Chapter 106: The Majesty of the Purple Robe
Chapter 106: The Majesty of the Purple Robe
The officials, the examiner Wai Lang was very respectful to lead the way for Xu Qing, just now, he kowtowed several times before he could do it, and then took Xu Qing to receive the official robe. The examiner Wai Lang is also bitter, he is used to being an uncle on weekdays, but who knows that today he met a bigger uncle.
The guard of the Xuanwu Gate is only slightly worse than the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry in terms of official order, and he is in front of the six servants.
Xu Qing walked behind, looking at the officials in the past in a hurry, thinking about the things accumulated during the New Year, he should have been very busy recently. After a while, the examiner Wailang took Xu Qing to the household department, which was in charge of money and food, and because it was also called the civil department before, it was the fattest place among the six departments.
The household department has four departments: "household department", degree branch, gold department, and warehouse department, and Xu Qing went to the outside of the warehouse department.
Those who manage money and grain are warehouses, and those who are in charge of weapons and chariots are warehouses, Xu Qing's official uniform has long been sanctioned, and now he still needs to go to the household department to draw and sign for it.
There are two types of official uniforms in the Tang Dynasty, one is the ceremonial dress, also known as the costume costume, which is used only in the court and sacrifices. One is the official uniform, also known as the regular uniform, which is worn during work. The dress is more gorgeous, it is wide-sleeved, and the style of the wide-sleeved coat can show a chic and luxurious demeanor, and the official dress is simple and narrow. The official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were still relatively traditional, using the ancient deep clothing system, the front and back of the clothes were straight, and the lower edge of the front and back placket was horizontally connected with a whole piece of cloth, and the waist was tightly bound with a leather belt. There are also welts on the collar, cuffs, and the edges of the garment.
There are also collar shirts, robes, heads, round necks, leather belts, long boots, etc., which are matched with the dress, and the regular clothes are matched with the head, and the foot clothes are black leather six-fold boots, and the ornaments include belts, fish bags, etc. The prince to the third product is made of purple Dake Ayaluo, and the belt is hooked with a jade belt, and the thirteen straps are attached to the belt, which is also decorative. The official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were the most ornate and majestic to wear.
When he came out of the household, Xu Qing couldn't wait to put on a purple robe, and the examiner Wailang praised Xu Qing's spirit with a smile. At this time, the passing officials were not in a hurry as passers-by passed. After seeing Xu Qing, they hurriedly came over to salute and shouted an adult. Xu Qing took care of them at first, but later, he directly ignored them, you say hello to you, and I will go my way. But Xu Qing found that this was better, the greeting was not nervous, and Xu Qing did not waste time.
After a while, it went viral in Shangshu Province that a twenty-year-old purple-robed official came, and his future was limitless. There was a lot of discussion, and naturally they were envious, and finally someone inquired, that is, the new Xuanwu Gate guard, the emperor's canonized General Yunlu. Oh, isn't that Bo Xu Qing of Luonan County? Isn't it the first talent in Chang'an, the first person in today's literary world, Xu Qing. γ
How did he become a general?
Who said that Xu Qing is still a doctor of Yin Qingguanglu, isn't it also a civilian? Uncle Xu is called a civil and military all-rounder!
The examiner Wai Lang had already left, and Xu Qing didn't know that others were talking about him, so he still wore this purple robe, stepped on the outer eight characters, and swaggered through the market. The outer eight characters are official steps. In fact, Xu Qing didn't deliberately swagger through the market, just because this palace was too big, he didn't know how to get out!
Yes, find someone to ask, but when others saw him from afar, they turned their heads and left, or they lowered their heads and pondered, Xu Qing was afraid of embarrassment, so he didn't ask. Finally, he found a guard who could not move, asked for directions, and went out through a small door next to the prisoner. Xu Qing used to walk Shunyimen, and it was far to the south of Xu Qing's out, so Xu Qing wanted to go to Xun Xue'er and their Buzheng Fang, and he still had to walk a little bit of the street.
Think about it, what is the situation of a person walking on the street who is about the same as the governor of the province? Unlike later generations, we ordinary people can't remember who the governor is, but this Tang Dynasty has costumes to show class, so there is no need to remember it. Purple was the color of the real nobles in the Tang Dynasty, and it was only a very popular minister who could wear purple.
Xu Qing walked down the street in purple clothes, with all kinds of strange and majestic ornaments, the scene was simple. Everywhere Xu Qing went, no one dared to speak, only dared to walk with his head down, and the small merchants and vendors along the way immediately packed up their things and walked away. The fangding who was patrolling in the fang immediately made a posture of holding his chest up and raising his head, and the fang was kneeling at the door of the fang to greet him.
Chang'an is such a high-ranking official, but there are few people walking on the street, who doesn't have a sedan chair and carriage? Feeling this feeling of being on top, Xu Qing couldn't mention how happy he was, but in the end, he still recruited a carriage and found Xun Xue'er and the others. After changing into civilian clothes, Xu Qing became a little ordinary person again, holding a few wives, and kissing each of them beautifully.
"Let's go and see our industry!"
Xu Qing's hotel is in Yanshoufang, next to the West Market, and there is also a small braised shop. But Xu Qing didn't know that now these two small industries have already become predators who occupy one-third of the street between Yanshoufang and Guangdefang, running restaurants, opening pawnshops, money exchange, cloth, and groceries, so the shop signs have a "Xu Ji" word, and the street of Yanshoufang has become a small market run by Xu Qing's family. However, Yanshoufang is a place to live, and you can't set up a stage outside the house to sell goods.
Buzheng Fang to Yanshou Fang, but just a corner.
Xu Ji can continue to run it in Yanshoufang, and it is getting more and more popular, not only because of Xu Qing. What's more, because several grandfathers in the court, as well as other powerful people, like to come here for a stroll. In particular, Xu Ji's immortal brewing and stewed at the beginning have become a pastime for dignitaries and nobles. And if the little people want to eat, then they have to go to another family. With the care of your grandfathers, no one dares to spread the faΓ§ade of Xu Ji, and since its opening, there has not even been a drunken trouble.
Of course, the people of the Cheng family must also be eliminated.
"Brother Xu, this is all our family?" Huang Shimei's sharp eyes saw Xu Ji on the doors of each store, so she asked Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was hesitant instead: "Well, uh, ah, yes......"
Huang Shimei snorted, turned her head and asked, "Xiaoyue, do you know if these are our family's industries?" β
Xiao Yue smiled and said: "Of course it is, young master, haven't you read all the letters and newspapers sent by Chang'an before, why don't you know?" β
Xu Qing smiled awkwardly, turned around and dismounted. The women also quickly dismounted, Xiao Yue pointed to the front, it was the location of the old shop of Xianren Brew and Braised Boil, except for the New Year's decorations that had not been removed, the other places were exactly the same as before Xu Qing left.
Huang Shimei stepped forward and stepped into the old immortal brewing shop. This is, there is a person who stopped inside, looking at the appearance, it is the junior that Xu Qing knows. These days, he has helped Xun Fang to run Xu Ji bigger and bigger, but he is still staying here as a young man running the hall here in Xu Ji Immortal Brewing. He said politely to Huang Shimei at this time: "This young lady, our immortal brew is sold out today, and it is going to close......
"But it's only been less than an hour after noon?" Huang Shimei was surprised, she asked suspiciously: "Hey, man, do you think I'm a woman and deliberately don't sell my wine?" β
Xiao San smiled, said how dare he, glanced at the person behind Huang Shimei, and was immediately shocked.
"Husband, ma'am!"
