I have never seen my appearance so clearly. Now that I see it, I might as well use a bronze mirror to reflect it. At least these pockmarks and wrinkles cannot be seen.
As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind...
But now, I have seen everything! My mother-in-law has seen a real version of herself that makes her disgusted. Can she be happy?
Immediately he threw a mirror.
Haitang was so distressed, so she hurriedly hid the remaining mirror. This thing she had worked so hard to build was just thrown away. Haitang was so heartbroken.
Looking at her mother-in-law's face, Haitang felt comforted. She would do what she wanted quickly...
But the mother-in-law looked very anxious, and she was too embarrassed to say it clearly in front of everyone, let alone get angry with Haitang.
The mother-in-law took the begonia into the house.
"What have I asked you for? You didn't give me a big fat grandson, and you didn't let Datong find a concubine. I obeyed you. Please do something for me. Why is it so difficult?" the mother-in-law said unhappy.
Begonia.
"I promise you, I will turn all your white hair black." Haitang agreed bravely.
"Hurry up, I can't wait any longer. There are still big things to do." Her mother-in-law's casual words gave Haitang an idea.
"What big thing needs to be done?" Haitang took the opportunity to ask.
As soon as her mother-in-law spilled the beans, she immediately changed the topic elsewhere.
"Give me your mirror again." The mother-in-law looked at Haitang and hugged her tightly.
"You'd better throw this away..." Haitang put the mirror behind her, picked up a teacup from the table and handed it to her mother-in-law.
"What did I throw? I want to see my old face!" The mother-in-law gave Haitang a roll of her eyes and put down the teacup.
"Then we have agreed. If you fall again, your hair will turn yellow..." Haitang said tentatively. She was really afraid that her mother-in-law would get excited and shake her hand, causing another mirror to break.
"It all depends on you, it all depends on you." My mother-in-law agreed.
Only then did Haitang tentatively give her a mirror.
I saw the old lady looking at herself in the mirror, pinching her wrinkles and stranding her hair, as if she were looking at a stranger.
"I'm really old, really old, and my skin is all loose, hey..." The old lady sighed and put the mirror aside.
"I will make your hair black as soon as possible." Haitang saw her sad look and thought that one day she would also grow old. What woman wants to grow old, so she decided to make a hair dye.
"Do you want black, yellow, or miso color?" Haitang asked.
Making one color can also make other colors, which is similar to dyeing cloth.
"Yellow? Doesn't that mean it's a weasel? It's a big sauce color, tsk tsk, it looks like chicken daddy. The neighbors thought the chickens and ducks flew to their heads. No, no, it's going to be black." The mother-in-law stared at Bai Haitang, still thinking in her heart.
Damn it, why did this wife ask her to get a hair dye and come up with so many colors? Isn’t that just trying to deceive people?
"I'll go get ready right now," Haitang said.
"Hurry up, I have big things to do," my mother-in-law urged.
Haitang left her mother-in-law's house and thought about how to make a natural hair dye.
A very important raw material is impatiens, also called henna, and its pollen is used.
In this winter, there are no flowers, let alone pollen. My mother-in-law really gave herself a big problem.
To dye your hair black, in addition to henna powder, you also need two medicinal materials, Polygonum multiflorum and Rehmannia glutinosa, which can be purchased at county pharmacies.
