Chapter 310 Her ears are lower than her eyes
Lao Ning took out a cigarette and gave one to me and Shiyu.
Shiyu waved his hand.
I started smoking.
He took a deep breath, exhaled a stream of smoke, and continued:
"Cultivation is just a piece of paper that maintains the relationship between people in a civilized society. It is very thin, so don't poke it too hard. If you poke it, it will break."
He agreed with this statement and nodded seriously.
"Why do I say that? Humans are animals, and we can't overcome our animal nature. Therefore, when we reach menopause, physiological reactions are unavoidable.
For example, irritability and anger are common, just like some people have nasal allergies and cannot help sneezing when they smell spicy smells.
"Yes, I have experienced this."
"It's good to have experience. These menopausal body reactions are uncontrollable. Of course, you mentioned self-cultivation, so let me talk about self-cultivation."
"OK."
"So-called self-cultivation is also a form of disguise. Think about it, although humans are a type of animal, they are not the same as animals. Therefore, your wife consciously restrains herself. She also realizes that sometimes it is difficult to control her emotions, so she deliberately restrains herself.
But what I want to tell you is: this deliberate restraint is towards outsiders.
She suppressed all her anger and annoyance, but she always had to find an outlet, so you, her closest person, became her outlet.
Love is still love, and family affection is still family affection. It's just an inevitable transition period that you have to endure."
Lao Ning asked, "Do men have menopause?"
"Theoretically, yes, but it's not as obvious as with women."
"Why?"
"This is caused by the social differences between men and women. No matter how we say that men and women are the same, they are actually different.
Men have been the protagonists of society since ancient times. Since primitive tribes, they have taken on the task of hunting. At that time, women were no different from men and also had to hunt.
Later, the division of labor between men and women became different, with women mainly responsible for reproducing offspring and handling housework.
Later on, another attribute of women was gradually added: aesthetics!
If a man is ugly, no one cares, but if a woman is ugly, it is considered a sin. Therefore, women are particularly concerned about their appearance.
According to the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, women have a seven-year cycle, while men have an eight-year cycle. Taking women as an example, at the age of seven, the kidney qi begins to be sufficient, and girls begin to change their teeth.
The 27th day is when a woman is 14 years old, her Tai Meridian is open and her menstruation begins.
Sanqi, when the kidney qi is balanced, begins to produce pearls. In other words, around this period, you can get married and have children.
At the age of 28, the bones and muscles are strong and the hair is extremely long. It refers to the prime of a woman's life, with a healthy body, shiny hair and abundant Qi and blood.
At the age of 35, the face starts to look sallow and the hair starts to fall out. In other words, wrinkles appear and the face loses its former glow.
At six or seven, the face becomes burnt and the hair begins to turn gray. This means the collagen in the face is running low, and gray hair begins to form. There are many more symptoms later on, but I won't go into them all.
This is the ancients' description of women's physiology. Of course, with the improvement of living conditions, the time has been delayed. However, when a woman reaches the age of forty-five or forty-six, no matter how she takes care of herself, she will feel that her youth is fading away day by day.
There was no force that could hold her back, and at this moment, she felt a sense of pressure in her heart.
This kind of pressure is particularly great for those who were beautiful in their youth, but on the contrary, for women who were not very good-looking in their youth, the pressure is relatively less."
"Now that you explain it, I understand."
"A hero is at the end of his rope, and a beauty is in her twilight years. This 'twilight years' doesn't refer to true old age. A beautiful woman becomes peaceful when she's in her seventies or eighties. This 'twilight years' refers to the decade after menopause."
After listening to this, Lao Ning stood up and counted out a hundred yuan. He was about to leave, but then he felt that I had scolded him too much today. He actually said this:
"I'm a writer, the editor of Shangzhou Literature and Art, and my pen name is 'Feng Cao'. You can read my works when you have time. I mainly write essays, you can find out by searching Baidu."
What he meant was that I was unable to recognize the great man.
I said coldly, "I only read Li Bai and Du Fu. I'm not interested in articles written by contemporary people."
He left in disappointment.
I said, "Shiyu, analyze this Lao Ning."
Shiyu curled his lips. Then he said, "You're right, a self-righteous person."
I said, "Not only is he self-righteous, but he's also extremely selfish. You shouldn't make close friends with people like him. Otherwise, you'll be harmed by him."
Shiyu said, "Master, I'd like to hear your analysis of his wife. Why did she love this extremely selfish man so wholeheartedly in her early years?"
I said, "Okay. His wife is a naive woman. There's a type of woman who is beautiful, especially with a delicate nose and fair skin. But they only have a pretty appearance and are innocent at heart."
She has a passionate fantasy, a mild case of schizophrenia. She imagines everything to be a beautiful picture. She is also very stubborn. The more others oppose her, the more she insists on her decision.
Another characteristic is that she's a complete face control. She doesn't even want to look at anyone who's not good-looking. So, you see, Lao Ning is now in his fifties, and still looks very handsome. He must have been a very handsome man in his youth.
People like Lao Ning are good at making promises. Extremely selfish people are particularly good at making promises when pursuing women. His wife is, first, beautiful, second, very simple, and third, idealistic, imagining everything to be sweet. Fourth, she's obsessed with looks.
So it's easy for Lao Ning to get used to this kind of woman."
Shiyu smiled and said, "Your analysis makes sense."
I said, "Lao Ning's identity has been made public. You can look up his information. If you're interested, you can also find out his wife's name, what elementary school she teaches at, and even meet her in person."
"Why do you want to see her in person?"
"Because, one thing can be verified. Her ears are no higher than her eyes."
"Huh? Why?"
"No reason. It's just the accumulation of life observation over a long period of time. It's called seeing countless people and having a clear mind. If you don't believe me, go and visit them."
Shiyu smiled and said, "Well, after the New Year, I really plan to verify it."
I looked at the time and it was already five in the afternoon, so I said, "It would be too lonely for the two of us to eat here."
Shiyu went to the kitchen. I walked outside to the front yard to get some fresh air. The winter sun rolled down the mountain.
The air is exceptionally fresh.
At this time, I received a call from someone asking me if I was at home that night.
I said, "Eight o'clock."
He said, "Okay, I came here to wish you a happy new year in advance. I will be going back to my hometown in a few days."
