Su Wan'er glared at Su Zhaoxin helplessly and said, "For your sake as an elder sister, I'll deal with you when I get home."
With what just happened
The atmosphere of the entire poetry meeting was inexplicably much more lively than when Su Changan first came in.
But it may also be because there are more and more people.
There were more and more people gathering in groups, listening to people who had just seen what happened talking about Le Zongjie, and from time to time, there were sounds of laughter.
but
However, no one came to disturb Su Changan, Su Linhan and the others anymore.
It’s not that no one wants to talk.
With such a beautiful woman sitting there, who wouldn’t want to say a few words?
However, the news about Le Zongjie just now spread, and I was really afraid that I would become the next joke about Le Zongjie.
After all, having Le Zongjie to entertain us at tonight's poetry reading is enough.
Su Chang was happy that no one disturbed him, but
He felt that he had arrived a little too early.
Because Su Linhan was asked, Su Linhan said that at the beginning, Xun Kuang and several other officials from the Imperial College would come out.
But now look at the main seat shed
Not only was there no one there, there wasn't even any snacks on the table, which made it clear the party hadn't started yet.
Su Changan regrets it
He regretted not bringing anything to eat with him when he came. He felt a little hungry just sitting there.
But this time.
Su Changan saw groups of men and women not far away making way for him.
And there on the road was a girl who looked young.
Makeup on the girl's face.
A bit gaudy!
The white rouge was applied on the face. Although it didn't look out of place because it was also applied on the neck, it still looked a bit unnatural.
The bright red lipstick, also known as lip balm, is also particularly eye-catching.
Plus a pink dress.
This look is suddenly somewhat different from the simple and elegant style of the entire poetry gathering.
but
Su Changan noticed that after this girl appeared, even domineering playboys like Le Zongjie became silent.
Those who were closer to the girl even bowed slightly to her.
Su Linhan whispered to Su Changan, "She is Li Xingyue, the only daughter of the Right Prime Minister, and the niece of the current Queen Mother. She is very much loved by the Queen Mother, but she has a strange temper and is moody, so many people dare not offend her."
Su Changan nodded slightly. No wonder everyone here was so afraid of her. This family was indeed one of the most powerful among the second-generation officials.
Li Xingyue walked along, ignoring everyone. When she saw Su Linhan, she nodded slightly, and finally looked deeply at Su Changan.
Under the guidance of the guide from the Imperial College, he sat next to Su Changan and the others.
Su Changan frowned slightly and looked at Li Xingyue a few more times.
But he accidentally met Li Xingyue's eyes.
Su Changan smiled gently.
But Li Xingyue just turned her head away.
In desperation, Su Changan had to turn back, but in his heart.
Lead powder?
The smell was exactly the same as the one I smelled when the cat showed it to me.
But does a grown-up lady need to use that kind of cheap rouge?
And
Still poisonous.
Or.
I was wrong, it's not lead powder.
After thinking for a while, Su Changan was too lazy to think about it anymore.
After all, if you think about it carefully, there is no need for someone of Li Xingyue's status to use lead powder.
After all, lead powder is poisonous.
Women put on makeup by applying powder, rouge, drawing eyebrows, dimples, applying flower ornaments, drawing rouge, and putting on lip balm.
As for the face powders here, rich people would naturally use the more expensive and better ones to apply on their faces.
But poor families used lead powder.
This is what is meant by 'washing away all the dross'.
Lead powder is cheap and can whiten the skin and conceal blemishes when applied on the face.
Therefore, many girls from common families, or some girls who care particularly about their beauty, would look for lead powder.
Merchants would even mix some Western spices into the lead powder and sell it as "Yingdie Powder".
But
No matter what, if it's poisonous, it's poisonous!
If you apply it for a long time, it will be harmful to your skin and body.
If it lasts for a long time, it is more likely to cause disease or even death.
The reason why Su Changan knew all this was actually because Maomao had a box of lead powder, but Maomao didn't use it for makeup, but for research.
Su Changan saw it by accident, so Maomao explained it to Su Changan and naturally remembered the smell.
There are more and more people in the inner courtyard.
Everyone seemed to know that this year's early winter poetry reading was about to begin, and they took their seats one after another.
In addition, delicious food and fine wine were placed on the table one after another by the maids and servants who were dressed in gorgeous clothes.
And it was at the main seat at the front of all the tables in the inner courtyard.
Someone got on the seat immediately.
In addition to Xun Kuang, there was also a middle-aged woman who looked like a female teacher and an old Confucian scholar sitting there.
Maybe it looks like it's almost done.
The old scholar stood up and walked forward, holding up his glass and saying loudly: "I am honored to be with you students today to participate in this early winter poetry gathering. I would like to offer you a toast first."
After that, drink it all in one gulp.
Everyone knew that this old gentleman was a famous scholar in the Imperial College and had once served as a Grand Secretary. Naturally, no one dared to neglect him and stood up with wine glasses in both hands.
but
Before everyone has finished their drinks
That untimely and childish voice reached everyone's ears.
"My elder sister is allergic to alcohol." Su Zhaoxin shouted at the old man at the top of his voice. After shouting, he looked back and added, "She is also allergic to tea."
…………
Chapter 26 Early Winter Poetry Festival (I)
The people in the poetry reading, who were holding their cups, stopped holding their hands, and everyone's eyes were naturally focused on the little boy standing on the chair.
Everyone looked surprised, then surprised, and finally everyone looked at each other and then at the little boy who seemed really strange to them.
But in the end, everyone's eyes fell on Su Changan.
Su Zhaoxin's shout certainly made them confused.
But the source is you, Miss Su!
You cannot refuse a toast from an elder, this is etiquette.
And this old man is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette.
Some people frowned slightly, looked at the old master on the stage, and then looked at Su Changan. There was no surprise on their faces just now, only a little worry, and they only felt that Su Changan was about to be punished.
After all, this old scholar is not an ordinary person. I heard that even the old Grand Tutor Su was scolded by this old scholar.
Among them, Le Zongjie was the happiest.
I just feel that you, Su Changan, just used "allergy" to humiliate me, and now you are stupid enough to use "allergy" to respond to the toast from the elders.
Have you read the book? !
Do you know etiquette? !
The rumor on the street is that you are some country girl, you don’t even know the rules, you are worse than a village girl!!
Get ready to be scolded and have a bad reputation!
The more he thought about it, the happier Le Zongjie became. He just wanted the old scholar to curse faster.
The old scholar glanced at Su Zhaoxin, then looked at Su Changan who was standing next to him: "Su Changan?"
Su Changan was also a little confused by this social gangster Su Zhaoxin.
When I reacted, I realized that everyone was looking at me.
