I become a sage by eating books

Chapter 54 Du Xueyuan

Ning An and the surrounding people knelt down one after another, shouting loudly, "The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

The eunuch who delivered the decree read aloud: "The queen's decree is passed on. The strange things produced by the Ning family have been tested by the inner court and have been very effective. They are recruited for the imperial use! Today is the grand opening of the Ning's commercial company, and the emperor bestows a plaque! This is it!"

"Thank you, empress, empress, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Ning An accepted the order in a daze, wondering what the queen meant by this, that she was recruited as a royal servant?To give or to buy?The empress didn't make it clear either, she didn't want to take it for nothing, did she?

Just when Ning An was thinking wildly, the eunuch passing the decree came over and said: "Lord Ning, please hurry up! Last time you sent something, the Holy One and the empress liked it very much after using it. Thanks to your perfume, the empress finally You can sleep well."

Ning An quickly said: "Thank you, father-in-law! These things can be regarded as being in the eyes of the holy majesty and the empress, and they can be regarded as making the best use of them. Father-in-law has been working hard all the way, so please rest inside. Our Ning family has developed some new gadgets, and please let father-in-law Present it to Your Majesty and Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty and Your Majesty will not dislike it."

"It's easy to say, easy to say. Sir Ning please." The eunuch agreed with a smile.

"Eunuch, please!"

Ning An smiled and welcomed her father-in-law in.Soon, the opening of Ning's Commercial House attracted gifts from the five major families. The news that the Empress Empress personally gave the plaque spread like wildfire, and the entire Pingyao noble circle was shocked.

After a stick of incense, the entire aristocratic circle in Pingyao mobilized one after another, whether they were acquaintances, strangers, or those who wanted to make friends, they all sent Ning's Commercial House opening gifts.The onlookers rushed forward after seeing such a grand scene, and the Ning's business was extremely lively.

After this incident, Ning's business became a hit in Pingyao, and became the object of discussion among the common people after dinner.Toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, soap, shampoo, shower gel, make-up, facial mask, skin care set, Huarong Road, Trojan horse, baby stroller, etc. are all the objects of discussion.

In Duan's cloth shop, several girls are choosing cloth together.

A woman in pink said: "Have you heard that there is a shop called Ning's Trading Company in Zhuzheng Street, and the business is very good!"

A woman in yellow chuckled and said: "You just know, I was there on the opening day, and the scene was extremely lively. The things in it are used by the emperor and queen, can it be bad?" ?”

The woman in pink didn't believe it, and asked: "Really? Really? Why would the emperor and empress use things from our backcountry?"

The woman in yellow snorted softly: "Why are you lying to me? I just bought their shampoo. Do you think my hair is much softer? It smells so good!"

When the woman in pink heard it, she immediately became interested: "Really, really? Let me see."

The woman in pink touched the hair of the woman in yellow and exclaimed, "Wow, it's really soft, smooth and fragrant. I want it, I want it too."

The woman in yellow looked proud: "Come on, let's go and have a look together. Let me tell you, there are many things I want to buy. I heard from the salesperson there that they have something called a facial mask, which can whiten and remove freckles." What! It's a pity that I didn't bring enough money last time."

Hearing what the woman in yellow said, the woman in pink became even more excited! "Really? Let's go then."

The two women left the cloth shop in such a hurry that they even forgot to pick up the selected fabrics. If it wasn't for the shopkeeper's reminder, the two women might have forgotten what they were here for!

After the women in pink and yellow walked away, a girl with a white veil on her head and a blue skirt came out from the back room, accompanied by a maid in green.

The servant girl said: "Miss, that girl said just now that Ning's firm has a facial mask for removing freckles, should we go and have a look?"

The lady paused, and said disappointedly: "Let's forget it, I'm not very good like this."

Hearing what my young lady said, a trace of distress flashed in the maidservant's eyes. "Miss, let's go and have a look. The girl can say that even the empress likes their things? Let's go, let's go and have a look, what if it is really useful?"

Hearing what the servant girl said, the young lady hesitated a little. Seeing that the servant girl insisted, she could only say: "Okay then, let's go and have a look. But we agreed, just take a look, you can't talk nonsense, you understand?"

"Miss, don't worry, the servant promises not to talk nonsense."

The two master and servant walked all the way to Ning's Commercial House, and saw that there were many pedestrians in front of the commercial house, and the woman in blue hesitated a bit.

"Miss, everyone is here, let's go in and have a look!"

"Ah."

The woman in blue helped her veiled hat, and walked into Ning's Firm nervously with the support of the girl.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, please come inside!"

As soon as the two entered the door, a staff member with a Ning-style firm logo greeted them. "Miss, please go this way!"

The woman in blue was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the staff who came through the veiled hat. It was obvious that this was a woman! "Thank you girl!"

"Miss, you're welcome. I'm the salesperson here, number [-]. You can just call me Ajiu. Today I will be in charge of receiving the two ladies. If you have any questions that you don't understand, you can ask Ajiu."

Ah Jiu is a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with a round face, big eyes, and crooked eyebrows when she smiles, she looks very cute.

"Thank you, Miss Ajiu, and ask Miss Ajiu to show us around."

Ah Jiu smiled slightly: "Miss is too polite, this is Ah Jiu's job, what's the trouble! Our boss said that customers are our gods, and we must treat God with 100% sincerity. Two ladies, please follow me Come!"

She remembers every word that the boss said. Although she doesn't know what God is, she just thinks what the boss said makes sense.

"Ning's business has three floors. The first floor sells some daily necessities. Please look, two ladies, here are all kinds of toothpaste and toothbrushes, there are soaps and scented soaps, and the innermost ones are Shampoo, shower gel. The second floor is our skin care and make-up area, do you want to go up with Ah Jiu to have a look, the two young ladies?"

The woman in blue nodded!

Ah Jiu brought the two of them to the second floor. As soon as they arrived on the second floor, they found that there were very few customers on the second floor, but most of them were dressed gorgeously, and they looked like rich ladies.

"Look, ladies, this is skin care lotion, this is skin care milk, and this is mask! Everything here has different effects, whitening, moisturizing, freckle removing, wrinkle removing, oil removing, moisturizing, Everything you need, specifically for all kinds of skin problems."

Ah Jiu was quite proud of what he said, and he didn't know if their boss was a god or not, so why did he know everything!She used to be a black girl, since she used a set of whitening products, her parents almost didn't recognize her.

Their boss often told them that to work in Ning's Commercial Firm, you must first dress up and tidy yourself clean and beautiful, so that customers will be happy when they see it.

Hearing what Ah Jiu said, the maid in green grabbed her hand and asked, "Is what you said true? Any skin problem can be cured!"

Ah Jiu maintained his usual smile and said: "Of course it is true. Ah Jiu is the best proof. Ah Jiu was as black as black charcoal before, isn't it much whiter now?"

The girl in green stared at her, as if she could see something from her face, but to her disappointment, Ah Jiu didn't show a hint of guilt.

"Miss!"

The woman in blue knew what the servant girl meant, but could she really do it?
Seeing the girl's disbelief, Ah Jiu said, "Miss, we can try it for free here. Our boss said that if it doesn't work, we don't need to charge money!"

What Ah Jiu said was full of confidence, and the woman in blue felt a little moved. Why didn't she want to improve her appearance, and then come back stunningly.

The woman in blue is named Du Xueyuan, the daughter of Du Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but was sent to the Zhuangzi to cultivate because of her appearance.In fact, she knew in her heart that this was no self-cultivation, it was clearly that the Shang Shufu had given up on her!

"Ah Jiu, can you give me a set of freckle removal?"

Ah Jiu was overjoyed, it seemed that this young lady was moved.

"Miss, it's not that Ah Jiu is unwilling, but there are many skin care products for removing freckles here. Ah Jiu must first understand the basic condition of your skin before knowing which one is most suitable for you. Miss, would you like to pick it?" Put down the curtain hat, let Ah Jiu have a look?"

Du Xueyuan hesitated, do you really want to pick it?
Ah Jiu said again: "Miss, please believe me, we are completely confidential to every guest."

Hearing what Ah Jiu said, Du Xueyuan nodded, she gently raised the corner of the veiled hat, and quickly put it down again.

When seeing Du Xueyuan's true face, Ah Jiu was very calm.In fact, Du Xueyuan's facial features are very good, but her skin is very dry, and there are many black spots on her face. If she didn't make a mistake, this lady has sensitive skin.So she can't use any powder, so she can only go out with a quilted hat.

"Miss, if Ah Jiu is not mistaken, you don't need any powder, right?"

"Yes, that's it." The maid nodded.

"Miss, you have dry and sensitive skin. Because your skin is dry and dehydrated for a long time, it leads to the deposition of melanin, which forms black spots." Ah Jiu said.

"Dare to ask Miss Ajiu, is there any way to improve it?" Hearing Ajiu's symptoms, Du Xueyuan believed in Ajiu again.

Ah Jiu smiled confidently: "Of course. We have a Tiannv Mulan freckle removal set, which is aimed at your skin type. Miss, would you like to try it?"

Du Xueyuan was overjoyed: "Yes, yes. It's just that Miss Ajiu, can you come in person, I don't want others to know."

Ah Jiu happily agreed. After all, the boss said that the customer is God, and you must be sincere to God.

Ah Jiu brought Du Xueyuan to the inner room on the second floor and let her lie on a special recliner. "Miss, Ah Jiu is about to start, you should relax a bit, if you feel any discomfort on the way, please tell Ah Jiu in time."

"Hmm." Du Xueyuan snorted softly.

Ah Jiu first washed Du Xueyuan's face with facial cleanser. She shivered at first, and then a cool and comfortable feeling came, and her body gradually relaxed.After washing her face, Ah Jiu put on a mask for her, and Du Xueyuan fell asleep in a burst of comfort.

Ah Jiu said to the maidservant Lu Yi: "Let your miss sleep for a while, this mask will only be effective after a stick of incense is applied."

Seeing her young lady sleeping soundly, the maidservant Luyi felt a little more grateful to Ah Jiu.It's been a long time since the young lady has relaxed like this. She doesn't understand why the master and madam treat her like this when the young lady is so nice.

After a stick of incense, Ah Jiu took care of the mask on Du Xueyuan's face, and the maid gently woke her up. "Miss, miss, wake up, Madara, Madara is really fading."

"Really, really? Come on, give me the bronze mirror." Du Xueyuan took the bronze mirror and carefully looked at herself in the bronze mirror. The spots really faded, although only a little, but they did fade. up.

"Xiao Cui!" A hot teardrop flowed down Du Xueyuan's face, Xiao Cui knew that their young lady was crying with joy.

Ah Jiu left the time and space to the master and servant, and it took a long time for the two of them to leave the inner room.Seeing Du Xueyuan put on the veiled hat again, Ah Jiu said: "Miss, we still have cosmetics for your sensitive skin, would you like to try it, Ah Jiu promises to let you go out beautifully."

"Really? Take me to try it!" After seeing the effect of the mask, Du Xueyuan was absolutely relieved of Ah Jiu. With such a good thing, she was of course willing to try it.

"Miss, look, this area is the make-up area of ​​our Ning's firm. Now you just need to sit quietly, and leave the rest to Ah Jiu." Ah Jiu skillfully put on Du Xueyuan's makeup.

Du Xueyuan's facial features are very good, willow leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, nose bridge, peach blossom lips, and a kind of beauty of weak willows and wind, the only shortcoming is that her forehead is a bit long.Ah Jiu put a peach blossom makeup on her and drew a peach blossom on her forehead.

Looking at her masterpiece, Ah Jiu felt complacent. Her skills are getting better and better. Will the owner be happy when she finds out?

"Miss, take a look, are you satisfied?" Ah Jiu gave the bronze mirror to Du Xueyuan.

The maid in green hurried over, and the moment she saw Du Xueyuan, she exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God, Miss, you are so beautiful!"

"Really?" Du Xueyuan took the bronze mirror anxiously, not daring to open her eyes.

Seeing that my miss didn't believe it, the maid hurriedly said: "Miss, you are really, really beautiful now. How much more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in the capital?"

"Nonsense, how could your young lady be comparable to the number one beauty."

Hearing what her maid said, Du Xueyuan hurriedly scolded, although this is not the capital city, it would be bad if it got out.She picked up the bronze mirror, took a look, and couldn't help being stunned. This, is this really her?

"Hee hee, miss, let me say that you are more beautiful than the number one beauty. You still don't believe me. Now you know that I didn't lie!" The servant girl said with a smile.

This time Du Xueyuan stopped talking, and she looked at herself in the mirror again.The wind bun reveals the temples, the eyebrows and eyes are lightly swept, the skin is as soft as jade, the cherry mouth is red, delicate and charming, and the two strands of hair on the side of the cheeks are gently blown by the wind to add a bit of seductive style, And the nimbly moving eyes are turning wisely, a bit mischievous, a bit mischievous, especially the peach blossom between the eyebrows, which adds a bit of immortality, so beautiful that it can't be eaten.

Is this really her?
"Ah Jiu, how did you do it? Why can't you see the slightest trace of makeup?" If she didn't know what she looked like, she would doubt that this was the real her.

Ah Jiu chuckled and said, "Miss, what's the problem? You can do it with our Ning's makeup. The makeup that Ah Jiu painted for you is called peach blossom makeup. It's not the most powerful. It’s just that Ah Jiu thought it was very suitable for Miss, so he drew it like this. If our Fourth Miss makes a move, Ah Jiu guarantees that the effect will be even more amazing?”
