In 1762, on the second day of the second lunar month, Qianlong asked people to come and shave their heads. Unexpectedly, the two shaving masters used razors to cut Qianlong's head, frightening the barber shopkeeper to flee quickly. The eunuch had no choice but to invite a primary school apprentice, but the result was that Qianlong was full of praise.
At that time, Qianlong was making a private visit to Jiangnan Micro Service. When he got up this morning, he heard that the street was extremely lively, so he asked the little eunuch, "What is the good thing about this today, why is the street so lively?" ”
The little eunuch replied respectfully, "Long live Grandpa Hui, today is the second of February, it is a good day for the dragon to look up, and the people are busy shaving their heads in the streets in order to please a good color." Qianlong continued, "That's right, then you can also go find me a shaver, I am also very happy." ”
The little eunuch, who had received his will, turned and went to one of the best barber shops in the city, and he told the treasurer, "You are blessed, and mortals may not be able to shave the head of Grandpa Banzai in this poor life, and they are not quick to call you, the best shaver." ”
The treasurer thought to himself: This is to serve The Viva Grandpa well, and it will not be delicious and spicy in the future. Thinking of this, he immediately greeted the little eunuch with a smile and called out Master No. 1 to go with him.
On the way, the little eunuch explained to Master No. 1: "After seeing Grandpa Banzai in a while, you must be polite, you must not be sloppy, and you can just listen to what Grandpa Banzai says." Master No. 1 nodded and thanked the little eunuch one after another.
After a while, Master No. 1 came to the front of the palace, and Qianlong specially explained to him: "Shave my head, you must know three rules, the first is not to have bad breath, the second is not allowed to breathe heavily at me, and the third is not allowed to scratch my head." ”
The first time he saw the emperor, Master No. 1 was nervous and stumbled when he spoke: "Obey... Yes, sir. He picked up the razor and began to operate on Qianlong's head. Without waiting for a few shavings, Master No. 1 began to shake his hands, and accidentally left a bloody opening in Qianlong's head.
Qianlong had a seizure on the spot and shouted angrily: "Pull me down and cut off his head." Master No. 1 hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness: "Long live Grandpa To spare the lives of the grass people..." Unfortunately, it was useless, and Qianlong still ordered someone to cut off his head.
After solving master number one, Qianlong said to the little eunuch, "You go find another one." The little eunuch came to the barber shop again, and the treasurer arranged for Master No. 2 to accompany him this time.
It was still the same process, the little eunuch taught the second master etiquette on the road, and Qianlong personally told him three rules.
However, when shaving his head, Master No. 2's hand was shaking all the time, and the more he tried to control it, the more he couldn't control it, and he accidentally left a bloody opening in Qianlong's head. Qianlong was furious and slapped the table: "Are you going to assassinate me?" Pull me down and cut off his head. ”
After solving the second master, Qianlong shouted at the little eunuch: "Go and call the treasurer, I want to see what kind of shop this is?" ”
The little eunuch came to the city again and asked the treasurer to go with him. This treasurer is not stupid, he thought: Two people in a row have not returned, Mo said that he was rich, I am afraid that it is time for me to die.
The treasurer said to the little eunuch, "Father-in-law, wait, I will go and change clothes." Taking advantage of this opportunity, he packed up some gold and silver and fled through the back door.
By the time the little eunuch reacted, there was no trace of the treasurer in the shop, and only a primary school apprentice was there to shave the winter melon without hurry.
The little eunuch panicked in an instant, how could this be a difference with the emperor? At this time, the primary school disciple said: "Father-in-law don't look for it, the treasurer is afraid of running away, or I will try it with you?" ”
The little eunuch muttered, "Those two masters can't do it, how can you, an apprentice who is still shaving winter melon, don't make a mess of me." Hearing this, the elementary school disciple was also reluctant and explained: "What's wrong with shaving winter melon, I have a solid foundation, you asked me to try it." ”
The little eunuch could not think of any other way for a while, so he had to take the primary school apprentice with him.
After the rules were taught, the primary school disciple picked up a razor and shaved Qianlong's head steadily. Within a few moments, he had finished shaving and did not hurt Qianlong.
Qianlong finally showed a smiling face, and complained to the little eunuch: "Please invite him to come first, so that you will not leave two bloody holes in my head." The little eunuch did not dare to object, and could only say "yes yes yes" three times in a row.
At this time, the primary school disciple answered: "Long live Grandpa, this can not blame the father-in-law, those two masters are afraid of you, it is easy to shake your hands, only to hurt your faucet." Hearing this, Qianlong asked curiously, "Then are you not afraid of me?" ”
Elementary school disciples thought: How not to be afraid, when I cut your hair, I thought about it, if it really hurts you, I will directly wipe your neck, and my little life will be worth it.
Although he dared to think so, he did not dare to say so, so he had to say: "You are the True Dragon Heavenly Son, this razor is in my hand, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Qianlong smiled and ordered, "Reward, you will be responsible for shaving my head from now on." ”
Since then, primary school apprentices have embarked on the peak of their lives.
In fact, Master No. 1 and Master No. 2 shaved their heads, but because they were afraid of Qianlong, they lost their lives and careers. However, the primary school apprentices, with solid craftsmanship and super high psychological quality, finally succeeded in turning the tables against the wind.
It can be seen how important it is to have a strong psychological quality!
