I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Just as Chen Bianbian's makeup was done, Xia Zhi came in excitedly and said that the general and his entourage would arrive at the main gate in about half an hour.

He also said that the old lady was dressed very formally and solemnly, while the aunt was dressed in bright and colorful clothes, as if she wanted to put on all the good things.

Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian couldn't help laughing when seeing Xia Zhi's angry and contemptuous words.

Xia Zhi looked up and wanted to scold the young lady for paying attention to etiquette and not laughing loudly in public.

Unexpectedly, when she looked up and saw the young lady, she was stunned...

She knew that the young lady was beautiful, but her beauty was melancholy, quiet and delicate.

And now she is so beautiful that she can't describe it...

All I can say is that the young lady’s current beauty has nothing to do with melancholy, quietness, or weakness.

But she makes people want to get close to her. Her makeup is clean, as if she is not wearing any makeup, but she is much more beautiful than usual.

Seeing Xia Zhi's expression, Shangguan Yue curled her lips, not even looking at the seemingly light makeup, which was actually a high-end version of her natural makeup.

The more powder you apply, the better. The goal is to create a thin and translucent skin texture.

First, apply a thin layer of powder of the same skin color to touch up and conceal blemishes, and then use powder that is slightly lighter than your skin color to set the makeup. Since it is a small face, I added some whiter powder to the cheekbones and apples of the cheeks.

The eye makeup focuses on the eye line, making the eyes look big and bright.

Eyebrows should not be too thin, as they will appear too weak like Lin Daiyu.

It can't be too thick, as it will appear too masculine and lose the feminine beauty.

"Summer solstice, the soul is back! Hahaha..."

Chen Bianbian's laughter was even more chaotic, and he was staggering from side to side.

"Madam! Pay attention to your manners. But are you wearing any makeup? I look like I'm not wearing any makeup, but I'm still very beautiful!"

Xiazhi is still immersed in research...

"Xiazhi, how far is it from here to the main entrance?"

Shangguan Yue said.

"Ah? Oh! Miss, it will take about three quarters of an hour to get to the main gate. We must hurry. The old lady and Aunt Zhang have already left for the main gate to wait for us."

"That... that... mother, we have to leave too. We only have one hour. It will take us 45... ka... minutes to get to the main gate.

Although it’s not summer, I’m not pretty even if my makeup doesn’t fade after walking this far.”

"Yes, Xiazhi, you and Xiaoman should go to the front yard and find two servants to carry a sedan chair. If you are unwilling to come, you must pay more money to make it happen."

Chen Bianbian also became anxious.

Shangguan Yue was also anxious, but it was useless to be anxious. There were no cars in ancient times, and his stepfather went directly to the palace to report, and he was exhausted. He probably thought the emperor would let him rest for a while before going home!

I hope this is a good emperor.

……

Without mobile phones or clocks, the long wait seemed like a century.

Finally, the latecomers were seen. Two servants, about thirty years old, were carrying an old, paint-chipped sedan chair and walking slowly towards them.

Xia Zhi and Xiao Man hurried to Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian and patted their chests:

"Fortunately, the maids are not out today because the general is coming back. This sedan chair is still used by the maids when they go out to do business and purchase things. Madam, please use it for now.

There are still about two quarters of an hour before noon, Madam, please hurry up and get on the sedan chair."

"Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry! Everything will be fine in the future."

Chen said as he spoke.

"What are your names?" Shangguan Yue raised her eyes and stared at the two servants.

"My servant Zhang San."

"Minion Li Si."

The two of them answered nonchalantly.

The young lady and the eldest daughter were like abandoned children. They never left the house and rarely went out of the house.

No one else knows the general's wife, they only know his concubine Zhang Shurou.

Therefore, the servants in the mansion did not take Junlanyuan seriously.

If the two maids hadn't given them ten taels of silver, they would not have been willing to take this errand.

Go to the main gate and wait for the general to come back. If you can please the general, you may get his favor and be able to serve him, which is much better than being a slave.

"I advise you to leave some room for maneuver. No one knows what the future will be like. Things will change over time. Do your duty as a slave."

Looking at Shangguan Yue, who was only 7 years old but had a calm expression and sharp eyes, the two people who wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks stopped talking involuntarily.

Although the sedan chair is old, it is quite wide. Perhaps the maid in this mansion is well-off, so the interior is quite comfortably furnished.

Xia Zhi helped Chen Bianbian and Shangguan Yue into the sedan chair and ordered the bearers to start immediately.

As expected, under the coercion and inducement, the speed was not underestimated. The journey that should take three quarters of an hour was reached in less than two quarters of an hour.

Shangguan Yue ordered them to stop about 100 meters before the gate.

How could the wife and the eldest daughter let the guests see them sitting in the sedan chair to avoid unnecessary discussion and gossip?

And you will have some free time to fix your makeup. Otherwise, after being jostled in the small and stuffy sedan for half an hour, your makeup will be a little smudged and you will need to touch it up.

Hearing the sound of the old lady and guests talking outside the gate, Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems it is not too late, the general has not returned yet.

It's time to show you how charming I am. Chen Bianbian smiled in an unfathomable way.
