Chapter XXIX. toilet

But I didn't expect that I could be with Mrs. Wang, which is really a lost mulberry and a harvest. Qingwen happily agreed. Seeing that she was really happy to smile, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but smile, and then let her go back to rest.

On the second day, just after the fifth watch, Qingwen got up and went to the big kitchen to ask for a bowl of somen noodles.

Hibiscus flowers, lotus earrings carved from pink crystal hanging on their ears, holding the light pink handkerchief of osmanthus embroidered before, thinking that she has often stayed up late to embroider recently, her face is a little bad, so Qingwen puffed on some powder, gave herself eyebrows, and put blush and lipstick.

Qingwen hadn't dressed up so formally for a long time, so as soon as she looked in the mirror, she was amazed by herself.

However, Qingwen has also seen beauties, not to mention far away, only the treasure girl and Lin girl in the house are the heavenly fragrance of the country, the ring is fat and thin, and each has its own beauty.

After Qingwen finished dressing up, she went to Mrs. Wang's main room, and at this time, Qiufu and Xuefu had already finished dressing up and were grooming Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang is a first-class lady, and her makeup is naturally not as simple as a maid like them, she has her own first-class order clothes and hair accessories, these clothes and accessories look dignified and elegant, exquisite and expensive, whether it is walking, sitting and kneeling, you can't find any shortcomings.

The only problem is that it is troublesome to wear, take Mrs. Wang as an example, it has taken half an hour for her to just comb her hair and put on this set of hair accessories that belong to her.

And this was done with the assistance of the two big maids around him and a bunch of small maids around him.

If Mrs. Wang is alone, I am afraid that she will not be able to comb this first-class woman's hair until dawn.

When Qingwen arrived, Mrs. Wang had already combed her hair, and Qiufu Xuefu was waiting for her top, and when she saw Qingwen coming, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be surprised by her beauty.

Mrs. Wang has always known that Qingwen is a beauty, and compared with her nephew Baochai and niece Daiyu, she is not far behind.

But in the past year, I have been accustomed to seeing Qingwen in plain clothes and no powder, so I am not particularly surprised by her beauty.

Unexpectedly, once Qingwen dressed up seriously, she was so gorgeous and dazzling, compared with her niece and niece, at least in appearance, she was just lacking a temperament that only a scholar could have.

If Qingwen was dressed so brightly on weekdays, Mrs. Wang might not be happy, maybe she was still wondering if she wanted to seduce her son.

But today is different, today is the day when his daughter returns to Ning, and the servants and maids at home are dressed up in bright and festive manners, which is to add luster to their precious daughter.

Besides, Qingwen is really plain in her dress on weekdays, so when Mrs. Wang saw her like this, after being amazed, she could only appreciate it.

After all, whether it is a man or a woman, it is human nature to love beautiful things, let alone a beautiful woman who combines thousands of beautiful things.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and called Qingwen to come and take a closer look.

When Qingwen was in the house, she still thought about whether she would catch Mrs. Wang's eyes when she was dressed like this, but when she arrived at the main room, she saw Qiu Fu Xuefu and the big and small maids, all of whom were dressed brightly, and when Mrs. Wang saw herself, her face was no different, so she put her mind at ease and let Mrs. Wang look at it generously.

Mrs. Wang saw that although Qingwen was dressed beautifully, she only had four hibiscus silk flowers on her head, which was too simple, and even the rough mother-in-law in her yard saw her in the morning, and she had two silver hairpins on her head.

Then he said to Qiu Fu: "Bring the pearl daffodil beads in the sandalwood box and put it on Qingwen, although she is also good-looking, but it is still too simple,"

When Qingwen heard this, she didn't expect that she had come to ask for peace, and she could actually get a reward, and Mrs. Wang would definitely be more generous than Baoyu when she made a move, so she hurriedly knelt down and thanked her, "Slave and maid thank Mrs. Xie for the reward." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Okay, get up quickly, it's just a pair of beaded flowers, what's worth it, besides, if you dress up, it will also add luster to me." ”

After listening to this, Qingwen also got up after thanking her again.

Qiu Fu brought the pearl flower, and Mrs. Wang pinned it for Qingwen, and Qingwen looked in the mirror by herself, and it really looked better than before.

The pearl flower is accompanied by the silk flower, which is neither too complicated nor as monotonous as before, and the luster of the pearl flows between the candlelight, which also fills Qingwen with two parts of smart and playful.

After Qingwen said goodbye to the beads, she stood aside and watched Xue Fu put on makeup for Mrs. Wang, who first evenly leveled Mrs. Wang's face with facial fat, massaged it for a while, and then put makeup powder on Mrs. Wang.

Qingwen saw that the powder, the grinding was extremely fine, and when it hit her face, it was like smoke and mist, which was far better than what she used on weekdays.

How can there be a woman who doesn't love cosmetics like rouge gouache, let alone a beauty like Qingwen, who pays more attention to these.

So when I saw Mrs. Wang's powder, I was stunned for a moment, thinking that when I got out of the house and made money, I would buy such a good makeup powder in the future.

Mrs. Wang is actually the first time to use such a good powder, which is an example of being used only after Yuan Chun added the back cover to Concubine De.

And this makeup powder is also a palace that only entered last year, it is said to be a tribute to Tubo Guo, although it is not as rare as Luozi Dai, only the queen concubine has it, but it is also a special supply in the palace, and it is only used above the concubine position, and there is no outside.

So today, Mrs. Wang is also the first time to use it, Mrs. Wang saw the envy of the people around her for her makeup powder, although she is already in her forties, but as a woman, her heart is still very useful.

On weekdays, Xuefu helps with makeup, and it's all good, but today I don't know why, maybe I'm too nervous, when I paint the thrush for Mrs. Wang, it's asymmetrical, and the eyebrows on both sides are very good-looking, but it's asymmetrical.

Xue Fu painted twice, but still didn't paint well, Mrs. Wang saw that Qingwen's eyebrows were well drawn, so she asked Xue Fu to step back, and said to Qingwen: "Today, your sister Xue Fu's hands are shaking, and you are about to paint my eyebrows into two caterpillars, and your sister Qiu Fu is not good at makeup, you come and paint it for me." ”

When Xue Fu heard this, she hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, but before she knelt down, she was called up by Mrs. Wang, "I don't dislike you, what are you kneeling for, don't get up quickly, don't stain your clothes." ”

When Xue Fu heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "What Mrs. said is that it was the slave and maid who were reckless today," and then gave up the position and gave it to Qingwen.

Qingwen carefully looked at Mrs. Wang's face, she should have a standard goose egg face when she was young, but when she got old, she devoted herself to worshipping Buddha and was a vegetarian all year round, her cheeks were much thinner, not too plump, and her chin was slightly pointed.

But on weekdays, Xuefu still draws crescent eyebrows suitable for her oval face, which makes her face more pointed, Qingwen today, plans to combine Mrs. Wang's face shape and draw her a curved eyebrow, which can reduce the sharpness of Mrs. Wang's chin, neutralize the hard lines of the whole face, and make the face look softer.

After painting her eyebrows, Mrs. Wang saw that she looked much more pleasing to the eye in the mirror than usual, so she ordered Qingwen to give her some lipstick and blush.

After Qingwen finished painting, Mrs. Wang saw herself in the mirror, and felt very different from usual, she looked a lot younger, and she was much more energetic, and she was even more satisfied with Qingwen in her heart, and then asked Qingwen to step down, and Xuefu and Qiufu came to change her clothes.

Qingwen used to only see Mrs. Wang and them put on the fateful clothes, and saw that although the clothes were beautiful, they were very complicated, and there should be several layers, but when I saw them today, I realized that I still underestimated the number of layers of this fateful suit, Qingwen counted fifteen layers carefully, and it took half an hour for Qiufu Xuefu and the two to serve Mrs. Wang to change clothes.

By the time Mrs. Wang had taken care of everything, it was time to get things right. Then Mrs. Wang took Qiu Fu Qingwen to Jia's mother's courtyard, leaving Xue Fu to guard the courtyard at home.

Because Mrs. Wang was delayed a little when she was thrushing, when she arrived at the Rongqing Hall where Jia's mother lived, Mrs. Xing and Grandma You from the Dongfu next door were already inside, all of them were waiting by Jia's mother's side.

After Qingwen and the others entered, they stood aside, and Mrs. Wang stepped forward to change Jia's mother's clothes, and when Grandma You saw Mrs. Wang coming, she got out of the way and went to sort out the accessories on Jia's mother, while Mrs. Wang took over from her and waited for Jia's mother to change her clothes together with Mrs. Xing. After Jia's mother finished changing clothes, the three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a meal, and after sitting down for a while, they were led by Jia's mother to wait outside the gate of Rongfu, while Jia Zhengbaoyu and others had already gone to wait outside the gate of West Street.

After waiting for most of the day, I suddenly saw a pair of red-clothed eunuchs coming slowly on horseback, and after getting off the horse, the horse was led away by the subordinates, and then he stood facing the west with his hands down, and the eunuch did not speak, just stood, like a wooden stake, Qingwen secretly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, but when she thought of what kind of occasion this was, she didn't dare to laugh anymore.

After a while, it was a pair again, and after a while, more than a dozen pairs came over, and then I heard faint music in Xifang.

Then there is a pair of dragons and phoenixes, and there are gold furnaces burning incense, and there are deacons and eunuchs holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargles, floating dust, etc., a pair of pairs are finished, and then it is convenient for eight eunuchs to carry a gold-topped golden embroidered phoenix version of the public opinion......

Qingwen followed Mrs. Wang, and the concubine went to the garden together, had dinner, and after a happy night in the evening, finally the concubine withdrew from everyone, leaving only Mrs. Wang and her confidant palace maid together, and entered the inner room together, Mrs. Wang brought the maid into the room together, including Qingwen.

Yuan Chun sat on the upper seat, Mrs. Jia sat below, and Qingwen and the others stood behind their sons.

A group of greetings had already passed when he entered the door, so as soon as he entered the house, Yuan Chun asked himself: "I don't know that Lingxiao colorful dress, my mother has found someone to make up for it, Your Majesty is already asking, my daughter has already resigned to Your Majesty several times, I'm afraid that after the province, I will have to dance for the emperor." ”

"Don't worry, the courtiers have already found someone to make it up, and it will definitely not delay your affairs." As she spoke, Qiu Fu came in from outside, carrying a tray covered with a red cloth, and Qingwen hurriedly took it and presented it to Concubine Yuan.
