There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 37

In the boudoir behind the small stage, the girl with a sweet smile breathed a sigh of relief.

The maid came back just now to report that Su Xian had arrived.

She picked up the bronze mirror that was upside down on the table of the dressing table, took a final look at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to start the poetry banquet."

"Yes!"

……

In the large box in front, Su Xian and Lin Chuan were already seated.

The people Miss Xiaoxian Zi invited were all prominent or wealthy people in Leshou County.

First, there were about a dozen students from the county school, dressed in Confucian shirts, gathered around a table, chatting in low voices.

Leshou County is a medium-sized county, and the county school can enroll 25 students.People who can read these days are either from aristocratic families or from wealthy families, so these students have enough spare money to participate in this poetry banquet.

In addition, there are the officials, squires, celebrities, merchants, etc. in the city.

Su Xian and Lin Chuan arrived relatively late, so they could only sit at the same table with low-status businessmen, far away from their classmates in the county school.

However, Su Xian and Lin Chuan did not have a good relationship with their classmates in the county school. It would be better if they did not sit together, otherwise various conflicts would inevitably arise.

Neither of them had any doubts about the admiration that just happened outside the door. They were just surprised that Miss Xiaoxian Zi’s personal maid turned out to be a practicing practitioner...

As soon as the two of them sat down, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded in the box.

The curtains covering the small stage slowly opened to both sides.

Everyone in the box stared intently at the slowly opening curtain. Su Xian drank tea, knocked the melon seeds on the plate on the table, and stared in the direction of the stage.

This operation was a bit tantalizing, and even Su Xian was curious about what was behind the curtain.

Finally, the curtain was opened a crack, revealing the stage layout, as well as a section of skirt with embroidered cloud patterns. A small and beautiful foot wearing embroidered shoes had a straight arch, and the toe of the shoe touched the ground gently.

The first performance was supposed to be a dance, and there was a lot of applause in the box.

The hem of the skirt and the raised feet alone can bring people endless reverie.

As the curtain slowly opened, the little hands and waist of the dancer on the stage fell out.

The little hands were white and tender, the waist was soft, and they made a dancing pose. Although the head was not exposed yet, it was enough to attract howls of ghosts and wolves.

Su Xian watched with interest, keeping the melon seeds and tea flowing, staring straight in the direction of the stage.

Finally, the curtain was completely opened, and the face of the dancer on the stage was revealed...

Su Xian was stunned for a moment.

Then he lowered his head silently and said sorry.

He focused on the melon seeds, seasonal fruits, and pastries on the plate, but the food was more attractive.

Except for Su Xian, all the other guests thought it was wonderful. They slapped the table and shouted in harsh voices. Su Xian was the only one who lowered his head and paid attention to the tea and pastries. He was a complete outlier.

Lin Chuan cheered for a while, then suddenly saw something strange about Su Xian, and hurriedly pulled him and said, "Brother Su, look, this girl dances so wonderfully."

"Crooked melon and cracked date!" Su Xian commented without raising his head.

Lin Chuan and the businessmen at the same table looked at Su Xian in surprise, then ignored him.

After a while, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped, the refreshments on the table had been removed, and delicious dishes were served one after another, exuding an appetite-inducing aroma.

Su Xian moved his index finger and ignored the people at the same table who were attracted by the stage. He ate happily alone and frequently raised his chopsticks.

"It's Miss Su'er, the waiter from the 'Yao Yue Lou' next door!" Lin Chuan was excited about these people and introduced him to Su Xian.

However, Lin Chuan saw Su Xian concentrating on a piece of braised fish and eating it with gusto.

Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed Su Xian's shoulder and shook it and said, "Brother Su, look, look quickly, that's girl Su'er from the Qing Dynasty. She is very good at the water sleeve dance and is the top star of the 'Yao Yue Lou' next door. "

Su Xian looked up at the stage and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl jumping up and down on the stage.

"She is vulgar, but her clothes are not bad." Su Xian commented, and then continued to work on the braised fish on the plate.

It's not that Su Xian is pretending to be sophisticated, he really doesn't like it.

The dancing lady on Station B raised his level of appreciation, and it was hard for him to appreciate ordinary fans.

Furthermore, this body is relatively thin and has a strong desire for meat. Although Lin Chuan was given a free meal the day before yesterday, how could it be enough?
He wants to eat a lot of meat!
What Su Xian, Lin Chuan and others didn't know was that a maid dressed as a maid had been hiding behind a screen and secretly paying attention to Su Xian's words and deeds.

She quickly left the box, went to the boudoir behind the stage, and told the girl with a sweet smile one by one the results of her observations.

The girl nodded imperceptibly, waved her hand and said, "Keep staring."

When the maid returned to the box and hid behind the screen to continue watching, Miss Su'er's dance performance had ended, and now a singer was singing.

Su Xian still buried his head in eating.

After a while, there were thunderous cheers in the box. When Su Xian was surprised, Lin Chuan leaned over and explained: "Brother Su, look, Miss Xiao Lian is here. Miss Xiao Lian is the face of our Yingzhou. Brother Su Look."

At this time, Su Xian was chewing on a sheep's hoof. He looked up and commented: "The appearance is acceptable." He paused for a while and added: "It's so fancy!"

Then continue to concentrate on dealing with the sheep's hoof. For a person who has been hungry for a long time, the pleasure of eating meat is better than that of a woman, unless there is a very beautiful woman.

Su Xian's evaluation was based on Liu Huixiang and the girl he met by chance in Zuixian Tower.

Miss Xiao Lian is actually not bad, but in front of Liu Huixiang and that girl, she is much inferior.

The businessmen at the same table looked sideways and then shook their heads. They all thought that Su Xian was the kind of person who "pretends to be sophisticated". They had seen this kind of person too many times and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

At this time, a plate of large elbows was served. The skin was golden and buttery, and the fat and thin were distinct. A large bone rod stretched out, like a "handle".

Su Xian dropped the half-eaten sheep's hoof, took the big elbow in his hand and opened his mouth to gnaw.

Almost all the guests at the same table were paying attention to the stage and didn't move their chopsticks much. This was an advantage for Su Xian. The feeling of eating and chewing was really delicious!

After gnawing on the elbow for a while, the box suddenly erupted with a louder noise than when Miss Xiao Lian appeared before. She slapped the table, hammered her legs, and screamed like a ghost.

Su Xian felt like his ears were going deaf.

Lin Chuan leaned over at the right time, incoherently excited: "Su...Brother Su, heavy...head..."

Su Xianzheng took a bite of the lean meat on his big elbow and asked inarticulately: "What's the big head?"

However, Lin Chuan had forgotten about Su Xian. He wiped his saliva and stared at the stage, completely entranced.

Su Xian shook his head and concentrated on dealing with the big elbow.

On the stage, the girl with a sweet smile has begun to dance, walking in elegant steps, with an extremely sweet smile that seems to melt people's hearts.

Instead, the box became quiet.

Everyone was staring at the beautiful figure on the stage.

Except Su Xian.

The girl was condescending on the stage, and she glanced at Su Xian who was chewing his elbow. He was so out of place and seemed to have no interest in the beauty on the stage.

Her smile remained unchanged on the surface, but her heart slowly sank.

Just now, the maid who was following Su Xian reported that Su Xian only knew how to eat and had no interest in the dancing of beautiful women.

The girl was quite happy after hearing this. How could those vulgar fans compare with her?
But now, she was on stage in person, and Su Xian was still engrossed in eating, without even looking up...

This made the girl feel extremely unhappy.

Could it be that in Su Xian's eyes, she was also classified as a vulgar fan?
This made her very angry!
