Chapter 610: First Impressions

The first impression is that the scholar in front of me is a young man in his twenties, suave and suave, with a towel and a feather fan.

It is not too common to wear a scarf on the head, and the feather fan in the hand is unique.

The reason why scarves are rare is because modern people don't need this kind of thing to tie their heads for a long time.

They either wear a modern hairstyle to show off the market, or they wear a hat to cover their heads.

It is also trouble-free and safe, and the performance of shading and keeping warm is very good.

The scarf is a three-foot square green cloth that is wrapped around the head in a special way.

Because in the early days, Zhuge Liang specially carried something, so it was also called "Zhuge scarf".

This kind of Zhuge scarf, because the length of the Han Dynasty was three feet square, and one foot at that time was equivalent to 6.93 inches in modern times, which is close to 7 inches.

So in modern times, this kind of cloth is a square cloth with two feet of length and width.

It is really not a simple matter to say how such a square cloth is tied to the head elegantly and freely.

If it is not tied well, not only can it not add any grace to the man who wears it, but it will become a burden to him.

I didn't see that Xuankong Dao Chief, and he lost a good mixed yuan scarf Taoist hat, not to mention that it was not a hat but a square cloth scarf.

In contrast, Confucianism attaches more importance to hats than Taoism, because they have always advocated that the right clothes represent the right mind.

Even said that with copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly.

With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.

With people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses.

From this, it is clear that the hat must not only be worn, but also worn properly.

Not wearing it, wearing a broken hat, wearing a hat and losing it, are all unorthodox.

Confucianism juxtaposes the right clothes, knowing the rise and falling, and knowing the gains and losses, and knows that these three are the indispensable basic requirements of the sage's great virtue.

Among these three requirements, the proper dress is placed in the first place, which shows that the untidy clothes are, in the eyes of Confucianism, the likes of peddlers and pawns who do not ascend to the elegant hall.

Therefore, it is indispensable for Confucian scholars to go out and walk and meet famous people from all walks of life, and to wear a good hat upright.

With a good hat, of course, there must be matching outfits to match, otherwise it will become a scarecrow to scare the crows.

It is also said that the clothing of Westerners is popular now, and if you don't wear a suit on formal occasions, you feel that you have not entered the stream.

However, authentic Confucian scholars would never think so.

for they are to wear scarves.

Wearing a scarf on his head, a tie around his neck, and leather shoes on his feet, it definitely looks like a play.

The role he plays is to get rid of an old hat and enter the city.

The formal attire should be a scarf on the head, a long robe, no horse coat, and cloth shoes.

It is best to make handmade products made from the soles and uppers of the shoes taken out by the wife at home.

Of course, it is possible to change the style, but there will never be that natural purity.

Now, this is the first scholar to talk about the item, and this is the dress.

A scarf is worn on the head, a robe is suitable for the style, a goose feather fan is gently shaken in the hand, and the soles of the mille-feuille shoes are not crooked.

Especially that scarf, as if it grows on the head, it is as stable as a rock!

I don't know how long it has been since I put it on, and I don't know how many miles I've traveled, but I'm meticulous and just staying on his head.

People who saw him, even acquaintances, were amazed.

Of course, these people are just watching the fun.

The people who didn't say a word but paid more attention were secretly surprised in their hearts.

This old man's usual scarf is often crooked, and he doesn't behave very seriously!

Should this old man shine today?

The first time I saw the biggest head in the covenant area, the brain is so powerful?

Does this mean that Confucianism is about to re-emerge?

The old man could feel everyone's reaction, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart.

On the surface, he is silent,

It turns out that this Dai Lun towel is also an advanced technology!

As a specific skill, it requires a higher level of skill than wearing other clothes.

Therefore, the specific technical genre is just as different as the theater people will change subtly.

In fact, this old man is not a special talent, and the reason why his skills are superior is a factor.

He was older than everyone else.

So he has a lot of experience.

The technique he uses is the layered fixation method.

There are three levels.

The head, the hair, the inner cover, and finally the scarf

The procedure for the operation starts by fixing the hair on the head.

Then attach the inner cover to your hair.

Finally, fix the scarf on the inner cover.

In this way, the layers are imprisoned, the three layers are in one, and the scarf worn on is as stable as Mount Tai!

Not to mention that it will not be skewered all over the head easily, even if it dies at level 8, the wind will not be able to blow it in the slightest.

This kind of firmness in wearing a hat is even more unattainable for the Taoist Xuankong Taoist to wear a hat at a low level.

Therefore, a small scarf actually contains too many things.

However, these are all visible on the surface, and it is difficult to guess what is not known to others only he knows.

And that scarf, most of the others are pretending, and when they see one that can be pretended, they flock to it, but in fact there is no connotation.

But this old man is different.

That is a symbol of wisdom.

If nothing else, as long as he shakes the goose feather fan twice, an ingenious idea can pop up.

At a second glance, the temperament has changed again.

It has become a full stomach.

Since the ancients, "there is poetry and books in the belly", which is what he looks like.

With his appearance, although he can't add points, in the estimation of age, at least ten or eight years old must be added.

In this way, the person has already reached the age of standing.

But after listening to Wu Lingshuang's introduction, Baili Liangliu knew that his vision was still too far from keenness.

Otherwise, he wouldn't think he was only thirty years old.

And what was the age of this person that Wu Lingshuang told him?

One hundred and twenty-eight years old!

It's a hundred years short.

This is not a general error.

It's that the whole one is out of tune, eight is not sticky, and thirteen is not relied on.

Of course, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Baili Liangliu, and it is also blamed on this Kong Yuliang for being too unobtrusive.

How can a man of one hundred and twenty-eight look like twenty-eight?

Isn't this misleading?

Although Baili Liangliu is not a small official now, he has a habit that has not changed, that is, he is very curious.

As long as something particularly strange caught his attention, he had to ask the bottom of it.

In fact, including the one who entered the ancient agricultural dock, it was also largely because of his personality.

It is said that interest is the best teacher, which has also been strongly proven in Baili Liangliu.

Because of his strong interest, he concentrated on this matter, so he knew more about it than others.

The heavens will descend on the Si people, and this is how the Si people are selected from thousands of mediocre people.

Others, such as straining their muscles and bones and painstaking their minds, are all necessary preparations, and they are naturally done with their feet.

With that curiosity about the secret of immortality unchanged, Baili Liangliu is now interested in this Kong Yuliang.

Originally, Baili Lianglu interrupted the old man's introduction to get him down to business, that is, the way to go for the Xuankong Daoist.

As a result, Baili Liangliu turned his conversation to Old Man Kong.

"By the way, Teacher Kong, I must respect you with your old age, so if you don't strongly oppose it, I will call you Teacher Kong in the future

"Teacher Kong, the student has something I don't know, can you solve the student's confusion-

"You're one hundred and twenty-eight years old, but you actually look like you're twenty-eight, how do you have a good look?"

When Kong Yuliang heard this, you are at least the 10,000th person to ask this question!

Hehe smiled, it wasn't too troublesome, so I explained it to him again.

"It's not surprising that almost everyone who knows my actual age will be amazed and ask me the same question.

"You know what? This may seem like nonsense, but it's actually very significant!

"Think about it, what an amazing thing it would be if a person could keep his face unchanged for a hundred years!

"And, that's what many people dream of!

"Also, how many people should be willing to go bankrupt and exchange their fortunes!

Therefore, it is not surprising to ask this question, it is strange not to ask!

It is also said that those who are interested in this issue, but do not know the significance of this phenomenon, are also very sorry!

"Let me tell you this, I will not answer any inquiry that is merely curious, and does not know the significance of this matter.

So when he asked me about my head, he didn't get an answer from me, at least nine out of ten, and I answered the rest of the way!

"Do you know if I'm going to give them a clear answer, let them come with hope, and go with a satisfactory answer?"

Kong Yuliang estimated that he had entered a verbose mode here, not only chattering, but also using a rhetorical question to increase the intensity of his speech.

"I don't know. ”

Baili Liangliu replied matter-of-factly.

At the same time, I wondered.

If you don't, why do you still treat them differently?

You only sell it if you know it, right?

I'm curious, too, what the hell do you know.

"Actually, I don't know why, so I can't give them a clear answer. ”

Kong Yuliang replied.

Baili Liangliu complained extremely in his heart - it turns out that you are also pretending to be an elephant!

But this thing is not easy to condemn, let's find a simple question.

"Then why haven't you changed in appearance for a hundred years? Also, when did you start this thing?"

Kong Yuliang was about to find someone to talk about that special experience, and when he heard Baili Lianglu ask, he immediately told him about it with high interest.

However, he has spoken about it many times, and he knows very well that those are the main points.

And after all, he is entrusted by others to be loyal to people, and there is the matter of the Xuankong Dao Chief waiting there, so he can't drag it out too much.

So he told Baili Lianglu how he was able to stay in his face according to his understanding.

It was a full hundred years ago, when he was in the prime of life, and that generation, he still remembered it vividly, and it was still the era of the former Qing Dynasty.

After he fled from his hometown of Qufu, he is still in today's Huying generation.

The reason why they wander around there is that there are a lot of persimmon trees there.

It has nothing to do with them having persimmon trees, but there are a lot of edible persimmons on persimmon trees, so it has something to do with them.

It was the early autumn season, and the early ripening persimmons on the persimmon tree were ready to eat.

The persimmons here are the kind of astringent persimmons, which are very astringent if they are not ripe, and they cannot be eaten at all.

At that time, the villagers were still very simple, and they generously allowed their refugees to eat those early-maturing persimmons.

This helped them survive the famine.

Then, he got a job as a professor at a private school.

Teaching allows him to earn some shackles to support himself.

Of course, at that time, he still had to rely on restraint to survive, so he had not yet rejected the policy of restraint.

One day, he went to another village to attend a class, met a companion of the same age, and began to talk, and the more he talked, the more speculative he became.

The man followed him all the way to the place where he taught, and listened to his whole lecture until it was over, and then came back together.

At the place where they met in the morning, the man went separately, and before leaving, he gave him a pill and let him eat it, saying that it could cure illness and prolong life, and even prevent hunger and cold.

The two talked speculatively, and he believed him, so he didn't think much about it, and ate it at that time.

At that time, nothing changed, so I went back and rested for the night.

The next day, after a busy day, I forgot about eating a ball.

Who knows, for the next three days, he didn't even eat, but he didn't feel hungry at all.

At that time, eating was the biggest problem, and in order to save food, he would not eat every time he was not extremely hungry when he ate.

After not being hungry for three days in a row, he was out of luck and panicked.

People are like this, good things for no reason can also make people six gods without masters.

Not being hungry for three days was so abnormal, he had to find the reason why he couldn't feel hungry.

Of course, he has to find the reason, and if he delays it any longer, he will delay the big thing.

When I looked for it, there was no difference except for eating the balls.

Therefore, he must have been the effect of that ball, so he also remembered it very clearly.

He laughed at himself, because he was afraid of starvation, and he never forgot everything related to starvation.

As for the matter of staying old, in fact, I didn't pay attention to it at all, just don't starve to death at that time, who still pays attention to their appearance.

Not to mention men, women are inevitably unkempt.

It wasn't until about twenty years later, when he met a former friend, who was already old and dying, that he realized this phenomenon.

For when he told his friend that he was his friend, his friend firmly did not believe him, and only thought that he was his friend's son.

For this, he was also depressed for quite some time.

Since then, he has remained that way.

He also gradually understood that he was the way he is today, and it was all the effect of that pill.

He was able to get that pill because of his friend who met him.

When Baili Liangliu heard it, this story is very similar to Zhong Changwei's story!

Could it be that Gu Nongwu really had a plan to develop outwards for a long time?

In any case, this Kong Yuliang is a good opportunity.
