Chapter Ninety-Three: Clothes Are Identity
The Hu people who frequently appeared in the wine shop sounded the alarm for Zhen Qian, this is not an era of making a lot of money in a muffled voice, a sentence of the county order can make Wanguan's family wealth a thing of the past, in a powerful society, only status and strength can survive.
Zhen Qian drank the wine, ate all the hairy crabs in front of him, and put his chopsticks into Xiaozhu and Xiaomei's grilled fish pot.
A grass carp weighing more than four catties was washed and scaled, split in half, marinated with spices for half an hour, and then slowly roasted on a charcoal fire, and sprinkled with some cumin powder from time to time. After the fish is baked, it will be steamed in a pan, and the mixed oil must be put in the pot (half of lard and half of vegetable oil), the oil has been prepared with pepper and dogwood (Datang has not yet introduced peppers from the Americas, so it can only be replaced by dogwood), onion ginger garlic bean paste and onion seasoning, white and slender bean sprouts, yellow and clear tofu skin, green vegetables, a big pot full of mouthwatering.
Most of the spices in the Tang Dynasty were transported from the Silk Road in the Western Regions to various places, and the price was frighteningly expensive, and it was difficult for a wealthy family to enjoy.
It is said that Zhuge grilled fish has been popular in the Tang Dynasty, and after hearing about the origin of grilled fish, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was full of praise and gave the name of "Zhuge grilled fish".
"Mellow and delicious, fresh and fresh!"
The maidservant girl can't eat at the same table as the master, but Zhen Qian has no scruples, not only pulling Xiaozhu and Xiaomei to eat with him, but also inventing a small dining table to place on the warm kang and eat together.
The second daughter was still a little restrained at first, but after a long time, she found that Zhen Qian didn't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority, so she half-pushed and half-accompanied Zhen Qian to dine together.
Eating alone is lonely and lonely, although Xiaozhu and Xiaomei are not beauties, but after getting along for a long time, they also have feelings for each other, and there is a trace of ambiguity in the conversation between the three of them.
Xiaozhu grinned: "Is Lang Jun talking about grilled fish or people?" ”
Zhen Qian sandwiched a piece of fish meat and stuffed it into Xiaozhu's mouth, "You know that you still say, can't you stop your mouth?" ”
Xiaomei pursed her mouth dissatisfied, and a piece of fish meat was immediately handed over: "How can we miss Xiaomei in our show?" ”
Xiaozhu took a mouthful, Xiaomei took a bite, Zhen Qian was very busy, and unconsciously hugged the second daughter into his arms while laughing. The plump waist of the second daughter is slightly plump, and the thin waist that is unbearable is difficult to find in the Tang Dynasty, which is very different from the aesthetic style of later generations.
The Tang Dynasty was based on the aesthetic orientation of plump and rich, and if you look at the female images expressed in Tang Dynasty paintings, sculptures, terracotta figurines and various works of art, the most prominent impression left on people must be "plump, plump, rich, and warm". Plump and rich is plump, fat, rich and bright; Enthusiastic posture is to wear a revealing and confident expression. From the description of Wu Zetian in the history books, it can also be inferred that she won the status of "Mei Niang" with her wide forehead, plump cheeks, round and overlapping neck and rich image, thus laying the foundation for her to further approach the center of power.
This aesthetic orientation is an all-round aesthetic concept, which embodies a powerful, open and compatible cultural vision. For example, the Tang people love peonies, and the flower shape of peonies is noble and plump. The images of horses created by the Tang people are also full of horses with round hips. The most influential Yanti calligraphy of the Tang Dynasty is even more fat, solemn and vigorous. If you look at it a little wider, you will find that Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was the largest capital city in the world at that time, the road was the widest, the palace was the highest and magnificent, and China at that time was almost the center of the world's yearning. All this reflects the vigor and high degree of self-confidence that a nation has entered a high degree of maturity and is in the most vigorous stage of vitality.
The Tang people advocate and are fascinated by this kind of spirit, strength and beauty of opening, which conveys to us a kind of atmosphere of the times--- enthusiastic, pioneering and positive.
No matter what kind of aesthetic point of view, it is closely related to the background of this era, whether it is plump or fair, it is just a reflection of the atmosphere of the times, which has nothing to do with Zhen Qian, and has nothing to do with the Tang people.
"The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace!"
This sentence is just a memory sealed in Zhen Qian's mind, in the past, the king of Chu Ling was a good man with a thin waist, so the ministers of the king of Ling all took a meal as a festival, coerced and then brought, and then supported the wall and then rose, it sounded so funny and ridiculous.
"If there is something good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom!"
This is also the truth, Zhen Qian likes long hair, white skin, clear eyes, a tall nose bridge, a cherry mouth, and a melon seed face, tall and well-proportioned figure, everyone has their own beauty standards in their eyes, showy, subtle, warm, enchanting, charming, etc., the second daughter inadvertently caters to Zhen Qian's point of view, thinking that this is what Zhen Qian's woman should do.
The three of them were already hugging each other between the laughter, and the candle flame didn't know when it was extinguished, leaving only Jiao Yan and a heavy panting.
When the morning sun shone in through the screen window, Zhen Qian was lying on the kang alone, with a trace of fragrance left in his hand, and the second daughter beside him had disappeared.
The alarm clock that didn't go to work rang out loudly, and there was a slight crackling bonfire and Xiaomei's call from the fireplace: "Lang Jun is awake!" ”
The madness of the night drained Zhen Qian's whole body, and he turned over lazily, ready to continue to make up for sleep: "Lang Jun...... Zhao Yuanwai and Han Yuanwai have already come, and they are drinking tea in the living room and waiting for Lang Jun!" ”
Zhen Qianyu sat up from the bed, "Change my clothes!" ”
The costumes of the Tang Dynasty were very complicated, and when he first arrived in the Tang Dynasty, Zhen Qian couldn't even comb his long hair well, let alone dress.
Xiaomei waited for Zhen Qian to put on a robe, "robe" refers to a jacket with a lining, which can be flocculent in winter, and "shirt" is a single coat, both of which are the most representative coats of the Tang Dynasty. Round neck, narrow sleeves, right side, neckline and placket each have a buckle loop, the length is generally between the calf and the foot, from the inside to the outside at least three layers, solemn occasions even as many as a dozen layers, no one to serve really can not wear.
In ancient times, dressing up was related to identity, who wore what clothes, what style of clothes to wear on what occasion, there are clear regulations, wearing the wrong one is not as simple as a few spanking butts, sometimes it is possible to lose your head.
After Xiaomei held it upside down for a while, the image of a young man in the Tang Dynasty finally appeared, with a black head, a light gray robe, black leather warm boots, a leather belt around the waist, jade pendants, and a lot of sachet ornaments, until Xiaomei's eyes showed a satisfied luster, and half an hour had passed.
"It's such a hassle to get dressed every day......!"
It's not that Zhen Qian didn't design some clothes for himself in the future, but these clothes can only be worn in the bedroom, if they are worn out to meet relatives and friends, they will definitely be treated as crazy, and it is light to be killed.
When Zhen Qian designed a bikini with only three strips of cloth, the second women's football team screamed all night, and finally under Zhen Qian's "Yinwei", she barely hid in the quilt to show Zhen Qian, and almost died of shame.
