PDLP Chapter 375: Thick Skin
Chapter 375: Thick Skin
Luo Yu had never believed that she could be so shameless. It might be because she had been with nobles for too long and had acquired some self-righteous habits.
She asked the girl in the store to take out the most expensive ready-made clothes for her to try on. When the gorgeous clothes appeared, Xia Liang and Luo Yu's eyes were so dazzling that they could hardly open their eyes. Luo Yu only knew a few things about the material of the fabric. It should be the finest water-blue floating brocade, the best brocade. Coupled with the unique round flower embroidery on the brocade, Luo Yu knew that the price must be very high.
The shopkeeper was a graceful woman with some charm. Seeing that the two girls wanted to see the best clothes, she came out to entertain them personally.
Xia Liang cried out a few times, rubbing the material and not letting go, and then boldly asked: "Boss, how much is this dress?"
"If you really like it, I can give you a discount. The original price is five thousand taels of silver, but I'll give you an 80% discount, so only four thousand taels will do."
Xia Liang muttered: "It's not too expensive."
At least she had saved this money before.
Luo Yu's mind buzzed. It wasn't expensive at all. If he had found a bargain back then, he could have bought a building in Liangzhou or Wangzhou at this price.
But she couldn't show that she couldn't afford it. Even though she didn't have more than 200 taels of silver, she said calmly, "How about letting me try?"
When the shopkeeper heard that there was really a fool who would buy such expensive clothes, he must let the girl try them on carefully. He then called several young girls to help Luo Lu go into the inner room to change clothes.
Xia Liang paced the dressing room in fear, his money barely enough to pay the bill. Wasn't Sister Luo Yan asking for trouble by doing this? He scanned the room, figuring out where to run and how to run.
The girls changed Luo Yu's clothes, fixed her hairstyle, and put on light makeup. When Luo Yu slowly walked out of the inner room, she instantly stunned everyone.
The ladies and young ladies who came to see the clothes were all amazed. It was true that clothes make the man. The woman was just an ordinary and beautiful woman before, but after changing her clothes, she was so beautiful that she was stunning.
Xia Liang approached Luo Yu, and Luo Yu used his eyes to signal the bag in her hand, and Xia Liang immediately understood.
"Wow, sister, you are absolutely stunning. I'm afraid no woman in this world can compare to your stunning beauty. But, I feel like something is missing..."
Luo Yu frowned slightly. Since he didn't have a full-length mirror, he could only see his upper body through the bronze mirror. He asked anxiously, "Sister, do you feel like you're missing something?"
“It’s missing color.”
The shopkeeper suddenly laughed and said, "You must be joking, young lady. How could there be any lack of color? Although this dress is simple and elegant, it is dazzling. Miss Luo Yu is fair-skinned and has a beautiful headdress, which makes her look very charming."
Xia Liang suddenly realized, "I understand. It's because your face is too pale, and paired with this aquamarine shimmering brocade dress, it looks too dull."
After she said this, the ladies and young ladies who came to see the clothes nodded, and it was indeed the case.
When Xia Liang saw the women gathering around her, she took out several tubes of lipstick of different colors from her bag.
"Sister, why don't you try some colors? There are peach, cherry, tangerine, coral, and several other different shades."
A young lady who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old asked with sharp eyes, "What is this?"
"Lip balm, also known as lipstick, is a must-have for my sister when she goes out. It can moisturize her lips and act as a lipstick. You can match different lip colors to your skin tone and clothing to make your lips look rosy and plump. Every time my brother-in-law looks at my sister when he goes out, he wants to kiss her on the lips."
Luo Yu pretended to be shy and said coquettishly: "Sister, stop talking nonsense."
When the ladies present heard the girl speak so interestingly, they lowered their heads and whispered to each other, accompanied by bursts of laughter.
Regardless of what they thought, Luo Yu asked Xia Liang to buy her a bright red bottle of liquid. She smeared it up and down in front of the bronze mirror a few times, and her whole face instantly became much brighter. The exaggerated bright red color matched her fair face and aquamarine color, and it didn't seem exaggerated at all.
"Sister, this color really suits you!"
But Luo Yu was really not satisfied. She shook her head and asked Xia Liang to take out the handkerchief. She wanted to wipe off the color.
Before everyone could react, they saw this Miss Luo Yu hurriedly wipe the color off her lips and apply another pink lipstick. Oh my god, the change was so fast. Not to mention the ladies and young ladies, even the shopkeeper was extremely surprised. How come he had never heard of such a different color lipstick that they used?
Luo Yu was not idle. She wiped her mouth while applying other colors. Her mouth was almost red and swollen from her torment.
Xia Liang took out one and introduced its color, saying, "This is our Fang family's unique recipe, not passed on to others. It's not on the market yet, so it's not surprising that you haven't seen it. I think it will be available in Shanzhou City soon."
When the young ladies heard this, they really liked it. There were many colors and each one looked good. If they changed their dresses every day, they could match them with different lip colors, which was really wonderful.
"Girl, are you selling this lipstick now? I see you have a lot of them in your bag."
"No, no, this is rare. We don't make many ourselves. Besides, my sister is going to meet an important guest, and these are for her."
A lady dressed very elegantly slowly said, "How about I buy one for a hundred taels?"
Xia Liang was speechless and looked at Luo Yu.
This price is really good, I am very tempted, it would be bad to refuse it.
The shopkeeper saw that the two men had other intentions, so he quickly sent someone to call the third master of the Qiao family. All the shops in Shanzhou City were under the charge of this third master.
Luo Yu's eyes darkened, and he asked Xia Liang to take out the vanishing cream. He smiled and said, "I have quite a few products on hand, but I'm not ready to sell them. However, I think if I can sell these products and the recipes to someone, it will definitely be a good business in the future, and it will also allow the sisters and sisters in the whole city to use these good things."
The shopkeeper was very surprised: "Are you going to sell your son?"
Luo Yu nodded and said, "I originally came here to open my own shop, but now there are some emergencies. If there is a suitable seller, I will not do business with him."
Xia Liang recommended the vanishing cream to the sisters present: "My dear sisters and fairies, take a look at our Fang's moisturizer. Does anyone feel their face is tight and uncomfortable after washing it in the morning? Once autumn comes, the skin will become too dry and flaky, right?"
Several ladies nodded repeatedly.
"But as long as you use our moisturizer after washing your face or showering, you can use more if you have dry skin and less if you have non-dry skin. Whether it's the back of your hands, face, neck or body, apply this moisturizer and your skin will be as moisturized as a freshly peeled egg, which looks very beautiful."
"really?"
"You don't need to wipe your mouth with this. I can give it to all the fairies to try."
Xia Liang found a lady with the driest-looking skin and prepared to do an experiment on her hand.
The two girls were beautiful, kind-hearted, and spoke sweetly. They quickly brought together all the sisters in the house.
The shopkeeper's face was full of worry. He didn't know whether to rush the man or not, as it would affect his business.
