Today can be said to be a disaster day for all brothels and Goulanwashes.
Yes, it is still past noon, and the peak period is still very early, but since Zuixianju hung the red lady sign in front of the door this morning, almost all the young men who like to hang out in the land of fireworks have gathered in Zuixianju.
Xianju, it is foreseeable that their business will be quite deserted tonight.
Although the recruitment notice stated that the red lady would not show up until You day, everyone was afraid that there would be no place, so they rushed there early in the morning and blocked Zuixianju. Surprisingly, the one who came today
The guests were all children from rich families, and not even half a scholar or intellectual was seen. Some of the intellectuals disdained to come, and some did come, but after seeing such a scene, they still left with good sense.
Obviously today is a day of carnival for the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich people.
The four young masters also gathered together again at Zuixianju. Even Fan Shaobai put down his business and went to Zuixianju to listen to music. To be honest, he hadn't felt this kind of atmosphere on the second floor for a long time, and his mood was very high.
Of course, the one with the highest interest today was Gao Yanei. There is absolutely no doubt about this. A group of young men surrounded him and listened to his bragging and spanking. It was a feeling that could not be described to outsiders.
Liang Cong really loved this kind of scene. He was sitting alone in a corner, quietly sipping wine and enjoying himself, but he was the most conspicuous in the whole hall.
Since Li Qi did not come, Xiaoyu also took up the banner of managing order. This was a test for her. After all, these young men were not easy to serve. Fortunately, Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu were familiar with her.
It won't make it difficult for her to make it, and of course there is a portion of Li Qi's thin noodles in it.
Wu Furong, who was hiding behind the counter, had seen the spending power of these young men. Just one hour at noon was equivalent to the previous day's sales. It was really terrible. Of course, this old man was also very happy.
Zuixianju is currently in a sea of joy. However, the Qin Mansion is shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Aunt Chen is running around with a group of maids, and people can be seen busy everywhere.
All this is just for one person. That is today’s protagonist, Ji Hongnu.
As today's protagonist, Ji Hongnu is sitting quietly in front of the bronze mirror. Looking at herself in the mirror, nervousness and excitement are constantly alternating in her bright eyes. After waiting for so many days, today is finally here.
When she stayed alone in the house before, she often imagined what it would be like if she went to Zuixianju to sing, and she was quite looking forward to it. But when this day actually came, she felt a little timid.
However, she would never allow herself to back down, because Li Qi had spent too much effort on her. She was not willing to let Li Qi's efforts go to waste.
It is commendable that Mrs. Qin actually put down her posture today and dressed up Ji Hongnu herself. However, her enthusiasm was not reciprocated. Instead, she was given nagging words full of dissatisfaction.
"Madam, do you know how to put on makeup? The red slave is here to sing, to be a celebrity, not to be a singer, let alone to be a costumer in our shop. You said you painted her face like a monkey's butt.
Yes, do you think this looks good? Don’t use Feng Yinu’s tactics on Hong Nu. They are not taking the same route. Lighter, lighter, as I said before, Hong Nu’s route
It’s an elegant and refined route, don’t look like a young lady standing on the street waving a red scarf, okay?”
Li Qi leaned against the dressing table, looking at Hong Slave's appearance, and his scalp was almost scratched with anxiety.
When the maids on the side heard Li Qi's long speech, they all lowered their heads and their whole bodies were trembling. Even Xiao Tao couldn't help but give Li Qi a blank look.
Mrs. Qin had to put makeup on Ji Hongnu here, and she had to endure Li Qi's irresponsible remarks there. Thanks to her good temper, she didn't like to argue with others, so she just suppressed her grievances and didn't say anything, and she still did her job meticulously.
Ji Hongnu dresses up.
But Li Qi didn't give up immediately. He suddenly sighed again, but before he could say anything, Ji Hongnu said: "Brother Li, I think Madam's painting is quite good." It seemed that even she was impressed.
can not watch anymore.
"What's nice? Can you guys have some sense of aesthetics?"
Li Qi almost shook his neck and said angrily: "Look, look at the mouth, it looks like two hams. Oh, do you women think this is beautiful? Even if you women are like this
I think so, but now all the people you see are men, is it okay to take care of our male compatriots?"
Mrs. Qin couldn't bear it anymore, put down her hands, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Madam, you know that I have always dealt with the situation but not the person." Li Qi said with a guilty conscience.
Mrs. Qin glanced at him with a dull expression and said calmly: "I'm tired, you can help Hong Nu paint."
Threatening me? Damn it! If I weren't afraid that you would say that I took advantage of the red slave, it would never be your turn.
Li Qi took retreat as an opportunity to advance: "This is not good, after all, men and women cannot be intimate."
This person is really hypocritical. Mrs. Qin frowned slightly, glanced at him, and said, "Do you still care about this?"
Li Qi said sarcastically: "I'm afraid you care."
"You go ahead and draw, I'll just watch here. I want to see what you can draw today." Mrs. Qin was really angry and sat down. Xiao Tao beside her immediately handed over a cup of tea.
She took the tea cup and took a sip.
"I paint, I paint."
Li Qi snorted softly and said, "Xiao Tao, take Red Slave to wash your face."
"Cough cough cough."
Mrs. Qin was so excited that she choked to death and almost cried because of her grievance. She had been working on it for half an hour, but Li Qi's words made her efforts go to waste, but she did not object.
I really don’t believe that Li Qi would help women dress up. If that was the case, then Li Qi would definitely be the number one person in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Ji Hongnu was in a dilemma. When she saw that Li Qi really wanted to help her dress up, she said anxiously: "Brother Li, I think this is fine."
"What's the matter? If you go out, aren't you going to lose my person? Change it." Li Qi waved his hand and said.
Ji Hongnu saw that Li Qi was a little impatient and did not dare to say anything more. He had to go and wash his face with Xiaotao.
When it comes to makeup, Li Qi is really not just talking about it. He used to help his wife with makeup, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. Instead, he thinks that being able to help his beloved woman put on makeup and get her approval is also a kind of happiness.
Of course, sometimes, he would dress up and go to bed with his wife, which was also a kind of boudoir fun.
His resentment towards the way women in the Northern Song Dynasty dressed up was no longer a matter of a day or two. It was as colorful as a rainbow. Of course, people like Mrs. Qin, Bai Qiannuo, Li Shishi and others were all naturally beautiful and rarely wore makeup.
Feng Yinu is an exception. If she wears heavy makeup, it will definitely be a fatal temptation for men. She is too charming, but there are few women in the world who can have such a naturally charming face.
While Ji Hongnu was washing her face, Li Qi immediately asked someone to change the vermilion rouge into pink.
When the red slave came out, he started to dress up the red slave.
Mrs. Qin sat aside and was a little surprised when she saw that Li Qi's technique was extremely skillful. It was definitely not the first time he had done this kind of thing. She secretly thought that it was Qiniang who taught her.
But she quickly rejected this idea because Bai Qiannuo came.
"Yeah. Brother Li, what are you doing?" Bai Qiannuo was frightened by Li Qi's actions as soon as he entered the door.
Li Qi seemed very calm and said: "Qiniang, you are here. I am helping Hong Nu make up her face. By the way, have you brought your people?"
"Oh, it's already here."
Bai Qiannuo replied subconsciously, and then asked: "You know how to put on makeup?"
"It's necessary." Li Qi said casually.
Bai Qiannuo wanted to ask again, but seeing his serious expression, she didn't dare to disturb him, so she had to ask Mrs. Qin for help. Mrs. Qin was confused now and gave him two innocent looks.
Bai Qiannuo was extremely curious and walked up to take a look. She didn't believe that Li Qi had such ability.
Li Qi didn't care so much anymore. Luo Zidai drew Ji Hongnu's eyebrows, and then used Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder to apply a light layer of foundation on Ji Hongnu's cheeks. Ji Hongnu's skin was already very fair.
Adding a touch of crimson will undoubtedly enhance the beauty and make it the icing on the cake.
The confusion in Bai Qiannuo's eyes gradually turned into shock, and then she thought that Li Qi had never done makeup for her, and she felt jealous of Ji Hongnu, and her jealousy increased. But she still said sincerely: "Hongnu, you are so beautiful.
"
Ji Hongnu's face was now full of happiness, and she said shyly: "Sister Qi'er, you are the real beauty."
Li Qi, who was still in the mood to listen to their chat, began to help Ji Hongnu comb her hair.
Mrs. Qin was stunned when she saw that he could comb his hair. Didn't this man not even know how to comb his hair in a bun before?
Of course Li Qi didn't know how to style Northern Song Dynasty women's hair, but he had watched a lot of martial arts dramas and remembered some of the beauties' hair styles. He divided Ji Hongnu's long hair into three parts and hung a bunch behind his chest.
There are two bunches on the head, parted directly against the scalp, and the bangs curve upward along the eyebrows, adding a bit of heroism to this beautiful face.
"hairpin."
Xiao Tao immediately handed over a box studded with jewels. It looked like something valuable.
Li Qi turned around and glanced, and saw that the hairpin inside was either gold or silver. He frowned and said, "Whose is this? It's so tacky."
Mrs. Qin said calmly: "This is my dowry."
"Uh...it's so cheesy, the saints have already been buried."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Ms. Lu, bring me the things."
Lu Meimei immediately handed over two small boxes.
When Li Qi opened the box, Bai Qiannuo looked surprised. The first item was an extremely simple jade hairpin, which was quite ordinary. The key was the second item, which was a butterfly-shaped white jade hairpin. It was not big, but
But very delicate.
This was carefully prepared by Li Qi for Ji Hongnu. What he hated most was that in the Northern Song Dynasty, both men and women loved to put flowers and plants on their hair. It was so tacky.
"alright."
Li Qi let out a long breath and said.
When Ji Hongnu looked at herself in the mirror, her face was full of surprise and she was speechless. Mrs. Qin also came over. This ancient hairstyle made her eyes light up, and she felt very fond of Li Qi in her heart.
He fell to the ground in admiration and said with a wry smile: "If I had known you had this ability, I wouldn't have bothered you just now."
Bai Qiannuo looked at Ji Hongnu blankly, with envy and joy in his eyes.
Only then did Li Qi notice her, quietly came to her side, took her little hand, and whispered: "Silly girl, we still have a lifetime."
This simple sentence made Bai Qiannuo burst into tears of joy, and there was no trace of jealousy in her heart...)
