According to Kong Tai's report, in the Ming Dynasty, a piece of silk was only 600 wen, or 0.6 taels of silver. The length of a silk horse is 13 meters and the width is about 1.4 meters. Then, the 10-mile-long (5,000-meter) red silk barrier on one side is 385 horses, and the double-sided is 770 horses, which is worth 462 taels of silver......

"Hmm...... So cheap? Less than 500 taels? Then give the eldest niece a 'ten-mile red makeup'! Marin calculated it and immediately made up his mind.

It's no wonder that in ancient China, there was no "ten-mile red makeup", and there was not much money. 500 taels of silver, there are as many small and medium-sized landlords as many as cattle in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention those rich families.

However, his son used ordinary cheap red satin to lose some shares. Marin decided to give his eldest niece 0.6 taels of silver a horse of ordinary red silk. And his own son used 2 taels of silver for a piece of purple satin. In ancient times, vermilion was precious, especially purple, both in the East and the West. His own son used purple satin to make "ten miles of red makeup" to marry the princess of England, which is estimated to shock the whole of Europe......

In fact, there are not many aristocrats in Europe who can wear purple silk clothes now. After all, European silk and purple dyes are rare. Seeing Marin using 10 miles of purple satin as a fence-like barrier, it is estimated that a bunch of people will die in red-eyedness.

But they didn't know that in the Ming Dynasty, even the relatively expensive purple satin was only 2 taels of silver a horse. Moreover, silk that costs more than 1 tael of silver per horse is considered high-end.

In this way, 10 miles of purple satin is only 1540 taels of silver. Marin was suddenly not happy - not enough trenches! So, he changed Caesar's wedding specifications, and "Ten Mile Red Makeup" became "Ten Mile Red Makeup". Then, the length was expanded to 3.2 times the original, but the purchase price was only worth less than 5,000 taels of silver, which was very cheap.

Marin didn't know that the specifications of his son Caesar's "Ten Mile Red Makeup" that he set at random today later became the highest configuration for romantic weddings in Europe. However, it also suffers a lot of men who pursue girls. Because, "Ten Mile Red Makeup" is really expensive!

Later, some European girls asked their suitors, "Would you like to marry me ten miles in red makeup?" ”

Then, when the man who did not have enough money heard this, he turned around in fright and left......

Nima, don't look at the ordinary silk silk in the Ming Dynasty is less than 1 tael of silver, but in Europe you can buy more than a dozen gold coins. As for the purple silk, it was sold for 50 gold coins each. Lay a ten-mile-long purple satin barrier, the trench is a trench, but it is worth 1230,000 gold coins, and the average person can afford it? It is equivalent to one-tenth of the annual revenue of the Kingdom of France......

Therefore, later European aristocrats accepted the concept of 500 meters of "Huali". If nothing else, just to save some length, so as to spend less "red makeup" before. With such a cut, it saves most of the money...... Then, those European aristocrats who are strapped for money will tell the girl who pursues - I am a person who has read books, and the "ten miles of red makeup" that people say is ten miles, not ten miles, don't be led crooked by the inhuman guy of Marin the Great, we must respect the original......

Well, also, ten miles of purple satin was also exaggerated by the trench emperor of Marin the Great. In fact, the original one in the East is red satin, the kind worth more than a dozen gold coins, not the purple satin of 50 gold coins......

Because of the "Ten Mile Red Makeup" incident, Marin the Great became synonymous with "romantic father" in the eyes of European women in later generations. But in the eyes of male compatriots, this product is a "trench emperor", the kind of special loser...... But in private, the male compatriots also lamented in their hearts - I also want to have such a trench father like Julius Caesar, and I also want to tear up a green onion......

In fact, "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" was played by Marin at all. The original meaning of the family is that the burden of picking a dowry stretches for a long time, and "ten miles" is also an exaggerated adjective. Marin is a second goods, because he thinks that European silk is too rare, and no one sees it in the box, such as "who knows about brocade clothes at night". Moreover, if you really want to get a 10-mile-long dowry burden, the value is actually higher.

Therefore, he simply changed the concept and combined the "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" with the silk barrier used by Shi Chong and Wang Kaidou Fushi, and created a fake and shoddy version of "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" with a double-sided barrier.

The 1.4-meter-wide silk serves as a barrier, but it can't actually block the view of onlookers. But this kind of barrier itself is not used to block people's view, but to show off wealth. So, this height is just right. It not only allows people to see the height of the wedding, but also to see the expensive silk show under their noses. Therefore, it is the only means of prescribing. Especially, in Europe, where silk is scarce. This fake and shoddy version of "Ten Mile Red Makeup" is more shocking than the genuine one.

You see, the average poor nobleman can't wear silk clothes. As a result, the Hoffman royal family directly used silk and purple satin, which is the lowest grade of silk, as a barrier fence on the wedding aisle. It's inhumane......

Moreover, Marin, the emperor of the trenches, also distorted the wedding customs of Europe. Originally, it was actually popular to wear white wedding dresses in European weddings to symbolize holiness.

But Ma Lin is the soul of China, and he thinks that laying "ten miles of white makeup" is too special, it is simply a curse to the death of the whole family. Therefore, he first used genuine "Ten Mile Red Makeup" for his eldest niece, and later used "Ten Mile Purple Makeup" for his son, which virtually raised the standard of European royal weddings.

Later, under the influence of Emperor Marin, the European wedding custom no longer made white wedding dresses, but vigorously used red silk or purple silk. Among them, the nobles who were not wealthy enough used red silk as a barrier. The royal family, on the other hand, generally began to use purple satin as a barrier. From this, a word was also born, called "purple suit".

Being able to use a purple satin barrier and wearing a purple wedding dress represents a noble enough. Even, which later extended to high-end weapons and equipment, was also called "purple suit".

……

However, at the moment, Caesar and Princess Margaret are still young, and the wedding will be a few years away. Therefore, now "Ten Mile Purple Makeup" can't be done. Moreover, it will take time to get so much purple satin back.

But right now, in the treasury of the palace of Aurich, there is already a lot of silk and satin. And coincidentally, Marlin's future daughter-in-law, Princess Margaret, also likes purple.

So, Marin called his son Caesar and gave him a task - to arrange for a tailor to make 100 princess dresses according to Princess Margaret's size as Caesar's summer gift to Princess Margaret. After all, the time is about to enter summer, and I have to prepare some clothes for my future daughter-in-law. Then, wait for autumn and winter to prepare different styles of ......

"100 purple satin dresses? Daddy, isn't it too extravagant? Caesar was a little surprised, feeling that it was too wasteful.

Then, Marin knocked him out in the head, and scolded with a smile:

"You know a P! Princess Margaret is England behind her, and when she unites England, the benefits are enormous, what is a mere 100 purple satin dresses? ”

"Son, you remember! Men with no money coax women with sweet words, and rich men say 'swipe my card'...... Ahh Let me tell you, once upon a time, there was a festival invented by unscrupulous businessmen called Double 11...... On that day, if any man can empty the shopping cart for his favorite loser, he will have a very good chance of bringing her home...... What until you spit out...... Well, it's too early to say this, you're still young, and I'll talk to you in detail when I grow up......"
