was introduced to my mother by Bald Ni Lunian, and those two people were in collusion at all, in order to exchange for my alluring appearance!" ”
"No, no," Mama Ju analyzed, "A legal message was specially warned before leaving, if she really colluded with Monoyutang, she wouldn't remind us at all." Second, if the single language Tang coveted the appearance of the second lady, she would not even enter the palace, and she would just leave. ”
When Dong Xuanying heard this, big tears snapped, and she wet her front placket, and asked hesitantly: "If she really leaves, I will use this vulgar face of an old woman, she is dark and her skin is rough...... Woohoo......"
Because the face swap technique is limited to face swapping, and the body is still the original body, so now Dong Xuanying's neck is snow-white, which is very different from her face.
It took a night to do all kinds of maintenance with milk, orange peel and other things, and jasmine powder, so it looked much more natural.
At that time, in order to imitate Dong Xuanying and be more like, Shan Yutang stayed in her boudoir all night. Although Dong Xuanying tried her best not to show it, she still showed disgusted eyes.
And Dong Xuanying, who was crying at the moment, didn't know that Monoyutang, who was wearing her face, was listening outside the window at the back of the house, and took all this in her ears.
Walking among the rivers and lakes over the years, who doesn't call Monoyutang a "fairy girl" or a "saint", but in Dong Xuanying's mouth, she has become an old and ugly woman with a "vulgar face"!
Shan Yutang almost exploded his lungs, and he couldn't wait to kick the door in, but thinking of what the fourth lady Dong Qianmo said in the official sedan chair-
"Fairy Gu doesn't know, my mother is a powerful woman, and she has never missed an abacus over the years. The song you played when you entered the palace was so brilliant, my second sister couldn't compare to you if she practiced for another ten years, but the glory and wealth rolled by, and they didn't have time to wait for ten more years, and they didn't have the determination to study hard. My mother will definitely think of a way to turn your brilliance into her daughter's brilliance. ”
Hiding in the official sedan chair, Shan Yutang, who went out of the palace together, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" I don't understand what you're saying! ”
Dong Qianmo said: "I don't mean anything else, I just remind the fairy aunt that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and it is an eternal truth." Otherwise, once you fall into the hands of others, you will become a fish, and then it will be too late to regret it. ”
Shan Yutang was not only wary of the Song family, but also worried about Dong Qianmo, and asked: "You and I meet in Pingshui, you don't even know who I am, why do you want to demolish your mother's platform and remind me to be careful?" ”
Dong Qianmo said: "It's hard to say, if the fairy aunt unfortunately falls for her mother's plan and lives in the Dong Mansion for a long time in the future, even if I don't say it, you will slowly understand." ”
“……”
Shan Yutang was shocked, and after getting off the official sedan chair in front of the Fengyuzhai Gate, he neither entered the Fengyuzhai to sit down, nor did he immediately go to Fushenyuan to see the Song family, but avoided everyone, changed into an inconspicuous family uniform, turned around, and touched the main hall where the Song family and the others were.
At that time, the sky was already dark, and Shan Yutang was a person with a background in martial arts, so no one noticed her whereabouts, so she could hear the conversation of the people in the hall.
Originally, Shan Yutang just wanted to hear whether the Song family and the others were really discussing some bad ideas as Dong Qianmo said, and planned to use persecution or imprisonment to make her a stand-in for Miss Dong Er for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Dong Xuanying is so ignorant and ungrateful. Shan Yutang entered the palace this time, and there was Princess Wei's black hand pushing in the dark, and he almost didn't come back.
It's easy to come back, and when I heard Dong Xuanying mouthful of an "old woman", it's really a Buddha who is also on fire!
Monoyutang's eyes showed a hint of murderous light, and it took a long time to reluctantly suppress it, and he retreated step by step, and his figure gradually disappeared into the night.
And at this moment, the people in the hall were ignorant, and they didn't know that because of Dong Xuanying's disrespectful words, they directly offended Monoyutang, who was still wearing her face!
"Knock knock!"
Mama knocked on the door and came in, panting breathlessly, and said anxiously, "Oh no, ma'am! Fourth Miss She didn't know what kind of good luck she had, this trip to the palace won the heart of the Queen Mother, I heard that she was about to enter the palace to be a mother! ”
