"Yes, sir, there really hasn't been any change at all." Lianxiang exclaimed, "Looking like he is still in his weak years, his face is like a jade, his spirit is like jade, his nose is like hanging gallbladder, and his eyes are like bright stars..."
Xiao Nizi is very eloquent and has a good way of complimenting people. She has a very sweet mouth.
Hongxiu frowned slightly. Among the three girls, she was the most mature and the most prudent in handling things.
"Sir, I would like to ask you a disrespectful question. Are the master and his wife still alive?"
Li Qing scratched his head. There are still more than 600 years before the next generation. Not to mention that the ancients married wives and had children at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Even if one generation is every thirty years, his eighteen generations of ancestors have not yet been born.
"Not yet."
"Yet?" Hongxiu looked puzzled. She didn't know why he added this word. After thinking about it, he said, "Sir, he has passed his prime years. Since the master and his wife are already...sir, you might as well grow a beard!"
Li Qing hesitated: "Grow a beard?"
The ancients attached great importance to filial piety. There was a saying, "If your father is alive, don't grow a beard, and if your mother is alive, don't celebrate your birthday." There are also sayings, "If your parents are alive, don't travel far away."
However, when you reach a certain age, you still have to grow a beard.
Those who don’t grow beards are either ‘heavenly eunuchs’ who have physical problems, or they are simply eunuchs who cannot ‘walk in human ways’.
Li Qing knew a little bit about this, but he had never thought about growing a beard before, mainly because it was too troublesome and uncomfortable.
However, the discovery of these women also sounded the alarm for him.
Today they can see the clues, but tomorrow Lao Zhu may not be able to. It is time to pay more attention to his appearance.
Beards are very important to men in this era!
The ancients paid attention to the appearance of men's eyebrows. They not only respected beards, but also took the trouble to classify them in detail. For example, the beard on the upper lip is called "mustache", the beard on the lower lip is called "粜", the beard on the cheek is called "beard", and the beard on the chin is called "beard".
It's called 'fold'.
This shows that the ancients loved beards.
We have all heard the saying that women should not let men down. Women refer to the headscarves of ancient women, and generally refer to women; while men refer to men.
——When women can do something, they are no worse than men!
Without a beard, he is not even a real man, which is why Mu Zhuoer said that he is a bitch.
In ancient times, men paid much greater attention to beards than to hair accessories. After all, their hair was almost always tied up, and those with status would wear crowns and hats. Everyone was basically the same.
But beards are different. They are completely exposed and cannot be braided or styled. Therefore, the bonus point for ancient people's appearance is not their hairstyle, but their beards.
Anyone with a three-foot-long beard must be the most handsome guy on the street.
Li Qing rubbed his bare chin, nodded and chuckled, "Sure, as long as you are not afraid of getting pricked."
Lianxiang said with a smile, "It won't sting people as it grows."
Wanling looked at her husband's handsome face and suddenly remembered the poems he had written when she was in Zuixian Tower:
The most unbearable thing is that the world can't keep it, Zhu Yan's beauty is like a flower in the mirror and a tree!
Thinking back to her husband's bitter look at that time and his attitude towards them in the past few years, she suddenly realized something.
The husband obviously didn't dislike her at all, not even the two sisters who were former prostitutes. He was extremely kind to them, but his attitude was always lukewarm, as if he was deliberately suppressing his emotions and avoiding something.
.
Then she thought that her husband was a direct disciple of Immortal Zhang Slutty. At this moment, she seemed to understand everything, but she still couldn't believe it.
Are there really gods and immortals in this world, and are there really people who never grow old?
Wanling's thoughts were complicated and her lips parted, but in the end she said nothing.
During the New Year's Eve vigil, the atmosphere had been quite depressing because of this small episode. Li Qing also thought about a lot and couldn't bring out any interest.
In the second half of the night, the four of them slept together. Li Qing stopped being romantic and chatted and boasted with the three girls. It was the fourth watch.
After coaxing several girls to sleep, he quietly got dressed and went to the courtyard to enjoy the breeze and enjoy the night view.
The sky was filled with bright stars, indicating that today would be another good day, but Li Qing was still not in a good mood, leaning on his chair in a daze.
After a long time, he sighed softly: "Master, where are you? I miss you so much."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came: "You're celebrating the Chinese New Year, if you don't sleep in the house, why are you having trouble here?"
"who?"
Li Qing was startled and jumped up from his chair, and immediately saw the slovenly old man approaching.
Seeing the appearance of the person clearly, Li Qing suddenly shouted in surprise: "Master, where have you been? I miss you."
"Well, don't be so disgusting." Zhang Sloppy pushed him away and took out a wooden box from his arms, "Take these two Tianshi Pills."
"Thank you, Master." Li Qing took it, pulled Zhang Sloppy to sit on the recliner, beat his legs, and said flatteringly, "Master, my apprentice is now prosperous. You will always enjoy happiness and happiness, and you will also give him a filial piety."
If you have an opportunity, don’t leave it this time, okay?”
Zhang shook his head sloppily: "Life lies in movement. Old man, I can't stay idle. Are the great rivers and mountains not as good as yours?"
"Is it okay if Dahaoheshan has an apprentice?" Li Qing said with a shy face.
"Of course."
"Master, you are so cruel." Li Qing looked hurt, "Your words are like a knife, stabbing into this disciple's heart."
"Don't do this." Zhang Sloppy rolled his eyes, "The old man has been a gangster for hundreds of years, and his heart is as cold as a knife."
"...Good words create good relationships, but bad words hurt people's hearts!" Li Qing was so angry that he said, "Master, you have been a gangster for hundreds of years, and your mouth has always been so poisonous. You are really lucky if you haven't been beaten to death!"
"If a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth, get out of here." Zhang Sloppy slapped Li Qing away and said in a bad mood, "Put away the elixir. This thing is good for you. I'm leaving."
"No." Li Qing stood up and smiled bitterly, "You're celebrating the New Year, if I let you go like this, then am I still a human being?"
After a pause, he calmed down and said, "Master, can you just let me fulfill my filial piety?"
Zhang said with a sloppy smile: "Being filial and being filial means being obedient. What a practitioner pays attention to is one's mind. It's true that the food and drinks here are good, but the idea of being a teacher is not clear."
"You won't stay for a day?" Li Qing said disappointedly.
Zhang Slutty frowned, "What's wrong with you? You've never been like this before."
Li Qing was depressed and said softly: "Master, one day you will leave me, right?"
At this time, Zhang Sloppy was silent. After a long time, he patted his shoulder and sighed:
"I'm sorry for you, but as my teacher... I really can't do anything. Remember, keep an open mind on everything. The trend is irreversible. Don't try to force anything to change, and don't take advantage of others.
If one day you are tired and exhausted, just follow the example of Master and wander around.
One day, you will return to the world you live in. If you think about it, it will be wonderful there. Don't let it get to you."
After a pause, "Looking at the rise and fall of history, its rise and fall are also sudden. You don't owe it anything, and you have no obligation to shoulder anything."
Li Qing lowered his eyes and said slowly for a long time: "Disciple... I would like to be taught!"
There was no response, Zhang Sloppy had already drifted away, still as cool as ever.
Li Qing stood alone, looking at each other, silent and speechless.
…
When I regained consciousness, it was already dawn.
The light blue sky was inlaid with sparse remaining stars, and birds were chirping on the jujube branches. After a while, the sky turned fish-belly white, and the morning sun appeared, making the sky dim.
The fiery red morning glow is very gorgeous. After a while, the morning light breaks through the clouds and mist, and the soft sunshine shines in. It is warm, accompanied by the chirping of birds, and full of vitality.
It’s a new year, it’s a new day.
Li Qing bathed in the morning light, and his cold heart gradually became warmer.
"Can't you really change anything?" Li Qing whispered to himself, "No, it can be changed. I have changed a lot. Nai'er was not recruited, Yu'erhai won a few years earlier, and the Ming Dynasty treasure money was not misused.
print.
Nowadays, it is even more important to reconcile the conflicts between the Han and Yuan Dynasties, and the reason for this is that I asked Jin Yiwei to go to the grassland to find out information about the Yuan people. The butterfly effect can be seen in the shadows and shapes of the landforms of the grassland.
As Zhu Biao said, in a few generations, when people in the Yuan Dynasty wore Han clothes and spoke Chinese, we were all Han people.
I will keep watching it and watching it get better little by little!”
"Master, you said that the trend is irreversible, but I have to show you that the situation is irreversible!" Li Qing's eyes gradually became firmer, "I don't believe in fate, I will definitely be able to do it."
At this moment, he had a goal, his eyes glowed with intensity, and his whole person's energy returned.
