Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Haha, I can't help but laugh when I think about this. Our Guo Jia is actually alright, he's just incredibly smart and his predictions are always so accurate, he has the ability to predict the future.

For example, when he first met Yuan Shao, he immediately realized that Yuan Shao was no good. After returning home, he met his wife, and after successfully pursuing her, they began a secluded life as a couple.

The fact that he predicted Yuan Shao's fate can only be attributed to his accurate judgment of people, since others also saw it coming, such as Xun Yu.

However, when Cao Cao was confronting Yuan Shao, Guo Jia advised him to turn around and attack Liu Bei instead of paying attention to Yuan Shao. As expected, Yuan Shao was indecisive and did not react.

Later, when everyone was wary of Sun Ce, Guo Jia predicted that Sun Ce would die at the hands of a commoner, and Sun Ce was indeed assassinated!

Tell me, is this a normal person? I don't believe it unless it's some kind of prophetic ability!

Willows swaying gently

Hehe, that's how it's recorded in official history. By the way, it also records that Guo Jia's wife, Tang Yu, was a Taoist doctor. At that time, the Han Dynasty was superstitious about immortals, and Tang Yu's extraordinary deeds were also recorded in the historical books.

Tang Yu, whose Taoist name was Yu Su Zhenren, was a kind-hearted man skilled in traditional Chinese medicine. He often traveled with Hua Tuo through the countryside, saving lives and healing the wounded, and was revered by all. During the Jian'an period, when a plague was rampant, Tang Yu and his disciples devoted themselves to finding a cure, saving countless lives.

At that time, the world was in turmoil, bandits rose up everywhere, and the countryside was repeatedly plundered. When some mountain bandits saw that Tang Yu and his apprentice were carrying medicinal herbs and valuables, they had evil intentions and wanted to rob them.

Enraged, Tang Yu drew his sword. As the sword was drawn, thunder roared, and all the bandits were struck by lightning, none surviving. People were amazed, believing it to be a divine technique, and called him a true immortal.

Later, some disbelieving bandits, coveting his medicinal herbs and valuables, plotted to plunder them again. Tang Yu wielded his sword and used his magic, sitting in mid-air. In a short while, all the bandits died, bleeding from their seven orifices.

Tang Yu denounced their heinous crimes, thus deserving this extreme punishment to demonstrate the justice of Heaven. From then on, banditry disappeared, the countryside was at peace, and the reputation of Tang Yu and his apprentice as physicians grew ever more illustrious, with the people praising their benevolence.

【Ya ya ya】

Is this recorded in official history? Struck by lightning and flying into the air to perform magical arts—the ancients had such a vivid imagination!

The moon rises above the willow branches.

That's right, that's how it's recorded in history books. After unifying the north, Cao Cao wanted to immediately lead a large army south to unify the north as well.

Many people tried to dissuade him, including Guo Jia, and Guo Jia's wife also got involved.

This event is also recorded in historical books.

After Guo Jia offered his advice, Cao Cao met with Guo Jia's wife, Tang Yu. Tang Yu said, "You still have more than ten years of life ahead of you; there is no need to rush." ​​Upon hearing this, Cao Cao looked up and laughed heartily, finding it quite remarkable.

Sure enough, Cao Cao passed away more than ten years later. Isn't that amazing?

【Little Dewdrop】

Haha, this is just what's in the official history. Some people recorded some unofficial histories, and those unofficial histories were even more amazing.

It is said that Guo Jia and Tang Yu were immortals descended to earth. It is said that the two flew around the world on swords. It is also said that Tang Yu could casually pluck flowers and leaves. When people attended Guo Jia's banquet, the immortal sword danced in the air and flower petals fell one after another, which they thought was a miracle.

【Sky Blue】

There are also unofficial historical accounts that Guo Jia's wife later opened a clinic and frequently made house calls to treat patients, making her the first person in history to treat medical disputes.

Anyone who dared to provoke him was said to be sent flying by Tang Yu's palm strike, which amazed everyone at the time.

Song of the Setting Sun

You've said so much, but why didn't you mention that historical records also say the couple were exceptionally good-looking, which is why their son, Guo Yi, was also incredibly handsome?

This boy would be given fruit and handkerchiefs whenever he went out. He was the most handsome boy at the time, and noble ladies all wanted to marry him!

The moonlight is alluring.

Haha, being good-looking is no longer their family's outstanding advantage; this family is just abnormal.

When Guo Yi was fighting the Hu people in the north, he could always find where the Hu people lived, no matter what, it was as if he had a navigation system.

This family must possess some kind of magical ability to raid other people's hideouts and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Warm and cozy

There are also unofficial historical accounts that claim printing and glassmaking were invented by someone commissioned by Guo Jia's wife, Tang Yu. Do you think her story could be made into a TV series? No one would believe it!

[End of a sequel set in later generations]

Chapter 1 Yuan Shen and Song Mo

Black Wind Village.

Five-year-old Tang Yu frowned at her own mother.

"Mother, if you dare to bind my feet now, I'll go and kill my father!"

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Song Wan Niang stared wide-eyed at her daughter in disbelief.

"Yuan Yu, what nonsense are you talking about? Foot binding is for your own good, so that you can get married more easily in the future?"

Tang Yu simply scoffed!

"Get married? Mother, we're bandits, this is Black Wind Stronghold, why would we need to get married? Just find a son-in-law to live with us."

Song Wan Niang was furious.

She was actually the daughter of a scholar, and her education was focused on being knowledgeable, reasonable, virtuous, and obedient.

Originally, given her background, it was impossible for her to marry a bandit. Of course, Song Wan Niang wanted to marry a kindred spirit and a talented man of equal social standing.

However, due to involvement in a political event at court, Song Wan Niang's father, who was a minor official at the time, was implicated. It seemed that his family was about to die tragically, and the women were likely to become prostitutes.

So Song Wan Niang's mother desperately fled with her daughter, and was unexpectedly rescued by Yuan Fenghua, the leader of Black Wind Village. Later, the two became husband and wife.

Therefore, the entire Black Wind Stronghold was a group of mountain bandits who would come down the mountain to rob merchants who were passing by.

Anyway, it's definitely not a good thing.

However, having lived so many lives, Tang Yu remained calm even as she became the daughter of a bandit in this one.

They are now planning to make money and get rich, and to launder their money.

In fact, the people in the mountain stronghold weren't the kind of ruthless, bloodthirsty devils. Just look at what happened to Song Wan Niang; her father only got to marry a wife because he saved someone.

In fact, the people in the mountain village were all ordinary farmers who had lost their land and could not afford to pay taxes.

They could no longer survive, so they hid in the mountains to avoid taxes. Then they discovered that there wasn't enough food in the mountains, so they gradually gathered together and started robbing people.

“Yuan Yu, your father and I are already in this state. Do you think we want your future to continue as a bandit?”

"I'm binding your feet now so that you can grow up to be a respectable person and marry a good man. Your mother is doing this for your own good!"

"Moreover, our family is also a prestigious clan."

Your father is a descendant of the Yuan family of Jiaodong, which originated from the Han Dynasty.

Although the Yuan family has declined, they will definitely try to revitalize the family in the future.

"Yu'er, you are so beautiful and so clever. As long as you marry a good man, the Yuan family will have a bright future!"

Tang Yu rolled her eyes; she was speechless when this topic came up.

This world is actually more than a thousand years after the world she and Yuan Shen lived in.

Compared to the Chinese civilization she knew, apart from the emperors, the entire process of its development was exactly the same.

This was still the Ming Dynasty, only the emperors weren't the few people with the surname Zhu from Chinese civilization, but it was similar to the Ming Dynasty.

And one of her and Yuan Shen's descendants even became bandits, which is just unbelievable.

"Come on, if Yuan Shen woke up and saw that his descendants were like this, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood."

"Yu'er! Are you even listening to me?"

You are too young to understand how important foot binding was.

Listen to your mother, bind your feet now, otherwise it will be too late in a few years!

Tang Yu immediately drew a knife.

"Mother, I'm serious. If you keep forcing me to bind my feet, I'll kill my father!"

Song Wan Niang was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, and then she turned and left in a huff. She couldn't teach this daughter anymore.

Yuan Fenghua had been hiding outside for a long time. When he saw his wife leave in anger, he wanted to chase after her and coax her.

Tang Yu slowly walked over and spoke.

"Father, I suggest you don't try to appease my wife right now, because she's annoyed just looking at you. How could you be such a bandit? How could you have given birth to such a disobedient daughter? It's all your fault!"

Yuan Fenghua, a burly man, was afraid when he saw his five-year-old daughter.

“Yu’er, your mother is gentle and kind. Why did you say such things to upset her? She was just trying to help you.”

These words immediately made Tang Yu scoff.

"My mother has been brainwashed and doesn't know what a normal person is. I don't blame her."

"You're a grown man, do you also have a distorted aesthetic sense, thinking that women with bound feet are more cute and more likable?"

"No, no, no... Father doesn't have such thoughts, Yu'er believes me!"

Yuan Fenghua quickly apologized to his daughter. He didn't understand why he didn't have any fatherly authority.

But he gets scared when he sees his daughter.

Tang Yu simply snorted coldly.

"This garbage world! Foot binding! Foot binding! My foot binding my ass! If you force me to bind my feet again, I'll rebel!"

Yuan Fenghua quickly tried to persuade his daughter.

"Even though our family are bandits, rebelling really means losing your head. Calm down!"

"Okay, let me calm down. Practice makes perfect, so let's go make glass first!"

Making money is the most important thing right now.

The TV series uses Ming Dynasty costumes, so that's how the concept came about. Of course, the Qing Dynasty was the peak of foot binding, because those trashy Han literati and officials shaved their heads and changed their clothes, which made them ashamed, so they oppressed women even more, making women unable to forget the custom of foot binding.

However, foot binding existed from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. As for the excavated foot bones, some were not deformed, while others were deformed. The reason for this is similar to that of skilled workers.

Wealthy families had more advanced techniques; they hired skilled people to bind feet and used better fabrics. This prevented the feet from growing and causing disabilities.

However, ordinary families and those from the lower classes who later followed suit did not have the skills to bind their feet, so this evolutionary process eventually became deformed, with the soles of the feet being broken off.

It's true that the Qing Dynasty was terrible, but the oppression of women by the Han Chinese officials and scholars in the Ming Dynasty was also terrible. There's no doubt about their distorted aesthetics. You'll understand what I mean by things like bound feet. In ancient Han Chinese culture, breasts weren't important at all; feet were their sexual fetish.

So whether it's the deformity of a single palmar crease or foot binding to make the feet smaller, it's all rubbish.
