Chapter 112: Jackie Chan
The sun rose in the east, a ray of dawn entered through the window, and Ding Wenfei was still lazily lying on the bed and didn't want to get up. At this time, there were a few knocks on the door, and then, Ding Wenfei and his mother pushed open the door and lifted the curtain to come in, urging Ding Wenfei to get up quickly, freshen up, eat and send him to the ninth uncle to study and go to school.
"Oh...... Oh" Ding Wenfei opened his eyes, sat up, and yawned.
The bedroom is relatively spacious, except for a sour branch wood shelf bed, and a six-fold sour branch wood screen in front of the bed. On one side of the screen, there is a sour branch desk, several sour branch chairs, and a large sour branch wardrobe that is enough to be one person high.
Ding Wenfei's ancestor was originally a wealthy local family, with good land and a servant. When Ding Wenfei was born, his grandfather went to the city to do business, and on the way home, he was robbed by bandits through the 24 mountains and rode the wind, and died, and his grandmother also passed away soon due to excessive grief.
When Ding Wenfei was five years old, his father Ding Shoushan sailed to Waifu to do business, encountered a thunderstorm and typhoon, and died in the sea. The Ding family guards the ancestral family business, and only hopes to raise his son Ding Wenfei to adulthood, hoping that his son will become a dragon and revive the family's reputation.
Ding Wenfei was on the bed, only to hear the sound of weaving outside the bedroom again. Last night, Ding Wenfei's mother and Erniang had been thinking about how to solve the problem of how to provide him with the cost of going to school in the future, and they slept very late. Unexpectedly, when he woke up early in the morning, his mother and second mother were already weaving in front of the loom, and Ding Wenfei's heart couldn't help but become heavy.
Last night, he heard his mother and second mother say in private: This year's harvest in the dry land is almost gone, and the whole family can only rely on weaving cloth and raising silkworms to barely make a living.
"Yilang, Erniang helped you cook egg powder, get up and eat it." Although Erniang is from Waifu, it has been three years since she married into the Ding family, and she is no different from an authentic local in her speech and deeds. At home, Ding has always regarded her as a sister, so she is also called like a family, and she has always called Ding Wenfei Ichiro or Fei'er.
"That's it." Ding Wenfei responded on the bed and lifted the quilt. On the morning of late autumn, the wind was cold and the dew was cold, Ding Wenfei only wore a pair of calf nose pants all over his body, and when he got into bed, he couldn't help but shiver.
These calf pants are shaped like briefs, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with holes on both sides that cover the crotch of the buttocks.
A person's clothing can see through the quality of a person and standardize a person's appearance and mentality. Sima Xiangru, a great writer of the Han Dynasty, once left a story about wearing calf nose pants.
According to the "Historical Records", Sima Xiangru, a great writer in the Han Dynasty, once "wore his own calf nose pants, mixed with Bao Yong, and washed utensils in the city". When Sima Xiangru was down, he went to SC Linqiong, fell in love with Zhuo Wenjun, who had just lost his husband, and eloped with her Zhuo Wenjun as the daughter of a rich family, and his father Zhuo Wangsun was angry and refused to admit this family business. Later, Sima Xiang, like Zhuo Wenjun, returned to Linqiong due to economic distress, opened a small wine shop, and lived by selling wine. Zhuo Wenjun was the shopkeeper, Sima Xiangru took off his coat, and in front of the public, he only wore a pair of calf nose pants, that is, a pair of briefs, and went in and out, making the city full of wind and rain, which made Zhuo Wangsun feel very embarrassed, so he had to admit this family business and accompanied a lot of property.
Later, Sima Xiangru was appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and stayed in Chang'an for many years, often writing fu for the concubines of the harem, while Zhuo Wenjun was alone, guarding the empty curtain alone. Five years later, Sima Xiangru brought her a letter from home, a total of thirteen words, which were: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand." Zhuo Wenjun saw it, sad and speechless. Because there is not a single word "100 million" in the numbers in this letter, it shows that Sima Xiangru has no intention of her!
This story illustrates that a person who is inappropriate in his clothes will also have problems with his quality.
Ding Wenfei took a pair of pants from the bedside shelf, and at the time of the Tang Dynasty, although men mainly wore round-necked robes, there were also pleats inside. Not only men wear pleated hakama, but also women. This hakama is the trousers, which are mainly developed under the influence of the Hu people. However, unlike today's pants, the hakama is very loose, especially the two trouser tubes, which are very fat, so they are also called large-mouth pants. The top that matches the hakama is pleated, but it is made to be tight. These two kinds of hakama were worn together to form hakama, which was originally used for military travel to facilitate marching, and later gradually became a common clothing for the common people.
However, the hakama worn by Datang women is different from that of men, the biggest difference is that the hakama pants worn by women are tight and narrow, and it is said that they are not crotch, but open crotch, but there is a tie at the crotch to facilitate toilet relief, as for underwear, Datang women do not have it.
Ding Wenfei put on the pleated hakama, picked up a rope about three feet long, and tied the knee of the trouser tube tightly, so that it was very convenient to ride a horse or walk. But this rope also has a name, and it is called a hakama.
After wearing the pleated hakama, he wore knee pants again. Knee pants are also the shin clothes in Hanfu, and the shin clothes are also called leg clothes, which are leg clothes from the knee to the ankles. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the shin shirt was worn close to the body, but at this time it had been changed to knee pants, but it was worn in addition to the hakama.
Tie your knee pants over your hakama pants and put on your socks again. Finally, there is the round-necked robe, leather belt, tulle head, and black leather boots. It took a bag of cigarettes to wear this time.
Ding Wenfei dressed up and walked out of the room to the hall, and saw that Erniang, who was in charge of the food at home, had already brought the egg powder.
Erniang smiled and said to him: "Go brush your teeth and wash your face first, and then come to eat." ”
Ding Wenfei said hello to Erniang and the others, and then turned his head to go to the yard to wash his face and brush his teeth. As soon as he passed, Erniang had already diligently helped him carry a bucket of cool well water from the well, and brought him a face towel and a toothbrush.
Ding Wenfei took the toothbrush, took a little green salt from the small wooden box next to him and sprinkled it on it, muttered twice with saliva, and then began to brush his teeth carefully.
In the Tang Dynasty, most of the common people had the habit of brushing their teeth, and brushing their teeth was only one or two pennies, but ordinary people could not afford to brush their teeth. In the Tang Dynasty, salt was more expensive than rice, and the bucket of salt was more than 100 yuan, and if it was the best green salt, the price would be higher. However, the Ding family was also wealthy in their early years, and they had this habit, and they still maintained the habit of brushing their teeth with green salt.
Ding Wenfei carefully brushed his teeth and returned to the hall, where everyone in the family had arrived, and only his mother was still reciting scriptures in the house.
In the past, when my father was still there, the women in the family were not allowed to eat in the hall, but had to eat in the house. However, now that the Ding family is in the middle of the road, there is only one man left in the family, Ding Wenfei, and he no longer abides by those past etiquette and family rules.
"Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." For the Ding family, where even eating is a problem now, there is no need to abide by many rules. It is said that the etiquette is not inferior to the common people, and it is good for ordinary people to make a living, so what about those etiquettes.
