There are a variety of high-end clubs in the northern capital, and 'Hongyuan' is just one of them.

It is a courtyard-shaped building, which was formerly a royal palace and is now a meeting place for dignitaries.

In fact, there are many top-level clubs like this in the northern capital, and Hongyuan is not large, just a county palace, the scale is less than half or even smaller than those big mansions, but 'Hongyuan' is the top one in all these clubs. It is a place where top celebrities gather.

Liu Chenghu told Yang Meng that it was because there was a cave in 'Hongyuan', but he didn't say anything about it, so he wanted to give Yang Meng a sense of mystery.

Yang Meng parked the car at the gate of 'Hongyuan', which is the authentic gate of the palace. Outside the gate, there are stone lions, lampposts, horse-tied stakes and hehe wood, etc., and inside the gate is a shadow wall.

In fact, just look at the gate here to know the status of the original owner here.

In the feudal period, everything had to pay attention to rules and regulations, and building a house was no exception, and if the rules and regulations were exceeded, then wait for severe punishment. Unlike now, as long as you have the money, you can build whatever you want!

For example, the rule of the Qing Dynasty was that 'the foundation of the prince's mansion is ten feet high, the outer wall is enclosed, the main gate is five rooms wide, and the door is three. The main hall is seven wide, the stone fence around the front pier, the left and right wings are nine rooms each, the apse is five wide, the bedroom is two, each is five wide, the back building is one heavy, and the upper and lower are seven rooms each. From the apse to the left and right of the building, there are wide columns. The main entrance and the wide hall are all green glazed tiles, and the back building, the wing building, and the side are all natural color cylinder tiles. On the main hall, there are seven kinds of spine immortals, and five kinds are used in the rest of the house. Where there is a main house, the main building door post, are red and green oil decoration. Each door has six gold nails and three, painting five-clawed cloud dragon, three open screens behind the seat, painting golden cloud dragons are five-clawed, carving dragon heads are forbidden. Where the next building house, are Danying Zhu households. The treasury, the kitchen stables, and the houses of the deacons are placed on the left and right as they are suitable. The door posts are black oil, and the roof is evenly tiled. The prince's house system, the base is eight feet high, the main gate is heavy, the main house is four, the main building is heavy, the number of repairs and the main gate of the golden nails, the main house pressure ridge, are reduced by two-sevenths of the prince. Liang Dong is gilded, painting four-clawed cloud python and various flowers. There are no seats in the main house. Yu is the same as the Prince's Mansion. The county king's mansion is the same as the prince's mansion'.

Look, not to mention the size of the house, even how many nails are used, what color, what pattern is used, and what decoration is arranged clearly and clearly.

Chen Haijun stood at the door: "Mr. Yang, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Yang Meng smiled: "Then what are you doing politely? You see you have a dinner party, I came here with my family, and now I want to say I'm sorry! I said Boss Chen, where did I park the car?"

A waiter walked over: "Sir, just give me the car keys." ”

Yang Meng handed the key to the waiter and said, "Thank you." ”

"Is this a waiter?" Yang Meng asked Chen Haijun after watching the car drive away.

Chen Haijun nodded: "Mr. Yang, you don't have to worry about your car." Although they all greet the media here, and there are no paparazzi looking for trouble------ you see so many high-end clubs in the northern capital, but who has reported here? But if ordinary people see the situation here, it will be very troublesome to put it on the Internet to cause public opinion. So the car will be parked in a special parking place. ”

Yang Meng stretched out his hands: "What car am I worried about? This car belongs to Liu Chenghu and not mine." ”

The reason why he was curious to ask this was because of the waiter's clothes.

Yang Meng once accompanied Qi Kun to buy clothes when he was in Handong City.

After all, Qi Kun is now the owner of the museum, isn't he? Now he is also wearing a suit and leather shoes every day. And even though he's trying to lose weight now, he's still a fat man. His clothes are all tailor-made in 'HUGO BOSS', and it costs tens of thousands of dollars to make this set without any good fabrics.

And what the waiter was wearing just now, Yang Meng recognized it at a glance------ it was also a custom suit of 'HOGO BOSS'! This is not counting his shoes, waist and tie and the like! In other words, Qi Kun's current clothes may not be as good as those worn by the waiters here!

A waiter's dress is so exquisite, you can imagine how luxurious it is.

Under the guidance of Chen Haijun, several people entered the 'Hong Garden'.

Well, it looks like the original owner of this place should be mixed up.

Why do you say that? There was no provision for gardens in the rules and regulations of the Qing Dynasty. And many rich and powerful palaces will make a fuss about the garden, some of the palace's gardens and buildings are connected even larger than the palace, and some palaces will choose to choose another place to build their own garden, or even go to their own garden to run a few miles. And 'Hong Garden' here, the garden is built in the house, it is just a rockery pool, but it is a bit of Dongying courtyard style meaning, simple is not simple.

The waitress here is also very interesting. Wearing a light green Qing Dynasty palace maid's dress, she looks extremely elegant with light makeup.

This made Yang Meng see a very good impression, generally speaking, those hotels that focus on the so-called 'palace cuisine', the waiters in them are like in Zhao Lirong's sketches, wearing red and bright flags and stepping on the bottom of the 'flower pot', saying that this is the standard 'Qing palace maid' dress.

Isn't that?

Thanks to so many Qing court drama directors for talking nonsense, now people's perception of the history of the Qing Dynasty is wrong.

For example, 'flag head'.

When people think of Qing court dramas, the first thing that comes to mind is the 'flag head' on the woman's head like a peacock's tail, the queen is also the flag head, the concubine is also the flag head, and the palace maid is also the flag head。。。。。。 I feel that as long as it is a Qing court drama, if the woman does not have the whole 'flag head' on her head, then it should not be the Qing Dynasty, take a look at what "Kang X Weifu Private Interview" and "Also X Gege" and the like are in a woman's head with a 'big wing' on the top of her head.

In fact, this kind of flag head was born at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there is a saying that Cixi studied it in order to distinguish the ranks, anyway, even if it is not the end of the Qing Dynasty, it is also a product of the late Qing Dynasty, and the earliest portrait of the flag head is a woman with a comb similar to the flag head in the "West Top Passing Map" in the Daoguang period.

Is it appropriate for you to let the women of the Kangqian period take the banner of 'big wings'?

There are also beautiful clothes that are red and glamorous for the palace maid, in fact, not to mention the palace maid, even the lord of Gege and the like don't wear them like that!

At that time, aristocratic women generally wore darker colors, unless they encountered a major festival to wear 'auspicious clothes' would be brighter, and the clothes they usually wore were generally selected low-key styles and colors such as stone blue.

They all wear it like this, not to mention the palace maids! Except for the 'longevity month' on the queen mother's lunar birthday, the palace maids can't wear red at all! Moreover, they don't wear flags when they comb their braids, and they wear white socks and flat blue shoes on their feet------ so they don't wear any 'flower pot bottoms' at all!

The clothes of the waiters in those so-called 'authentic palace restaurants' are just laymen's.

After listening to Yang Meng's explanation, Yang Xiaojing and the others suddenly realized.

Yang Xiaojing said: "I thought that the palace maids would wear those 'flag shoes', how interesting is it to walk in those shoes?"

Yang Meng smiled: "It's just you, can't even wear high heels, and still wear flag shoes?

This 'flag shoe' is different from the 'flag head', it has a long history. The ancestors of the Manchu people cut wood to make shoes, and at that time, women would enter wild vegetables, mushrooms, fungus, etc., and in order to prevent being bitten by poisonous snakes, they wore wooden shoes with high shoe roots.

These heels are different from today's high heels, more like 'platform shoes', with a heel erected directly in the middle of the foot, a bit like today's stilts.

If it is thick at the top and thin at the bottom, it is called 'horseshoe bottom'; some are thin at the top and thick at the bottom, called 'flower pot bottom', and what are the names such as 'dragon fish bottom' and 'four flashes low', in fact, they are all 'flag shoes'.

If the palace maid wears these shoes to work, then it will really kill people!

The soles under the early flag shoes were at most two or three centimeters thick, and later the soles of the ladies and nobles of the Qing court were basically about 15 centimeters, and the soles of some young girls could even reach about 25 centimeters!

Can you wear shoes that tall without a long period of practice?

Just like girls wear high heels now, aristocratic women at that time also made their height appear taller in this way, which made them appear more slender, and they couldn't walk fast in these shoes, so they looked much more elegant.

There is another reason why flag women wear flag shoes, that is, 'wrapping small feet'.

During the Qing Dynasty, banner women did not bind their feet. However, the main aesthetic standard of the Han Kingdom at that time was that women should wrap their small feet, and the Han people who married wives during that period were not married with small feet. Therefore, although those noble women of the Qing Dynasty had noble status, in the eyes of the world, their big feet were still a symbol of 'ugliness', and then they chose to wear high-heeled 'flower pot bottoms', and then covered their big feet with skirts to 'cover their ugliness'.

In fact, this kind of 'flag shoes' did play a positive role in the liberation of the little feet of the Han Kingdom.

After Yang Meng explained these things to Yang Xiaojing and the others, Chen Haijun applauded Yang Meng and said, "Mr. Yang is indeed erudite, this really doesn't match your age." ”

Yang Xiaojing said proudly: "My brother is a celebrity in the Handong City Library, and he used to soak in the library every day. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived. The waitress opened a door, the room was quite large, there were three dining tables in it, and Li Xiaoqing and they had already arrived.

Seeing Yang Meng coming, Li Xiaoqing ran to Yang Meng's side with a smile and greeted, "Brother Yang, thank you for inviting me and my classmates to dinner." ”

At this time, Li Xiaoqing's classmates also got up, and Yang Meng hurriedly beckoned: "Sit down, sit down, you are Xiaoqing's friends are my friends, don't be so polite, don't thank me, if you want to thank you, you should thank this Boss Chen, if you go to the showbiz in the future, maybe you will have to deal with Boss Chen!"

In fact, he didn't say this, Li Xiaoqing's classmates also knew it, they knew Chen Haijun's identity from the business card that Chen Haijun gave Li Xiaoqing, so they came here to see if there was a good opportunity.

Yang Meng also considered wearing her own casual clothes for them to come over to see Li Xiaoqing's classmates, men's suits and leather shoes, women's dresses and makeup.

Tsk, who hasn't been a little cautious these days?
