Chapter 214 Makeup (2 more)
Hairpin Festival
In the spring season, Kyoto ushered in another great excitement after the spring examination.
The difference is that there are many people involved in this second quarrel. Early in the morning, there were many people shouting and selling magnolias everywhere on the streets of Kyoto City, one by one, and the fragrance was fragrant.
The streets were crowded with people, and the excitement started early.
The ladies and young men of each family were busy when they got up early in the morning, either looking at makeup or bunting their buns, which made the servants of each family very busy, especially those who received the invitation from the eldest princess or passed the primary election to show up at the hairpin festival, and the whole family was even more busy.
"Miss, it's time to get up. The big wife in front has already urged her several times."
Fangxiang held the washbasin and had called it for the third time. Although it was still early, today it was different. The lady could no longer handle it casually and went out like before. The eldest lady asked Mother Yuan to come here to serve the lady in person, and the old lady also sent someone the latest rouge powder.
This is a time-consuming thing to dress up.
After three or four requests, the people on the bed finally made some noise. Because of the hairpin festival, the old lady specially spent a lot of money to hire an old lady who came out of the palace to teach Lin Shuangyu and Lin Hongtu's etiquette, for fear that they would go wrong.
It was a bit late to sharpen the gun at night. After a while, the old lady felt something, Lin Shuang couldn't refute the other party, so she thought that she would just accompany her fifth brother, but who knew that it was so late.
"Mom Yuan, just let's just cleanse your face." Looking at the thin lines in Mom Yuan's hand, Lin Shuangyu felt ache in her cheeks.
Woman, why bother to make things difficult for herself? She looked at it and just put some rouge on it without being so grand.
"Miss, the old lady and the wife have given instructions. You can't let your temperament come true today. Don't make things difficult for Lao Zi, the old lady and the others are waiting."
Lin Shuangyu looked at the sky outside the window. She didn't know much at dawn...
Forget it, I had no intention of arguing, so I simply closed my eyes and let them make trouble.
"Miss, let's change the clothes first, drink some porridge and eat something. The makeup is better, but it will be difficult to eat."
Feelings, she still suffers a little today.
Yan Xiang seemed a little excited. She took the new set of prepared clothes off the rack and carefully put them on Lin Shuangyu. There were no wrinkles at all. She ironed them last night.
In this occasion, there were too many noble people, and there were some taboos in both red and yellow. Therefore, when I was cutting new clothes, the eldest lady was so dazzling in terms of color. Who made our young lady interested at all?
"This color is perfect for the young lady, it's so beautiful."
The young lady was originally good at the foundation. If it weren't for the young lady, most people wouldn't be able to hold it up. The wide-sleeved slanting collars and the plates were made of round and uniform-sized sea beads, with white gauzes on top and auspicious clouds and rolls of flowers on the neckline and sleeves. Such a thin gauze dress is very test of its excellence.
The length of the dress is slightly long, and when walking, she drags to the ground. Lin Shuangyu is tall. She doesn't seem to be slow at all, but instead adds a bit of temperament.
"Miss, it looks so beautiful. Sit down and let Mother Yuan clean your face. I will combed you with a glorious bun today. I wish you a brilliant bun on the hairpin and flower festival and a prosperous future."
"This girl Fangxiang is so good at saying this, the lady should give her a reward." Yuan's mother joked happily.
"Okay, then reward."
Lin Shuangyu opened her loose eyes and looked very easy to speak. She was so awake that she was much more conscious after being tossed by them.
"Miss Xie." Fangxiang took out the set of tassel silver-wire red hairpin that the eldest lady had sent from the jewelry box and gestured carefully. It seemed that she had been thinking about the problem of dressing up the eldest lady today.
One combs the hair and the other cleans the face. The work on both sides is really late.
Lin Hongtu changed his clothes early in the morning, with his hands behind his back, and wandered back and forth several times with his eldest wife as if he was a little old man. From time to time, he stretched his neck and looked out. Why didn't the eldest sister come yet?
"Little ancestor, you sit down quietly and wait. It takes time for a woman to dress up."
The eldest wife was really dazzled. During this period, she saw her son’s face full of redness every day. She used to take medicine every day, but now she has been dressed every two days. It’s so good to keep her spirits up. The eldest wife is happy.
In this place, their eldest wife treats the eldest lady as a Bodhisattva and offers her happiness.
"Mom, it's getting late, I'd better go and have a look."
"Sit honestly for me, it's becoming more and more unstable. Mom tells you that you can't be impatient when you go outside later, you're not allowed to be irritable, too big and young! You're still like a child."
The eldest lady was reluctant to say a word about these words in the past.
"Here you come, young master, young lady is here!" It was still Changsheng who knew the young master's thoughts, and he called out when he saw a figure outside the door.
Before the eldest wife could say anything, Lin Hongtu had already greeted her. The eldest wife had no choice but to stand up helplessly, shook her head and followed her out, so she simply went straight to the old lady's place.
When I went out and saw the purple-gray figure coming towards me, I was amazed.
Mother Yuan walked up to the eldest lady with a smile, held the eldest lady and whispered, "Look at it, my eldest lady, we are so outstanding!" Today, the eldest lady is going to amazed many people, but she just reacted the same as her wife.
The purple-gray long skirt, with the hem of the skirt on the ground, covered by the gray and white gaon, like flowing clouds and blue smoke, curling with charming posture. Today's makeup is a little heavier than usual, making the originally three-dimensional facial features look more delicate and distinct. The eyes flow, the eyes shine brightly, the pink face flies, the red lips are red, and the beauty is even more impressive.
The ink hair is like satin, the bun is full of glory, the tassels are shining, and the brilliance is filled with colorful light.
The eldest lady stared blankly, not only outstanding, but also outstanding. She always felt that their eldest lady was extraordinary. Today, she deliberately dressed up and realized that the young lady on weekdays was a pearl covered in dust.
Is this too popular?
The eldest lady thought so, and the old lady looked at her and thought about it the same way. She was afraid to sit in front of her in the outfit.
Too prosperous!
"Big sister, today is so beautiful." Lin Hongtu was reluctant to leave with his eyes.
In this world, his elder sister is the most beautiful.
Lin Yunyi and his sisters all watched silently, feeling both envious and inferior, but they were not jealous, because jealousy would make them feel even more ashamed of themselves.
They seemed to finally understand why the elder sister was different from them and could be treated differently by their grandparents because their abilities were different.
It's okay to just talk about appearance, but your body and hair are your parents, but your demeanor is incomparable. Standing together, you can see your height immediately.
Lin Yunxing is also wearing a new outfit today. The tender yellow is very suitable for her age. She looks particularly beautiful. She has big eyes, as if she can speak, staring at Lin Shuangyu without blinking.
Lin Shuangyu looked back at him, his face turned red, and he lowered his head.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's arrive early. Don't let those nobles think that our Lin family has no rules. Because today, the big girl and Xiaowu are going to participate in the competition, and we have a mat in our Lin family. Although we are on the periphery, we can see clearly. You guys will go to see it for a long time today. You guys will follow us to learn more and pay attention to safety when going out. You guys should also remember the rules. Today is the Hairpin Festival, so there is no need to be a siege. You guys, watch some."
The old lady gave some advice to the younger generations, and then to the wives.
The wives naturally agreed happily. It was rare to have such an opportunity for the whole family to watch the fun. Even if they were not their children attending the Hairpin Festival, they still felt their faces shining.
After all, the Lin family went there two at once, one was based on their ability, and the other was the eldest princess' invitation letter.
"Okay, Xiaowu, go find your grandfather, and your brother and others are waiting for you!"
Lin Hongtu reluctantly went to find the old man and the others. Today's lively and the academy was also on vacation, and the students had already gone to watch the fun. The old man ordered two at a high price in a teahouse outside the Shuixietai Yulai. The gentlemen and grandchildren also invited them to watch the fun.
For the Lin family, today is an extraordinary day.
The old man and the old lady didn't sleep well last night, and they were always upset. There was no way. For the Lin family, what might happen today is a big deal.
"Big girl, you sit in the carriage in front of you. When you arrive, you have to go into the inner seat and wait."
At the door, the old lady asked Lin Shuangyu to make the first carriage. Lin Shuangyu looked over and understood in her heart that the carriage was deliberately decorated, and the old lady...
"Well, Grandma Xie, Grandma, I'm alone on the road and I don't talk. Let Sister Qi accompany me."
"Cheng, Xiaoqi Yatou, you and your elder sister are in a carriage, Yi Yatou and Fang Yatou sit with me."
There are many carriages on the road today, so it is not advisable to arrange too many carriages. It is also for convenience that everyone squeezes in. The three ladies have the same carriage, and the girls and the women are walking with the carriage outside.
Anyway, the carriage is definitely not fast today. Now, there are crowds of people on the road, all heading in one direction.
On the old man's side, except for a few old gentlemen and old men, everyone riding horses.
Except for Lin Hongtu, he would not ride a horse and was pulled into the carriage by the old man.
"Big sister!"
The carriage was very slow and it was too quiet along the way, which made Lin Yunxing feel a little uneasy and shouted softly.
"I want to ask about the fourth sister?" It seems that the relationship between the two sisters is not good. On weekdays, Lin Yunyue always bullies her sister.
Lin Shuangyu closed her eyes and rested. Today's Hairpin Festival, I don't know how many situations I have to face and raise my spirit.
"Big sister, Xiaoqi knows that today is a big day, and it shouldn't have bothered my elder sister..."
"But, I can't find any opportunity on weekdays, and I can't help but want to ask, right?"
Facing Lin Shuangyu, Lin Yunxing felt very oppressive, but he nodded.
Although I closed my eyes, it seemed as if I knew everything. "The fourth sister is now in Chen'an to accompany my third aunt. After the hairpin festival, the third aunt may be back. Sister Seven, although you are not a big man, you are a sensible person. Today I will say a few more words, would you like to listen?"
Le Chen'an? Mom is coming back?
Lin Yunxing's eyes lit up. She knew early in the morning that if her mother wanted to come back, she would not be with her grandfather or her grandmother. The key was the big sister. She felt relieved. My mother might be able to come back.
Nodding like a garlic, "Big sister, I'm willing to listen! Please give me advice."
I couldn't help but open my eyes and looked at it, and used the word "speaking" and it turned out that I was a smart girl. The girls from the Lin family were really the best. She didn't comment on the few who were too young. Among these people who were sensible, this Xiaoqi and the three sisters were quite amazing.
It’s easy to say if there is one person in the family who is sensible.
"Filial piety is a virtue, it should be, but sometimes, you know that indulgence and filial piety are different things. After the third aunt comes back, the seventh sister can write about the housekeeper. Of course, how to do it, the seventh sister weighs the pros and cons of the third sister. As for the third sister's affairs, it is better for you to ignore it now."
If she doesn't repent, the Lin family will not be able to tolerate such things, so as not to cause trouble in the future, and it will be nothing wrong with her staying in Chen'an for the rest of her life.
Yesterday, she asked Xiaoshuang to arrange someone to pick him up. She would be in a nearby place in a while and would not let her see what a daughter of a noble family is. She would never know what a gap is.
After seeing it, I sent her back to Chen'an to continue practicing cultivation. I thought about it carefully. When I figured it out, she would meet her.
There was no sound in the car, and I was about to reach the water pavilion platform all the way quietly.
The water pavilion was already crowded, so I was careful when I took a step. Except for the carriages that I could enter the water pavilion, the other carriages were parked from a distance, and there were a soldier walking a few steps around me, guarding them tightly.
There is only a passage covered with red carpets and no one is walking quietly. It is a special passage for the emperor, princess and civil and military officials.
