    [1] "Oil Gourd. Emerald quilt pressed by cold and embroidered wormwood" Wang Shifu. Yuan song

    Emerald quilt grows cold and presses embroidered yin, and Hugh smokes orchid musk;

    Just smoke out the orchid musk deer, and keep it warm.

    ? Last night, there was a good tip to seduce,

    Today, the characters in Yutang are difficult to get close to.

    During these times, sitting and restless, sleeping and restless,

    I want to wait for the boarding, but I am unhappy, and I am bored when I am idle.

    Every day, I feel sleepy and drowsy.

    Yesterday Ruyan was ordered by the old lady to invite Zhe Du for a drink today, but she didn't tell Meipan when she came back.  Therefore, Yu Meipan had no idea that her mother had finished entertaining Zhe Du today.

    Ruyan thinks this way: If she tells Meipan, she will be so excited that she won't be able to sleep all night. Being a bride today must be mentally weak and not good-looking!

    Plus, letting her know today can also catch her off guard.  Therefore, Meipan is like asking a puppet, the thread is always held in other people's hands, and she doesn't know anything about herself.

    Today, Yu Meipan is still dressed in homely attire, working as a female celebrity upstairs and writing a few words for entertainment.

    Ruyan trotted upstairs, a little out of breath, so she stood at the door for a while to make up her mind, then went into the back room and said, "Sister Pan, Sister Pan!"

    Meipan saw that Ruyan was blushing and panting, as if she had come here in a hurry, and thought: What happened again?  He hurriedly asked, "Ruyan, so flustered, what happened?"

    Ru Yan smiled, "Fortunately, I was still standing outside the side door for a while! Otherwise, I will scare you again. Nothing happened. The old lady is entertaining guests in the inner hall, and ordered me to invite the young lady to salute."

    After hearing this, Meipan thought to herself, mother treats guests, why must I go?  So he said, "What kind of guests did mother invite? I don't feel well, so I won't go!"

    "Sister Panpan, do you know who to invite?"

    "In the past two days, I haven't gone forward. How can I know who I invited? Whoever it is, I don't want to go anyway."

    "Miss, you don't need to invite others, but you must go to invite this person, you must go!"

    "Si Nizi, hurry up and tell me, who is it?"

    Ru Yan was even happier, "Miss, come here with your ears!"

    Mei Pan thought, what is wrong with this little girl today, she is being sneaky, telling someone to "come over with her ear", and there is no one else in the room.  Although I thought so in my heart, my ears still leaned over, "Speak quickly!"

    "Please be a complete gentleman!"

    When Meipan heard this, she couldn't help being overjoyed.  I thought to myself, if my senior brother hadn't saved my life, how could I be able to live happily with my whole family today?  His great kindness must be repaid, and it is time to set up a banquet, decorate with lanterns and festoons, respect him sincerely, and entertain him. How could I not go?

    What's more, the lovesickness for nearly a month can be paid back today.  When my mother ordered me to go out, it must be to fulfill the promise of marriage at that time.  In this way, you don't have to worry about lovesickness anymore.

    These words were originally from the heart, but they blurted out subconsciously, saying: "Ah! He is the one who invited me, so I must go even if I am sick!"

    After hearing this, Ruyan laughed loudly, scratched her face with her index finger and said, "Sister Panpan, are you ashamed, are you ashamed!"

    Meipan blushed immediately, and couldn't even raise her head. How could she even reveal her innermost thoughts, and gave this unruly little girl another opportunity to make fun of her.  So she said with a pretty face: "Damn girl, see if I don't beat you!"

    Having said that, Meipan raised her hand, as if to fight, but she was really happy in her heart.  He asked again: "Ruyan, did my mother make an impromptu decision today after finishing inviting her husband?"

    "No, it was yesterday. Yesterday, the old lady ordered me to invite my husband-in-law to be our guest today."

    "Chunlan called you yesterday for this reason?"

    "yes."

    "Then you already knew yesterday, why didn't you tell me?" As he spoke, he gave Ruyan a fierce look.

    "Sister Panpan, don't be angry. I'm afraid that if I tell you in advance, I will be like Mr. Wan, so happy that I can't sleep all night. I won't be energetic today as a bride."

    After hearing this, Meipan blushed again and said, "Ah~, spit!"

    "Sister Panpan, you know today, aren't you happier?"

    "Look at what I'm wearing, what do I look like!"

    Ru Yan smiled and said: "It doesn't look like a bride! Sister Panpan, don't worry, I will dress you up soon." Saying this, she ordered the little maid to bring up the washing water.

    Ruyan asked Meipan to sit in front of the dressing table, and took off the burden of the mirror, Meipan hurriedly looked at herself in the mirror, feelingToday I seem to be more beautiful than before, I really feel sorry for myself!

    Ru Yan gently opened the black hair for the young lady, and while combing it, she ordered the little girl who was waiting by the side: "Xia Lian, go and report to the old lady, the young lady is dressing up, and she will go in a while." Ruyan is afraid that Zhe  Du was anxiously waiting, so he asked the little girl to inform first.

    Xia Lian was a young girl who had just been accepted, she agreed and went forward to report.

    [2] "New Water Order. Just painted a pair of moths under the blue screen window]" Wang Shifu. Yuan song

    Just now I drew a pair of moths under the green screen window,

    Wipe off the powdery fragrance on Luo Yi,

    Just put your fingertips lightly on the dimple.

    If it wasn't for the startled person, he would still be lying under the embroidered quilt.

    Ruyan skillfully combed Meipan into a Japanese bun, two jade hairpins tied the dark clouds, a double-bead hairpin made of eight treasures and a hundred beads was inserted in front, and a pair of moon bead rings hung on her ears.  There are not many jewelry, but it already looks like jewels, elegant and luxurious.

    Meipan likes light makeup. She does it herself, thinly applying vermilion powder on her face, lightly dyed with rouge, light spring mountains, and full of autumn water, making her look extraordinarily charming.  She asked Ruyan: "Matchmaker, look at the eyebrows I painted, how dark or dark?"

    Ruyan smiled and said, "Sister Panpan, it's useless to say it, it's best to ask him."

    Meipan didn't understand for a while, and asked: "Who are you going to ask?"

    Ru Yan said: "Ask Xiao Lang in front of the hall."

    Meipan blushed with embarrassment, and said, "Shh! Stop talking nonsense!" After finishing speaking, she lightly pasted a golden plum-blossom-shaped forehead[1] between her eyebrows, and smiled lightly at the mirror.  , I am very satisfied.

    Ru Yan said: "Miss, your face is so tender that it can be blown to pieces, Mr. Wan is a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation!"

    "Sister, you really know how to exaggerate, can my face be blown to pieces?"

    Notes

    [1] forehead yellow

    An ancient Chinese women's beauty decoration, also known as "goose yellow", "crow yellow", "young yellow", "sticker yellow" and "flower yellow".  It gets its name because it is painted with yellow pigment or pasted on the forehead.

    The custom of smearing yellow on the foreheads of women in ancient my country originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties or earlier, about the same as Huadian.  This may have something to do with the widespread spread of Buddhism in China. At that time, temples were revived across the country, sculpting Buddha bodies and opening grottoes became common practice.  Inspired by the gold-painted Buddha statues, women also dyed their foreheads yellow, and a custom of dyeing their foreheads yellow developed over time.

    According to the Southern Dynasty Song Wu Zeng's "Nenggaizhai Manlu. The Beginning of Things" records: "Zhang Yunsou's "Shi Liaolu" said: "Hu women use yellow things to paint their faces like gold, which is called Buddha makeup." I press: Emperor Xuan of the Later Zhou Dynasty  The crown prince passed on the throne, and he called himself Emperor Tianyuan. Women in the world were not allowed to wear makeup. Since they are not officials, they all have yellow faces and ink makeup, so I know that the makeup of captives has been yellow for a long time." It seems that this beauty method originated from Hu Fu.  The ancient foreign beauty eyebrows spread among the Han people as an imported culture, just like the introduction of hair dyeing, eyebrow tattooing, and double eyelid methods in modern times, it is foreign for China.

    From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, women loved to paint yellow on their foreheads as an embellishment.  Because the yellow color is thickly accumulated between the foreheads and looks like a hill, it is also called "forehead mountain".  In the Tang Dynasty, there was another kind of dipping crow yellow, which was called "crow yellow".  Emperor Liang Jianwen of the Southern Dynasties' poem "Give a Beauty to a Play": "Tong An's servant girl is pulled out, but the forehead is yellow."  "Photography Song": "The Huangyin forehead mountain is as light as dust, and the emerald scales and red sweet-scented osmanthus are full of frequency." Tang Yu Shinan's poem "Yingzhao mocked the flower girl": "Learning to paint crows and yellows is half done, and the hanging shoulders and Zen sleeves are too naive.  .

    ? Yellow method

    According to literature records, there are two main ways to paint women's forehead yellow, one is dyeing and painting, and the other is pasting.

    (1) Dyeing and painting

    Dyeing is painting on the forehead with a brush dipped in yellow.  There are two specific methods of dyeing and painting: one is the flat coating method (full forehead coating), as described in Tang Pei Qianyu's poem "Ode to Pontoon Water Splashing Prostitute Clothes": "Full forehead goose golden thread clothes".  One is the half-paint method, apply half of the forehead, or up or down, and then transition with clear water, from deep to shallow, showing a smudged appearance.  The poem "Dancing Mei Niang" by Gengxin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty "the eyebrows are thick and straight, the forehead is light and yellow and fine", and the poem "Singing Song Ji" by Nanliang Jianghong "thin temples are about yellow, and the face is light and thin", all refer to this method of painting  .

    (2) paste

    The pasting method is easier than the dyeing and painting method. This kind of forehead yellow is made of yellow materials and cut into thin flake ornaments, which can be pasted on the forehead with glue when used.  Because it can be cut into shapes such as stars, moons, flowers, and birds, it is also called "flower yellow".  Chen Xuling's "Fenghe Chanting Dance" poem in the Southern Dynasties "raises the sleeves and brushes the yellow flowers", the "Mulan Ci" in the Northern Dynasties "When the window is arranged on the temples, the mirror is decorated with yellow flowers", and the Tang Cuiye's "Treading Lyrics" "The emerald post flowers are yellow", etc.  Refers to this ornament.  Strictly speaking, it has broken away from the scope of dyeing forehead yellow, and is more close to the decoration of Huadian.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)?
