"A woman's appearance is what pleases her", what a beautiful sentence, but Zhang Huaijin obviously used too much force.

Originally, the aesthetics of this era were a bit weird. Women's makeup in the Tang Dynasty used white as the base and red fat as the lining. The emphasis was on heavy colors and heavy application, with clear contrast. If you really don't understand, you might as well refer to the makeup of modern Japanese geishas.

, you can vaguely find the fashions of the prosperous Tang Dynasty,

At this moment, Zhang Huaijin's face looked like a monkey that had been caught, and then he painted on the monkey's buttocks with red and white paint as a prank. After finishing the painting, the prankster threw away the paintbrush and left, but the monkey was complacent and thought it had been reborn.

Become human.

Gu Qing couldn't appreciate her beauty, no matter whether he was straight or not.

Gu Qing's frightened look made Zhang Huaijin very hurt, and he stood in the front hall with his mouth aggrieved.

"Brother Gu, am I not beautiful like this?" Zhang Huaijin asked with hurt eyes.

Gu Qing touched his chin and decided to discuss an academic issue with her that spanned a thousand years.

"Do you think you are beautiful like this?" Gu Qing asked.

Zhang Huaijin straightened his towering bun and said: "It took me two hours to make the makeup. They said it was the most beautiful makeup for ladies in the Tang Dynasty. The female relatives of the foreign envoys in the Sifang Pavilion of Honglu Temple were all

They are all trying to imitate it.”

Gu Qing asked from his soul: "You have such a ghostly look... Well, what is so good about this beautiful look? Can you tell me more specifically? For example, why are your eyebrows painted like this? What kind of aesthetic meaning does it represent?

For example, why are your cheeks painted two bright reds, as if you have been slapped countless times? For example, your lips are white on both sides, with a little scarlet in the middle, just like a vampire using a straw to suck blood, pretending to be elegant, and its beauty reflects

Where?"

Gu Qing finally added: "The most important thing is...are you afraid when you look in the mirror?"

Zhang Huaijin lowered his head, his small shoulders suddenly slumped, and he said frustratedly: "I know, you don't like the way I look now..."

Gu Qing saw her disappointed look, and no matter how slow he was, he understood that he might have hurt her, so his mind was racing, searching for jokes about how to coax women in his previous life.

After searching for a long time, Gu Qing gave up. In his previous life, he had always regarded jokes about how to coax women as useless knowledge. He had always automatically filtered them out and never remembered a single bit.

If you don’t have any women, who can you use them to coax?

But Gu Qing couldn't bear to see Zhang Huaijin look sad, so he decided to show off himself.

"Actually... it's not that ugly. I think it's quite... uh, a novelty-like beauty, yes, a novelty-like." Gu Qing covered his heart when he said this, his conscience seemed to be aching, but he could

Hold it back.

The little girl was indeed easy to coax, and she was happy with just one sentence. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of "curiousness", Gu Qing must have praised her when he said the word "beauty."

"Really? Isn't it really ugly?" Zhang Huaijin put his colorful face in front of Gu Qing and said happily: "Then take a closer look at my face. After looking at it for a long time, you will definitely find that it is actually very beautiful, right?

?”

Gu Qing's breathing suddenly stopped. At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself. Why should he say such unscrupulous words? A little girl's occasional setbacks are actually more conducive to tempering her life.

"Look, my makeup is really beautiful, but you didn't look carefully..." Zhang Huaijin said reluctantly.

Gu Qing held his breath and looked at her seriously. In the next moment, he immediately looked away, looked up at the beam and said: "Okay, I give up. I'm sorry, I really can't appreciate it. Go and wash your face quickly, otherwise we will

The two of them broke up."

Half an hour later, Zhang Huaijin sat in front of Gu Qing with an unhappy look on his face. His white and pleasant appearance was particularly pleasing to the eye, and his unhappy look was also pleasing to the eye. He had a kind of innocent and innocent beauty, and his face was as fragile as a piece of cake.

The carefully carved suet-fat jade makes people want to hold her in their mouths and bury her.

"Is my current appearance considered welcoming?" Zhang Huaijin glared at him angrily.

Gu Qing nodded approvingly: "It looks good! It's much more pleasing to the eye. Although he is a bit girly, his flaws are not hidden and he is still a good brother."

Zhang Huaijin snorted and muttered in a low voice: "Elm bumps!"

There was the last chicken drumstick left on the plate on the table. Gu Qing picked up the drumstick and took a bite before Zhang Huaijin could react.

Although he is already very full, it does not affect his ability to hold on until he is full. In short, food should not be wasted, let alone flow into the fields of outsiders.

Zhang Huaijin accidentally lost all the remaining chicken legs, so he looked at Gu Qing in shock, and then began to reflect on himself.

He is already a Marquis, but he is so graceless. What do I like about him?

Gu Qing was always in a peaceful mood when eating meat. As long as his mouth was chewing, his heartbeat rhythm would be consistent with the chewing rhythm. The food would change from living to dead, and dead to pieces, and then cooked in the pot.

Frying, processing in various ways, and finally entering people's mouths, the whole process is a philosophy of life, which records the profound truth of the origin of all things from birth to death. Therefore, eating should be a sacred thing.

Zhang Huaijin held her chin up and watched Gu Qing eating chicken drumsticks. I wonder if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but she always felt that the way Gu Qing ate was so unique.

Gu Qing ate very slowly, chewing slowly. He chewed a mouthful of food almost a dozen times before swallowing it. There was a brief pause after swallowing, as if he was quietly waiting for the swallowed food to slide down from the esophagus to the stomach, and then swallow it again.

Start taking your second bite slowly.

The whole process cannot be said to be smooth and smooth, but for some reason it gives people a faint sadness, because every bite he takes seems to be the last bite of his life, and he eats it with great treasure.

Zhang Huaijin felt distressed for no reason, and suddenly said: "You have lived in that mountain village in Shuzhou for more than ten years. Are you often hungry?"

Gu Qing was startled, then smiled: "That's right, you are a lady from a wealthy family. You can't imagine how hard the life of a farmer is."

Zhang Huaijin's eyes turned red, and he felt more and more sad for some reason. He said quietly: "If I had known you since childhood, maybe you could have a few more meals. I could go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables for you, or I could make traps and cages.

I will help you catch pheasants and hares, and I will also learn embroidery and basket weaving, which I can exchange for money at the market and buy meat for you..."

A ray of warmth flowed through Gu Qing's heart, as if his heart was wrapped in a warm spring water, and the scarred pores were quietly nourished and healed by this hot spring water.

Facing the sun and turning away from the darkness, love or hate for the world only depends on the thought of turning around or not.

Being with the world and not being reconciled are both hypocritical things, because the world doesn't care about you and not being reconciled at all. But fortunately, Gu Qing chose to turn around in the darkness and face the sun.

Zhang Huaijin was the angel under the sun. She was not the one who pulled him out of the darkness, but she told him the temperature that the sun should have.

The steely straight man who was wrapped in soft fingers bit the tip of his tongue hard. Gu Qing struggled out of her tenderness and secretly warned himself not to be a scumbag. Zhang Huaiyu was still waiting for him to marry her in Shiqiao Village.

So Gu Qing forcefully changed the topic.

"Did you sneak out again today? Aren't you afraid that your second ancestor will scold you?"

Zhang Huaijin sniffed, calmed down, and snorted: "I came out of the house in a big way today. It was the second ancestor who asked me to come to you."

"What do you want from me?"

Zhang Huaijin suddenly became angry and stabbed Gu Qing's chest fiercely: "Speak for yourself, it's been a long time since we told the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Have you forgotten about it? Not only am I waiting to hear it, but so is the second ancestor.

Now, you have to be busy with a lot of things these days to get a title or promotion, so it’s inconvenient for the Second Ancestor to disturb you, so you can finally talk about it today, right?"

The tip of Zhang Huaijin's index finger poked his chest, causing a little pain.

Gu Qing dodged a few times and said: "Don't poke me anymore, female donor, don't poke me anymore, female donor, I'll poke you again..."

Zhang Huaijin quickly retracted her hand and pretended to look at the scenery as if nothing had happened, but her red ears betrayed her deeply.

Gu Qing glanced at her and said disdainfully: "Tsk, you're so effeminate!"

Having finished chewing the chicken legs, Gu Qing threw the leg bones on the table, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his greasy hands with a look of helplessness.

Someone actually urged me to update, and they even chased me to my house. It’s really haha. Did you pay for it? You urged me to update it, and you did it so confidently.

"Three Kingdoms... Actually, there is not much story behind it. I will read Chen Shou's version of "Three Kingdoms" by myself. In short, the Sima family unified the Three Kingdoms in the end, and the world will be united after a long period of division. It is a perfect ending and everything is included. Good!"

After Gu Qing finished speaking, he applauded warmly.

Zhang Huaijin chuckled, pushed him hard, and said angrily: "Don't make trouble, I will tell the second ancestor when I get back to see if he can deal with you, and finish the story quickly. I also want to know."

Gu Qing had no choice but to say: "Where did I say it last time?"

Zhang Huaijin said without hesitation: "Speaking of 'Lü Fengxian shoots a halberd at the gate', the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms, so awesome!"

"Oh, yes, Yuanmen shoots halberds. So, men are aggressive animals. They shoot here and there at every turn. It's very dangerous. Don't provoke me in the future. Well, you won't be able to do anything about it after you get married, whether you want to or not.

To become a living target..."

Zhang Huaijin opened a pair of pure and innocent eyes and looked at him blankly, not understanding the meaning of his words at all.

Gu Qing smacked his lips and started talking obscenely in front of the innocent little girl. He felt so guilty that he had better act more seriously.

So Gu Qing finished telling the story of this chapter in a serious manner, and ended with "Let's listen to the breakdown in the next chapter."

Zhang Huaijin wrote furiously, writing down the stories told by Gu Qing word for word. He shook his arm with unfinished thoughts and begged him to tell another chapter. After such a long hiatus, he had to compensate the readers after all. Telling a few more chapters would be a good idea.

make up.

Gu Qing sneered, is it necessary to make up for the break? As long as the author is thick-skinned enough, any compensation or make-up is just a cloud.

After pleading for a long time to no avail, Zhang Huaijin had to give up.

Carefully putting the recorded story away in his arms, Zhang Huaijin suddenly said: "By the way, I wrote a letter to sister and sent someone to deliver it to Chang'an yesterday."

Gu Qing was stunned: "What did you write?"

"I lied to her that you were seriously ill and asked her to return to Chang'an as soon as possible." Zhang Huaijin did not dare to look at Gu Qing, lowered his head apologetically, and whispered: "People know that they are wrong and shouldn't joke about it, but if you don't use this excuse,

, she will not go back to Chang'an at all, I know she doesn't like Chang'an, you are the only reason why she is willing to return to Chang'an."

Gu Qing was stunned. What kind of operation was this? Why did he feel a faint sense of sadness in his heart, just like Da Lang who was fed medicine by Jin Lian back then...

His stomach was a little full, and he couldn't help but fall down on the futon. Gu Qing said feebly: "The patient needs to drink more hot water, go and bring me some hot water."

Zhang Huaijin looked guilty and obediently got up and brought him hot water.

Gu Qing took a sip, calmed down his emotions, and said: "Let me follow my thoughts... you lied to Zhang Huaiyu that I was seriously ill, so the question is, why did you lie to her to return to Chang'an?"
To be continued...
