Chapter 1006 Fork Rod

After half an hour.

Lu Cenyin came out and came to the next room.

I asked: "Where is Xiaozhu?"

Lu Cenyin said: "She fell asleep. This girl has been homeless since she was a child. In her heart, she has always thought that her parents have passed away. She has no concept of relatives at all. She found her relatives so suddenly that she found it hard to accept."

I said: "Everything has a process of adaptation. Blood is thicker than water. When she finds her relatives, she will think it is a good thing."

Lu Cenyin said: "In her heart, this may not be a good thing."

I asked: "Why?"

Lu Cenyin looked at me and said, "Because she is worried that you won't want her anymore."

I said, "Where is this? As long as I am alive, Xiaozhu will be my sister forever?"

Lu Cenyin asked: "Really?"

I asked: "What else?"

The corners of Lu Senyin's mouth raised and he smiled indescribably.

I felt her smile was a little creepy: "No...what do you mean by laughing?"

Lu Senyin rolled her eyes at me, looked out the window, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to herself: "It's difficult."

I:"……"

Scratched his head.

I said: "Then what...go to bed quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow."

Lu Cenyin replied: "I sleep with Xiaozhu! I won't sleep with you!"

After speaking.

She turned and went out.

Early the next day.

After breakfast, we went to the mall to buy some tonics, and then took a minibus to Hengjiashan.

After a night of comfort from Lu Cenyin, Xiaozhu's mood improved significantly, and there was a smile on his face. His big eyes watched the scenery on the roadside with interest.

"Brother, look there are so many red birds there!"

"Sister, a dozen buffaloes were bathing together in the river, did you see it?"

"..."

I thought Pingtou Mountain was not far away, but it was actually quite far, and the road was very difficult to walk. The minibus drove for a long time, and at noon, the bus stopped at a large market to let guests off for dinner.

The big market in Shandong Province is very lively.

Anything for sale.

The key point is that there are stalls specializing in cooking at the market. The cooked meat is cut, and a big pot is placed on the side. You can order whatever you want, and the boss will cook the food in the pot, giving you a strong smell of fireworks.

The three of us each ordered a large bowl of beef offal soup and a few cakes.

The hot beef soup was served with almost no seasoning. The grain cakes were very large and fragrant.

We ate on the small table next to it.

Several people survived half to death.

This is the best beef offal soup and grain cake I have ever eaten in my life.

A few years later, I went to the Shandong Province Market again, hoping to get back the feeling I had back then. Unfortunately, things were different, and a lot of MSG was added to the ingredients, so I couldn't taste it at all.

The beauty of life often only lasts for a moment, and once it passes, it will never come back again.

Time is too short, I hope everyone can love bravely, laugh happily, and have fun.

The car doesn't go that fast.We walked around the market and saw a man selling pork holding a small leather pole and using it to catch flies flying on the pork.The handle of the leather pole is only the size of the palm of your hand, and the leather attached to it is not lumped together. There are several scattered strips of cowhide, more than 30 centimeters long. Because it is placed next to the butcher shop, the whole body is smooth and shiny.

The key is that there are exquisite patterns on the handle, which is eye-catching.

I walked around the butcher shop and saw the words on the handle: "Tianxiang Street Jiaofangsi."

Lu Cenyin asked in a low voice: "Did you like it?"

I nodded: "What do you think that is?"

Lu Senyin smiled: "Test me? The handle's decoration is a typical style of the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The words "Jiaofangsi" are engraved on it. It is obviously the fork used by the head of the Jiaofangsi under the Ministry of Household! It's not too old. But this kind of miscellaneous items are very rare and can be sold for a good price! If you put it in a regular auction house, it will definitely cost 40 to [-] yuan."

Briefly explain this object.

The Tang Dynasty emphasized rituals and music. Li Shimin set up an institution called Jiaofang to select court ladies with musical and performance talents for further training. When there were sacrificial activities or large-scale banquets, he summoned them to perform their talents and create an atmosphere. It was considered a relatively elegant institution. .

Later, in the Ming Dynasty, things changed.

The Jiaofangsi became a place where the wives and daughters of criminals, prisoners of war, and robbed civilian girls were imprisoned. Musical talents were also trained there, but it became an entertainment venue for senior officials. The Jiaofangsi gradually evolved into an official establishment. The brothel in China was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the people who managed the Jiaofang Division were court officials.

There is usually a madam under the official.

The madam specializes in teaching, managing, and commanding the girls in the Jiaofang Division.

But these girls turned out to be the wives and daughters of criminal ministers. They came from wealthy families and were generally not very obedient when they first entered.

At this time, the madam would often take such a fork pole, put her hands on her hips, and use it to slap anyone who was disobedient.

Don't look at this thing as small.

Because the leather whip on it is divided into several strips, soaked in tung oil, it is tough and slippery, and it will hurt many times when whipped, making life worse than death.

to later.

The term "Cha Gang'er" has become a synonym for the vicious madam, describing the powerful person behind the brothel.

A fork.

Shocked the flower field ten miles away.

Now everyone knows the origin of the lyrics: "The chapole who heads Gou Gou Ying is called Ma Hu, and the ten-mile flower field has a strange name." Right?

I saw this thing.

I can't let it go.

After all, I have been eating Lu Senyin's soft rice recently. Although it is quite delicious, I still have a little pride in my heart.

I turned around and found the driver, and took out a cigarette for him with a smile.

The driver said: "Don't smoke! Get in the car and leave!"

I said, "Don't worry! My wife's test results came out and she is pregnant with a son. She is happy today and wants to treat everyone to some meat!"

The driver asked: "What?!"

I pulled Lu Cenyin over, pointed at her belly, and deliberately said loudly: "My wife! We have been married for five years and she has not laid eggs! I took her to the city hospital for a checkup this morning, and the results have just come out. The doctor called me to tell me that I was pregnant with my son! I am happy today and will treat everyone in the car to eat meat!"

Everyone around us is looking at us.

Lu Cenyin blushed with embarrassment, feeling ashamed, angry and afraid to say anything.

Xiaozhu giggled beside him.

The driver asked: "Is it true or false?"

I took out a wad of money and said, "How can this be fake! Hahaha!"

The passengers in the car all gathered around with smiles.

When several pork sellers heard this, they chopped the meat on the chopping board with their butcher knives and came over.
