The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

actually i want

Xueyan was still a little uneasy about why Mrs. Xing was looking for her.In the past few days, it has been rumored in the mansion that Jia She and his wife have made a fortune by raiding their homes. Mrs. Xing would not think that she was talking nonsense outside, would she?

But Mrs. Xing is the master after all, she wants to find her, she has no reason to hide, besides, she has even reported Daiyu, Xueyan has no reason not to go.

Alas, shrinking one's head is also a knife, it is better to die early and give birth early.

So, Xueyan followed the little girl to Mrs. Xing's yard with a fluttering little heart.

When she arrived, Mrs. Xing was leaning on the rose chair with her hair loose, her face was covered with a thick layer of white paste.

Seeing the snow geese coming, Mrs. Xing waved her hand and asked her to wait for a while.

Seeing this situation, Xue Yan felt a little relieved in her heart, presumably she wasn't scolding herself, otherwise Mrs. Xing's attitude would not be like this.The way she looked just now was clearly applying a mask, and the familiar smell told Xue Yan that it should be the formula of Qizibai.How can young girls not love beauty?Before time travelling, she did a lot of tinkering with these things, especially the Seven Sons Whitening Mask, which was once popular all over the Internet. She had both bought it online and made it herself, so she was very familiar with the smell.Thinking of this, Xue Yan became more determined that the other party was a time traveler.

After the stick of incense burning on the table next to her was finished, Mrs. Xing went down to wash her face with the help of a maid.

Xueyan saw that there were only three copper basins for washing his face, and three pieces of handkerchiefs for wiping his face, surrounded by four or five maids, really a luxurious ruling class.Why does she look like a noble wife when she wears it, and she is a miserable little maid? It's really unfair to travel through the Great God.

If Mrs. Xing knows this, she will say: I don't think it's fair. Why should I dress like a beautiful young woman as an old-fashioned half-old lady? I don't know about maintenance either.Forty is not a very old age, and the facial features are not bad, but the vicissitudes of life on the face look like a person in sixty.

This maintenance road is really a long way to go!But in this life, I don't want to have her gorgeous appearance like before, alas!

After Mrs. Xing finished washing her face and rubbing the moisturizing balm on her skin, Shi Shiran walked out, and said to Xueyan softly and amiably: "The maids and women around me are very clumsy, and they don't even have hair. You can’t comb well. I heard that you are very skillful in combing hair, I wonder if you can comb more unique hairstyles, and by the way, teach those who don’t know how to do it.”

So you let yourself comb your hair in a bun?I was startled... Xueyan complained a few words in her heart, and replied with a smile on her face: "Since my wife can look down on slaves, then slaves will try their best."

So a group of people started to go to the dressing table.

Xueyan first picked up the comb on the table to help Mrs. Xing comb her hair. Mrs. Xing was no longer welcome. After all, she was also the eldest wife of this mansion before. Her hair was well maintained, there was no gray hair, and her hair was black and shiny.While combing, she looked at Mrs. Xing in the mirror. After looking at it for a long time, she thought that Mrs. Xing in front of her was much younger and prettier than the one on the TV show.Mrs. Xing's tacky dress on TV is uncomfortable

What suits the person in front of her is that You Shi's outfit fits her current age and status.

Fortunately, she was a fan of the Red Chamber in her previous life. She watched the [-] TV series countless times, and edited several online posts about the costumes in it. She remembered most of the makeup and hair very clearly.It has to be said that [-] Red House is a very thoughtful TV series. All the actors' buns in it are combed with real hair, and it includes almost all women's buns recorded in history.She once compared the bun pictures in history books with the hairstyles of actors in the Red Chamber, and later posted them on the Internet, which attracted a lot of attention.

Perhaps, this hobby at the time can now be used to increase income-generating expertise?

Xueyan thought for a while, and gave Mrs. Xing an improved peony bun.The hairstyles of the ancients are ever-changing, even the same bun can change into many styles.Peony buns have been around since the Tang Dynasty, and they have always been elegant and luxurious, but the ones made by Xueyan for Xing are much lighter.Anyway, she doesn't go out, but if she is at home, there is no need to exaggerate.

After combing, Xueyan picked out a finely crafted phoenix hairpin with pendant beads from Madam Xing's dowry and inserted it obliquely on one side of the bun, and then inserted a pair of emerald flower hairpins on the other side.Use small and asymmetrical hair accessories to reduce the dignified feeling brought by the graceful bun and highlight a more vivid feeling.

Xing looked at the mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "I knew it was right to look for you. You don't know how greedy I am when I see Sister Yu's ever-changing buns every day. It's a pity that you belong to the Lin family Maid, and Sister Yu’s confidant, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I won’t be able to compete with my niece for a maid. If those around me have half your ingenuity, I’ll burn my incense.”

"My wife is serious. Which of the sisters and mothers around you is not ingenious? It's just that you are too solemn on weekdays. They are afraid that you think this kind of bun is frivolous, so they dare not try it lightly. This time I know that you like it. , can it be difficult for them in the future?" Xueyan said with a smile, she will not fall into the pit, and if she can't say a word, she will offend the maids in this room.

Mrs. Xing touched the pearl tassels on her temples, and said with a smile, "You are not only skillful with your hands, but also with your mouth." Then she ordered a little maid beside her, "Xiao Hong, go and take the bead that was just beaten yesterday. Take out the box jewelry."

Little Red?Xueyan stared blankly at the maid, this could not be the little Hong who started to serve Baoyu in the original book and was brought to her side by Wang Xifeng, right?

Maybe it was because of the surprise in her eyes, Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "You know Xiaohong? She was originally a maidservant in Baoyu's courtyard. I saw that she was quite clever in speaking and quick in doing things, so I called her over. But there is one bad thing, this girl is illiterate."

While talking, Xiao Hong came out with a box, Madam Xing opened it, inside were all kinds of pearl-inlaid jewelry, all small and delicate, it looked like it was worn by a little girl.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xing said: "My son just got a box of Nanhu pearls. It's not big, but it's round and shiny. I took it out and let craftsmen make these jewelry. They are all suitable for little girls. I looked at this The ring and this hairpin are good, so I reward you."

Although Xueyan liked it very much, she still declined and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have already received a generous reward from my wife a few days ago. Today I just combed my hair. I really dare not accept my wife's reward again. Why don't I go back?" My girl should scold me for not knowing the severity."

When she said this, Xueyan's heart was bleeding: Actually, I still want it very much, but I can't be too greedy...
