Youth feelings | "to dye fiber red nails, golden pot night pounding phoenix fairy flowers"

- MY FOREVER LOVER -

This flower, which has a natural dyeing function, will be remembered by the girls who are confused by beauty once they bloom.

Shopping encountered nail salon, a beautiful young lady in the store in order to attract business, very enthusiastic to come forward to the potential customers to carefully introduce the "magic weapon" of dressing up nails, I am like a mistakenly broke into the Grand View Garden of Liu Grandma, somewhat restrained look at the flowers and greenery in front of the eyes and a variety of dazzling everything.

But seeing that beautiful woman introduced various colors of nail art for me, roughly divided into: mixed color, leopard print, solid color, carving, cat's eye, diamond inlay, gradient color nails, cartoons and other very different styles, but I don't know why I am interested, always feel that the artificial carving of white armor is too charming, so very euphemistically refused to do nail art, decisively chose to go straight home.

In the evening, I leaned on a lone lamp to read a book, and accidentally read that the fifty-first attack of "Dream of the Red Chamber" returned home, and Qingwen was responsible for taking care of Baoyu's living. Because she was suffering from wind and cold at night, she invited a doctor to diagnose her, so Qingwen held out her hand from the mantle. The doctor saw that there were two fingernails on this hand, three inches long, and there were still traces of the golden phoenix dyed red, so he hurried back. Reading and reading is very intimate, a "golden phoenix dye" makes me think of the hydrangea flowers that have fallen into the folk to beautify their nails for no reason.

。 SUMMER

There is also a very pragmatic name for the hydrangea: henna. When I was a child, the countryside was not like the current township, which was full of beautiful scenes of red and flowers. For the peasants, the victory is always golden rice paddies, the wind blows wheat waves rustle, even the flowers are the flowers of crops and fruit trees, such as: pear blossoms and peach blossoms, sunflowers and pumpkin flowers, inedible and can only be used for ornamentation of the henna will not be favored, but the mother does not care, she somehow got the seeds of henna sprinkled in front of the house, and when the flowers bloomed in the summer, they surprised everyone for no reason.

According to the "Guangqun Fang Genealogy", women pick safflowers, mash them with alum, first rub their nails with garlic, apply them with flowers, wrap them in leaves, and the next day the red is fresh and cute, and they do not retreat for several months. Since ancient times, "the heart of beauty, everyone has it", so those pink and big red gorgeous henna will be picked by girls who love beauty and mashed to apply nails, "to dye fiber red nails, golden pot night pounding phoenix fairy flowers", this kind of flowers with natural dyeing function will be confused by the beauty of the girls once they are confused by the thoughts of twilight.

I remember that summer I also imitated others, picking some henna and putting them in the basket to use them to dye my nails dan, but my sister ran to complain to her mother, she said that I destroyed and cut off the good flowers, and she cried and asked her mother if the flowers would die? She said that the flowers were lying in her sister's basket at this time, waiting for her mother to come to the rescue! My mother had to step out of the house and stop my flower pinching behavior. But at this time, my sister picked up a henna that looked like a butterfly, and clamored for me to go back to the house to get glue, and she asked me to make sure that these picked hennas were glued back to their original state, so that they could return to their previous vibrant appearance and sway in everyone's field of vision again. I listened to it like a wooden chicken, my sister's whimsical ideas made me feel very surprised, I did not know how to refute, there was a sense of want to argue has forgotten, can only be like a wooden pestle there, confused and do not know why. My mother, while comforting my sister, made eye contact with me, and I hurriedly hid the flowers, and then found a place to quietly bury the flowers when my sister was not ready, and no longer had the luxury of using the henna in the courtyard to paint my own nails beautifully.

EVER

In fact, I still sincerely envy those nail art that are deep red and translucent after being soaked with henna, they are like Yang Weizhen's poem: "The golden plate and the dew pounding fairy leaf, the solution makes the fiber jade have time." A little suspicious parrot beak, very spring peony buds. "If it is a chuchu and moving girl with a pair of slim red fingers, it is really" Looking back at a smile, the six palaces are colorless. "Even if the girl with a mediocre posture has a red armor body, it adds a lot of poetry and elegance." However, the henna flowers that stopped like butterflies in front of me made me prohibitive, and I knew that once I pinched the flowers, I would be blamed by the little girl who did not understand the world, and I was more afraid of becoming the big bad guy in my sister's eyes who was "unforgiving and ruined".

With the change of the times and the acceleration of the urbanization process, there are high-rise buildings everywhere, and the flowers and plants cultivated by every household are becoming more and more expensive, but the henna rarely appears in ordinary people's homes, probably it is not new enough, too bland, and the henna disappears with the subtle feeling of my hand pinching the yellowish fruit shell, popping out the seeds after bursting, especially the flesh spits out seeds as large as sesame seeds and then quickly shrinks like a mimosa The dull intoxication and joy can no longer be found.

oh! The henna I missed, the henna that grew up with me in my childhood, maybe this "old friend of the past" can only reunite with me in a dream, maybe on the next street corner it will meet me unexpectedly.
