After the other shops gradually got on track, Nan Wusi began to think about his next shop.
She had already unlocked the cosmetics and skincare products in the system's store, but she hadn't had time to browse and buy them.
Namo thought about what he had learned about these ladies and young women from noble families over the past period of time, and felt that what they cared about most now was whitening their skin. Just by looking at the thick layer of powder on their faces, he could tell.
Those young ladies described as naturally beautiful all had skin so fair it practically glowed. Meanwhile, some girls with darker skin, even if they had very delicate features, couldn't be considered beauties.
This shows that, regardless of the world, aesthetic preferences in this area are surprisingly similar.
However, the skincare products in this system's shop were surprisingly expensive, while the cosmetics were slightly better, still a bit more expensive than regular clothing. Nan Wu thought it best to select some cosmetics to sell first, since she currently didn't have enough money.
Nan Wusi first selected several basic cosmetics, including foundation, eyebrow pencil, lipstick, eyeshadow, and makeup remover, which she would need later.
Namo Si first followed up on Mengyifang by posting a notice stating that he was about to open a new cosmetics store and was now offering free makeup lessons to ladies and young women. If anyone was interested, they could sign up now.
However, due to limited space, only ten spots are available each day. Ladies and young ladies who come to participate can also bring one of their personal maids.
After Nan Wusi posted the notice, the response was very strong. After all, many ladies and young women had previously learned how to style their hair and coordinate outfits from Nan Wusi for free. Now that they saw that they could learn makeup for free, they rushed to sign up.
Originally, no one knew what makeup was, but Nan Wusi had mentioned it during his conversations with these ladies and young women, so they found it easy to accept this new term. Instead, they were very curious about what kind of products Nan Wusi would sell in his new store.
Yesterday, Wu Qingzi managed to snag the first spot for a custom order, so when she came to Mengyifang today, she happened to see Nan Wusi posting the announcement.
Wu Qingzi was very curious about why Nan Wusi had so many wonderful ideas now. Originally, she had scoffed at Nan Wusi's Dream Clothing Shop, thinking that these ladies were just boasting. However, after her last contact with Nan Wusi, she wanted to try it out for herself.
"Miss Nan, why are you offering free makeup lessons? These noble ladies and young women are already doing all this every day, what else do you need to teach them?"
Wu Qingzi's question wasn't meant to be disrespectful to Nan Wusi; it was simply that she couldn't understand why these noble ladies and young women had nothing better to do than spend their days figuring out how to make themselves look more beautiful, while Nan Wusi even offered to teach everyone makeup for free. She didn't think there was anything worth learning from him.
"Miss Wu, if you're interested, you can come and participate once too?" Nan Wusi smiled, not taking Wu Qingzi's words to heart. She knew that some people would definitely question her ideas.
“Miss Wu, actually, your current makeup doesn’t suit you.” Nan Wusi carefully examined Wu Qingzi’s makeup and continued, “Your usual clothes are very heroic, but this makeup is too soft, which cancels out most of your heroic spirit and doesn’t look harmonious at all.”
"Now that you mention it, it's true. I always feel like my clothes sometimes look a bit out of place." Wu Qingzi agreed with Nan Wusi's words, and this problem had been bothering her for a long time, but she had never found a good solution.
"Now I understand a bit about how amazing Miss Nan is, haha, I want to sign up too!" Wu Qingzi laughed heartily, her goodwill towards Nan Wusi growing stronger.
“Okay, I believe Miss Wu will definitely not be disappointed.” Nan Wusi nodded with a smile.
"Let's finalize the style of clothing that Miss Wu likes today. You can come and pick it up in a week," Nan Wusi said, bringing the conversation back to business.
“Okay.” Wu Qingzi sat down in the chair reserved for customized customers and then explained her needs.
In fact, Wu Qingzi's requirements were very simple: she just wanted some convenient clothes that also looked somewhat chivalrous.
Although Wu Qingzi was a young lady from a respectable family, she had been influenced by her family since childhood and had a dream of becoming a chivalrous woman. However, due to the limitations of her status, she could only help some poor people and uphold justice in the capital.
“Miss Wu’s requirements are quite in line with her own temperament, and I certainly won’t let you down,” Nan Wusi said as he saw Wu Qingzi off at the store.
"If that's what Miss Nan says, then I'll wait and see." Wu Qingzi smiled and left in a good mood.
While Nan Wusi was learning about Wu Qingzi's customized needs, a steady stream of ladies and young women had already come to sign up. Fortunately, Nan Wusi's free makeup lessons would last for several days, so all that was needed was to rank these ladies and young women according to their order of arrival. Ye Zi quickly completed the registration.
After all, the ladies and young women who frequented Mengyifang were all acquaintances, so there was no situation where Ye Zi would be made difficult.
After having some free time, Nan Wusi looked at the list of ladies and young women who would be attending the event the next day. He made a plan in mind, intending to first teach them some basic things, and then give them some specific advice on makeup styles that suited them.
Most of these ladies and young women had attended the free makeup and hair classes, so they tacitly brought a lot of fruit and pastries with them, which was a customary practice in their little circle.
