After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Ye Jin was so busy talking that she didn't apply the facial makeup evenly, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

Jingzhou belongs to the north, and the feng shui is not as nourishing as that of Kyoto. No matter how pampered she has been for the past three years, her skin is still not as delicate and fair as Xiao Xuetang's.

Qiao Niang was very good at observing people's expressions, and she quickly changed a box of facial cream for Ye Jin, saying, "Miss, this is sent by Madam. It is Yan Xinji's facial cream. It is said that this facial cream called Zixue is very popular in Kyoto."

Ye Jin took it critically, and said to Qiao Niang: "What do you mean by stealing business? I am competing with my own products based on my own abilities!"

Ye Jin relied on the fact that she came from another world, and was conceited that her vision and talent far surpassed those ignorant ancient people. She used modern business operations to expand her shop under the name of Ye, and was simply invincible.

When he was in Jingzhou before, Ye Jin implemented it very successfully. Now that he has come to Kyoto, Ye's mind has become more active.

Having only Baicaotang's money bag was far from enough. She wanted to make Ye's reputation known in Kyoto in a short period of time. In this way, in front of the nobles in Kyoto, her identity would not only be an adopted daughter living in the marquis's mansion, but the owner of Ye's!

Ye Jin tried it on her face and found that the facial cream was much better than she had imagined. After applying it, it did not have the astringent feeling that was unique to facial creams of that era, nor was it the pale color of those with lead powder added. After using it, the skin tone became exceptionally bright and was not inferior to the cosmetics of later generations at all!

Her eyes lit up...

"This facial cream is really good. If I can get the secret recipe of this facial cream and use it as the flagship product of my store, it will lay the foundation for my business in Kyoto..."

She must find a way to get the secret recipe of this facial cream!

……

Uncle Wu drove the carriage very steadily and stopped in front of Yan Xinji's door.

From the outside, this powder shop doesn't look big, but after you go in, you'll find that it's a different world inside.

As soon as you enter the door, the first thing you smell is a faint fragrance. The precious spices are sorted and stored in boxes in cabinets high on the wall.

The incense placed on the table is supported by a tray carved into a flower tree. It is not made into the same old incense balls or sticks, but is delicately made into the shape of flowers, which is very popular among the noble ladies in Kyoto.

Lin Shu came from a noble family and was not good at business, but he had a pair of deft hands that could revive rotten wood and carve it into lifelike beautiful flowers. The exquisite rouge boxes in Yan Xinji were all made by her hands. Lin Shu's wife Hong Fu was originally a spice merchant. She was very proficient in spices and was very good at dealing with people.

A year ago, Xiao Xuetang bought the spice shop just to give them a place to stay, and had no intention of making money from it. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Lin Shu and his wife managed the shop very well.

After the guests had left, Hong Fu saw Xiao Xuetang coming over and said in surprise, "Miss, why did you find time to come here? Come and sit down and have some tea."

As he spoke, he handed over the business in the shop to the hired girl Xiangling, and let Xiao Xuetang sit in the compartment, saying: "This is this year's new tea, and the cherry fried tea was also bought by Lin Shu from the West Market yesterday. Try it."

Although Hong Fu was only a few years older than Xiao Xuetang, Lin Shu and Mr. Xie were close friends, so they always treated Xiao Xuetang as their junior.

Of course, as soon as Xiao Xuetang arrived, she started feeding Hong Fu with candied fruits and snacks. Even Xiao Xuetang could not resist Hong Fu's enthusiasm.

After eating some of each snack, Hongfu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Miss, you are a little thin. You should eat more."

Qiyue at the side said, "That's right. The girl is good in everything except eating. When she went out this morning, the waist of her new dress was one foot looser."

Hong Fu suddenly felt pity for Xiao Xuetang and fed her a piece of mung bean cake, saying, "It's not good not to like eating."

Xiao Xuetang puffed up his cheeks and took a long time to swallow the osmanthus cake. Looking at Hongfu's shining eyes, he felt like he was feeding a beautiful little animal...

When Hongfu was about to stuff her second piece of dessert, Xiao Xuetang quickly changed the subject: "Sister Hongfu, I think the business in this shop seems to be good."

Speaking of business, Hong Fu instantly perked up and forgot about feeding Xiao Xuetang. She said, "That's right. Ever since you developed the formula for the 'Sanxue' facial cream from an ancient recipe, the facial cream and the scented powder in our shop are almost sold out. The girls in Kyoto love them."

'The ruler in the box is cold, and the grease on the table is solidified.'

The earliest record of "skin like solidified fat" can be found in "The Book of Songs". In "The Book of Rites. Inner Rules", there is "use fat and ointment to cream it", which shows that people knew how to use facial cream to care for their skin a long time ago.

The word "zhi" does not refer to just rouge as later generations misunderstood, but is divided into lip rouge and facial rouge. The "three snows" facial rouge mentioned by Hongfu specifically refers to "purple snow", "red snow" and "green snow".

It not only improves skin tone, but also prevents cracking and protects the skin in winter. It is a rare treasure from the palace bestowed by the emperor of the previous dynasty to his ministers.

Xiao Xuetang had nothing to do when he was free, so he flipped through ancient books and researched the recipes from several rare copies. At the time, he was just interested in it and didn't take it seriously.

Later, when she came to Yan Xinji, she overheard Hong Fu saying that the powder business in the shop was not very good, as all the business had been snatched away by a new facial cream shop that had opened in Kyoto. Xiao Xuetang then copied the recipe and asked Qiyue to give it to her.

Hong Fu is indeed a genius who is proficient in perfume making. She actually developed this Sanxue facial cream according to the recipe. It really has the miraculous effect as described in the book: "The carved box opens immediately, the cream is condensed into snow-white, the face is instantly bright and beautiful, and tuberculosis scabs are forever removed"...

As soon as these three facial creams were launched on the market, they became an instant hit among the noble ladies in Kyoto. This also made Yan Xinji go from being an unknown perfume and powder shop to becoming somewhat famous, with nobles in the palace even coming to buy from them.

Hong Fu's slender fingers clacked the abacus, calculating this month's profit. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were full of excitement as she said, "Miss, you are well-read. Why don't you study more prescriptions? Then our Yan Xin Ji will become the number one perfume and powder shop in Kyoto!"

Hongfu likes making money very much. When talking about business, she was so excited that even the silver ornaments on her body jingled.

She was very different from the woman Xiao Xuetang had met.

It is said that she is a woman from the Hu land and was born into a Hu merchant family. Her parents died when she was young and she traveled around the country with her uncle. She is very knowledgeable.

After arriving in Kyoto, she still kept some of the habits of the Hudi people. She liked to wear bright clothes with tight waists and sleeves, and wear silver jewelry, which was flamboyant and beautiful.

In his previous life, Xiao Xuetang was under the discipline of the old lady and felt that such an ostentatious woman was not a "good woman", so he deliberately kept a certain distance from Hong Fu.

But in her previous life, after Xiao Xuetang got into trouble, she became disgraced in Kyoto and was driven to a manor for half a year. She also lost contact with the Xie family. During the most difficult times, only Hongfu and his wife ran around for her.

She even allowed Ye Jin to threaten her and not only handed over the Sanxue facial cream formula that Yan Xinji relied on for survival, but also Hong Fu's ancestral secret recipe was taken away by Ye Jin!

In this life, she would never let Ye Jin succeed in his evil plan...
