Chapter 34 The county lord came overnight

Li Zhi silently read in his mouth, this person is also very interesting, with him by his side, not to mention the basic safety guarantee, the main thing is that there is a person around him who can be called with confidence.

When I opened the package, there was a handkerchief woven of silk fiber, which was actually embroidered with my body number, two mandarin ducks that were not fine, and their necks were floating on a piece of water.

A letter was wrapped in a handkerchief, and a brocade fabric men's round neck, narrow sleeves, tight-fitting robes, and a veil hat.

The robe is embroidered with delicate bird and grass patterns, combined with regular gold and silver thread decorations, which not only highlights the original graceful and luxurious, rich and casual charm of Tang costumes, but also makes this set of Tang costumes more structured.

The Tang Dynasty was recognized as an open dynasty by all dynasties and was the heyday of China's feudal society, which reached a historical peak in both ideology and material production.

During that period, due to the westerly wind, the clothing of the Chinese people became more and more diversified, and most of the men in the Tang Dynasty were talented and suave.

What is surprising is that in addition to the fact that the bearded men are not inferior to women because they "have poetry and books in their belly", they also pay attention to their posture, so they cultivate so handsome and elegant.

There is no shortage of young people in the world who like to wear women's clothes, painting their lips and incense, which is a little stinky and beautiful and a little sullen, in contrast, under the trend of men wearing women's clothes, but women like to wear men's clothes, "women are husbands, and husbands are women's ornaments" is a very common thing.

In addition, the phenomenon of mixing men and women in clothing during the Tang Dynasty also influenced other Asian countries, such as Japan in the Nara period, which was deeply influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty in China, and the social custom of men wearing women's clothes and women wearing men's clothes appeared in clothing.

"Manyoshu" records that Emperor Daixing borrowed women's clothes when he was fortunate to visit Yoshino, and there is a song cloud "Ujima, the mountain dynasty wind and cold journey, the teacher's hand clothes should borrow cousin Mao, there is Bejiuer" as evidence.

In fact, during the reign of Emperor Daxing and Emperor Wenwu, the exchange of male and female clothing was not limited to tops, sometimes even underwear had to be worn, and this kind of clothing was the most trendy reflection of the Tang Dynasty in China.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, it was fashionable for women to wear men's clothing, and the masculinization of women's clothing was also one of the manifestations of social openness in the Tang Dynasty.

Correspondingly, men's low-grade and tight-fitting clothing is also popular, which is more borrowed from the popular trend of Hufu, which is far more in line with the little marquis, a person who has traveled through later generations, than the men's clothing of the previous dynasties.

He unfolded the letter, and the Qingqi County Lord's hand-held delicate and slender female calligraphy appeared in front of him, which was different from ordinary calligraphy, and there was a kind of rouge atmosphere like a fairy shadow.

After careful reading, I learned that the handkerchief was learned and woven by the county lord of Qingqi in the morning, when the local weavers were organizing local weavers to weave cashmere silk threads in the courtyard of the county king's mansion, and another craftsman taught her to embroider flowers and birds.

At that time, the handkerchief, different from the later foreign domain to the printed cotton single yarn woven into the thin fabric, but cut from the complete fabric of the square silk, embroidered flower and bird ornament is also the later double-sided embroidery prototype, the real double-sided embroidery began in the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty in the same embroidery process, can embroider the front and back of the image, the pattern is also exquisite.

It's just that the same knitting technique is used in the hands of the beginner Qingqi County Lord, which is particularly rough, but fortunately, he likes the handkerchief that is obviously not delicate, after all, it is embroidered by his beloved, and it contains her deep love.

The letter also mentioned Yang Gaotang's Chang'an City trip, she went to meet with her father who already knew the situation of the two of us, Yang Gaotang must have reported the relationship between the two, although I don't know why, in her opinion, there is another mystery in it.

The county lord's conjecture was similar to Li Zhi's, and at this time he also faintly noticed that it was not simple, but fortunately, the king of Linhuai not only did not mean to obstruct him, but on the contrary, there was a hint of secret promotion, which made the little marquis feel very pleased, even if there were other deep intentions, he could accept it happily.

The county lord of Qingqi will not rush back tonight, and needs to return tomorrow with the more than 30 textile craftsmen recruited by Yang Gaotang in Chang'an City, and the message has already agreed to have dinner together tomorrow.

That whole set of clothing was the most popular style in the upper class of Chang'an City, and the gold and silver thread ornamentation also showed its own expensiveness.

Obviously, the county lord of Qingqi had already prepared a plan for his own man, otherwise in the suburban courtyard far away from Chang'an City, there would not be such clothes that echoed Li Zhi's size.

From this, a wisp of emotion came from his heart, and he could feel the deep friendship of the little county lord from it, and he himself secretly swore that he would never live up to the affectionate love of the county lord's lover.

The gold and silver embroidered robe is really a tight-fitting narrow-sleeved tide dress with long sleeves and large sleeves that is different from the long robes worn by the Tang Dynasty, and it is an unusually expensive thing, in Li Zhi's view, the county lord of Qingqi intends to push himself into the circle of the children of the powerful in Chang'an City.

Naturally, this is by no means out of her dislike of Li Zhi's existing identity, but based on the early acquisition of a series of connections of development momentum in the future, the county lord's good intentions, and the little marquis can deeply appreciate it.

In contrast to this, there is also an ivory folding fan, which was invented in Japan and became popular through trade in the Heian period in 794.

Therefore, in the era before Tang Xuanzong and his predecessors, there was no folding fan at the public level, and at this time, it was only taken out by some people among the descendants of the powerful to show off, and most of them were tributes brought by the first Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty, of course, it was called Ryukyu at that time.

Although the Japanese envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty during the Wu Zetian period was really fortunate to meet Her Majesty the Empress, but before that, there were other people who rushed to come, so the folding fan that appeared at this time was only in the hands of a few powerful people in the current dynasty.

It is not of general significance that the county lord of Qingqi can get this thing, but what can only be possessed by the extreme gentleman in Chang'an City now means that this person is from the level of the core royal family, and the dignity of his status can be seen.

Of course, all this was learned by Li later, and there was no interpretation of the folding fan in the letter of the county lord, and in the eyes of his later generations, the folding fan at the moment was a commonplace object, but it was its ivory material that was rare.

The head yarn hat is also a first-class material, the head is a kind of black cloth with the head, at this time men often wear crowns, scarves, hats, etc., it is the era when the head is prevalent, the style of the head is also rich in changes, and the shape is diverse.

Li Zhi is very glad that the characteristics of the times of his clothing are not the kind of large-sleeved shirts that bring a lot of inconvenience, and relatively bearded robes are fashionable.

However, that kind of wide robe is still very widely used, from the emperor to the hundred officials, and it is necessary to wear it for ceremonial banquets, and even use it as court clothes.

The gift of the county lord of Qingqi made the little marquis happy for a while, but although he loved it very much, he couldn't wear it, and when his mood calmed down, he threw himself into the development of new products.

The paper-making process is not simple at all, and the previous series of drying, soaking, cooking, cleaning, and bleaching processes are not complicated.

The key is to screen out impurities, beat the pulp, and then stir and separate the fibers, and then add the specially developed proportional diluent is the most critical step, and it is also the time when you need to avoid idle people.

At that time, in the evening of two days later, Chang Yubo personally took people to the Li family's compound and took the paper curtain that Uncle Seven had been weaving for the past few days.

Paper curtain is a kind of bitter bamboo produced in Liujian Village and some surrounding mountains, the elder can reach more than two zhang, this kind of bitter bamboo, bamboo shoots are bitter and inedible, but the texture of the bamboo grain is straight, the bone joints are long, the texture is loose, and it is easy to cut into bamboo strips.

The bamboo curtain made of this bamboo lacquer is a necessary tool for fishing paper - paper curtain, it is not perishable, not drafted, and the price is low, the weaving quality of the paper curtain can directly determine the quality of rice paper.

To Li Zhi's surprise, the county lord of Qingqi also followed, and after he missed the dinner the day before, the princess of the county lord's mansion had a premonition that the progress of the rice paper was at a critical time, and she understood that she did not come to affect her lover.

Tonight was different, after learning about the last few processes, she could see the face of rice paper, and she finally couldn't help but run.

"Uncle Seven didn't have a mental breakdown because of rushing to make these paper curtains, right?" Because Li Yi's body was covered with stains all over her body, she just smiled back at the county lord of Qingqi, and the little girl also deeply realized the tense atmosphere at the moment, just standing far away, and did not come up to make trouble.

Seeing him ask, Chang Yubo shook his head with a smile, "Uncle Seventh said that the medicine you configured for him was extremely symptomatic, not only suppressing all kinds of weakness in his body, but also magically rekindling the vitality in his body!" These more than 20 sets of paper curtains are he with the help of the Li family, two consecutive days and two nights to complete, due to the urgency of time, there are only three kinds of turtle pattern, single silk road, double silk road, and other categories will be completed within seven days. ”

"It's hard old man! County Lord, remember to remind me in the future to give a reward to all the subordinates who took the initiative to participate in the Li family compound, and the old man will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the Qingqi County Lord outside the crowd nodded with a smile, and the dozen or so onlookers couldn't help but gasp, this kind of reward is their total income for two years.
