A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

"Sister Pearl, if a customer asks how our rouge is better than others, what should we say?" a round-faced girl asked.

Huang Zhenzhu smiled slightly: "Tell her that the value of our rouge lies in its clean formula, which does not harm the skin, looks natural on the face, balances skin tone, restores complexion, covers blemishes, and has a long-lasting effect. You must speak sincerely and not belittle others."

Although the girls in the provincial capital learned quickly, they lacked practical experience, and Huang Zhenzhu had to teach them step by step in many areas.

She repeatedly demonstrated how to greet guests, how to introduce products, and how to observe guests' expressions to judge their preferences and concerns.

Originally, whether at Liu's Restaurant or Qiyue Tower, Liu Xiong always took charge of the shops and played a leading role, while Huang Zhenzhu could only help from the sidelines.

But this time it's different.

Liu Xiong knew absolutely nothing about shops like Yuejige, which specialized in women's cosmetics.

He watched Huang Zhenzhu bustling about, constantly explaining, demonstrating, and correcting, and saw her skillfully guiding a group of girls. Suddenly, he realized that his wife seemed to be radiating light when she was busy with these things.

During the time they operated separately, Huang Zhenzhu had grown in a way that impressed him.

That radiance didn't come from fancy clothes or exquisite jewelry, but from her focus, her confidence, and her passion for her career.

"Brother Xiong, what are you standing there for?" Huang Zhenzhu turned around by chance and saw him staring at her without moving. She couldn't help but scold him, "Come and help me move these boxes upstairs to the makeup trial area."

Liu Xiong snapped out of his daze and quickly replied, "Yes, I'm coming!"

He strode forward, took the box from her hand, and couldn't help but smile slightly, his heart filled with pride.

As Liu Xiong passed by Huang Zhenzhu, he couldn't help but praise her, "Zhenzhu, I think you look especially charming right now."

Huang Zhenzhu rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. Who wouldn't want to hear their husband's praise?

Liu Xiong chuckled, leaned closer, and whispered, "Can you go home early tonight?"

Huang Zhenzhu pinched his waist hard and said irritably, "What are you thinking about all day with that big head of yours? The opening is tomorrow, and there's so much to do that you don't even have time to breathe. You still want to go home early? I'm afraid you'll be busy until midnight tonight."

……

Downstairs, everyone was busy at work, and Nie Qianqian was not idle either.

She was conducting final training with four slender women in a private room on the second floor.

Among these four was Ah Ling, whom she had carefully selected.

They were originally apprentices at the clinic, and they knew a little about medicine and acupuncture.

And they will become a major highlight of Yuejige in the provincial capital—providing exclusive "SPA" services for ladies of high status.

In modern times, Nie Qianqian enjoys going to spas, which offer a variety of services including body care, facial care, hydrotherapy, wellness, relaxation, and more.

However, in ancient times, due to limitations, it was impossible to achieve such a comprehensive approach. Nevertheless, she adapted to local conditions and developed several SPA services that were both contemporary and unique.

They are divided into two main categories: nursing care and wellness care.

Beauty and personal care products include facial cleansing, detoxification, moisturizing, head massage, eyebrow shaping, as well as body massage and fragrance treatments.

Health-preserving methods include moxibustion, scraping, foot massage, and acupuncture, which are used to regulate the body, remove dampness, and improve complexion from the inside out.

Nie Qianqian gave detailed instructions and precautions for the final technique, her tone patient and meticulous.

"Remember to use gentle pressure, prioritizing the guest's comfort."

"When performing moxibustion, be careful to keep a safe distance; do not get too close to avoid burns."

"Facial scraping should follow the direction of the meridians, and should not be done against them."

The four women listened attentively, nodding occasionally and trying to remember every detail.

They knew that they were about to meet some of the most distinguished guests in the provincial capital.

Whether they can do a good job will directly affect the reputation of Yuejige.

Nie Qianqian nodded in satisfaction as she watched their focused expressions.

Tomorrow will be the day that Yuejige officially opens in the provincial capital.

She was confident that she could make this place a place that all ladies and young women flocked to.

In the evening, Gu Xiao brought Tuantuan and Tiedan over as well. Since everyone was still busy, they all ate dinner at Yueji Pavilion.

Jiang Lingyang was really curious about Nie Qianqian's shop, so he came along too.

He had seen many shops with novel decorations in the capital, but when he walked into Yuejige, he was still impressed.

Unlike other shops that use large areas of wood, mahogany, or bronze, Qianqian's shop uses light colors and has few wooden products. Instead, it has a lot of marble, mirrors, and crystal, making the whole room very bright.

"This shop is indeed decorated in a very novel way."

Wei Susu smiled proudly, "Qianqian always has some novel ideas in her mind."

Tuantuan and Tiedan both particularly liked Qianqian's shop, which was sparkly and full of mirrors, making them want to look at themselves all the time.

The two of them were having so much fun looking at their reflections in the mirror, making funny faces and sticking out their tongues.

"Tuantuan, come here! This mirror is huge!" Tiedan called Tuantuan to a large floor-to-ceiling mirror on the inside. The mirror was so big that it reflected both children. The two children looked at their reflections and giggled non-stop, their laughter infectious to everyone present.

The two little white tigers were also attracted by the mirrors. They looked at themselves in the mirror one after another, and each time they would shake their heads and admire themselves for a long time.

Jiang Lingyang and Wei Susu looked at Tuantuan and the others with doting smiles.

Seeing Tuantuan's cute and innocent smile fills them with a soft sense of happiness.

Wei Susu said softly to Jiang Lingyang, "Lingyang, after so many years in the capital, I feel that I have rarely been able to feel such simple happiness."

Jiang Lingyang nodded in agreement: "Indeed. The court is treacherous and the capital is complicated. We spend too much time dealing with the court, managing relationships between aristocratic families, and thinking about etiquette and rules. We've forgotten what the simplest and purest joy of family life is like."

After a satisfying dinner, Tuantuan and Tiedan drank milk. Tuantuan snuggled up to Nie Qianqian, while Tiedan was held in Huang Zhenzhu's arms.

Looking at Huang Zhenzhu's appearance, Tiedan couldn't help but praise, "Mother, you are so beautiful."

Huang Zhenzhu flicked Tie Dan's nose and said with a smile, "You have such a sweet tongue."

Tie Dan shook his head and said seriously, "Tie Dan is not lying. Mother is really more beautiful than any of the women I have seen in the county town and the village."

Huang Zhenzhu then deliberately teased him: "Oh? How does it compare to your sister Qianqian?"

Tie Dan looked at Nie Qianqian, unsure how to answer. He scratched his head and laughed, "Mother is mother, Qianqian is older sister. They're different and can't be compared."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. Tuantuan also smiled and snuggled into Nie Qianqian's arms, whispering, "Mother, I feel so happy right now."

Nie Qianqian hugged Tuanzi and kissed his forehead. "Do you still remember what your mother said when she took you away from the Nie family? Your mother hoped that Tuan Tuan would become the happiest child in the world."

Happiness cannot be compared; the happiest children are those who grow up nurtured in love.
