Zhai fell to her knees with a thud, her eyes filled with fear, as if the weak-looking girl in front of her was some evil ghost: "Please forgive me, young lady. I will never dare to do that again!"
Ava Tan still had a gentle smile on his face. He closed the account book and said softly, "Old lady, I can forgive you, but will the dead Miss Tan forgive you..."
Clara was busy in the front hall.
As soon as she led the girls to the inner room of the Tan family pawnshop, she saw Aunt Zhai kneeling and kowtowing, while Ava Tan looked panicked: "What is Aunt Zhai doing?"
Clara was also startled. Aunt Zhai was always taking advantage of her age and seniority. What happened today?
Zhai's whole body was shaking like a sieve, and her lips were trembling constantly: "I shouldn't have stolen the money. I feel sorry for the young lady and my late master."
There was an uproar in the crowd, and Qing He frowned: "Girl, do you want to report to the police?"
According to the laws of Dayan, Zhai should be severely punished with twenty strokes of the cane and should return all the stolen money.
If there are twenty major penalties, you will only be left with a breath of fresh air.
Ava Tan seemed a little embarrassed: "But, after all, Zhai has been with us for such a long time."
The girl next to Clara couldn't stand it any longer and said indignantly: "We should report it to the police. Why didn't she take into account the relationship between master and servant when she bullied the master?"
"Yes, this kind of pawnshop with slaves is not worth having." A girl responded in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Lady Zhai stood up like a madman, with a frantic look on her face, and pushed away the onlookers: "Don't report to the police, or the ghost of Miss Tan will come looking for us!"
She hid behind a girl, hunched her back and observed Ava Tan carefully.
Ava Tan lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes blocked the flickering expression in his eyes.
Hearing Zhai's crazy talk, a girl went out and reported to the authorities. It was not until the officials came forward to arrest the person and dragged him away despite her screams that the Tan family pawnshop returned to peace.
In the farce just now, she took a fancy to a few capable girls who were calm and composed in the face of difficulties.
Three girls were specially left behind. Ava Tan distributed the employee rules he had prepared a few days ago to the three girls: "As you can see, I will never keep such a treacherous person. If you three have made up your mind to stay, it is better to be loyal to them."
She copied the employee manual one by one by hand. Although she was not good at calligraphy, she still left a stack of childish handwriting.
The employee rules only stated how to greet guests, how to introduce makeup styles, and so on.
Mingchan's eyes lit up, and he didn't hide his excitement: "Girl, when can the three of us start work?"
Maybe the news outside was too fantastic, the girl seemed a little impatient.
Ava Tan couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, this job is not as simple as you think. Watch me put on makeup and take care of my skin these days. Once you are proficient, it will be your turn to work."
Taking advantage of the fact that the store is closed these days, Ava Tan also plans to teach them a lesson.
These girls are all quite clever and can learn things quickly. Clara gets along well with them, and the Tan family pawnshop is filled with a rare sense of joy.
"Our Clara is a typical beauty. With a little dressing up, she can charm countless princes and nobles." Ava Tan looked at Clara's increasingly red face and smiled meaningfully.
Qing He lowered her head in shame, and kept complaining: "Miss, please don't tease me."
Seeing her triumphant look, Clara knew she had been cheated and pouted her lips in pretending to be angry.
Ava Tan is a college student in his twenties, and he enjoys playing the role of leader among this group of girls whose average age is sixteen or seventeen.
After studying the makeup that was suitable for several maids, Ava Tan showed off her skills to them. The maids who were ordinary at first were instantly transformed into graceful beauties under her skillful hands.
They are all at an age where they love beauty, and the girls first exclaimed in amazement and then laughed.
Now that Ava Tan had some money in his hands, he became more decisive in his actions.
She took a few girls to the street to buy a new set of clothes as work clothes, which made her look delicate and adorable. Only then did she nod with satisfaction.
Ava Tan has already made plans. Once the funds in his hands are turned around, he will reward them and help them make money and reach the peak of their lives.
She was dreaming of becoming famous, and the day for Emily Shen to get married had also arrived.
Ava Tan got up at the hour of Yin, lamenting that it was not easy to get married. She packed up her makeup in a daze and got on the carriage heading to Duke Shen's Mansion.
The entire Duke Shen's Mansion was filled with joy. The Shen family's eldest daughter was marrying into the royal family today and becoming the Second Prince's principal wife. This was a huge honor.
Emily Shen had already finished her makeup and was sitting in front of the dressing table waiting for her. When she saw her come in, she smiled and greeted her, "Mrs. Tan, thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Emily Shen is in much better spirits now. Her face is a little flushed today, and she looks shy and timid.
Ava Tan joked: "Our bride is so beautiful, Your Highness is so lucky."
The scar was slightly pink, and the old blood scab had fallen off, so it was much easier to cover. Ava Tan quickly applied base makeup and setting powder for her.
Emily Shen picked up the box of loose powder curiously: "Mrs. Tan's scented powder is so rare, are they all made by herself?"
"Yes, this is the only one in Beijing." Ava Tan said while his hands kept moving.
Emily Shen let her fiddle with it, and said thoughtfully: "The ones I use are excellent, why don't you sell me some, Tan Zhuangniang?"
Ava Tan smiled helplessly. She wanted to sell it, but this was a modern product and she didn't have so many happy beans to resell.
"Please forgive me, Miss Shen. This is made with my exclusive secret recipe and contains skin-nourishing ingredients. I don't have any leftovers now." Ava Tan explained to her carefully.
Emily Shen said with some regret: "Whenever Tan Zhuangniang sells perfume powder, remember to save some for me."
"I will definitely leave some for the princess." Ava Tan said with a smile.
A newlywed should be bright, generous, dignified and decent, with red makeup and wedding dress. Emily Shen was the one who stunned everyone today.
Pushing aside the screen that was used as a shield, Emily Shen said softly: "Mother."
A girl with a rosy face walked out of the inner room. She was different from other brides, more delicate and beautiful.
When people see her, they just say: The new bride is as beautiful as a jade-like slave, with a fair face like peach blossoms.
It was bright outside, and the atmosphere of the wedding became noisy and festive; the wedding procession arrived.
Ava Tan received a big red envelope as a reward from the wife of Duke Shen, and planned to go back to the pawnshop to have a good sleep.
She went around the side door, and just as she was about to enter, someone called out to her: "Are you Ling'er's personal maid?"
You can even run into people if you go through the side door.
Ava Tan looked at the person coming outside the door in confusion. He was wearing an eye-catching red robe and riding a tall horse. Who else could it be but the Second Prince?
It's really strange, she is dressed so much like a maid.
Ava Tan forced a smile and bowed to the man in the limelight: "Your Highness, I'm wrong. I'm just a makeup girl."
A familiar voice came: "Are you familiar with Tan Zhuangniang, second brother?"
It’s Nathan Li again.
Yes, the Second Prince is getting married, and Nathan Li, as the Emperor’s younger brother, should show up.
He was still wearing the same white clothes today, which was out of tune with the festive atmosphere of the wedding.
He didn't give the second prince any face at all.
The second prince looked at him with a strange look, but in the end he said nothing and rode his BMW to the main gate.
The relationship between these two brothers has reached its freezing point, and Ava Tan clicked his tongue twice.
Having watched many palace fighting dramas, she knew that the royal family was the coldest and indifferent. No matter how tolerable they seemed on the surface, when their interests conflicted, no one would be merciful.
After escaping from Nathan Li's groomsmen, Ava Tan hurried back to the pawnshop, fearing that he would run into someone he knew if he was a step late.
There was no chance for her to meet someone she was familiar with. She was accompanied by heart pain the whole time. The throbbing pain in her heart almost made her faint.
Ava Tan's face was pale, and he put more strength into the hand covering his heart.
It was the Second Prince’s wedding, and no member of Emily Shen’s family dared to stop him from entering, so he arrived at Emily Shen’s door smoothly.
"Why don't I remember there was such a little makeup girl in Hongzhuang Tower?" The second prince asked the servant beside him in a deep voice.
He didn't understand what Nathan Li meant. His younger brother was always sarcastic and never spoke directly to him.
Naturally, his personal attendant could not give him an answer.
Who knows when a beautiful lady will come to the Red Makeup Tower.
In the capital, copper coins and wedding candies were scattered all over the streets because of the wedding of the prince of Dayan, and everyone was in a joyous mood.
The scene outside the northern border is completely different.
The woods were filled with white mist, and in the beginning of autumn, there was a layer of frost on the ground.
There was a chill in the woods, and in the mist a few figures could be vaguely seen milling about, as if they were anxiously searching for something.
"Damn it, where did this kid go?" the man yelled in an angry voice.
A man with a gruff voice said, "I told you to find another place, but you chose such a haunted place and left us here like it's haunted."
People in their line of work are most afraid of this kind of thing happening.
Several bushes in the dense forest rustled, and two or three rabbits ran back and forth as if they were playing with them.
The cold wind whistled past, sounding like someone sobbing, and the thin man shivered.
The tall man didn't care and patted him on the shoulder: "Why are you in such a hurry? How can a little kid survive in this forest?"
There are many wild wolves in the northern suburbs of Dayan. If a wolf is hungry, it is not impossible for it to eat a child on the way.
If you leave the child in the northern suburbs, he will definitely die.
As if thinking of the sad child being ripped open by the wolf, the strong man laughed twice in a strange voice, which seemed a little strange in this lonely forest: "He shouldn't have blocked the master's way. He died in a foreign land at such a young age."
It is at such a critical moment,
The tall, thin man rubbed his arms and shivered from the cold: "Stop talking nonsense, it's more important to go back and report first."
The figures of the people were getting farther and farther away. The white fog did not dissipate, but became thicker and thicker.
Not far away, a dirty little head poked out from a bush.
