[Pride and Prejudice] Rich Lady

In the early morning of the next day, before the Bennet servants woke up, Mrs. Bennet had already got up.She didn't sleep well all night, her complexion looked sallow, and her skin was a little loose, making the fine lines more obvious, which made the wife's mood even worse.

Mrs. Bennet spent her carefree teenage years, her young age of being courted and flattered by men, and old Gardner always called her "my little lark" when she was still alive, but all these were fearless The joy wore off after marrying Mr. Bennet.Of course, the wife prefers to use some responsible words such as "mature", "hostess" and "housewife" to describe the marriage time carelessly.

Assuming she can have a child at one stroke, I am afraid that this happy time can last longer. This is not to say that Mr. Bennet is not a good husband, but on the contrary, this gentleman is stubborn, eccentric and has some wicked tastes, but he never Not a word of complaint was made against her for not having produced an heir to Longbourn.It was a couple's business, Mr. Bennet knew very well.Even a tolerant husband can't save Mrs. Bennet's happiness. The whole society and people's ideas are behind her, forcing her to become a busy housewife.

After giving birth to five daughters, Mrs. Bennet became more anxious. Every day, she imagined the happy scene of her daughters getting married, or the tragic scene of her daughters not getting married.When she was young, she was too beautiful and complacent to do the drudgery of reading and writing. After she got married, her living environment was closed.

So when something happened, Mrs. Bennet would lose sleep and be restless.In the past, she always complained about her nervousness and headaches. Although there is no shortage of exaggerated performances, she is also true.

That day, Mrs. Bennet was at first just walking around in the mistress' bedroom, murmuring, before she opened the door and woke the whole family up.Mr. Bennet got up in the master's room on the other side of the middle door, and went to enjoy a quiet morning light in the study according to his habit--"Encyclopedia Britannica" also attracted him, and Miss Mary's obsessive hobbies were completely inherited from her father.

Mrs. Bennet let the housekeeper tidy her curly hat, and complained: "No one in the family is considerate of me, they don't know how hard I am! Lizzie is still so lavish, if the neighbors know, the country Who else would marry her, gentlemen?"

Mrs. Bennet knows nothing about financial management, but she has a bottom line, that is, the monthly expenses of the Bennet house must not exceed one hundred pounds!Of course, this refers to the household and pocket money that Mr. Bennet gave her.Over the years, Mrs. Bennet has been implementing it very well. This rule she set made them not save much money, but at least they did not run into a deficit.The whole family has also maintained the dignity of a gentleman's family to the outside world.

But Elizabeth spent such a large sum of money in half a day, and Mrs. Bennet was very worried. Her simple brain circuit would not think that Elizabeth had never written to her family to ask for money during the six months she had been away from home, and Those fifty pounds were actually her own - she could only keep suspecting that Elizabeth would go bankrupt sooner or later, even if she married a gentleman of the right family.

"Ma'am, Miss Lizzie and her sisters made a beautiful dress for Miss Mary yesterday!" said Mrs. Hill. "In my opinion, Miss Lizzie is not wasting money."

But her good intentions were in vain, Mrs. Bennet's mind was buzzing, and the nerves in her forehead were throbbing and hurting, and she couldn't listen to it.

All the young ladies of the Bennet family, anticipating Elizabeth's promised makeover, surrounded her, and none of the girls went downstairs.This undoubtedly made the wife have no object to complain about. Mrs. Bennet had to prepare things for the guests, and she quickly lost the enthusiasm for complaining.

The ladies upstairs didn't know that they had escaped again.They watched Elizabeth smooth Mary's thick, curly hair with a comb.Elizabeth's movements were soft and clean, not like Mary's own hair or the maid Sara's combing, which always hurt her scalp.

Soon, the two youngest sisters also became envious. They hugged Jane from one side to the other, and begged her to comb their hair. The little girls enjoyed the comfort of combing their scalps, but they didn't have the patience— —Miss Bennet all have lush hair, especially thanks to their father, and Mr. Bennet is a rare middle-aged gentleman who is not bald.

The five sisters all have some curly hair, but Mary can't take care of it. The messy little curly hair always hangs on her forehead and temples, covering her eyes a little, making the little girl who is not confident at first look more like a girl. A gray mouse hiding in the shadows.

Elizabeth divided the messy bangs into two pieces, combed the long ones to the back temporarily, and curled the shorter hair with curls—she didn’t give Mary the side-hanging curls that were most popular at the time. It is more suitable for older girls and can make girls look more gentle and elegant.And Mary is still young, and her face is also the most standard oval shape, and the rows of hanging curls on both sides are intended to emphasize the width of the hair, which will make her look like a head that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

Jane was distracted to see Elizabeth's hands crossed back and forth, just like yesterday when she braided the fresh and unique braid: in a blink of an eye, a thin braid on the top of her head was formed in her hands, and then she and others The hair was joined in a multi-strand braid, tied with a dark green ribbon, and hung loosely over Mary's right shoulder.

Elizabeth lightly loosened the hair on the top of her head and the big braids with her hands. The coiled hair, loose curly hair, and small ribbons were fresh and chic. Even without accessories, they were still pretty enough.The curls were untied, and two strings of small curls fell loosely from the forehead. Elizabeth fiddled with her hands more naturally, adding some playful and lovely taste to Mary.

"It's so beautiful!" said the sisters.

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Mary has a lot of hair volume, and the simple braiding looks good too. If she had less hair, the top of her head would be sticking to her scalp and be bald."

Mary wanted to go to the mirror, but Elizabeth hurriedly held her down, "Honey, it's not finished yet."

Jane and the girls watched as Elizabeth weaved two thin laces into a small flower quickly, and then fixed the end of the long lace with a small iron wire. The wire and lace easily passed through the small plate on top of Mary's head. The braid; the little flower made of lace got stuck on the braid at the temple, Elizabeth lightly wrapped a section of lace around it, and then took off the wire, and quickly formed a little flower with her hands... Just like that, it coiled over the top of her head The braids are like adding a crown of vine roses, it is simply beautiful.

The remaining long lace ribbon was tied into a beautiful bow by Elizabeth and hidden under the root of the big braid, which made the big braid tied only with a dark green ribbon even more chic and attractive.

"What did you think of it, Lizzie?" The sisters all gathered around Mary.

And Mary's facial features are more prominently set off by the hairstyle, and the sisters realize that Mary's facial features are very delicate, not even inferior to Jane's.

"It's beautiful, Mary!" exclaimed Lydia and Kitty, "it's incredible!"

"There are treasures hidden under the matted hair, like pearls hidden by gravel." Elizabeth gently took the little girl by the shoulders and led her to the large glass mirror in Mrs. Bennet's dressing room.

"Oh my God!" Mary looked at the girl in the mirror, is this me?Just like a princess!

"It's not over, honey, I think your little face needs some touch-ups." Elizabeth asked her to sit down.

But these words attracted Jane and Mary to look over, and Jane quickly grabbed Elizabeth: "Lizzie, this is enough, ladies shouldn't mess with their faces, especially those, those..."

Elizabeth understood instantly, and said for her, "Those rouges?"

Jane nodded, only those women from bad backgrounds were painted, such as courtesans, actresses and prostitutes.

Elizabeth hurriedly said: "Of course I won't. The rouge box will not appear in the Bennet's house. It's just a little trick to make us look better and our skin look fairer and brighter."

As she spoke, she took out a small glass bottle, which was birch sap purchased in London. This was a kind of tree water that was very popular with the ladies of Tsarist Russia, and was praised by many Russian artists and poets.Elizabeth also heard about this natural skin care product in later generations. When she came across it in London, she hurriedly ordered some—but this magical tree water could not be preserved for a long time. Fortunately, the climate in England was cool, so she could use it Bring it home.

Birch sap is rich in nutrients and can whiten and moisturize. Elizabeth poured some into her palm and gently massaged the little girl's face. She didn't expect that just one treatment would bring about much change—but she was very happy. Experience: When the mask is just finished, the girls' skin always looks hydrated and tender.This little time is enough to inspire Mary's self-confidence and make her appear in front of people with her head held high.

Once the first step had been taken, once she felt she had beauty, Mary no longer had to hide her inferiority complex with arcane knowledge, or simply hide from people's eyes.Her beauty and manner will make people discover the beauty of her profound knowledge and quiet temperament.

A stunning appearance will be a good medicine for Mary.As long as she continues to work hard, the knowledgeable Third Miss Bennet is bound to exude her own brilliance.
