Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The weather is getting colder and colder, and the water tank in the patio has begun to freeze.

    But for Mr. Zhao, who is "bedridden", the cold weather is a good thing. Xishan Coal Industry can sell more coal lotus roots.  The longer the cold winter lasts, the higher the stock price will rise.

    At this time, it was three o'clock in the morning. He was wearing a navy blue lake silk nightgown and lying on his back on the warm fire bed.  In the open mahogany box on the side, there are razors, combs and grates neatly arranged on the red velvet backing, as well as small scissors, ear picks and the like, and there are more than a dozen exquisite pruning tools.

    Sister Ma is cutting his hair.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT THE BODY  But just ask the girls around you, how uncomfortable it is to have thick and dense hair?

    And do you know how difficult it is to have long hair?  Medical conditions in this era were so poor that people could die from a cold. Therefore, before the invention of the hair dryer, poor families rarely washed their hair.  If I don't get a haircut, will my head become a lice nest?  How could anyone bear it?

    So don¡¯t think too rigidly about the ancients. People have always had haircuts, but they have a cover-up term called ¡®hair cleansing¡¯.  People who are particular about it need to trim their beards and hair once every few months. When the day is good, they can ask a hair salon master to come over and trim their beard and hair.  The most common hairstyle is to trim the sideburns and back of the neck, thin the hair, and cut it short enough to hold the bun.

    ¡°Because adult men all pull up all their hair into a bun, and not even a single strand of hair can be let down. If the hair is too much, it really can¡¯t be pulled back so neatly.  In fact, braided hair is also a hairstyle, and it must be trimmed constantly to keep it neat.

    Of course, as a workaround, the hair after cutting must be collected and not thrown away.  The trimmed fingernails will also be preserved and taken into the coffin after death. The hair and skin of the body will be treated as such by the parents and they will not dare to damage them.

    There was also a special hair salon in the Ming Dynasty, which provided people with services such as haircuts and facial cleansing, as well as ear cleaning, nose hair trimming, eye cleaning, head, neck and shoulder massage, and even hair dyeing And as in the future, hair dyeing earned the most money.  Generous, as both women and officials are loyal users of the service.

    As an invincible secretary who can warm the bed around the clock, Sister Ma has been taking care of Mr. Zhao¡¯s hair care affairs in recent years.  With her ingenuity and dexterity, she has already mastered the art of hairdressing, making haircut a kind of enjoyment.

    At this time, Zhao Hao¡¯s hair has been trimmed.  He always asked Sister Ma to cut her hair to the shortest possible length, as long as it could be held in a bun.  He even considered wearing a fake bun, but that thing could cover up prickly heat when placed on the top of his head and was not as good as his own hair, so Mr. Zhao had no choice but to grow his hair to medium length.

    Sister Ma put down the scraper and carefully put the cut hair bit by bit into a special jade box.

    At this moment, Sister Qiaoqiao brought warm water from a copper basin, placed it on the short pedestal under the edge of the kang, and began to wash and massage Zhao Hao's hair.  Don't mention it, Qiaoqiao's hands for kneading dough are as strong as sister Ma's when pressed, and the force is so strong that it feels so good and painful!

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Mr. Zhao finished washing his hair and entered the next step, which is also the most troublesome stage of drying.  When he first moved into Caijiaxiang, Zhao Hao just shook it off and wiped it directly with a cloth, but this was too slow and difficult to dry.

    Now the sisters will first use their hands to wring out the water in his hair as much as possible, then use cotton cloth to absorb the water, then spread his hair and dry it strand by strand with special suede.  In addition, the heating in the room ensures that his hair is dry and he will not catch a cold.

    It takes a long time to comb your hair. The whole set takes at least an hour. It is true that only the rich can afford it.

    Even if he didn¡¯t need to do anything, Zhao Hao found it troublesome, so he only washed it once a day in the summer.  When winter comes, I wash my hair every three days.

    Mr. Zhao was sitting in front of the mirror, Qiao Qiao stood behind him and combed his hair, while Secretary Ma began to report to him yesterday's movements in Beijing.

    "Cao Daye's bullet was rejected by the cabinet on the grounds that the procedure was illegal. Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Siwei's memorial to plead guilty reached the cabinet first, saying that the contents of the vote mentioned in the letter were rumors he heard from his servants, and  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not. I just told my uncle and asked him to make his own judgment.¡±

    "Haha." Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing and said: "You really have a bad temper. It's not your fault whether you live or die."

    "The more important a person is, the less willing he is to admit his mistakes, except the young master, of course." Secretary Ma said with a smile.

    "That means I'm not big enough yet." Zhao Hao smiled evilly and said, "I have to continue to grow."

    Secretary Ma pretended not to understand, and continued to report: "In addition, Eunuch Chen, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, also apologized to the emperor earlier and admitted that he was lax in his duties and allowed the young eunuch to reveal the decree in advance."

    ¡°?sp; After learning that Zhao Hao had finally obtained the crucial four votes at a huge cost, Zhang Juzheng finally assured Gao Gong that there was no need to delay any more and the second court meeting could be held.

    In the end, in the second court meeting on the first day of winter, the forty-five voting ministers finally voted 20 votes in favor, 20 votes against, and five abstentions.

    According to the rules, if the two sides are in a stalemate, they should respectfully ask for a decision, and the emperor will decide who to listen to, or discuss it further.  Of course, Humong chose to listen to Master Gao, so according to Gao Gong's wishes, he approved Wang Chonggu's peace petition, decreed to confer Anda as King of Shunyi, and allowed him to pay tribute and trade with his tribe. From then on, there was no war between the Ming Dynasty and the right-wing Mongolia.  The long-term threat from Mongolia has been basically eliminated!

    Historically known as "I answered the tribute".  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
