Buddha-like Mrs. Lin
Chapter 28
On the second floor of the Caizhuang Pavilion, Jia Gu was busy receiving the noble ladies who came to buy rouge. The smile on her face was so bright that it could blind people.
Jia Zhi sat in the corner by the window, but a trace of ridicule flashed through her eyes.
She knew why her eldest sister was acting like this today, but she couldn't agree with her at all.
All the changes started when they found their third sister and confirmed that there were no loopholes in the preparation for opening the shop.
In order to promote the rouge and face powder in the shop, she and Jia Gu personally took part in it. They changed their previous style and attended all kinds of banquets held by the noble ladies every day. They also followed Jia Su's advice. Not only did they let the maidservants use the rouge and face powder in the shop, but they also changed the rouge and face powder they used to the ones that were going to be sold in their own shop.
The effect was very good at the beginning. First, it was novel. Second, the rouge and face powder looked really good after makeup.
Many of the noble ladies who didn't have outstanding looks were even outshone by the maidservants of the two of them, which angered some people.
However, they later found out that it was all because of the rouge and face powder. They weren't happy, but they couldn't help but privately visit them, wanting to ask them for some rouge and face powder.
There were only a few famous rouge shops in the capital. Which noble ladies like them didn't have a close relationship with them?
They didn't even need to ask to know that the rouge and face powder used by Jia Zhi and Jia Zhi were not bought from outside shops. However, they didn't think that the two of them wanted to open a shop. They only thought that they had a maidservant who was good at making rouge and face powder or that they got some secret recipe from somewhere.
Because Jia Su didn't tell them how to deal with such a situation, Jia Zhi thought about it and simply gave each of them a box according to their skin color.
Then, at the next banquet, as expected, these madams all seemed to have changed their appearances. Their previous mediocre and inconspicuous appearances were swept away. Among a group of glamorous women, they were able to attract some attention.
These changes naturally caused a stir within a certain range.
Jia Gu saw this and followed suit.
But in the end, the reason why the Color Makeup Pavilion was so popular was because of her.
Ever since she started using different methods to use the rouge and face powder from the Color Makeup Pavilion, her husband, the Marquis of Jin Yang, for some reason, gradually began to pay attention to her. There was even a time when she returned home late from a banquet, and he personally rode a carriage to the family holding the banquet to pick her up.
This had never happened before.
Not to mention that the Marquis of Jinyang had always been famous in the capital for being deeply in love with his first wife, the news about her as a second wife was not very good.
Even those who were rumored to be in love and harmony with the couple had never seen the husband lowering himself to personally receive someone.
These women were trapped in the backyard every day. As long as their husbands were clear-headed and didn't favor their concubines and neglect their wives, most of them would spend most of their energy fighting for favor in the backyard.
And Jia Su had given them the best example.
At this time, if the news that the Caizhuang Pavilion was about to open for business was revealed, how many women would be able to resist?
Even Jia Gu, who was initially resistant to the rouge and face powder from the Color Makeup Pavilion, had a much more positive attitude after seeing this.
And the reason why she was so happy today was because her husband, who had never paid attention to her, finally noticed her when they met this morning. Not only did he praise her beauty, but he also seemed to have finally remembered that she had a miscarriage a month ago. He said a few words of concern and promised to rest at her place for the next few days.
Jia Gu's thoughts were similar to those of the other noblewomen, so after her husband gave her the signal to "reconcile," she naturally felt happy.
She even trusted Jia Zhi and Jia Su more and more.
However, Jia Zhi only felt that it was ridiculous. What happened recently was just a man's lustful nature.
After a period of time, those concubines, who were originally good at using their looks, would also start to use the rouge from the Color Makeup Pavilion. Those men would still revert to their old ways.
Of course, this was good for the business of the Color Makeup Pavilion, but it was hard for her to be happy when she saw her elder sister indulging in such an illusion.
Unfortunately, Jia Gu was now in high spirits, so these words were in vain.
The carriages moved forward one by one. After about an hour, Jia Su and Mother Lin's carriage finally arrived in front of the Color Makeup Pavilion.
Jia Zhi looked out of the window and happened to see Jia Su's carriage.
Before she got married, she had been out of the house a few times, so she naturally recognized that this carriage came from Rongguo Province.
And now, Jia Su was the only person who would ride a carriage of this standard.
Jia Zhi said goodbye to Jia Gu and said no to the other guests, then quickly went downstairs to pick up Jia Su.
But when she went downstairs, her gaze was immediately attracted by the old lady beside Jia Su, who had an extraordinary temperament.
She walked forward and looked at Jia Su in confusion, "Third younger sister, who is this lady?"
Jia Su hurriedly introduced her, "This is the Marchioness of Wen 'an."
Jia Zhi immediately realized Mother Lin's identity and her attitude became much more respectful. She quickly led her to the VIP room on the second floor.
-
After a period of time, the Color Makeup Pavilion's business was on the right track. Although it wasn't as popular as it was at the beginning, the daily flow of customers was still very impressive.
It wasn't that no one had any ideas about the Color Makeup Pavilion, but when they found out that this small rouge shop was backed by the four influential families of Rongguo Province, the Xiu Family, the Marquis' Household, and the Count of Wen 'an's Household, they all gave up on this idea.
Because of this, Jia Su was completely idle. She only waited to lie in her room and collect small amounts of money every day.
But today was a little different.
Not long after breakfast, Cui Yan ran into the room from outside the courtyard. His bangs were wet with sweat, and he didn't have the slightest bit of image.
Chi Xia hurriedly stopped him, "Cui Yan, stop!
Being so impetuous in front of Miss, are you itching for a beating? "
Cui Yan hurriedly stopped and stood by the door, but her eyes were still astonishingly bright, "Miss, someone from the Lin family has come!"
Jia Su didn't react for a moment, "Why did someone from the Lin family come?"
Cui Yan cried out in alarm, "Miss, there are six rites for the engagement!"
Although the Jia family and the Lin family already had a verbal agreement, the engagement could be overturned at any time without the three letters and six rites, even if everyone knew about it.
Previously, when the Lin family's joyous occasion fell on Jia Su's head, Cui Yan had always felt that it was unreal. Several months had passed, and the six rites still hadn't been carried out, so she always felt that the engagement might be ruined.
But her Miss's flowering period had already been delayed. How would she get married in the future?
Moreover, she didn't want her Miss to lose Tanhua Lin's engagement.
But she only dared to ponder these little thoughts in her heart. She didn't dare to let anyone else know.
Now, the two families had finally begun the formal engagement process. How could she not be happy?
Not to mention Cui Yan, even Chi Xia, who had always been calm and unflustered, had a bit of a blush on her face.
It was obvious that this news made more than one person happy.
