Cai, along with a few of her stewards, stood at the door of Hongyanzui, her face almost broken with laughter.

She had thought that today's opening would be unusually lively, but she had never imagined it would be this lively.

There are more people than those attending the New Year’s party in the county.

Fortunately, she had informed the county government in advance and asked the bailiffs to maintain order, otherwise the beauty would have been squeezed to pieces.

Seeing this situation, many female relatives thought it would be difficult to move forward in the carriage, so they simply got off and walked to Hongyanzui's door.

Hongyanzui is a two-story building. The female relatives who received the invitations were invited to the second floor and served by specially trained maids.

This is also to prevent them from being bumped into.

A circle of people gathered at the door to watch the excitement.

The sound of firecrackers was endless, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of red firecracker shreds.

There is also a famous local lion dance troupe performing lion dance to celebrate.

As the auspicious time approached, the surrounding area was filled with the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers.

The plaque on the door was covered with red cloth. With one leap of the lion dancer, the lion head easily took away the red silk cloth.

The three words "Hongyanzui" were revealed in front of everyone.

Especially at this moment, the sunlight just happened to reflect on the plaque, and the plaque was shining brightly, which made everyone marvel at it.

They all sighed with emotion, saying that it was indeed a gift from the imperial concubine in the capital's palace, and it was so extraordinary.

Cai took the opportunity to announce publicly that Hongyanzui was having a grand opening sale today. Any customer who bought Hongyanzui's rouge and powder would receive a small gift.

If you spend more than 20 taels, you can enjoy discounts.

Anyone who spends fifty taels or more will be considered a distinguished customer of Hongyanzui and will be given a VIP card. Not only will they receive more favorable prices when purchasing rouge and powder from Hongyanzui in the future, but they will also have priority in purchasing Hongyanzui's new products...

There are many kinds of benefits and preferential measures.

It is easy to make money from women in this world, not to mention the noble ladies at the top who were tempted by it.

Even the young girls and wives from ordinary families who were watching the fun were ready to make a move.

This is rouge and powder made with a secret recipe from the palace, used by the ladies in the palace.

This is probably the only chance in their lives for them to use the same items as the ladies in the palace.

If I can’t afford the expensive one, can’t I buy the cheap one?

If one person can’t afford it, can’t a few people pool their money together?

At the very least, you can go in and watch the excitement, right? If you can't afford to buy, you can at least take in the fragrance and broaden your horizons, right?

Therefore, he just waited for Cai to finish speaking, then smiled and nodded at everyone, and then retreated inside.

Everyone was silent at first, but when they saw the maid at the door making a gesture to invite them in, they woke up as if from a dream and rushed in.

So many people rushed in at once that the maid at the door was squeezed so hard that she couldn't stand.

Fortunately, Cai was well prepared. She saw what was happening inside and waved her hand. Seven or eight strong women came out and blocked the door.

He said with a smile that in order to give everyone a pleasant shopping environment, everyone was asked to wait for a moment until the group that went in first had finished shopping and came out, and then they were invited in.

Those who were stopped outside were naturally a little unwilling. Several of the hot-tempered ones couldn't help but say, "He's just selling rouge and powder, and he's making people wait outside? It's so expensive? It doesn't matter where you buy it. Go home—"

"That's right. It's been hyped up so much, but who knows if it really works? I'm not going to join in the fun anymore. Let's go home, go home—"

As soon as they lifted their feet, they heard a series of "wa" sounds coming from inside. Their feet, which were about to move, seemed to be welded to the ground and could not move.

They looked at each other and felt a little awkward.

"Well, actually, it's okay to wait a little. Good things make people wait."

"Yes, yes, yes. The things used by the Empress in the palace must be precious. It's only right that we wait, it's only right—"

……

The people outside stared through the gaps between the sturdy old women, trying to see what was happening inside.

Unfortunately, the maids were plump and blocked the view so well that I couldn’t see anything.

Finally, someone came out from inside, with a cheerful face and holding a delicate little basket woven from bamboo, with a small sachet hanging outside the basket.

As I approached, an indescribably pleasant floral scent hit my nose.

Someone who knew the people who had just come out took a look and said in surprise, "Ah Hua, you weren't like this before you went in. Why do you look paler?"

The girl named Ah Hua said excitedly, "Try whatever you like. I tried her powder and it's really white and fragrant. It looks better, doesn't it?"

"And you see, she uses these little baskets to store her rouge and powder, and she even gives me a sachet filled with flower petals. It smells so good—"

After saying that, she happily walked forward a few steps carrying the small basket and sachet.

He repeated what he had just said and showed off.

He showed off from the door to the end of the street.

Attracted more women to gather around.

The women who were blocked at the door were even more reluctant to leave. It was as if there were nails under their feet, and they defended the positions and territory they had just squeezed out with all their might.

I secretly swore in my heart that I would be able to get in soon and I must be the first one to rush in.

Fortunately, people came out one after another. Some of them looked happy and cheerful, some were dejected, and some were regretful.

The one who was happy at first was easy to understand, but the one who was unhappy immediately found someone to confide in when asked: "Everything here is good, I can't wait to buy them all. It's a pity that I don't have enough money, so I can only reluctantly pick one thing——"

……

Lu Zhenzhen had already taken Lan, Nanny Ye and two older maids to the private room upstairs.

The private room was very large, and there was no one else inside except them.

Even if Cai wanted to come and serve, she couldn't leave at this moment.

Everyone upstairs and downstairs is busy, and they still feel there are not enough people.

Upstairs is not as noisy and lively as downstairs, and it is much quieter.

The waitresses were all pretty and charming. They held the plates and introduced the dishes to the guests in a gentle voice.

We also help customers try out makeup.

The women who can come upstairs are all rich.

They also bought rouge and powder from some old brands. Although they had certain expectations for the so-called secret recipes of the palace, they were still shocked when they tried them on and saw the results.

The effect is amazing! My cheeks are soft and smooth, fine lines and spots are gone, my lips are rosy, and my mouth is filled with sweet fragrance.

Just using these two things will make their makeup look more fitting and pleasing to the eye than the ones they usually spend half a day meticulously putting on.

They kept looking at themselves in the mirror, unable to let it go, and almost fell in love with themselves in the mirror.

At this moment, these female relatives had completely forgotten their husbands' instructions such as to talk to the county magistrate's wife and try to please her.

All I could think about was this good stuff, I should grab a few sets to take home.
