Princess Yuanxiu

Chapter 126 Before the Lotus Mirror on Red Makeup

"The seat seems to have been opened?" Just as he approached Guanlan Tower, he heard bursts of sounds, mixed with the sound of silk bamboo in the middle. Yuan Xiu asked the servant downstairs, "Would you be there?"

The servant remembered that she was today's guest and said respectfully, "In the words of the Taoist priest, Sister Fang is now dressing up for the wife in the elegant room. Please go up to the third floor."

"Your wife's Feixia makeup hasn't been finished yet?" Yuan Xiu was stunned, and then nodded and said to Yunzhou, "Then let's go up." Originally, she had shown her identity in front of Du Furi and did not intend to pretend in front of the rest, but she did not expect that Wang would openly praise her for praying for her mother at this moment. In the end, she was more guilty, so she had to still be a Taoist priest.

Hearing that Yunzhou actually wanted to go upstairs to find Fang Niang, the corners of her mouth were skimmed, and her face was suddenly a little dissatisfied. She was about to keep up with Yuan Xiu's footsteps in front of her, but she heard Du's servant ask, "Dare to ask the Taoist priest, who is this girl?"

"She is a good friend of the 24th Niang of the Pei family. I heard that the 24th Niang came here specially." Yuanxiu casually dragged out Pei 24 Niang as an excuse. Then the Du family servant no longer asked for a reason. After entering the building, Yunzhou Fang said depressedly, "Sister Jiu, what identity do you have to dress up as such a shabby appearance? The Du family is low-sighted. When have we suffered such idleness? You even have to cross-examination when you bring someone in.

Yuan Xiu said, "That man may not be because of my simple dress. I'm afraid it's the first time he sees me and doesn't know his conduct."

The first and second floors of this Guanlan Building are very spacious, but the first floor is for the servants who come to the banquet. The second floor can watch the Qujiang River to accommodate today's guests. As for the third floor, there are several wings of light mackerel, like a rich family hall. Yuan Xiu and Yunzhou went upstairs and saw several shadows behind the curtain. A delicate voice asked gently through the curtain, "Who is it?"

The sound is like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley. I haven't seen anyone yet. I already feel sweet to the bone, but I feel extremely natural.

Yuan Xiu guessed that this person should be the wife said by Xiao Wu. There were four maids in colorful clothes outside the curtain. When he saw them, he whispered and first returned to the curtain and said, "My wife is an unknown female crown and an eye-eyed girl."

One of them went to the railing of the stairs and leaned down and said, "Where are Xiaoyue and Xiaowu? Didn't the two of them stay in the middle of the stairs and don't let unaired people come up?"

"This Taoist priest, today's third floor is specially for my wife. Please choose a seat downstairs." Another maid came over and bent her knees and said softly.

Yunzhou frowned, and Yuan Xiu said lightly, "The girl beside me accidentally put on her makeup. Twelve Lang said that she could come here to make up for it. Is he wrong?"

"Twelve Lang?" Although Yuanxiu did not add her surname, she said it so calmly. Naturally, these maids naturally understood that they were Du Shidi, one of today's masters. They looked at each other and were about to ask for instructions, but the woman behind the curtain smiled and even clapped her hands: "I heard that Twelve Lang was indifferent and didn't like to be close to people, but I didn't expect to be invited today. Among the guests, there are also girls he cares about! Su'e, why don't you come in quickly?"

Yunzhou frowned and said, "I don't know Du Twelve!"

"Hmm?" The maid named Su'e raised the curtain and invited them in. When she heard the words, Yuanxiu looked at her unexpectedly. Because the powder on Yunzhou's face was scratched, she didn't want to see more people, so she didn't ask Pei 24 Niang to accompany her. Naturally, she knew that with her plain linen clothes, Du Qi's favorite girl was not He was willing to help, so he had already made up his mind to use the name of Du Furi - anyway, when Xiaowu, the maid beside the woman, went to look for Fang Niang, she happened to hear that she was going to look for Du Furi, which was not easy to be exposed.

As for the rumors that can be caused afterwards, Du Fu is not famous in Chang'an. As long as no one knows his identity with Yunzhou, several of the children of Chang'an Wangzu are not extravagant. If they are not famous people in Chang'an, they may not even bother to talk about this little thing.

Yunzhou stared at her - Yuanxiu was dressed as a female crown at this moment, and her words were vague. I'm afraid that everyone who heard inside and outside the curtain at this moment thought that it was what Twelve Lang said to Yunzhou. After the woman in the curtain laughed, the four maids were calm, but they had already looked at Yunzhou.

She whispered, "Then you know Du Twelve, but I just saw the outline from afar. What are you doing to pull me out?"

"...go in." Yuanxiu is a little puzzled. She deliberately misleads only because she has reported the name of forgetfulness and is worried about damaging Xuanhong Yuanjun's reputation. Yunzhou is now dressed as an ordinary girl and sneaks out after finishing her makeup. Who can know who she is?

However, there was a voice from the curtain with someone covering his mouth and laughing: "If you don't know Twelve Lang, you don't know him. It's inevitable that there will be quarrels when you get along with him. The girl, the banquet below has been held, and soon the golden-waisted lady will come to dance with a green waist. If you don't come in quickly to make up your makeup and watch it by mistake, it will be a pity!"

Yunzhou not only didn't believe this person, but also persuaded her. Her face suddenly sank, but Yuan Xiu had already pulled her into the curtain. However, behind the curtain, there was a huge multi-food-style felt blanket. The scarlet background was woven with bead-winged animal patterns wrapped around the four corners, but in the middle was a huge purple mandala flower. The petals were tired and gorgeous, almost suppressed the scarlet background color.

The utensils placed on the felt blanket are also very windy. There is a three-foot-high passion flower bronze mirror on the right side of the wall. There is a small red sandalwood inlaid coral beads on the mirror, piled with a lot of fat and tooth powder, and several combs of different textures and golden grits are scattered at will.

Several low couches were surrounded by the felt, and two of them sat on each other. Four or five maids were surrounded by them with a smile, and Fang Niang was also among them. She was slightly surprised to see Yuan Xiu, and then returned to normal.

Among them, the woman near the stairs is about 16 or 17 years old. Her face is like a full moon. She is very beautiful and has strict makeup - her eyebrows and tails are shaved, but the front end is deliberately drawn with a pen, but it is the Guiye eyebrows in the most popular eyebrow makeup. She wears Feixia makeup on her face, and there are two kinds of Feixia makeup, one is shallow. Zhu, apply white again. The pink covers the previous vermilion. Looking at it like this, there is a sense of red in white, and the color is light, as natural; the other is white. The powder is first mixed with rouge, and then the color is evenly changed to white red, and then applied to both cheeks.

This kind of makeup is lighter than wine makeup, peach blossom makeup and dizzy makeup. It is often used by women and is the most common kind of red makeup. Without oblique red, she only has a light concubine-shaped plum-shaped face on both cheeks. The opposite of the facial makeup is her lip makeup. A little red color is in the middle of her lips, and the color is bright and bright. As a dewdrop style, it is more eye-catching, and she can't help but look at it a few more.

The woman was combed with a single snail bun on her head, decorated with pearls, and her eyebrows were fan-shaped. She was wearing an apricot red beaded flower tree against the deer spring shirt, with a coral string around her neck, and two pairs of jade bracelets on her arms. She was looking at them with a smile.

Sitting behind her was a younger girl, almost the same age as Yunzhou. Even if she sat on the low couch, her waist was still straight. Looking at her, she didn't seem to be nervous. She seemed to be used to it. The girl wore an extremely complicated four-ring fairy bun, with bright pearls on it, dressed extremely grandly, and her eyebrows The flowers in the shape of willow leaves, her eyebrows are green, her lips are Tiangongqiao, the new moon is oblique red and apricot, but her face makeup is the thickest wine halo makeup in red makeup. Her cheeks are painted red, like wine burning. Her body is only wears a long piece of primrose as light as tender ginger, and a pair of small seams at intervals. The small silver bell, embroidered with various flowers with gold and silver silk thread in the middle, but only the emerald Aipu's waist on a pomegranate red background, tied with six light concubine-colored brocade skirts. Although the long silk is wrapped around the shoulders and arms, you can still clearly see the exquisite curves.

The woman who made Feixia makeup is the so-called wife of Du Qijinwu, and the girl who is similar to Yunzhou's age is not like everyone's daughter. Yuanxiu and Yunzhou frowned secretly after seeing it clearly.

Then he heard the woman smile and said, "My concubine has copper, mouth fat, yellow powder, purple snow, red snow, fat powder, etc. Please take it with this girl at will."

Yunzhou was not polite. He said "thank you" lightly, put down the veil covering his face, sat in front of the bronze mirror, carefully looked at what the woman said first, curled the corners of his mouth, and seemed to be a little disgusted. Then he reached out and took a few boxes of rouge-like things. The woman reminded him, "Girl, this section Do you seem to use palace powder for makeup? This rouge was bought in the West, which seems to be different from the color of the rouge on your face, or mixed with some white. Do you want to try it?"

Yuan Xiu raised his hand and opened a box of white. Fan, just as she was about to help, Yunzhou pushed her away uneasiness and said, "Your methods of adjusting these are not as good as mine!" Yuan Xiu had to stop his hand and watch herself busy.

Yunzhou took a little white. Powder, then added rouge, reconciled for a long time, and compared it to the mirror. The woman suddenly frowned. The woman had already seen it, shook her head and smiled, "No, this color is too dark." She stood up with a smile, took off the brocade on her arm and handed it to the maid behind her. She smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult to make up for the girl's makeup. Don't take the time to paint it again."

"My maid is not here. Who here is good at putting on makeup?" Yunzhou threw away a golden grate angrily. Her temper was not very good, but many of the Chang'an girls were so arrogant and domineering. The woman didn't care about it and only said, "If the girl still wants to make up, just give it to my concubine."

Yunzhou heard Yuanxiu say that someone was good at makeup in Guanlanlou, and she didn't notice that Yuanxiu was talking about a maid at that time. She just thought it was the person in front of her. She was nodding her head, but she saw the woman with a cunning smile and said, "However, I look at the girl's appearance. Why don't you try... blood dizzy makeup? ?"

"Blood halo makeup?" Yunzhou wondered, "Is that makeup too vulgar?"

Yuan Xiu looked at the lady with disapproval.

"The so-called vulgarity depends on who uses it. If blood and halo makeup is placed on ordinary people's faces, it must be difficult to stand out, but you are born bright and fit gorgeous makeup. If you don't believe it, can you try to put on makeup first?" The woman covered her sleeves and smiled and explained, "Girl, your dizzy makeup is made by finely applying light-colored powder. Looking at the cheeks, it is red and natural, but the concubine thinks that the girl's age and beauty, even if she washes the powder with water, she must be as beautiful as peach blossoms, so the makeup is actually not What's the difference between it and plain?"

However, from the age of eight to 80, women do not like to listen to praise their excellent appearance. What's more, Yunzhou was born beautiful. Even if she knew that Yuanxiu was here, this woman was mostly a compliment, and she couldn't help but look down. She had a good impression of her, but she was still hesitant and said, "Since makeup is not as good as plain face, blood and My dress doesn't fit?"

When the woman heard the words, she looked at the Hu clothes on her body, turned her eyes and asked the maid behind her, "Can you bring that set of purple-embroidered four-butterfly flowers and golden skirt?" With that, he explained to Yunzhou, "This dress has not been made yet. If the girl doesn't mind..."

"Thank you very much, this lady, but she is not used to wearing clothes outside." Yuanxiu refused without waiting for Yunzhou's interface this time. Yunzhou showed a slight irritation, but then understood what she meant. Of course, the woman in front of her was clever and did not make her feel disgusted, but anyway, she was just a favorite girl of a son of a family. She lost her makeup and borrowed a place to clean it up again. Jinzhi Yuye would actually wear a girl. The concubine's dress, even if it is new, is too ridiculous.
