The general's wife opened her eyes, and the maid immediately came over with a mirror.
"Madam, you are so beautiful!" the maid said in amazement.
General Biaoqi's wife looked at the mirror for a long time, couldn't help but marvel, and touched her cheek. Since she married General Biaoqi, she has been exposed to wind and sun a lot when she went to visit her husband. Her complexion is dark yellow, and she looks...
People of the same age are more than ten years older.
But now, her complexion is fair and translucent, and her eyes are much enlarged, as if she is a different person.
"Princess Xiao, what kind of cosmetics did you use? Why have I never seen it before?"
A large box of colorful and various small brushes is dazzling to see.
"Hey, isn't this the wife of the general escort? Why does it look like she's a different person?"
There was an exclamation from behind, and Mrs. Li opened her mouth exaggeratedly, looking around her face several times, not missing a single corner.
The general's wife covered her mouth and smiled: "It's all because of Princess Xiao's superb skills."
Mrs. Li and General Biaoqi's wife were acquainted with each other. They both loved to listen to opera and would invite each other to listen to it every once in a while.
She is also the wife of a military commander, and her husband-in-law is in charge of public security in the capital.
"Thank you, madam. I was just wondering about it when I had nothing to do."
Chu Yunning smiled modestly. Mrs. Li was also curious about the makeup box and said, "Princess Xiao is really amazing. I have known her for many years, but I have never seen her so beautiful before."
Mrs. Biaoqi glanced at Mrs. Li angrily: "If you can believe it, go and ask Princess Xiao to make one for you."
"How can you be so embarrassed?" Mrs. Li covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking sorry.
"As long as Mrs. Li can be trusted."
Mrs. Li waved her hand: "Princess Xiao is out of touch when she says this. In this case, it will trouble Princess Xiao."
Chu Yunning smiled slightly, and first helped Mrs. Li remove her makeup. She moisturized her face before applying makeup. After a while, she took out the foundation and applied makeup.
With a little tossing, your makeup is ready in just one stick of incense.
Mrs. Li's appearance is gentle and pleasant, so she designed a clean and pure nude makeup.
He looks several years younger, a little more lively, bright and confident.
"This..." Mrs. Li was so surprised that she couldn't help but look at the mirror again and again before she was sure that it was her own face in the mirror.
"Princess Xiao, your skills are so skillful. I seem to see myself ten years ago, before I left the cabinet."
Speaking of leaving the court, Mrs. Li turned to Mrs. Biaoqi and said, "If Sister Hui can put on beautiful makeup, she might be able to win the favor of her husband."
Sister Hui is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Biaoqi. After being married for several years, she was not favored because of her mediocre appearance. She was always suppressed by the concubines in the house.
This matter is also a worry for Mrs. Biaoqi.
"Princess Xiao?" Mrs. Biaoqi took Chu Yunning's arm affectionately: "Please help Princess Xiao, I have recorded this favor and will definitely return it in the future!"
Mrs. Biaoqi's character was well known, so Chu Yunning readily agreed.
"I'll try my best."
Hearing this, Mrs. Biaoqi couldn't wait to ask her maid to invite her daughter.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Su rushed over in a hurry: "Mom, what happened, you called me in such a hurry."
Su is twenty years old this year. Her face is covered with freckles and her eyes are small. Her appearance is indeed unremarkable.
After Mrs. Biaoqi briefly explained the situation, Mrs. Su sat down dubiously and said politely: "Princess Xiao is here for you."
Chu Yunning began to help Su's face shape. She only wanted to modify it, minimizing the shortcomings and magnifying the advantages.
After applying foundation, I used concealer to cover my freckles, and my skin tone looked very delicate and not inconsistent.
After applying the upper and lower eyelashes, the eyes were enlarged.
This is how a modern Internet celebrity makeup was born.
Su touched her cheek: "Is this really me?"
Her appearance has improved several levels, and when she blinks, she looks charming and charming.
"Madam, you are even more beautiful than my second concubine." The maid exclaimed.
Mrs. Biaoqi also nodded with satisfaction: "This makeup is simply exquisite. Sister Hui, you have to thank Princess Xiao very much."
Su Hui'er was so excited that she almost knelt down to Chu Yunning. Chu Yunning reached out and helped her up: "You're welcome, I saw that you are destined, so I will give you this set of cosmetics."
Chu Yunning pointed to the little maid behind her: "This maid is also given to you. She is very good at her craftsmanship."
This maid was trained for several days and knows some skills.
Technology is not the most important, cosmetics are unique. Without this set of cosmetics, everything is in vain.
"How can I accept this gift from you?" Su Huier declined.
"It's just a set of cosmetics, don't worry about it, Miss Su."
Under Chu Yunning's pressure, Su Huier accepted it with a smile and thanked her again and again.
Chu Yunning generously gave each of Mrs. Biaoqi and Mrs. Li a set of cosmetics.
Mrs. Biaoqi sent her daughter and friends away, and then asked Chu Yunning: "Princess Xiao has tried so hard to block me here, is there anything you want to ask for?"
It's not like she hasn't seen the world before. She knew it was premeditated as soon as she guessed it.
"Mrs. Biaoqi loves her daughter dearly, and so do I as a mother. My son was kidnapped a few days ago and suffered a lot of injustice. I will never tolerate my son being bullied in vain."
She had heard a little bit about Princess Xiao's son being kidnapped.
"Why don't you go ask the Queen Mother?" Mrs. Biaoqi didn't dare to be careless. Princess Xiao had gone to great lengths to lay out the plan, and what she was asking for must be quite big.
"This matter should not disturb the palace for the time being."
Mrs. Baoqi frowned, and Chu Yunning whispered a few words in Mrs. Baoqi's ear.
"Seriously?" Mrs. Biaoqi's eyes widened in disbelief, and then she smiled coldly: "What do I think it is? It is done, and it is a great contribution to eliminating harm for the people. Princess Xiao, don't worry, this matter
My escort agency has agreed to send a maid if you need any help."
Chu Yunning didn't expect to convince Mrs. Biaoqi so quickly, and she was a little excited.
The first person was successfully dealt with, and she only needed to defeat the rest one by one.
In the evening, Chu Yunning went boating by the lake again. She sat on the deck, admiring the lake and moonlight, and saw a large boat in the distance with its eaves.
Dozens of red lanterns were hung, and the ship was filled with singing, dancing, and laughter.
This big ship is Yihongyuan. It is located on the moat and encircles a piece of land. It is surrounded by many small boats, some patrolling and some picking up people.
Every guest who goes to Yihongyuan is picked up and dropped off by a boat.
The people on the shore are responsible for observing whether the guests who come are wearing concealed weapons, and also to prevent anyone from getting hurt.
"What are you thinking about? You are so focused."
Prince Xiao appeared behind him at some unknown time. He followed Chu Yunning's gaze and handed her a cloak: "It's windy at night, so put it on."
It was cold by the lake, but Chu Yunning did not refuse King Xiao's kindness and reached out to take it and put it on his shoulders.
She looked at the big ship and thought about setting it on fire.
"Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. Yihongyuan has existed for so many years and has attracted many enemies. Many people have tried to attack her but failed. Jingniang is a ruthless person. She will always be willing to pay for every penny she spends, and she will take revenge if she has any revenge!"
Prince Xiao seemed to have seen through Chu Yunning's thoughts and interrupted.
Chu Yunning shook her head: "Why should I hurt innocent people?"
She wouldn't be so stupid to injure the enemy by one thousand and damage herself by eight hundred.
Chu Yunning held her chin with one hand and asked, "The moat is so big. It's a pity that the Yihongyuan family is the only one."
King Xiao's eyelids twitched.
A few days later, another large ship appeared on the moat, with a plaque named Yisi Tower, and many workers were decorating the ship.
Chu Yunning has also been very busy these days. He directly purchased several brothels and selected a few with potential to train privately.
And it was announced in the capital that Yisilou would be open for three days, and everyone would get as much as they spent on their purchases.
"Miss, do you really plan to open a brothel?" Bi Xiu asked.
Chu Yunning glanced at Beibei under the swing. As long as she closed her eyes now, her mind would be filled with images of when she rescued Beibei.
Lonely, helpless, and scared, if Yihong Tower is not eradicated for one day, Beibei will most likely be kidnapped again.
"The arrow must be fired when it is on the string!"
Chu Yunning designed several programs according to the modern stage.
In order to cooperate with the publicity, several painters were hired to draw many brochures day and night, and sent people to distribute them on the streets in a targeted manner.
I have to say that this trick was very effective, and Yisilou's reputation quickly spread.
"This Yisi Lou is so brave. He actually ran next to Yihong Building to grab business."
"I see, Yisi Building will soon be destroyed by Yihong Building."
"That's not necessarily the case."
There were different opinions. Chu Yunning didn't know how strong the other party was. Since she chose to openly provoke him, she was fully prepared.
On the eighth day of next month, Yisi Building will officially open for business.
"Can anyone come to support me?" King Xiao stood on the deck and looked out. So far, he has not seen many ships coming.
Chu Yunning was not worried. She operated according to the modern model and snapped her fingers towards the other side of the lake.
A ship was ready for departure, and guests boarded the ship one after another to go to Yisi Tower.
The music started playing, and several masked singers on the shore opened their voices and sang songs skillfully.
The big boat instantly became lively.
King Xiao glanced at Chu Yunning in confusion, and Chu Yunning snapped his fingers again. The lights and music changed and immediately turned into a high-pitched song.
A most dazzling ethnic song played all night long, and the sound was so loud that people couldn't help but frown.
Prince Xiao was even more puzzled: "Chu Yunning, what on earth are you doing?"
Chu Yunning hummed a tune and asked with a smile: "My lord, don't you think there is some movement on the other side?"
Looking along the line of sight, several people were walking down one after another on the opposite deck.
Perhaps it was the magic sound that caught her ears and was brainwashed by the rhythm. The singer opposite was humming the music and was confused, and gradually she was followed by the most dazzling ethnic style.
Chu Yunning inquired about it and found out that the characteristic of Yihong Tower is that the music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and songs take turns every day and are performed by the best girls.
Today the piano and the song are played at the same time.
Therefore, Chu Yunning came up with this method.
Create the illusion that business is good and there are many people, so that everyone knows that Yisilou’s business is good.
It also interferes with the business on the opposite side, killing two birds with one stone.
King Xiao was surprised.
"Does this song sound familiar to you, Your Majesty?"
Chu Yunning asked.
Prince Xiao glanced back at her, his mind filled with swirling songs. He was surprised that Chu Yunning had arranged so many things in such a short period of time.
What else does he not know about the person in front of him?
