Chapter 137: Transfiguration
"There's a problem. As far as I know, you used to be a famous name in Shangjing, and your appearance was the most outstanding among the girls. How do you get to ...... today? Is this the dress? ”
Nan Luo was stunned when he leaned into the house, subconsciously thinking that he had made a mistake, and when he exited, he took a look, it was the signboard of Zhengxingtang, and there was nothing wrong at all.
That is, Aunt Mei's outfit was wrong, and she didn't recognize it for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no others in the shop, she almost thought that Aunt Mei couldn't think of committing suicide again.
Aunt Mei stroked the coarse linen clothes on her body, pulled the long hair on her sideburns to cover the hideous wounds on her face, and said timidly: "Miss Nan misunderstood me, since I left the Fengyue venue, I no longer dress up with fancy things, but strive to dress up like a woman from a good family."
Besides, I don't do that anymore, I still have to take care of this shop, if I dress up too much, I'm afraid that the guests won't even want to step on the door of the shop. ”
Gu Jinrong didn't know much about Fengyue Place, but she had heard of Aunt Mei's reputation as overpowering the group, but now that she saw it, she realized that the rumors were nothing more than that, not as exaggerated as outsiders said.
Beauty is indeed beautiful, but the scar on the face destroys the beauty. I'm also a little older, and I'm not as young as the young girl.
The most disappointing thing is her cowardly and gray eyes, and she can't see any traces of her beauty at all.
She sighed softly, thinking that her little cousin had saved Aunt Mei's life, but she hadn't saved her heart.
"Little cousin, it seems that what Aunt Mei said is also very reasonable." Gu Jinrong looked at the new shop.
Compared with the pharmacy, the decoration of the rouge shop is softer and more exquisite, and the goods are also present, but the business is very deserted.
"But even if you wear rough clothes, can't you attract guests? So you say, what's the problem? Nan Luo stared at Aunt Mei calmly.
Aunt Mei has seen all kinds of people in her life, but she can also be good at dancing with long sleeves and pushing cups and changing lamps, but as soon as she saw a pair of calm and bright eyes from Shang Nanluo, she began to panic, as if no matter how much she concealed her heart, she was pierced by her at a glance.
"I'm stupid and I don't have any experience in running a shop, so I can't see what's wrong with the shop for a while. If Miss Nan can see it, please tell the girl directly. Aunt Mei buried her head deeply, fiddling with the broken hair between her sideburns.
"The problem naturally lies with you, the shopkeeper." Nan Luo leaned forward and Aunt Mei took a step back timidly.
It wasn't until she was forced into a corner that Aunt Mei had no way to retreat, so she raised her head to look at Nan Luo.
She looked at it hurriedly and quickly lowered her head, looking very uneasy.
"If Miss Nan thinks that I am not suitable to be the shopkeeper of the rouge shop, she can fire me."
After saying this, she felt a little happy in her heart.
She already knew that she was not suitable to be a shopkeeper in this shop, so she had told Miss Nan earlier, but Miss Nan didn't believe it.
She knew that there were reasons why the shop business was bad, but she didn't have any eyebrows about how to do it well.
"What do you do to dismiss you? There's no one better suited to be the shopkeeper than you. It's just that you're not doing it right at the moment. ”
Nan Luo leaned out a folding fan to pick up her chin, and looked up and down for a long time.
But Aunt Mei hid vigorously, choked up: "Girl, don't look at it, my face is very ugly." If you watch too much, you'll have nightmares. ”
"You are not confident in yourself, how can others believe that the rouge you sell can make people beautiful?" Nan Luo retracted the folding fan and began to debug the makeup powder.
Aunt Mei's pupils trembled slightly, and she was shocked, "...... girl's words?"
She realized her problem and smiled bitterly, "How easy is it to become confident?" Let's just say that my appearance of a broken flower and a willow, coupled with the scars on my face, makes me feel scared when I see it. I just can't understand, why didn't Miss Nan find a more suitable shopkeeper, why did she have to choose me who was not suitable? ”
Young, beautiful, and flawless are the most suitable candidates to be the shopkeeper of a rouge shop.
She couldn't touch any of them.
"The little cousin naturally has a reason to ask you to be the shopkeeper, and she has never missed her choice after knowing the little cousin for so long." Gu Jinrong looked at Nan Luo's hand, she didn't know what she was debugging, and she watched it with relish.
I don't know why, no matter what it is, as long as it passes through the little cousin's hand, everything becomes interesting.
Aunt Mei covered half of her face with her palm, "Then I don't know why Miss Nan did this." ”
Nan Luo walked up to her with the adjusted makeup powder and the brush for applying makeup, and used the brush to apply makeup to her scars.
"It's just a scar, is it not worthy of living in the sun if you have a scar on your face?" Nan Luo's hands are very skillful, and his makeup skills are even more perfect.
Gu Jinrong stared at Aunt Mei's face without blinking, watching the scar on her face go from hideous to smooth.
If you hadn't looked at it closely, you wouldn't have seen a scar at all.
Aunt Mei looked in the mirror, couldn't put down the face in the mirror, and wondered, "What method did Miss Nan use?" Made my scars disappear completely? ”
"It's just a little bit of makeup. I'll teach you later, and if you know how to do it, you'll be able to draw it yourself. Nan Luo Tian placed the used makeup powder and rouge in another place.
Aunt Mei never dreamed that her appearance could be restored, the light in her eyes gradually ignited, and she went to the back hall to change into an emerald green skirt, and the bun was also her favorite bun, which looked the most amorous.
Nan Luo poured out a satisfied smile, "That's right, it's most suitable for you to be the shopkeeper of the rouge shop." Only when you look like this and sell rouge can you be convinced. ”
Aunt Mei was excited, and her gratitude to Nan Luotian was indescribable.
"Miss Nan not only saved my life, but also my appearance. I will definitely run this shop to repay the girl. ”
At this time, the lively greeting team at the door walked by, and sitting on the tall horse was Aunt Mei's former lover Lin Ping.
He went to the Guozi Prison School and married his daughter, so he could be an official and a half-job in the Guozi Prison.
Although the position is not high, the size is an official.
Seeing Lin Ping's proud appearance, Aunt Mei burst into tears, and she didn't even want to look at it more.
Nan Luo closed the door, isolating the sound of blowing, playing and singing.
"This negative man! He deceived me of the money, saying that it was used to buy our wedding house, and in a blink of an eye, he abandoned me, became the superintendent of the country, and became his son-in-law. I also disfigured him and abandoned thousands of net worth. Aunt Mei was heartbroken, hating Lin Ping for being hypocritical and hating herself for being stupid.
"Everyone makes mistakes, the difference is what to do after making mistakes. Since you have a hate for Lin Ping, you can't let him live too happily. ”
