Drawing Crescent Eyebrows: Alluring Zinnia with a Smile

Chapter 264

Ye Xu looked aggrieved, "You have wronged me too much, nothing else, how dare Xiao Wang forget his promise to the princess?" As he spoke, he stroked her moth eyebrows with his fingers, "You must know that I promised you this." After promise, I have done a lot of research on the word thrush!"

Qingyou raised her eyebrows, turned around and sat back on the wooden couch, "Oh? I don't believe it, I don't know how Qiye can explain it?"

The corner of his mouth raised, and he said eloquently, "There is a record in "Chu Songs: Big Moves", 'Pink is white and black is black, Shi Fangze is only." This is one of them; Yuanshan, everyone imitated it, so there is a saying of Yuanshan eyebrows; later, there are fairy makeup with green black eyebrows, and in the future, there are too many to enumerate. , all the beauties in the harem follow suit, Xu Ning still has a poem saying, "Once the new makeup is thrown away, the six palaces will compete to draw black smoke eyebrows." There are more than a dozen famous and classic painting methods. , Fuyan eyebrows, fainting eyebrows, drooping bead eyebrows, and three-peak eyebrows, and so on, but there are too many!"

Hearing this, Qingyou nodded, but the next words were still tantalizing, "Well, it seems that Qiye really has a heart, but..."

Ye Xu smiled secretly, leaned over to her side and licked her chin, "It's just my concubine, who has a delicate mind, and Qingdai, Luodai, etc., the concubine doesn't look down on her at all. The stone dai used and the eyebrows drawn are all original creations of the family. If the king hadn't devoted himself to studying hard, he would never have been able to use the "Liu He dai" made by the princess to draw the most beautiful pair of eyebrows. 'Thin eyebrows'." After a pause, he continued: "Academician Su has a saying, 'When I heard that five dendrobiums were given to moth greens, I would not hesitate to ask for the marrow of otters'. Qianjin, I'm afraid it will cost you a few years of life!"

Qingyou couldn't help being a bit surprised, but she never thought that Ye Xu would be so meticulous about these things, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm. , It’s easy to say, but it takes a lot of work to paint. But going forward, there are many fresh and exquisite painting methods, but most of them have been lost. The distant mountain eyebrows and drooping eyebrows left today are always good. , but in my opinion, they are not very refined."

Ye Xu thought of the books he had read in the past, and there were many talks about exquisite makeup in them, so he said: "When I was reading ancient books, I also saw a lot of painting methods. It is said that when the Nanyue Dynasty was overthrown, the world was very chaotic, especially in Qinhuai. It was only in the most chaotic times that there were the most extravagant. The famous flowers in the Qinlou and Chu Pavilions were all skillfully decorated. During the time of Emperor Gaozu In the book "The Beginning" written by Mr. Yixian, a famous Hanlin scholar, it is recorded that when the South Vietnam and the North Xia overlap, the Qinhuai thrush is the most prosperous method, called "Qingcheng Jackdaw eyebrow", which is used It is painted by an unknown type of ink, it is said that it is too beautiful! But I don’t know how it compares to the thin eyebrows.”

"You don't need to compare, I know that I am absolutely inferior to my predecessors." After hearing what he said, Qingyou said without thinking: "I have also read the book "The First", and this special name comes from Empress Li. The first line in "Jade House Spring" is the first sentence of the evening make-up. In this book, the Qinhuai daughter's morning make-up and evening face are written. It's rare to have a man who understands his daughter's thoughts so well, not to mention a man with both civil and martial arts." As he spoke, Qingyou felt regretful for a while, "It's just a pity that the 'Alluring Jackdaw's eyebrow' After the painting was very popular in Qinhuai for a while, it was lost to later generations. Besides, there are many makeup painting methods. It is recorded in it that either there are still painting methods but no materials to find, or on the contrary, hey... ...It's really a pity..."
