The night swallowed the last breath of the remnant sun, and the night was like a black curtain on the stage, slowly falling.

In view of today's poor state, Zhu Ping'an returned to bed and slept after leaving the word quitting alcohol on the desk.

The night is quiet, and everything falls asleep.

On the second day, Zhu Ping'an was woken up by a sound of banging and beating, rubbing his eyes, his slightly drunk head yesterday finally regained his consciousness at this moment, and he didn't dare to drink like that in the future, at least not before the crown ceremony.

The Ming Dynasty still attaches great importance to the Chinese etiquette system, the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty edicted the crown ceremony, from the emperor, the crown prince, the prince, the official, the lower and the people, have formulated the etiquette of the crown ceremony, in general, the Ming Dynasty crown ceremony is more popular. In particular, those who read books must go through the crown ceremony before they can be recognized, and they will be given the table word at that time.

It's just that he didn't know why he was beating like this outside, Zhu Ping'an got up and got dressed, scooped a scoop of water from the bucket and poured it into the basin, ready to wash. Before he put his hand in the water, Zhu Ping'an heard a knock on the door mixed with a noisy knocking sound.

Who is so undisciplined, so messy in the morning.

Zhu Ping'an shook off the water droplets on his hand, walked to the door and opened the door, and then saw the shopkeeper looking at him with a pleasant smile, and behind him were two errand soldiers, big red messengers, one holding red paper, and one holding a small gong.

"Two poor masters, this is Zhu Ping'an and Zhu Gongzi." The shopkeeper nodded and introduced to the two servants, and then clasped his hands into fists and congratulated Zhu Ping'an with a smile, "Congratulations to Zhu Gongzi, congratulations to Zhu Gongzi." ”

The children's examination has passed three levels of rigorous examinations, and only those who pass the examination can obtain the fame of showing talent. It is indeed not easy to be a showman, so after the child is admitted to the show, there is a special person to report the good news - to report the good news.

Zhu Ping'an looked at the messenger who reported the good news, slightly surprised. Although I know that there will be good news, but don't all the good news go home, why did I come to the inn?

"Don't be surprised by Zhu Gongzi, the person who reported the good news went to your mansion from Yingtian yesterday, and our two brothers also went through the motions, congratulations to Zhu Gongzi on the Anqing case in high school. Childe is young and promising, and his future is bound to be limitless. ”

The officer holding the red paper in his hand was a good eloquent, and he arched his hands and said congratulations.

"Thank you two auspicious words, there are two people who have a trip, a little heart is not respect. Ask the two of you to buy a cup of tea to moisten your throat. Zhu Ping'an smiled in return, and then took out two pieces of broken silver from his sleeves and stuffed them into the hands of the two servants without a trace.

The two officers accepted it after a few false excuses, touched the broken silver in their palms, and smiled brighter on their faces.

"Then the two of us will be disrespectful, oh. I almost forgot about the business, and the son went to the Jiangnan Gongyuan at noon today to write a personal confession, that is, to write his age, place of origin, and three generations of resumes. And to indicate the figure, complexion, beard, etc., this is the annual practice. After the son writes the confession, it will be reviewed by the instructor and stamped with the seal, and then it will be sent to the senior officer, of course, the son only needs to write the confession. The officer with the red paper in his hand took the broken silver to his sleeve and patted his head. He explained carefully to Zhu Ping'an.

"Childe is already a showman, and when he goes to Jiangnan Gongyuan at noon, he might as well change into a student costume. lest anyone look for a son. Another errand officer with a small gong was attentive and reminded him.

"Thanks for the reminder." Zhu Ping'an thanked him.

In the early days of the Ming Dynasty. In order to consolidate his rule, measures were taken to restore the traditions of the Han nationality and remove the influence of the Yuan Dynasty in the clothing and crown system. Fully restore the Han people's clothing. At the beginning of the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang picked the Zhou and Han dynasties and took the Tang and Song dynasties, mainly from the four aspects of fabrics, styles, sizes and colors, and established the clothing system of the Ming Dynasty. There is also a detailed system for the clothing of the students, that is, the talents, "the students are shirts, made of jade-colored cloth and silk, with wide sleeves and soap edges, and soap stripes and soft towels hanging belts." Whoever lifts up a prisoner will not be subject to it. "Scholars are not allowed to wear Xiucai clothes before they are admitted to Xiucai, but they are not so strict after Hongwu.

Although the robes made by his mother Chen for himself are also worn by scholars, after all, they are not standard student clothes, and after sending away the shopkeeper and the two good news officers, Zhu Ping'an went downstairs to find a ready-to-wear store on the street and bought a set of student uniforms to deal with emergencies, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the first day of becoming a student.

Zhu Ping'an always paid attention to restaurants and the like a while ago, but he never paid attention to ready-to-wear stores.

Zhu Ping'an came out of the inn, and randomly found a direction to find a ready-to-wear store, there are many shops on the street, but ready-to-wear stores are very rare.

After walking for a long distance, I found a cloth shop, and the business was not good.

Zhu Ping'an walked in, and the shop guys came to greet him listlessly, "What does the son need, we have all kinds of cloth and silk in our store." ”

"I want to buy a ready-to-wear suit." Zhu Ping'an said.

"Ready-to-wear, our store also has it." The shopkeeper led Zhu Ping'an inside, "Son, please see, is there anything you like?" ”

"I want to buy a student uniform." Zhu Ping'an looked at the clothes recommended by the guy in the store, and shook his head slightly, none of them were raw clothes.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was not interested, and waved his hand, "I have never done a small shop for student uniforms, don't hide it from my son, I am afraid that there will be no student clothes that my son needs nearby, if my son really needs it, you might as well go to the other side of the Qinhuai River to see, there are often people who read there, and maybe there are students who need it." ”

Zhu Ping'an came out of this store, found another one, and got the same answer.

Well, it seems that I can only go to the other side of the Qinhuai River.

Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly bitterly, and walked to the other side of the Qinhuai River, there is a bridge connecting the Qinhuai River nearby, which is the bridge that reads "A gentleman is not a bridge, and a gentleman is not a gentleman when crossing the bridge".

Zhu Ping'an walked across the bridge and saw the name of the bridge "Wende Bridge" on the other side of the bridge. Wende Bridge is better called Junzi Bridge. On the north side of the bridge is the Confucius Temple, which respects teachers and teaching, while on the south side of the bridge is Fireworks Willow Lane, this bridge can indeed measure the gentleman.

As soon as Zhu Ping'an crossed the bridge, he heard a coquettish laugh.

"Giggles. I thought that you were a half-grown scholar, and you didn't secretly cross the bridge. ”

Zhu Ping'an looked up and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a falling ponytail, looking at herself playfully and laughing.

This girl is also beautiful. The eyes are big.

"What's the matter, don't you know someone?" The girl said angrily, "They wanted to invite you to my room to play." ”

Zhu Ping'an was a little speechless, and arched his hand slightly, "Thank you for your kindness." I wonder if the girl knows if there is a ready-to-wear store near here? ”

The girl covered her lips when she heard this, blinked her big eyes, and the banter became stronger, "Ready-to-wear store, you have crossed the bridge, why are you shy?" It's the worst excuse I've ever heard, but you're crossing the bridge to find me? ”

Zhu Ping'an didn't want to entangle with her more, so he arched his hand and said, "Since that's the case, don't bother." ”

After speaking. Zhu Ping'an bypassed the joking girl and went to find a ready-to-wear store by himself.

"Hey, where are you going, there are other sweethearts of yours here?" When the girl saw Zhu Ping'an bypassing her, she couldn't help but stomp her feet and chased after her.

Other? It's like my brother is talking about you!

Zhu Ping'an ignored it and continued to walk forward, and not far away he saw a ready-to-wear store. The style is not bad, and from time to time there are people dressed as scholars coming in and out, which is far from being comparable to the cloth shops I just saw.

"This boy wants to buy cloth for this young lady?" The shopkeeper looked at Zhu Ping'an. I looked at the girl who was chasing after me, and I took it for granted that a certain scholar was buying flower cloth to please the girl, so I asked enthusiastically.

Hearing this, the girl's face was proud, this half-old scholar was honest, and he wanted to send cloth to please me.

Zhu Ping'an shook his head. He said lightly, "Definitely." This young lady is not related to me, why should I buy cloth for her? I've heard you have a living suit. I came here to buy a set. ”

The girl's face darkened when she heard this, she clenched her teeth, and muttered in her mouth that she didn't know what to scold Zhu Ping'an, probably something like a nerd who didn't understand the amorous feelings.

"Oh, it's a little clumsy. Childe inside please. The shopkeeper made a mistake, so he stretched out his hand and falsely invited Zhu Ping'an to enter the store.

There are a lot of raw clothes in the store, and it is estimated that when the scholars go to the gold powder jade building, they often visit the ready-to-wear store here.

"Hey, you don't want to be a show to go crazy, this is something that can only be worn by students, if you wear it indiscriminately, you will be beaten by the government." The girl also came in, and when she saw that Zhu Ping'an really wanted to buy a student uniform, she couldn't be angry, and hurriedly reminded Zhu Ping'an.

"Thank you for the reminder, but I was lucky to win the hospital exam this time." Zhu Ping'an didn't reply, and while looking at his clothes, he spoke lightly.

"Come on, stop daydreaming, how old are you!" The girl didn't believe it, and laughed again.

Do you believe it or not, do my bird business, Zhu Ping'an didn't say anything.

Most of the talents in the examination are adults, and the store never thought that there would be students of Zhu Ping'an's size, so there are no ready-to-wear clothes suitable for Zhu Ping'an in the store.

It's not going to be easy.

"If you ask me, I'll cut it for you." Seeing this, the girl approached Zhu Ping'an and said with a wink.

Yes, it can be cut and modified, the girl reminded the dreamer with a word.

"Thank you, girl, for reminding me. Shopkeeper, please help me wrap up the smallest one. Zhu Ping'an thanked the girl and asked the store guy to wrap up the clothes.

After paying, Zhu Ping'an took his clothes and walked straight to the other side of Qinhuai, there is also a cloth shop there, which can definitely be cut, so it's a big deal to pay more.

"Hey, you, don't you look down on me!" The girl saw that Zhu Ping'an didn't look at her much, so she crossed the bridge directly, couldn't help clenching her teeth, her face turned a little white, and after a second, she shouted at Zhu Ping'an's back, and her tone was also resentful.

Despise? How can it be, to look down on those who read the books of the sages but are nostalgic for the wind and the moon and forget to return.

"No, the Tao is not the same." Zhu Ping'an stopped, turned around and arched his hand to the girl, "Thank you for reminding the girl just now." ”

After speaking, Zhu Ping'an left directly. (To be continued)

ps: Because I wrote a book for the first time at the starting point, I don't know that the next chapter on the shelves will be 3,000 words, I'm sorry for the first few sheets, and I'll try to write as much as possible later, so forgive me. The gentleman gathers the righteous hall and rises from a cold door
