Chapter 240: Chapter 241: Opening (Third Update)_1

Nan Feng pinched the chubby girl’s face, then laughed and said, "The person who truly cherishes you wouldn’t care how you look, whether you’re fat, thin, dark, short, they would like you anyway. However, Aqiu is also right, if you like him, you may want to show him your best side. Therefore, making some timely changes can be a good idea."

The chubby girl widened her smile, "Nan Feng always knows what to say. I accept these words coming from her. I will definitely lose some weight to make myself prettier. If Nan Feng can transform from an ugly duckling to a beauty, so can I."

"Right, let’s work hard together," Nan Feng patted the chubby girl’s shoulder.

Once all the girls had changed their clothes, they lined up to view themselves in the mirror, each admiring their own reflections and reluctant to change out of their outfits.

...

That night, Nan Feng spread a large mat on the floor in her room and lit some incense. Then, she and the girls all squeezed onto the large mat, one by one they lay down, enjoying the warm ambiance.

At first, everyone was excitedly chatting. As they gradually grew tired, the volume of their conversation lowered. At some point, one by one, they drifted off to sleep. All that was left in the room was the faint scent of incense and the occasional soft snore from the chubby girl.

The night grew deep.

Nan Feng looked at the bright moon outside the window, praying for a smooth opening tomorrow, and finally closing her eyes to join the others in sleep.

...

Early the next morning, the girls woke up and began chirping away.

Nan Feng handed over the basins and washcloths she had bought the day before for the girls to use. Then she gave them some willow twigs to brush their teeth. After leaving to buy them breakfast, she took the time after their meal to help them get ready.

Nan Feng had already learned how to style hair like the city folk. While she was styling other girls’ hair, Aqiu quickly picked up the technique from watching her and started to help style the others’ hair in turn.

After their hair was done, Nan Feng applied a light layer of rouge to their cheeks. After this round of grooming, they looked no different from the girls in the city.

Later, the chubby girl asked Nan Feng, "Nan Feng, we are all dressed up and looking pretty. Why are you still in your old clothes and haven’t done your hair?"

Nan Feng blinked her bright eyes and said, "It’s okay, I’ll take my turn last."

"What does ’take my turn last’ mean?" the chubby girl asked. The other girls didn’t understand either.

Nan Feng laughed and explained, "It means I’ll help all of you get ready first, and I’ll be the last to dress up."

"Oh, I see."

When Nan Feng changed into her new outfit, styled her hair and finally pinned the white jade hairpin that Ye Ge had given her into her hair, the group of girls simply exploded with admiration.

"Nan Feng, you’re so beautiful, so beautiful that you could step right out of a painting."

"Who would have thought, Nan Feng is actually a breathtaking beauty, a town’s flower indeed."

"What town’s flower? She is clearly the most beautiful woman in all Ping County!"

Nan Feng laughed and said, "Alright, alright, it’s not just me who’s beautiful now, you all are as well. We are going to open Spikenard Square at noon, everyone should leave via the back door first and then head to the front."

After Nan Feng arranged their tasks, the bunch of girls obeyed her orders like they had just been given their marching orders.

...

Noon.

Yongest Street gradually became busy with pedestrians. As this was a women’s street, there were groups of ladies strolling about.

Although there were some daughters of wealthy families who rarely left their boudoirs, they sent their maids and nursemaids out to shop. If they saw something good, they would buy it. Some daughters from privileged backgrounds, mostly seen touring in their sedans curtained with gauze. These young ladies didn’t alight; if they saw something they liked along the way, they would ask their servants to buy it for them.
