After a cup of tea, the maid brought more tea to Su Wan. Su Wan asked Xiao Sang to sit down and let the maid who made the tea give her a cup. The two drank another cup before seeing Yu He and a group of people walking away holding a tray. Come in.
On the top of the tray, there are boxes of exquisite powder boxes.
"Miss Six, these are our latest powders." Yuhe asked someone to put down the boxes. He first showed her the light cigarettes Su Wan mentioned, then took a small bottle for trial use and picked out some. Have a maid try it on a small porcelain bowl the size of an egg.
The maid was dressed plainly and elegantly. She did not apply makeup, and just a touch of "Qingyan" lipstick was like an embellishment, making her dull color brighter.
Su Wan's eyes lit up and she felt very satisfied. Yuhe took out the new peach again and said it was very suitable for Su Wan's outfit today and asked her to try it. Su Wan was very satisfied with this 'light smoke'. She was also a little moved by Yuhe's strong recommendation of 'Xintao', so she wiped off her original lip makeup and asked Xiao Sang to put one on her using Xintao as a trial.
"Extremely beautiful." Yuhe's eyes lit up, "Sixth girl is indeed suitable for this."
There was no need for a mirror. Su Wan leaned on the railing of the waterside pavilion and took a look in the water. She looked at the flowers by the water, and they looked beautiful.
She has fair skin, a straight nose, slender eyebrows, and a pair of moist autumn eyes, especially the red lips, which are painted with this new peach, like plump peaches, pink and moist. , coupled with her lilac-colored clothes, it really matches well.
Su Wan was satisfied: "That's it, no need to wash it off."
Su Wan was in a good mood. She also picked out some other things, including powdered indigo and a new balm. She also bought two large boxes of motherwort facial powder.
Su Wan's eyes were opened after hearing about the various effects. Do you think there were no cosmetics and skin care products in ancient times? Then you are wrong. There were many tricks in ancient times.
For example, this eyebrow makeup, lip balm, rouge powder, and this motherwort facial powder, balm, toilet water, bath bean powder, mulberry peel powder.
Eyebrow is used for drawing eyebrows, lipstick is used for lip makeup or to prevent cracking, gouache is used as foundation powder, rouge is similar to blush, and motherwort facial powder is similar to a facial mask. Just add some water to make a paste and apply it on your face. Beauty and skin care effects.
Bath bean powder is used for bathing. The cheap bath bean powder is simple, but the expensive ones add a lot of medicinal materials that are good for the human body. The powder made from the bark of mulberry bark can be used to wash hair and treat hair. Hair loss, dandruff, itchy scalp, etc.
Su Wan chose some and gave up. Although the items were good and she was not short of money, the shelf life of these items was still limited, and she really couldn't use them too much.
In addition, Xiao Sang chose two kinds of powder and gave them to her and Xiao Bao. These two were the maids around Su Wan, and they took good care of others. Su Wan didn't want to treat them badly.
Yuhe ordered someone to pack the things Su Wan picked and then delivered them to the carriage himself. Xiao Sang took the money to settle the bill, and the group left Yuxiang Pavilion. It was almost noon.
Su Wan said: "There is no point in going back now. Why not go to Fengxue Tower to listen to books and have tea, and go back later."
Xiao Sang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, girl, let's go have tea and listen to a book."
Fengxue Tower is a famous teahouse in the Imperial City, where you can listen to books, watch plays, taste tea and eat snacks. It is a good place for the people of the Imperial City to spend their time, and it is also a good place to inquire about news and eat melons. Whenever the people of the Imperial City are free, Then go there.
Therefore, the two guards did not doubt that he was there and asked the coachman to drive over. Then the group got on the carriage and rushed to Fengxue Tower. When they arrived at the door, a guard quickly stepped forward to Dingya Room. The coachman drove to park the car. Xiao Sang She and one of the guards protected Su Wan as she walked inside to prevent people coming and going from bumping into her.
By the time the three of them entered the gate of Fengxue Tower, the guard had already reserved the private room and was in Cangxue Pavilion on the second floor.
Fengxue Tower has three floors in total and is square in shape, with attics on all sides and a large courtyard in the middle. There is a high platform in the large courtyard, where there are usually storytellers or opera singers.
The first floor is the lobby, which has tables and chairs placed on the spot. It caters to ordinary people. For about one penny of silver (0.1 tael of silver, about 100 copper coins), you can find a place on the first floor to drink tea and eat. I would eat some things, listen to books and drink tea all day long.
The second floor is divided into private rooms. A corridor is built in the middle of the house to separate the left and right sides of the house. If you like listening to music and watching operas, there is a private room next to the courtyard window. If you like to watch the scenery, there is a private room next to Bibo Lake. Private rooms, if you want to watch people coming and going on the street, there are also private rooms near the street.
After careful calculation, a loft is divided in the middle, and each is divided into four private rooms, that is, eight private rooms, a total of four small buildings. Therefore, on this second floor, there are thirty-two private rooms. Each of these thirty-two elegant rooms has some elegant names.
The private rooms on the third floor are twice as large as those on the second floor. The number of private rooms has changed from thirty-two to sixteen. These sixteen private rooms are named after seasons. Li Lin The Qiulanju where I am located is one of the Four Qiu Yajian.
When a group of people went to Cangxue Pavilion, the second brother came to ask about tea and snacks. Su Wan had eaten Lushan Yunwu, so he ordered white peony this time. A tea doctor came to get water to make tea. After a while, the aroma of tea overflowed. , Su Wan was eating cakes and drinking tea, feeling pretty good.
After eating for a while, she said: "The melon seed cakes on the South Street are delicious with this tea, and the sauce cakes on the North Street. You two go and run for me."
When the two guards heard this, they looked at each other with some reluctance. One of them said: "Miss Six, why don't you wait a moment? I'll buy melon seed cakes first, and then buy sauce pancakes."
Su Wan raised his eyebrows, but said: "Doesn't it mean that I will leave after you buy it? You can go ahead. Don't worry about my safety. I'm just sitting here eating tea and listening to books. What danger can there be?"
"Go quickly, I'm still waiting to eat, what? Can't I help you?!"
These two people were under Su Xun. How could they dare to be disrespectful to their master, Su Wan? When he saw his girl, he nodded, saluted and went downstairs to buy things.
When Su Wan saw the two leaving, he immediately waved Dr. Cha to go down, and then left Cangxue Pavilion with Xiao Sang.
Xiao Sang had a confused expression on her face. As soon as she walked into the corridor, she asked: "Girl, where are we going?! We..."
"Shh!" Su Wan motioned her not to speak loudly, "Let's go upstairs to meet someone."
Xiao Sang was startled: "Who are you meeting?!"
"Meet Mr. Li?!"
Xiao Sang was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned pale: "Wha, what Mr. Li?!"
