Chapter 61: Dressing Up
Chen Shiyi has recently followed Wen Zhirou's example, applying facial mask and rouge on herself, and even dyeing her nails with hydrangea.
The palms of her hands were covered with cords, some of which had several cracks. Her fingers were thick, short and black from overexerting themselves, and with the bright red nails, they looked like an old lady putting on lip balm, which was really weird.
Chen Shiyi swore that next time he painted his nails, he would write her last name backwards.
Wen Zhirou found it very funny to see her playing the drums.
"You go out a lot, so it's normal to have a dark complexion. Didn't you look pretty during the Chinese New Year? You're just too thin. You need to eat more. Once you gain weight, your complexion will become more radiant. You have a good bone structure, and you'll look better when you grow up."
"real?"
"Also, why is yours so small?"
"What's wrong, Xiao?"
"Of course it's not good if it's too small. It has to be at least the size of a peach."
"Then let me see how big your thing is?"
Wen Zhirou patted Chen Shiyi's messy hands and whispered in her ear.
"My second sister-in-law's is very big. Don't you think her body is very attractive?"
Chen Shiyi thought about it and expressed his full agreement.
"Don't mention it. When the Second Young Master's wife puts on new clothes, I always feel that there is an indescribable charm. That is, her waist is so thin, and her private parts are very big. Sometimes I think that if they are so big, it will be very tiring to run. Besides, it will be very inconvenient to work."
Wen Zhirou pressed Chen Shiyi's head in frustration.
"You only think about work every day. When you return to Kyoto, you won't have any work to do. You will be served by others. You can only serve my brother in the future. But that service requires a big body and a thin waist. Do you understand? You are so stupid."
Chen Shiyi curled his lips.
"Are all of you young ladies from aristocratic families going to look like this?"
Wen Zhirou shook her head.
"We learn how to manage the household, how to manage the harem, how to interact with other ladies, and how to help our husbands in the court."
"That's right. When a couple is together, they should help each other, support each other, and accompany each other, rather than cultivate a body that men like, right?"
Wen Zhirou agrees.
"You are right, but not right. It depends on your status. We learn to be the mistress of the house, so we naturally have to know these things. But you are different. You are my brother's concubine, so you don't need to care about these things. If you want to be favored for a long time, you have to serve others. So you have to keep your body white and smooth, your waist weak and willow-like, show weakness, and know how to let men pity you."
After hearing this, Chen Shiyi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
She didn't want to be that kind of person.
How sad it would be to think about pleasing a man with your sex skills every day!
"Will I only be your brother's concubine in the future?"
Wen Zhirou smiled.
"Otherwise, with your current status, you are marrying up. There are only a few maids who can be promoted to a maidservant, let alone a concubine. Some girls from low-ranking officials can become my brother's concubines, which is considered a great honor for them. My brother can let you be his concubine, so you should be happy!"
Chen Shiyi felt a little depressed.
Later, I saw Wen Zhiheng coming back. His face was not a face and his nose was not a nose.
Wen Zhiheng was very confused.
Where had he offended her recently?
Wen Zhirou told him that Chen Shiyi has recently fallen in love with dressing up.
Wen Zhiheng heard it and thought, Oh, so that's how it is.
That dull-witted guy finally came to his senses and was willing to focus on himself.
It's time to dress up properly. I've been running around all the time lately, and my face is tanned and dark. I'm as thin as a monkey, which makes me look both pitiful and funny.
"Don't you know how to make health-preserving soup? Let her drink it for a while to heal her body. Otherwise, it will be useless no matter how much you dress her up."
Chen Shiyi had never drunk any health-preserving soup before. After drinking it for two months, she found that her body had indeed undergone great changes.
She's taller, her chest has gotten bigger, and her face has finally gained some flesh, so she doesn't look so scary anymore.
She used sister-in-law Su Niang's mirror to look at her face, and used sister-in-law's black ink brush to draw her eyebrows. Her hands were shaking so much that when she drew, she drew an earthworm.
Xue Lianxing laughed out loud when he saw this.
"Don't draw it, just keep it as it is normally, it looks so beautiful."
Su Niang patted Xue Lianxing on the side.
"Eleven, don't worry, just learn to draw slowly, and you will be able to do it in no time."
Chen Shiyi is very patient. She wants to dress herself up more beautifully.
A woman dresses up to please herself.
She hoped that the time when she went to see him would be the most beautiful.
Moreover, she had already found out the fastest way to get to the capital.
In the early morning, I drove to the county town, and took the earliest boat from the county town to the prefectural town. It took two hours. When I arrived at the prefectural town, it was just noon, the last boat back to the county town. After returning to the county town, I drove back to Ping'an Town...
That day, just tell the young master that you will be back very late.
Then go to Tianxiang Academy to find him, minus the odd moments on the way.
She had only one hour to spend with him.
What a treasure!
And there can't be any accidents during the journey, otherwise we won't be able to see it.
Chen Shiyi begged Xue Lianxing to go with him, but he was severely scolded by him.
"Have you ignored everything I told you before? I told you not to go see him, but why can't you understand?"
"The last time he came back, he insisted that I go see him. Otherwise, he would have to travel back and forth from the capital frequently, and I was afraid that he would be distracted from his studies. Besides, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I want to see him again."
Xue Lianxing sighed, he knew Chen Shiyi's temper, if he didn't agree, she would go alone secretly. The journey was long and he was really worried.
"This is just one time, it won't happen again."
Chen Shiyi nodded heavily.
The weather was good that day, and Xue Lianxing drove quickly to the ferry. He left his donkey cart at the ferry storage area and boarded the ship.
The big ship hoisted its sails and sailed downstream, much faster than by land.
Chen Shiyi deliberately wore that beautiful light blue dress with the scent of chrysanthemums. She braided her hair into a pigtail and threw it over her right shoulder. She tied a blue silk flower at the end of the braid.
She never put on any makeup on her face. Once she painted herself completely and scared herself, so she decided not to scare him.
Pavilions and towers are lined up one after another. Under the stacked rockery, the water flows gently. On the top, the dazzling sunlight leaks through the dark green banyan leaves, and a few fragmented shadows are sprinkled on the water, making the waves ripple.
Beside him, a handsome young man in a blue college robe was holding a scroll and quietly turning the pages.
"Just a word..."
When Pei Luoshu heard someone calling him, he raised his head slightly, then lowered it again to read the book in his hand.
"What is it?"
The man panted and spoke out of breath.
"There's someone outside the gate, someone is looking for you, it's a girl, her name is, Chen Shiyi..."
When Pei Luoshu heard Chen Shiyi's name, he quickly stood up, handed the book in his hand to his classmate, and ran quickly towards the gate outside the courtyard.
The breeze was blowing, his sleeves were fluttering, his blue robe was fluttering in the wind, and the hairband on his Confucian scarf was flying, making his handsome smile even more cheerful and unrestrained.
His eleven came to see him!
