Seeing that Li Cangyue took off her veil and sat at the banquet, those people were very happy. After concentrating on looking at Li Cangyue's face, they were all shocked, feeling that they hadn't participated in this fun for nothing.
Some people had the courage to toast to Li Cangyue after paying respects to Mrs. Ruan.
Li Cangyue excuses that she doesn't know how to drink, and uses tea instead of wine to accompany her.
Those men were not dissatisfied either. They were very happy to have the opportunity to toast with Li Cangyue.
After leaving the elegant room and returning to their own seats, the people around asked them one after another whether Li Cangyue was a beauty and what she looked like.
People who have seen it will say with aftertaste: "She? She is a peerless beauty, an indescribable beauty."
It caused the people on the table to scratch their ears and cheeks, and looked up at the upstairs.
Some people said: "Li Cangyue is not completely unapproachable, she doesn't look unreasonable."
Someone laughed and said, "I'm afraid she was frightened by the man who was chasing her, so she deliberately put on that appearance outside."
Those who had clinked glasses with Li Cangyue at the banquet all nodded in agreement.
When the wine was half drunk, Li Cangyue said to Madam Ruan, "Excuse me!"
Madam Ruan asked with a smile, "Where is Professor Li going?"
Li Cangyue said calmly: "A lot of colleagues came to pay respects to me just now, so I will pay back."
Madam Ruan smiled and nodded indifferently. This is a normal human relationship.
Li Cangyue went out with a cup of tea.
She first went to the four boxes on the third floor to toast. Except for the relatives of the Ruan family, all the deacons and other people with authority in the Taoist temple were seated here.
Most of these people are a little older, and most of them have children.
Seeing Li Cangyue come in to toast, they were a little surprised.
They all smiled and got up and took a sip of wine. When she left, they all smiled and said that Li Cangyue was not unreasonable.
After toasting the wine on the third floor, Li Cangyue went down to the second floor.
As soon as she appeared with a cup on the second floor, there was no sound on the second floor. Everyone stared at her dumbfounded.
Li Cangyue stood up from the side of the stairs, toasted and said, "Cangyue respects everyone, thank you colleagues for your care, please forgive me if I make mistakes on weekdays!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the people at this table never expected that she would come to toast, and hurriedly raised their glasses and stood up with a smile, feeling flattered.
Li Cangyue toasted calmly, toasted five tables in a row, and came to the sixth table.
Sitting at this table are Huai Mengde and other Taoist priests who often do missions outside. They came to join in the fun.
Seeing that the legendary Li Cangyue was really unparalleled in beauty and even came to toast with them, they all felt that this time it was really not in vain. The people at this table were not familiar with the Ruan family, so no one was ashamed to toast with the Ruan family.
Li Huaide glanced at Li Cangyue appreciatively, then lowered his head. Do not see evil, do you understand
After just one glance, he felt a little moved again. He hurriedly suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and warned himself not to mess with flowers and grass, but to wait for his junior sister to arrive.
Li Huaide kept the etiquette, but other Taoist priests did not.
Taoist priests who often do missions outside are a little informal.
Because once out on a mission, Zhenxin may not be able to return safely.
You Xuan happened to be standing next to Li Cangyue, and when he saw the tea in her cup, he became suspicious, and when he smelled the tea, he yelled, "Li Cangyue, what's in your cup?"
Li Cangyue said calmly: "I don't know how to drink, and I will present you with tea instead of wine."
You Xuan quit, and said: "That won't work, how can there be no alcohol on the wine table? I don't care if you drink more or less, it must be wine."
When he said this, the other young Taoist priests booed.
Li Cangyue showed a look of embarrassment.
You Xuan smiled strangely: "Li Cangyue, do you want me to kneel down and beg you to drink?"
After speaking, he made a gesture to kneel in front of Li Cangyue.
When some men force beautiful women to drink, they really do everything they can. There is no means they can't use, and the face will suddenly disappear at that time.
How dare Li Cangyue make him kneel down. If he really knelt down, everyone would not know what to say about her tomorrow.
Li Cangyue stretched out her hand to support You Xuan's arm, stopped him from falling, and said with a sweet smile, "Why is this so, I'll just take a sip."
All the men around were staring at her, her smile was like a snow lotus blooming, and all the young men were fascinated by it.
Li Cangyue took another glass, took the jug on the table, poured a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "I respect you all!"
Everyone hurriedly toasted and drank, and no one made things difficult for her this time.
Li Cangyue nodded calmly to everyone, then went to the next table to toast.
You Xuanchi looked at her back and said in a low voice: "If she smiled at me like this every day, I would rather live ten years less."
"Hold the grass, I would like to lose twenty years of my life." Another Taoist cursed with a low laugh.
Li Huaide didn't say a word, and lowered his head to touch his fiercely beating heart. Distressed thoughts: Damn, how could I be tempted by another woman. No, I can't see this Li Cangyue again in the future.
But hearing what You Xuan and others said, he felt very upset again. He really felt that these people were not good enough for Li Cangyue.
After toasting the wine on the second floor, Li Cangyue went back to the third floor.
The people on the first floor were too complicated, she had seen it before going upstairs. In addition to the disciples of the Taoist monastery, there are also some people dressed in secular clothes. Those people, in her current capacity, don't need to socialize. Disciples don't need to toast, and she doesn't know people in the world, so she doesn't need to toast.
After sitting at the banquet for a while, Li Cangyue felt that it was almost done, she bid farewell to Madam Ruan, put on a veil and went downstairs.
When she got downstairs, she took out the paper horse, mounted it lightly, and rode back to the monastery.
The next day, Li Cangyue once again became a hot topic of discussion among the disciples of the Taoist academy.
Because, many people at the banquet boasted that they had seen Li Cangyue's true face, saying that she was the most beautiful girl in the monastery.
Before long, there was a portrait of Li Cangyue spreading wildly and secretly among boys.
Among the Taoist priests who were drinking on the second floor of the Appreciation Spring Courtyard that day, there was a Taoist priest who was good at Tuoying, a member of the Taoist Intelligence Department.
The moment he saw Li Cangyue, he decided to imprint Li Cangyue's face with the Tuning technique, so that he could sell it to a boy for pocket money.
The portrait produced by the extension technique can be similar to a high-resolution photo. This is how the images of monsters on the world's monster hunting list come from.
He grabbed several images of Li Cangyue, and finally chose Li Cangyue smiling. Because that is just so beautiful.
At the beginning, he set a price of one hundred taels of silver per piece. After selling thirty pieces, he found that the supply was short of demand, so he raised the price to three hundred taels.
Finally, it was sold for five hundred taels of silver.
Among the boys, Li Cangyue's portrait went up to 1,000 taels of silver in private. It costs ten taels of silver to even look at it.
Because there are not many such portraits, and the Taoist priest was exhausted, and only managed to drive out two hundred or so portraits. He didn't want to do it any more.
Those who got the portrait of Li Cangyue were unwilling to transfer it.
When Li Cangyue was in class, more people wanted to get in and listen to the class.
But now it's not as easy as before. The students in the second class of Tiantian spontaneously fill up the seats every time, and they don't want to let outsiders get in.
After Li Cangyue knew about the portrait, she only smiled slightly and ignored it.
