Chapter 2124 The Flower War (32)

In "Zhuangzi Miscellaneous Chapters", a person named Xu Wugui was mentioned. He got the opportunity to meet Wei Wuhou through Wei Wuhou's favored concubine.

First, he was not lobbying Marquis Wu of Wei to accept his doctrine like the famous scholars at that time. Second, he was not joining forces like Su, Qin, and Zhang Yi to discuss alliances between countries. He was here to condolences to Marquis Wu of Wei.

Why do the princes of a great country need a man who lives in seclusion in the mountains to express condolences?

Xu Wugui was just playing with Wei Wuhou. This ruler who loved the people had not been happy for a long time. Wei Wuhou was indeed very happy after chatting with Xu Wugui.

"Nong Wan" is a kind of juggling, in which the performer throws and catches several balls with both hands in a circular motion. This kind of juggling is also very common in Europe. The difference is that the Chu people Yi Liao mentioned by Xu Wugui play "Wan Ling"

, will make a sound. There are similar jugglers on the streets of Guangzhou, who throw "pill bells" and make a whine sound.

Wan Ning had never seen such a scene before. Like a child, she stood there watching it for a while and then refused to leave. Later, her maid coaxed her and there was something else to see ahead, so she was reluctant to leave.

.

It’s not that the women of the wealthy can’t go out. Thanks to the years of hard work of the priests, they can go out. But they must bring an umbrella with them when they go out. The shadow of the umbrella covers their faces, as if they can’t be seen by passers-by.

Find out what they look like.

Nick looked at Wan Ning, who was wearing a broad robe and long sleeves, and then recalled those aristocratic women wearing transparent tulle in Paris salons, feeling that he was living in a strange and crazy world.

At this time, Wan Ning saw other interesting things, and ran over excitedly. There are many kinds of puppets in folk puppet shows. In addition to string puppets, those performed in water tanks are called water puppets.

Gunpowder-driven machines are called gunpowder puppets. They spray sparks on the stage and look colorful.

The behavior of benevolence and righteousness is only without sincerity, and it is a tool of greed and greed. Therefore, one person's control can benefit the world, just like a man. Yao knew that virtuous people benefited the world, but did not know that they were ruthless to the world.

The sage knows that Hu Wei is outside.

Xu Wugui's words mean that benevolence and righteousness are a good thing that can win over people's hearts, but if a gentleman has a "template", then there will be hypocritical and cunning people who will follow this template to disguise themselves. Not only are they hypocritical, but they are also fake.

Promote yourself with benevolence and righteousness, and benefit the world.

It's like a mask. When you put it on, you become the Monkey King. But in the play, the person who pretends to be is the Monkey King, no matter what your name is after taking off the makeup.

In Buddhism, there is no difference between self-nature and true nature. Don’t you know what your true nature is?

The puppet show also had a voice actor, who let out a hearty laugh. Wan Ning and her maid were startled and immediately left the booth.

In addition to Nick, there are several other family members in the Admiral's Mansion who are secretly protecting them.

After all, the admiral still loved his daughter. He could actually have asked the priest to perform the surgery on the young lady two years ago, but he had to wait until his daughter was past the age for the draft and he was about to leave Guangzhou before doing so.

Many men don't want to be someone else's son-in-law. If they become a son-in-law, they will be offended and the children they have will not have their own surname.

Women who marry into other people's families still have to suffer, and the children they give birth to don't have their own surname.

Of course, you can do whatever you want in your own territory, but this kind of "family scandal" will not be publicized. Everyone has to "act" like a harmonious family and a virtuous wife and filial son. This behavior is actually because they want to gain the respect of others.

and envy, and have to deliberately flaunt and reveal themselves.

When the inner simplicity disappears, external modifications are needed. Wei Wuhou has always wanted to be a monarch who loves the people. After getting to know him well, Xu Wugui told him: Your so-called love for the people is actually the beginning of harming the people. Please stop.

A war waged for the sake of morality is just the root of creating new disputes. If you start governance from this aspect, I am afraid you will not achieve anything. However, if you achieve a good reputation, you must have used evil means. Although you are promoting

Benevolence and righteousness are closer to hypocrisy.

Qianlong pardoned the fines paid by the salt merchants involved in the Lianghuai salt case. He seemed to have gained a reputation for generosity, but in fact he used loan sharking to collect 10 million taels with interest.

It's also lending. Louis XIV gave mortgages to nobles so that they could buy luxury goods and live a luxurious palace life. If the salt merchants had a choice, which one would they choose?

When Xu Wugui looked at dogs, he said that low-grade dogs only want to fill their stomachs, medium-grade dogs always seem to stare upward, and high-grade dogs always seem to forget their own existence.

In a Paris salon, if you can't talk about the latest trendy topics, others will definitely laugh at you or even not chat with that person. But if you ask those pampered people how much sous is a pound of bread, they won't care at all.

After Marie Antoinette was beheaded, someone said she said something like, "If the common people can't afford bread, why don't they eat cake?"

Allowing free trade in grain is ostensibly for the benefit of farmers, but in fact it is for their own selfish interests. How many people have made a fortune because of grain trade.

"If he were a nobleman, I would pardon him," Bonaparte said.

"Nick is just a fictional character," Georgiana said.

"A bet?" he asked.

Georgiana hesitated, decided not to take the risk, and continued reading the book in her hand.

"Wan Ning."

They heard someone calling the lady's name. Everyone followed the voice and looked over, and found that it was Cao Xi who was wearing official robes and seemed to be leading troops on patrol.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief. The smile on the young lady's face quickly disappeared like morning dew on a rose.

"This is the French!" cursed Bonaparte.

Georgiana looked at him speechlessly.

"How could she go out on the street with someone other than her fiancé!"

"They are not married," said Georgiana.

"Have you not seen The Troubles of Young Werther? An upright woman..."

"They haven't officially signed a marriage contract yet." Georgiana stopped him. "It's just rumors. Cao Xi is the most likely candidate."

He looked at her with terrible eyes.

"I will not condemn Wan Ning with you. This is my true thought." She stared into his eyes and said, "Or do you want to hear me say nice things to please you?"

He turned his head and looked in the other direction, looking angry.

Georgiana was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to read the content in the book.

Nick thought it was no big deal. He made a woman who had just experienced a fright regain her happiness, which is what a knight should do.

But Cao Xi didn't think so. He walked to Wan Ning and communicated with her quickly. Wan Ning's expression remained serious, and finally went back with Cao Xi.

This is a pity, because she obviously still wants to go shopping, but safety issues do need to be considered.

Nick watched them leave. Each of these soldiers had a lantern hanging on the rifle, and the braids on the back of their heads were fluttering in the wind, like fireflies flying in a row.

When it got dark, the grand fireworks show began. Their use of fireworks was amazing, and they actually used fireworks to outline a huge grape.

In addition, lanterns on the street were also lit. Some people made the lanterns extremely complicated. For example, a horizontal runner was installed in the lantern, just like using hot air to drive a rotating barbecue fork. There are thin wires in the runner, which rotates

The wheels drive animals, riders or shadow puppets in the shape of ghosts and gods. These shadows are projected on the gauze, as if they are running or flying.
