No matter how Xu Hao promotes health campaigns, some ancient habits are difficult to change on a large scale, because this is closely related to technological progress, living standards and social environment. ▲∴

For example, it is normal for women to wash their hair once a day, especially for ordinary people. No one helps to raise and download tap water, boil water, fetch water, wash hair, and dry aftermath. In ancient times, people often wash their hair frequently and damage their vitality because it is easy to catch a cold when the weather is not good.

If you don’t wash your hair frequently, you will easily get lice. Although bathhouses have become popular in Jinling, it is a forbidden place for women. There are also long hair that must be combed into a hairstyle. There are very few girls with shawls, and everyone loves beauty. Some girls are spoiled by their parents and cannot comb their hair. When they get up every day, they teach their mothers to comb. If their mothers are not idle, they often just fluffy all day, or use a comb to scoop them and tie a lazy bun.

From this, the ancient business of combing was born in the Song Dynasty, similar to the mixed profession of barbers, hairdressers, and masseurs in later generations.

There is a comb-headed guest outside the Xiaodong Gate near Xu Mansion. The ancestral craft was named Wang Si. He was less than 30 years old. He had an extremely smart personality and a handsome appearance. In ancient times, the service industry also paid attention to external conditions. It was awkward to look at people who were not good, so the business would naturally not be good.

The combing head is a skillful craft. Wang Si's hands are very clever, the combing is light and comfortable, and the ears are taken out, the massage is well pressed, and some exquisite hairstyles are combing, so he can receive many jobs from women. As for the great defense of men and women, ordinary people don't care, and there is also the Lehu family.

Although Xu Hao did not comb his head, he liked to ask Wang Si to press it. Gradually, the people began to look for him. In this way, Wang Si simply served the Xu family specifically and did not have to worry about food and clothing.

Every time after the massage, Xu Hao would chat with Wang Si for a while. Wang Si talked about a past story.

When he was eighteen years old, Wang Si dreamed of marrying a beautiful wife in his hometown all day long, but his identity and income were difficult. He did not like poor girls who did not understand the charm. Because he walked around the Lehu family every day, he had a crush on a young beauty named Yunniang.

On this day, he took the initiative to go to Yunniang's house. Seeing the little girl sitting in the room with fluffy hair, he asked, "Does Miss Yun want to comb her head?"

Yunniang said lazily: "I just want to be unwilling to give up the money, so I will comb myself."

"You are still short of money? Just act coquettish in front of the guests." Wang Si was jealous and walked over and put down the box. He took out a set of guys from it and directly combed Yunniang's head.

Even the mud and lice on the scalp belt were cleaned. Wang Si put down his long hair and said, "It's over, you can comb it yourself."

Yunniang said to the bronze mirror: "I never do it myself. I usually do it for my mother."

"What's the difficulty of combing your hair? You have to wait for your mother?" Wang Si couldn't put down his long hair, "Then I'll comb it for you."

Yunniang curled her lips and said, "I'm afraid you won't."

"I can." Wang Si was smart, and often walked around the crowd of women in the Lehu family. He saw too much. He immediately combed her a delicate and complex peony head.

Yunniang was surprised, took the mirror and looked at it, and said with satisfaction: "Good method, I don't know how smart you are. Since you have good skills, my mother is busy, why don't you come to comb my hair often, and you'll finally get the money to give it to you."

Wang Si was secretly happy and wanted to get close to her. He smiled and responded to a few "instructions". Yunniang called the madam to tell the price in person, and came to her house every day to comb and comb, and a chunk of silver. Pay the money at the end of the month and start again at the beginning of the month.

In the study, Wang Si, who was sitting on a small stool, sighed: "I thought I was planning to do it. Since then, I came to serve her without waiting for her house to open every day. Every time after combing my hair, Yunniang did not avoid it and asked me to massage her. Over time, she became less and less likely to be on the wardrobe. In summer, she usually doesn't even wear pants, and she is comfortable and confused. She lies on the couch for half an hour to sleep."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Sui Se is a good meal, I don't believe you won't take the opportunity to eat some tofu."

"It's not just tofu." Wang Si said sweetly and bitterly: "I was impulsive at that time, how could I bear it? Besides, she was a sister, so she couldn't help but climbed onto her body. Still remember Yun Niang closing her eyes and making me mumble and letting me do whatever she wanted. From then on, after combing her hair every day, she must massage it once. Not only did she have to pinch her whole body, but she even had to go back and forth inside. Yun Niang treats me much more affectionately than customers."

A month later, Yunniang suddenly asked, "You are thinking about me all day long, it's not a big deal. Why don't you marry the Fang family?"

Wang Si said, "Why don't I want to? I just didn't meet a good one. I have a saying that I want to discuss with you several times, but I'm afraid you may not be willing, so I dare not speak up."

"Hehe!" Yunniang stared at him with a smile, "Is it me who you like?"

"Well, I've liked you for a long time." Wang Si's expression became serious.

Yunniang first smiled happily, then sighed, "Don't I have feelings for you? Otherwise, I wouldn't let you bully you. But my mother wants too much money, how can you afford it?"

Wang Si said seriously: "I'm not afraid, it's only one or two hundred taels. It's difficult for me to take it out at one time. If I allow me to pay back the money one after another and do business for several years, I'm afraid I won't be able to earn the money?"

Yunniang was very moved and snuggled gently in his arms, "I have long wanted to get rid of this cheap karma of welcoming and sending you off. You love me so much, dare I not serve you for life? Then let's talk to your mother."

Seeing that his daughter was determined, the madam agreed. The money was a lot of money in the small town, and she made money no matter how she calculated it. So she was afraid that the lion would scare Wang Si away. It only costs 120 taels of silver, and you can pay 5 taels of silver at one time, and you can pay 10 taels of silver until you have paid it. But when the money is enough, you will allow Yunniang to be a good person. Even if she only owe the last tael, she still has to pick up customers at home.

Wang Si agreed and delivered the thirty taels of silver he had saved up hard that day. The madam was a good writer. Wang Si bought a document for her to write in person and hid it carefully on her body.

Yunniang was his wife from then on, so Wang Si simply brought her luggage to live with her. However, because Yunniang was his wife, the money for combing her hair every day could not be forgotten. She also had to help chop firewood and boil water to do a lot of work before she could go out to do business.

Wang Si did not think it was bitter and he was willing to live with him. When Yunniang had no guests at night, she asked him to stay with her. Wang Si was worried that the madam would have to count the money for prostitution. For the long-term plan, she would rather let his wife stay in the empty room, so he used the fifth girl instead. However, when combing her hair, while the madam was not around, the two of them often secretly satisfy their cravings as before.

Wang Si was very clever and worried that the change would take place over time, so he worked tirelessly to help buy and cook rice and cook soup at night. Even the turtle slave was too busy, so he was willing to interfere in his duties and greet the guests.

When the evil young men in those places learned about his deeds, they called him "Wang Banba" and joked that he had become half a turtle. Wang Si didn't care. He agreed. At that time, Wang Si's mentality was that as long as he could marry Yunniang home, not to mention half a turtle, he would be willing to do it.

The question is how much can the maker make in his business? What's more, he wasted so much time every day, and it was expected that two years would have worked hard for five years.

Finally, he paid 120 taels of silver. Wang Si breathed a sigh of relief and finally got out of the kiln. From then on, he stayed with his wife and lived a serious life.

He said to the madam, "There is enough money. Please write a wedding book and entrust Ling Ai to me. Wait for me to rent a house so that I can marry her."

Unexpectedly, the madam deliberately pretended to be confused and asked, "What is enough? Which one do you want to marry? What's the surname of that woman? When will she get married? I'll go and congratulate me."

Wang Si smiled and said, "Mom is here to make fun of me again. You promised Ling Ai to be a good person. At the beginning, he asked for one hundred and twenty taels of wealth. Now I have paid it, so it's time to let Ling Ai follow me. Don't pretend to be confused and tease me, haha."

The madam's face darkened and said, "Nonsense! You have been with my daughter for five years, and these few taels of money are not enough for prostitution. Why do you dare to say you want to take someone away? It's so unbelievable."

Wang Si was stunned and said anxiously: "Although I have lived in your house for several years, I slept alone every night. I have never touched my daughter at all. How can I pretend to be this name? What if I want to pay for my debt?"

He only thought that his wife was affectionate and righteous, and that he kept the love from the madam during the day, so he said this with confidence, but the fallen flowers were willing to follow the flowing water, and the flowing water was not interested in falling flowers.

Yun Niang walked out angrily, put her hair on her hips and said, "Since you came to comb my hair, how many times did you have to be tangled? How many times did you have to get on me? How could you be fine? It's better to count one ounce at a time, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and every time, there are about two hundred times, right? That's twenty taels of silver, how much silver will be in five years? Besides, who would be willing to follow you? If I am willing to be a good man, I'm afraid that there will be no princess, and I will be a wife of a combing wife with you? It's ridiculous."

Wang Si seemed to be poured down from his head by dozens of buckets of cold water, and his whole body was so cold that he was no longer a young boy with a strong spirit. It would be fine if Yun Niang was ruthless and unrighteous. He felt sorry for the money and knew that the money could not be returned privately.

Xu Hao looked at Wang Si who recalled the past and said, "You are not a fool. You probably realized that something was wrong, right? You just held a little hope and prepared in your heart."

Wang Si smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the little one is always in the yard. The bitch knows too well, even if there are infatuated people inside, I think the same is true for Yunniang. Five years have passed, and she is old and ugly, so what can she do if she doesn't follow me to be a good person? I'm so nice to her."

"Otherwise," Xu Hao said: "I believe she was affectionate to you at the beginning. It was because she became more and more sophisticated and more realistic as she got older. If you want someone who was too lazy to comb her head, how could you suffer with you? After all, it was because you had no money or power."

"Oh!" Wang Si smiled bitterly and said, "I have discovered it a long time ago, and she has long been cold to me."
