Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist - Chapter 89
In the forty-eight years of Yuanhe, Xiaobao became the youngest Tanhua Lang in the history of the Daxi dynasty, and he was assigned to the Hanlin Academy for editing.
In addition to the No. 1 pick, Xiaobao, who is only fifteen years old, Tanhua Lang, was also followed by the court.
Although it was only edited and edited by the Hanlin Academy of Zhengqipin, many people in the court saw the potential of this young Tanhua Lang and handed them olive branches. Many officials even wanted to promise the unmarried daughter of the family to the young man. Bao, but Xiao Bao refused one by one.
Li Mo and Song Dashan respected Xiaobao’s decision. When it comes to marriage, they hope that Xiaobao can choose a girl he likes. Anyway, Xiaobao is still young and the marriage can take time.
Xiaobao has never mentioned marriage to Li Mo and his wife. He goes to the Hanlin Academy every day and takes a break every ten days. On this day, he will take Fuer to play outside, afraid of her. It’s broken at home.
The reason I was afraid of Fu’er being bad is because now Li Mo can’t accompany Fu’er from time to time. The new shop has been renovated, the business has officially started, and the family is busy again.
The new shops are the same as the old shops in the town. They are divided into powder rooms, beauty rooms, leisure rooms and playrooms. However, the shops nowadays are more spacious, and the decoration is very high-end. The most expensive. Of course, the price charged has also become more expensive. Make-up is 50 cents per time, beauty treatment is 60 cents per time, and the price of snacks and tea is doubled.
Unlike the old shops in the past that took the ordinary people’s cheap route, Li Mo positioned the shops here in the capital as the high-end route. Basically, the receptionists were rich people, and the average consumption of a person was about 80 cents.
This kind of price is not expensive in the capital, but it is not cheap. At the beginning, many people didn’t know Li Mo’s craftsmanship. The business was not very good. However, Fu Yueran often came to patronize, and it was in large and small The banquets were praised intentionally or unintentionally, which made more and more ladies and ladies come to the shop with a curious mind, and after the first try, they basically became regular customers in the shop.
With Fu Yueran’s help, one month after the new store opened, the business broke through the depression and became better and better. It was more than twice as good as the previous store’s business. Accordingly, the store’s manpower was insufficient.
Knowing that Li Mo was short of people, Fu Yueran asked the dentist who was accustomed to the house to bring some people to Li Mo for her to choose from. Li Mo picked two wives to do miscellaneous work, and two young men to run errands. Four beautiful-looking women with innocent family backgrounds were selected as apprentices. They plan to teach them beauty and make-up in the future. After they are trained, they will replace her to do beauty for the guests.
Since choosing his apprentices, Li Mo has taken these four people with them every time they are in beauty and makeup, and let them observe and learn. After the shop is closed, he will explain to them in detail and let them practice each other to improve their skills. .
In addition to these four people, Li Mo also has a young apprentice, Xiao Fu’er.
That’s right, Li Mo intends to teach Fu’er all the skills.
Fu’er is ten years old and she is a half-year-old girl. From now on, everything that should be taught can be taught. In addition to teaching her cultural knowledge, her proficient makeup and beauty should also be taught to her one by one, even if she does not use it in the future It’s not a bad thing to master the make-up and cosmetology that women watch most.
Xiao Fu’er is also a sensible child. When Li Mo asked her to learn, she obediently followed. She was more serious than the four senior sisters, and the one who didn’t understand was always the first to ask, and the one who tried the most actively. Probably inherited Li Mo’s talent, Xiao Fu’er is also quite talented in this aspect, it can be said that it is not inferior to Li Mo.
However, she can always integrate and master the things Li Mo teaches, and the effect in practice is quite good, so that she can put on good makeup at a young age, and let the other four sisters with good talents. Unable to reach the dust, even Li Mo had to admit that Fuer would not be worse than her if he practiced for a few years.
In fact, it doesn’t take a few years, only two years for Fu’er’s skills to be on par with Li Mo. Everyone who comes to the shop knows that the boss’s daughter’s craftsmanship is not bad, and she is not inferior to her first-hand makeup and beauty skills. His mother, if sometimes Fu’er wants to make up and beautify the guests himself, then the guests who come will be rushing to make her, and the scene is always very lively.
With the four apprentices gradually being able to become teachers, Li Mo handed over the task of makeup and beauty to them, and she retreated to the second line and took up the work of collecting money at the front desk, commonly known as the shopkeeper.
Song Dashan is responsible for the care of the flower gardens in the outskirts of Zhuangzi and the production of various balm and beauty products. Every day, he drives the carriage to Zhuangzi at dawn and waits for the evening to return.
On this day, Song Dashan returned from Zhuangzi in the same way, but looked out of the gate from time to time.
Li Mo was surprised, “Dashan, what are you looking at?”
Song Dashan frowned slightly and said in a low voice: “There has been a little girl wandering outside our shop these days, seeming to be watching something, but she doesn’t come in. It is very strange.”
Li Mo stretched his head and looked out the door. He really saw a girl who was about sixteen or seventeen years old in linen looking into the store. Seeing Li Mo looking at her, he immediately looked away.
“Is it this girl?” Li Mo asked.
Song Dashan nodded, “It’s her who has been looking out the door for several days.”
Li Mo thought for a moment, and simply walked out of the shop, walked to the girl, and asked, “Girl, are you looking for someone? Is there anything we can help?”
The little girl didn’t expect that the people inside would come out and talk to her. She was awkward, her face flushed slightly, and she hesitated for a long time without speaking.
Li Mo saw that she did have something to say, and smiled and encouraged her, “Girl, if you have anything to say directly, don’t be afraid. If I can help you, I will definitely help.”
Probably because Li Mo’s attitude was too kind, the little girl gradually let go of her restraint, pursing her lips as if she was thinking about something, and finally said softly, “I want to find someone, his house seems to be here.”
“Oh? Who is it? As long as I know, I’ll tell you that I basically know the people around here.”
The little girl bit her lower lip and let it go. She mustered her courage and said, “I want to find someone named Song Yifan, do you know him?”
Song Yifan? Isn’t this Xiaobao? Is this girl looking for her little treasure?
Li Mo calmly looked at the girl seriously, but couldn’t see anything, and simply asked: “May I ask, what are you looking for?”
The little girl did not answer, but instead asked: “Do you know him?”
Seeing the little girl didn’t want to say, Li Mo didn’t force it, but said the truth: “I know, I’m his mother.”
The little girl blushed suddenly when she heard the words, and she seemed very embarrassed, but she said hello politely, “Good morning aunt.”
Seeing the little girl’s reaction, Li Mo determined that she must have known Xiao Bao, and there was no malice in coming to him.
Seeing the little girl in a dusty appearance, Li Mo simply said: “Girl, my family Yifan is still on duty, and I won’t be back until the evening. You can come in with me to rest for a while.” Take her into the house.
The little girl seemed a little uncomfortable, but she still didn’t get rid of Li Mo’s hand and followed her in.
Li Mo asked Fu’er to take the girl to the backyard and order some tea and fruit snacks.
Fu’er was very curious about this looking good-looking girl. The key was to find the girl who was looking for her brother. She couldn’t help asking: “Miss, what’s your name?”
The girl smiled, “My name is Qixi Festival.”
Fu’er tilted her head, “Your name is the same as that of Qixi Festival.”
Qixi nodded, “Yes, because I was picked up by my master on Qixi, so I am called Qixi.”
Fu’er’s smile closed up, “Sorry, I talked about this bad topic.”
Qixi shook his head, “It’s nothing, my master is very kind to me.”
Fu’er changed the subject, “Then you can tell me, why are you looking for my brother? Do you know my brother?”
Asked by Fu’er’s question, Qixi’s face reddened again, and she nodded slightly with her lips, “Well, I know your brother. I came to him this time and asked him about important things.”
Fu’er saw that the young lady was embarrassed to say, so she nodded and didn’t ask any more, but treated her more carefully, and went to clean up a room for her to live in.
In the evening, Xiaobao came back from the Hanlin Academy and was caught by the welcoming Fuer as soon as he entered the door.
Xiao Bao smiled and patted his sister’s head, “What’s wrong? Why are you welcoming your brother so warmly today?”
Fu’er wrinkled her little nose and smiled playfully: “Brother, tell you something, a beautiful young lady came to see you today.”
Xiao Bao was slightly surprised when he heard the words, “Looking for me? Who?” He said as he entered the hall.
As a result, when I saw the figure on the dinner table, my footsteps stopped suddenly, and an uncontrollable expression of surprise appeared on the face that had always been moody and angered, “Chinese Valentine’s Day?”
Qixi Festival stood up immediately, the corner of his mouth was tilted up when he saw Xiaobao, and his voice was light, “Song Yifan.”
Li Mo and Song Dashan looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
Li Mo waved to Little Bao, “Yifan, come in quickly, this girl has been waiting for you for a day.”
Little Treasure recovered from the surprise just now, suddenly reduced his expression, and slowly walked into the house, watching Qixi Festival as if he was looking at a stranger, and his voice could not hear emotionally and asked: “Why are you here? ?”
Seeing Xiaobao’s face suddenly changed indifferent, Qixi’s smile froze, tugging at the hem of her skirt, and her voice became much lower, “I…I’m coming to you.”
Xiao Bao grabbed his eyes, sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks to eat the food and asked, “Oh? What can I do for you?”
Qixi’s eyes were red uncontrollably, and I couldn’t say what I wanted to say before I came here. I didn’t know for a while whether it was better to stand or sit.
Li Mo frowned when he saw this. He didn’t understand why Xiao Bao, who had always been gentle and polite, was suddenly so sharp, but now he can’t say anything, so he stretched out and took the little girl to sit down, “Chinese Valentine’s Day, sit down and eat quickly. , Shall we talk after dinner, okay?”
Tanabata wiped his eyes and nodded, “Okay, thank you Auntie.” After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and digged the rice to deliver it to his mouth, without picking up vegetables.
Li Mo couldn’t stand it, picking up the vegetables and putting them in the bowl of Qixi Festival, “Thanksgiving, you are welcome, just pick whatever you want, how can you just eat rice.”
Qixi hurriedly thanked him and ate all the dishes that Li Mo had caught.
After eating, Li Mo and Song Dashan returned to the house, and even drove Fu’er back to the house. Only Xiaobao and Qixi were left, letting them solve their own problems.
Xiaobao didn’t say anything about the avoidance behavior of family members. After sitting for a while, he got up and prepared to go back to the room. Before leaving, he said, “It’s not early, rest early.” His tone seemed to be talking to a stranger.
Qixi’s face turned pale, a little unaware. Seeing that Xiaobao was about to leave, he couldn’t help but grabbed his skirt, “Yifan.”
Xiao Bao pulled out his sleeves, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his voice was not warm, “Please respect yourself.”
The three words made the last bit of blood on Qixi’s face disappear, and the teeth clenched his lower lip, almost biting the blood.
Xiaobao waited for a while without seeing the other party having something to say, his eyes became colder again, and he turned and left.
After two steps, the sleeves of the shirt were caught again, and the people behind him came with a disturbed and worried voice, “Yifan, you… do you remember what you said to me?”
The hands in Xiaobao’s sleeves clenched, her knuckles turned white, and she wanted to ask her why she could ask such a question even when she disappeared without a sound for so long, but she couldn’t say what she said. Exit, he just pulled out his sleeves fiercely again and said, “I don’t remember.”
After saying this, the hand holding his sleeve gradually loosened, and the people behind him no longer heard.
The air suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Bao regretted what he had just blurted out, and wanted to look back, but thinking of his hard work in the past two years, but couldn’t turn his head back, he simply went back to the room.
But when I went back to the room, I couldn’t fall asleep. I wondered where she came from, and wondered if she went back to the room to rest. I wondered if my attitude just now would make her sad. Anyway, this night, Xiao Bao opened his eyes until it was dawn.
The next day, Xiaobao managed to get up until he got up during the rest. Then he put on his clothes, opened the door, and went to the dining room for breakfast as usual.
But I didn’t see that figure at the dinner table.
Didn’t you get up yet?
Little Bao sat down and greeted Song Dashan, Li Mo, and Fu’er. Only then did he pick up the bowl and start eating.
But until he was almost finished eating, he didn’t see that person.
Feeling unbearable, Xiao Bao pretended to ask casually: “Where is the girl who came to our house yesterday? Haven’t gotten up yet?”
Li Mo raised his eyelids, lowered his eyes, and while holding a piece of pickles, said, “Oh, that girl, she came to say goodbye to me early in the morning and left with her luggage.”
“What! Go!” Xiaobao’s chopsticks fell to the ground all of a sudden, stood up and caused the chair to rub back for a long distance, making a harsh sound.
If Chang Xiaobao were to be left alone, she would definitely not be like this, but now she didn’t care about it, only the fact that she had left in her mind.
she left? Really gone? Why are you leaving again? Did your own words let her go last night?
“Mother, when did she leave? Where did she go?” Xiao Bao’s voice was never before.
Li Mo took another sip of the porridge, and then said after swallowing: “I left a quarter of an hour ago, it seems to be going west.”
Little Bora couldn’t say more, and rushed out of the door all of a sudden, disappearing.
Fu’er looked stunned, “Mother, I’ve never seen my brother so panicked. Since I saw that sister last night, my brother has changed completely unlike usual.”
Li Mo put a fried dumpling for Fu’er, “You are still young and don’t understand, he will take care of your brother’s affairs.”
Fu’er said “Oh” and had a meal.
