19K0

It was almost dusk, and the tavern was already full of people and steaming. Drinkers were sitting around seven or eight large wine vats, and delicacies such as boiled edamame, rotten broad beans, and fried grasshoppers were placed on the red paint vat lids. The drinkers drank from the vat and chatted about alley stories, market rumors, Yang Xiaolou's monkey play, King Jingjie's storytelling, which house was haunted, whose concubine ran away with someone, etc. With the help of a little wine, Yunshanwuhai talked like this, what he said, what he heard, and a few words added. In those days, this was a lot of fun. Old Beijingers are very particular about leisure and leisure. This kind of tavern is called a big wine tank. This happened in early July of the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937), one day after the July 7th Incident. There were people boxing in the pub, and some drinking too much, but most of them were chatting.

Erfeng, he must have been twenty-two or three years old at that time, and he was good-looking. He is neither tall nor short, fat and thin, well-proportioned, his skin is white and thin, and he has beautiful features; especially his two big eyes, which are like a pool of water in his mouth. Is it that evil? Some say her eyes can speak. It's true. In the Peking Opera "Hong Luan Xi", Jin Yunu has a line that goes: "When I was twenty-eight years old, I grew up in a poor family, with green windows and quiet spring, and my appearance was like a flower." This opera word is the most appropriate to describe Jia Erfeng, and she is not only twenty-eight years old! In those days, men and women were not so liberated. It didn't matter if they were beautiful, they just looked at them twice. But being poor and having sex with her father was a waste of time - she was as beautiful as a flower! The front yard is a courtyard with seven families living in it. It can be said to be a large courtyard.
