Chapter 189 A daughter of the Li family grows up, Li Shuwan puts on makeup
Hongfunu hired the most famous comb worker in Chang'an City for her daughter.
In ancient times, comb work was a profession. When their daughters got married, wealthy families would hire them to dress their daughters when they got married.
As soon as the sky in the east turned pale, Li Shuwan was urged to get up by the maid.
She rubbed her eyes, sat on the bed, and just wanted to fall asleep. She was too sleepy.
Last night, when I was sleeping, it seemed like a rooster crowed.
This is too painful.
"Madam Yumeji has been waiting for a long time. Miss, please get up quickly. I heard that Madam Yumeji has the most exquisite craftsmanship in Chang'ancheng and can make even ugly girls look beautiful."
"Young lady, you are so beautiful. If you are dressed like Madam Yu Meiji again, you will surely amaze the whole Chang'an City. When the time comes, my uncle will be directly fascinated by you under the hem of your skirt..."
The maid Qingxiu stood beside the bed and talked nonstop.
"Qingxiu, give me a basin of cold water..."
Hearing that Yu Meiji was going to dress her up as the most beautiful bride in Chang'an City, Li Shuwan's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
Why did she marry the King of Shu?
Isn't it just to torture him?
If you don't dress up as the most beautiful woman in Nagaan City, how can you seduce him, how can you torture him, how can you make people bow down under your pomegranate skirt and let her slaughter her?
Dress up, you must dress up.
With a cold face, Li Shuwan woke up in shock and followed the maid Qingxiu to the dressing room.
At this moment, in the dressing room, there was a glazed mirror with a gold rim. The mirror was polished brightly. Standing in front of the glazed mirror, it was as if a living person had entered the mirror.
There is a clothes hanger made of mahogany in the distance, and hanging on the clothes hanger is an extremely beautiful hairpin dress.
This is the dress worn by noble ladies in the Tang Dynasty when attending important ceremonies. Of course, they also wore this kind of dress when they got married, but mainly in red.
The flower hairpin ceremonial dress consists of a flower hairpin crown, a wide-sleeved brocade garment, a brocade skirt, and a painted scarf. After wearing it, the whole body is covered with flowers, making it gorgeous, solemn and luxurious.
Yu Meiji is a middle-aged lady who still retains her charm. At this moment, she is standing in front of the glass mirror, looking at it constantly. She covers her mouth in surprise and does not dare to get close to the glass mirror.
However, looking at the clear image of herself that looked like a real person, Yu Meiji was still extremely proud.
A woman's body is her capital. Although she is a mature lady, her charm is still there. It is more than enough to marry into a wealthy family.
"Squeak..."
The door was opened, and Qingxiu led Li Shuwan into the room. Yu Meiji quickly recovered her mind, bowed slightly and said, "I have met Miss Li."
"I've met Mrs. Yu!" Li Shuwan also bowed slightly with a smile on her face.
Yu Meiji looked at Li Shuwan carefully and said with a smile: "Ms. Li is really pretty. I comb the hair of wealthy ladies in Chang'an City, and I don't have a thousand to eight hundred. There is absolutely no lady who can compare with you."
"Miss Yu Meiji is really good at complimenting people, let's get started!"
"Hey, okay, today, I will make the young lady the most beautiful bride in Chang'an City."
"Miss, please take off your coat and let's start taking a bath!"
Li Shuwan nodded and went behind the screen to take off her clothes.
In the bathtub surrounded by a green gauze curtain, the maids immediately added hot water, which was steaming with smoke.
Yu Meiji took out the rose petals she had just picked in the morning and was about to scatter them into the bathtub when she was stopped by the maid Qingxiu.
"Ms. Yu, my lady doesn't need flower petals to incense, she can just use soap."
"Come here, bring the soap for Miss' bath."
The maid waiting at the door immediately went to get a wooden box. When the wooden box was opened, a fresh fragrance immediately came out.
Yu Meiji, who was still dissatisfied at first, couldn't help but her eyes lit up, this stuff smells so good.
"This is……"
The maid Qingxiu smiled proudly and said: "The prince made this for my young lady. It is very precious, but it can still open your eyes."
Yu Meiji took the soap with trembling hands. It was silky and cool, and the fragrance instantly spread to her nose, as if she was in a world surrounded by flowers.
Yu Meiji slowly closed her eyes. If she had such a magical bathing device, the price of her craftsmanship would be at least ten times higher.
It's just a pity that such divine objects were made by the prince himself for the princess, and ordinary people like her cannot obtain them.
"Qingxiu, is the water ready? I'm ready."
"Miss, it's okay, it's okay!"
Li Shuwan wore a coat, walked out from behind the screen, got under the gauze curtain, took off her coat, and got into the steaming tub.
Qingxiu took the soap, put it into a special soap mesh bag, and went to bathe the young lady herself.
Yu Meiji stood outside, looking at the tall glass mirror, smelling the scent of soap, and sighed secretly.
It was rumored outside that Li Jing was an upright official with a clean mind. He didn't expect his family to be so luxurious.
She had never seen this glazed mirror even in the queen's palace, let alone the homes of other nobles.
This must be the handiwork of the prince. Yu Meiji secretly made up her mind. No matter what, she would satisfy the princess today. If she could get this glass mirror and soap in the future, she would be rich.
Finally, half an hour later, Li Shuwan finished washing, dried her hair, and sat in front of the fitting mirror.
"Miss, why don't you bring the dressing box that the prince gave you? If you don't need it today, then when will you use it?" Qingxiu said in a low voice.
Li Shuwan nodded. Ever since she got the dressing box, she has never been willing to use it. Today is the biggest thing in her life. If she doesn't use it, when will she use it?
A large box was opened, with a glass mirror on one side and various toiletries, compacts, brushes, eyebrow ink, rouge, lipstick, eyebrow razors on the other side...
You can get whatever you want, and even some things are simply not available in this era.
"I don't know how to use these things. I hope you can teach me today, Mrs. Yu!" Li Shuwan said very sincerely.
Yu Meiji: "..."
Yu Meiji was silent for a long time, and almost burst into tears.
She is the number one weaver in Chang'an City. Why has she never seen these things before, but she can tell what they are used for at a glance.
These things are too deadly for a comb worker.
"Miss, I have never seen these things before." Yu Meiji whispered in embarrassment.
Then she added: "However, I can figure out what it does. When I get familiar with it, I will naturally teach you how to use it."
Yu Meiji works very hard just to experience the pleasure this tool brings to her.
Comb your hair, put it in a bun, wrap it in a black silk scarf, and then draw various patterns of wealth...
Next comes the thrush, which is a willow-leaf eyebrow, thin and long, with slanting red lines that look like a crescent moon.
Then I drew a delicate eyeshadow line, used powder and rouge to smudge the corners of my eyes, and then smudged it over the entire face to make it more refined and natural.
This process took a full hour and a half.
Yu Meiji let out a long breath, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. Fortunately, she was finally done.
Li Shuwan took out a lipstick, unscrewed the cap, and turned it a few times. The tip of the lipstick was revealed, and she applied red lips.
This scene shocked Yu Meiji again. Is this Kou Zhi?
Other people's lip balm is just a lump, placed in a container, and used to apply it on the lips with a tool. This is only used by wealthy people. Where can such advanced tubular lip balm be found?
