Lin Qianyu was attracted by the phrase "able to win a man's heart".
Since learning that the Fourth Prince had contracted a strange illness, she hadn't visited him recently. She used the excuse that she was unwell and needed to rest, only sending him letters to inquire about his condition.
It seems like she can try using this lipstick to cast a wide net; she's confident she can catch a big fish again.
They sold dozens more lipsticks in one go, and not only Yu Zhizhi, but also He Yang and Xiao Tao were overjoyed.
With this motivation, they worked even harder to promote the lipsticks.
"The next lipstick I'm recommending is a rather unique witch-colored one. It's a dark purple and very selective in terms of who can pull it off, so please don't try it lightly."
After speaking, Yu Zhizhi pointed to her own lips and He Yang's lips next to her, as a comparison between a buyer's show and a seller's show.
"People who suit this witch-colored lipstick will appear powerful and charming; those who don't will look unwell, as if they've been poisoned, or even look like a frightening old hag."
He Yang, the "tool," curled his lip and glanced at Yu Zhizhi, who exuded a powerful aura.
Alright.
He was poisoned and looked terrifying; he was on the verge of death.
Upon hearing that Yu Zhizhi had set up a stall, Master Xuanzhen and Doctor Zhou immediately rushed over from Fuju Restaurant. They had originally come for the ice cream, but after learning that she was selling rouge and face powder this time, they were preparing to leave.
Seeing so many people watching them demonstrate different shades of lipstick, I found it quite novel and stopped to join in the fun.
Master Xuanzhen watched with great interest, especially when he saw the fat man in front of him wearing witch-colored lipstick. "Old Zhou, do you think I should buy one?"
Doctor Zhou thought he'd lost his mind and scoffed, "Why would you buy it?"
Master Xuanzhen smiled slyly: "When I'm telling fortunes, if I wear this witch's lipstick, people will mistakenly think I'm poisoned and about to die; seeing how hard I work at my age, they might give me extra money."
The doctor, Zhou, said he couldn't bear to look.
No Buddhist is as shameless as him.
In just half a day, news about Yu Zhizhi spread rapidly throughout the capital city once again.
The common people began to discuss it:
"Yu Zhizhi is definitely mentally ill, and quite seriously so! She actually went to set up a stall in that weird place, Xu's Wine Shop."
"The locations she chooses for her stalls are always so bizarre, it's really incomprehensible."
"I heard that Yu Zhizhi is no longer selling food this time, but has switched to selling cosmetics."
"The lipsticks that Yu Zhizhi sells seem to be quite special, and there are quite a lot of colors."
The women, in particular, were captivated by the unique lipstick shades like "Madam's Red" and "Man-Slaying Red," and flocked to Jinghe Street.
As soon as the hour of Shen (3-5 PM) arrived, the stalls instantly became bustling with activity.
Just then, a woman with a cool and aloof demeanor slowly walked towards the stall. Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but exclaim, "Girl, you're really something!"
It's quite rare that she wasn't afraid of evil spirits and dared to boldly walk up to the stall.
Liu Xuanyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, "I was just standing at the door, and I didn't even go into Xu's Wine Shop, so it's not really anything strange."
"As for being afraid, that's even less of a question. Sometimes, people are much scarier than ghosts."
Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but secretly admire her; this woman was truly amazing!
Just as she was secretly guessing the woman's identity, a few whispered murmurs suddenly came from not far away:
"Isn't this the legendary female tutor who supposedly caused the deaths of her parents?"
"It's her. No wonder she's not afraid of evil."
Upon hearing these words, Yu Zhizhi was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood the deeper meaning behind her earlier statement, "Humans are more terrifying than ghosts."
At this moment, Liu Xuanyi spoke up, "Could you help me choose a shade that suits me?"
Yu Zhizhi grinned and replied enthusiastically, "Of course. Would you mind if I applied it directly for you?"
Liu Xuanyi nodded without hesitation and said readily, "Do whatever you like."
Yu Zhizhi really liked her straightforward personality, so she put more effort into applying lipstick to her. "The shade I'm applying for you is cool tea color, which is a perfect match for your cool and aloof temperament."
Standing to the side, Xiao Tao couldn't help but praise, "Wow! Miss is right. After this girl put on this cool tea-colored lipstick, her cool temperament is even more obvious, and she is even more charming."
Yu Zhizhi nodded in agreement: "It definitely has a sophisticated and aloof feel, it looks great."
Although Liu Xuanyi couldn't see what she looked like after applying lipstick, she was overjoyed to hear the two women and other onlookers praising her.
"I'll take this cool-brown lipstick."
Yu Zhizhi had a good impression of this girl. Since arriving in ancient times, she had not made many friends, and her only female friend was Xiao Tao.
She wanted to become friends with this woman with a cool and aloof demeanor.
"Girl, I really like your personality. Would you like to be my friend?"
After speaking, Yu Zhizhi looked directly at her with a sincere expression.
"My name is Liu Xuanyi. I like your personality too."
Seeing her extend her hand, Yu Zhizhi smiled knowingly and immediately reached out her right hand to grasp it tightly. "My name is Yu Zhizhi, or you can call me Yun Zhizhi."
“I know. Our reputations in the capital are well-known; it’s hard not to know us.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
With Liu Xuanyi joining, they quickly sold over a hundred more lipsticks.
After all, Liu Xuanyi and Yu Zhizhi are not only outstanding in appearance, but also have a unique temperament. Everyone is attracted to them and comes to buy lipsticks.
After a courtesan bought a lipstick, she brought several of her girlfriends to patronize the establishment.
"Boss, your grapefruit-colored lipstick makes my skin look even whiter. My friends all praised my fresh and natural makeup. This lipstick is much better looking than the lip gloss I usually use. The previous one made me look too old and it faded easily."
"Also, this rose essential oil not only has a rich fragrance, but it also makes my skin feel much more moisturized and refreshed after application. Everything you sell here is great, except for the poor location you've chosen for your stall. Let me recommend a better spot: how about setting up your stall in front of our brothel?"
Yu Zhizhi was testing camellia essential oil on someone when she heard this and paused for a moment.
No wonder they were all dressed up so beautifully, like peacocks spreading their tails; they were prostitutes.
If she were to set up a stall outside a brothel selling cosmetics, she believed she could easily seduce all the women inside, and even the madam.
But their location and the poorly chosen stall locations by the lousy system didn't seem to be any better.
Yu Zhizhi smiled without saying a word and continued working on her tasks, offering no response.
However, the teammate beside him was not very reliable.
