Just such a light and quick work makeup makes you look as elegant as a chrysanthemum, fresh and elegant.

Dongmei's eyes widened with amazement. Is this still Qiuju?

It was like she had become a different person, no longer a maidservant, but more like a lady from a wealthy family.

The other ladies also had their own ladies put on their makeup, but time was limited and their makeup was more complicated and took more time.

In the limited time, some people have not had time to put on rouge, and some have not had time to put on lipstick.

Wu Bi Qiuju originally felt that she was no match for the nobles' first-class maids and was a little timid.

When I saw my makeup change, I was surprised and happy!

A woman who puts on makeup has an innate aura of confidence, like a surging river that cannot be stopped.

The five maids all have good foundations. If they were not good, they would not be able to serve the master.

Looking at it this way, the makeup of the other four girls still has some flavor of the Tang and Song dynasties, while Qiuju's makeup is more elegant and pure, especially the powder on her face does not have obvious fake white, it is more adherent, and the rouge is not smudged over a large area, but just lightly swept.

In the final voting session, no one actually voted for Xin'an County Lady Xiao Yuhong, but for Su Yuejian.

Because Su Yuejian is the youngest here, she doesn't arouse jealousy.

Su Yuejian smiled brightly when she saw the plate full of prizes.

Sun Jing, the daughter of the deputy commander of the army, said to Su Yuejian, "Sister Yue'er, your makeup technique is a little different. It looks plain at first, but it is very attractive after a long time. It makes people look more charming. With the hair accessories, it makes people look more elegant and graceful.

Before you put on makeup, you looked more like a martial maid, with a rigid and rigid appearance; but after your golden finger was used, you seemed to have changed into a different person, from a strong and powerful temperament to a delicate and elegant one, which really turned decay into magic! "

Xin'an County Lady Xiao Yuhong also felt the same way, and the other noble ladies echoed her, saying that it was indeed the case.

After Sun said this, everyone not only noticed the change in the way of applying makeup, but also noticed that the skin care lotion and glycerin that Su Yuejian used for the maid did indeed make the makeup more adherent after application, and did not look like a fake white mask.

After the makeup competition, everyone moved to a place with a breeze. The servants and maids of the noble lady each took out the skirts they had brought. They were colorful and very beautiful.

The grass was used as a mat, bamboo poles were inserted on all four sides, and then the skirts were spread out and connected and hung on the bamboo poles to form a temporary banquet tent, in which the ladies held their banquets.

This form of outdoor banquet was called "skirt-tent banquet" by people at that time.

Under the gentle caress of the breeze, the woman's colorful skirt flutters in the wind, which is so beautiful!

The servants placed all the tableware, wine, and cooked dishes brought by the horse-drawn carriage on the tables in front of the ladies of each family.

Considering that hot dishes would get cold outside and would become unpalatable once the oil solidified, all the dishes Su Yuejian brought were cold dishes.

In addition, it is difficult to satisfy everyone, so the cold dishes Su Yuejian brought were not all spicy. The servants served them in small plates so that each noble could taste them at will.

Assorted cold dishes, red date glutinous rice balls, cold bean sprouts and black fungus, spicy lotus root slices; husband and wife lung slices, braised food platter, salted duck, chicken shredded cold noodles... None of the ingredients are rare, but the presentation is very delicate, and the red and green color combination is very attractive.

Everyone thought the dishes Su Yuejian brought were ordinary, so they didn't have any expectations. They all knew that although she was a legitimate daughter, she was not favored by the mistress, so she should not be able to prepare decent delicacies.

Who would have thought that as soon as this dish was served, a spicy aroma wafted over, arousing people's appetite.

Dou Haiting from the Jia Ning Marquis's Mansion picked up a piece of Fuqi Feipian and said, "What is this made of? How can it be so delicious!"

Xin'an County Lady Xiao Yuhong was also tempted by the food. Is it so delicious?

So she took a piece, and as soon as she took a bite, her eyes lit up.

"It's spicy and fresh, and looks green, red, and emerald green. The color is attractive. Sister Yue'er, is this a dish you developed?"

Su Yuejian quickly replied, “I used the chili peppers that are popular in Beijing now to make some spicy delicacies.

If you don’t like spicy food, this dish and these two are fresh and not spicy, and are also very delicious. You can try them.”

Sun Jing took a bite of the cold chicken noodles and said, "Hey, try this. The noodles are chewy, cool, smooth and not greasy. I have never eaten noodles so delicious!"

Qi Wanying picked up a piece of marinated meat platter and said, "This duck gizzard looks ordinary, but once I put it in my mouth, I didn't expect it to taste so delicious. I have never eaten such a special food before. It is so delicious that I want to lick my fingers!"

The dishes brought by other noble ladies at the banquet were more about rare ingredients, exquisite presentation, and innovations in tableware and food boxes, each with its own strengths.

However, the food brought by Su Yuejian had the most shocking and direct impact on the taste buds, and won unanimous praise from everyone. They all said that they must invite Su Yuejian to the gathering in the future, and they would be guaranteed to enjoy the food with her around!

This skirt-tent banquet also promoted Su Yuejian's spicy and delicious food to a certain extent. The noble ladies of aristocratic families no longer rejected chili peppers, and dishes cooked with chili peppers tasted even better.

For a moment, the banquet of the ladies reached its climax and they were as happy as gods.

Musicians play music, food, wine, beauties and makeup are topics that are always popular.

Sun looked at these delicacies, seeming to be lost in thought.

At the end of the banquet, Su Yuejian gave each distinguished guest a set of gifts, wrapped in brocade.

After the ladies got on the carriage and opened the box, they saw the complete set of skin care products that Su Yuejian had taken out earlier.

All the ladies loved it very much.

Sun Jing, the daughter of the deputy commander, had actually been observing Su Yuejian quietly at the banquet. She felt that this girl was very talented and she wanted to make friends with her.

Holding this set of skin care products, the nanny beside Sun said, "Master, this Miss Su is not only excellent in medical skills, but also so good in other aspects! She has a good family background. Is it possible for her to become a strong rival for the master in the future?"

Sun Jing glanced at the nanny calmly, "She is just a young girl, you are worrying too much. Besides, when choosing concubines for the princes of Jing State, we always choose the daughters of poor officials, not the daughters of powerful people who threaten the imperial power. Didn't your father's official position rise slightly after I got the approval of the emperor and empress? Let's wait and see, this girl is interesting, I like her very much."

What Su Yuejian didn't know was that after this banquet, exaggerated makeup gradually became unpopular among the ladies of high rank, and they began to go for a calm and plain makeup instead.

For a time, all the noble ladies in the capital had faces as white as cream, eyes as black as lacquer, eyebrows as dark as smoke, and every detail was exquisite. They began to pursue a light and elegant style.

Noble ladies also began to pay attention to low-key luxury and connotation. Su Yuejian liked this kind of makeup style very much. In the future, when she goes out to parties, she will not stand out because of her light makeup.

On the way back by car, Su Yuejian recalled today. This relaxing day was so wonderful!

But she must be careful not to be corrupted by the comfortable life, as she still has a mission to accomplish.

Su Yuejian had to get up early the next day to go to Renxin Hall to work, treat patients and teach students.

Her self-discipline makes the other girls in the yard ashamed.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard. When the maids opened the door, they found that the visitor was from the eldest princess's mansion.

"Miss Su, our princess may be about to give birth. Please go over there and keep them company. They will feel at ease when they see you around."

When Su Yuejian calculated the date, it was the due date of Princess Changle Zhao Linger.

Women have their own midwives when they give birth, and the princess might be afraid of something unexpected, so she sent someone to invite Su Yuejian.

As long as Su Yuejian is around, both mother and daughter feel more at ease.
