Reborn as a rich woman: rich and leisurely

Are these things sold around here?

No, does the Imperial Capital sell this thing? In her memory, this was something only her grandmother did.

Miraculously, after Alston finished burning, his bodyguard also asked Lin Jing for paper money to burn?

Lin Jing asked: "Who do you want to burn it to?"

Jack said: "A friend of mine."

Lin Jing reminded: "Paper money is burned to the dead."

"I know." Jack said: "I missed his funeral, and I always feel like I missed something very important but can no longer complete it. Maybe this can help me complete it."

Lin Jing didn't ask any more questions and gave him a stack of paper money.

Long Juan felt that her world view had collapsed again.

The first time was after going abroad and seeing the gap between foreign countries and her own country. At that moment, she wondered how many generations would it take to close such a gap.

The sense of gap even made her feel unable to support her previous beliefs. She desperately wanted to tell others how far the gap between China and foreign countries was, and that they should cheer up and develop, but she didn't seem to know how to say it.

The feeling of powerlessness that seemed to be of no use always made her feel like there were two people competing in her heart, making it difficult for her to concentrate on achieving the goals she had set.

Now there is another gap.

It seems that I still can't explain it, why should I even explain it? I felt like there was still a hint of joy in my heart.

Kuang Rulan didn't have such strong feelings as she did. She didn't believe it or object to it, she just thought it was funny. "Sister Jingjing, you can dance like this."

Lin Jing didn't think so, she was very self-aware, "I'm too young, and others won't believe me if I try to perform well."

Kuang Rulan nodded: "Yes."

Long Juan...have you really thought about it?

Auston didn’t understand and asked, “What is the Great Dancer?”

Long Juan......

Lin Jing briefly explained this ritual. The customs and forms vary in different places. Most of them pray for the gods to possess them to solve the confusion of living people.

"Is it true?" Auston obviously heard this for the first time and found it very magical and fresh. "Is there anyone like this in China?"

Lin Jing smiled and said: "These are all products of a time when traditional thinking was relatively closed. Mainly because many things could not be explained scientifically, and people were troubled by the past. They were rituals used to gain some peace in the heart. Some It has also been used as a way to defraud money.”

"That's it." Auston said he understood.

Long Juan...you knew it was a lie, but you still said it?

"Then, what's going on in your TV show that when you cut a knife and there is blood on the paper, and then the disease is cured?" Auston has been full of strange stories about China since his wife was confirmed to be pregnant by an old Chinese doctor. Curious.

Lin Jing replied: "To explain it scientifically, it is actually a chemical reaction. The knives commonly used are usually soaked in water with alkali added, and the paper being cut is yellow paper soaked in phenolphthalein. The knife When you cut it, a chemical reaction occurred, and red marks appeared on the paper, which looked like blood."

"Of course, different places may also use different raw materials, and that's pretty much the operation."

Long Juan... I knew it was a lie. Do you know what it is for?

Auston was a little disappointed, obviously his expectations were very high, "Is that all a lie?"

"Not entirely." Lin Jing explained patiently, "Some people are seriously ill and uncomfortable due to psychological reasons such as being frightened and overly worried. This method of exorcising ghosts and diseases is more effective than medicine. It can be called Heart medicine has practical significance."

“Others are limited by local economic and medical conditions, coupled with underdeveloped transportation, and it is difficult to obtain effective medical assistance when sick, so these folk remedies can only be used to obtain comfort treatment.

Many times, the sacred water given by the goddess will contain sedative drugs such as cinnabar, which can make the patient's body feel better in a short period of time. In addition, it is believed that the goddess has succeeded in exorcising ghosts, and some self-healing diseases also have certain effects. The odds will improve. "

"However, modern medicine in China has developed, and these bad habits have gradually decreased."

Long Juan also gained a new understanding of this crooked way: It turns out to be like this.

Kuang Rulan looked admiring: "Sister Jingjing, you know a lot."

Lin Jing nodded: "I used to drink a bowl of Talisman Water to treat stomach pain, and then my stomach really didn't hurt anymore. But after reading more, I heard that it was all a lie, and that Talisman Water was poisonous, so I learned more about it. one time."

Kuang Rulan found herself speechless.

Auston said he understood, "Sister Jingjing, can you take me for a drink next time?"

Lin Jing……

Is there something wrong with her expression? She doubted that he only understood part of it. She explained: "Cinnabar is toxic to a certain extent, but cinnabar costs money and is not easy to obtain. It is difficult for most people to take it, and the dosage is not very big." If you are not sick, you don’t need to try it. If you have a psychological problem, you can also ask a specialized Chinese medicine doctor to help you prepare medicine, and the effect will be better."

"That's it." Auston said that he really understood.

"Your country, China, is really a magical country. Since I came to China, I have found that it is completely different from what I heard."

Lin Jing felt that Alston had gone further and further in the opposite direction of anti-China and was about to be praised by China. She became more and more pleasing to him, so naturally she was willing to explain to him more: "China is a big country, and everywhere There are differences, some are good and some are bad, but if you really understand them, you will find that they are different from you, but as long as you follow the local customs, you can get along very well."

Long Juan had always felt that when talking to foreigners, one should pay attention to foreigners' thinking patterns and living routines. Lin Jing was completely trying in the opposite direction to lead them to follow her own routines.

The most important thing is that she only thinks that those are feudal superstitions and deceptive things. She has no idea of ​​the principles and underlying logic. From Lin Jing's words, she doesn't feel that the older generation is so unbearable. In fact, It is to ask a dead horse to be a living horse doctor when conditions are limited, and many of them are taken advantage of by some thoughtful people.

At this moment, Long Juan felt that she was worse than a child.

I even feel a little ashamed - I just went abroad, and I feel that foreign countries are much more developed than China, so I naturally lower my attitude when talking to foreigners.

She never thought about giving up her dignity, she just felt that since the other person came from a country that was more developed than her, he was naturally better than her. She even felt that Lin Jing's way was wrong and she was not humble enough to deal with foreigners.

Seeing the exchange between them today, Long Juan felt that she seemed to be wrong. She was too humble.
