Chapter 220: First Entry into the Xiao Mansion

Li Yumei was immersed in her own world and thought that she was going to climb to the nobles. If she can get the favor of Miss Xiao Jia, her son Xiaobao will not be on the rise in the future, and he will definitely be better than Xue Zhi'an.

As long as you say a word from a nobleman, is Xiaobao afraid that he won't find a good gentleman to teach knowledge?

She carried her makeup case early in the morning, borrowed the family's carriage, and rushed to Xiao's mansion.

The Xiao family is a well-known family in the town, and you can know where it is with a little inquiry. In addition, the Xiao Mansion held a banquet today, inviting many young talents, talented and beautiful people to the banquet, it is said that it is to choose a husband for the Miss Xiao family, and even the street sellers have increased a lot in the past two days.

Li Yumei got out of the carriage, carried the makeup box on her back, carefully stepped on the bluestone steps, looked at the stone lion at the gate, and deliberately rubbed the soft mud on the grass on the soles of her feet, for fear of soiling the steps at the door.

She walked up to the porter and asked with a shy smile, "This little brother, I was invited by Mrs. Xiao to put on makeup for Miss Xiao, and I am a person from the Furong Rouge Shop. I'm sorry to let you know."

Li Yumei had never whispered so lowly to others, and even her voice was unconsciously lowered a few degrees, and she was bent over.

The porter glanced at her, and saw that she was not a person with status at a glance, and her attitude was not warm, "You wait here, I'll report it."

After a few moments, the porter came back and said, "Follow me to the corner door."

Only then did Li Yumei know that there was more than one door in a big family, and there were actually a few doors, but she didn't dare to ask, so she lowered her head and followed the doorman into the corner door.

Passing through a path, the garden was filled with flowers she couldn't name, as well as some emerald bamboo.

After passing through the arch of the hanging flowers, we arrived at the inner courtyard.

The porter could not enter and leave the inner courtyard at will, and after arriving at the inner courtyard, it was passed through the communication, and soon a maid came to lead the way.

It was the maid Xiaoqin in Mrs. Xiao's courtyard who came, "You are the person that Madame invited to come and try on the makeup of the young lady?"

Li Yumei hurriedly replied, "Yes, it's really small."

Xiaoqin only thought it was funny, and said to her, a little girl, and at a glance, she knew that she had never seen the world, "Okay, come with me, don't miss the hour."

Li Yumei didn't know what she said wrong, which made the girl laugh and be generous, she blushed and didn't dare to look around like an ostrich.

Mrs. Xiao took out the wide-sleeved skirt in the neon dress shop early in the morning, and the pattern on the skirt was embroidered with gold and silver threads, and more than a dozen embroiderers rushed to make it for a month.

"Ma'am, the dress in this neon dress shop is so beautiful." The maids on the side looked straight in their eyes.

A few big girls have also seen the world, but this wide-sleeved skirt is different, the style is not only novel, the workmanship is first-class, and the most important thing is that this skirt is the only one, which is a style that has never been seen before.

Mrs. Xiao looked at this dazzling dress, and also felt that her eyes lit up, "This workmanship is really good, but it is still a little worse than the embroidery girl who blooms and is rich and the phoenix wears peonies, after all, the master's craftsmanship is still stronger."

They didn't know how the embroidery was, but they knew that this skirt must be as beautiful as a flower fairy when worn on the body.

"Mother, is the person who tried on my makeup here?" Xiao Qingqing just got up and finished washing, she wiped the water droplets on her hands with a silk handkerchief, a little unhappy.

"Mrs. Yu, the people from the Furong Rouge Shop are here."

"Let her in."

Li Yumei stepped into the courtyard and saw several beautiful little girls surrounding a woman with a graceful and luxurious temperament, the woman was wearing pearls and emeralds, her skin was shiny and elastic, and she knew that her hands were rich and noble people who did not touch the spring water.

"The little one has seen Madame." Her fingers gripped the handle of the vanity case tightly, and her palms were already sweating.

"I heard that your craftsmanship is good, so I invited you over, if you can help my daughter put on a satisfactory makeup today, your benefits are indispensable!"

Li Yumei: "Yes, ma'am

。」

"Bring people in, hurry."

After the maid took Li Yumei to Xiao Qingqing's boudoir, she retreated.

Xiao Qingqing was already impatient, "Why is it so slow? Hurry up. I'm going to say that if you can't paint makeup that satisfies me, I'm going to ruin the reputation of your shop and let everyone know that you're just showing you nothing."

This arrogant face and commanding look are not the little girl's family who was going to forcibly buy rouge gouache that day?

It's actually Miss Xiao's family!

Li Yumei couldn't wait to slap herself twice to confirm whether she was dreaming.

"Why don't you speak, are you deaf or dumb?"

"Miss, please rest assured, my craftsmanship is naturally the best, and the name of the makeup I want to paint for you today is called Roselle Makeup. Guarantee that Miss will be the most beautiful person at the banquet, you can rest assured."

Seeing her so confident, Xiao Qingqing seemed to have some real kung fu, "Let's start!"

Seeing that she didn't mention the stubble of the day, Li Yumei tacitly didn't open this mouth, if the eldest lady forgot it, it would be the best.

Li Yumei opened the makeup box, picked out the water milk and flower lotion, and applied it evenly to her face first, "Miss, this is the water milk, it is a new product that has not been made and sold in our shop, and I will use the best things for you."

Xiao Qingqing was not very happy after hearing this: "You are using a semi-finished product for me that has not yet been made? How dare you use me as a guinea pig?"

Li Yumei's hand shook and hurriedly denied, "No, miss. It's a lot of work to make, it's not a day or two to make, it's just a can, and it's not easy to make it."

She doesn't know how the water emulsion is made, and she doesn't know what is in it, but Shu'er has never done things that she is not sure of, and since she thinks it is good, it is really good.

After hearing this, Xiao Qingqing finally felt better, "In that case, you can bring a few more cans to me in the future." I use the things in your rouge shop, it's to give you face, you know, I think I use rouge gouache from the capital, and I don't look down on the things in your rouge shops on weekdays."

Her uncle often brought her some rouge gouache in the capital, and if she hadn't delivered it this time, she wouldn't have gone to the street to buy rouge gouache.

Li Yumei didn't dare to disobey, "Thank you, Miss, for your love."

"Now that you know my identity, you know that you are respectful in front of me, and when you went to your shop to buy rouge gouache that day, you didn't have such an attitude." She scoffed.
