Du Biao?
It’s Du Biao again!
Liu Zheng's heart trembled, as if he was facing a formidable enemy, but he immediately raised his glass and drank with him from afar.
"Brother Liu, can you see the beauty on the Orchid Fragrance Class float?"
Zheng Yueru said from the side.
Liu Zheng nodded. There were more than a dozen people on the float, but the most eye-catching one was a beautiful woman among them. Even from a distance, her skin was like jade, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, like a red lotus emerging from the water. , unlimited charm. At a glance, one could tell that this woman was definitely not from this flower house. Like Shen Manqing, she was probably the kind of woman who came from a wealthy family and ended up like this when her family was in trouble.
"This girl has a high reputation for winning the championship this year. She is the daughter of the former minister of the Ministry of War. She was blamed for the defeat in the border war and she retreated from negotiations to seek peace. Xiao Ruozhi was bought by the Baiya Army at a special cost. This is the oiran meeting! Xiao Ruozhi is also a well-known talented girl in Beijing, with excellent piano skills. She was once as good as Miss Manqing."
Zheng Yuru said eloquently.
Liu Zheng smiled after hearing this. The war in the north has been tense this year. The Xiongnu from both the East and West are attacking each other. The Longyan Dynasty is tired of dealing with it. In the end, it can only humiliate and sue for peace and pay compensation. It seems that the Minister of War is the one who went to sue for peace. He will still be able to come back. good? No matter how the people give in, the court can only let him take the blame and distribute the border.
"So, she is Manqing's biggest rival this time?"
Liu Zheng smiled.
Zheng Yueru said: "This year's oiran competition is extraordinary. The Queen is very interested in this year's oiran competition. Maybe if Xiao Ruozhi wins the first prize, she will be able to please the Queen!"
Liu Zheng glanced at Zheng Yueru and smiled bitterly in his heart. It seems that Zheng Yueru still thinks that the empress from the Zheng family is a kindhearted mother who respects the world. But Liu Zheng couldn't really tell Zheng Yueru about the assassination.
at this time.
"The oiran from Fengming Tower is here!"
"Fengming Tower, everyone, look! It's Miss Manqing!"
At this time, Fengminglou's float arrived belatedly, and many Shen Manqing's fans in Liangzhou became excited and waved their arms.
"Eh? Why are the courtesans in Fengming Tower different today?"
"Ah, they are not dressed up!"
"What's going on? Isn't it a dress-up rehearsal?"
However, when people looked carefully, they found that none of the Fengminglou girls on today's float had that pink blush on their faces, no blood-red lips, and no frighteningly white faces - this was probably The common impression of courtesans in the 1960s.
Everyone was stunned.
"This, this, this..."
"Absolutely not. The night wind is so cold. Wouldn't it destroy these faces?"
"Then why are the red lips pink and fluorescent?"
People were dumbfounded. They were dressed up for rehearsing without heavy makeup. What was Fengming Tower doing? However, looking at it this way, these oirans still have faces as beautiful as jade, delicate and beautiful, and they are still charming and charming.
This is another masterpiece of Liu Zheng.
After much thought, he could only make some efforts in this area. The level of makeup in ancient times... was simply appalling. Lips were dotted with cinnabar, powder was applied on the face, and arsenic was even used as foundation to whiten the skin. Isn't this a joke?
The key is that when dressed like this, each face looks frighteningly white.
Although it is said in ancient times that one white color can cover up a thousand ugliness, what is the use of such unnatural white color?
There is no need to say more about rouge. In ancient times, rouge must be coated with a layer of lead powder... Arsenic or lead powder, which one is not fatal? Then add some yellow forehead, thrush... a grimace, and it just appeared.
Then why don’t you use your own daily necessities?
There are lipsticks, there are lip balms, there are skin care products!
Even when we make tofu, there are countless products made into soy milk, tofu curd, and stinky tofu. These products can be used for makeup to look more natural, and can even highlight a woman's round or graceful contours. .
In this way, a group of plain-faced beauties appeared.
"boom!"
The whole place was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.
"this……"
"How can you play like this!"
"Is Fengming Tower really not afraid of losing?"
This is really not in line with their aesthetics! The crowd was angry. One by one they yelled angrily.
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Liu, look, I said this is not allowed..."
Liu Zheng, however, didn't take it seriously and said with a faint smile: "Why not? After ten layers of armor are swept away from the face, the eyebrows will not be hateful. When the dust is washed away from the chest, the words will feel meaningful. Miss Zheng, what is beauty?"
Zheng Yueru was stunned for a moment, her eyes lit up as she read Liu Zheng's words.
Liu Zheng laughed and said: "The He family's jade is not decorated with five colors, and the Sui Marquis' pearls are not decorated with silver. Their beauty is not enough to be decorated with objects. Don't you think that if we just pretend to be like those flower houses and follow the crowd, we will be the best." Have you really fallen into the inferior category?"
"But, but Brother Liu..."
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly: "Man Qing..."
Liu Zheng smiled confidently: "I have a way for her to win!"
Du Biao over there saw that the scene was plunged into chaos and abuse due to the appearance of the Fengming Tower oiran. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This Mr. Liu really has no time to spare! Although I also think that the oiran looks like this at this time. , a bit real and beautiful, but but..."
The servants laughed.
They all thought it was because Liu Zheng felt that there was no chance of winning after seeing Xiao Ruozhi's style, so he took the initiative to admit defeat.
"Hahahaha, does he really want this kind of makeup?"
Guo Yu over there was also laughing so hard that he fell on his back.
"Mr. Guo, this Dandy from the Liu family will definitely offend the Queen!"
The ancients valued etiquette the most. How could she not blame you for being rude when you greet the Queen without a face?
"No, why doesn't Fengminglou's float smell like powder?"
At this moment, people suddenly realized a problem.
Not only that, there is no overpowering smell of powder, but there is also a rose fragrance that hits your nostrils. Everyone was immediately shocked and searched for the source of the smell. After a while, they determined that the faint fragrance came from the oiran of Fengming Tower and came with the wind!
Now everyone was stunned.
In this era, people have no concept of whether the body smells good or smells bad. In a place like Liangzhou, who can take a bath several times a year? Since this oiran is in the leather and meat business, she usually uses pig pancreas to bathe, and then uses powdered rouge to cover up the smell of pig pancreas. Therefore, most of the pink-headed oirans have a strong fragrance, and people take it for granted.
But today...
The fragrance tickled the nostrils and was as elegant as water. The people who had been uttering dirty words just now were fascinated for a moment and closed their mouths one after another.
"What does this smell like?"
"Could this be femininity?"
As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter.
But I have to say that Liu Zheng's move today was indeed a bit amazing. The most natural is the most feminine, especially compared with those ancient cosmetics that were thick and powdery and only focused on color and no regard for flavor. At this time, the smell of soap is already delicious.
nature.
In today's dress rehearsal, what he wanted to highlight was his naturalness.
Although, he knew that it would definitely be unrealistic to completely change the aesthetics of the ancients. But he also wanted to tell them that real beauty, at least real beauty on the outside, should not be attributed to those thick and poisonous powders, but to the woman herself.
He also wants to tell people that different outfits and different temperaments are the real beauty.
Right now.
A ding-dong sound.
On the float, Shen Manqing, surrounded by girls, sat beside the piano and played the piano with her hands.
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
The song "Snow in front of Tangli" resounded throughout the rehearsal, and everyone's eyes were attracted to the alluring Shen Manqing.
Is she beautiful?
beautiful!
This is unquestionable and everyone has to admit it.
Is it beautiful today?
When the song "Tangli Qianxue" played, people had forgotten to debate this issue. From beginning to end, this piece of music is filled with a few flakes of falling snow, a few pear leaves, the color of lightly twisting grass, half-grown wind and snow... but it is so beautiful and refined, elegant and unique, lingering and pathos, and moving.
Just like Shen Manqing at this time.
No exaggerated makeup, no heavy makeup.
She smiled and felt the breeze blowing on her face.
When she sang, she was melodious and melodious.
At this time, other courtesans from Fengming Tower were already sitting around, listening.
People are crazy to hear and crazy to watch.
New music, old people, the fragrance blows.
The curses and questions stopped abruptly.
It seems that the appearance at this time is worthy of such a divine song.
"OK!"
"good!"
"This song should only be heard in heaven. How many times can we hear it in the human world! The Manchu girl is so talented! She is so beautiful!"
"reward!"
The scene exploded with a bang, and all the literati and poets went crazy, shaking their heads.
Guo Yu was dumbfounded.
Du Biao was stunned.
This is the first rehearsal. Are you, Fengminglou, working so hard?
How can anyone play with this!
Zheng Yueru also stared blankly at Liu Zheng next to her, her wry smile never stopping.
It turns out that Mr. Liu really treats every performance as an advertisement, as he said.
…
"Don't squeeze!"
"I came here first! If I can't buy soap today, my wife won't let me sleep!"
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, it's all there!"
Here, the first rehearsal of the Oiran Club has not yet ended, and the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce store is already overcrowded. I don’t know who revealed it, but the reason why the courtesan at Fengming Tower has such a natural floral fragrance is because she uses soap from the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce!
Isn't this person crazy?
Shen Manqing over there had just finished singing and was already running here to buy like crazy.
For a time, soap became a hotly discussed word among people.
"Did you buy the soap?"
"Hahahahaha, I bought three yuan!"
"I like the scent of peonies the most! I took a shower yesterday, and my husband was like, oh, I'm so embarrassed..."
"After using soap, I realized that I used to smell bad, which is disrespectful and disrespectful!"
"Each other..."
At first, this situation was only spread among the rich, young masters and wealthy daughters. Later, the common people also discovered that it turned out that the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce had prepared soap that they could afford!
Ten bucks each!
This allows ordinary people to follow the trend. Although it doesn't have the fragrance of flowers, it is refreshing after washing. There is no longer the greasy smell of pig's milk.
There was a refreshing no-makeup trend in the audience!
…
"I'm so angry, so angry!"
When Guo Yu returned home, he was very angry: "Today's limelight was all snatched away by Fengming Tower!"
"Sir, this Liu family dude doesn't play by the rules!"
"That's right..."
"How about tomorrow, we also let the oirans show themselves naked, which will surely amaze the whole city!"
"good!"
…
Du Biao's side.
Back in her Lanxiang class, Xiao Ruozhi had already walked over.
Du Biao smiled bitterly and asked, "What do Ruozhi think of Shen Manqing?"
Xiao Ruozhi smiled slightly: "The third head of the family, Miss Manqing has superb piano skills, and she is indeed worthy of being called everyone!"
Du Biao sighed: "Doesn't that mean that we have no hope in this oiran meeting?"
Xiao Ruozhi smiled faintly: "Not really, as the third master of the family, since the master of Fengming House wears no makeup, why not let Ruozhi try it tomorrow?"
"good!"
…
However, the dress rehearsal on the second day.
Everyone was stupid again.
Today, the float from Fengming Tower arrived first.
What about the bare face you promised?
Why are you all dressing up again? And today, the girls of Fengming Tower are all dressed up. They are decorated with everything that can be decorated, such as yellow forehead, dark eyebrows, red lips, powder, earrings, necklaces...
luxurious!
gorgeous!
Although Liu Zheng has improved a lot, her appearance and formation are no worse than those of the concubines in the palace.
Guo Yu vomited blood.
Du Biao also vomited blood.
Uncle's!
No one is allowed to play anymore!
They didn't know that what Liu Zheng planned to promote today was perfume.
How can this kind of luxury product be achieved without a luxury brand?
