Records of Three Vices and Ten Crimes

An Nuan sent the video to Liu Chang'an.

Most smartphones nowadays can shoot high-definition videos, and the video files are quite large. Even when choosing to send the files face-to-face, it still takes some time.

"You're not allowed to look now," An Nuan said sweetly, speaking each word carefully. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she ate, feeling a little warm.

When she was bragging to Han Zhizhi, she naturally appeared knowledgeable and experienced. However, her techniques and methods for seducing men were basically derived from romance novels and online jokes, rather than from practical experience. Therefore, when she deliberately did this for the first time in her teenage years, she was not so relaxed and calm.

Especially during filming, Han Zhizhi insisted on joining in the fun. Even though she was just playing Zhao Kuo, she still pointed fingers and said that An Nuan's performance wasn't natural enough and flirtatious. When asked to give a demonstration, An Nuan refused.

"Okay, I'll climb the tree to take a look later." Liu Chang'an nodded.

"Why did you climb the tree to look?" An Nuan continued to act shy, looking at Liu Chang'an with surprise.

"Let's go to the bathroom to look, it'll stink. Let's just look somewhere else, it's not safe. Let's go back to the dorm, I don't feel comfortable doing that either. It's quieter up in the tree." Liu Chang'an pointed to a big tree, "I used to often climb up to the branches more than 20 meters high to read, it felt great."

"Go back and watch! Watch it under the covers." An Nuan offered her suggestion, blushing, glancing around before lowering her voice, "I heard that's what boys do."

"Are you implying I should watch this while doing Wang Gong?" Liu Chang'an said, suddenly realizing, "How lewd."

"You're the pervert! You're the one who made me film this... But what did Wang Gong mean by that?" An Nuan pulled Liu Chang'an behind a tree and started punching him with her little fists. How dare he call a girl perverted! She was just giving him a suggestion, even though it was the suggestion An Nuan was most looking forward to. Before the two of them actually had a relationship, girls actually looked forward to knowing that they had become the object of his fantasies at that time.

"The prefix , add a below, is the word Nong. The word Nong is the same as Nong, and the two characters "" are added next to the handle." Liu Changan is a very reserved person.

"Liu Chang'an, where do you put all your erudition?" An Nuan patted her forehead, feeling a slightly lewd thrill. Liu Chang'an's words were very vivid, and she did have some knowledge in these areas, even though she usually had to maintain a pure image like a delicate flower untouched by morning dew.

"Actually, many people know the character "". The original meaning of this character is to hold something with both hands, and now it is commonly used as "gong". Many people will think of it as the prefix "", but it is not the case." Liu Changan thought for a while and decided to tell a story to An Nuan. "When it comes to the prefix "", it reminds me of Caotou Niang, an acquaintance of mine."

"Grass-Head Lady? Someone you know?" An Nuan couldn't believe that anyone still had such a nickname or title. It certainly wasn't a name!

"There's a book called <The Records of Three Vices and Ten Crimes>, which records quite a few interesting things. In the 'Seductive Debauchery' section, it recounts the life story of the Grass-Head Lady, who used her beauty to bewitch people, becoming even more so with age, like a demon, attracting countless high-ranking officials and nobles."

"I know about the 'Three Winds and Ten Evolutions,' the ten crimes arising from three kinds of bad customs, as set forth by Yi Yin. Your friend, who's called 'Grass-Head Lady,' is from the Shang Dynasty, isn't she?" An Nuan said irritably. He actually had a friend who was so beautiful she could seduce all beings, like a fairy. Even though she knew he was talking nonsense, An Nuan still felt jealous.

"No, the Three Winds and Ten Evolutions were established by Yi Yin, but the 'Records of Three Vices and Ten Crimes' is a book from the Qing Dynasty. As for women from the Shang Dynasty, I might not remember them." Liu Chang'an shook his head and continued, "Grass-Head Lady was a descendant of beggars. She first married into the Jiang family, but her husband died. Then she married Huang San, but Huang San also died... At this point, Grass-Head Lady became somewhat depressed, so she simply hired a fake husband. This fake husband was just someone who did things for her, did housework and farm work, and provided for her livelihood—a husband in name only. If he didn't meet her expectations in the slightest, she would drive him away and find another fake husband. Applicants came in droves."

"Were women in the Qing Dynasty so open-minded?" An Nuan didn't even care that Liu Chang'an's acquaintance was from the Qing Dynasty; there were quite a few women like that nowadays. "So, simps have existed since ancient times."

"Social phenomena at any time have both universality and individuality; this is just an exception. Grass-Head Lady was a rare woman of her time—tall and slightly plump, beautiful, literate, and skilled in cooking and seasoning. Even as a child, she was quite the ladies' man, a renowned socialite. Back then, if people in the city held banquets and didn't invite Grass-Head Lady, few would be happy. Even officials and literati were her admirers...and even when she was in her fifties or sixties, some young men still pursued her."

"After Grass-Head Lady turned sixty, a local tycoon still went bankrupt for her. When others asked him, 'What's the point of you doing this for such an old woman?' he replied, 'You are not me, how can you know my joy? Though she is old, her hair is as black as lacquer, her complexion is serene, her body is more fleshy than bony, and her skin is as smooth as cream. The one I love is right here among us, how could I not be with her?'"

Liu Chang'an wasn't making up a story; Grass-Head Lady was indeed an acquaintance. Her family had always been beggars, but her great-grandfather was the tomb keeper of one of Liu Chang'an's tombs. Three generations of her family had guarded the tomb for Liu Chang'an, knowing full well that it contained countless gold and silver treasures, yet they preferred to remain beggars rather than steal a single penny. Liu Chang'an originally wanted Grass-Head Lady to be his maid, but considering her overly flirtatious nature, he didn't like her. So, during a casual chat, he casually asked her what her wish was. Grass-Head Lady's wish was to remain young forever.

True agelessness is no different from Longevity, which Liu Chang'an cannot achieve either, but making her stay young for several decades is not a problem.

Of course, the method he used was not the same as the method he used on his beloved. He had no interest in a charming woman like Grass-Head Lady, who could captivate all men, and there was no possibility of him having any relationship with her. He was simply repaying the good karma accumulated by her ancestors.

"Sixty years old... These people have such heavy tastes." An Nuan was surprised with a stiff expression, but not too surprised. Liu Chang'an liked to read strange and unusual stories and notes, and she had read quite a few with him. She knew that the behavior of the ancients was sometimes not much different from the strange tales of modern times.

"If you could stay young forever, would you want to?" Liu Chang'an asked, "But you can't be so promiscuous."

"Are you implying something about my mother again?" An Nuan didn't answer Liu Chang'an's question because she quickly became alert, realizing she was too slow to react! Although Professor Liu wasn't as promiscuous as Grass-Head Lady and had always been very virtuous, she felt that Professor Liu was sixty years old and probably had "black hair, pale complexion, and a body more flesh than bone, with skin as smooth as cream."

Liu Chang'an sighed, glanced at the dense foliage overhead, and decided to ignore her opinions and thoughts; it was beyond her control.

I recommend Remnant Snow on Broken Bridge's "Urban Super Doctor," which I'm currently reading. This author has written many stories about incredibly powerful protagonists living in modern times, and it's a different kind of enjoyment compared to Xia Hua's books. You should definitely give it a try.
