Chapter VII

Seven beards are often two-lipped, and Wang Chu's thick beard is just a painting. He had a beard twenty years ago. At that time, the upper lip of an official was

hairy, which was not enough to show his identity, just like the ancient western philosopher had a long chin to show his wisdom. He works as a secretary in the provincial

Military Supervision Department, and the water chestnut beard left by that marshal, like the one transplanted from Rendan's advertisement, is awesome. He didn't dare to grow the same beard, lest the guard blame him for his arrogance; The commander-in-chief is Wu Ling's rounded beard, and he just wants to have a smaller Hong Ling pointed beard.

Who knows that people who don't have a gun shaft have a bad beard, which is thin and soft, hanging on both sides of the quarrel, just like the

in the new punctuation, which can neither stand up but also not float gracefully. His two thick black eyebrows can compete with those of the birthday girl

, as if he accidentally shaved off all his eyebrows and beard when he first shaved, and hurriedly put them on, and the beard changed places with the eyebrows

; The eyebrows on the mouth are not long at all, and the beard on the forehead is thriving. This kind of beard, don't leave

. He married this lady five years ago, which was just a good excuse to shave. However, like all bureaucrats, robbers, gambler and speculators, he believed in fate. Astrologers say that he is "wood" shaped, and his hair and beard are like branches and leaves of trees. Without them, the trees are withered. Of course, people over 4 are half bald, and all these beards indicate that the old trees are blooming and they are still alive. But for the sake of the 25-year-old new lady, we can't be stingy, so we shaved off two strands and left the middle one, and because < P > this one was not strong enough, it was trimmed into a movie star-like line. This incident will inevitably ruin the geomantic omen on the face, and the unpleasant things will come one after another.

when the new wife entered the house, she fell ill. Wang Chuhou was impeached by someone himself, but the official couldn't do it. Thanks to the somersault of the official, like a cat falling from a height, it always landed on all fours, so as not to be too embarrassed. He doesn't rely on salary, so he explains it. Moreover, he is

an old-school celebrity with the habits of the former Qing Dynasty. He is very elegant when he is an official, so he can talk about learning when he retires. My wife's illness is always like this, not getting worse. This may still be the effect of that beard, and luck is not bad to the end.

If these beards can keep some luck, it goes without saying that Wang Chuhou's good luck is even worse when his beard is not shaved. For example, his original wife, the dross, died in fun and asked him to marry the beautiful second wife. After more than 2 years of marriage, all the sons born to < P > graduated from college, and this wife died long ago. The death of a wife is still the most economical thing. Although the funeral costs a sum of money, is there no alimony for divorce? Don't bigamy cost two things? Many people have damn wives, just like Wang Chuhou has the luck to mourn in time. And at least someone will give gifts to mourn. Divorce and bigamy have no income even from this little gift, but also < P > legal fees. What's more, although Wang Chuhou is an official, he is only a scholar at heart. Scholars like people to die best, and they can write articles on mourning. Coffin shops and funeral homes only deal in the business of new dead people, and literati will grow hair on the dead people who have died for a year, a few years, decades or even hundreds of years < P >. "anniversary of death" and "3-year sacrifice" are the same good topics. Dead wife-or

dead husband, because there are female writers-this topic is especially good; Although others have literary talent, the wife or husband is only yours, which is the subject of

registered patent. When Wang Chu-hou wrote poems about his wife's death and mourning in the new funeral, he thought of the good sentences of the ancients. "It's the second time in my life for a bride and a new child." I just hate that I can't use it for a while, and I hope that I can have a child again, and then I will have a poem

"My first wife died when she died." Instead, these two sentences are embedded in the past. This poem has not been done yet. The second

Mrs. Wang went through the door and didn't have a baby, only fell ill. Taking care of illness at home has brought the disease to support the family and refused to leave her, so she is very weak all the year round, which makes her semi-old husband feel pity and fear. She studied in a university for one year, dropped out of school to recuperate due to anemia, and lived at home for four or five years. On days when her head was not dizzy and her body was not whining, she learned Chinese painting from her teacher and played the piano for recreation.

Chinese painting and piano are the cultural parts of her dowry, such as other women's university diplomas (with ebony frames) and

bachelor's hat photography (16-inch color with gold lacquer ebony frames). Wang Chuhou can't understand western music, and of course he thinks his wife plays the steel piano well. He should know a little about Chinese painting, but his wife's paintings are never bad for her husband. He always says to his guests:

"She likes making music and painting so much. It's all a waste of time. How can she be healthy!" Mrs. Wang said modestly to the guests, "I am in poor health and can't do these things often, so I can't draw well and play the piano well." Since moving to this small village, Mrs. Wang has been so lonely that she often quarrels with her husband. She has a delicate status and looks down on the wives of her husband and colleagues, feeling that they are cold and embarrassed. Her

husband is uneasy that single male colleagues often come to his home and think they are young. Gao Songnian knew that she was bored at home and was willing to invite her to work in < P > school. Mrs. Wang is a smart person and refuses. On the one hand, she knew that she was not qualified, and at most she was a small clerk, which hurt her health. Secondly, She knows that this is a man's world, and countries with developed women's rights, like Britain and the United States, only invite men to be gods, saying only

He, not she. When a woman goes out to do things, no matter how high her status is, she is still used by men. Only when she doesn't come out and hide behind the scenes,

she can use her qualifications as a wife or mistress to instruct and manipulate men. Miss Fan, a female tutor and lecturer in the Department of Education, is her admirer, and has quite a lot of contacts with each other.
