The morning sun shone on Mu Fengqie's face. She woke up to the cries of peddlers in the street. It was only the fifth watch, yet there were already small stalls peddling outside. This idyllic life was what she yearned for deeply.
If possible, she wanted to take her money and go to a place where no one knew her, living a carefree life alone, enjoying a life like that in a utopia.
The girls in the Yingchun Tower all got up very early. As soon as Mu Fengqie stepped out of her room, she saw several people standing in front of her door. These girls were looking at her excitedly.
Mu Fengqie was startled by this scene. It seemed that these girls had been waiting impatiently outside her door for a long time. It was really interesting.
After having breakfast with everyone in the first - floor hall, Mu Fengqie started teaching the girls how to make up in the hall. The girls listened very attentively, not missing a single one of her movements.
Mu Fengqie still chose to use Xin Yue and Yu Shu's faces as examples because their faces were so distinctive. One was coquettish and the other was cold and elegant. There couldn't be better examples.
"Can you see clearly? You can use eyebrow ink to replace eyeliner. Just gently draw it on the outer half of the eye - tail. Your eyes will instantly look a lot bigger. Some people suit an upturned eyeliner, while others suit a downturned one. You can compare these two girls and draw the type of eyeliner that suits you according to which one you resemble."
Hearing Mu Fengqie's words, the girls picked up their eyebrow pencils and started drawing on their eyes. But not everyone had a talent for this. Fortunately, almost half of them had learned it, so there was no need to waste too much time on this technique. Those who hadn't learned could just be taught by those who had.
"Next, what you need to learn is about eyelashes. I've noticed that not many of you have naturally curly eyelashes. Now I'll teach you a good way."
As she spoke, Mu Fengqie took out from her bosom the toothpick - like wooden sticks she had made the previous night. Everyone was curious about what these small wooden sticks were for.
Mu Fengqie picked up the fire - starter on the table, lit the wooden stick, and quickly blew out the flame. Then, with lightning speed, she scorched Xin Yue's eyelashes with the stick.
"Okay, come and have a look. See what changes there are in Xin Yue's eyelashes." Mu Fengqie proudly threw the used wooden stick on the table.
Hearing this, the girls quickly got up and surrounded Xin Yue. At this moment, the change in Xin Yue's eyes was obvious. The scorched eyelashes were curly and long, looking extremely beautiful. After seeing this, the girls started shouting.
"Wow! How did Miss Mu do this? It's simply a stroke of genius! Miss Mu, please teach us quickly! Xin Yue's eyes look a lot bigger than before. I'm so envious!"
"Exactly! Miss Mu is simply our savior! With Miss Mu here, our Yingchun Tower will surely be more prosperous than before!"
The girls burst into laughter. Third Madam was sitting on one side, laughing heartily at the girls' fun. Now she was busy every day. As long as Mu Fengqie finished training the girls, the Yingchun Tower would return to its former glory.
"As long as you learn this makeup technique, I'm sure even the most beautiful girls in other brothels can't compare with you. Now there's only one more step left." Mu Fengqie murmured as she spoke.
Mu Fengqie noticed that the lip - color of all the girls was very monotonous. They all used the color printed from red paper, which was far too one - dimensional. Some girls didn't even suit this color. It seemed that she needed to make some lipsticks suitable for these girls.
"Practice the makeup technique I taught you today. I have something to do. I'll leave this to A Ru." With that, Mu Fengqie turned around and went upstairs.
Although she wasn't a professional makeup artist, she had studied making her own cosmetics. She thought it shouldn't be too difficult to research and make lipsticks.
For the rest of the day, she locked herself in her room to study how to make lipsticks. After spending most of the day, she finally managed to make several jars of lipsticks.
She happily took the newly made lip balm to find the girls. At this moment, the girls were practicing the dance Mu Fengqie had taught them. They were very happy to see her.
"What nice things do you have in your hand, Miss Mu?"
"Miss Mu didn't leave her room all day today. Did you spend the time researching those things in your hand?"
Mu Fengqie walked forward while smiling and nodding. She accidentally thought of another way to start a business. Now she was already a wealthy woman, but who in this world would dislike being rich?
In the future, she must sell the lip balm well. It would be a considerable source of income. In modern times, as long as a woman was an adult, she would definitely have lipsticks. Some women were even extremely fond of lipsticks and would collect lipsticks of various brands and colors.
So even in this era, these women would surely be very fond of lipsticks. Let's just practice on these girls first!
"This is the lip balm I made. Your names are written on the jars. Come and get them, girls."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girls swarmed up. They opened the jars one by one and were immediately attracted to the lip balm inside. Their eyes were shining.
Seeing the happy smiles on these girls' faces, Mu Fengqie couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Fortunately, being with these people and being infected by their happy atmosphere, otherwise she might have been very sad now.
A Ru's head was like a rattle as she searched for her name on the jars. She watched helplessly as some girls had already applied the lip balm on their lips, but she still couldn't find her name after searching all the jars. She couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
"Sister, they all have theirs. Where's mine? Sister, you didn't forget about me, did you?" A Ru asked dejectedly.
Mu Fengqie found A Ru's pouting face very amusing and couldn't help teasing her, "Oh! Look at my memory. I actually forgot about you. A Ru won't mind, will you?"
At first, A Ru still had some hope, but after hearing Mu Fengqie's words, her heart sank. Sister had actually forgotten about her! She had been helping Sister with everything! She was really disappointed!
Seeing the tears welling up in A Ru's disappointed eyes, Mu Fengqie couldn't help bursting out laughing.
