【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

The day before the store officially opened, Yun Xi received the admission notice from Yuelu Academy that she had spent a lot of money to get. For this notice, she not only gave Master Qin a set of polo protective clothing, but also found an authentic painting by an ancient master, spending a full three thousand taels. This was just a place on loan.

Yun Xi pushed the notice in front of her second son and looked at him lovingly. "Yu'er, mother has said before that you won't achieve much if you work in isolation. Yuelu Academy is one of the four major academies in Zhao State. It is home to many famous teachers and outstanding students. When you get there, don't compare yourself with others or get anxious. Just do your job well, step by step. Ask the teacher actively if you don't understand something. The first step is to become a full student from a borrowed student, then become a Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi."

The notice was as heavy as a thousand gold coins. Qi Yu didn't dare to pick it up. He opened it carefully and saw the four golden characters "Yuelu Academy". His heart was filled with excitement. He looked at his mother with trembling lips, "Mom! You, you are so good to me."

"You are my son. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? You can bring a servant with you to the Yuelu Academy. This time, you should bring two servants, Hu Da and Hu Er. They are tall and strong and can protect you closely. As guards, take Bai Zhan and Li Huan, who are good at martial arts. When you arrive, rent a courtyard near the academy. You can set up a private class there to make it convenient for you to study."

Yun Xi raised her hand, Xiaodong took out a box, put it on the table, and then quietly retreated.

"Look, there are one hundred taels of gold and two thousand taels of silver notes in it. You should take good care of it. You can use copper coins when traveling. Don't be too generous when you meet people. It's better to let people think you are a pauper than a rich young man. Don't be too concerned about your reputation and suffer in return. Save this money. In three years, your mother will see you soar to the sky." Yun Xi's eyes were shining as she encouraged him.

"Mother, I will remember this. I will definitely cherish this opportunity to study." Qi Yu felt very proud and there was a sense of pride in his chest, which made him want to pick up the book immediately.

"Okay, mother believes you."

Watching San'er stride away, Yun Xi rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and said to the system, "I hope this child has a bright future."

"Your son is quite hardworking. Ultimately, he lacks a renowned teacher. He reads and memorizes books every day, but doesn't understand their meaning." The system consoled her. "He has a solid foundation and knows the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. As long as he studies hard at Yuelu Academy, passing the exam shouldn't be a problem."

"I know the facts but not the reasons. He was educated in the Du family school from the age of three to fourteen. He took the imperial examination but failed. The original owner's husband felt that his son had no talent, so he sent him back. After he came back, the child still held on to his books every day and didn't like to do business." Yun Xi thought about it and sighed. It was really too presumptuous to let him give up after only one exam.

The next morning, the Qi family gave Qi Yu a low-key farewell. As they watched him go away, Yun Xi first sent the family members back home, then secretly came out and ran to the teahouse opposite Zhuyan Pavilion to observe the situation of her own shop.

Zhuyan Pavilion is the name she gave to her store. There are not many types of products in the store, but fortunately the name is unique and gives people a sense of mystery, thus attracting customers.

At this time, after a string of firecrackers was set off, Shopkeeper Xue made a dazzling appearance wearing a light pink linen dress with peony embroidery and delicate makeup on her face.

Zhuyan Pavilion is located at the end of a busy street. To attract customers, Shopkeeper Xue walked down the street and introduced his makeup. "Dear fellow villagers, distinguished guests, please don't miss it if you pass by. Zhuyan Pavilion officially opens today. Have you seen the makeup on my face? Those who know me know that my face has been dull and blemish-prone from too much makeup in the past. But look at my face now."

Shopkeeper Xue's confident and graceful demeanor aroused the curiosity of the young ladies who came to shop. In addition, their girls had never seen his makeup before, so their feet seemed to be stuck to the ground and they couldn't move.

With people watching, Shopkeeper Xue became even more excited. He talked incessantly about the comparison between his skin before and now. He also showed everyone his lip makeup, eyebrow makeup and eye makeup up close, and the most important thing was the peony flower on his forehead.

The main thing is that she really didn't lie. She originally had fair skin, but because of too much makeup, many spots appeared on her face, and her skin became dull and dry. After being chosen as the manager of Zhuyan Pavilion, the owner asked her to try the soap for half a month, and her skin regained its former luster. At this time, she didn't put any powder on her face, only painted eyebrows, eyes and lips.

A young lady was so excited that she asked curiously, "Does Zhuyan Pavilion sell rouge and powder?"

Shopkeeper Xue covered his mouth and laughed, "Not only that, we've invented a cleansing soap that's even more powerful than bath beans. As you all know, makeup may look good, but if it's not cleaned properly, it can cause serious damage to the skin. Often, even washing it off several times won't help. With soap, you don't have to worry about that anymore. Soap can cleanse deep into the skin, clearing out the dirt clogged in the pores. Finally, use our lotion and toner set to close the pores and rejuvenate your skin!"

This hits the nail on the head. Makeup is beautiful, but it can cause a lot of damage to your skin.

Another young lady whispered, "Excuse me, how old is the shopkeeper this year?"

Shopkeeper Xue smiled brightly and said openly, "I am already thirty years old this year. In two years, I will be a grandmother. Can you all take a look at the condition of my skin?"

Are you tempted? Of course you should be. At the request of several young ladies, Shopkeeper Xue took them back to Zhuyan Pavilion, gave them some trial soap, and told them to proceed according to the plan.

Five female workers came out, and Shopkeeper Xue said politely, "Ladies and friends, please follow them to the second floor. We will provide you with a comprehensive skin care treatment. This experience is only available to customers who have made purchases in the first three days of the store opening."

The five young ladies looked at each other, and then followed the female workers to the compartment on the second floor. Each of them had a room to themselves, and the process was similar for each female worker.

Ignoring the maid's nervousness, the female worker said to her, "Please write down the process of my care for your young lady so that I can do the same for her when I get back."

As she spoke, she skillfully wet the soap, helped the ladies clean their faces carefully, gently massaged the foam, and then continued to gently massage their necks and heads while applying the mask. After the mask time was up, the female worker massaged them again to promote skin absorption. After that, she cleaned their faces again and applied lotion on them. After massaging the lotion to promote absorption, the whole process was considered over.

"Miss, please look."

The female worker took out a polished bronze mirror. Miss Li curiously examined her face and found that it had indeed changed a lot. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's amazing! Give me ten copies of everything you gave me this time."

The female worker explained that facial masks were not for sale, but everything else was. Miss Li was not disappointed when she heard this and immediately said, "Then I will come back tomorrow."
