Chapter 674 - Getting Married
In order to personally attend their young miss's wedding, all the Yu Family's shops were closed for the day and had signs that said 'the owner has an event for celebration'. The managers of these businesses, Yingtao, Yangliu, Hechun, and Xichun, were usually so busy every day that they rarely had the time to sit and rest their feet. Despite that, they all needed to congratulate their mistress on her special day.
As the complete fortune matron took a bold and resolute approach to her makeup, these loyal maidservants could only helplessly watch as their sweet and lovely young miss was turned into a white-faced, red-lipped blood-sucking monster.
Hechun's makeup skills were good and she wanted to come forward and give her young miss a beautiful makeover. Unfortunately, she was an orphan and was a servant bought by the Yu Family. For auspiciousness, all the people invited to do the makeup for the bride were all people who were fortunate in all corners of their life. Sadly, this era's makeup could only be described in one way: not flattering!
The complete fortune matron praised Xiaocao for having soft and silky black hair as she braided it and wound it around her head. She put on the head ornaments and was stopped by Xiaocao just as she was about to put on the headpiece, "It's only morning. It's still too early for me to get picked up. If I wear that for half a day my neck will break. How about waiting until the afternoon and let the maidservants put it on for me? Madam, you've worked hard. Ying Chun, please take the madam to the side hall for some tea and pastries!"
When the complete fortune matron heard there was good tea and pastries, her heart was full of joy. Who didn't know that the tea and pastries of the Yu Family were the best in the capital? Unfortunately, with her identity, she would never reach the level of Royal Princess Jinan. She got really lucky to be invited over to do makeup for Royal Princess Jinan, the future Princess Consort Xu. There was even tea and refreshments, how flattering!
Once the complete fortune matron left, Yu Xiaocao turned to Hechun and said, "Quick, help me wash this foundation off. How thick is this powder? It's like I rolled out of the flour jar!"
Hechun was hesitant. Yu Xiaocao stared at her and said, "Is it because I'm getting married now so you don't have to listen to my orders? I'm just telling you to wash it off and let you do my makeup, what are you worried about? You've followed me for so long, so when have I ever cared about societal views? If a couple's happiness is affected by the status of the person who puts on your makeup, what's the significance of such a fragile marriage?"
Wutong heard this and her expression changed slightly. She looked around the room and saw that the ones left in the room were all close servants. She breathed a sigh of relief and said in a placating manner, "Let's not talk about such sad things! Today is your wedding! Hechun, you can do what the young miss tells you to do. When has our young miss's decision ever been wrong?"
Seeing this, Hechun no longer hesitated. She picked up the cosmetics on the dressing table and gave her master a thin foundation layer. Her young miss's skin was bright and clear, so using too much powder would appear thick and unnatural. The young miss's eyebrows were very stylized, so just a slight sweep with the eyebrow brush was enough. For the area around the eyes, Hechun expertly drew on a fine line of eyeliner and blended in a faint pink eye shadow. This was paired with a pink blush and the corresponding lip color. This was the most suitable spring peach blossom makeup, natural and transparent, with a bit of sweet charm.
It had to be said that Hechun's makeup skills were better than the one who taught her. No wonder the newly launched cosmetic products for Blossoming Beauty were selling so well! Hechun also sighed that her young miss's base was so good that she didn't need too much makeup to achieve the ideal effect.
