Yan Xiaoyue Zhengse admonished: "In the future, if someone asks about this matter, they will directly refuse." Our shop is full of helpless little girls, and it is too risky to go to the backyard of the mansion to put the girls in danger for the sake of those few coins. If there is such a strong person, just bring up my name, and now there should be no mansion in the imperial city that dares to blatantly offend the county lord of Chaoyang, right? ”

Fen Niang smiled: "If you have a master, who dares to force us." Originally, the slaves and maids were also worried that the sisters would suffer if they went out, so they never dared to agree, but those ladies asked their masters when they were pressed, and now it is easy to do. However, some of the ladies came to ask if the sisters in the store could put on their makeup when the young lady in their house got married, just put on the makeup, and they could come back in an hour. ”

"This is feasible, it will not be too long to help go to the makeup on the day of the wedding, plus there are many people that day, there should be no chaos, but this matter still needs to make a charter, if you want to come to the store to invite someone to make a post and then give a commission, you have to send a sedan chair to pick up and drop off, and send it back no more than noon, these must be stipulated in advance. But in this way, I have to teach the girls the rules in the mansion, and I don't have to go to other houses to make jokes. ”

"After the post, I also sent a sedan chair to pick me up, it seems that the slaves and maids are expensive, and I really have to learn some rules."

"Well, there will usually be a red envelope when you go to put makeup on the newcomer, and this belongs to the girls themselves, and the store only needs to charge a commission."

"And how much is the commission?"

"Let's set a sixty-six taels, and we'll make all the rouge gouache."

Fen Niang was surprised: "So many? ”

"It's not much, it's extremely luxurious to marry a high-ranking woman, and besides, this is a new way of wealth, which is equivalent to grabbing business with a matchmaker. If the price is set low, they all come to invite people from the beauty shop to put on makeup, then the matchmakers are afraid that they will not follow, and it will not be easy to talk about cool words when the time comes. The price is set higher, the conditions are harsh, and ordinary people can't afford it, and those matchmakers won't have much opinion. ”

"Or the master is thoughtful."

"Just one thing to note, the girls' craft needs to be practiced. The bride's makeup is no better than everyday. To be more festive and extravagant, you have to wear full makeup. ”

"The slave knows it, and she will explain it to her sister and practice it well. Those with bad craftsmanship are not allowed to work. ”

After the question that Fen Niang wanted to ask was solved, Yan Xiaoyue began to concentrate on enjoying it, this set of techniques was formulated by combining her experience in her previous life with traditional Chinese medicine acupressure, which can not only promote blood circulation and detoxify and nourish the skin. Even the acupressure massage is very comfortable.

After nearly an hour's rest, the full set of services is finally over. After drinking a large bowl of warm water, Yang Xiao'er said: "Sister is really stingy, this is the first time to bring me such a comfortable thing." ”

"You little conscienceless, haven't you noticed that the second and third floors rarely receive little ladies?"

Yang Xiao'er thought for a moment. It seems that this is the case, and when the store first opened, the free beauty salon was only for some ladies, "My sister mentioned that there seems to be such a thing." But why is that? ”

Yan Xiaoyue smiled, "You want to." The little girls in the mansions are as young as Xue Niang Ji Niang, and it is the time to grow their bodies, and their skin is in excellent condition, so there is no need to do this at all. And the general ladies have a lot of rules and heavy studies, and they don't have time to stay in the store for more than an hour, and a little lady who has not been out of the cabinet often runs out is also detrimental to the reputation of the girl. ”

"Am I going to come back more often in the future?"

Seeing Xiaoxiao touching her face worriedly, Yan Xiaoyue smiled: "If you have that time, it's okay to come three or four times a month, and you can relax your mind by enjoying a massage here." ”

In fact, there is no need to come with Xiaoxiao's leather support state, but thinking of the bad things in Jiang Siqi's backyard, Yan Xiaoyue agrees that Yang Xiao'er often comes, and it is better to shift the focus of life to herself than to stare at the backyard all day and night, and be jealous of a man.

After Jiang Siji got dressed, she looked at Yan Xiaoyue with admiration, "Sister-in-law, how did you come up with these good methods?" It's amazing for you. ”

Yan Xiaoyue's eyes rolled, "What's the matter, when I was on an island in the South Seas, I saw a local girl mashing a kind of seaweed and smearing it all over her body with sea mud, and she would apply it every few days, saying that it would make the skin whiter." And on that island, the more white-skinned girls come to the door to say goodbye, so in order for their daughters to marry a good place, parents will prepare algae mud for their daughters. ”

After hearing this, Jiang Sixue quipped: "Isn't that sister-in-law being chased by the matchmaker there?" ”

"That's not going to happen, in Nanyang, the atmosphere is very open, there is no big defense between men and women, girls can go to the street at any time, and when they meet a man they like, they will give her the sachet they carry, and if the man accepts it, he will ask the matchmaker to take the sachet to the girl's house to propose. And when a man meets a girl he likes, he will also give the woman the money he carries with him, and the woman agrees after taking it. ”

"Ah, then, aren't their parents unable to be the masters?"

"Not really. What I just said is just a custom, in fact, most of them are still in charge of parents, but compared to us here, they are more selective, they can see each other in advance, if they are satisfied, they will give the sachet away, and then the parents of both sides can start to discuss marriage. When Jin Qiao first arrived there, he didn't know about this custom, so he took a girl's sachet and almost made a big accident. ”

Si Xueqi said: "Girl's sachet? You're not going to be a woman pretending to be a man, are you? ”

Yan Xiaoyue gave Jiang Sixue an appreciative look, "Sixue is really smart, you can guess it in such a sentence." ”

"Sister-in-law, I really envy you for going so far away."

"Yes, I often say that I am lucky, so I always remind myself to be content. I have been to many places, and I have seen all kinds of people and things, and I have seen their diverse lifestyles, which has opened my eyes. Did you know? The farther south you go, the hotter the weather becomes, and the more daring you are, with a lot of sleeveless tops and knee-length skirts, which are cooler. ”

Jiang Siji's eyes widened, with a stupid look of disbelief, Yan Xiaoyue was very happy, this little girl was so funny, and her expression was really rich, unlike Jiang Sixue, who only raised her eyebrows when she heard such words, it was too boring.

"I still have a few sets of dresses brought back from Nanyang, so I'll give one to each of you when I return home."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Xiao'er immediately said: "Don't, sister, I already have a set, you should give it to the two sisters." (To be continued.) )
