906, the circle of ladies in the capital exploded
So, the two made such a decision.
From now on, a banner was hung at the entrance of Yan's cosmetics store, which read: Yan's cosmetics store was lucky to get a set of Guosefang skin care cosmetics.
The sentence was thought up by Gu Qianxue, without any fancy slogans or descriptions, just like a notice.
Such a banner, with an exaggerated price of one thousand taels of silver, not to mention the effect of advertising, is afraid that it will be ridiculed.
Yan Zisong withdrew his initial doubts and replaced them with expectations. He had a feeling that Princess Qianxue would impress him.
The two chatted about the specifics of the contract and the commission, and came up with a general intention to formally write a document two days later.
We had lunch together and separated.
Yan Zisong, as a business upstart in the capital, has a busy social life. In addition, although the Yan family store has opened, it has not yet entered the capital, so it takes more time to take care of it.
Gu Qianxue and Chuyan left the Baizhen Tower.
Because of her conspicuous appearance, Gu Qianxue wore a veil.
The two got into the carriage and headed towards Gu Shangshu's mansion. Chu Yan finally had a chance to ask questions.
These questions have been bothering her all the time, "The servant girl vaguely knows what the princess wants to do. It is better to promote cosmetics than to be recommended by a lady, but the relationship between the princess and the queen is not familiar with Qin Concubine or Yong'an Princess at all. Do you want to go far and find the queen?"
Gu Qianxue said, "You don't understand what news effect is."
"News effect?" Chu Yan really didn't understand this term.
"Let's put it this way, someone fed a dog a piece of meat, do you think it's unusual?" Gu Qianxue asked.
"It's not unusual." Although she didn't know what the princess wanted to express, Chu Yan answered truthfully.
"Then if a person feeds a piece of meat to a dog, suddenly a wolf comes and wants to grab the meat. The dog fights with the wolf and drives the wolf away. Just as he is about to eat the meat, he finds two stray pups. The dog, the dog wants to eat meat but feels sorry for the two puppies, and finally ate half of the meat, and gave the remaining half to the two puppies." Qianxue smiled strangely, "Do you think this is unusual?"
Chu Yan frowned, "It's strange."
"This is the news effect." Qian Xue said, "Adding an ordinary event to many stories and making it twists and turns will make it news."
Chu Yan nodded, "That is to say, giving the Guose Fang to the queen is only the first step. The queen may not use it, like it, or cause a sensation?"
"Not necessarily, it will definitely not be used, and it will definitely not be a sensation," Qianxue blinked mysteriously, "However, I will let her ask for it, but before that, there are a few things that need to be done."
There are still some raw materials for making the national color formula, and there is no need to go to the Yushengju of Li Wangfu to refine it for the time being, as long as it is synthesized according to the formula, Gu Qianxue gave this task to Chuyan, and she went out with Yulian and Yucui.
This walk is an afternoon.
When she came back in the evening, Ruyan had already made two sets of Guose recipes with the remaining materials, and packed them in boxes.
Qian Xue checked, "It's done well."
Chu Yan was very curious, "What did the princess do this afternoon?"
Qianxue smiled mysteriously, "I went to find my old lover in the harem."
"..." Chu Yan knew that the princess was joking again.
"It's Zhang Jieyu." Afterwards, he told about Zhang Jieyu's poisoning and childbirth, "That's it, Zhang Jieyu and I have become friends. , Jingzhong was Zhang Jieyu's cover, and the emperor found Zhang Jieyu's goodness, so he doted on her very much."
Hearing this, Chu Yan said, "The princess can be regarded as a kind cause and a good fruit. You saved Zhang Jieyu back then, so let Zhang Jieyu repay the favor now." Just like her at this time.
Qianxue shrugged, "Don't talk about repaying favors or not, I hope it's pure friendship. Zhang Jieyu has a clear distinction between likes and dislikes. She grew up reading unofficial history and has a lot of ghost ideas. She is very sympathetic with me."
Chu Yan smiled and said, "Could it be that the princess' idea is also obtained from reading unofficial history."
Qianxue nodded, "You can say that." Modern TV dramas and novels can be regarded as unofficial history for the time being.
In a flash, five days passed.
The days are still the same, and the capital is also calm.
But the circle of noble ladies in Beijing exploded!
A few days ago, Pei Huangshang entered the palace and said that Yan Zisong, a rookie in the business world in the capital, had rare goods in his shop, and he came here to honor the empress.
The queen is a loyal supporter of Luoyan Canton, even if she didn't grab Luoyan Canton, there are many expensive cosmetics, who cares about this little-known beauty formula, and even ridiculed this rotten thing with a sensational name to the maids, and then It was thrown aside.
In the evening, Zhang Jieyu, the emperor's favorite, unexpectedly begged to see the empress for the first time. The purpose of coming was not for anything else, but to beg for that beautiful woman.
Naturally, the queen would not give it to Zhang Jieyu, not to mention that the national beauty is a cosmetic, even if it is trash, she would not give it to Zhang Jieyu. All the harem concubines who are favored by the emperor are the queen's enemies, but at the same time the queen is also curious. Where is Zhang Jieyu? There are countless treasures bestowed by the emperor, how can you fall in love with this national beauty.
Zhang Jieyu reported the truth, saying that Guosefang is a rare product that only exists in legends, and that it is usually scrambled for when it is produced. Among the folks, the noble ladies only heard of its name but did not see its product, and some even offered a reward of ten thousand taels of silver. Guosefang, but there are too few goods, and the businessmen are afraid of offending the lady, so they simply say that there is no more Guosefang.
A few sets are released every year, and before there is any news from the outside world, they are quietly sold to regular customers.
Therefore, the news did not reach the capital.
After Zhang Jieyu left, the queen took out the Guose formula again, and tried them one by one after cleaning her face according to the instructions on it.
Guosefang is also a troublesome thing, just wipe it well, but first of all, a bottle of Xianfanglu requires a pure silk cloth dipped in liquid to wipe the cheeks. Then apply the Liufang cream, and finally apply the Taofang powder.
After putting it on, the queen felt that Zhang Jieyu was an ignorant country bumpkin, because the makeup didn't have any special effect after putting it on, so she threw Guosefang aside for the second time.
Early the next morning, the queen woke up, but the maid was surprised to find that the queen looked two or three years younger.
The queen reached out her hand to touch her cheek, only to feel that her face was moist and greasy, which was actually more tender than that of the fifteen-year-old girl.
For this reason, the queen also summoned a fifteen-year-old court lady to compare, and all the court ladies praised the queen's skin for being more tender.
Whether the queen's skin is tender or the fifteen-year-old maid's skin is tender, the real answer cannot be obtained from the mouths of the court ladies, because the court ladies dare not say that the queen's skin is not tender.
Signaling, the queen was very happy, and immediately gave Yan Zisong a good wish.
That Yan Zisong was also a capable person, and immediately offered Yu Ruyi in the most conspicuous place of the cosmetics store, and next to it marked with a gold wooden plaque on a black background that the empress's favorite national color formula was given to Yu Ruyi.
The news of the circle of noble ladies in the capital is very well-informed, so they immediately rushed to fight for it, but unfortunately, the Yan family makeup shop only had one box, and there was nothing extra.
