While waiting for Li Yong to return, Tian Yu was busy personally going to Yanyu Tower to check the results. When Tian Yu appeared at Yanyu Tower dressed as a man, the girls immediately rushed up to him, feeding him and asking him one after another what new items he had.
Tian Yu said loudly, "Wait, I came here today to ask everyone how the rouge and face powder we used last time went."
"It's much better than what I bought at that brothel," said the girl in the red dress.
"If anyone has any suggestions, please let us know. We can make further improvements."
"The moisturizing product I use works really well; my customers all say I look much more radiant lately," said the woman in the green dress.
"The spot-fading product I used wasn't very effective, but it was alright," said the woman in the purple dress.
"It takes time to fade dark spots, so you need to keep using it," Tian Yu said with a smile.
"The whitening effect is okay, but not ideal. Is there a formula that can make a person whiter instantly?" said the woman with a thick layer of foundation on her face.
"White Peony, don't even think about it. You were born with dark skin, and you still want to become white?" The woman in red said with a smile, and everyone laughed along with her. White Peony stomped her foot in anger and turned away.
Tian Yu looked closely at the girl named Bai Mudan and indeed, apart from her face, the rest of her exposed skin was brown. Tian Yu walked up to Bai Mudan, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "I think your natural skin tone is quite good; you shouldn't obsessively pursue whiteness."
"But everyone prefers fair skin. I was born with dark skin. The previous madam didn't want me because she thought I was too dark and unattractive. Now that I've finally managed to stay here, I don't want to be kicked out again."
"No, we won't kick you out. Besides, I think whether you have dark or fair skin, you'll look good if your makeup is right and you have confidence. If you don't believe me, I'll redo your makeup and see."
"Really?"
"Yes, of course you have to trust me."
After Tian Yu finished speaking, she pulled Bai Mudan into the room. Tian Yu first looked Bai Mudan up and down, and then opened the box in front of her dressing table. It was full of perfume powder with a pungent smell. Tian Yu disdainfully fanned the perfume powder in the air.
"Young Master Tian, how is it?"
"Oh, wait a minute, I need something. You don't have it here, but I'll be right back." After saying that, Tian Yu hurriedly went out, pushed through the crowd, found Yu Niang, got what she wanted, and rushed back.
Tian Yu first wiped off all the white powder from Bai Mudan's face, then reapplied makeup to suit her. After finishing the makeup, she nodded in satisfaction. Bai Mudan had naturally brown skin, but her features were still very defined, and she would look beautiful with just a little touch-up.
"Does this look good?" Bai Mudan asked doubtfully, looking at her reflection in the bronze mirror.
"Don't worry, trust me, it would be even better if you changed your clothes again." Tian Yu said, walking to the wardrobe in Bai Mudan's room to find clothes, and picked out a brightly colored exotic dress to give to Bai Mudan.
"Young Master Tian, will this outfit be suitable? My skin is quite dark," Bai Mudan said, still lacking confidence.
"Don't worry, go change and try it on. I'll wait for you outside," Tian Yu encouraged again.
When Bai Mudan appeared in front of everyone after changing her clothes, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't speak. Bai Mudan thought she didn't look good and said disappointedly, "Maybe I should change back!"
“Peony, you look beautiful like this,” Yu Niang said first.
"But you..."
"They were stunned by how beautiful you are," Tian Yu said, looking at the crowd.
"Really?"
"Yes!" the girls nodded in agreement, while Bai Mudan remained skeptical.
Tian Yu encouraged, "Only when you have self-confidence can others see your beauty! If you don't even believe in yourself, others certainly won't believe in you!"
"Really? Can dark skin look good?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Bai Mudan instantly gained confidence. Then they all swarmed around Tian Yu, hoping she would help them with their makeovers as well. Tian Yu was surrounded by a group of beauties, and her coat was almost pulled off, but luckily Yu Niang intervened, saving Tian Yu from a close call.
Before leaving, Tian Yu wrote a song and choreographed a dance for Bai Mudan. Bai Mudan decided to change her name to Black Beauty. Because of Tian Yu's help, it is said that Black Beauty became the most popular person in the shop that very night because of her dance and unique outfit. The word spread throughout the place that there was a Black Beauty in Yanyu Tower.
After gathering information on product usage, Tian Yu left Yanyu Tower and went to Yuelai Restaurant. While checking on business, she also hoped to get some news from Manager Qian about the capital. She hadn't received any information from Yu Niang, so Tian Yu thought Manager Qian might know something. However, she couldn't find any useful information anywhere. Tian Yu was somewhat disappointed, but Li Yong was still avoiding her! Life had to go on, and at least they were safe for now.
Tian Yu bought an abandoned courtyard in the suburbs to use as a mill. As needed, Tian Yu also tested several kinds of cosmetic products such as powder and eyebrow pencil. The courtyard that she had previously entrusted to Zhao Jinxin for mine construction was also completed. Tian Yu simply turned it into a workshop to make perfumes and women's products.
The children sent from the village were all put to use by Tian Yu. Under the guidance of Gouzi and Shuang'er, each had their own tasks, and Tian Yu would individually train and teach several of the clever and quick-witted children the process of making spices. Fortunately, Qiuju and Lvliu had always been by Tian Yu's side, so they were also quite familiar with the process. With Li Xingyun's guidance as well, Tian Yu could occasionally take a break and go for a walk with Tangyuan. The days passed by like this, as if nothing had happened.
The furry creatures in the yard had long since disappeared. Tian Yu held Tangyuan's hand and said, "Tangyuan, Mommy has been quite busy lately and hasn't had much time to spend with you. Are you upset with Mommy?"
