Chapter 589 The Daughter of the Red Mansion's Madam 4
Rose standing by the door
"Are you ready? I'm going to open the door."
Everyone said in unison
"open"
Rose opened the door, and without waiting for Boss Chen and the servant outside to react, Peony poured out a basin of water.
"Oh! Who is this? Standing in front of someone else's house so early in the morning. I'm sorry! I didn't see you and splashed water on you."
Boss Chen gritted his teeth
"I'm telling you, no one will buy this Yuanyang Building except me. If you don't sell it to me, you'll starve to death!"
This is the first time Du Juan is so tough
"We'd rather starve to death than sell it to you, so get out of here!"
Boss Chen was furious and immediately asked the servant to go in with him. He thought the group of women would be afraid, but he didn't expect them to hit him and the servant with their weapons. In the end, he didn't know who kicked him and the servant out of the door.
Boss Chen cried out "ouch ouch"
"I'm telling you, I don't even want the 800 taels for this Yuanyang Building. Just wait to starve to death!"
The 14 women looked ferocious, and the only calm one was Zhang Xintong standing in the middle.
There was a group of people gathered outside Yuanyang Building. Boss Chen felt embarrassed, but suddenly he saw Zhang Xintong among the 14 women. Her eyes were so beautiful. Although he didn't see her whole face, it must be pretty.
It turned out that there was a new girl. No wonder these old women were so bad-tempered. Boss Chen cursed in a dirty way.
"So you have a new girl, and you're trying to sell her out. What a bunch of dirty, lowly people."
Boss Chen's words deeply hurt the girls' hearts. Although they didn't want to sell themselves, the fact was that, no matter whether they were willing or not.
The rolling pin in Zhang Xintong's hand flew out and accurately flew into Boss Chen's mouth, blocking his mouth tightly.
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, it only spews feces."
Boss Chen was terrified. The rolling pin in his mouth told him that the woman could kill him in one blow. This time he was really scared. It was too scary.
Boss Chen pulled the rolling pin out of his mouth, and with the help of the servant, he ran away without looking back.
Seeing so many people at the door, Zhang Xintong did not miss the opportunity to promote herself.
"Dear neighbors, our Yuanyang Lou will reopen in a month and will only serve women. We welcome all ladies to visit our shop. We promise that every one of you will be as beautiful as a fairy. If you fail to do so, we are willing to compensate you with 100 taels."
100 taels is just a gimmick. With this hook, people will come. Once people come, there will be no worries about not being able to sell things.
Just as people outside were talking, Zhang Xintong asked Du Juan and the girls to close the door and go back into the building.
Du Juan was a little anxious when she heard 100 taels.
"Tongtong, if each person pays 100 taels, we..."
Zhang Xintong knew what she was worried about
"Mother, you and your aunts should wash your faces first. Don't put on makeup. I will put it on for you later."
The azalea was pulled away by the peony
"Sister Dujuan, we will listen to Tongtong."
Everyone went to wash their faces, and Zhang Xintong went back upstairs to get a full set of makeup products. She was going to show off her skills. She had always done her own makeup, so this time she was going to do someone else's makeup, and she wanted to have a good time.
The first one Zhang Xintong tried was the peony. Based on the characteristics of the face shape, she magnified the advantages and hid the disadvantages very well, playing to the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses. When the painting was finished, everyone gasped.
Peony didn't know what she looked like, and seeing everyone's surprised looks, she thought she was ugly. But when she took a look in the bronze mirror, she was so beautiful, even more beautiful than when she was 20 years old.
"Tongtong, you are so amazing. I want this face every day from now on. Can you keep drawing it for me?"
Zhang Xintong shook her head
"Aunt Mudan, that won't do! I'm very tired of painting for you every day."
Mudan anxiously grabbed Zhang Xintong
"Tongtong, just draw it for me! After seeing this face, I can't bear to look at my previous face anymore."
Zhang Xintong thought Mudan was really cute and stopped teasing her.
"Aunt Mudan, although I can't paint for you, I can teach you the art of makeup and give you a set of cosmetics like this so you can paint yourself."
Peony opened her eyes wide in surprise
"really?"
"real"
Peony is so happy
With the beginning of Peony, the rest went much more smoothly. Zhang Xintong applied suitable makeup to each person, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they had a complete makeover.
Dujuan stared at herself in the bronze mirror. She was so beautiful, even more beautiful than when she was a top courtesan.
Everyone gathered around Zhang Xintong, pointing to the makeup box filled with cosmetics and saying:
"Tongtong, you can't favor one over the other. We also want to learn, and we also want these things."
"Everyone has it. I'll teach you everything, don't worry! And you haven't done any maintenance yet. After a while of maintenance, you will be more beautiful than now."
No matter how old you are, everyone loves beauty.
"really?"
"Really? From now on, we'll be selling these things in our store. You only need to serve women and you can hold your head high and live life as a man."
The atmosphere was originally cheerful, but suddenly everyone started crying, which scared Zhang Xintong. The most helpless thing she could do was to comfort the sad and crying people.
Dujuan saw that she was at a loss and patted her soothingly.
"It's okay, let them cry! It will be fine after they cry."
After everyone had cried enough, they pestered Zhang Xintong to study. Zhang Xintong had no choice but to turn the day into a large-scale teaching scene.
After teaching all day, Zhang Xintong practiced for two hours that night and then went to sleep. She hadn't slept last night and was really sleepy.
The next morning, Zhang Xintong went to Dujuan's house first and gave her the drawn decoration drawings.
"Mother, these are the decoration drawings given by the boss. The boss will deliver these cabinets, and we will find someone to decorate the rest ourselves."
"The boss is here? He's coming in the evening?"
"Well, he can only come out at night. Don't worry, mother! He didn't do anything to me. He acted out of affection but within the bounds of propriety."
Seeing her daughter wasn't lying, she looked at the blueprints. Du Juan was both the madam and the owner of Yuanyang Lou, and she had good social skills. She bought many of the items in the building, and she could find the materials needed for the blueprints.
Zhang Xintong handed Du Juan two silver notes worth one thousand taels, and she kept the two notes.
"Mother, this is a gift from the boss. He told you not to save it and decorate it better. If it's not enough, he will give you more."
"Okay, I get it"
"Mother, the owner of the first floor lobby sent 14 sets of makeup boxes, the same ones I used yesterday, filled with a full set of cosmetics. You and your aunts will each have one set later."
"Tongtong, did you learn this makeup technique from the boss?"
"Yes, he taught me."
Du Juan didn't know why, but she had a bad feeling.
"Tongtong, do you like the Dong family?"
The boss behind the scenes, Zhang Xintong, wants to put pressure on him, to be honest
"Well, I like the Dong family."
