Gu Qingning was feeling a little bored, so she simply jumped out of bed.
"Okay, okay. There will definitely be some pretty girls and boys from the song and dance troupe performing at the social gathering tomorrow! Also, there will definitely be a lot of delicious food there, and I can even come and see how you train!"
In this era, all the dancers are natural, and each one is more beautiful than the other.
Gu Qingning really wanted to go and see it for herself, just to enjoy the sight.
After hearing her words, Lu Changqing suddenly looked serious and hugged her tightly: "Don't worry, the food made by the fraternity is not as delicious as mine, and the male actors performing there are not as good-looking as me!"
Gu Qingning: "..."
I really don't know what kind of jealousy he is eating.
It would be fine if she was jealous of the male actor, she just wanted to try the cooking skills of the kitchen team, is there any need to be jealous about this?
Gu Qingning was speechless.
The next night, she dressed up carefully.
She chose a light blue dress with thin white lace trim on the cuffs. It was neither too conspicuous nor too indistinguishable from the crowd. Her whole body seemed to be shrouded in moonlight, as smooth as jade.
Seeing that everyone else had their hair combed up, she also tied her long black hair into two buns at the back of her head. She looked elegant and beautiful, like a fairy from otherworldly realm.
When Aunt Lu saw her, her eyes lit up instantly: "Hey, Xiao Gu, you are already beautiful. With the way you are dressed today, you are really going to stun us women!"
She had a loud voice, and when she started shouting, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
The moment everyone saw her, there was amazement in their eyes.
Gu Qingning met those gazes openly, holding Aunt Lu's hand, and completely ignored those envious or jealous glances.
Aunt Lu looked at her for a long time and couldn't help but sighed and said, "Xiao Gu, where did you get this skirt? It looks a bit like a braid, but when you look closely, it's different. It's so unique and beautiful!"
Although Aunt Lu is not young, she is still very coquettish!
After all, Aunt Lu was also a famous beauty in this compound back then.
Gu Qingning looked at her and said, "Auntie, you have a really good figure. You have maintained it very well. I have a few clothes here. You can try them on."
Aunt Lu's eyes sparkled when she heard this, but she was also a little timid: "Forget it, I'm so old, I'm already a yellow-faced woman. If I dress so gaudy, people will definitely think I'm an old witch!"
Gu Qingning quickly held her hand.
"Aunt Lu, you are the most beautiful aunt in our compound. If you don't dress up, who else in our compound would dare to dress up? Besides, don't you have the right to pursue beauty when you get older?
All my clothes are made by myself, and I guarantee they are different from anything you have seen out there. Why don’t you try them on? You can also surprise your Old Lu!"
Aunt Lu touched her hair uncomfortably and said, "We're already so old, an old couple, and our children are grown up. What else can we be surprised about..."
Gu Qingning ignored her and dragged her over.
Soon, Aunt Lu changed into a dark blue dress with a cinched waist.
"This color is really beautiful. It makes my skin look whiter. I look several years younger all of a sudden!"
Aunt Lu was afraid that she would dress too conspicuously and be laughed at by a group of people. Therefore, she was very satisfied with this dress which looked like just a dark blue long skirt. She felt that it was both low-key and beautiful.
In this era, the clothes most people wear are only in four colors: black, white, gray and blue.
There is no way around it. The dyeing technology of that era is limited after all, so young girls like to wear bright colors, especially bright red, which is the most popular.
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Actually, your fair skin is more suitable for wearing brighter colors, but since you can't accept it for the time being, then start with clothes like this!"
Aunt Lu is a very good model, mainly because she is beautiful and has a good personality. She also has a very good relationship with many people in the courtyard.
Therefore, by letting her be a model, they can get free publicity for their clothes.
You will be able to continue to develop your business in Beijing.
As Gu Qingning spoke, she put on a light nude makeup.
Aunt Lu kept making excuses: "I'm not a young girl anymore, why should I wear makeup? If I put on bright red blush, won't my face look like a monkey's butt?"
Gu Qingning smiled.
Cosmetics were very limited in that era, but she still found some cosmetics from abroad on the black market.
Of course, she tore off all the stickers on the foreign language packaging.
Aunt Lu looked at these bottles and jars with great curiosity. It was obvious that she had never seen such rare things before.
Gu Qingning mixed a foundation that was similar to Aunt Lu's skin color to help cover up the blemishes on her face.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now!"
As soon as Aunt Lu opened her eyes, her jaw dropped in shock.
In the mirror, she looked like a completely different person. Her foundation was light and there was no trace of makeup at all, giving people the feeling that she was naturally in good spirits.
The lip gloss was even more amazing, almost invisible, making her look several years younger.
"Oh my god, when you dress like this, I feel like I'm 20 years old again!"
Aunt Lu was no longer as shy as before, and could not help but twist and turn in front of the mirror, admiring her appearance.
"Look, you look so good dressed up like this. Why don't you go show it to our Uncle Lu?"
Gu Qingning took her hand and went straight to the social gathering.
As soon as she appeared, she quickly attracted a lot of attention.
"Who is that lesbian? She's so pretty, isn't she?"
"I've never seen them before. They must be the families of the new soldiers!"
"She's even prettier than those girls in the chorus, and what she's wearing is really nice too. She's like a fairy descending to earth!"
Many people around couldn't help but sigh sincerely.
Especially the girls in the army, they couldn't help but gather around.
"Which tailor made this dress? It's so beautiful! Your hairstyle is beautiful too. How did you do it? Teach me!"
Gu Qingning patiently shared her experiences with these girls.
"I made these clothes. Don't they look good?"
When the girls heard this, they couldn't help but feel envious.
"Oh my god, you're so skillful, aren't you?!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Gu Qingning quickly pushed Aunt Lu out.
"I also made this suit. What do you think?"
