Chapter 905: The Invisibility (Part 2)
-
The strict and wide range of clothing systems in this dynasty can be said to be unprecedented. Emperor Taizu, who was extremely energetic, stipulated what people of each level should wear, and formulated severe punishment measures for those who were usurped. He did not eat enough and did nothing, but because of these complicated and harsh rules, he built a political system with strict hierarchy in the country and a social order with orderly high and low status.
This was of great help to maintain the ruling order and maintain social stability. Until he was a silent boy, he saw with his own eyes that the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang still took the responsibility of their livelihood, fearing officials and keeping simple and humble. Women live in a deep place and are often treated with mulberry silkworms and red, and there are very few things about pearls, jade and silk silk, and there will never be such things about playing with imperial clothes after such a long time. There will be no such things about women who will be in broad daylight and will be so many women who will be in a state of silence.
"Are you not afraid of government inspections when you dress like this?" Silence broke the pot and asked to the end.
"Why is this official who is so decent, why is he just silly? Is the wife of the official family not impersonating?" The store owner giggled and said, "What era is this? Can the state officials only allow fire and the people to light the lamp?"
"That's right, last month, the wife of the prefect went to Guangfu Temple to enjoy incense." A female guest who was looking at the cloth interrupted: "The tattoo on her body was embroidered with phoenix patterns; the gems and jewelry on her head were only worn by the palace ladies, and even the first-class life can't be used. But she not only wore it for the prefect, but also wore it openly for the people of Shanghai. What kind of face does the prefect have? What do we wear if we wear?"
"Yes, you old official is really unhappy. Go outside and see, the men on the street are all over the street, and they are not competing for beauty, how they wear them, how they look good, who cares about your condoms eight hundred years ago?" The women said with a smile.
"It's really... the impersonation is too extreme, the world's wind is getting worse, and the world's wind is getting worse." Silence shook his head repeatedly, which made the female guests laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although he was full of "the world is getting worse", Chen Si did not stop the third lady from buying the "passing" fabric home. The third lady paid, left the address, and asked the store to send it directly to the house. Then he excitedly pulled him out and prepared to go to the next house.
After leaving the cloth shop, he stood silently on the steps at the door, looking at the crowded streets. The habit he had developed for many years was that he would look straight on the road, so he didn't look closely on the road. Now he looked at people's clothes carefully. It was a twenty-one history, and I don't know where to start...
The men on the street all had high hats and big sleeves, and were covered with silk and silk, while the women had high buns and long clothes, and their clothes were colorful. Even the barbarians sold in the market had many tassels, hats, shoes, and tulle skirts... Where is the difference between the ritual level?
"I think when I was young, Jiangnan still had a pure and pragmatic style. The family of scholars and officials mostly wore clothes and black cloth crowns. Even those who were famous for their literature also marched into the market with white robes and green shoe. The common people used sheep intestines and Taicang cloth. These two items were humble and of quality, so everyone used them, and their customs were so frugal." Looking at the huge changes in front of me, I sighed with a complex face: "But look at this store, the grade is not too high, and the entry and exit are not expensive, but the store said that the silk and silk are not worthy of preciousness. They sold all Wu silk, Song brocade, cloud silk, camel brown, and various Western and Eastern fabrics. But I couldn't find the most sheep intestines and silk that were the most sheep intestines and silk. I asked the store that it was not sold in the market for a long time because it was not sold in the market."
"I saw that the poor people who live in poverty and sell their peddlers were wearing square headscarves, and the people walking on the road were connected by themselves. But no one thought it was different. I read the newspaper in Annan that the people of Wuzhong were "not silk, no clothes, no gold thread, no scarf, no cloud head, no cloud head." They only thought they were fabricating boasting words. Now, when they saw the square scarves, they were full of the road, and the slaughtered slaves were also possessed by white-collar workers, even white-collar workers, even Bai Ze, Qilin, flying fish, and pythons. The people knew that they violated the ban, but they followed each other. They knew that they were very good at seeing the small things, and they could tell how the world was... " His mood was very complicated. On the one hand, he saw the changes in society. People pursued gorgeous clothing. Although they violated the rules and violated the ban, they were not afraid of taboos. But on the other hand, after all, he had been studying and became an official for 30 years. It would be a scam to say that he did not have the superiority of some scholars. Now he saw that the people did not use the division system but used wealth to control the clothes of the scholars. As long as he had money, no one would care about it. That sense of superiority was immediately greatly impacted, and naturally he felt very sad.
Seeing him with anger, the third lady held his hand and comforted her quietly: "Isn't this what you have always expected?"
"That's true, but seeing this ceremony collapsed and musical dissatisfied, it was always a bad taste." Silent smiled awkwardly, and held her tenderness back and said, "Don't worry, just get used to it..." Then he realized that it was in public, and he quickly pulled out his hand and coughed dryly, "The sky is blue and white, sven and polite."
The third lady pointed her softly.
In silence, a young man and woman walked by her eyes, talking and laughing hand in hand, her expression and behavior were very intimate, and others were used to it and did not care about it.
Silent but angrily said: "What kind of morality is this young man! When I was young, I didn't even dare to talk to others!" Perhaps because I was too stingy today, he actually wanted to come forward to scold me...
The third lady vomited a little bit of love and said playfully: "The master didn't dare to do it back then, but he was also very charming! I laughed fifty steps and a hundred steps!" I was still silent, but the third lady held his sleeve and smiled and said: "You just let them go fifty steps." He then gave up.
Seeing that Chen Si was really depressed, the third lady no longer pulled him around and rushed to buy the daily necessities needed at home. She also paid the bill first and then sent it to her home.
Shortly after returning home, the things were delivered one after another. The third lady directed Tieshan and Ma Yuan to put the things in place. Chen Mo also wanted to help, but she was driven out to have tea... The painful experience of the past told her that asking this master to help him has always been getting more and more helpful.
Although he was ignored, I was embarrassed to be idle. I helped me fetch water outside and took the time to order a takeaway, but I was busy all the time.
When it was time to light the lights, the bedrooms on the main hall and the second floor were basically cleaned up. In the brightly lit hall, the food and drink were placed, looking at the warmly decorated new home, silent and happy, letting the third lady sit beside her, and she asked Tieshan and Ma Yuan, who had been busy all day, to sit down and have a comfortable meal.
After dinner, after packing up the dishes, Tie Zhan and Ma Yuan went back to the room to rest.
Sitting in the silence and comfortably on the Grand Master's chair, took the tea made by the third lady, and said with a smile: "This little life has been around."
Without outsiders, the third lady took off her men's clothing, broke her hair off and returned to her graceful original appearance. She looked at him charmingly: "Are you depressed?"
"I'm not depressed anymore." Chen Mo took a sip of tea and laughed: "Isn't we coming out this time just to feel the changes in the world? If everything is the same as it was thirty or forty years ago, that would be really disappointed."
"To be honest," the third lady didn't go to her seat, but stood behind him, gently pinching her shoulders for him, "Master, do you really plan to live here forever?"
"The houses have been rented." Chen Si looked at her and said, "How can you not live forever?"
"Madam and I thought that you came out this time to relax and you will go back in a few days." said the third lady.
"People cannot move forward with their heads down. They must find a quiet place to calm themselves down and sort out their thoughts." Chen smiled and said, "The ancients said that 'hidden in the city'. For people like me, this is the best place, both among the crowd, without political affairs and no disturbances. More importantly, there are no reports that whitewash the peace to confuse the public. What I see and hear are the most real. Only in this way can the things I want to write not deviate from reality and speak to myself."
"But you have said that only by standing high can you see far." The third lady said, "Aren't you afraid that your eyes will be stuck in a corner?"
"So I'm coming to Shanghai." said silently: "The spring river warms the duck prophet, this is already the heart of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Okay. Let's live a year and a half of a young citizen." The third lady couldn't help laughing as she said. Being able to stay alone with Chen Si for some time was actually her wish.
"Talk about living a life." Shun Si put down the teacup and said, "I feel that there is something missing."
"What's missing?" The third lady looked around the room and felt that she was missing nothing.
"How can you, young lady, not a girl?" Chen Si stood up, hugged her slender waist and said, "I think you shouldn't be able to wash dishes today."
"No need to find a maid anymore," said the third lady with a smile, "I am willing to do it." In fact, Chen Mo originally planned to bring Tieshan and Ma Yuan out only. Mrs. Yin felt that he could not take care of him, so she asked her to follow him. Chen Mo was deeply suspicious of who was taking care of whom, so she was angry and did not bring her personal maid out. She was the one who took care of Chen Mo's daily life along the way.
"It's better to hire two smart and capable people." Chen Si smiled and said, "When I went to the restaurant to order delivery, I saw a teahouse to be transferred, and I wanted to..."
"My master, don't you still want to open a teahouse?" the third lady said in surprise.
"Why not?" said silently, "I thought this was the only thing I saw in the couplets in the teahouse."
"What couplet?"
"The first couplet is 'no reluctance and convenience when coming and going', and the second couplet is 'Smoking smoke and drinking tea, saying that it is long and short, saying that it is short and free.'" said silently, "If you want to understand the various aspects of the people, is there any more suitable places than this?"
"Then... OK." The third lady was a little overwhelmed and thought to herself that she just thought it was this master's toy.
"Let's go to bed first, let's talk about it tomorrow." Chen Si yawned and hugged her upstairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At seven o'clock in the morning... With the popularity of Western clocks, the people's name for time has also quietly changed, and one hour is replaced by two hours. At seven o'clock in the morning, it has become a fashionable saying at the beginning of the Chen Shishi.
After having breakfast downstairs, Shi Jing ordered Ma Yuan to go to Qianjie and get rid of the teahouse. Ma Yuan was surprised to hear this and said, "If you have such a big deal, let me do it alone."
"I don't even dare to take this responsibility." Chen Si looked down on him and said, "How can I give you an important task in the future?"
‘Can it be one thing…’ Ma Yuan muttered in depression, but he didn’t dare to say anything more and went out to the store.
After packing up the dining table, the third lady continued to decorate the room. She just did it for a rough day yesterday, and it took her more time to do it.
Chen Mo picked up a few newspapers bought by Tieshan and went upstairs. He did not enter the room, but climbed to the top platform... In order to avoid being recognized, Chen Mo not only disguised himself, but also used the strong sunlight to tan his fair skin into bronze. Except for Xu Wei, Chu Dashou, who is usually only one or several times acquaintances, it is difficult to recognize him as the long-lost Master Chen Ge.
In order to maintain skin, silence requires enough sunlight. Today is sunny, not like winter at all. Tieshan had already transported the small recliner machine tea set to the platform and was making tea for him with quick hands and feet.
Standing on the platform and looking around, I found that this was the commanding height of a nearby area. Looking down at the surroundings, the black ridges were rolling and all connected into one, boundless, and it was difficult to distinguish between the east, south, west and north. But you might as well see the clothes on the bamboo poles in the neighboring yard, the imitates, gems and green garlic planted in the flowerpot, the pigeon cages on the roof, the pigeon flocks linger in the blue sky, and the melodious pigeon whistles, which really makes people feel relaxed.
After seeing the situation, he sat down on the recliner in a comfortable mood, savored a cup of fragrant tea, and looked through today's newspapers. Shanghai is densely populated, has a developed economy, and the newspaper industry is naturally developed, and there are seven or eight more mainstream types. Among them, the Shanghai Daily, which has the largest circulation, is printed in the middle of the night, and is sent to newsstands at all streets before dawn, ensuring that citizens can buy the latest newspapers with the aroma of ink together. The rest of the newspapers are not willing to fall behind and do their best to deliver the latest newspapers to the citizens.
The silent residence is close to Miaoqian Street, and you can buy all the newspapers. Knowing that he has the habit of reading newspapers, he doesn't need to give silent instructions. When Tieshan goes out to buy breakfast, he collects all the newspapers he can buy.
There were so many newspapers who were silent and didn't know which one to read first, but finally picked up the largest one. The newspaper had sixteen pages, of which half of them were all kinds of advertisements. This made the silence, who suffered from the pain of finding news in the cracks of advertising in his previous life, shook his head. He remembered that when he was reading newspapers in Nanjing, although there were advertisements, they were all subtle and hidden in the corners. It was not like now, occupying the entire page, and it was really... the world was getting worse.
