The moment the maidservant, who was waiting for Gu Pianpian outside the room, saw Gu Pianpian, she cried out in amazement.
Heavens, her Miss was so beautiful.
She had only changed her clothes, changed her hairstyle, and put on makeup, but she looked like a completely different person. Even a woman like her couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
If she were a man, she definitely wouldn't be willing to look away.
If her Miss went to see Young Master He in such clothes, he would definitely fall in love with her.
The maidservant's expression made Gu Pianpian even more confident.
However, Gu Pianpian was still a bit hesitant. She didn't know if she had become so beautiful because of the clothes or because of Jiujiu's makeup.
Gu Pianpian turned around and held Jiujiu's hand, saying, "Madam, do you have time to come to the Gu Mansion tomorrow to dress me up?"
With that, Gu Pianpian picked up the maidservant's purse, took out a piece of silver, and stuffed it into Jiujiu's hand.
Jiujiu took the silver from Gu Pianpian and said with a smile, "Of course. But I don't know when Miss will leave tomorrow so that I can go there in advance."
"Before seven in the morning." Gu Pianpian took off the pearl hairpin in her hair and changed her clothes with the help of the maidservant.
But no matter what, she was reluctant to take off the makeup on her face.
There was no woman in the world who didn't like to be beautiful. This makeup made Gu Pianpian look like a fairy from heaven. How could she bear to take it off?
In response to Gu Pianpian's actions, Jiujiu took a warm towel to wipe off the makeup on Gu Pianpian's face. She said with a smile, "This makeup is done after one look. If you look at it too many times, you will still get tired of it. Miss, you should do it tomorrow."
Gu Pianpian thought carefully and found that this was indeed the case. She allowed Jiujiu to wipe off the makeup on her face.
After wiping off the makeup on Gu Pianpian's face, Jiujiu thought for a while and came up with an idea. "After this matter is over, come to my place when you have time. I'll teach you how to match your makeup according to your clothes."
Gu Pianpian had taken a fancy to the makeup Jiujiu had done for her. Hearing that Jiujiu was willing to teach her how to do this makeup, she was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "I'm free. I'll come the day after tomorrow."
Jiujiu smiled and said goodbye to Gu Pianpian.
The next day, Jiujiu went to the Gu Mansion early in the morning. After putting on makeup for Gu Pianpian, she left directly.
On the way back, Jiujiu heard people talking about Imperial Tutor Pang's son-in-law, Xiao Yu.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Scholar Xiao's real name is Xiao Yu.
Two years ago, after Xiao Yu was selected as the top scholar by the Emperor, he fell in love with Imperial Tutor Pang's eldest daughter, Pang Wan, at first sight. Now, their child was already two years old. The two of them were so lovey-dovey that others envied them.
Some married madams even covered their faces with handkerchiefs and told their friends that if they could marry a man like Xiao Yu, they would be willing to shorten their lifespan.
Hearing someone say that they would be willing to shorten their lifespan, Jiujiu instantly sneered.
If Madam Li married Xiao Yu, wouldn't her lifespan be shortened?
Sure enough, most people in the world only looked at the ice on the surface. If they knew Xiao Yu's true colors, they wouldn't be willing to marry Xiao Yu even if they were given a hundred taels of gold.
After all, when marrying another, one had to wear clothes and eat food.
If they married Xiao Yu, they wouldn't even be able to keep their lives, let alone wear clothes and eat food.
As long as they weren't stupid, they would never marry Xiao Yu.
After returning home, Jiujiu continued her previous work.
But the difference was that she hired an embroiderer now, so her workload was greatly reduced and she had more time to spend with her children.
On the same day, Gu Pianpian wore the clothes Jiujiu made for her and matched them with Jiujiu's makeup when she met Young Master He.
Just as Gu Pianpian expected, Young Master He was so smitten at first sight of her that he couldn't take his eyes off her. The two of them had a particularly pleasant day. When they parted, Young Master He even took the initiative to invite her for a second meeting.
Gu Pianpian agreed with a smile.
According to Gu Pianpian's maid, when Young Master He left, he looked back three times with every step he took. It was obvious that he was very reluctant to part with her.
A good beginning was half the battle.
Obviously, Young Master He had a good impression of Gu Pianpian.
After the success of the first meeting, Gu Pianpian came to Jiujiu the next day. She wanted Jiujiu to help her design the clothes and makeup for the second meeting.
Looking at Gu Pianpian's face, Jiujiu chuckled.
It was so good to be young. Whether it was love or shyness, it was so obvious, unlike her.
Jiujiu laughed at herself and began to arrange the clothes and makeup for Gu Pianpian for the second meeting.
After everything was arranged properly, Gu Pianpian gave the deposit and left gracefully.
The second meeting between Gu Pianpian and Young Master He went even more smoothly than the first. Soon, the two of them were engaged. It was said that they would get married at the end of the year.
Young Master He was famous in the circle for being a good man. Gu Pianpian won him over after meeting him twice and became a legend in the circle. Many women asked how Gu Pianpian won him over.
Of course, Gu Pianpian wouldn't tell ordinary people. But if it was her close friend, Gu Pianpian would tell her everything.
But your best friend will also have her best friend. So when you tell your best friend your secret, you have to be prepared that your secret will be known by everyone.
Soon, all the young ladies in the circle in the west of the city knew that Gu Pianpian won Young Master He's favor with Jiujiu's clothes and makeup.
Gu Pianpian was simply an advertisement for sex.
In a short time, many customers came to Jiujiu's shop to order clothes.
In a short time, Jiujiu's business was booming.
At this time, the Fall Quarter Examination came.
The three Fall Quarter Examination lasted for nine days and seven nights.
Since Xiang Bei appeared in Li Shoujie and Li Shu's lives, the three of them had never been separated.
Even when he was resting, Xiang Bei would run over to play with the two children.
It could be said that the Fall Quarter Examination was the longest time the three of them had been apart.
They were used to being together, so they couldn't get used to the loneliness of being apart.
The two children were used to being with Xiang Bei, so they were really not used to being apart for such a long time.
The second day after Xiang Bei left, the two children began to whisper that they missed their older brother.
Jiujiu had no choice but to make the two children fried food that they had always wanted to eat.
Children were forgetful. Once they had food, they soon forgot that they were talking about Xiang Bei.
However, although the food was charming, it only lasted for a while.
The next day, the two children began to talk about Xiang Bei again.
Jiujiu had no choice but to tell them that Xiang Bei was doing something very important now and would come back in a few days.
Although Li Shoujie and Li Shu missed Xiang Bei very much, they knew that it was very important. They could only hold back their longing and obediently wait for Xiang Bei's return.
