A week later, Song Jingxue arrived at the store as scheduled.
Nan Wusi had been waiting for a long time with two outfits. Since Song Jingxue wanted a bright and lively look, Nan Wusi chose vibrant colors. One outfit was a yellow top paired with a light green skirt, and the other was a pink short-sleeved shirt with a fluffy vest and a matching skirt. Both outfits had cute and playful elements.
However, even after changing her clothes today, Nan Wusi still felt a sense of incongruity when looking at Song Jingxue. Mainly, Song Jingxue's aloof and serene temperament was too pronounced, and her makeup, hair, and clothes were extremely mismatched.
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Song Jingxue's face, Nan Wusi stepped forward and asked, "Miss Song, may I help you change your hair accessories and makeup?"
“Okay.” Song Jingxue nodded upon hearing this. Tang Tang had also changed her makeup and hair before, making her seem like a completely different person, so Song Jingxue still had a lot of faith in Nan Wusi’s skills.
So Nan Wusi spent some time changing Song Jingxue's hair into a more girlish gourd-shaped bun, which indeed improved the match with her clothes.
When changing into her second pink fluffy outfit, Nan Wusi added some white pom-poms to Song Jingxue's head as decoration, making her look cute and playful.
Song Jingxue stared wide-eyed with curiosity. It was the first time she had ever seen someone put a pom-pom on their head as a decoration. It was quite novel, but it actually looked pretty good.
Nan Wusi added a little color to Song Jingxue's makeup, making her look more energetic.
“Manager Nan, I think you should teach your makeup and hair skills to the personal maids of these ladies and young ladies. I believe many ladies would be willing to pay to learn. At least I would,” Song Jingxue suddenly said.
"Miss Song, you think too highly of me." Nan Wusi smiled and shook her head. She knew her own limitations. She only knew some simple makeup and hairstyling. She couldn't do anything more complicated.
However, Song Jingxue did provide her with an idea, which she could try if given the opportunity in the future. Judging from today's situation, there might be many more times in the future when she needs to modify her makeup and hair according to the clothes, so it's worth spending her beauty points to learn how.
The final result was quite good, and Song Jingxue bought both sets. She left wearing the pink set, which showed how much she liked it.
After receiving the silver, Nan Wusi converted it all into beauty points and invested them in learning makeup and hairstyling.
At times like this, Namo Si would sigh that money was no longer considered money.
However, this time, after returning home, Song Jingxue unusually praised and recommended Nan Wusi and her Dream Clothing Shop among the noble ladies. After all, her new outfit had attracted a lot of attention, and many people came to her to inquire about it, so she naturally told them the truth.
The young ladies were also surprised to find that Miss Song, who was usually quiet, became quite talkative when discussing Mengyifang. This further fueled their curiosity and desire to investigate.
So, over the next period of time, Nan Wusi noticed that people would come to the shop from time to time to take a look. Some just glanced at it, some asked her questions, and some wanted her to change their makeup and hair.
Nan Wusi was quite pleased, and even offered to change the makeup and hair of the ladies and young women who came seeking her out, free of charge. After all, she needed to practice to improve her skills. These ladies and young women who came to her door not only gave her experience points but also earned her a lot of goodwill, so why not?
Nan Wusi also won the hearts of many noble ladies and young women because of her generosity. Now, Mengyifang has left a very good impression on them. It's just a pity that the customization method prevents many of them from experiencing the charm of Mengyifang further. They can only patiently wait for the next opportunity to queue up.
Nan Wusi has been very busy these past two weeks, not only designing dresses for the two ladies, but also constantly honing his skills.
Now, Nanwusi's Dream Clothing Shop has made a name for itself in aristocratic circles, and many ladies and young women are eagerly anticipating the next batch of custom-made orders.
Half a month later, the thing that Nan Wusi had been eagerly waiting for finally received a response.
“Miss Nan, His Highness Prince Yi has sent me to invite you to take a look at the shops he has acquired.” Xuan Li appeared in front of Nan Wusi’s Dream Clothing Shop that day.
"Really!" Nan Wusi exclaimed excitedly. It had been more than half a month since her last visit to Prince Yi's residence, and she even wanted to go again.
"Miss Nan, please." Xuan Li gestured for her to enter.
"Sister Fang, could you please watch the shop for a bit? Ye Zi and I are going out for a bit," Nan Wusi called out to the inner room.
"Yes, Manager Nan." Tiger's mother was tidying up in the inner room, so she answered, while Ye Zi quickly followed behind Nan Wusi.
The group headed towards the slums, stopping two blocks away. The shop that Xuan Li and his group had taken over was located at the end of this street.
"Miss Nan, this is it." Xuan Li led Nan Wusi to the shop entrance.
As Nan Wusi walked along, she observed the surrounding environment and nearby shops. She found that most of the residents here were ordinary people, and the shops sold daily necessities. There were also fabric shops and tailor shops on this street.
After Nan Wusi pushed open the door and entered, he found that the shop was very spacious, probably originally a combination of several shops. There were no leftover items in the shop, and the whole room was quite spacious and bright, indicating that Xuan Li and his group had sent people to clean it.
The shop was a single-story building with no second floor. Nanwusi was quite satisfied after browsing around.
“This shop is quite nice,” Nan Wusi said to Xuan Li.
“I’m glad Miss Nan is satisfied. However, His Highness Prince Yi means that although the price of this shop has been agreed upon, Miss Nan will still need to pay the rent herself,” Xuan Li explained to Nan Wusi.
"How much is the rent?" Nan Wusi felt a bit of a headache. She didn't have any extra money to pay the rent, not to mention that she also needed to do some simple renovations to the shop.
"The rent is ten taels a month," Xuan Li said succinctly.
"Only ten taels?" Nan Wusi thought the price was quite cheap, within her acceptable range. Even if the business didn't make money, or even lost money, she could afford to lose this amount. After all, she didn't open this shop to make money.
“Yes, if Miss Nan has no objection to the rental price, we can sign the contract immediately.” Xuan Li took out the contract again.
Nan Wusi's face darkened at Xuan Li's actions; it was a suffocatingly familiar sight.
