While Hu Changan's shop was being renovated, it was time for the oiran parade held once a month.
This time, Cuicui from Zuiyue Tower became the oiran without any doubt.
And Hu Changan was also enthusiastically invited by the Madam of Zuiyue Tower to come and watch.
The position that the madam left for Hu Changan was a prime location, and even money might not be able to buy it.
On the left is the prince of the Hou family, and on the right is the son of a wealthy businessman.
Celebrities from all walks of life gather here.
While sipping tea, Hu Changan quietly waited for the Oiran parade to begin.
Suddenly, people on the street burst into cheers.
It's the courtesan's car coming!
Turning the corner, a colorful float came into view.
Cuicui was riding in an open carriage.
Two tall horses pulled the cart forward slowly.
The car was surrounded by many carefully arranged flowers and artificial flowers, which looked extraordinary.
And Cuicui stood among the flowers, waving to everyone.
Today's Cuicui is more gorgeously dressed than when Hu Changan saw her that day.
The bright red skirt, paired with the accessories of the same color on the head, looks stunning.
Of course, Cuicui also applied Hu Changan's lipstick as promised.
Set against the bright lipstick, her emerald face looks even more delicate and enchanting.
Passers-by couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this.
Even the romantic scholar sitting next to Hu Changan couldn't help but sigh: "I think this month's oiran seems to be much prettier than the one selected last month."
"Last month's oiran was innocent, this month's oiran is enchanting. This green beauty makes my heart itch. I must pay a visit tomorrow."
The scholar's romantic words also attracted good-natured ridicule from everyone.
However, in addition to ridicule, some people also made a more profound analysis of Cuicui's dress: "I think the rouge color of the oiran today is really bright."
"I have been in the entertainment industry for many years, and I have never seen such a special color of rouge. This rouge will definitely enhance the appearance of the oiran."
Ancient literati have always had the habit of criticizing women in brothels.
In the Ming Dynasty, this was an expression of elegance.
His words immediately received unanimous approval from everyone.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on its saddle.
Good makeup will definitely improve a person's complexion.
Maybe she just looks like a middle-aged person originally, but if she is carefully dressed up, her appearance will definitely rank among the upper class.
This is one of the reasons why almost all women are keen on wearing makeup.
Not only these benefactors who had been hanging around the entertainment venue all year round, others also noticed the bright lipstick on Cuicui's face.
Seeing Cuicui's exquisite appearance today, the people watching on the street couldn't help but whisper.
"Hey, this month's Oiran is so beautiful, especially the rouge, the color is absolutely gorgeous, I want to buy the same style too!"
"That's right, the first thing I noticed was this rouge. If I also put on this same rouge, I would definitely be as beautiful as the Oiran!"
"This rouge is so beautiful, I want to buy it for my mother-in-law too!"
Such discussions are still taking place in many places.
The oiran parade has not yet ended, and everyone has become extremely interested in the rouge Cuicui applied today.
Even the sisters in the brothel are not exempt from vulgarity.
Parading is not just about the Oiran parading alone.
Behind Cuicui, there was a row of beauties.
Although they are not as good as Cuicui in appearance and popularity, these girls are the most outstanding girls in each building.
The Oiran parade is not only the highlight moment of the Oiran, but also an excellent opportunity for them to show themselves.
Everyone is trying their best to show themselves off.
After the parade, everyone will gather in the square for a talent show.
In the middle of the parade and talent show, the girls will have some rest time.
As soon as Cuicui sat down, she was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic sisters.
"Cui Cui, my good sister, tell me quickly where you bought this rouge. The color is so pretty!"
"That's right, this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful color of rouge! Cuicui, please stop being so secretive and tell us!"
However, Cuicui smiled slightly: "Everyone, don't worry, you will know where this rouge was bought soon."
With that said, Cuicui walked into the inner room, leaving the sisters alone with long sighs.
Finally, it’s time for the talent show!
However, the first person to take the stage was the Madam of Zuiyue Tower.
The madam walked onto the stage holding up her skirt and said with a smile: "Everyone, is the Cuicui in our house just now beautiful?"
"Beautiful!" everyone replied in unison.
This is definitely what they say from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing this, the old bustard also smiled slightly and said, "Then do you want to know what brand of rouge Cuicui is wearing?"
Suddenly, everyone became energetic.
The same cosmetics as Oiran, everyone wants to know what they are.
At this time, Hu Changan also followed the previous process and stepped onto the high platform: "Everyone, the rouge Cuicui applied today was produced by Hu's Grocery Store under my name."
With that said, Hu Changan took out a lipstick from his arms and showed it to everyone: "This is the secret of the oiran's beauty!"
"Next week, all Hu's grocery stores will have the same rouge for Oiran on sale at the same time. Remember to buy it then!"
This is very similar to the slogan of later TV shopping channels.
However, in later generations, various sales methods have emerged one after another, and everyone has become numb to this kind of talk.
In Daming, this was still a new thing.
Seeing the small and exquisite lipstick in Hu Changan's hand, everyone suddenly became excited.
This is the same rouge as the oiran. If you put it on, you won't be as beautiful as the oiran!
Go ahead and buy it!
Looking at the fiery eyes of everyone in the audience, Hu Changan smiled slightly.
This wave is done.
Next, let’s wait for the lipstick to be available online at Hu’s Grocery Store!
...
A week later, there were long queues at the entrance of all Hu's grocery stores in Yingtian City.
Many of those waiting in line were young women.
As a woman, she is naturally the most concerned about changes in makeup.
When they heard that the most beautiful courtesans in Yingtian City were using rouge produced by Hu's Grocery Store, everyone was excited.
They all saw the way the oiran put on rouge before.
That gorgeous energy is simply beautiful!
Everyone wants to be as beautiful as the courtesan!
Among them, there are also some servants and guards from high-ranking families.
They were all sent by their wives to buy rouge.
Who wouldn’t want such a beautiful rouge?
Everyone was waiting at the door of Hu's grocery store with great expectations, waiting to be among the first people to buy rouge.
