Chapter 37: Restoration of Appearance
"Huh?" Harumi thought she was hallucinating.
"I said, I'll buy them all." The maid patiently repeated the words again, "The money in the money bag should be enough, you count it, if it is not enough, I will go back and get it again." ”
When it opened the next day, all the skincare products on the shelves were sold out?
Harumi's whole body was dizzy, and he felt like he was in a dream.
But she reached out and pinched herself fiercely, and the whole person trembled in pain.
She didn't dream.
She hurriedly brought down the skincare products on the shelves, counted the prices, and calculated a little how much it would cost to buy them.
Open the money bag thrown by the maid and return the extra money inside, Chun Shimu watched the maid leave with a big bag of bottles and cans.
After the maid's figure disappeared in front of her eyes, Harumi glanced at the shelves hesitantly.
She didn't want to close her shop so early, but she didn't have anything to sell.
After thinking about it for a while, Chun Shi closed the wooden door and closed his business and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chun Shi went straight to the study: "Miss." ”
Seeing Chunshi, Liu Yanxue paused for a moment: "Chunshi, why did you come over, is there something wrong?" ”
Harumi shook her head and nodded again.
"Miss, just now a maid from the Hou Mansion came and directly bought all the remaining skin care products in the store." Chunshi said, handing the money bag to Liu Yanxue, "This is the money she paid." ”
"The maid of the Hou Mansion?" Liu Yanxue took the money bag with her hand, poured the silver taels inside onto the table, and counted them one by one, "Is there anyone in the Hou Mansion who needs skin care?" ”
Liu Yanxue didn't know much about the situation in Kyoto, but Harumi, as a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, knew a lot of things.
After hearing Liu Yanxue's question, she showed a suddenly realized expression: "The slave knows ......"
"Mrs. Hou is said to have burned her face a few years ago, and she has changed from the first beauty in Kyoto to a disfigured lady who wears a veil all day long." Chun Shi told Liu Yanxue what he remembered, "During the time when he was just burned, Hou Ye also deliberately issued a list, begging famous doctors all over the world, saying that anyone who can cure Mrs. Hou's face will be rewarded. ”
"It's a pity that Mrs. Hou's burns are too serious, and none of the doctors found by Master Hou can restore Mrs. Hou's appearance." Chunshi thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "Miss, you said that the maids of the Hou Mansion bought all the skin care products, is it because Mrs. Hou used skin care products and thought they were very useful?" ”
"The skincare products I make are inherently useful." Liu Yanxue smiled faintly.
At this time, the silver taels on the table had been divided into two parts by her, one part was more and the other part was less.
Overall, the ratio should be nine to one.
"Harumi, come here." Liu Yanxue beckoned and asked Chun Shi to walk to her side.
Chunshi thought that Liu Yanxue was going to give a lecture, so he walked in front of Liu Yanxue in a proper manner, waiting for the young lady to give instructions for the next move.
But it was not Liu Yanxue's words that greeted her, but a small pile of silver taels pushed in front of her.
"It's your reward." Liu Yanxue's voice was very calm, but when she fell into Chunshi's heart lake, it set off a lot of waves.
"Miss, this is ......" Harumi looked at the silver two in the corner of the table in disbelief.
She made a rough estimate that the silver amounted to about fifty taels.
In Kyoto, an ordinary family only needs ten taels of silver to live for a year.
But Liu Yanxue actually gave her fifty taels of silver without hesitation!
"Miss, you have given too much to the slave maid, and the slave maid just bought something for the young lady." Chun Shi took a step back in fear, and didn't dare to collect the money at all, "Obviously, the skin care products made by the young lady have a good effect, so that Mrs. Hou can buy them all, and the slave maid just stood in front and shouted two sentences, and she didn't even say much." ”
Seeing that Chunshi was dodging, Liu Yanxue directly turned cold: "If I ask you to accept it, you will accept it." ”
On weekdays, Liu Yanxue is very gentle to Chunshi, but at this moment, she suddenly cooled down and became stern, which really scared Chunshi.
"At the beginning, we said that we would first ask about the profitability of the surrounding stores, and then decide whether we wanted to give you dividends." Finding that Chunshi was frightened by her, Liu Yanxue slowed down her voice slightly, "Now that you sell in one day the amount that other people's families can't sell in a month, of course I want to reward you." ”
"Take it." After explaining, Liu Yanxue spoke commandingly again.
Chunshi didn't dare to back down any longer, so he stepped forward with some emotion and put the silver two in his arms: "Thank you, Miss." ”
"It just so happens that you sold out of skin care products early today, let's make something else, and then release it tomorrow and sell it slowly." Seeing Chunshi's restrained expression, Liu Yanxue told her plan for today.
Liu Yanxue didn't ask much about Mrs. Hou, and she didn't want to take the initiative to contact Mrs. Hou.
Because she is confident enough, Mrs. Hou will definitely look for her.
And Mrs. Hou, who was mentioned by Chunshi, can be said to be in a mood lately.
After using skin care products for a few days, the scars on her face have visibly faded a lot.
Once when she was walking in the garden in the evening, Hou Ye saw her from a distance, and thought that she was hallucinating, otherwise why would the burns on Madame's face be gone?
When he walked in, he found that although Mrs. Hou still had burns on her face, it was not as unsightly as it used to be.
Hou Ye already likes and respects Mrs. Hou, but now that Mrs. Hou's appearance has recovered, he naturally no longer lingers in other women's rooms in the back house all day long, but often chats with Mrs. Hou, eats tea and talks.
When she was fifteen, Mrs. Hou painted exquisite makeup, changed into gorgeous clothes, got into the carriage proudly, and went straight to the meeting place.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a small servant saw the carriage of the Hou Mansion from a distance, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Mrs. Hou has arrived-"
Hearing that Mrs. Hou had arrived, the ladies chatting in the courtyard all subconsciously lowered their tones.
There was only one lady who didn't deal much with Mrs. Hou, and she still maintained her original volume, and said in a weird manner: "I don't know what kind of veil Mrs. Hou is going to wear today, is it possible to cover her whole face directly like last time?" ”
Mrs. Hou was held by the maid and stepped down from the carriage.
The little maid raised her head and secretly glanced at Mrs. Hou's face, but she was directly stunned.
In front of him, is it Mrs. Hou?
Madame Hou has been disfigured for several years, and few people in Kyoto can still remember what she used to be.
So now when I see her gorgeous eyebrows and eyes at first glance, the little guy thinks she is dreaming.
When Mrs. Hou saw the reaction of the little girl, she secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Although she shows that she doesn't care, women love beauty, who doesn't want to be as beautiful as a fairy, and everyone will be stunned and envious when they see it?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Hou put her arm on the maid beside her: "Let's go." ”
It may be that the spiritual spring water in the skin care products has soaked into her body, making her voice, which was originally slightly rough because of the smoke, become soft.
When Mrs. Hou walked to the door of the hall, she heard a lady inside openly speak ill of her in a strange tone: "I heard my father-in-law say that Mrs. Hou's appearance has recovered a lot, and Master Hou is so happy that he can't close his mouth." ”
"I don't know what Mrs. Hou's face has become, maybe it's really better." She laughed eating.
There was a lady next to her who greeted her, and she also clenched her throat and became bitter: "I don't think Mrs. Hou's appearance has not recovered, mainly because her makeup skills have improved." ”
With her words, the whole hall was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
If it was in the past, Mrs. Hou would definitely bite a bite of silver teeth.
But her face didn't change at all now, she directly pushed open the door and walked in: "What are you talking about, so lively?" ”
"I heard that my sister's skin has recovered, and we are talking about what method my sister used." The lady who took the lead spoke without hesitation, and at the same time raised her head slightly defiantly and looked at Mrs. Hou.
As a result, her expression froze directly.
…… Is this Mrs. Hou?
"Y-You're really recovering?" Although it can be seen that Mrs. Hou's skin still has some burns, the serious scars have disappeared, and it is estimated that in time, she will completely return to the way she was a few years ago.
With words of disbelief, the ladies in the hall raised their heads in unison, and cries of surprise rang out one after another.
"It's just luck." Mrs. Hou tugged at the corners of her mouth lightly, "Don't talk about me, let's start talking about business." ”
But when the ladies have a meeting, what business can they talk about?
Therefore, the ladies all asked Mrs. Hou in unison, wondering what means she had used to repair her skin so quickly.
When Mrs. Hou's appearance was damaged, the group of ladies in the hall did not fall into the ground.
So Mrs. Hou only smiled in the face of their eager eyes and kept silent about skin care products.
A meeting ended tastelessly, and as soon as they returned to the mansion, all the ladies sent maids and maids to inquire about the methods used by Madame Hou.
And it is no secret that Mrs. Hou's personal maid bought skin care products, and it was soon known by the ladies.
"A new store that sells skincare products?" The ladies are not convinced, but a closer look at the analysis shows that this is the most likely answer.
So the skin care store that was deserted ushered in another wave of customers.
Many maids come to buy a can or two of skincare products, return to the mansion, and try them first.
The effect of the trial was very obvious, and the ladies were moved and hurriedly put on the masks.
The skin care products made by Liu Yanxue were extremely effective, and the ladies spread the word from one to the other, and soon, in the aristocratic circle, this small skin care store became famous, and countless rich ladies were curious to send people to buy skin care products, and then became the die-hard loyalist of this store.
Harumi faced the endless crowd of people, looking at the shelves that could be sold out in the morning, his face was full of surprise and confusion.
Compared with Chunshi, Liu Yanxue is more calm.
