Chapter 181: What is Abuse of Public Power for Personal Benefits?
"Are you old and ugly?" Gu Feixue leaned closer to look in the bronze mirror.
The second lady was still stunningly beautiful, especially her big, delicate eyes, which were so gorgeous that every blink of hers was captivating.
"Oh, ma'am, why do you have to belittle yourself? Let alone men, even a girl like me would be very happy to see you like this."
But Zhang Xueyue touched her temples and nitpicked: "I have white hair on my temples."
"Let me see." Gu Feixue took a closer look and indeed found a streak of snow-white mixed in with the dark blue. "That's easy. I'll dye your hair."
"Dye your hair?" Zhang Xueyue was slightly surprised. "What do you use to dye your hair?"
Gu Feixue smiled and said earnestly, "I know how to make hair dye. I can extract pigments from plants. The colors are bright and not monotonous. This can't be explained in a few words. Let's practice and verify the truth."
Her widowed marriage gave her plenty of free time, and she needed to make up for the gap the next day. Today she would solve the Nine Rings, tomorrow she would play with the Kongming lock, and the day after tomorrow she would read Huiwen poetry.
But these games eventually end.
Besides, she was a lady after all, and the maids kept their distance from her, so the unprecedented feeling of loneliness could never be filled.
Seeing Gu Feixue excitedly talking about making hair dye for herself, she was also happy.
Gu Feixue went to the pharmacy again.
To be honest, she came this time, saying that she was getting medicinal herbs for the lady, but actually she came for Yuchi Shuo.
No one paid any attention to her as she moved between the tall shelves.
This clinic is very large, and it has a wide variety of medicinal materials.
She collected things left and right, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly realized that the shelf above her head was very messy, as if someone had rummaged through it.
She had been paying attention all the way and didn't notice who was behind her.
At this moment, Gu Feixue stepped on the table curiously, and when she looked closely, she saw a box was opened, and a fragrant gas wafted out of it.
She had studied medicine in her previous life, and from the lingering fragrance she could already tell what it was, "This is Zouma Celery."
Celery is an uncommon poison, mainly found in the subtropics. It is a mutant plant. Although it is an herb, it has the shape of a woody plant. It is strong and hard, and looks like celery, emerald green. But in fact, it is extremely poisonous and can kill people instantly.
A small amount of this poison can induce vomiting, but if you consume too much, you will definitely die.
She was curious and couldn't figure out who took the celery from the box.
Regardless of all this, what does this have to do with me anyway?
She went out, mixed Polygonum multiflorum and some kind of fried soy sauce grass together and crushed them. Suddenly a spicy smell came to her face. She added palm oil, cassava flour, etc., and finally made a black paste.
The Second Madam was stunned. "What is this?"
"Hair dye, it will give you youthful and beautiful black hair." Gu Feixue had mixed this before and was now familiar with it.
Zhang Xueyue held her mouth and nose, feeling a little annoyed, but Gu Feixue had been busy all morning, so she couldn't refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and sit on a throne.
In a moment, the task was completed.
After washing, Zhang Xueyue looked at herself in the mirror and found that she looked radiant. Her previously gray and dry hair was now shiny and full. She was very happy and praised Gu Feixue highly.
"You're really amazing," she happily stood up and hugged Gu Feixue, "This is turning decay into magic. How did you do it? Write down the secret recipe and I'll give you money."
"What's the value of this? I'll write it down for you."
This was a very cost-effective thing to do, so she wrote down the secret recipe quickly, and the second wife immediately smiled.
"I can also do hair, would you like to give it a try?"
In her previous life, Gu Feixue had learned a complete set of cross-dressing procedures.
Ask why you want to learn this?
Answer: Do what’s cheap!
In her previous life, she had to carry out missions every now and then, and often she needed to switch her personality and change her appearance. The organization had sent a very powerful person to help her before.
Later, this person was killed during a mission, and since then she asked the organization to find someone to train her.
Before, I thought it was easy to see people styling their hair and dressing themselves, but among the 360 professions, which one is easy?
After various trainings, she has become proficient in cross-dressing.
Although she doesn't have all the tools for beauty and hairdressing, she can use the materials available.
When Gu Feixue brought the hot tongs, which were as hot as a branding iron, to Zhang Xueyue, she trembled with fear and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'll give you some wavy hair. It's so charming and exotic."
Zhang Xueyue swallowed her saliva, and her curiosity finally drove away her fear and suspicion.
She closed her eyes and waited. After a while, Gu Feixue had finished her work and handed the bronze mirror over again. Zhang Xueyue took a closer look and was immediately shocked. "You want me to go out with my hair down like this? It seems immoral."
Having said that, Zhang Xueyue still took out the bronze mirror carefully.
She took a closer look and found that the self in the bronze mirror was hot and unrestrained, and the hairstyle that she had never worn before did not look out of place at all. Because of this hairstyle, she looked even more charming and enchanting.
At this moment, Gu Feixue picked out some clothes and said, "Just wear this."
Zhang Xueyue obeyed his orders.
After Gu Feixue's design, the current Second Madam is completely different from before.
"Is this still me?" She cried with joy.
"Don't worry, you still have to put on makeup. This is just the beginning."
Gu Feixue used the only makeup she had to put on Zhang Xueyue. Zhang Xueyue looked at her and said, "Aren't we all willow-leaf eyebrows and distant mountain eyebrows? What are you doing with this?"
"This is the most attractive. This eyebrow makes you look even more charming."
She nodded.
In the afternoon, before leaving, Gu Feixue made some pearl powder and reminded her to use it. Zhang Xueyue was very happy. She went out for a walk and everyone was staring at her.
Zhang Xueyue was complacent, thinking that she would definitely stand out when her master came back tomorrow.
From the backyard to the front, Gu Feixue smelled a little bit of the fragrant scent of celery again.
She followed the smell and arrived at a house.
Inside the room, a dim light shone. In the dim candlelight, a woman in her thirties sat upright. Opposite her was a sharp-tongued young girl, who giggled, "What's the point of beauty? Don't women all grow old one day? Being treated like a flirtatious slut will only make them less valuable. Madam, your beauty is truly stunning."
The woman was flattered to the point of being flattered and actually thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Gu Feixue had good eyesight. She stared at the woman and found that she had a masculine appearance, especially her huge hooked nose, which gave her a sinister and weird feeling.
