Yan Qianqian
She secretly thought to herself: "San Jie really looks beautiful when she smiles; fortunately I'm a woman, otherwise I'd probably really be charmed by her." As she thought, a faint blush rose on Qianqian's face.
Seeing this, Hua Hua beside her hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master, Master is so good to Hua Hua~" Her tone was full of gratitude. Qianqian smiled slightly and said nothing more, just looked at Hua Hua with gentle eyes, as if telling her not to be so polite.
After returning to her own courtyard, Qianqian then said softly to Hua Hua: "This is my courtyard, but I don't often live here normally. I usually live together with San Jie in her courtyard, and only occasionally come back. Moreover, I sometimes go out, but since the maids around me don't know martial arts, going out alone is truly somewhat dangerous."
Therefore, from today on, you shall become my personal maid. You only need to follow Mantou to learn how to comb my hair and prepare daily necessities. If going out, you only need to closely follow me, no need to hide in the dark like other Anqi; you can openly appear before everyone.
Hearing these words, Hua Hua was instantly overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "Understood, Master!" After speaking, Qianqian immediately instructed Mantou to get a set of maid's clothing for Hua Hua. Mantou moved quickly and was very nimble; in a short while, she had already taken out a suitable piece of clothing according to Hua Hua's figure, and respectfully handed it to Hua Hua.
Seeing this, Qianqian smiled and said to Hua Hua: "Change into the clothes first." Hua Hua hurriedly answered: "Yes, Master."
After speaking, Hua Hua then followed Mantou together to the place to change clothes. However, when Hua Hua walked into the room, Mantou did not follow in. Time passed second by second; after a long while, neither of them saw Hua Hua come out of the room.
Seeing this, Qianqian felt doubtful, and instructed Mantou to go knock on the door to ask about the situation. After receiving the order, Mantou nodded, quickly walked toward the door, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door, making a "knock knock knock" sound.
After a while, the door slowly opened, and Hua Hua's figure appeared at the doorway. She was wearing a maid's outfit, completely different from her previous black tight outfit. At this moment, her black hair fell like a waterfall over her shoulders, and her slightly furrowed brows and tightly pressed lips revealed a hint of委屈.
Qianqian looked closely and couldn't help but be stunned. The Hua Hua originally dressed in black tight outfit was charming like a fairy, but the Hua Hua now dressed in a maid's outfit was pure and lovely like a girl next door.
Before Qianqian could speak, Hua Hua took the lead, with a face full of委屈, said to Qianqian: "Master, this subordinate really doesn't know how to comb their kind of hair..." After speaking, she also pointed at Mantou's hair, seemingly indicating her difficulty.
Seeing this, Qianqian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and hurriedly comforted: "I was wondering why you didn't come out for so long; so that's how it is. Mantou, teach her."
Hearing this, Mantou answered "Yes, Miss," then stepped into the room. Qianqian also followed closely into the room together. Hua Hua sat upright before the bronze mirror; the her in the mirror had a beautiful face, fresh and lovely like a lotus rising from water. Mantou stood behind her, holding an exquisite wooden comb, gently combing Hua Hua's long hair smooth.
"First divide the hair into left and right parts, then tie a small braid at the top of the head..." Mantou explained softly while demonstrating how to arrange a simple maid's bun. Hua Hua listened with full attention, afraid of missing any detail.
Mantou's movements were elegant and skilled; her fingers shuttled through Hua Hua's hair strands, and in a short while, a pretty maid's bun appeared in the mirror. Hua Hua excitedly cried out: "I learned it! I learned it!"
However, when Hua Hua tried it herself, she found things were far from that simple. Her fingers seemed not to obey; the hair just combed soon became a mess, and even tied a dead knot that couldn't be combed open no matter what.
Hua Hua looked at Mantou somewhat vexedly, and said helplessly: "What should I do now?" Mantou smiled to comfort her: "Don't be anxious, practice a few more times and it'll be fine." Saying this, Mantou actively took the comb and carefully helped Hua Hua comb her hair smooth.
With Mantou's help, Hua Hua started trying again. Once, twice, three times... each time slightly better than the last, but still not perfect.
Until the fifth time, Hua Hua finally could complete this maid's bun by herself; although still not skilled, she was already happy like a child. Hua Hua looked at Qianqian not far away with great joy, and proudly showed off: "Master, how do you like this hair bun I combed? Isn't it quite pretty?"
Qianqian looked closely and saw Hua Hua's hair bun was crooked and twisted, really not pretty at all. But she really couldn't bear to discourage Hua Hua's enthusiasm, so she forced back her smile and insincerely praised: "Hmm, not bad, quite talented."
Hearing Qianqian's praise, Hua Hua was as if granted a great pardon, and couldn't contain her joy: "Haha, Master, you flatter me! This subordinate will practice more; once I've learned it well, I'll definitely comb a more beautiful one for you!" The more she said, the more excited she became, as if she had already seen the day of her success.
However, just then, Mantou beside her inopportunely poured cold water. Mantou explained: "This is a maid's bun; Miss cannot comb this one, must comb other hair buns. But it's okay; later I'll slowly teach you. The hair buns I know A Ren't many, just over ten kinds, but definitely enough!"
Hua Hua's face instantly fell; she stared wide-eyed and said incredulously: "Ah? Over ten kinds? That's too many! Why don't you just kill me directly? I can't learn so many!"
Seeing this, Qianqian hurriedly smiled to comfort: "Okay okay, don't be too hard on yourself. Actually learning one or two kinds is enough; as long as it's enough for daily use."
Hua Hua helplessly sighed, saying: "Alright, then I'll try my best." After speaking, she faced the bronze mirror again, with a worried and bitter expression, struggling with her hair.
Looking at Hua Hua's miserable appearance, Qianqian and Mantou glanced at each other and secretly laughed in unison.
After Hua Hua had a fierce "struggle" with her hair, she finally tidied it somewhat neatly. Just then, Qianqian beside her spoke: "Hua Hua, you follow Mantou first; let her familiarize you with the environment and work content here. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask her."
