Chapter 735 Master's Good Slave
The word "haircut" has been recorded in the Song Dynasty. For example, Zhu Xi said in the commentary "Poetry Zhou Song Liang Si": "Cab, hair clipper."

"The body, hair and skin are the parents, dare not damage them", this argument originated from Confucianism.But only a few dynasties legislated for hairstyles, and even fewer legislated for beards.

So the ancients did not fully follow this argument.It seems that later generations advocate masculinity, but there are still men with pierced ears, earrings, and long hair.Except for special occupational requirements, what can we do with them?

Moreover, some dynasties did not respect Confucianism, such as the Qin Dynasty, which respected legalism. Most of the terracotta warriors and horses in the tomb of the Qin Emperor had short mustaches, little beards, or no beards.

"Mustache" refers to the mustache on the upper lip. "Beard" refers to the beard on the chin. "Beard" not everyone has. "Ran" refers to the beard on the cheeks in front of the ears and under the temples.Some people don't have any, so they put down their sideburns and pretend to be beautiful.

As for Cao Cao frightened the horse to step on the farmland, and then "cut the hair with the sword to buy the land", first of all, the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, and secondly, it was a performance of Cao Cao.

Even in the Han Dynasty, there were barbers.By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the hairdressing industry had been well developed, and full-time barbers appeared. At that time, it was very popular for noble children to shave their hair and face.

Most of the men in the Liang Dynasty had short beards. Unless they were young or eunuchs did not grow beards, men would at least have mustaches.Because people without beards are likely to be mistaken for eunuchs.Really embarrassing.

Murong Qu shaved off his beard and looked neat and tidy. He walked in the alley with his head down, avoiding others and hiding his edge.For the past few days, he has been hiding in Nanshi, and he didn't come out until the limelight passed.Looking at the portrait pasted at the entrance of the square, he stood in the crowd, but no one recognized him.

At the same time, I saw a notice saying that a cruise ship prostitute named Zhang Cherry died in the boat, and asked the sufferer to go to the county government to claim it within seven days, otherwise he would throw his body in a mass grave.Of course, this is just a theory. In fact, most of them are wrapped in straw mats, and a shallow pit can be dug to cover them with a layer of soil.

After reading the notice, Murong Qu hesitated for a moment, but he still walked towards the mission workshop.I plan to go to the morgue of Yongkang County to see Miss Cherry's body.A few days passed, and the victim still hadn't claimed it. Murong Qu felt sad, and bravely entered the county government office, took out the household registration book, and said that he was Miss Cherry's brother.

This household registration book is the household registration of the girl's elder brother, who escaped the war in the early years, and the two brothers and sisters separated.I don't know if my brother is still alive now, but the household registration book has been kept by the girl.Even if he was reduced to a trickster, he never gave up.

That night Cherry gave Murongqu her household registration, intending to use it as proof to cheat the inspection.But in fact, the Jinwu Guard did not go to the river to check.But Murongqu was worried that Cherry would tell her later, so he strangled her to death.But the more Murong Qu thought about it, the more he regretted it, and felt that he had strangled someone who shouldn't have died.

That woman was beautiful, delicate and weak, very pitiful, I really didn't know how I could do it at that time.I remember that as soon as he pinched the cherry to his death, he became depressed.Sitting alone in a small boat, accompanied by the new corpse. It was almost dawn, and he put the cherry boards upright and put them in a sleeping position before he left.

After going through the formalities with the county magistrate, he came to the morgue. The lazy official looked at the paperwork, and waved his hand to let Murong Qu go in by himself.

These officials without rank have always been lazy in their work, and have always adhered to the principle of "one thing more is worse than one thing less".

When Murong Qu entered the morgue, he saw only one corpse.He walked over, lifted the shroud and took a look, the cherry's face was ashes, but...

For nearly four days, how come there are no corpse spots on the girl's body?

Thinking of something, Murong Qu immediately put down the shroud, and his heart beat faster.

The cherries were sent directly to the county government by the Jinwu Guard. Could it be that the Jinwu Guard didn't send someone for an autopsy because of the panic that day?And when you get to the county, just throw it in the morgue?Lamenting that a degraded person like Cherry, even if she dies, no one cares about her...

Murong Qu hurried to the street to call for a donkey cart, and donkey carts didn't like to drag people to death, so he gave more money.

Murong Qu trotted back, hugged Cherry in his arms, and left the Mission Workshop with the handover procedures.

"Oh, life is impermanent..."

As soon as he walked out of the gate, the coachman took a look at the corpse, but just as he turned his head, he heard a muffled groan from a woman. At that time, the coachman was so frightened that his whole body became alert, and he turned his head suddenly, and saw the dead man raised his hand.

"Oh my god! It's a scam!"

……

Xiaoxi Building, second floor.

The little eunuch stood by the window with his whisk in his arms, his eyes emptied.

Tong Yu saw King Qin leaving with brothers Bai Zhan and Bai Tang again, but did not take him with him, which made the little eunuch feel sad.

Once upon a time, I was the closest servant of the King of Qin, but now my position was taken away by the Bai brothers.

The little eunuch knew why this was so, His Royal Highness Qin Wang was now a man of the Liang Dynasty, and he couldn't do without expert bodyguards.And that Bai Zhan is also an eunuch, so there is no need for King Qin to bring Tong Yu with him.

The little eunuch also asked Lao Huang to teach him martial arts, but Lao Huang said, you go to the old man to teach you, and he will teach you better than me.But Tong Yu was afraid of Lao Diao Temple and only asked Lao Huang to teach him.But Lao Huang taught him some mental formulas, and after practicing for half a month, he didn't feel anything at all.

Later, Lao Huang said: You are a rotten wood that cannot be carved, you should give up quickly, so as not to waste time.

Tong Yu stood alone in Xiaoxilou, very depressed, thinking about how to do something to attract Qin Wang's attention.Otherwise, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be even more alienated.

"Why don't you go to the Duke's Mansion to have a look..."

The little eunuch suddenly thought of something, and with a happy face, he locked the door, ran to the dining hall, brought a pot of wine to Lao Huang, and asked Lao Huang to help him watch King Qin's study in Xiaoxilou.If someone sends ordinary documents, they are placed on the left, and if they are urgent, they are placed in the middle.He also emphasized that those documents are very important and must not be lost.

Old Huang had a displeased look on his face: "Old man, I stay in the small west courtyard every day, do you think I'm just eating dry food? Do you still need to order me?"

For the sake of the wine, Lao Huang no longer cares about it, but said: "Oh, little eunuch, what are you going to do?"

Tong Yu originally wanted to hide his whereabouts, but facing Lao Huang, he decided to tell the truth.Otherwise, if you offend Lao Huang, no one will help him fight against Wang Xun in the future.

"I'm going to see the male Jia Meiren. If she looks good, I'll ask her out to show King Qin."

"Oh! Ambitious!" Lao Huang was overjoyed, holding his thumb high: "This is my young master's good slave."

……

Tong Yu came to the Duke's mansion with a small basket, and the guards inspected it. There were some preserved fruits and snacks in the basket, and asked him what he said?He said he would come over to see Nalanxi on behalf of the King of Qin.

The little eunuch's words were very vague, which would make people mistakenly think that King Qin asked him to come.But if it is investigated after the fact, he can completely say that he took the initiative to take a look for King Qin.He is a eunuch, he wants to see no taboo against anyone.Of course, just don't make up your mind to go and see Tang Dian Han Hao.

Such things are reported to the steward, but the officials feel that there is no need to report to Concubine Fan, so they bring him in.

On the way, Tong Yu also asked the butler, how is the concubine's health?
Tang Shunliu, the little housekeeper in the front yard of the Duke's Mansion, said that Auntie's face was as white as paper, half of her body was cold, she felt dizzy when she stood up, and she couldn't sit for a long time.

"Then who is in charge of the two beauties now?" Tong Yu asked quietly.

Tang Shunliu said: "I don't care about anything, except for the young master, there is no man in the house. As long as they don't go out the front and back doors, they can do whatever they like. As for learning the rules, it's all about following the inner courtyard , we just think about delivering meals at regular intervals.”

Tong Yu laughed: "Nalan Ci, Nalan Xi, which one is more handsome?"

Tang Shun blinked: "I can't tell which is better. But the side concubine said that Nalan Ci is more dignified, and Nalan Xi has a little fox face, which looks like a little demon who wants to suck a man's bone marrow." Son."

The two young eunuchs came to the small courtyard where the Nalan sisters lived after talking and laughing.

The report said that it was people from Prince Qin's mansion who came to see Nalan Xi, which made the beautiful woman Jia Guo a little nervous, she tidied herself up quickly, sat on the couch, and was ready to meet her.

Later, when she learned that it was an eunuch who came to see her, she was a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything.I saw that Tong Yu was petite and handsome, very polite, and laughed a lot before speaking, which was not annoying.

"Tsk tsk, Princess Nalan is really handsome, our King Qin will definitely like it. I don't know what the princess likes, but speaking of it, the next time I come to see you, our family will bring it to you."

"Don't bother Eunuch Tong, the Duke's Mansion treats us very well, we don't need anything."

"Yo, you really can talk, and you really take care of others' face. But no matter how nice you are, you are someone after all. Whatever the princess has to say, if you tell Xiaonu, you must be considerate."

This Tong Yu sat in the room and didn't plan to leave. She talked to Na Lanxi about his family's King Qin, but she didn't mention a word about the angry Princess Qin.He also said that there is a lack of a side concubine in the palace, and you came at the right time.

Nalan Xi came here to marry the King of Qin, and the girl was very happy when she heard that the King of Qin was good or bad, and she couldn't help being curious about this man who had never met.Sure enough, Tong Yu invited the girl to meet King Qin.But the girl thought of all kinds of advice from the ritual officer, and hesitated again.

Along the way, the etiquette officials kept teaching them the etiquette of the Central Plains. It is said that the etiquette is strict, and if they offend, they may cut their hands and nose, which is very scary.

So Nalanxi said sternly: "If the King of Qin can come to the Duke's mansion, the concubine will naturally want to meet. If I let the concubine go out, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

……

Tong Yu was not very happy about not being able to ask the girl out, but he would not show any displeasure in front of Nalan Xi, and even said that he would come to see her in a few days.

The young eunuchs who grew up in the palace know how to serve the hostesses best. Before the hostesses have passed the door, they must not offend them, in case they will be favored in the future.

At this time, Tong Yu was thinking about how to bring the King of Qin into the Duke's Mansion.

But before the little eunuch came up with a good idea, he received a blow to the head. There was news from Prince Kang's mansion...
