pm | Smoke and clouds in Beijing (7th Dec 22 at 12:27am UTC) | | Before anyone in the family got up, Uncle Yao went back to the house, happy and excited. The dew was very heavy, and Luo Da had a little cough. At this time, he needed to make a pot of hot tea. Uncle Yao often slept alone, and he did not marry a concubine. The head of the rich family was indifferent to everything except books, antiques, and children. He had two reasons for not taking a concubine. First, the wife is not allowed. Second, there was a sudden change in his life when he married Mulan's mother in his thirties. Under that sudden change, he changed from a prodigal son who was greedy for wine and lust to a true Taoist sage. Before that time, his life had been a dark time for his family. He drank, gambled, rode horses, fenced, boxed, played with women, kept singing girls, kept prostitutes, wandered in Jianghu, and made friends with ministers. But he suddenly changed. A year after his marriage, his father died, leaving him a huge fortune. In Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou and Peiping, there were medicine shops and tea shops, often selling medicinal materials from Sichuan, tea from Fujian and Anhui, and several pawnshops. In those years, the development and changes of his inner spirit are really mysterious and unpredictable. Before and after marriage, even his wife did not know whether he had really changed his face and heart to be a new man. He gave up gambling, suddenly stopped drinking, which was famous for its great quantities,Magnesium Oxide MgO, and completely stopped indulging in sex and other things that damaged his iron body. He also abandoned business, because his brother-in-law, Uncle Feng, was an old businessman, and he was completely in charge of it. Between the 24th and 26th years of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, new ideas were popular everywhere. Those who advocated new ideas were those who launched the Reform Movement and later failed to carry out a coup d'etat, which eventually led to Emperor Guangxu being imprisoned in Yingtai. Uncle Yao also absorbed new ideas from the popular newspapers, magazines and books at that time. When Lota went to make tea, Uncle Yao did not go to the courtyard where his wife lived (where the children slept with her), but went to the study in the front courtyard. He lay on the Kang and thought about what he would do that day. He always lived in his study when he began a period of health cultivation. Get up at midnight and sit cross-legged in meditation. On the forehead, on the temples, on the cheeks, on the chin, and then on the palms and soles of the hands and feet, it is necessary to rub a fixed number of times, and then control breathing, Magnesium Oxide price ,Magnesium Oxide MgO, breathe into the Dantian again, regulate and swallow saliva. In this way, under the stimulation of circulation and control of breathing, in the silence of the night, he can hear how the blood in his intestines circulates and how it converges into the Dantian. This kind of work takes ten minutes, sometimes fifteen minutes, sometimes twenty minutes. This is the work of nourishing Qi. At regular intervals he rubbed the palms of his hands and feet. But he never overworked himself, and when he felt that the blood was flowing through his legs, that his whole body was ruddy, and that he had a very comfortable and wonderful feeling, he stopped immediately. Then relax and lie down for a sweet sleep. Luo Da lifted the curtain, came in with a teapot, poured a cup of hot tea, and put it in front of the bed. Uncle Yao rinsed his mouth and spat the tea into the spittoon. "Sir," said Luo Da, "this road is difficult enough. You must have a good rest today. I don't know if I can hire a car. There was a reply this morning. He poured another bowl of tea for the master. Then he said: "I have thought about it carefully.". Uncle Feng had better stay at home. I can't carry this burden alone. Take Qingxia, Brocade, Silverscreen, and Frankincense. At this age, young women will be in trouble. "Not bad," said Uncle Yao. Ask Laoding and Laozhang to look after the house with you. But Mr. Feng wants to go with us. Laoding and Laozhang are all assistants in the pharmacy. The pharmacy is not far from the south of Lord Ma Hutong. Because it only sells Chinese medicine and tea, it has no contact with foreigners, so it has not been robbed until now. Luo Da replied, "I'll go and call them, but don't look for anyone else.". Less people, less trouble. What about the shop? "The two Chen brothers need to be in the shop.". There's nothing to steal without the herbs. Why did they steal that? We don't have foreign mirrors to let them drop, and the shop has to keep its door closed until the situation improves. A few days ago, Bowei was robbed, and the clocks and mirrors were smashed. A man took a bottle of perfume to drink. When he drank it, his face turned pale and he fell to the ground and shouted. He said he was poisoned after drinking foreign medicine. A boy who worked in that foreign firm said that they thought the telephone was a demon mine, which was installed there to kill them, so they smashed the telephone and cut the wires. Someone grabbed a model of a foreign woman, tore off her clothes, and carried the naked model of a foreign woman on her shoulders all over the street. The crowd cheered and made fun of the foreign woman. The children ran to grab the golden hair and fight. Both Luo Da and Uncle Yao burst out laughing. Now it was bright, and there were voices in the yard. Lota rolled up the paper curtains. It was a hot day. Summer nights are always cool in Beijing. In the daytime, because it is a bungalow, the residents put down the Korean paper curtains to block the sunshine, making the house as cool as the basement. This year, Uncle Yao did not ask someone to put up an arbor in the yard and on the roof with a reed mat. We used to build an arbor in summer. With the arbor above, the house and yard are like the shade of a big tree, while the air can still circulate. Because of the fists' rebellion in May, there were too many fires everywhere, and the arbor made of fir poles and reed mats was easy to catch fire, and the house would also cause fire. Lota lifted the curtain and went out of the room. Uncle Yao sat quietly for a while, and then he heard his daughter Mulan, who was the apple of his eye, call out, "Father, are you up?" At that time Mulan was still a slender child, not very big for ten years old. Her eyes were bright, and her hair was black and plaited over her shoulders. Her thin summer dress made her look even smaller. She often came to the study to listen to her father talking about all kinds of things, and his father liked to talk to her. Every morning, when her father did not sleep in her mother's house in the inner yard,dap diammonium phosphate, she came to the front yard to say good morning to her father. It's the first thing she does when she gets ready in the morning. When she came in, her father asked her, "Has Mom got up yet?" 。 stargrace-magnesite.com | |
