After a while, Du's mother arrived at Yan Makeup, and as soon as she entered the Yan Makeup store, she was seen by Ban Dong.

"Xiaozi, go tell Miss Yu, that Mother Du, who came yesterday, is here again today, and she is in the store now." After Bandong gave an order, he stepped forward to receive him.

Xiao Zi hurriedly ran to report to Yan Mingyu.

At this time, Yan Mingyu was in the room, looking at the bronze mirror to observe the scar on his neck.

"Sister Mingyu, your neck is red. It seems that this ointment can't be used either......" Green Leaf looked at worriedly, Sister Mingyu also knew that the scar was not good-looking, so she rarely went out, and developed ointment every day, but it didn't work.

"Green leaves, go and bring warm water." Yan Mingyu said.

"Well, I'll go." Luye hurriedly went out to fetch water, just when Xiaozi trotted over, and when he saw Luye, he said loudly: "Sister Miaoqing, that Mother Du came again yesterday." ”

Green Leaf was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is she here for?" Didn't you go back with shame, why did you come again? ”

"I don't know, Sister Bandong is receiving at the store, let me talk to Miss Yu."

"Okay, I know. You go back first, I'll tell Miss Jade right away. Lu Ye said, quickly went to get a basin of water, and then returned to the room, watching Yan Mingyu use a hand towel to carefully wipe the ointment from the chin to the neck, after cleaning, the white skin was red. Green leaves looked distressed.

Yan Mingyu didn't think so, and asked, "Mother Du is here again?"

Midoriba nodded: "Hmm." ”

"It's good, I'm afraid she won't come." Yan Mingyu smiled.

Green Leaf's focus is on Yan Mingyu's chin and neck, I don't know if it can be good. Yan Mingyu thought about the purpose of Du's mother's visit, and then asked Luye: "Luye, do you guess what Du's mother is doing when she comes to Yanjiao?" ”

Green Leaf stabilized his mind and guessed: "Please Miss Jade to Cheng Mansion?" ”

"More than that." Yan Mingyu looked at Lu Ye and said, "She still wants kickbacks." ”

"Rebates?" Green Leaf was puzzled: "What kind of kickback do you want?" ”

Yan Mingyu said: "You may not know that Mother Du often comes out with the housekeeper to buy rouge gouache candles and the like, so she has the right to choose which one to buy or which one not to buy, it depends on which one gives a big rebate." And these rebates, Du's mother will be in her own pocket. Therefore, Du's mother is actually not poor. ”

Luye suddenly thought of something, and said: "That's the case, I remember that Mother Du has two sons, each with a house in Los Angeles, and she also entrusted the eldest lady to do an errand." ”

Yan Mingyu nodded: "So, Mother Du is also here to ask for kickbacks." ”

"Shall we give it then?"

"Give it naturally, I wish she wanted it." Yan Mingyu said with a smile.

Lu Ye was even more puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Sister Mingyu, why should we give it?" ”

Yan Mingyu looked at Lu Ye: "Lu Ye, it's a good thing to ask 'why' often, but after asking 'why', you should always use your brain to think about it, so that next time you won't wait for others to give you an answer, so that you will know what is happening." ”

Luye smiled embarrassedly: "Sister Mingyu, it's okay for me to do some rough work and run errands, you let me use my brain to think about things, I just have a hundred and ten thousand brain melon seeds, and I am not as good as Sister Mingyu." ”

Yan Mingyu deliberately glanced at her, and then guided her: "Mother Du took the kickback, will she choose to continue to buy Miss Yan in Yan Makeup?" ”

Midoriba nodded: "Yes." ”

"Isn't that going to be more of our income?"

"Yes."

"Does Mother Du have a handle in our hands?"

"Yes."

"Then you are thinking about it yourself and thinking about this relationship." Yan Mingyu looked at the green leaves: "Tell me about it." ”

Luye thought hard for a while and said, "Although Mother Du took a little bit of rebates, we made a lot of money, because she got more rebates, which means that we made a lot of money." And if you are soft and soft, Mother Du will have shortcomings in our hands, and we don't have to be so afraid of her in the future. ”

"It's just one of them." Yan Mingyu said.

Seeing that Yan Mingyu still wanted her to analyze, Lu Ye hurriedly said, "Sister Mingyu, do you want to eat sweet potato balls?" There are a lot of sweet potatoes in the kitchen, all of them have just been picked out of the field, but they are delicious, so I'm going to make them now? ”

Yan Mingyu looked at her, then shook his head with a smile: "Go for it." ”

"Okay." The green leaves are like being pardoned, and they quickly slip away.

Yan Mingyu is very helpless, this girl is good at everything, she cares about people, is diligent, loyal, and clever, just a tendon, who doesn't like to think carefully, and is lazy to use her brain. It's half a winter, and he's a malleable talent.

Say half-winter, half-winter.

"Jade girl, I'm Bandong, I have something to tell you." Bandong whispered outside the door.

"Come in." Yan Mingyu bypassed the screen and walked out.

Bandong was surprised, she didn't expect the jade girl to come out so unabashedly. This was the first time Bandong had seen the jade girl, and she stared blankly.

Yan Mingyu was dressed in moon-white clothes, her long hair was gently curled, leaving only one bun on her chest, her skin was snow-white, her eyes were smart and clear, but it contained a calmness that people couldn't ignore.

Bandong always thought that the jade girl was so capable, she might be twenty-five or thirty years old, maybe she just had a young voice, but it wasn't. But she didn't expect the jade girl to be so young, fourteen or fifteen years old, she looked much younger than herself, and she was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in her life.

Seeing that Bandong had this reaction to his scar, Yan Mingyu was not unusual, and asked gently: "Bandong, what's the matter, you can say it." ”

Bandong came back to his senses and said, "Miss Yu, that Mother Du came again yesterday and brought five hundred taels of silver tickets. ”

"Well, what does she ask for?" Yan Mingyu asked.

Bandong secretly admired the jade girl, and guessed this, so he said honestly: "Between her words, it seems that she wants to ask us for kickbacks. ”

"Give it to her, let her open it." Yan Mingyu said generously.

Bandong was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Yan Mingyu: "Give it to her?" So what do I say? ”

"You just have to make it difficult and get a little bit of a kickback."

Bandong remembered Du's mother's domineering appearance and asked, "Will she agree?" ”

"Yes." Yan Mingyu said firmly.

Bandong hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, but she still wants to see you, and said that she hopes that Miss Yu will go to the mansion and help her master beautify her face several times, and she will definitely thank her a lot of money when the time comes." ”

Yan Mingyu suddenly smiled, this smile was extraordinarily bright: "You don't have to be so troublesome for me to go, you go and tell her, and you can help her master beautify her face." ”

Bandong was shocked on the spot, and hurriedly said: "Miss Yu, I won't, I don't know what Sister Miaoqing taught me, I don't know yet, how dare I help her master beautify her face...... And I've just gotten to know Miss Yan all, I, I, I'm ......."

"I said you could, you could." Yan Mingyu said without allowing her to question.

Bandong looked at Yan Mingyu, and couldn't say it for a while.

"Don't be afraid, tonight I'll teach you what you should do tomorrow. After a while, you go back to her and say that you will go with her to her house early tomorrow morning. By the way, let her pick you up, and you go with her. Yan Mingyu said unhurriedly.

Bandong hesitated for a while, then mustered up the courage to say, "Yes, Jade Girl." ”

Yan Mingyu saw her embarrassed face and asked, "You don't believe me?" ”

Bandong thought about the extraordinaryness of the jade girl in the past month or so, so since the jade girl said that she could do it, she would definitely do it, and regained her confidence, Bandong said: "I believe in you." ”

"Alright, you can go back to her now."

"Yes."

Then Bandong went out of the room, came to the store, and pulled Du's mother to the side of the house.

Seeing this, Mother Du knew that she had proposed, and Miss Yan Makeup had agreed, and she couldn't help but be secretly proud, thinking that Miss Yu didn't want to make money by compromise.

In the next half of the winter, he really pressed the price he raised by one percent, and one percent was one percent, and one percent was higher than the rebate on the beauty side.

Du's mother said, "That's it." Then you can ask Miss Yu to go to the mansion with me now and beautify our wife's face. ”

Bandong said unhurriedly: "You don't need our jade girl to go, I'll go." ”

"You?" Du's mother looked disdainful.

Bandong struggled to hold on to his momentum and said, "Yes, I can." You don't have to go. ”

"You don't want to slap a swollen face and become fat."

"Isn't it fat, don't you know it when you see it?" Bandong said with a smile.

Mother Du looked at Bandong's smile, had doubts, thought about it and said, "That's okay, it depends on your craftsmanship." If not, we won't be able to talk. When the time comes, you jade girls will have to go out and apologize. ”

Bandong smiled: "Don't worry, when you come to pick me up early tomorrow, I will naturally go to the house with you to visit." ”

"Tomorrow?"

"Since I know your wife's situation, I naturally have to make preparations for my wife, the time to go there today is urgent, and tomorrow I will be prepared and get twice the result with half the effort, what do you say?"

Mother Du didn't doubt him, and said, "Okay, I'll come to you early tomorrow morning." ”

"It's a deal." Bandong said, he received five hundred taels of silver tickets, drew up a contract, and after the two sides pressed their handprints, Bandong asked people to take the silver and hand it to Du's mother, as a kickback this time.

After Du's mother took the silver, she was full of smiles, this is one percent more than the rebate of the beauty square, now she can save some for the elderly, otherwise it is not enough to count on that little monthly money.

Mother Du took the silver and happily left Yan Makeup.

As soon as he left Yan Makeup, Lu Ye instigated a guest and said, "Hey, wasn't that the housekeeper mother of Cheng Mansion just now?" This sound caught the attention of the customers in the store.

"What Cheng Fu? Which Cheng Mansion? ”

"Tsk, is there a second Cheng Mansion in Los Angeles? Naturally, it is the Cheng Mansion of the Chengfu Textile Factory. ”

"I heard that this housekeeper's mother is Du's mother, the celebrity in front of Mrs. Cheng."

"Oh, really? I can't see it. ”

"Yo, that's pretty good."

"Then I'm surprised, isn't Miss Cheng Fusi a beauty artist? She is the queen mother's own countryman, why doesn't Miss Cheng Si beautify Mrs. Cheng's face, but let the housekeeper's mother come to Yan makeup? ”

"That's right, is it because Miss Cheng Si and Mrs. Cheng are at odds?"

"I don't know, but there is one point, that is, Miss Yu's craftsmanship has entered the eyes of Miss Cheng Si and Mrs. Cheng Mansion, otherwise how could the steward of Cheng Mansion come to Yan Makeup to invite Miss Yu."

"yes, yes."

"Came with a silver ticket!"

“……”

The discussion was very lively.

At this time, Bandong came in from outside the door, and someone immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Miss Bandong, is that really the housekeeper mother of Cheng Mansion?"

"Half-winter girl, isn't it?"

"What is she here for?"

"Could it be that Miss Cheng Si is not as good as Miss Yu's craftsmanship?"

"Miss Cheng Si is after beautifying the Queen Mother."

“……”

Some of the maids and servants in the boudoir were extremely curious, and they crowded towards Bandong, who took the opportunity to glance at the green leaves in front of her, and the green leaves nodded at her.

Bandong smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, jade girls usually don't go out." Tomorrow I will go to Cheng's Mansion, and if I am lucky, I will meet Miss Cheng Si and learn more from her. ”

Lu Ye was extremely surprised, and said secretly, Bandong is so good at talking, no wonder Sister Mingyu handed over so many important things to Bandong to do.

Bandong's words are indeed very level. not only elevated the identity of the jade girl, but also replied that he did go to Cheng's mansion, and at the same time wanted to learn from Miss Cheng Si with a humble attitude, but in fact, he put the jade girl and Miss Cheng Si at the same height, or higher than Miss Cheng Si. All of a sudden, it aroused the reverie of the guests in Yan Makeup.

"It turns out that the person who will go to Chengfu tomorrow is not a jade girl, but a half-winter girl."

"Ouch, it's true, the jade girl really has a big shelf, and even Cheng Mansion can't move."

"Listen to Miss Bandong, Miss Yu's craftsmanship is no worse than Miss Cheng Si, otherwise, how can you go to Cheng Mansion is Bandong, not Miss Four."

"Makes sense."

“……”

A group of people who don't know each other whispered in the Yan makeup shop to discuss, whether it is Bandong, Green Leaves, or other little girls, they don't stop it, let them reverie and guess in the wild. It's best to pass this matter back to the boudoir, and then spread it ten, ten and hundred, and now what Yan makeup lacks is a source of customers, and what is lacking is a channel for word of mouth.

Green Leaves looked at it with a smile, Sister Mingyu was really getting more and more powerful.

Bandong didn't stay in the store for long, and after a while, he went to Yan Mingyu's small courtyard.

At this time, Yan Mingyu was sitting on a stone bench in the small courtyard reading a book.

"Jade Girl." Bandong stepped forward.

Yan Mingyu asked, "Have you said it all?" ”

"Well, I've said it all." Bandong replied.

"That's good." Yan Mingyu put down the book: "You call the green leaves, and I will teach you how to beautify Mrs. Cheng tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Jade Maiden." After saying that, he ran out of the yard, and after a while, the two came back together.

Yan Mingyu taught Bandong how to beautify her face in the most superficial way, and regarded the green leaves as Mrs. Cheng, first of all, Yan Mingyu pointed to the face of the green leaves, and analyzed Mrs. Cheng's face, where the spots grew, where the wrinkles are more concentrated, and the complexion is dark yellow.

Yan Mingyu said: "The dark yellow complexion is caused by the unclear symptoms and weakness. This needs to make up for her. The spots are due to her internal organs, because she doesn't go out often, so it's not sunburned. Wrinkles are caused by aging and dehydrated skin. ”

Bandong carefully wrote them down one by one.

Yan Mingyu asked Green Leaf to take soap, tissue paper and facial grease from the Baihua Room, and told Bandong in the simplest way: "Wash it with soaphorn first, then veneer the paper, and use the fingertips of the middle, index and thumb of both hands to gently press the face." Such. Yan Mingyu pressed lightly on the green leaf face to demonstrate to Bandong, in fact, the effect of pressing the acupuncture points is better, but if she lets Bandong remember too much at one time, Bandong may not be able to accept it, and Mrs. Cheng has never done a facial massage, so if she can't press the acupuncture points, she can completely fool Mrs. Cheng.

Bandong learned Yan Mingyu's appearance, and after pressing it, he paused for a moment and then took it away.

Then remove the tissue paper and apply grease.

Bandong asked in surprise: "It's that simple?" ”

Midoriha explained: "This is just the most essential and easiest step in the whole beautification process! No matter what you do, you have to have this step! ”

Yan Mingyu smiled: "You understand this, so why don't you learn from your heart?" ”

Luye stroked her hair and said, "Sister Mingyu, I can't compare to you no matter how much I learn, I still prefer to cook for you and serve you for the rest of my life." ”

Bandong smiled, she had always envied the relationship between Miaoqing and Miss Yu, as if they had lived and died together, especially friendly and intimate.

Yan Mingyu smiled and teased: "Don't say that you serve me, I didn't want to treat you as a maid." ”

Midori smiled beautifully.

Yan Mingyu added: "Bandong, if you are okay in normal times, use your knees as your face to practice face washing and massage." ”

"Knee in the face?"

"Yes, when I first learned fingering, I practiced with my knees. It's impossible for someone to be willing to practice with your face all the time, and pressing your face too many times a day won't do you any good for your face. ”

"Okay, Miss Jade, don't worry, I will definitely practice hard."

Yan Mingyu smiled.

Next, Yan Mingyu taught Bandong some rules when he went to Chengfu, and Bandong wrote them down one by one.

Yan Mingyu said in simple terms that she studied hard. Until nightfall, in the middle of the winter, he was still in the room, practicing.

In Yan Mingyu's room, Yan Mingyu was sitting in front of the candlelight reading a book.

Luye brought tea into the room and asked, "Sister Mingyu, why do we want to bring the fourth lady in, why do we want people to compare you with the fourth sister?" ”

"In this way, everyone will find out that I am better than Miss Four, and the burden on Miss Fourth will be lighter, won't it?" Yan Mingyu was still staring at the book and gently turned a page.

Hearing this, Green Leaf was overjoyed and said, "So that's the case." Sister Mingyu, you are so good to Miss Four. ”

Yan Mingyu ignored her and concentrated on reading.

Early the next morning, Du's mother arrived as scheduled, packed up in the middle of the winter, and took Xiaozi with her.

Bandong was a little nervous at first, but when he saw Mrs. Cheng, he didn't feel nervous at all, because Mrs. Cheng's face was said to be right by Miss Yu one by one.

Mrs. Cheng knew that Miss Bandong could beautify herself, so she gave her a little more courtesy.

At the same time, Cheng Hualan was giving shoes to Mrs. Cheng, and Mrs. Cheng praised her twice, but did not let her stay.

Cheng Hualan retired, glanced at Bandong before leaving, and found that the box that Bandong was carrying had swallow makeup written on it, and the rouge box was engraved with the words Miss Yan.

Miss Yan? Cheng Hualan secretly thought, when she saw a box of tissue paper soaked out of silk in the box in Bandong, her heart tightened, she had only seen Mingyu use the craft of making tissue paper with silk.

Yan makeup, Yan girl...... Cheng Hualan couldn't help but think about the six words "Swallow Seven" and "Yan Mingyu", does it mean that the jade is still there? A burst of joy welled up in her heart, and she hurriedly walked out of the eldest lady's place, turned her head to Pingxiang and said, "Pingxiang, find a way to find out what 'Yan Makeup' and 'Yan Girl' mean?" ”

"Yes, Second Miss."

Cheng Hualan turned her head and glanced at the eldest lady.

At the eldest lady's place, Bandong is like Yan Mingyu, extremely calm about things and people, and everything she says and does is according to Yan Mingyu's instructions.

Mrs. Cheng praised her again and again, and Du's mother was also happy, she was very happy that Yan makeup could be liked by Mrs. Cheng, so that she could make more money from it, killing two birds with one stone.

Bandong finished beautifying Mrs. Cheng's face and said: "Mrs. Cheng, our jade girl often says that illness is like a thread, and it takes time to beautify. No matter what the situation is, it takes time to beautify your face, and the results are better. ”

Mrs. Cheng touched her slightly slippery face and said, "Yes, what your jade girl said is true." When my face improves, I will definitely bring a lot of money to Yan Makeup, and thank you jade girl. ”

"The eldest lady is polite. We Jade Girl only hope that with our own ability, every woman who wants to become beautiful can become beautiful. ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled: "You jade girls are really kind-hearted. ”

Bandong replied with a smile: "The eldest lady has won the award, then Bandong will go back first and come back in two days." ”

Mrs. Cheng turned to Mother Du and said, "Mother Du, you go and send Miss Bandong." ”

"Yes, Madame."

So, under the escort of Du's mother, Bandong left Cheng's Mansion and went straight to Yanxiang to report to Miss Yu about the affairs in Cheng's Mansion, but she was busy.

Luye smiled: "Sister Mingyu, if the eldest lady knows that the jade girl she praises one is Sister Mingyu, do you think she will vomit blood in anger?" ”

Yan Mingyu smiled: "Don't worry, don't let her know first, and wait a little longer." ”

"Well, everything is up to Sister Mingyu." Lu Ye said that he was going out, and as soon as he went out, he saw Chu Wei stepping into the courtyard, Lu Ye was startled, and hurriedly said, "Sister Mingyu, Chu Gongzi is here." She still remembered the terrifying appearance when Chu Gongzi threw the two black-clothed men down the mountain.

"Really?" Yan Mingyu stood up: "It just so happened that I had something to ask him." ”

When Chu Wei walked to the stone table, Yan Mingyu also went out.

"General Chu." Yan Mingyu blessed his body.

"No need to be polite." Chu Wei said in a low voice, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Yan Mingyu's neck.

Yan Mingyu was a little unnatural by him, turned sideways slightly, and said: "Two days ago, I heard Miaoqing say that the general is waiting for the Hou Minnu here, I don't know why?" ”

At this time, the green leaves serve the tea and leave.

Chu Wei stretched out his hand and motioned for her to sit, and Yan Mingyu sat down.

"You don't have to be a general, a people's girl, how you talk to Yanziqi, just talk to me." Chu Wei said.

Yan Mingyu held the teapot in his hand, poured water slowly, and said slowly: "The people don't dare." ”

"I forgive you for your innocence."

Yan Mingyu raised his eyes and said, "How many times can the general forgive?" ”

Chu Wei looked straight at Yan Mingyu, then his gaze stopped on her neck and said, "If you want, I am responsible for you." ”

Hearing this, Yan Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a calm smile: "Why did the general say this?" She doesn't feel inferior because of a scar from her chin to her neck.

This made Chu Wei see her differently even more, and an impulse immediately surged in his heart, so that he no longer wanted to suppress it, looked at Yan Mingyu with burning eyes, and said cautiously: "If you are willing, marry me, I don't mind." ”

Yan Mingyu had a meal in his hand, and the teacup he had just held almost slipped off. 166 Reading Network
