son-in-law

Chapter 964 Red Romance

The business of pedicure and foot bath is recorded in oracle bone inscriptions.In the most corrupt and extravagant Jin Dynasty, pedicures were as popular among nobles as shaving.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, a monk named Baozhi became famous because he gave a pedicure to the ancestor Bodhidharma who had been facing the wall for ten years.Later, in the pedicure industry, Bao Zhi was regarded as the patriarch, and he was honored as "Zhi Gong".

In the Liang Dynasty, there was also a "Zhigong Temple" in Xingjiaofang.Every year on the third day of March, the Pedicure Chamber of Commerce organizes sacrificial activities and worships.In Su Yu's vague impression, there was also a Zhigong Temple in Kyoto in the previous life.And there have always been people who worship the ancestors.

I have to admire the cultural heritage of China, although some people scoff at this heritage.However, it can be passed down, which is great in itself.And Su Yu, even if he doesn't believe in or participate, he won't criticize.He would watch with interest, watching the pious.

In essence, Su Yu is a Taoist.But it is worth mentioning that Taoism is not Taoism.That's two different things.

In the eyes of Taoism, everything is the Tao, whether it is this religion or that religion, it is the Tao when it comes to China.Even if this person says that the moon is the center of the universe, he is right in the eyes of Taoists.But individually, he is wrong.Su Yu would explain it this way, any point is the center of the universe.

Of course, what Su Yu said was both right and wrong.It's not about making peace with each other, but what Su Yu thinks is the way.

For example, Su Yu also said that no matter how big something is found, there must be something bigger than it.No matter how small something is found, there must be something even smaller.When people think atoms are small, it may be a new universe.When people think the universe is big, it might just be an atom.

Su Yu's thoughts cannot be expressed. If Tang Ling'er said that, Princess Tang must think that King Qin is crazy.And Su Yu also thinks that his statement is wrong, because these statements cannot be falsified, but he still insists on thinking so.

It's his preference, not his position.He doesn't force anyone to stand in the same position as him to see the "Tao" issues.

The reason why he became best friends with Xu Luochen, Ouyang Jing, and Lin Chongyang was because these three people could listen to Su Yu's nonsense.Especially Xu Luochen, whose thoughts were highly integrated with Su Yu's.And Ouyang Jing said, although I don't understand what you're talking about, I think it's quite funny.But Lin Chongyang just listened quietly, he didn't like it, and he wasn't bored either.

"My dearest His Royal Highness King Qin, it's so boring to stay at home all day, let the minister take the king to have a pedicure."

As the sunset glows in the western sky, Ouyang Jing and Xu Luochen come to the Palace of the King together.

Ouyang Jing is very proud recently, because he won the first prize in the first Gambling King Conference held by Drunken Jade Emperor, so he has just won the title of "The No. [-] Gambling King of Liang Dynasty".

It is said that Ouyang Jing's reputation has spread far and wide abroad, and the three major gambling kings of the Southern Jin Dynasty have sent "battle forms" one after another, inviting the gambling kings of the Northern Dynasty to fight on the river to compete for the title of "No. [-] Gambling King in China".

Ouyang Gambling King brought Xu Luochen to the palace today to pay homage to King Qin.This is what Ouyang Jing said, he used the word "worship".Then he said that he would take King Qin to have a pedicure.Su Yu stared at Ouyang Jing, smiled wryly, and said nothing.

Ouyang Jing blinked: "How about I bring the pedicure woman to the palace?"

Su Yu waved his hand: "Forget it, don't make trouble for nothing."

Su Yu smiled, and said with relief: "My beauty Feng is now a good hand at pinching feet. I will teach it myself. Every few days, I will go to the small Taoist temple to enjoy it."

Ouyang Jing smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, Xu Luochen raised his sleeve and wiped away his tears.

King Qin asked Xu Luochen why he was sad?
Xu Luochen said: "Watching that the King of Qin is working so hard for the country and the people, he is going through such a hard life, Xu is very sad."

Su Yu grinned: "You write articles all day long, either satirically or flatteringly. How do you bring this state into your life? Are you too into the drama? Am I working hard?!"

Xu Luochen said angrily, "Of course!"

Xu Luochen waved his sleeves and stood up, roaring: "It's been a lot of hard work!"

Hearing that Granny Niu was seriously injured, Xu Luochen, who called himself "the great doctor of Yunxian", went to see her.

Xu Luochen, who was not tall, was as thin as a monkey, with his hands behind his back, his head held high, and he walked slowly towards the small east building with the slow pace that a fairy doctor should have.

Because he was too slow, King Qin had to wait for him to take one step after taking three steps.

It's strange to say that Xu Luochen was so disrespectful, but King Qin didn't get angry.But later, Xu Luochen was kicked by Ouyang Jing, watching Xu Luochen lean forward, in order to maintain his balance, he waved his arms and ran a few steps forward, and plunged into the small east building.

Twelve hours later, Grandma Niu still hasn't woken up.In this Liang Dynasty, there was no such thing as infusion, and the old woman in her seventies was lying like this, which was really worrying.

Su Yu once thought, is it good or bad for Granny Niu if he persists like this?
Fortunately, she is unconscious. If she is awake and suffering from the great pain before death, then if she lives for two more days, will it help her or hurt her?
During the battle between Yanyun and Hedong, King Qin saw many seriously injured soldiers and begged his comrades to give him a good time.

"When acupuncture."

Xu Luochen pretended to close his eyes and check his pulse, his brows were furrowed for a quarter of an hour.Seeing his head drop uncontrollably, then suddenly lifted up again, it felt like this kid was dozing off.After taking a nap, he rubbed his eyes and said acupuncture should be done.

Then he really ran home, got a set of needles, used them in various ways, and pricked more than a dozen needles on Granny Niu's face and scalp.The longest needle was half a foot long, and pierced through Granny Niu's nostril, leaving only the handle of the needle, and he flicked it with his fingertips.Can toss for a long time, also did not see the effect.

"My little fairy's skill is still weak, so I should ask the imperial doctor."

Later, Xu Luochen was lifted out of Xiaodonglou by King Qin with one hand.

Today it was Ouyang Jing who proposed to come to the Palace of the King. He had something to do with the King of Qin, but after a long time he said: "I think the industry of pedicure and foot bath has a future. But most of the current foot bath parlors don't know how to operate it. If a humble minister manages it, They will definitely be able to make great achievements and lead an industry to the peak. They can’t do it only by footbath and pedicure. When adding new items, such as full-body massage, special massage, etc., there must be a distinction between high and low to be successful. When all these means are used, it will definitely be popular. Not to mention that every street has it, at least every square has it."

Su Yu put his hands behind his back: "And then?"

Ouyang Jing smiled: "But the formalities can't be completed. Now the Empress Dowager wants to rectify the secular atmosphere and no longer approve the red house tax certificate, so the county and Jingzhao Mansion dare not do it. It is precisely because of this that now I Only by making a move can we gain the upper hand. When the industry is spread out, the whole city will have it, then it will be released, and there must be half of King Qin by then."

Su Yu asked: "Why don't you try it in Metropolis first?"

Ouyang Jing said: "That is King Geng's territory after all. You can't bet all your property there. Now that Zuixianlou has made money, maybe King Geng will take back that piece of land someday because of his jealousy."

Su Yu shook his head: "Seeing tenants buying and selling to make money, there are many people who maliciously raise prices to force tenants away. But I don't think Zhao Zhun is that kind of person."

Ouyang Jing also shook his head, and said pessimistically: "King Geng's character is indeed good, but there are too many villains around him. Those people chatter in King Geng's ears all day long, and King Geng's mind is unstable. It's a loss of character. And then I'm going to have bad luck."

Su Yu disagreed with Ouyang Jing's point of view, but nodded and said: "Then go get it first, and see how the business is. If it really turns out to be good, then go through the formalities."

Ouyang Jing was waiting for this sentence, and smiled and saluted: "Please give the new restaurant a name, my lord."

Su Yu joked, "Red is romantic."

"Oh!" Ouyang Jing pretended to be horrified, and gave a thumbs up in praise: "As expected of the King of Qin, red and romantic, really poetic. This name should only exist in the sky. Since it falls into my hands, it should be Daqing."

Ouyang Jing praised the name, and wanted to invite the whole palace to share delicious food.

In fact, there are only 70 people in the palace, even if each person has a sheep, how much is it?Of course, this is for Ouyang Jing.

Ouyang Jing bought fifty sheep at one go, sent them to the Tang's canteen, chopped them with a knife and an axe, fried them,

King Qin held a family banquet in the big garden and invited Xu Luochen and Ouyang Jing to sit on it.The main concubine was busy and didn't come. The Ximen side concubine Meng and two beauties were present, as well as a large group of secretaries, children, old slaves, and young slaves.Ouyang Jing was courteous, saluted to Ximen side concubine Meng side concubine, in a few short sentences, it seemed as if he was familiar with old people.

And Xu Luochen kept his head down the whole time.This guy doesn't know what's wrong with him, he can't lift his head up when he sees a woman, he feels very restrained, he just eats meat and drinks without saying a word.Until the banquet was almost over, Xu Luochen didn't remember what Ximen Wanting and Meng Can looked like.

He also ignored those secretaries.For him, this banquet is to eat and drink.Ouyang Jing said, even if you know someone, it's fine if you just eat and drink like this, it's really a waste of time.But Xu Luochen remained unmoved and remained the same.

"My lord, Granny Niu woke up. She said she smelled mutton and wanted to eat some." Lin Juan, Secretary of the Palace of the Palace, came to King Qin with a small basin in her hand and said happily.

The king of Qin was overjoyed, and said to chop up the meat and send it to his mother-in-law, and then send some thick soup, but...

Qin Wang hadn't finished speaking when he saw Xu Luochen stare: "No! Don't eat a single bite! Give her millet porridge, especially the floating film rice oil on top of the millet porridge. Then crush the cucumber seeds into powder and swallow it with warm water .”

Su Yu smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know Granny Niu, she is pure childlike, if you don't bring her the meat and soup, she will get angry and refuse to eat it. Take the meat and soup and put it aside , just say it’s hers and no one else is allowed to touch it. Then she can rest assured. Let her drink porridge at this time, just say it’s a good medicine for curing diseases, so she can be obedient.”
