Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2124 The Battle of Flowers (Thirty-two)

   In "Zhuangzi Miscellaneous Articles", there is a person named Xu Wugui, who got the opportunity to meet Wei Wuhou through Wei Wuhou's favorite concubine.

   He was not lobbying to Marquis Wei Wu like the famous masters at that time to let him accept his own doctrine, and second he was not discussing alliances between countries like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, but he came to condolence Marquis Wei Wu.

  Why does a dignified prince of a country need a person who lives in seclusion in the mountains to offer condolences?

  Xu Wugui just played with Wei Wuhou. The ruler who loves the people has not been happy for a long time. After chatting with Xu Wugui, Wei Wuhou was really happy.

"Running pills" is a kind of juggling, in which the performer throws and catches several **** with both hands and repeats. This kind of juggling is also very common in Europe. The difference is that the Chu people Yiliao mentioned by Xu Wugui is playing "Pilling Bells". , a beep will sound. There are similar jugglers on the streets of Guangzhou, who are throwing "maru bells" and making a whimpering sound.

  Wanning had never seen such a scene, just like a child, she just stood there watching for a while and didn't want to leave. Later, it was her maid who coaxed her, and there was something else to see in front of her, so she was reluctant to leave.

It’s not that the daughters of rich people can’t go out. Thanks to the efforts of the priests for many years, they can go out of the house, but they must carry an umbrella when they go out. The shadow of the umbrella covers their faces, as if passers-by can’t see it Clear their looks.

  Nick looked at Wan Ning in a wide robe and long sleeves, and recalled the aristocratic women wearing sheer tulle in the Paris salon, feeling that he lived in a strange and crazy world.

   At this time, Wanning saw other interesting things, and ran over excitedly. There are many kinds of puppets in folk puppets. In addition to the marionettes, the water puppets perform in the water tank, and the medicine hair puppets are put in the puppets with gunpowder to drive the mechanism. They spew sparks on the stage and look colorful .

   Husband's actions of benevolence and righteousness are only without sincerity, and fake husbands and poultry are greedy. To control the world by one person's decision is like a single glutinous rice bowl. Yao knows that the wise men benefit the world, but he doesn't know that they rob the world, only the wise men know it.

Xu Wugui's words mean that benevolence and righteousness are good things that can win over people's hearts, but if a righteous gentleman has a "template", then there will be hypocrites and cunning people who disguise themselves according to this template. Benevolence and righteousness flaunt oneself, but also benefit the world.

   is like a mask, wearing it, you are the Monkey King? But in the play, the one who appears is the Monkey King, no matter what your name is after you take off your makeup.

   Self-nature is no different from your own nature in Buddhism. Don’t you know what your own nature is?

The    puppet show also has a voice actor, and he let out a burst of hearty laughter. Wan Ning and her maid were taken aback and left the booth immediately.

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

   Admiral still loves his daughter. In fact, he could have asked the priest to operate on the young lady two years ago, but he had to wait until his daughter's draft age was over and he was about to leave Guangzhou before doing so.

  Many men don't want to be someone else's son-in-law. When they are a son-in-law, they will be angry and give birth to children that don't have their own surnames.

  Women marry into other people's homes, but they are not as angry as they are, and the children born do not have their own surnames.

Of course you can do whatever you want in your own territory, but this kind of "family ugliness" won't be made public. Everyone has to "perform" the appearance of family harmony and filial piety to their wives and children. This practice is actually because they want to be respected by others. And envy, I have to deliberately flaunt and reveal myself.

When the inner simplicity disappeared, the outer decoration was needed. Wei Wuhou always wanted to be a monarch who loved the people. When he got 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 War for the sake of morality is only the bane of creating new disputes. If you govern from this aspect, I am afraid that nothing will be achieved. However, if you achieve a good reputation, you must have used evil means. Although you are promoting benevolence and righteousness, you are closer to hypocrisy.

   Qianlong pardoned the fines paid by the salt merchants who cited the Lianghuai salt case. He seemed to have gained a generous reputation, but in fact he used usury to charge 10 million taels with principal and interest.

   is also a loan. Louis XIV gave the nobles a mortgage to buy luxury goods and live a luxurious court life. If the salt merchants had a choice, which one would they choose?

   Xu Wugui said when he was like a dog, the inferior dog just wants to fill its stomach, the medium dog seems to always stare at the top, and the superior dog seems to always forget its own existence.

  In the Paris Salon, if you can't talk about the latest topic, then others will definitely laugh, not even chat with that person. But if you ask pampered people how many sows in a pound of bread, they don't care at all.

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

  Let grain free trade appear to be for the benefit of farmers, but in fact it is for their own self-interest. How many people have made a fortune because of grain trade.

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

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

   "A bet?" he asked.

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

   "Wanning."

   They heard someone call the lady's name, and everyone followed the voice and found that it was Cao Xi who was wearing an official robe and seemed to be patrolling with troops.

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

   "This is the French!" swore Bonaparte.

  Georgianna looked at him speechlessly.

   "How can she be on the street with someone other than her fiancé!"

   "They're not married," said Georgiana.

   "You haven't seen the troubles of young Werther? An upright woman..."

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

   He looked at her with terrifying eyes.

   "I won't condemn Wan Ning with you, that's what I really think." She stared at him and said, "Or do you want to listen to me and please you?"

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

  Georgianna ignored him and continued to read the contents of the book.

  Nick thinks it's no big deal, he makes a lady who has just been frightened back happy, which is what a knight should do.

   But Cao Xi didn't think so. He walked to Wanning's side and had a quick exchange with her. Wanning's expression was always serious, and finally he 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. These soldiers all had lanterns hanging from their spears, and the braids at the back of their heads fluttered in the wind, like a row of flying fireflies.

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

In addition, the lanterns on the street were also lit. Some people made the lanterns extremely complicated, such as installing a horizontal wheel in the lantern, just like driving a rotary roasting fork with hot air. Wheels are used to drive animals, riders or shadow puppets in the shape of ghosts and gods. These shadows are projected on the lanterns, as if running and flying.
