Chapter 53: The Torn Vestment
Feng Shanyue was pondering what Lan Xin gave Fang Qingzhu when suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She hurriedly turned around, it turned out to be Fang Qingzhu.
Fang Qingzhu smiled brightly, "Are you back?"
"yes! Just came back. ”
"You're finally back, and if you don't come back, I don't think I'll be able to jump. I'll jump behind you when you're there, and when you're gone, I'll be in a hurry!"
"How can it be, Senior Sister is also dancing very well!" stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, Feng Shanyue also responded with a smile.
"By the way, I went to Master Lanxin today, and she said that the palace has sent us our new magic robes for the rain prayer ceremony, let us go over and pick them!"
Feng Shanyue and Nangong Xue glanced at each other, "Didn't you send it to us?"
Fang Qingzhu looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Master Lanxin said, this magic robe is not tailor-made, some are big and some are small, let us choose the one that fits first." ”
Feng Shanyue said with a smile: "Master Lanxin is very good to Senior Sister!"
"Where is it good for me? She is good for you! She specially ordered, you must be asked to pick it!" Fang Qingzhu squeezed his eyes, "The two of us, it's just your light." ”
Feng Shanyue shook her head, "Then let's pick it now?"
"Let's go, it's better to go early! Today the vestments will be distributed to everyone, and from tomorrow, they will be dancing in the robes, and there are only two days left before the rain prayer ceremony." ”
Feng Shanyue and Nangong Xue had no choice but to follow Fang Qingzhu and walk towards Master Lanxin's residence.
Seeing Feng Shanyue and the three of them coming, Master Lanxin was very happy, and beckoned to Feng Shanyue again and again, "Come on! Come on! I'm worried that you won't be able to come back from the palace!"
She had never been treated so warmly by Master Lanxin, Feng Shanyue was a little unaccustomed to it, and she didn't know what to say.
Master Blue Heart didn't care, and pulled her over, there were several large wooden boxes inside, all of which were filled with clothes.
"This is your vestment, you pick first, choose the one that fits. ”
"Master Lan, is this appropriate?"
"Oh, you kid is really honest, the teacher asks you to choose, you can choose!"
Feng Shanyue had no choice but to lift a set from the inside, this robe is black and white, a white silk skirt, and a black straight-necked cardigan on the outside, with wide sleeves, very elegant, and soft-bottomed silk shoes with black and white cloud patterns. The bottom of the black caftan is embroidered with a swirl pattern, and a five-tailed phoenix bird is embroidered on the back, although the colors are only green, yellow, ochre, and red, but it gives people a strong sense of solemnity.
Seeing that she had been staring at her clothes, Master Lan said with a smile: "This magic robe was specially made in the palace for this rain prayer ceremony. This black represents water, and it is also the most important color in the entire Great Shang Kingdom. You're on the Rain team, so wear black. The five-tailed phoenix bird embroidered on it can only be worn at this ceremony, otherwise it is a crime. Don't look at it, put it on!" After speaking, she turned her head and asked Fang Qingzhu and Nangong Xue to pick out clothes.
After Feng Shanyue arrived in the Shang Dynasty, she had not worn such good clothes, they were soft and slippery to the touch, like skin, which was completely different from the general fabric, and it was light and comfortable to wear on the body.
"How is it?" Master Lan turned to look at Feng Shanyue who had changed into a magic robe, "This suit fits perfectly, you can wear this!"
Feng Shanyue nodded, and Fang Qingzhu and Nangong Xue also chose their clothes. The three of them changed their robes, wrapped them, and then thanked Master Lan.
"Don't be polite. You can help me get the other people to pick up the clothes!"
Feng Shanyue and the three of them went separately and called the others to get their clothes before returning to their residences. After a while, everyone came back with their clothes. These are girls in their teens and twenties, and when they love to be beautiful, even if they are vestments, they can't wait to take them out and try them on.
"Oh! I'm a little big!"
"Mine is so long, it's all on my feet!"
"Mine is too short!"
After a while, all kinds of complaints cried out one after another, Fang Qingzhu leaned into Feng Shanyue's ear and whispered, "Fortunately, Master Lan let us choose clothes first, otherwise we would have to be like them." ”
Feng Shanyue nodded, "If it really doesn't fit, you can change it, right?"
"How can it be so easy?" Fang Qingzhu shook his head, "This is a dress from the palace, and the threads and fabrics used are not commonly seen, not to mention that this is a magic robe made for the rain prayer ceremony." I've heard that the high priest prayed for these garments, just to make the rain ceremony smoother!"
Feng Shanyue was surprised, but it was understandable when she thought of the god-fearing attitude of this era.
She thought for a moment, stood up and said, "Everyone, you can try exchanging clothes with the people around you, maybe you can find a suitable one!"
The witches who were complaining stopped, and some of them understood first, "Yes, the master just let us get the clothes, and he didn't say that we must wear the clothes ourselves!"
"Yes, yes, yes!
Feng Shanyue stepped forward, "Then please put on your own robes, and if you don't think it fits, stand in a row, and we'll help you see how to exchange the most suitable one!"
After a mess, there were twelve people who needed to change their clothes. Feng Shanyue asked them to stand in a row, and then adjusted their clothes according to the difference in height, shortness, fat and thinness, although they couldn't fit perfectly, they could basically wear them out.
The whining in the house finally stopped, and Fang Qingzhu said with a smile: "Shanyue, you are really a warm-hearted person!"
"It's just a gesture!"
The next day, all the shrine maidens were told to put on their robes and practice dancing, so everyone got up early in the morning, changed their clothes, and couldn't wait to go out. Feng Shanyue also put on the magic robe she brought back, and just as she was about to walk out, a scream suddenly came from behind.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?"
Nangong Xue pointed to Feng Shanyue's clothes in horror, "Why is your clothes broken?"
"Where is the hole?" Feng Shanyue hurriedly took off her coat, looked at it, and suddenly her heart sank. It turned out that the neck of the five-tailed phoenix bird behind it was cut by some sharp weapon.
"How can this be?" Nangong Xue leaned over and touched the opening with her hand, "This seems to have been cut with some kind of knife, someone must have done it on purpose!"
Feng Shanyue was pondering, who was doing such a lack of virtue behind her back, when she suddenly heard Fang Qingzhu's scream.
"My clothes are torn, too!, which black-hearted bastard did it?" she scolded in anger.
Feng Shanyue looked over and saw that the five-tailed phoenix bird on her clothes had also been cut in the same position.
Fang Qingzhu was so angry that he was about to cry, "What should I do? This is the magic robe issued by the palace! It was cut, what should I do?"
Nangong Xue frowned and said, "And this person is very vicious. He deliberately cut the neck of the five-tailed phoenix bird, which was very disrespectful. If anyone finds out, you two will be in big trouble!"
