Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 503

  The Chinese are hospitable. After eating Mr. Wen’s table full of dishes, he would appear impolite if he left like this. So Pomona and Severus took the elevator to the third floor under the guidance of the waitress.

It’s different from pushing cups and changing cups downstairs, and it’s very lively. The third floor is very quiet. The decoration inside is very Chinese. The vermilion wooden pillars are painted with colorful paints such as cranes. The floor is covered with thick carpets and long narrow corridors. There are a lot of vases on the top, some are as tall as a person, and some are placed on a wooden table with big and big peonies.

  This is a very different style from Zhang Tao’s minimalist pastoral style. It shows vulgar aristocracy everywhere, but there is a lot of darkness here. Listening to her own footsteps in the transition of light and shadow, her mood becomes restless.

  The Grand View Garden in Cao Xueqin's works is a place where girls are intrigues, they talk like a group of chirping swallows.

   And this place was the cage of the beast, she subconsciously grabbed Severus's arm, because only then did she feel not afraid.

  Chinese people are hospitable. At the same time, there is a saying called Yan Wu Hao Yan. At the end of Qin Dynasty, when the heroes competed, Liu Bang was once invited by Xiang Yu to have a Hongmen banquet.

  If there is poison in the food just now, then neither of them will want to go out alive. There are many Asian herbs, and not everything is as harmless as the potentilla tincture.

But if you don’t eat because you’re afraid of poisoning, it’s a “waste”. Cao Xueqin is a northerner and wrote in Chapter 60: Our family’s third-class minions are also noble than you. .

  It means that the metaphor cannot be treated equally, treat people differently, and treat different people differently.

  Chinese people like to guess riddles, and to understand the meaning of other people’s actions, just like Lubansuo, only smart people can open it.

  That table of dishes must be eaten, and it must not be as stuffy as the fat boy in the Infernal Affairs movie. Severus probably didn’t come to other people’s lair to eat.

  The good ones do not come, and the ones who come are not good. At the end of the corridor, there is a double-opened wooden door with animal faces embossed on it. It can be seen everywhere on the RMB.

The two sides of the door are also embossed. According to the style of painting, it should be "Wu Dai as the wind". Those figures look like immortals traveling in the sky. Most of them face the wooden door with animal face patterns. After looking back and watching, or talking in a low voice with her big sleeves covering her face, Pomona seemed to hear their whispers in the dark.

  She just wants to concentrate on dating, why did she go to such a terrible place?

  There is a table at the door. A gang member in formal clothes is sitting on a chair and reading a newspaper. It is not strange to see the two coming, but he nods and smiles politely.

   "Boss, the guest is here." He spoke on the intercom with a strong Cantonese flavor.

   "Let them in." The person on the other side of the walkie-talkie said.

Immediately after that, the middle-aged man at the door typed a few buttons on the keyboard hidden behind the wooden pillar, and the door with the animal face pattern slowly opened on its own. The thickness of the door is estimated to be resistant to shells, materials and tanks. The armor should be the same. Behind the door is a more magnificent large office. A large floor-to-ceiling glass window faces Chinatown. From this position, you can see the archway. There is a large desk in front of the glass window. The middle-aged man walked towards them with a smile on his face.

   "Oh, welcome two of you."

  This man is full of marketability, with a big gold ring on his hand, and a Rolex on his wrist. He seems to be an ordinary successful businessman.

  Severus ignored Mr. Wen’s outstretched hand, and instead turned to look at the decoration of his office. The smile on Mr. Wen’s face suddenly stiffened.

   Pomona immediately reached out and held him.

   "The food was very delicious just now." She said stupidly, "I like it very much."

  "Customer satisfaction is my greatest wish. If it is delicious, I will come again." Mr. Wen still said warmly and thoughtfully, and Pomona felt that this ordinary-looking Chinese became more and more like Han Chen.

  The same is true when he entertains Thai people, he keeps saying compliments, but these words are not heartily at all, they are all scenes.

   "I wonder if the two of you are looking for me?"

  Pomona looked at Severus. He was looking at a Chinese painting on the wall.

  The mounting method of Eastern calligraphy and painting is different from that of the West. The scroll painting depicts a cow hidden in the water. It has no horns. It is looking at the moon in the sky, and it does not seem to be unusual.

  It is written in the Scripture of Mountains and Seas and Great Wilderness East. There is an animal with no horns and only one hoof. There must be wind and rain in and out of the water. Its sound is the same as thunder, and its name is Kui Niu.

  The Yellow Emperor once obtained this beast, used its skin to make drums, and thunder beast's bones as drumsticks to deter enemy soldiers with the sound of drums.

Zhang Tao told her that if a craftsman puts a lot of effort into an artifact, then it will be alive. From that painting, Pomona feels a kind of fluctuation, which reminds her of the story of the magical brush Ma Liang. This vivid Kui Niu will jump out of the painting at any time.

  Ma Yourong is a "painter" and an artist like Wang Wei's "poet".

  "Are you a wizard?" Mr. Wen suddenly changed his attitude. The stock market breath on him disappeared, but he seemed to be wearing another disguise.

   "Yes." Pomona said without hesitation.

   "Are you Aurors?"

   "No, we are freelancers."

   "That painting, how do you summon the contents in it?" Severus asked Mr. Wen.

   "The little horse told me that it would jump out to save me when I was in danger." Mr. Wen smiled calmly and said, "Do you want to do something dangerous? Mr. Wizard?"

   "I thought wizards could not participate in the Muggle War."

   "Now that the world is peaceful, there is no war." Mr. Wen said mockingly, "not to mention that we civilians can participate in decision-making for such big things."

In ancient Confucianism, the people were divided into the four classes of scholars, agriculture, industry, and commerce. Many scholars actually did not figure out a concept. No matter how the scholar-official class got close to the nobles, he was still a citizen, not among the aristocrats. People".

  His food, clothing, housing, and transportation have the same standards as the nobles. Han Chuang studied for so many years to become a "scholar" and can no longer engage in manual labor like ordinary civilians.

  A correct view of the manual labor class can be supported by them. Plants need to be cultivated to become food. Only a stable food source can discuss governance and civilization. This is the reason why the ancient farming civilization developed faster than the nomadic civilization.

  There is a saying in the West that there is no free lunch in the world. Breakfast and dinner in the Middle Ages are very simple. Only lunch is the main meal. This sentence is now believed as a truth, just as people in the Middle Ages believed that the earth is flat.

  However, there is really a free lunch in this world. Lu Qinzhai gave Chinese students studying in France a free lunch to eat.

  He is reselling cultural relics, but he used the money from reselling cultural relics to do good things and satisfy his desire to be an upper-class person. Is he a good person or a bad person?

  Unknown life, Yan knows death.

   "Things to people" is not that simple.

  Zi said: Meals, food, drinking water, bending arms and pillows, music is also in it. Injustice, wealth and nobility, are like clouds to me.

When a “literati” who longs to be separated from the common people and appears to be unique meets consumerism, it is like dry wood meets a raging fire, adulterer meets sex, consumption desire and passion are infinitely expanded, but there is no Enough money to support one's material desires, so various corruption incidents such as corruption, bribery, and favoritism have appeared.

   Scholars are also the people. If they forget their essence, they will be separated from the masses. This is the greatest danger for any political party to govern.

  People who are full of food all day long can know the sufferings of the world.

  Money can buy food in peace, but it cannot buy food under special circumstances.

  In the battle between Qin and Zhao, the State of Zhao asked Qi to buy food, but Qi did not lend it to Zhao.

  The king of Qi made a wishful calculation, and the snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit. After Qin and Zhao were greatly injured, he would be able to unite the world, but unfortunately things went against his wishes.

  In 259 BC, a baby was born in Handan, the capital of the Zhao Kingdom. This person was named Zhao Zheng. Just one year before his birth, the battle of Changping ended and the people of Qin killed 400,000 soldiers in Zhao Kingdom. Zhao Zheng’s father, the foreigner, was the proton seized by Qin in the State of Zhao. With the “diplomatic relations” between the two countries at that time, it is not surprising that the foreigner was killed by the angry King Zhao, but he fled Handan with the help of Lu Buwei. Left Zhao Zheng and his mother Zhao Ji in the presence of powerful enemies.

  Zhao Zheng grew up in blood, famine, and prejudice. His coming-of-age ceremony started with the sacrifice of two brothers of the same mother.

  The scholars hate him and call him a tyrant in history books, but the Chinese people call him Zulong, which was written in the book of Emperor Qin Shihuang by Sima Qian.

  The last emperor, the first emperor...It makes people feel infinitely embarrassed.
