Mrs. Huang politely took Lin Shuang to the hall, and Xiao Yi followed closely behind, fearing that Lin Shuang would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Huang was really envious when she saw this. Although her husband was nice to her, his mind was not entirely on her. He had several concubines at home.
Fortunately, the concubines were all law-abiding people and got along well with each other.
"Who is this? She is so beautiful." Hearing the voice, everyone looked towards the source of the voice.
The person who came was a woman in a light blue dress. She looked a little younger than Mrs. Huang, but she didn't give off an unpleasant vibe.
"It turns out it's my younger sister. Come and sit down. This lady is the mother of Xiao Ce from Baihe Academy. Look at her. She's 25 years old, but she looks like 18.
The lady said that she could put makeup on me to make me look younger. Do you want me to put makeup on you too?"
Mrs. Huang introduced immediately.
"That's fine, thank you for troubling Madam Xiao."
"You're welcome." Lin Shuang thought that this time she could recommend her own cosmetics.
"Madam, you need to clean your faces. I will put makeup on you later."
"Okay. Cuizhu, fetch two basins of water."
A maid went down immediately.
After a while, the maid brought two basins of water and placed them on the table.
Madam Huang and her aunt began to wash their faces. At first, they were concerned about Xiao Yi's presence, but when they saw Xiao Yi's eyes fixed on Lin Shuang, they knew that they were a loving couple who couldn't wait to be apart for a moment.
Thinking that he was the father of the child prodigy Xiao Ce, he didn't say anything.
While the two ladies were washing their faces, Lin Shuang took off her bag, which was filled with cosmetics. She secretly thought to herself that she would have to carry it with her every day in case something like today happened.
Lin Shuang put makeup on Madam Huang Huang first. The aunt was stunned by her step-by-step process. The effect was indeed good. After the makeup was completed, the aunt and the maids were stunned.
"Sister, this lady's craftsmanship is really good. She makes you look more than five years younger."
The envy and amazement in Auntie's eyes could not be faked. Mrs. Huang was pleasantly surprised and smiled broadly, "Really? Mirror, let me see."
Lin Shuang took out the small mirror she usually used from her bag and said, "Madam, please take a look."
"Is this me? What kind of mirror is this? It's so clear." Mrs. Huang was shocked.
Where does this Madam Xiao come from?
"This mirror is from the other side of the sea. They make mirrors like this there. Coincidentally, I know someone who works there, so I bought this mirror."
"So that's how it is. No wonder Madam Xiao knows more."
Mrs. Huang really liked Lin Shuang more and more the more she looked at her.
"Mrs. Huang really flatters me."
"Mrs. Xiao, can you put on makeup for me?" The concubine couldn't wait any longer. Seeing the great change in the lady's appearance, she was already eager to try it.
"Of course." Lin Shuang came to her aunt and began to put makeup on her. Her aunt looked much younger, not much older than herself, so she could put on some peach blossom makeup.
"Sister, this makeup really suits you, your face looks like a peach blossom."
Lin Shuang smiled knowingly and handed the mirror to her aunt. "Really? Madam Xiao, what kind of makeup is this?"
"Peach blossom makeup." Lin Shuang raised his lips and smiled.
"It's really beautiful. Where did you buy this rouge and powder? It looks different from mine. The ones I use cost dozens of silver coins each, but they're still not as good as yours. I'm willing to spend money on it."
"Madams, I made this myself and will be selling it soon. The county magistrate's wife also said it's useful. I have to go to the county magistrate's mansion today to show my face to Meng Yuan."
"The county magistrate's wife also said it's useful!" Mrs. Huang didn't expect that Mrs. Xiao was really unfathomable. Fortunately, she was her friend.
"Yes." Lin Shuang said with a smile.
"Does Madam Xiao still have it? We want to buy it too." Madam Huang and her aunt felt that this one was indeed better than anything they had.
"I don't have any now, but I will definitely have some in a month. I will sell them at Dieying Pavilion, and I'm already planning to build a workshop in Qingshui Village.
If you want to buy goods and sell them elsewhere, that's fine too. I have names on them."
Lin Shuang pointed to the words on the porcelain vase.
Madam Huang picked it up and took a look. "Ten Miles of Red Makeup, what a good name. I wonder why Madam Xiao would marry someone with such a name."
"I want all the women who love beauty in the world to use my rouge and powder, and a beautiful face is the lifelong dream of every woman."
"Well said." Immediately there was applause.
Everyone looked at that person, it turned out to be...
"Master, why are you back?"
"I'm done with my work." Mr. Huang came over immediately.
"Mr. Xiao, Madam Xiao, may I take a closer look at your rouge and powder?" Mr. Huang said with a smile, a gleam in his eyes.
"Of course." Lin Shuang handed it directly to Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang looked like a smart man.
Mr. Huang was not at all restrained and started to try out the color, texture, and fragrance one by one, with the smile on his face growing wider and wider.
"Madam Xiao, when your workshop is completed, I want to order the first batch of goods and send them to the capital to sell. They will definitely sell very well."
Mr. Huang has never seen such convenient and good rouge and powder.
"I'm afraid that won't work. We'll have to wait for the second batch. I planned to sell the first batch in town."
"That... is fine."
"Don't worry, Mr. Huang. My rouge and powder have a three-year shelf life. Just use them up within three years."
"Three years, actually three years, Madam Xiao, then you must keep the goods for me."
"Okay, but I have one request. My rouge and powder have a fixed price and cannot exceed the set price."
"Mrs. Xiao, do you want the same price in the capital? I'm afraid that's not appropriate. The manpower and material resources are not suitable."
"Of course I know. The capital is certainly not like our towns. The capital can only sell for four times this price. Any more is not possible. I believe that not everyone in the capital is rich."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Mr. Huang felt that Mrs. Xiao was really a weird person.
Who doesn't want to make money, who doesn't want to make a lot of money? But Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao are not like that. Without saying a word, they just look at his wife lovingly, as if they are afraid that someone else will steal her money.
However, Huang Yuanliang thought that this kind of weirdo was quite good.
Businessmen pay the most attention to interests, and are also afraid of being stabbed in the back by two-faced people. It is rare to find such a genuine woman. If you cooperate with such a person, you don’t have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
