"These are the trends." Although he didn't know how these strange colors had become popular, in his opinion, they were really ugly.
"What is 'popular'?" Ya'er asked curiously. She had never heard the word "popular" before.
"This so-called trend is... well, I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but it's just that a lot of people like it." Asking him to explain it is something he can't do in a short time.
Ning Hong then took out another small box from her sleeve. Inside the box was a light pink lip rouge, which looked delightful.
"Wow, this is so beautiful." No woman could resist this shade of pink.
Ya'er couldn't help but take it over for a closer look. She thought this box of lip rouge was even prettier than the one she had given to her mistress before.
"Young lady, this is for you. I hope you can do me a favor?"
"What? You're giving this to me?" Such beautiful lipstick is being given to her? "No, no way. I can't take advantage of you. Besides, I can't help you with anything."
Ya'er refused repeatedly.
She was just a servant girl; how could she possibly be of any help? If she offended her master, she wouldn't even know how she died. No matter how much she liked the rouge, she couldn't risk her life.
"Young lady, it's just a small favor, nothing much you need to do."
"Where can you find such a good deal? Such a small favor, and you give me such a beautiful lipstick?" Ya'er shook her head again. "It really is a small favor." Ning Hong then placed the lipstick into Ya'er's hand again. "Why don't you let me finish before you decide, Miss?"
“This…” That makes some sense. Ya’er looked at the lip rouge in her hand with reluctance. “Then tell me, I will not do anything that could harm my young lady.”
“It certainly wouldn’t have hurt your young lady.” Seeing that Ya’er agreed, Ning Hong’s eyes lit up. “I have a younger sister, who is ten years old this year. A while ago, without my knowledge, she was sold by my uncle.”
"And then? Were you sold to the Fang family?"
If it's just about asking her to inquire about his sister, that's really a small matter.
Upon hearing this, the girl put the lip rouge into her purse.
Seeing Ya'er's actions, Ning Hong was secretly delighted; it seemed there was hope.
"No, it wasn't sold to the Fang family, but my sister is indeed at the manor right now."
She wasn't sold to the Fang family, but she was definitely in the manor, and she was still a ten-year-old girl. "Could she be the one my young master brought back from the brothel?"
"Does the young lady know her name?"
"What was her name again, Nuomi? Young Master always calls her Nuomi?"
"That's right, it's her. She's my sister. I wonder how to redeem a maid in this household?"
"I'm not too sure about that either, but the maids in the mansion are all managed by the madam. If you want to buy your sister back, you'll need to go through the steward and have him inform the madam first."
"I see, then thank you very much, Miss Ya'er."
Ning Hong was an outsider, so the maid didn't dare to actually lead him into the inner courtyard.
She told Ning Hong to wait in the outer courtyard while she went to inform her young mistress.
Upon hearing that Ning Hong was waiting in the outer courtyard, Fang Zhilan immediately smiled.
“He’s a real lifesaver. He appeared the moment I needed him. Go and tell Miss Biao to come along too. Otherwise, if I meet this man alone, I don’t know what she’ll say about me.”
"Yes, this servant will go right away."
Ning Hong rummaged through the mall looking for free lipsticks, preferably ones without labels or brands. In his memory, the female protagonist here was a time-traveler. If the lipsticks he took out had labels indicating they were from the year 2010, his disguise would probably be exposed immediately.
Losing it isn't a big deal; at most, it'll just be a chance to meet someone from the same hometown. What he's worried about is that the time-traveling woman will realize he's a natural-born businessman.
After all, owning a lipstick like this in ancient times was not an easy thing.
Of course, he can temporarily claim that he brought it back from overseas.
In his memory, it was only after the time-traveling woman became a princess that she invented the tube lipstick to help the Sixth Prince amass wealth. Of course, the lower part of the lipstick was made of bamboo, and it was exquisitely crafted. Because of its rich color and sufficient shine, it became a sensation throughout the capital, bringing the Sixth Prince a great fortune.
After searching around, he pulled out four boxes of lipsticks.
It remains small and exquisite. However, the color has changed.
Not only does it have bright red, but also the light pink, fuchsia, and light purple that I gave to Ya'er before.
In less than half an incense stick's time, several women strode over. The one in the lead was a middle-aged woman who looked to be around thirty years old. This woman had a similar appearance to the previous Miss Fang, rather plain.
Fang Zhilan was to the left of this woman, while on the other side was a beautiful young woman.
However, the girl's appearance was somewhat similar to the female protagonist in his memory.
Although not completely identical, they are at least 70% similar.
“Mother, over here.” Fang Zhilan helped Fang Liangshi up. “I bought the sperm and lip rouge from this shop owner.”
"Auntie, I saw my cousin's lip rouge before, it was so pretty, but unfortunately, my cousin wouldn't give it to me."
"I only have this one, so naturally I'm reluctant to part with it. That's why I had my maid call the owner over; I think he should have some more."
"Hmph, you just don't want to give it to me."
Fang Zhilan: "???????" Yes, she didn't want to give it to her at all.
If I could, I wouldn't buy it for her right now. Who does she think she is? She's not even a member of the Fang family. She's just a girl from the Liang family, bossing people around in her house.
But her mother... sigh.
Fang Zhilan sighed in frustration.
"Boss, do you have any lip rouge? I'll buy it with money."
“These lip rouges are not for sale,” Ning Hong said, shaking her head.
"What?"
"If you're not selling lip rouge, what are you doing here trying to sell it?"
Liang Yuxue felt baffled.
This person is really strange. He came to the Fang residence to sell things, but then refused to sell. Are there really people in this world who don't care about making money?
"If you're not going to sell, then please leave."
Fang Liangshi was not an unreasonable person, but she didn't understand what this vendor wanted to do.
Are they selling something?
It doesn't seem so?
If they were just trying to sell something, they would have already convinced them to buy it.
Moreover, this person's gaze was fixed intently on her, making her feel somewhat flustered.
"What are you doing?!"
“Madam, I have a favor to ask of you. Of course, if you are willing, I will offer you these lip rouges with both hands.”
