Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

Ye Qiu Shuang respectfully invited Zhao Yang into the shop, and Shen Wei also entered the shop.

Zhaoyang is trying on makeup in a private room.

Shen Wei was looking at the decoration of the shop. Rouge and powder were arranged in an orderly manner, divided into different areas according to price, and mirrors were placed on the shelves. There were also three female clerks who were responsible for introducing the characteristics of each type of rouge to customers and providing free makeup services to customers.

Outside the Rouge Shop, a "parking area" was set up for parking carriages.

Shen Wei was very satisfied with the decoration of the Rouge Shop. Ye Qiu Shuang was indeed a business genius, following suit and arranging everything very thoughtfully.

After a quick look, Shen Wei returned to the tea room in the shop. She drank tea and waited patiently for Zhao Yang to try on her makeup.

A passerby watching outside the store, most likely an extra arranged by Ye Qiu Shuang, pretended to ask, "What exactly is the Jade Face Makeup Powder? How can it be so useful? Even the princess came to try it herself."

The well-trained female clerk answered in a clear voice: "Jade Face Makeup Powder is the signature product of our Qixiangzhai. It is more delicate than pearl powder, and will not cause large-scale redness or swelling when applied on the face, and it is not easy to fall off when exposed to water. It also has a good concealing effect, and can cover spots and scars on the face without leaving any traces."

The extras deliberately asked, "Really? How much is a box?"

Female clerk: "Fifty taels of silver per box."

Everyone was sighing.

Fifty taels, this is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The female clerk added: "The raw materials for Yuyan makeup powder are expensive and difficult to manufacture. We only sell thirty boxes a month. There are other rouge and powder with suitable prices in the store..."

The female clerk and the extras sang in unison, and their ability to control the situation was excellent. Shen Wei took a sip of tea. She planned to make "Jade Face Makeup Powder" a high-end luxury product for the nobility and only sell it to the rich.

Once the brand becomes more well-known, we will make a batch of ordinary makeup powder which is relatively cheap and has poorer makeup effect and sell it to ordinary customers.

Shen Wei was happily planning her own beauty empire in her mind, when suddenly her eyes paused and she saw an ordinary grey carriage parked on the roadside not far away, outside the crowd of people watching outside the store.

The carriage curtain was opened, revealing a stern and old-fashioned face. His hair and beard were gray, and he was thin and vigorous, looking curiously towards the rouge shop.

Shen Wei put down the teacup and recognized at a glance that this was Mr. Yang Xuanji. Dr. Yang loved his wife dearly and wanted to give the best things in the world to Mrs. Luo. He often bought rouge and powder for his wife, so it was not surprising that he appeared at the door of Qixiangzhai.

Dr. Yang was very interested in Qixiangzhai. Especially when he heard the female clerk say "it has a good concealer effect", his cloudy eyes lit up instantly.

A plan instantly came to Shen Wei's mind.

Shen Wei pursed her lips and smiled. She had finally found a tutor for Shen Xiuming.

"Weiwei, look at me!"

Zhaoyang walked out of the private room happily and came to find Shen Wei. Zhaoyang removed the makeup on her face, and Ye Qiushuang personally made up for the princess, using the "Jade Face Makeup Powder" and a pearl makeup that was popular in Yanjing today.

The makeup is very natural, and Zhaoyang looks even more beautiful. Even if she makes big movements on her face, the makeup won't fall off.

Shen Wei praised sincerely: "The princess is so beautiful."

Zhaoyang smiled and turned to Ye Qiushuang and said, "I want two boxes. I will go to the palace later and give one box to my mother."

Ye Qiu Shuang was overjoyed.

If the Jade Face Makeup Powder could win the favor of the Empress, why would it not be famous? Ye Qiu Shuang personally took two boxes of makeup powder, put them into two exquisite and gorgeous boxes, and respectfully handed them to Zhaoyang's maid Yun'er.

Shen Wei said, "Shopkeeper Ye, I want to buy another box too."

Ye Qiu Shuang was stunned for a moment, but didn't show too much surprise. She also personally gave Shen Wei a box. The two of them approached, and Shen Wei said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The Jade Face Makeup Powder will not be sold to Luoyue Lake Yang Xuanji for the time being."

Ye Qiushuang understood: "Got it."

Princess Zhaoyang left Qixiangzhai.

As soon as Zhaoyang showed up, her beautiful makeup was seen by many people. Zhaoyang's face was white and flawless, and the mole on her face was also covered.

Hearing is not as good as seeing. Everyone was amazed. What a magical makeup powder!

Zhaoyang and Shen Wei left in a carriage, and wealthy customers immediately poured into Qixiangzhai. After all, wealthy customers were a minority, and not many of them could pay for makeup powder right away.

Ye Qiu Shuang said in a clear voice: "There are only 25 boxes of Jade Face Makeup Powder left in stock now, and it is not in the warehouse. It is still in the suburbs and has not been delivered yet. If you want to buy it, please write down your name and address first. When the makeup powder is delivered, our store will send someone to inform you."

The purchasers in turn leave their names and addresses.

A round-faced servant wrote on the book: [Qinghe, Yang Mansion, east suburb of Luoyue Lake.]

Ye Qiu Shuang raised her eyebrows, this should be the Yang Mansion that the boss mentioned.

The round-faced servant handed Ye Qiu Shuang a tael of silver and whispered, "Shopkeeper, my name is Qing He. My master is in great need of Jade Face Makeup Powder. If the makeup powder arrives at the shop, please send someone to let me know as soon as possible."

Ye Qiu Shuang returned the silver and put on a polite smile: "No bribes. If there is enough inventory, I will inform the Yang Mansion as soon as possible."

The round-faced servant breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

The round-faced servant trotted out of the shop and happily told Yang Xuanji in the carriage: "Master, the registration has been made. Once you buy the jade face powder, Madam won't have to worry anymore!"

Inside the carriage, Yang Xuanji smiled, "Madam will have her birthday next month. I will give her a box of concealer powder. She will definitely like it."

There is a burn scar on Luo's right cheek. Although he has been using makeup powder to cover it up for years, the concealer effect is not good and the black scar is still visible.

Luo Shi felt very inferior because of this. Yang Xuanji saw it and felt pain in his heart. He has been looking for a good face-covering makeup powder for these years, but unfortunately the makeup powders he found were not very effective.

Yang Xuanji stroked his gray beard, feeling quite happy: "Let's go to Weiyanji to buy two boxes of snacks for Madam. If Madam can't eat her favorite snacks tonight, she will kick me to sleep in the study."

The round-faced servant covered his mouth and chuckled: "Only the Madam dares to kick the Master."

The curtain was lowered, and the carriage moved slowly, disappearing into the bustling streets of Yanjing.

...

Princess Zhaoyang is the only princess of the Daqing Kingdom and the favorite of the emperor and empress. She has always been the leader of the noble ladies in Yanjing and a beauty trendsetter. Her dress and makeup are often imitated by the noble ladies.

A few years ago, Princess Zhaoyang was drunk and fell asleep in the warm room. A red plum blossom fell on her forehead. After Zhaoyang woke up, she had a new makeup inspiration. She painted a lifelike plum blossom on her forehead and a few plum blossom petals on her cheeks, and named it "Plum Blossom Makeup".

Noble ladies followed suit and plum blossom makeup became popular for a time, which shows the influence of Princess Zhaoyang.

Today, Princess Zhaoyang got a makeup powder called "Yuyan" in a shop called "Qixiangzhai". This makeup powder can even out skin tone, cover blemishes, and is not easy to fall off. The news soon spread throughout Yanjing.

There is no shortage of rich people in Yanjing. Rich mistresses and daughters have sent people to Qixiangzhai to buy "Jade Face Makeup Powder".

After using it, buyers found that the effect was really excellent. As word of mouth spread, Qixiangzhai's "Jade Face Makeup Powder" was in short supply, and the market price was getting higher and higher, and it was even hard to find at a high price.

A month later, Qixiangzhai launched another 30 boxes of Yuyan makeup powder, which were sold out in an instant.

At the same time, Shen Wei received news from Ye Qiu Shuang that Mr. Yang Xuanji from the Yang Mansion wanted to meet the boss behind the rouge shop.
