I'm the villain

Chapter 473 Keeping Filial Piety for the Emperor

"This is also one, give it away!"

The scholar scratched his head anxiously. He never expected that he would be stumped by such a question after studying hard for many years.I was shy in my pocket and wanted to give my wife something. I thought I would give cheap and big rouge on the street, but when I heard these people say it, I felt bad.

He can't afford expensive ones, so what should he do?
The scholar was in a hurry, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted at the top of his voice.

"Rouge is bitter and not tasty!"

"..." Everyone was silent for a second before bursting into laughter.

Liu Yuqiong suppressed a smile, nodded and said, "That counts! Ah Yi, give this talented scholar who loves rouge a colorless lip balm."

"Let us invite a girl who does not want to be named."

Liu Yuqiong waved her hand, A Miao came up with a veil, and the veils hanging from the hairpins on both sides covered half of her face, but the narrow and long eyebrows and eyes were reflected vividly and beautifully.The blush at the corners of the eyes is light and natural, without any intention of overwhelming the other, and even if you don't look closely, you can't even see it clearly, but forcibly softening the eyebrows and eyes of an ice beauty, the performance is extremely good.

"Everyone, please take a look." Liu Yuqiong gave the black handkerchief to A Miao.

A Miao took it and rubbed it on his face, then returned it to him.

Liu Yuqiong was also taken aback when she got the handkerchief. It's not like he's never seen other people use makeup, but it's not easy to fall off like this. He really hasn't seen it.On the black veil, there was only a little trace.

He passed the black handkerchief to the audience, which sparked discussions.

"Won't it fall?"

"Could it be oil?"

"It looks clean, and it doesn't look like oil. It does have a floral fragrance, but I can't smell what it is."

"Everyone wants to ask a lot of questions. I will answer them one by one next time. Some girls say that the rouge is too dry, some think it is too oily, it is not easy to use, the color is too gaudy...it tastes bad." Liu Yuqiong took the rouge that Ah Yi brought up. Things, put them on the table just set.

Five wooden boxes and one small bottle.

Everyone in the audience stared at those things closely, guessing what they were writing.

"After a long period of exploration in Xunfang Pavilion, I found that there are three main problems with rouge on the market. The color is single and the applicability is not wide enough. It is too thick and it is difficult to draw a perfect makeup. Another point is what the scholar just said, the taste not good."

The crowd laughed again.

Holding the colorless lip balm, Xiucai was thinking about how to bring home another item for his wife, so he didn't care how other people laughed.

"Bad smell, bad taste. Have you ever thought of another problem, bad for your health?"

Poor health?Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, this kind of statement had never been heard before.

"Sisters, sisters, brothers and brothers present here, how many of them have used lead white coverings? Can you hold out your hand and let me have a look?"

The audience raised their hands, Liu Yuqiong sighed, and said with grief: "That's a life-threatening beauty! That thing can't be used!"

The judges were in a mess, discussing in a hurry.Seeing that they were about to argue, Liu Yuqiong quickly followed what A Miao said, and said, "A doctor from an overseas fairy mountain once told me that lead in alchemy is highly poisonous."

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

The old emperor was obsessed with alchemy, and people at that time believed in it quite a bit. Hearing this kind of talk suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable.

poisonous?

The emperor used it every day, and it was always sold in the powder shop, so why didn't anything happen?

There was a lot of discussion about the matter of Xiaoming, and Liu Yuqiong wanted to talk about it several times, but was overwhelmed by the voices of the audience.The new product hasn't been introduced yet, so why go off topic?He looked at A Miao, and A Miao was also helpless.

"I wanted to use lead poison to attract new makeup powder. It was my mistake. I didn't expect them to care so much."

How much has this been used?Amy sighed inwardly.Mrs. Liu hardly used makeup, and no one used it in Gouwa Village before. She didn't meet many people, and she didn't see too many people who used makeup. She didn't expect so many people to use lead as powder to cover their faces.

Listening to the content of the speech, most of the audience have used it.

Liu Yuqiong asked the third question, trying to bring the topic back.

"Next question, what color rouge have you bought!"

"Cinnabar color! Scarlet red!"

"From now on, the whole city will hang the white March! Don't eat meat!"

Soldiers sitting on tall horses walked through the streets and alleys, chopping off the red lanterns hanging on the streets with long knives in their hands.When everyone saw this, they ran away one after another. Those in festive clothes quickly took off their clothes and put them on in reverse.

The horse galloped all the way, and when they reached the brothel street and saw the bustling people on the street, the soldiers directly threw their long knives onto the platform.

"From now on, no festive marriages are allowed! No red or green clothes are allowed! Hang white in the whole city, don't eat meat, and keep filial piety for the emperor!"

The long knife fell to Liu Yuqiong's feet. He looked up at the soldiers sitting on horses who were taller than standing on the platform, suppressed the joy in his heart, and quickly tore off the colorful cloth strips.Throwing a few boxes of rouge off the stage, he said at the top of his voice, "Close the booth! Replace them all with white ones!"

The workers were frightened at first, but when the boss told them, they hurriedly got busy.

The flow of people was surging, and everyone dispersed in all directions, for fear of causing trouble to the upper body.The brothel decorated with lights and festoons also closed its doors and turned off the lights.

Xiucai held the rouge that fell into his arms, feeling a little dazed.For a moment, I didn't know whether to feel that I was lucky, or to pity myself for finally being admitted to the scholar, but I didn't have the chance to take the exam next year.Keeping filial piety for the emperor, the old emperor died!

Next year's test will fall through!

Liu Lin, who was sitting behind a screen in the store waiting to go on stage, was dumbfounded when he heard the sound.

"Emperor, keep your filial piety!" The master said, the new emperor came to power to open Enke.Whether there will be a test next year is unknown.Liu Lin was a little frustrated. He studied hard for a long time, just wanting to pass the exam as soon as possible.

Liu Yuqiong hurried in from the outside, took off her indigo clothes to reveal her white lining, and squatted in front of the boxes full of goods, crying and laughing.

"It's too much to memorize! Zhang Luo has been waiting for a whole year to make money today! It's not a good time to die, but now!"

As the group returned home, all the red lanterns were taken down along the way, leaving only fragments of firecrackers on the ground, which turned blood red when illuminated by the light.

Mrs. Liu had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when she heard the movement, she hurriedly opened the door.Seeing Liu Yuqiong and Liu Lin like eggplants beaten by Shuang, he said a few words of comfort and hurriedly asked people to come in.

"Come in, change all your clothes, I'm ready."

Bai Qing was about to fall asleep a long time ago, and followed A Miao's footsteps all the way to A Miao's room.When Liu saw it, she couldn't laugh or cry.

The second day, New Year's Day.

What should have been a bustling day was extremely depressed amidst the constant patrols by the government.

No one was allowed to go to the streets, only shops like pharmacies were open.

Not happy, all the children playing in the street were reprimanded, and they were blocked in front of the brothel, and many men who went to the women's ticket yesterday were arrested.Regardless of whether you do it or not, you will be thrown into prison first, and the family will redeem you with money.

Liu Yuqiong went out for a trip, brought back the news, and happily talked about the embarrassment of those people.

"Our shop and other shops on the street did not dare to open, but those brothels are bold enough to let people out."

Mrs. Liu knew from Liu Lin what Brother Qiong had done yesterday, so she grabbed the door latch and beat him directly.

"Take my sister to perform on stage, Liu Yuqiong, Liu Yuqiong, you can do anything! It's just right, don't do anything this month, and reflect on me in the room!"

Liu Yuqiong told a group of people, just please don't leak the news.A Miao wouldn't say it, and neither would my cousin.

Then... "Liu Mumu didn't expect you to be framed even though you look like an honest person!" Liu Yuqiong exploded.Introspection is a small matter, but being sued is a major matter.
