"No, no, you misunderstood. That reporter used to follow us around, but now she's been transferred abroad. What I meant was, if it was an illegal pyramid scheme, she would have reported us long ago. How could it be your turn?"
"Then she's been brainwashed by you. Look at your amazing eloquence. You've got me completely stunned."
Ji Nianqin laughed and pointed at the hairpin on her neighbor's head.
"Where did you buy this?"
"What? It doesn't look good?"
"Let me show you a picture. This is a diagram of the makeup styles of women from different dynasties, with eyebrows and lips all included. Do you see it? It's not that you look bad wearing a hairpin in modern clothes. It's a bit out of place. But if you change your makeup a little, like slightly curling the ends of your eyebrows upwards, don't you think it would look much better with a hairpin? But it's a bit too seductive. I need to wipe it off a little. Then look again. Doesn't your face look fresh and natural?"
"You're right, it's quite impressive. It seems you have some skills. Are these all your apprentices?"
"No, they all came from ancient times. Didn't you see what they were wearing?"
"You probably go to bed too late every day and become confused, so you just made a hairpin to wear. As for inviting people from ancient times? Then tell me, what exactly do they do?"
"He's just an ancient soldier, but he thought our modern life is too good, so he traveled back in time."
"Time travel? Are you serious? I'm a crazy fan of time travel dramas and always dream of traveling back in time. If you really are from ancient times, can you take me back with you? I want to be a queen or something. I've heard that there are many people vying for favor in the harem. How many episodes do you think someone like me can survive?"
"I guess you'll only be in half an episode, because you're such a busybody. But the most taboo in ancient times was being too talkative. If you enter the palace and just gossip, you'll easily incur the Queen's displeasure. Only a very few will be beheaded, but it's not as horrible as it's portrayed in TV dramas, where they spend all day gossiping about other people's affairs. In fact, there were still many things to do in ancient times, but it was more difficult for girls to go out, so naturally, they wouldn't know a lot of things."
"Yeah, so if I go there, I should be considered very knowledgeable, right?"
"Almost. But it's not that I don't want to take you. It's just that the Sixth Prince is in a lawless state and no one can deal with him, so the people suffer."
"I can, I can."
"Oh, you're too confident, aren't you? It seems that in ancient times, many girls were timid and submissive, and we just need someone like you. If you want to go with me, then go ahead. Are you trying to win over the Sixth Prince?"
"I can use my eyebrows, no, my eyebrows, to make him fall in love with me."
"But we lack the means now. When the Advisor was here, he was researching a time machine, but it turned into a small sun that burned my hair, and he ended up getting sent into it himself."
"That's a really tragic story, but maybe I can help you, because I have a large collection of novels at home, including the one about Miss Chai Dai, in which you played the leading female role. Let's put it on the table and read it silently three times."
"Let's go. I can't sleep well with all these men snoring here..."
