The topic instantly turned to Ye Muyu’s cream.
The other Madams saw that Mrs. Xie could not be persuaded, so they could only change the topic to avoid angering her. Otherwise, their daughters would have even less of a chance.
“What is this for?” Mrs. Sun leaned over and asked. She looked puzzled as she saw Mrs. He take out the sample and apply it on her hands.
“This is specially used on the hands. It’s much better than the hand oil in the past.” Mrs. He’s voice was not soft, as if she was deliberately speaking to someone.
Mrs. Sun immediately covered her mouth and laughed. “You’re right. The hand oil I bought at Yunxiang Pavilion felt really oily. I don’t know about the effect, but it looks really uncomfortable.”
“Mrs. Yu, did your Yunxiang Pavilion change its manager recently? Why did it change so much? It wasn’t so greasy when I used it last time. Speaking of which, I forgot to ask you about this.”
The Yu family had bought out all the rouge and cosmetic shops in Nanchang County. The largest one was Yunxiang Pavilion. At the same time, the largest gambling den in the county was also owned by the Yu family. They were the most wealthy squires after the Xie family.
Usually, he would interact more with the Xie family and the county magistrate’s family.
Mrs. Yu was tall and slim. She was dressed in high-quality dark green silk, which made her look very imposing. She had a pearl headdress on her head and a jade bracelet on her wrist. Her makeup was exquisite. Among all the ladies present, she was dressed the most wealthy.
Even Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xu only had simple accessories today. They looked very ordinary and did not stand out.
The other Madams did not have such precious jewelry to begin with, so they naturally wore what they usually wore. It was not outstanding, but it was not embarrassing.
In this way, Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu, who was by her side, appeared too dazzling.
Mrs. Yu did not seem to notice the strange gazes of the other madams. Her expression was indifferent. “Recently, we’ve changed a perfumer. Perhaps it’s because we’ve changed the formula. I think the effect is not bad. Compared to the previous one, the durability is better. If you apply it once in winter, you won’t have to use it for three to four days. For the sake of beauty, bear with the slight discomfort.”
When Mrs. Sun heard this, her brows furrowed. She did not like her attitude. Her family was not weak, so she naturally would not tolerate it. “Mrs. Yu, do you mean that there’ll only be this version of the hand oil in the future? Will the previous version not be sold anymore?”
“But the effect of the two is not much different. The price is also half a tael of silver higher. I’m afraid it’s a little inappropriate, right?”
Mrs. Yu gave a fake smile. “Mrs. Sun, you’re wrong. There must be a reason why it’s half a tael of silver more expensive. Naturally, it needs to be used for a long time to have obvious effects. I’ll give you a box of hand oil. You can use it for two to three months when you go back. It won’t be too late to talk about it then.”
As expected, Mrs. Sun was a little hesitant. After all, everyone loved beauty, let alone women like them who were not short of money. Her expression changed. After a while, she smiled and said, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. If it really works, I can tolerate it even if it’s just a little oily.”
When Mrs. He heard that Mrs. Sun had been convinced so quickly, she could not help but feel anxious.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard Du Heng’s mother, Mrs. Du, whisper to Ye Muyu. “I bought some rouge from Yunxiang Pavilion a few days ago. I liked it at first, but they changed to something else in less than two months. I could only switch to something else.”
“Although it works every time, it’s not something I’m used to. I still miss the previous one.”
