There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 24

"What are you laughing at, young lady?" Zhang Cuihua scratched her head.

"I once heard someone say that the little girl Lian is quite pretty, but Mr. Su said that she is a 'crooked melon and cracked jujube'... Puff puff puff..."

She was lying on the dressing table, her head buried in her arms, overjoyed.

Zhang Cuihua also laughed for a while, but she didn't know where the point was.

After a while, Liu Huixiang finished taking off her makeup.

Zhang Cuihua told the story of Lin Chuan inviting Su Xian to a restaurant for dinner...

Liu Huixiang did not listen carefully. She opened the drawer of the dressing table, took out boxes of cheap rouge and gouache, and placed them neatly on the table.

These cheap rouges were all purchased after they settled down in Leshou County.

Liu Huixiang has a bad reputation and dare not go out. Even when she goes out, she wears a power fence on her head. Her beautiful face has not seen the sun for a long time.

She no longer has the intention of wearing heavy makeup, and only applies light makeup every day.

Anyway, no one will come to see it, so what's the use of expensive rouge on your face?
These cheap rouges have been with her for many years.

But now, Liu Huixiang feels that they are not good enough...

"Cuihua." Liu Huixiang interrupted her chatter.

"What's your order, miss?"

"You go out tomorrow and go to the Spring Painting Hall in the east of the city to buy some useful rouge and gouache."

"?" Zhang Cuihua was startled.

"I remember that in the past, I liked to use 'Chun Huetang' rouge and gouache in my parents' house, and all the sisters in the boudoir also used that." She said with a trace of memory on her face.

"Miss, why..."

"Don't ask, just go and buy it." A slight blush appeared on her plump and fair cheeks. How could she have the nerve to reveal her daughter's little thoughts?
Fortunately, Zhang Cuihua didn't ask too much. She counted the copper coins, washed Liu Huixiang's feet, and then went out with the footbath.

Before going out, Liu Huixiang warned: "Buy the most expensive one!"

According to the previous schedule, I should blow out the oil lamp and go to bed now.

But I have no intention of sleeping tonight.

She took out the dresses piled at the bottom of the closet. They were her most beautiful and luxurious clothes, and they had been idle in the closet for several years.

Liu Huixiang was in high spirits and with a smile on her lips, she took out pieces of beautiful clothes and skirts and put them on the bed.

I fiddled around and picked out my favorite red skirt with gold moiré embroidery on the skirt, ready to try it on.

The result was embarrassing.

The dress is a good dress and she has an amazing figure.

But after all, I bought this skirt a few years ago, and it is a little too small when I wear it now.

Especially the chest, it's too tight.

does not fit!
But she also remembered that most of the direct gaze Su Xian looked at her today fell on her chest, and she knew that Su Xian liked her like this.

Nowadays, the atmosphere in Daliang is open, especially after the empress ascended the throne. It is said that the women in the palace are proud of "the grooves in their breasts" and are very economical in cutting the fabrics for their clothes.

The royal family leads the folk customs, making more and more men prefer women with broad minds...

"Eh!"

Liu Huixiang took off her skirt and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking silently in her heart that she had never bought one or two decent clothes in so many years.

The appearance of your daughter’s house is very important!
Soon, she had an idea in her mind. After putting all the clothes back into the closet, she slightly raised her voice and shouted, "Cuihua? Is Cuihua asleep?"

no respond.

Liu Huixiang pursed her lips and raised her voice again.

"What are your orders, Miss? My servant is here. Don't be anxious, Miss..."

It was very rare for the lady to call her in the middle of the night. Zhang Cuihua turned over and got up.

Dong dong dong

After a few breaths, Zhang Cuihua knocked on the door. She lived in the next room.

Liu Huixiang opened the door latch.

After Zhang Cuihua entered the house, she took a careful look at the situation inside the house. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief and then asked what her orders were.
"When you are shopping for rouge and gouache tomorrow, go to the cloth shop in the west of the city and bring back some pieces of silk..."

Under the oil lamp, Liu Huixiang explained in detail what kind of cloth was needed and how much of each kind of cloth was needed.

After finishing the instructions, Zhang Cuihua left.

Liu Huixiang put out the oil lamp and lay down on the couch, but still couldn't fall asleep.

So, she mentally imagined the details of the upcoming, beautiful skirt that would perfectly match her.

For example, where a pleat needs to be made, where a pattern needs to be embroidered, etc. It is detailed and complicated.

……

midnight.

Full moon.

If you look carefully, you can clearly see the dark lines on the moon's surface.

The entire Leshou County seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Except for a few prosperous streets and alleys, large areas were quiet, with only watchmen coming and going.

Pinyu Pavilion, the largest brothel in the city, Lin Chuan has been surrounded by a bunch of warblers and swallows.

In Zuixian Tower, Su Xian was full of wine and food. Because he had been poured a lot of wine, he fell asleep in a guest room of the restaurant and did not go back.

County government office, back house.

The back house was the residence of the county magistrate's family and was heavily guarded. However, suddenly there was a noise, and the county magistrate Tang Ju woke up from his sleep and sat up.

"Husband?" The county magistrate's wife was also awakened.

"Dad, it's me. My daughter has something important to report. It's related to the city wall murder case." Outside the door, a girl's clear voice came from far away.

"It's Jing'er." Tang Ju breathed a sigh of relief, put on a robe and opened the door with the county magistrate's wife waiting on him.

"Why is it so noisy?" Tang Ju came to the corridor outside the door, frowned at Tang Shujing, who was tall and tall with long legs, bangs and bangs.

He actually wanted to teach his daughter that as a woman, she should walk according to the rules.

After all, he, Tang Ju, is also a direct descendant of the Tang family...

But this thought only passed by for a moment. If preaching was useful, Tang Shujing would already be a qualified lady.

"Dad, that's a misunderstanding... My daughter led Captain Lin and they captured several bandit gangs!" Tang Shujing's delicate face was filled with excitement, as if to say: "Come and praise me."

"Bandit!" Tang Ju said in a deep voice and frowned.

While on duty at the Yamen today, Tang Shujing thought about it without any clue. She thought that she could try to break through from the group of bandits outside the city.

Tang Ju agreed.

But I didn’t expect to reap the rewards so quickly.

"Father, listen to me. My daughter went through a lot of effort, traveled all over the city, and even went to ask for advice..."

"Speak the key."

"Oh, my daughter took Lin Captou and the others and captured five bandits in an inn. Dad, you don't know that the bandits were all armed with weapons. At that time, my daughter calmly pulled out a sword and stepped forward. , holding the hilt of the sword..."

"Say the point!"

"Five bandits were captured, and one escaped. The man who escaped was very powerful. He didn't look like a bandit at all. He couldn't even beat his daughter. He only had sword wounds on his left arm and right calf... "

"You're not hurt, are you?" Tang Ju looked kind.

"No, dad, don't worry, my daughter is very skilled." Tang Shujing raised her delicate face, and her pointed chin seemed to be able to poke people.

"That's true..." Tang Ju smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling very regretful. Why did he send Tang Shujing to learn martial arts when she was young?

As a result, men are now no longer male, and women are no longer female.

How can I get married in the future?
"Instruct Chief Lin to interrogate him all night long, and be sure to get clues from the bandits." Tang Ju's face straightened leisurely.

"Daughter, I obey." Tang Shujing said in a high-spirited voice, holding the hem of her skirt in both hands and leaving quickly.

"Leave it to Mr. Lin for trial. As for you, go back to bed immediately!" Tang Ju ordered.

"Oh..." Tang Shujing's long, fast legs suddenly slowed down.
