Leading the entire eight hutongs, and even the trend of dressing in Beijing, the famous prostitute "Erfeng Girl" who was extremely talented glanced at Li Lianying who was asking to see outside the door.
Zhengse Dao: If you want to enter my door, it is easy to say that it is easy and difficult to say; I have a link, I can match it, let you in; I can't, I have to fight the road back home. Listen, my uplink is:
Idle people are exempt from entering the wise
Li Lianying listened, this is the next Horse Wei. I thought to myself: Although I have been a eunuch in the palace since I was a child, in order to please Cixi, I usually read a lot of books in my spare time...
Li Lianying was a famous eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty, who was in charge of the eunuchs when Empress Dowager Cixi was in power.
Speaking of Li Lianying's growth and development history, it is inseparable from a reckoning, an experience of learning to comb her hair from the eight famous prostitutes in the eight hutongs, and a noble person in her life. This noble man believes that everyone already knows that he is the famous Empress Dowager Cixi in history.
Today I will tell you about Li Lianying's legendary arithmetic and an experience of learning to comb her hair from a famous prostitute.
When Li Lianying was about eight years old, his father Li Yu took him to visit his grandfather who lived in the capital. Counting a gua on a reckoning stall, this seemingly ordinary one has completely changed the trajectory of Li Lianying's life.
After mr. Suan Gua saw Li Lianying's face and palm, he refused to speak for half a day. Later, under the repeated requests of Li Father, the mystery was solved: Li Lianying's life was really different, it was an iron broom life, and after the age of ten, she went to her parents and brothers and sisters.
And to avoid this disaster, there are two ways: one is to enter the Buddhist gate, the other is to enter the imperial gate, entering the Buddhist gate is to let the child become a monk, and entering the imperial gate is to let the child enter the palace as a eunuch.
In total, instead of letting the child become a monk, it is better to enter the palace as a eunuch, so that life may be better.
In late October of the sixth year of Xianfeng, Li Lianying, who was only nine years old, entered the Chuxiu Palace and became a small eunuch in the combing room, which was assigned to the Nala clan for use. This Nara clan was still a concubine at the time, and later gained the favor of Xianfeng, and only after Xianfeng's death did she become the well-known Empress Dowager Cixi.
Backed by the big tree of Empress Dowager Cixi, Li Lianying gradually learned a lot of skills of "blowing and lifting" and "slapping and beating", in other words, she gradually became familiar with the bright and dark rules to be mastered as a eunuch in the palace.
Li Lianying was intelligent and willing to learn; she soon understood that his fate must be tied to Cixi, and that only by receiving Cixi's weight could she develop.
It is said that a companion is like a companion tiger, not to mention a tigress who is widowed early, and its temperament is even more elusive.
However, Li Lianying was not discouraged, always observing, waiting for the opportunity. It is said that opportunity favors the prepared mind.
No, the opportunity has come. Although Cixi said that she was an empress, after all, she was a woman, and if she was a woman, she could not avoid loving beauty. Cixi, who is still a middle-aged woman, is naturally no exception.
She heard that a new female hairstyle was popular in the capital, so she asked the eunuchs to comb it for her, but several people were not satisfied, which made Cixi angry.
Li Lianying occasionally listened to the eunuchs talk about this matter in the palace, and felt that her opportunity to get ahead had arrived.
It is said that in today's era, the entertainment industry leads the fashion trend. However, in ancient times, it was the capital that led the fashion; more precisely, it was the eight hutongs of the capital.
Among the eight hutongs, the one that best represents the trend is the first card. Some people may list the four top cards such as Xiao Fengxian and Sai Jinhua. But at that time, the four top cards were no longer beautiful; the "Erfeng Girl" in Rouge Hutong was glamorous.
If Li Lianying wants to please Cixi, she must learn the latest trend of combing her hair, and if she wants to learn the latest trend of combing her hair, she must visit the "Erfeng Girl" in Rouge Hutong.
Li Lianying was a person with a heart, and she was prepared early: first, she dressed up in disguise and changed from a eunuch to a well-mannered student; second, she prepared sufficient silver and an ancient fan with inscriptions from famous artists in the capital.
Erfeng is the famous head card of the eight hutongs, and sells art without selling itself. It is common to be the children of eunuchs in the capital who are accustomed to not learning any skills, have great wealth, and flaunt their military might; Li Lianying, who is polite to Sven, cannot help but look at him differently.
But after all, the people who stayed in the land of fireworks for a long time decided to test and test before answering Li Lianying, who offered silver two and asked for himself.
The talented prostitute "Erfeng Girl" glanced at Li Lianying, who was asking to see outside the door. Positive color path:
If you want to enter my door, it is easy to say that it is easy and difficult to say; I have a couplet, which can be right and let you in; yes, I have to go back home. Listen, my uplink is:
Li Lianying listened, this is the next Horse Wei. I thought to myself: Although I have been a eunuch in the palace since I was a child, in order to please Cixi, I usually read a lot of books in my spare time, and I thought about it a little and did not hurry to the next link:
Thieves come
When the Erfeng girl heard it, this joint battle was neat, and although she asked for someone, she was not humble. People who come are not only learned, but also courageous.
So he invited Li Lianying into the boudoir, and Li Lianying saw that the Erfeng girl's words were relaxed, but she did not say anything about learning the combing skills from her, but only praised the Erfeng girl Hui's lanxin and outstanding talent.
While talking, he took out the ancient fan that he had prepared with him and sent it to the Erfeng girl, and said that the ancient fan was matched with beauty.
Erfeng girl is also a well-informed person, how can she be bribed by a fan. But when I saw the couplet inscribed on the fan, I couldn't help but smile. Only to see that the couplet is:
Yun wants to dress and flowers
Water is like jasper mountains
Here is a paraphrase of Li Bai praising Yang Guifei, which is not to praise herself as beautiful as Yang Guifei. And it's used just right. The whole couplet has a good meaning, and the battle is neat.
When the Erfeng girl saw that Li Lianying had indeed spent her mind, she said to Yan Yuexi: What is the so-called matter of the prince's coming this time, but it does not hurt to talk about it.
Li Lianying only then came out to learn the combing skills from the Erfeng girl. Erfeng girl did not care why a man should learn the art of combing his hair, only that it was rare for a prince to look up to, and he would definitely teach it.
It is said that the famous teacher is a high apprentice, Li Lianying will learn the most fashionable hair combing technique and the latest hairstyle from the Erfeng girl, practice diligently, constantly ponder, and finally master it.
So he immediately went to find the eunuch Shen Lanyu, and begged Shen Lanyu to recommend him to brush the hair of Empress Dowager Cixi.
As soon as Shen Lanyu heard that he would do a new haircut, he immediately led him to see Empress Dowager Cixi, and Li Lianying knew that she would rely on this hair comb for half a lifetime.
Therefore, he imitated the skills of the Erfeng Girl's church and combed the latest hairstyle for Empress Dowager Cixi. After Empress Dowager Cixi dressed up, she looked left and right in the large mirror, staring at the strange hairstyle in the mirror, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
In the back, of course, Empress Dowager Cixi could not do without Li Lianying, and could not do without the little plum combing her hair every day, and Li Lianying would go straight up from then on.
Here, I do not evaluate Li Lianying's personality in history, but his work confirms a sentence to us very well:
Opportunity always comes to the prepared mind!
Whether it is its usual continuous learning, the key can be the coincidence of the Erfeng girl;
I can still capture Empress Dowager Cixi's favorite new hairstyle, and spend all her efforts to learn the skills, and finally reach the peak of life!
