Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking through the bronze mirror, Xiaoyue applied hair oil on her head, then licked it left and right, and praised her hair volume and quality from time to time. After more than 20 minutes, she poured out her hair. A, um... bow appears on Yan's head?
It's similar to the one on Bai Suzhen's head, but a smaller version with two more hairpins.
Qingyan shook it slightly. Not to mention, it was quite strong and didn't fall apart.
When she first saw this look in the bronze mirror, to be honest, Qingyan was a little embarrassed, but luckily her looks were good enough to withstand the beating.
Later, after Xiaoyue braided the hair below and combed it, it looked much better.
It is worth mentioning that you should not think that ancient bronze mirrors are the kind that reflect people hazily. This is not the case at all. This bronze mirror is polished extremely smooth. Except for the yellowish and distorted skin color of the person in the photo, the rest of it is It's quite clear.
Of course, it is impossible to see a person's pores with a mercury mirror. In addition, the light in the room is not very good, so it is enough for hair and makeup.
After finishing her hairstyle, Qingyan stood up and took two steps back. She looked at her upper body from a little distance from the bronze mirror, feeling that it seemed a bit inconsistent.
I looked down at my clothes and realized that my clothes didn't quite match my hairstyle.
This hairstyle is very delicate and the hairpin is a bit gorgeous, and she is wearing clothes that are designed to facilitate movement. The top is a short top with a slanted front, and the bottom is a skirt, but the skirt only reaches above the ankles. A pleated skirt with panties underneath.
There was nothing we could do about it. As a farmer, Grandma Lanhua only knew some simple needlework, so she could only make this kind of clothes.
Qingyan taught them the style of pleated skirt made from this skirt, and it looks a bit more refined. If it were according to their habits, it would be directly cylindrical, like an apron.
In addition, there is no embroidery on the clothes, so they look very simple.
Xiaoyue also noticed it. Just when she was about to say something, she heard a voice calling Xiaoyue from outside.
Xiaoyue apologized to Qingyan and hurried out. After a while, she came in from outside, holding a pile of clothes in her hand, with embroidered shoes and some jewelry on them.
Seeing that Qingyan was a little confused, Xiaoyue smiled and explained her confusion: "Miss, Manager Zhang sent this to me. He said that Madam knew that you didn't bring any change of clothes, so she specially prepared them for you.
It's just that there is no lady in the house now, so there is no ready-made clothes. This dress is a ready-made one bought from an embroidery shop outside. I don't know if it will fit. Miss, try it on first. If it doesn't fit, my slave will change it for you. "
Qingyan looked at the white and lavender clothes, smiled and nodded, "Mrs. Lao is thinking about it."
After going to the screen with Xiaoyue, he asked her to help change into clothes.
It wasn't that she didn't want to wear it herself. Looking at the pieces of cloth, except for the bellyband and underwear, she didn't know where to start.
When she took off her clothes and exposed the girl's underwear underneath, Xiaoyue asked a little strangely, "Is this the bellyband sewn by the lady herself? What kind of material is it? It's really close-fitting."
Qingyan nodded sheepishly, "I did it myself. It's easier to walk outside."
She really couldn't get used to wearing this ancient bellyband. It was no different than not wearing it, it just had an extra layer of cloth, so she still wore the underwear she brought and then put on an outer layer. It was safe and cool. Save wearing so many layers.
When Xiaoyue spread out the clothes and put them on layer by layer, Qingyan finally understood why young ladies in ancient times liked to stay in front of the house and have to have maids to take care of them.
These clothes are really cumbersome. Some are tied at the back, some are tied at the sides, and some are in the front. They have three layers inside and three layers outside. This is a summer dress. Needless to say, you can cover your head when you go out. If you break out in a sweat, you don't have to stay indoors, it can also be cooler.
But it’s really good-looking. With so many layers stacked up, the clothes are very elegant on the body. The style of the clothes is that of the Tang Dynasty, but it is not as exposed as on TV, at least the chest is not that exposed. Low, just below the collarbone.
In addition, the fabric is very thin. Even though I wear it in several layers, it is not heavy at all. Of course, it is still hot because it is not very breathable.
Fortunately, it was morning now. It would probably be too hot at noon, but the style was still worthy of praise. The embroidered shoes were a bit big, so Xiaoyue had to sew two stitches on the heels to make them suitable.
And the other party was very thoughtful. Not only did he have clothes, shoes and jewelry, but he also had a round fan and a set of patterns for his clothes.
This ancient woman is still very good at dressing up. She has thought of all aspects. The clothes on her body are not embroidered with very complicated flowers, but there is a circle of lotus embroidered on the piping. The jewelry also has a lotus head and face, and the earrings are all, but it is a pity that Qingyan She didn't have her ears pierced because she was afraid of pain.
The round fan was also embroidered with the moonlight of the lotus pond, which was very delicate. Qingyan liked it so much that she kept holding it in her hand and turning it over and over.
When I went to look in the mirror again, I was immediately shocked by my own appearance. I saw a girl standing tall and graceful in the bronze mirror. Her facial features were exquisite and her hair style looked cute and delicate. She was standing there holding a round fan, perfectly Just an ancient charming lady.
Sure enough, people still have to rely on clothes. No matter how good their appearance is, without gorgeous clothes and jewelry, it will lose a lot of color. Such an outfit, coupled with the bright color of the clothes, suits her appearance very well.
Qingyan's appearance is not the Xiaojiabiyu type, and she has inherited the advantages of her parents. Her mother's appearance is more delicate, while her father has thick eyebrows, big eyes, thin lips and fair skin, which makes her look very aristocratic.
The bridge of her nose follows her father's tallness, her nose follows her mother's delicate and small shape, her lips follow her mother's small cherry mouth, unlike her father's thin lips, her thick eyebrows, big eyes and slightly deep eye sockets follow her father's. Overall, she has some A mixed feeling.
She heard from her mother that her father's ancestors did seem to have mixed blood. It was said that her father's great-great-grandfather went overseas and married a mixed-race daughter-in-law. So although it has been diluted over many generations, it still has some influence.
Although it is the fifth generation now, it is not that long since the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many mixed-race people, so Qingyan's appearance is not very eye-catching.
There were still many Hu Ji at this time, but most of them lived in some noble families and could not be married to ordinary people. Therefore, when many people saw Qingyan's appearance, they immediately thought that she was everyone's lady. Here too, this appearance plays a big part.
Seeing Xiaoyue picking up the set of clothes she changed into and preparing to wash them, Qingyan originally wanted to stop her, saying that the clothes were clean and did not need to be washed.
Thinking about it later, it was wrong. Xiaoyue knew that she didn't bring any luggage. In her eyes, the clothes were worn all day yesterday and they must be washed. She simply didn't say anything and let her wash them.
It won't be a problem to wash it again. The weather is very nice today, so it will probably dry in a while.
At this time, another little maid came over, also from Mrs. Xue's side, named Xiaoju.
Xiaoju bowed to Qingyan and said, "Miss Qingyan, Madam asked your servant to come over and invite you to come to the main courtyard to have breakfast together."
Xiaoyue still had to guard this courtyard and could not leave at will, so Qingyan followed Xiaoju.
But before leaving, I went behind the screen again, took my satchel, and first looked at the style and fabric. I felt that it didn’t match the clothes I was wearing, but I couldn’t just throw the little leopard around in the room. Also troublesome.
Finally, after thinking about it, Chou Chou took out a piece of white muslin from the space, tied it on both sides, and made a simple backpack, which matched well with the white and lavender clothes on his body.
Although it is still a bit abrupt, it is not so conspicuous, at least it does not look like a beautiful lady carrying a broken bag.
Xiaoju and Xiaoyue felt a little strange when they saw Qingyan coming out with a satchel on her back, but they figured there must be something important inside, so they didn't say anything else.
After all, when you are a guest at someone else's house, you really need to carry some things with you. It's not good to just leave them anywhere. If they disappear later, it will be bad for both parties.
Qingyan followed Xiaoju out of the guest courtyard door, turned left, and walked toward the main courtyard to the east.
We had already visited once yesterday. Although it was at night, Qingyan still observed it.
The two courtyards are not far apart, but the door opens in different directions. To be precise, the guest courtyard and the main courtyard are actually separated by a wall, but one door opens to the southeast and the other opens to the southwest. , so there is still a small distance in between.
Saying it is separated by a wall does not mean that it is separated from the master bedroom by a wall. You must know that the main courtyard also has several rooms. There is an open space between the house and the wall with some flowers, plants and trees planted on it, so to be precise , if there is any movement in the two courtyards, it is really hard to hear unless it is particularly loud.
When the two of them arrived at the main courtyard, they were taken to the flower hall of the main room by another maid.
After entering the room, he turned around the screen and saw Xue Minghua, two children and a middle-aged woman sitting on a square dining table. There was also a large Eight Immortals table in the room, which should be used when there are many people.
Xue Minghua and the two children have already changed their clothes, and the mother and daughter's hair is also neatly combed.
Qingyan found that Huan'er's bun was similar to her own, except that she didn't have as many hairpins as her own. She just had two strings of small bells on both sides, which made her look cuter.
In addition, Huan'er also followed the good qualities of her parents and had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Standing next to Qingyan, those who didn't know better thought they were biological sisters.
Mrs. Xue stood up as soon as she saw Qingyan. Xue Minghua also remembered, but her legs were inconvenient and she did not put the crutch beside her. She just stood up holding the table.
At this time, Qingyan had been pulled to the table by Mrs.
There was no maid left in the house to wait on her. I think the two of them must have said something private before.
Mrs. Xue sat at the main seat, with Xue Minghua on her right and Qingyan pulled to the left. Between Qingyan and Xue Minghua were two children, and a square table was fully occupied.
Mrs. Xue held Qingyan's hand and never let go, and said to her lovingly: "I heard from Minghua, your surname is also Xue, right? Then we should be considered the same family, since you and Minghua have the same surname. , then you can call me auntie, okay? I think Minghua’s father should be a little taller than your father."
Qingyan thought about it and it was really possible. At least Xue Minghua was older than her, and he also had an older brother. Even if he got married early in ancient times, he should be slightly older than her parents.
Qingyan smiled and nodded: "Then I'll call you Auntie. Auntie can just call me Qingyan or Yanyan, that's what everyone in the family calls me."
Next, Mrs. Xue solemnly thanked Qingyan for bringing her daughter and grandchildren back.
She also heard her daughter talk about the situation there. Although her daughter didn't explain it too clearly, there was something she didn't understand about a woman who could make up her mind to divorce and drag an injured leg.
She asked the doctor at the house to examine her daughter last night. The doctor said that the leg was not broken by herself, but was broken by someone!
Who else could it be? It must be the ex-son-in-law who deserves to be killed by a thousand cuts!
Although her daughter didn't quite understand what she said, she would not let that man go. The Xue family would not suffer the loss of being dumb. Even if they didn't let him die, they would still have to let him peel off!
And in this way, she was even more grateful to Qingyan. If the other party hadn't acted righteously, they wouldn't have known that her daughter would have died outside.
She has two sons, but this daughter has been pampered and pampered since she was a child. However, she was a little naive because of the pampering. Otherwise, she would not have ditched her entourage for fun and sneaked out and been kidnapped.
Although her daughter is back now, she still has injuries from dragging her along, which makes her feel extremely uncomfortable.
At first, she heard from her daughter that Qingyan was also a little girl walking outside by herself. She was still a little angry, but nothing else. She was afraid that this was another little girl with the same temperament as her daughter, and by then it would be too late if something happened.
But when her daughter talked about Qingyan's care for them all the way and her superior martial arts, she changed her mind.
He also talked about his daughter, look at her, she is also a maverick little girl, but she also knows how to learn martial arts, and only goes out to fight when she can protect herself, unlike her, who knows nothing and dares to go out on her own. run!
If it hadn't been too late yesterday, Mrs. Xue would have scolded her daughter all night.
Mrs. Xue still loves her grandson and grandson's daughter very much. They all look like the old Xue family, not their father who killed a thousand swordsmen. He can be regarded as loving the house and the bird.
The reason why the whole family didn't get together to eat this morning was because Mr. Xue had to make some arrangements for his daughter before announcing it to the public.
The son is not afraid, but he is afraid of what the daughter-in-law might think, so he still has to make arrangements.
