Chapter 559: High-ranking Officials
It's just that before Ling Niang could ask, her master died with a whimper.
So I only know that this dress is called a gentleman.
Lingniang doesn't know how many times she has come to see this dress, and she wants to see the design concept of this dress from it, but unfortunately every time it is in vain.
If it weren't for Jiang Chen's arrival, it is estimated that Ling Niang would not have been able to understand the inspiration and origin of the name of the dress designed by the master for the rest of her life.
"Do you know why in Huaguo, Lotus is called a gentleman?"
Jiang Chen looked at this little girl and was very curious about this dress, so he asked rhetorically.
I'm going to tell her about the dress.
"Forgive Lingniang for being ignorant, and please ask Mr. Jiang for advice. ”
Lingniang humbly asked Jiang Chen for advice.
It seems that she is still a child who loves to learn, looking at her attitude of loving learning, it is no wonder that under so many excellent tailors, she can become a boss at a young age.
In fact, the ancient poet saw that although the lotus flower grows in the mud, it will not be contaminated by the silt, but blooms beautiful flowers in the mud, symbolizing the character of the gentleman, so the lotus is also called the gentleman. ”
Jiang Chen explained patiently.
Ling Niang seemed to have an understanding after hearing this.
"My master has spent most of his life pursuing the art of designing clothes, and I didn't expect that a small piece of clothing could have such a big meaning. ”
In the end, this dress was naturally selected by Jiang Chen and worn on his body.
Originally, Jiang Chen heard that this dress was designed by Lingniang's master before his death, and he was not too embarrassed to wear it.
If it weren't for Ling Niang saying that every piece of clothing was created to wait for someone who was destined to be able to wear it by a person with such perfect body proportions, I believe the master would be very happy to see it.
Seeing that Ling Niang was not disgusted, Jiang Chen was not polite.
There are so many clothes, and there is indeed only this one that best meets Jiang Chen's requirements.
Jiang Chen took this dress and went into the changing room to change, and when he walked out, everyone was stunned.
I saw a handsome boy holding an ancient fan on his chest, gently fanning the wind.
The smell of books is blowing in the face, showing the elegant style.
It's just that there seems to be a hint of bohemianism between the elegance, giving people a feeling of neither humility nor arrogance, which is very suitable for Jiang Chen.
After Jiang Chen walked out of the changing room, the prince was also very surprised to see the scene when Jiang Chen changed into an ancient costume.
Later, he reacted and praised:
"Only then did I really realize what it means for Buddha to rely on gold clothes, and people to rely on clothes, although this dress does not look very gorgeous, but it is especially suitable for Mr. Jiang. ”
Even the prince couldn't stand the praise, but how suitable this dress was for Jiang Chen.
Nowadays, Huaguo wears modern clothes, and relatively few people will wear ancient costumes to go out, let alone wear ancient costumes to attend any large-scale banquets.
But Goryeo is different, they generally attend banquets, not in suits and evening dresses, but in costumes unique to the Goryeo Kingdom.
Their costumes are somewhat similar to the ancient Hanfu of China, so Jiang Chen is not too abrupt when he wears an ancient costume.
"This is the money for clothes. ”
After the prince paid the money, he left with Jiang Chen.
Don't look at this Royal Uniqlo is specially opened for royals, but the money still has to be paid.
In the whole of Goryeo, only the current emperor does not have to spend money to buy clothes at the Royal Uniqlo.
This is mainly due to the huge size of the entire royal kingdom of Goryeo, and the fear of getting clothes too easily will lead to some people being extravagant and wasteful, and the situation of wearing one piece and throwing one piece will appear, which will keep the royal Uniqlo busy.
If the production of the emperor's dragon robe is delayed, then the matter will be big.
In order to avoid this kind of thing, the emperor ordered everyone to buy clothes at Royal Uniqlo with their own money.
So even if the prince comes to buy clothes, he has to pay.
A few hours later......
Jiang Chen followed the prince and his gang to the scene of the large banquet.
The banquet scene is actually a very large, particularly spacious wooden building, don't look at the appearance of the wooden house design, but after entering the inside, it is European style.
As soon as they came in, everyone ran over after seeing the prince.
"See His Majesty the Crown Prince!"
Everywhere the prince went, everyone had to bow down to him as a sign of submission to the majesty of the royal family.
Of course, there are also people who do not obey the prince who bow down for the prince, but they still have to salute, otherwise if the emperor knows about it, it will be a crime of killing the head.
"Get up~"
The prince waved his hand, and everyone got up.
Only there was no emperor and queen at the large banquet, that is, the prince's father and mother, so the biggest figure in this banquet was the prince.
Everyone had to bow down when they saw the prince.
Jiang Chen felt the feeling of being under one person and above ten thousand people behind the prince.
It's a pity that these people seem to be subservient to the prince, but in fact, they are just afraid of the emperor standing behind the prince.
"Mr. Jiang, please come with me. ”
The prince grabbed Jiang Chen and walked with Jiang Chen on the stage.
Jiang Chen's face was confused.
I didn't understand the prince's intention in suddenly grabbing his hand and stepping on stage, so he followed him on stage.
"Ahem, I am very grateful to Uncle Wang for holding this banquet in order to catch me up and wash the dust, and I also thank you for taking the time to attend the banquet in your busy schedule. ”
After the prince came to the stage, he first said a few words of thanks that were not nutritious, attracting the attention of the big guys.
It was probably because the prince only pulled Jiang Chen to the stage, so when the big guy looked over, he noticed Jiang Chen beside the prince.
They were all looking at him, curious why the prince dragged Jiang Chen, a guy he didn't know, to the stage.
"Lili, who is that handsome guy on the stage?
A noble woman in gorgeous clothes saw Jiang Chen on the stage, and her eyes instantly popped up with small stars, and they all asked the people around curiously to know who this person was.
It's just that the result is obvious, and the people around him naturally don't know Jiang Chen, so he shook his head and said:
"I don't know, it seems that I have a good relationship with the prince. ”
Something like this happened throughout the banquet.
No one knew what was going on, and no one knew Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen felt a little embarrassed inexplicably above, looked at the prince, and didn't understand why he was pulled on stage.
"The big guys must be curious about who this young man standing next to me is? To tell you the truth, he is the lifesaver I met when I went out to establish diplomatic relations, and if it weren't for him, I guess I wouldn't be able to stand here unharmed to see you all right now. ”
The prince looked at Jiang Chen gratefully.
Seeing that everyone in the audience was talking about it, knowing that everyone was guessing Jiang Chen's identity, the prince knew their curiosity.
Pull over Jiang Chen and officially introduce Jiang Chen to everyone.
What he wants is to let everyone know about Jiang Chen, because he has more important things to say next.
He looked at Jiang Chen, smiled slightly, and said:
"Today, the reason why I want to use this banquet to introduce Mr. Jiang is mainly because I want everyone to remember him, since he saved me, he is my warrior of the Goryeo Kingdom, and I want to express my gratitude to him in front of so many people. ”
After the prince said some emotional and stirring words.
He beckoned to the servant not far away.
The servant understood, and picked up a red plate on which was placed an intricately carved object, like a token.
"Mr. Jiang, this token is like seeing this prince, I want to issue this token to you in front of so many people, I hope you can accept it, as a real warrior of Goryeo, as long as you are willing to stay in Goryeo, high-ranking officials, gold and silver treasures, or beautiful women, I will satisfy you. ”
The prince took the token and wanted to hand it to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen may not know how useful this token is, but after everyone in the audience saw this token, they were simply salivating, and their eyes were straight.
With this token, it means that all the resources of the entire Goryeo Kingdom except for the imperial palace can be used freely, so that all the cards can be entered and exited freely, and even in times of crisis, you can call for reinforcements in the local official uniform with this token.
Because of this, when everyone saw this token, a trace of jealousy involuntarily flashed in their eyes.
I was very jealous of this token, and I was jealous that Jiang Chen, an outsider, could actually get such a valuable thing from the prince.
Jiang Chen slowly raised his hand.
The big guy also followed Jiang Chen's hand, slowly stretched his neck, and stared hard at Jiang Chen's hand and the token closer and closer.
With a sigh of relief, I can't wait to go on stage and snatch the token.
That's how I got the token, and in just a few seconds, thousands of thoughts flashed through the minds of everyone in the audience.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was about to pick up the token, the prince's smile became brighter and brighter.
"Your Majesty the Prince, thanks to your love, it's a pity that the eldest husband has ambitions in all directions and doesn't want to stay in Guiguo, and I was born and raised in China, we Chinese people pay attention to the roots of fallen leaves, and we still like to stay in China, so I can't accept this token, let alone stay in Goryeo. ”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen raised his hand, just to push the token back.
The prince was also a little confused after being rejected.
In his imagination, Jiang Chen excitedly accepted the token and accepted to become a warrior of the Goryeo Kingdom, and the picture of becoming a famous general under him in one fell swoop was instantly shattered.
He didn't expect that he would propose such a high benefit, but Jiang Chen still refused.
The crown prince obviously didn't understand why Jiang Chen would refuse the opportunity to become a master in one fell swoop.
If this kind of good thing falls on ordinary people, they will definitely hurry home to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and thank the ancestors for their blessing.
"Mr. Jiang, I think you are dressed plainly, and you should develop in China in an average way, right? At most, you are just a small businessman who has made some money, so it is better to accept this token than this, and let you have a rich fortune, which will be passed on from generation to generation, so as to ensure that your ancestors and grandchildren will not worry about food and clothing from generation to generation. ”
Once again, the prince offered a tempting condition.
Everyone was even more jealous in their hearts.
In other words, if Jiang Chen promised to stay, then his official position and his property after his death would be inherited to the next generation, and he also promised to protect his grandchildren from generation to generation.
