The beauty of the lady

Chapter 176 Poisonous Tongue (3)
"Get out!" Zhao Ruolan still said the same thing.

"Zhao Ruolan, do you feel that your face is ashamed to see others? In fact, you really worry too much. When will your face and your heart be able to put themselves in the right place? What an unacceptable thing."

"Get out of here." The voice muffled under the quilt was clearly irritated.

"You look down on yourself now, so why do you want others to look up to you?" Zhou Mei's tone was still so calm, without any ups and downs because of her words, "Or, are you not going to marry? You should know what happens to a woman if she doesn’t marry, and when she gets old, she will be sent to a nunnery to live in a family temple for the rest of her life.”

"Shut up!" The quilt was finally lifted, and Zhao Ruolan faced Zhou Mei with her whole face, with deep bitterness and resentment in her eyes, "I am already like this, don't talk too much in front of me." Go to the nunnery, go to the family temple? Who do you think you are? You just borrowed from our shabby household, and you really think you are great?"

Zhou Mei looked at the slightly dotted face, it wasn't particularly serious, it could be completely covered with powder, but it was just pockmarks, she was much better than Zhao Chengfei.

"Excuse me? Don't get me wrong, our Zhou mansion is much better than Chengbeihou's mansion." Zhou Mei chuckled and said, "Besides, you think I don't know that you have opinions on me? Do you really think I'm willing to take care of you?" You? Or do you think I don't know what you like about my cousin? "

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense." The secret in her heart was revealed mercilessly, and Zhao Ruolan almost lost her mind.

"You should be very clear that my cousin will never marry you no matter what." She continued talking to herself, "Don't say that he is a generation younger than you, even if you don't care about it, don't forget, My cousin is engaged now, and the marriage is scheduled for next month. The future Mrs. An Guogong's son is Princess Linghui, the eldest daughter of King An. .”

"You came here just to ridicule me?" Zhao Ruolan couldn't suppress the anger in his chest.

"Of course not. I'm here to tell you about your marriage. Or are you really going to never marry and give up your right to be a mother?"

"..."

She didn't speak, and Zhou Mei didn't urge her.

"What do you mean by that?" After a long time, Zhao Ruolan narrowed her eyes and looked at her intently.

"My aunt is also worrying about your marriage. She doesn't want to intervene, but grandma's current situation can't handle it for you. I think you know in your heart that it is impossible to find a good family with your current appearance. One thing, the most important thing is that today's Chengbei Hou Mansion has almost withdrawn from the stage of the imperial court, so what Auntie means is to find you someone whose family background is not as good as that of the Hou Mansion, but who has a good character. With the power of the Hou Mansion, coupled with your careful management, it will not be bad after marriage..."

"Why?" Zhao Ruolan interrupted her, raised her chin and said arrogantly: "Why do I want to find someone who is not as good as the Marquis's mansion, marrying a daughter from a high family, marrying a woman from a low family, I, Zhao Ruolan, am also a direct descendant of the Chengbei Marquis's mansion." Miss, why did you marry into that kind of family?"

"Because you have no virtue!" Zhou Mei said very bluntly.

Zhao Ruolan was shocked by Zhou Mei's words.

"What did you say?" She looked at Zhou Mei with disbelief, she couldn't believe that this shabby daughter dared to talk to herself like this.

"You are domineering and domineering, with a vicious heart, and your family background is not considered a top honor in the capital, but you face people who are inferior to you, and you look down on people, and you disobey your own mother. , Am I wrong? A person with your temperament cannot be a wife in a noble family. Under your teaching, your children may be arrogant and arrogant in the future, and they will do all kinds of evil..."

"You are enough, what do you think you are, don't forget who you are standing on."

Zhou Mei smiled slightly, her bright eyes met Zhao Ruolan's cloudy eyes straight, "Are you finally refreshed?"

Zhao Ruolan was a little stunned by her words, and instinctively thought that she had some purpose.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to say you're going out for a walk."

"You're crazy, how can I go out with this face?" I knew it would happen, I might as well be dead.

"I can't never go out forever, can I?" She changed into a comfortable sitting position again, looking lazy, "If you really treat you as a friend, you won't care what you look like. Isn't this the right time? I can see you What kind of temperament are those so-called friends?"

Hearing these words, Zhao Ruolan was obviously silent.

She had to admit that she was really afraid of going out, not to mention facing her former friends outside, even the servants in the mansion felt that she couldn't bear it.

But it is also necessary to admit that what she said is indeed reasonable, it is impossible for her to stay out of the house for the rest of her life.

"How did you know that I like him." She thought she was covering it up very well.

"A person's body can be deceiving, and the mouth can be deceiving, but only the eyes will always reveal what she thinks inadvertently." What's more, she doesn't know how to hide it at all. Every time she sees Xuan Shaoling's There is always something naked in the eyes.

"What about mother?" What she was afraid of was that her mother would find out, and if that happened, she would really be doomed.

Seeing Zhou Mei nod her head, Zhao Ruolan's face immediately turned pale.

"What do you think a woman is asking for?" Zhou Mei stood up, stepped forward to pull Zhao Ruolan up, found that she was not struggling, followed her barefoot to the ground, and then walked to the vanity mirror next to her.

Seeing herself in the mirror, Zhao Ruolan habitually stood up and dodged, but Zhou Mei forcibly pressed her down on the carved wooden stool, "Why are you hiding? Don't you even like yourself? It's too much to hope for." Who can like you?"

"It's too ugly!" Zhao Ruolan gritted her teeth and said.

"Ugly is yourself. If you dislike ugly, you might as well hang yourself with a piece of white silk. Or if you know you will be like this now, I will directly seal your yard and send you to see me That short-lived grandmother." While talking, she fiddled with the rouge and powder on the table in front of the vanity mirror, took the cream, and applied it evenly and gently on her face, after it was absorbed, she put on a light layer of powder, Then I swept a layer of pink rouge, and finally used Dai Luo to draw a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows for her, and then drew a sand between the eyebrows decorated with flowers that look like flowers but not flowers, "How do you feel now?"

Seeing herself in the mirror gradually changing, completely different from the haggard and weak image just now, this made Zhao Ruolan's eyes widen, as if she couldn't believe it, she was obviously the same, but the gap between the front and back was really like the two Like a normal person, the scars on her face have disappeared. Maybe she has put on a thick powder, but she can't feel the thickness of the face caused by the powder, and because of the cinnabar between the eyebrows, her whole body looks pale. Extraordinarily delicate and beautiful.
