Jiangning is located in the south, the climate is humid and warm, but in winter it is dry and cold.

The biggest concern of people here in summer is that sweating will make up their carefully painted makeup, and in winter, they are most worried about the makeup not fitting on their faces.

Although most of the things in the Dye Tide Pavilion are very different and can perfectly neutralize the disadvantages of sweating and dryness, none of the products can do one of them to the extreme.

Lu Yunxi followed He Meier's method to improve the foundation and increase the foundation's ability to control oil. Because there are fewer blemishes on Jiangning's woman's face, most of them are smooth creamy skin, and if the weather here is hot, it is impossible to apply such a heavy layer of foundation, so Lu Yunxi deliberately made the foundation more moisturized.

As a result, there is a big difference between the new liquid foundation and the old version of the liquid foundation in Nangong Long's store.

After Lu Yunxi improved all the products according to this idea, he found that there was a more difficult thing in front of him.

He Meier said that those aristocratic ladies in Jiangning prefer things that are different from others.

This is the opposite of Beijing.

The texture of this product, even if it is changed, it is difficult to make it different from house to house.

So how do you capture the hearts of those noble ladies?

Lu Yunxi couldn't understand for a while, and the improvement of products once again reached a bottleneck.

On this day, Si Tingyan and Lu Yunxi went to the street to hang out.

The business of the Dyeing Pavilions is still miserable and deserted, and there are even fewer people who intervene.

is about to come to the day stipulated by the system, Lu Yunxi is more or less bored and anxious in his heart, so he is also weak when he goes shopping.

Si Tingyan saw that she had been so depressed these days, and his heart was anxious.

The two went up West Street, but saw that there were people not far in front of them.

Si Tingyan knew that Lu Yunxi loved to be lively, so he escorted her all the way into the crowd.

But I saw an old man sitting in the crowd who was pinching candy.

Opposite the old man sat a veiled woman.

The woman lowered her head, turning her cheeks from time to time so that the old man could see her face clearly.

The old man pinched the candy man and handed it to the woman, and immediately a girl dressed as a maidservant handed over the portrait in her hand.

This is unusual.

Although there are also craftsmen in the capital who pinch candy and cut paper, it is rare to see people or portraits pinched directly.

Lu Yunxi became curious, and pulled the woman to the side to look at the lively woman, "This eldest sister, what are you doing?"

"Are you from out of town?"

The woman glanced at Lu Yunxi, and then said, "In two days, it will be our Jiangning Lantern Festival, and the ladies of all provinces will go to the streets to have fun on that day." Every young lady should have a lantern. They first pinched the same candy man as themselves here, and then went to the paper lamp shop and asked the owner to make a lantern in the shape of the sugar man. Finally, when you go out on the street, you put the candy man on the lantern. In this way, everyone is different. Moreover, after the lanterns are released, you can still see which lady it is. If there is a son who takes a fancy to it, he will take the sugar man to that house to propose marriage. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she continued to turn her head, looked at the sugar man, and whispered to the people around her.

Lu Yunxi only felt that his heart suddenly opened up!

Sugar Man, a one-of-a-kind lantern, looks exactly like the ladies.

Lu Yunxi thought about it, and even couldn't help laughing.

She pushed aside the crowd, and didn't bother to greet Si Tingyan, so she eagerly went out.

Si Tingyan quickly followed, "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?"

After Lu Yunxi squeezed through the crowd, she realized that she didn't know the appearance of those aristocratic ladies in Jiangning at all, and she couldn't ask for portraits from the boss of the sugar man and the owner of the paper lamp shop, let alone set up a stall on the street to invite the ladies to come and admire, and for a while, she once again walked into a dead end.

Lu Yunxi simply told Si Tingyan what the woman had said and what he was thinking about.

"What's so hard about that?"

Si Tingyan smiled slightly, "Tomorrow I will give you a copy of the portraits of these young ladies, you just have to do what you want." ”

"Do you have a way?"

Si Tingyan didn't answer, only revealing a mysterious look.

The next day, early in the morning, Si Tingyan returned from outside the inn.

He did come back with a bag of portraits.

Si Tingyan placed those portraits in front of Lu Yunxi, raised his chin, and looked a little proud, "Look at it, but what do you want?"

After Lu Yunxi looked through them one by one, she showed a look of surprise, "Where did you find these things?"

"The imperial court drafts every four years, and the royal ladies from all over the country have to be sent to the palace. In this place, there is a round of screening first, so every year I will tell the women in each prefecture to hand in the new portraits of the year. I went to see Lord He today, and it was not difficult for Lord He to see it, so he gave me these portraits. It's just that these portraits are from last year, and this year there may be new women in each mansion. Those ......"

Speaking of this, Si Tingyan lowered his head, a little embarrassed.

"That's enough. ”

Lu Yunxi was overjoyed.

It's just that they have to rely on these things to open the reputation of the Dyeing Tide Pavilion, and the other women who are not in these portraits, if they see that her family's business is so good, they will also find it themselves, but she doesn't have to look for it.

Lu Yunxi was happy, hugged Si Tingyan's neck and left a kiss on his face.

Si Tingyan froze in place.

Although the two are already husband and wife, every time Lu Yunxi gets close to him, Si Tingyan's heart is fluttering.

Lu Yunxi didn't realize anything.

She rolled up the portraits and told Hongya to go to the city to find a number of paper carvers, and make seven or eight of them according to each of them.

At dusk, Red Aya returned to the inn with a large bag of things.

Lu Yunxi took out the gift bags that had been prepared a long time ago, and put a paper sculpture in each gift bag.

The box of each gift bag is wrapped in red paper, and if you look closely, the red paper is exactly what the women look like in the portrait.

Lu Yunxi wrapped twenty gift bags before stopping.

She looked at the stacked bags in the room and smiled, "We'll send these things to various mansions tomorrow." ”

"But Miss, there must be more than forty young ladies in Jiangning City who can be named. Each family has an average of two young ladies, and your twenty gift bags are only enough to give ten at most, so don't you give them to others?

"Naturally, I want to send it. However, we will have to wait for them to come to the door before delivering it. ”

Lu Yunxi said, putting away those gift bags one by one.
