Upon hearing Mengyao's words, Zhou Jie immediately became furious:
"Is Xue'er unable to afford clothes? Does she want to wear what I don't want? Besides, have you even looked at the workmanship of this dress? It was handmade by Sister Zhen herself, worth several hundred taels of silver. You're going to give it away without even wearing it?"
"Who's going to give away what I made?"
A sweet, charming voice rang out, "Sister Zhen is here."
They all know each other, so Sister Zhen naturally wouldn't miss today's event.
Upon seeing Han Luoxue, her eyes revealed undisguised amazement:
"Xue'er, you're getting more and more beautiful. This dress is the perfect size, and the elastic waist design you mentioned is just perfect."
Sister Zhen circled around Han Luoxue with admiration, but considering that Han Luoxue hadn't announced her pregnancy, she didn't say anything more.
With this elastic waist design, how many more months can Han Luoxue wear this dress?
This outfit has a nice name, it's called... maternity wear.
Sister Zhen was stunned. Did women even wear special clothes for pregnancy? And they were so beautiful.
Sister Zhen's words were like a slap across Mengyao's face, stinging painfully.
Mengyao's expression changed repeatedly, and everyone unconsciously looked away, feeling embarrassed for her.
However, Mengyao reacted quickly; she still had a smile on her face, though upon closer inspection, it looked somewhat forced.
"Really? I thought it was something Zhou Jie didn't want to wear anymore and gave to Miss Han."
"After all, Miss Han is just a village girl, and the price of this dress is obviously..."
Zhou Jie was so angry she wanted to slap Meng Yao twice. What did this woman mean? Was she implying that Han Luoxue's clothes were of dubious origin?
"Your Highness is overthinking it. This dress was custom-made by Xue'er. She made three sets, and I'm currently working on them. However, Xue'er looks so good in it, which is good publicity for me. I've decided to give those three sets to her for free."
Wow, after hearing this, many people were filled with envy.
The clothes at Lingxiu Pavilion aren't cheap either, and those made by Sister Zhen herself are even more valuable.
Three sets of clothes would cost at least a thousand taels of silver, and Sister Zhen just gave them away like that?
Sister Zhen is so generous. This Miss Han is really lucky.
“Sister Zhen, I’m so happy to hear you say that, but it’s not easy for you to run a business. Just give it to me, I’m not short of money anyway.”
"Haha, right, Xue'er isn't short of money either. Alright, let's not talk about these messy things for now, let's get down to business today."
Zhou Jie cleared her throat, clapped her hands, and Du Linlang walked forward with Liu Xu.
"This is one of our maids. You can see her face and skin. In a little while, Sister Xue'er will use our first researched product to take care of her facial skin. You can compare the results."
When Zhou Jie mentioned this, everyone's eyes widened with curiosity. They hadn't come here for a meal; they wanted to see if the thing the Zhou family claimed could make people more beautiful actually worked.
Du Linlang led Liu Xu around in front of everyone. Some of the ladies were curious and even touched Liu Xu's face to make sure that the spots were real and that her face was really dark, without any random stuff on it, before they were relieved.
"Alright, I'm going to get started now."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhou Jie looked at Han Luoxue and nodded slightly.
Han Luoxue smiled, first took out a face cream for cleansing the skin from the wooden box on the table, scooped out a piece and put it in her palm, added some water and rubbed it to make small bubbles, and then helped the little girl wash her face.
"After it foams, it can better clean every corner of our face," Han Luoxue explained as she did so.
The little girl was so frightened she didn't dare move. She knew this was a good thing and was mentally prepared, but suddenly facing so many people, as an ordinary cleaning girl, she was still a little nervous.
I've never met so many important people in my entire life.
"take it easy."
Han Luoxue's voice was gentle and soft, and the previously uneasy Liu Xu miraculously calmed down.
Han Luoxue applied skincare products to Liu Xu using a process that everyone in modern times is extremely familiar with, but people in ancient times had never seen anything like it.
Does washing your face really have to be this complicated?
A noblewoman asked, puzzled.
"I just wipe it off."
"Yeah, does it feel comfortable to wash your face like that?"
"What is this? It's a thick layer, and the color is so weird."
"This is a face mask."
Zhou Jie used it, and she explained it to everyone:
"It can moisturize our face. Look how hydrated my face is. I usually do a face mask every four or five days."
"By the way, you've seen me before, right? My face wasn't this good-looking back then."
Many people know Zhou Jie, and after a moment's thought, they realize that the Zhou Jie of the past was indeed not like this.
With Zhou Jie as a living example, the crowd's eyes burned with even more fervor.
Now that there's an existing one, they want to see how effective it is.
This skincare routine doesn't actually take too long; it's all done in less than half an hour.
Han Luoxue also shaped the little girl's eyebrows and applied a very natural and elegant makeup.
She thought everyone would be shocked, but the scene was eerily quiet.
Han Luoxue looked over in surprise, only to see everyone staring at Liu Xu in disbelief.
"Am I... am I ugly?"
Liu Xu felt uneasy under Han Luoxue's gaze, but Han Luoxue handed her a small mirror from the side.
"Is... this really me?"
Liu Xu couldn't believe it; when did her face become so beautiful?
Moreover, my eyebrows used to be messy and shapeless, but now they are...
"This...is really amazing."
"Can my face become like that?"
"It feels like a dream."
Several ladies stared at Liu Xu in disbelief. Although they had been watching the whole time, it still felt unreal.
"How about this, let's choose three more people to try it together?"
Han Luoxue wasn't angry; it was normal for them not to believe it since it was their first meeting.
"I will teach your girls skincare techniques; it's very simple."
As soon as these words were spoken, many ladies couldn't help but speak out.
Han Luoxue casually picked three, and their personal maids followed her forward.
Han Luoxue patiently provided guidance, and those maids, who were used to serving closely, quickly got the hang of it.
...
"This thing is amazing."
Many people want to buy it, but Zhou Jie said the store is not finished yet. Once it opens, it will be available for sale, and there will also be a special skincare area.
She had her maid count the people who wanted it, and planned to give them some as soon as the store opened.
As for the price, these people are all in charge, do they need money?
Mengyao was also tempted, but remembering the unpleasantness she had just had with Zhou Jie and the others, she was too embarrassed to go forward.
Madam Meng's eyes reddened as she watched Zhou Jie order dozens of sets in the blink of an eye.
