Travel back to ancient times to be a beautician

Cui Xiaoru has been sleeping restlessly for the past few days.

Since she came back from Baoning Temple, she had nightmares every night and woke up in the middle of the night with a wet back.

She dreamed that she was in the lake, struggling constantly, but couldn't stop her sinking tendency, she felt out of breath, her stepmother and her younger sister stood on the shore, looking at her with a sneer.

She sank to the bottom of the lake in despair, watching the faces of her stepmother and younger sister become a little distorted under the rippling water.

Waking up suddenly, she realized that it was the light gauze beside the bed that grabbed her neck, making her breathless.

She sat on the edge of the bed panting, the night was slightly cool, but she was sweating profusely, lying on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

Cui Xiaoru was also restless during the day, and often lost her mind looking at the yard. By the time she realized it, she was already in tears.

Wiping away the tears from his eyes, he tidied up his clothes and returned to his room alone.

She lives in a small courtyard in Cui's mansion. It is said to be a small courtyard, but it is actually a courtyard very far away from the main courtyard. Even the house where the maids and servants live is closer to her courtyard.Her yard seemed to be independent from Cui's mansion. There was a high wall between the south of Cui's mansion and the main mansion.

Cui Xiaoru often stares at the high wall in a daze. She suffered from a serious illness a few years ago. At that time, Cui's father and Yuan were afraid that she would pass on her illness, so they asked her to come to this small courtyard. and sent Huan'er and Zhang Po, who were only ten years old at the time, to take care of themselves.This stay lasted for two years, and she never went back.

But she still has a chance to meet her father. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, she can go to Cui's mansion to have dinner with them.At this time, my father asked himself some questions as usual, asking about his recent living conditions.

She was timid by nature, but when she looked up once, what she saw was her father looking at her and shaking her head, his eyes were full of disappointment.Although Yuan Shi had a kind smile on his face, but his eyes were slightly narrowed, looking at himself, the cold light flickered, full of malice.

As for his younger sister, she looked at her with contemptuous eyes no matter in face or face.

She also knows that she has a weak character and can't accomplish any big things at all.So on weekdays, she is unknown, does not make mistakes, but does not attract her attention.Just because every time she makes a mistake or loses face, the younger sister is always there to laugh.

She went to this dinner as usual, but unlike before, she didn't go back immediately after dinner, but went to Yuanshi's yard.

It was already dark at that time, and there were only two lights on in the courtyard, other than that, the main house of the Yuan family was still as bright as day.

This is not only Yuan's main house, her mother also lived here many years ago, the plants and trees here look so familiar, yet so strange.

Cui Xiaoru just wanted to recall her childhood memories and didn't want to attract others' attention, so she hid in the dark and stood quietly. At this time, there seemed to be no servants in the Yuan Family Courtyard, except for the figure reflected in the main house.

It was Yuan Shi and her sister.

For a moment, she thought of Yimu in the temple. The two talked about her sister's future husband without any scruples about her feelings.

My heart trembled slightly, but I didn't know why, but I couldn't help but walked towards the main house.

Cui Xiaoru hid in the corner of the wall, it was a relatively secret place, surrounded by bushes, above the wooden railings, above the corner was the window, walked in, seemed to be able to vaguely hear two people talking.

"I really don't understand my father. He obviously doesn't like Cui Xiaoru, why did he let her come to eat at home!" It was her younger sister, Cui Shanshan, who spoke, and her tone was a little arrogant, with the youthful vigor unique to her age.

Her heart trembled, her eyes were sour, and it seemed that tears would flow out immediately, but she held back and continued to listen.

"Although your father doesn't like him, she is his daughter after all. You can't always ignore her." The woman who spoke was slow but calm. This was Yuanshi.

"I hate that woman. I don't like that woman at all. Why is she still alive? If it weren't for her, I could justifiably marry brother Yu Tong." With hatred.

"Can't mother think of a way to get rid of that woman secretly?" Cui Shanshan asked innocently.

Then there was a deathly silence, Cui Xiaoru felt cold in her heart, but she forced herself to listen, her legs and feet were already numb, but she dared not move, there was a bush behind her, a slight movement would make a loud noise, She dared not let the people inside hear it.

"I really want to get rid of her..." Yuan Shi said slowly, with a normal tone, "It's just that, before he died, Chen Shi left her a sum of money as her dowry. "

Her eyes widened suddenly, why did Yuan Shi know about this?

The money her mother left for her is indeed true. When her mother was dying, she called her to the bedside and gave her a jar. It was heavy, and she was asked to keep it safe. No one can tell.

But apart from her deceased mother, there was only Granny Zhang present, but Granny Zhang had been serving her mother and following her, so she would never betray herself.

Yuan Shi said coolly: "This matter was also discovered by a servant in the mansion. He overheard Mrs. Zhang talking to that girl by accident. I didn't even know that after the bankruptcy of Chen's family, there was So rich."

Her heart was beating wildly, she could only cover her mouth tightly to prevent her from accidentally leaking out.

"So, now that girl is still useful, at least we have to know where the money is, and it won't be too late to get rid of that girl." Yuanshiyu educated his daughter earnestly.

"Shanshan knows." Cui Shanshan was a little reluctant, but she had no choice but to hear what her mother said.

The mother and daughter whispered some personal words again, and laughter came from time to time, but in her ears, it was really harsh.

There was a chill in her heart, but she calmed down inexplicably, not as frightened as before.

Taking advantage of the night, without attracting anyone's attention, she walked out of the Zhou Mansion, returned to the courtyard where she had stayed for three years, threw herself on the bed, and cried loudly.

After two days, it was the time agreed with Sunan.

Cui Xiaoru sat in front of the dressing table, on a simple wooden table, there was a somewhat worn brass mirror.

The mirror is a very delicate mirror, the pattern on the edge is a little light, and if you look closely, you can see tiny scratches on the mirror.This mirror was used by my mother at the beginning. Although it was a bit old when she brought it here, she was still reluctant to throw it away and has been using it until now.

Her face was vaguely reflected on the mirror, she stared blankly at her in the mirror, her eyes were confused, she didn't know what she was thinking.Xiaomei was helping her comb her hair, when suddenly there was a pulling pain in her scalp, and she couldn't help crying out in pain.

"Miss, I'm sorry." Xiaomei was a little flustered, and quickly and carefully untied her hair hanging on the comb, and then applied a layer of simple hair oil on the comb to comb her hair smoothly.

The hair oil is a bit greasy, and it feels uncomfortable to apply it on the hair, but her hair is a bit dry and yellow, and if she doesn't apply it, her hair will be ugly.

The pain just now made her come to her senses, she was silent for a while, and said timidly, "Is today the day I agreed with that Young Master Su?"

"Yes, miss." Xiaomei didn't understand why, but still nodded.

Cui Xiaoru quietly looked at herself in the mirror, paused, and said, "Slow down, Xiaomei."

For some reason, when she saw Mr. Su, she always felt an urge to feel ashamed. That man had a graceful manner and a handsome appearance.Compared with Sunan, she seemed like a little maid.

Cui Xiaoru dressed up carefully, she didn't have complicated jewelry, she could only simply insert a hairpin, she looked at herself in the mirror, and thought she was well dressed.

After going out, Mrs. Zhang was already waiting for her outside. Seeing her coming out, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly called Xiaomei over: "Miss, you must be careful when you go out." There was a donkey cart next to Mrs. Zhang. She rented it, Zhang Po put the reins into Xiaomei's hands, and instructed her carefully.

Xiaomei nodded seriously, and Cui Xiaoru showed a rare smile on her face: "Madam Zhang, I just went out to relax, why are you so nervous." She didn't tell Granny Zhang too many things, but she didn't want her to Just worry.

Zhang Po sighed, and randomly asked her to go out to pay attention to safety, and then watched the two of them leave.

The donkey cart was shaking a little, and she was not used to it, but Shiwai Pavilion was a little far away from her home, and it would take more than an hour just to ride.

Shiwai Pavilion seemed to be well-known in the east of the city, and Xiaomei was a little lost, but she could point them in the direction by just asking anyone, and after thanking them with a smile, the two of them set off again.

From a distance, you can see the gold-lettered signboard of Shiwai Pavilion hanging above your head. It is a very delicate one-story single-family shop. Although there is only one floor, it can be seen that the decoration is careful, with carved railings and painted buildings, and colorful colors. The red lacquered pillars, shining in the sun, are considered magnificent.

But the shop's business was very good. Men, women and women entered the shop one after another, and people who came out were smiling and carrying big bags.

Cui Xiaoru couldn't help but flinch, the shop looked very expensive, if she was normal, she wouldn't dare to come to this kind of place.

I looked at the clothes on my body. It was a very ordinary skirt. In comparison, it was a bit shabby.A touch of shame rose on his face, and he couldn't help but want to retreat.

But gritted her teeth, she persisted and walked into the shop.

Outside the shop, there was a special place for horse-drawn carriages. Compared with the two, her donkey cart looked a bit shabby.

After thinking about it, he said to Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, I'll go alone, you can wait for me here."

"Yeah." Xiaomei nodded, but her eyes were quite curious, and she kept looking at everything in the shop.

When she entered the shop, a clerk immediately greeted her, bent over, and said to her enthusiastically, "Young lady, are you here to buy rouge and gouache?" With a bright smile, he was very enthusiastic towards her.

This enthusiasm made Cui Xiaoru a little apprehensive. She had never been treated like this before, and her voice couldn't help being a little nervous. She stammered, "I...I'm here...for the boss."

The waiter was taken aback when he heard this, "Boss, are you here to find Manager Lin? He is busy today and he is not in the store. If the girl has something to do, you might as well leave your name and I will tell him when he comes back."

As he spoke, he looked at the girl secretly, thinking, could it be that girl who likes steward Lin again?

Steward Lin?Cui Xiaoru was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No...no. He said that he is the boss here and his name is Sunan."

The guy was even more taken aback, actually came to find Boss Su?She said with a look of embarrassment: "What is the girl doing with my Boss Su? My boss doesn't see outsiders on weekdays."

Being rejected suddenly, her heart beat a little faster, fearing that she would be kicked out, she quickly explained: "No, it is... Mr. Su asked me to come and look for him today."

Hearing what the girl in front of him said, the guy's expression became normal, and his voice became more polite to her: "The girl wait a moment, I'll go ask my husband."

As he spoke, he trotted all the way, opened the curtain, and disappeared.

Before it was time for a cup of tea, the man came over and said to her respectfully: "Come with me, girl, my husband is waiting for you in the study."

Cui Xiaoru clenched her hands a little, feeling nervous, and followed the buddy towards the backyard.

Walking through a corridor, I came to the backyard. The yard is wide and well-kept. The flower beds on both sides are full of blooming flowers. The flowers are fragrant and the trees are lush. There are some melons on the stone table in the distance As a result, Cui Xiaoru only glanced at it, then looked away.

The man led her to a place, only said that Sunan was waiting for her in the room, and then left.

There were no outsiders, Cui Xiaoru knew that she was going to see Sunan soon, she didn't know why she became even more flustered, she stared with bated breath, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and knocked on the door.

She waited until there was a sound from inside before she dared to open the door and enter.

She saw Sunan sitting behind the desk, holding a very delicate peony tassel hairpin between her slender and white fingers, gently picking up the incense burner in front of her.

What a beautiful picture this is, the young man with a face like a crown jade, the sun shines in from the window and hits him, covering him with a hazy layer of light, staring intently at the incense burner in front of him , Wisps of green smoke hovering upwards, it is a special aroma.

Teasing the spices with the tip of the hairpin, there is a sense of elegance and leisure in every gesture, and it looks dazzling, as if he is a handsome and extraordinary aristocrat.

The author has something to say: I feel that there are still some deficiencies in some aspects, and I am still struggling
