The air of the first lunar month of the New Year is filled with the smell of fireworks and fireworks that have not dissipated the night before. It is blown through by the cold wind and will feel piercing to the heart when you first breathe it in. Sheng Qiuxiao claimed that she wanted to understand that in this world, only by being kind to others and staying together to keep warm can we survive for a long time. , but the first thing to be implemented was to follow the wishes of the young master. Afraid that the young master would be really angry, she did not dare to stay in Chunxi's room for too long, so she gave a few words of comfort, thinking that the other party had already made up his mind and would not do anything. It was stupid, so he left with a smile on his face and the oiran. As soon as he stepped out of the doorway, he hurriedly apologized, saying that he didn't delay on purpose, just so that the building could be clean and peaceful.
"Come on, I don't like to listen to casual talk. Let this matter be over and don't mention it again. If you are still not at ease, tell Xu Jinshu and ask her to visit Chunxi more for you." The oiran woman raised her hand to smooth her temples and said in a tone of voice Yun Danfengqing: "Anyway, I can't understand your temper and your kindness as a woman."
"So if sister can achieve great things, all we need to do is follow her and be loyal, that's enough." Sheng Qiu Xiao's bright and gentle smile made Shen Yuan feel familiar for no reason, as if he had seen her before in the long and empty years, but couldn't think of it. No matter what day it was, I realized that it was just an illusion and completely impossible.
Sheng Qiuxiao entered Lengxiang Pavilion very early, but she was always placed in the backyard by Mrs. Mo Zhang, where she mingled among the singers, dancers and maids. She only rose to prominence in recent years, was carefully cultivated, and could talk to the courtesan. It only started on Chinese Valentine's Day last year. Shen Yuan didn't know exactly how the two became friends, but it was better than becoming rivals. She was very happy to have someone to talk and laugh with.
When they talked about visiting the temple fair in Chunxi House, Sheng Qiuxiao thought it was just an excuse. Unexpectedly, the oiran actually ordered the maids to prepare the carriages, horses and people for going out - "You go too, change into colored clothes, I have already I sent someone to find out more about it. There is a temple fair at the foot of Yuxia Mountain today and it is very lively. Now I can go out to avoid the crowds and avoid the hassle of traffic jams."
Qiu Xiao smiled and agreed, willing to go out for some fresh air. She trotted back upstairs and called Xiao Ju to make up and change clothes for her. When the two pairs of master and servant met again, Mrs. Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up. Yesterday, on New Year's Eve, the oiran The lady refused to wear red, and the indigo starry moon was still in the water. It was like closing the night in her skirt. But today she seems to be in a good mood. She finally changed into the hot and blazing beauty in the eyes of outsiders. The vertical line of the skirt is layered with red layers. Like a blooming peony, the corners are rolled with silver threads and embroidered into four-sided stars, with a broken glass dotted in each of them, shining brightly under the sun.
The courtesan has a cold temperament, but she has a face that is suitable for heavy paint. The rouge must be made from the cleanest rose petals, mixed with red and blue from the Western Regions, crushed with a white jade pestle, and washed with mountain spring water drawn in the morning, so that it can be dust-free. It takes three or two months to dye and moisturize the skin, not to mention the pearl powder, lotus stamens, mitochon and other more than ten ingredients that are mixed in later. After spending it, I got a small box in the beauty makeup box.
Can't remember when, Shen Yuan loved to draw "Feng Shao", which made his originally slightly round peach blossom eyes become narrow and narrow, and when he smiled, he looked more like a spirit fox with cunning little thoughts. . Usually the courtesan usually uses indigo, but today she adds an extra stroke of rouge to outline it, which adds to the charm in the depth. The banished fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world is tainted with the smoke of fireworks out of thin air, which makes people believe that she has also walked in the rolling world of mortals. Once upon a time, as for other things, such as where it comes from and where it is going, it is not clear.
"This is just like my sister. She is as beautiful and thick as a rich flower. It is not in vain that Madam has prepared it for you carefully. She is so elegant and elegant with her fine clothes and food." Sheng Qiu Xiao stepped forward as usual and held the arm of the master of the small pavilion. Wan, exclaimed: "I finally understand why my sister sometimes wears a veil even when she is in the building. With such a beautiful appearance, even I feel excited when I see it. If someone who doesn't know about it comes in and rashly bumps into her... I'm afraid I'll have to think about it day and night, which will make me haggard because of Yixiao."
Sheng Qiuxiao always flatters the oiran. Shen Yuan has heard it a lot and doesn't think it's strange. But today he thinks she goes too far: "It's just a show. Why don't you listen? Everyone who comes in says it's cold." The oiran of Xiang Pavilion is stubborn and aloof, and really does not deserve this name."
"If I had such a good appearance, I would also like to be stubborn and taste the feeling of being proud of being favored." Qiu Xiao said with a smile, and then received an unceremonious roll of the eyes from the court lady, asking her to shut up quickly and return it. If you want to go out, stop talking nonsense.
The oiran counted the time and set out on the road. Unexpectedly, he encountered a lot of cars and horses, and the road was crowded. Everyone tried to take advantage of the situation, but it turned out to be self-defeating. Shen Yuan was not in a hurry, and asked the driver in a good temper to pull over and stop for the time being. Just wait on the street to see what people in the community are doing on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Covered with light gauze and a hood, the cold beauty's beautiful face was completely covered. Although the etiquette was thorough, it seemed to have lost the meaning of being carefully dressed. Shen Yuan tried his best to tell himself that this would also prevent passers-by from lingering and prying eyes. Lest those eyes stare at him for a long time, and he impulsively scolds the other person for being shameless.
Business that can make money is never too tiring. There are straw shed shelves set up on the street, and there are small items that girls will like, including hairpins and earrings. Watching it for a while can also pass the time.
"Look, this is actually lapis lazuli. It's rare to see young girls wearing it. It's mostly liked by older women, who think it can dispel evil spirits and nourish the body." The oiran picked up a hairpin, and the whole body was blue in color. It shines with glittering reflections and is carved into a pattern with the word "福" ending at the end. The top is a crane cloud pattern: "However, I think this style seems to be specially prepared for the daughter who has left the pavilion."
Sheng Qiuxiao listened attentively, bending her eyes and teasing: "It seems that even if my sister likes it, it's not easy to buy it back and wear it? Then, why not..." Sheng lowered her voice, quietly looked around without anyone noticing, and then came to the ear canal: " My sister will keep it in her pocket first, and wait for the day when Mr. Li's sedan chair arrives, and then use this as a dowry."
"Damn girl! You're the only one with a mouth." Lengxiang Courtesan's cheeks suddenly turned red with embarrassment. Fortunately, it was blocked by layers of barriers and could not be seen by outsiders. "Three sentences can't be separated from these. Let me see, you have been talking all day long. All you want to do is get married, but you still want to use me as a cover." Shen Yuan hid one hand in his wide sleeves, twisted Qiu Xiao's arm hard, turned around and ordered the maid to pay, bought the lapis lazuli hairpin, and photographed it on the Sheng's palm said: "In that case, I give this to you. If you really become a wife in the future, you must remember to thank me later." This chapter has been completed!
