Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fawning
In modern people, it doesn't matter if you shave your head, but the ancients paid great attention to hair, and even hair can represent a person's life.
The custom of foot binding has been passed down for a longer time, and it is said that the concubine of the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Hou Niang is beautiful and talented, and can sing and dance.
Li Houzhu specially made a six-foot-high golden lotus, decorated with jewelry ribbons, ordered the lady to wrap her feet with silk, so that the feet were slender and bent to make a crescent moon, and then put on plain socks and danced on the lotus platform, so as to make the dance more beautiful.
The lady danced well, and was naturally very favored**, and some upper-class women began to follow suit, and it became popular in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, although the wind of foot binding was prevalent, it was not serious, and some working women did not wrap it at all. It's just that history doesn't know which link went wrong, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it asked for a three-inch golden lotus.
The three-inch golden lotus wrapping method directly wasted the feet, and it was gasping for two steps, not to mention working on the ground. Some people also laughed and said that it was probably because the national strength of the Ming and Qing dynasties was relatively strong, so they dared to wrap it like this, before the Song and Yuan dynasties, wars were frequent, labor was in short supply, where did they dare to let women bind their feet.
Getting back to the point, it was said that the Qing army entered the Central Plains and required to shave their hair and keep braids and waste their feet, hair was particularly important to the ancients, and naturally some people resisted, but those who resisted had to be arrested and imprisoned, so they had to be cut off in the end.
But when it came to the women, it was difficult, and when the women heard that they were not allowed to wrap their feet, they did not agree, so did you not let them wrap? Then I'll kill myself! At that time, there were too many people who committed suicide, and later this prohibition had to be abolished, so at that time there was a saying that 'men do not descend women'.
It can be seen that how powerful the brainwashing ability of the ancient Chinese is, it is obviously a good thing, but in the brainwashing mode of deformed beauty, women commit suicide because they do not let their feet be bound. Later, even the men of Manchuria were assimilated, and they asked their women to follow and wrap their feet.
Later, when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered the city, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, under the overthrow of the prosperous era accumulated by the Ming and Qing dynasties, Sun Yat-sen issued an order to prohibit foot binding when the people who fought in the war were not able to make a living, and women could not work and would fall down when they ran a few steps.
Under the cultural shock of the West at that time and the social reality of labor shortage, there was finally no one to bind their feet.
Of course, there are also men who commit suicide because of braids, and the owner of the Si Ghost Sword is one of them. According to the current thinking, it is really stupid to commit suicide for the sake of hair, but at the time, it was a very temperamental performance.
The body is hairy, and you are receiving my hair, which is equivalent to whipping our ancestors and ancestors, which is a great shame!
Therefore, the owner of the Si Ghost Sword killed himself because he did not shave his head, which is a very dignified act and a great filial piety.
Therefore, the sword of the ghost is a sword of integrity, according to legend, there are countless souls under the sword, and its owner is a martyr of loyalty, so the sword carries righteousness, and can kill people under the group of ghosts under the sword, so there is a saying of "ghost of the sword". This sword can be used at home, and the sword can kill ghosts, but the scabbard is nowhere to be found.
This seems to be an ordinary ancient sword, but with such a reason, it suddenly seems mysterious and unpredictable. No wonder the one-eyed in the antique shop told me at the time that if you want to sell at a starting price, you must have a reason, antiques, antiques, antiquities are a play, a dead thing can be sought after, often not the material workmanship of the object itself, but the 'head' behind it.
After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, he began to bid, and the first person to shout the price was actually Fu Nan, I was very surprised, could it be that he came for this sword?
After Fu Nan, some people continued to bid, but Fu Nan was very strange, in general auctions, the bidding price was slowly increased, and the surname Fu added 100,000 yuan every time he called, showing his determination to win. Soon, the people around him figured out his situation and knew that this person was going to be decided, so they didn't continue to add more, and finally closed the deal at the reserve price.
By the time I finished watching the last auction, two hours had passed, and it was just time for dinner. The club provided dinner, but the people who came here did not lack that meal, took their things, and went home. The auction money will be automatically transferred to me by the club, so after handing in the order, I plan to leave.
When I was about to go out, I happened to collide with the one surnamed Fu, I thought he would find my stubble, but I didn't expect him to say anything, just handed me a cruel smile, and drove away in his luxury car.
My heart sank, this surnamed Fu, for such a trivial matter, he found someone to cripple me, today I had a fight with him, Liang Zi is not small, and his family is mixed with the underworld, I am afraid that he will be killed.
When I didn't even enter the office, I always thought that life was like on the news, and people who were killed would always be found by the police. But since I came into contact with this industry, I have found that in this world, many missing people can't even find their bodies in the end.
They may be killed for a vendetta.
or be robbed.
And the perpetrator was skillful and disposed of the body so well that people couldn't find it at all. As long as the body cannot be found, it cannot be judged dead, and in the police station, it can only be hung on the case of disappearance. So, are many of the missing people really missing?
No, it's not. Many of the missing people have already been killed, but the bodies of the dead are not even found.
With Fu Nan's power, if he wants me to 'disappear', I'm afraid it won't be a difficult thing.
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to stay outside any longer, so I hurriedly took a taxi back to the office.
I didn't expect that Fu Nan would actually go back to the office, and he drove by himself, so he arrived before me. At this moment, the sword he took was in Zhou Xuanye's hand. When the surnamed Fu saw me, he smiled weirdly and didn't say anything.
I had a bad guess in my head.
Sure enough, this guess came true in the next second. I saw Zhou Xuanye playing with the ancient sword in his hand intently, and exclaimed: "I have long heard of the name of the Ghost Sword, but I didn't expect to see it today." ”
Fu Nan immediately bent over and smiled: "Brother Zhou, don't treat me as an outsider, you can laugh at this sword." ”
I know that Zhou Xuanye is a sword, and the sword is hanging in the living room of the office, if he takes over the long life, he will put it in his bag, and when he was in that snake cave, he rescued me and Qiu Huangxi with a sword.
It turned out that he photographed this ancient sword in order to curry favor with Zhou Xuanye!
Damn it.
When Tang Linlin saw me coming back, she immediately walked up to me and said in a low voice: "I don't know where he got this thing from, Zhou Fox is not as good as anything else, he likes to collect ancient swords, you see Zhou Fox smiling." ”
Zhou Xuanye is usually very kind, and his smile makes people feel very sincere, but it is the first time that he laughs so happily like today. I don't feel good in my heart, damn, I knew I was going to shoot this sword. This sword was shot for 700,000 yuan at the time, although I usually like to negotiate wages with Tan Jian, but I am not short of money in my hands now, Zhou Xuanye in order to save my life, he committed a taboo life expectancy, and the whole person is several years old.
To tell the truth, just this kindness, give him a sword, of course I won't frown. But when I was in the auction house, I only knew that Zhou Xuanye used a sword, but I didn't expect that he still liked to collect these things, so naturally I didn't expect to auction them.
Zhou Xuanye watched it for a long time, and when he saw me, he said, "Tiangu, you're back, please go and bring the camera in my room." ”
Camera?
What to do with a camera?
I didn't bother to take a sip of water, went to his bedroom, flipped out the camera and handed it to him. Zhou Xuanye turned on the camera, put the ancient sword on the coffee table and began to take pictures, clicked and took more than a dozen photos, put down the camera with satisfaction, and said, "Good sword, good thing." Then he admired his photo, put the camera aside, handed the ancient sword back to Fu Nan, and said in a sincere voice: "Little Fu, I understand your kindness, but it is useless, I can't accept such a valuable thing." ”
I was happy in my heart, the depression just now was swept away, or Zhou Xuanye was powerful, if it was Tan Jian's turtle hair, he would definitely be bought.
Fu Nan's face changed, he pushed the sword back, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhou, we don't talk darkly, I have spent more than half a year with you, in the past half a year, I, Fu Nan, have respected you and Mr. Tan, and I think I haven't done anything to be sorry for the two, right?" ”
Zhou Xuanye only replied: "The Tao is not the same." ”
Fu Nan said: "The Tao is in front of you, following me is the bright road, go behind my back, how far you can go, you can weigh it yourself." ”
The two of them started a dumb riddle, but it was obvious that Fu Nan did not plan to get along 'peacefully', and obviously wanted Zhou Xuanye to give an answer. He is a gangster, and his help from Zhou Xuanye must not be a good thing.
After Fu Nan finished speaking, Tan Jian lifted Erlang's legs, raised his eyelids, and said lukewarmly: "Are you threatening us?" ”
Fu Nanpi smiled and said, "Don't dare, I'm discussing." ”
Zhou Xuanye made a round and said: "Xiaofu, you should know that if I want to make money, it is easy, but there is some money, and if you have a life to earn it, you have to spend it." I don't have that life, so I can't go your way. ”
Fu Nan frowned and said, "Then you're going against me?" ”
Zhou Xuanye narrowed his eyes and said, "The worst result is just a life." ”
Fu Nan said: "I remember that you are very life-sparing. ”
Zhou Xuanye said: "But if you take your life, it's worth it." ”
Fu Nan's face suddenly became gloomy, compared to the power, we naturally can't compare to him, but Zhou Xuanye and the two of them have many secret skills, if they really want to deal with him, it is not difficult, now the meaning of this is obvious, Zhou Xuanye refuses to cooperate, if Fu Nan really wants to fight with him, the result is nothing more than a defeat for both sides.
Fu Nan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Zhou, you are still thinking about it, two days later, I will wait for your reply." With that, without waiting for us to speak, he walked out of the office.
