Who has the siege Chapter 7
Besieged City
Chapter 7
The seven beards are often drawn in two strokes, while Wang Chuhou’s beard is just one stroke. He had grown a beard 20 years ago. At that time, officials had hairy upper lips. Otherwise, it would not be enough to show their status. Just like ancient Western philosophers, they must have long beards under their chins to show their wisdom. He works as a secretary in the Governor's Office in this province. The marshal's water chestnut beard looks like it was transplanted from Ren Dan's advertisement. It's so powerful. He dared not grow the same beard
for fear that the handsome man would accuse him of being arrogant; the handsome man had a black caltrop beard with round corners, but he only wanted to have a smaller red caltrop beard with sharp corners
Sub.
Who knows that people who don’t have gun barrels don’t have decent beards. They are thin and soft, hanging on both sides of the mouth, like commas in new punctuation.
It can’t be raised up. It's not ethereal enough either. His two thick black eyebrows, some of which could rival those of a birthday star, seemed as if he accidentally shaved off his eyebrows and beard when he first shaved, and then hurriedly put them on, and the beard The eyebrows
have changed their positions; the ones on the mouth are eyebrows, which will not grow at all, and the ones on the forehead are beards, so they are thriving. It’s okay if you don’t grow this kind of beard
. He had married this lady five years ago, and it was a good excuse to shave off his beard. However, like all bureaucrats, robbers, gamblers, and speculators, he believes in fate. Astrologers say that he is born in the "wood" shape, and his hair and beard are like the branches and leaves of a tree. The lack of them means that the tree is withered. People over forty are of course half-bald, and these few beards indicate that old trees are blooming and their vitality is not yet exhausted. But for the sake of the twenty-five-year-old new wife, she couldn't shave off all the hair, so she shaved off two strands, leaving the middle tuft. Because this tuft was not thick enough, she trimmed it into a movie star-like line. This incident is bound to ruin the feng shui on the face, and bad things happen one after another.
The new wife fell ill as soon as she entered the house. Wang Chuhou himself was impeached, and he failed to succeed in the official position. Unfortunately, the official fell into somersaults, like a cat
If he fell from a high place, he would always be successful. Standing on all fours, you won't be too embarrassed. He didn't rely on salary in the first place, he explained this way. Moreover, he is
an old-school celebrity, and he still has the customs of the Qing Dynasty. He was very elegant when he was an official. When he retired, he could talk about knowledge; his wife was always like this when she was sick
Not aggravating. This may be due to the effect of the beard, and luck is not bad in the end.
If the few beards left behind can save some of his luck, Wang Chuhou's good luck will be even less when the beard is not shaved
Needless to say. For example, his first wife, who was a loser, died unexpectedly, leaving him to marry his beautiful second wife. After being married for more than 20 years,
I gave birth to a son who graduated from college. This wife died long ago. It's the most economical thing to do if your wife dies. Although there is an expense for the funeral, there is no need for alimony in divorce. Don’t you need two expenses for bigamy? Many people have damn wives, unlike Wang Chuhou who has the luck of dying in time. And at least someone will give gifts when mourning the death. Divorce and bigamy will not even earn this small amount of gift money, and they will also have to pay legal fees. What's more, although Wang Chuhou is an official, he is just a scholar at heart. Literati like it most when someone dies, so they can write mournful articles with titles. Coffin shops and funeral parlors only deal with the newly deceased, while literati will grow hair on the dead who are one year, several years, decades, or even centuries old. "Anniversary of Death" and "Tricentenary Commemoration" are both good titles. Death of a wife—or
Death of a husband, because there are female writers—is an especially good topic; no matter how talented others are, the wife or husband is only yours, this is
Register Patent title. When Wang Chuhou wrote the poems "A Brief Story of the Dead Wife" and "Mourning for the Death" in the new funeral, he had already thought of the ancient people's good words: "The bride and the new children before me are already the second time in life," and he only hated to use them for a while. If not, I hope Xu Xian will give birth to a child and write another poem: "Xunran composed something on the occasion of the death of the late family member." Instead, these two lines were changed and embedded in them. This poem has not been written yet. The second Mrs. Wang passed the exam without giving birth to a child, but only fell ill. Recuperating at home only supported the illness and the family refused to leave her, so she was very weak all year round, which made her even older husband feel pity and fear.
She once studied in college for one year, but dropped out of school to recuperate due to anemia. She lived at home for four to five years. Whenever her head was not dizzy or her body was not groaning, she would learn Chinese painting from her teacher. , playing the piano for fun.
Traditional Chinese painting and piano are the cultural parts of her dowry, just like other women’s university diplomas (with ebony frames) and
Bachelor’s hat photos (with 16-inch color Gold lacquered ebony wood frame). Wang Chuhou didn't know much about Western music, so of course he thought his wife played the piano well. He should know a little bit about Chinese painting, but his wife's paintings, my husband thought, were not bad. He always said to his guests:
"She likes music and painting so much. They are all things that take a lot of thought. How can she be in good health?" Mrs. Wang was humble to her guests
Said: "My health is not good and I can't do these things often, so I can't draw well or play the piano well." Since moving to this small village, Mrs. Wang has been so lonely that she often quarreled with her husband. . She was of a delicate status, and she looked down upon the wives of her husband's colleagues and thought they were poor and embarrassed. Her husband is worried about the fact that single male colleagues often come to her home and thinks they are too young. Gao Songnian knew that she was bored at home and was willing to ask her to do things at school. Mrs. Wang is a smart person and refused. At first, she knew that she was not qualified. At most, she could be a small clerk, which would be harmful to her health.
Secondly, she knew that this was a man's world. Countries with developed feminism, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, only asked men to be God, only saying "He" but not "She". When women come out to do things, no matter how high their status is, they are still used by men. As long as they don't come forward and hide behind the scenes, they can use their status as wives or mistresses to instruct and manipulate men. Ms. Fan, a girls' guide and a lecturer in the Department of Education, is her admirer and they have quite a relationship with each other.
