Ji Yan and Mei Yuning came to the clothing market, it was April, and it was the spring and summer handover of the year, so there were many people in Beijing who came to buy new clothes, and the market was very lively.

Ji Yan had actually prepared for himself to go to Nanyang a long time ago, so he brought Mei Yuning here, in fact, the purpose was to choose clothes for Mei Yuning.

This main purpose is in this garment.

The costumes of the Ming Dynasty people are actually very distinctive, because before Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains were ruled by the Mongols for nearly a hundred years, and the Yanyun region was ruled by ethnic minorities for nearly four hundred years.

Changing customs, many traditional Han habits in the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, some were forced by the government, and some were imperceptibly influenced by the people, forming some unique clothing customs.

Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country in the name of "expelling the Tatars and restoring China."

After the unification of China, he did implement many measures to eliminate the assimilation brought by the Hu people to the Central Plains culture.

According to the tradition of the Han nationality, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, reformulated the clothing system in accordance with the principle of "inheriting the Zhou and Han dynasties and taking the Tang and Song dynasties from the bottom".

For example, women's clothing is most common with a collar on the upper body and a pleated skirt underneath.

Especially pleats, the people of the Ming Dynasty, both men and women, were particularly keen to wear skirts with pleats, such as the word "pleated skirt" originated in the Ming Dynasty.

Women are accustomed to wearing cloaks and shawls on their back shoulders, which are also imitation styles of the Song and Tang dynasties.

However, these are not the focus of Ji Yan, nor is it the purpose of his trip.

He took Mei Yuning to look at this store, and asked in that store, but he never bought anything.

As the sun sets, the shops in the bazaar are about to close.

Mei Yuning said a little impatiently: "You've been shopping here for a long time, and you can't see anything, what are you looking for?" ”

Ji Yan smiled evilly: "The store in front, go in and take a look, if there is no suitable one, forget it today." ”

Ji Yan actually went to other shops under the guise of a cover, and his real destination at the beginning was this tailor shop.

It's not really a long-established or well-known shop.

However, Ji Yan has a habit of being too lazy to change something when he thinks of something, and it can also be said that he is lazy and has advanced cancer.

The first time he made clothes in the Ming Dynasty, he found this shop.

The result made him quite satisfied, and the boss's craftsmanship was good.

So every time he wanted to cut clothes after that, he came here.

Gradually, I can't get acquainted with the shopkeeper here.

The Nanyang suit he prepared for himself was also cut by the shopkeeper himself.

Ji Yan led Mei Yuning into the store with a smile, and then he signaled to the boss, don't continue to do other people's business today.

The shopkeeper of the tailor's shop had gotten Ji Yan's words before, and knew that Ji Yan was going to do things in the store.

Therefore, he looked at Ji Yan and made a look, so he put up the door panel, although it was not closed, but it also signaled to other customers that the place was ready to close, and if there is something to do, please be early tomorrow.

After a while, I heard a man and a woman in the store start such an ambiguous conversation.

"Is that appropriate?"

"What's out of place? We've known each other for more than a year, and we've come to this point. ”

"There are a lot of people out there, and I'm a little embarrassed."

"It's okay, it's almost closed now, and there aren't many people outside. Besides, even if there are people outside, they have nothing to do with us, there is also a curtain, I will close it, let's move quietly, it's okay. ”

"Are you alright?"

"Really, you trust me."

"Okay...... Then I'll listen to you...... I've really never tried anything like this......"

"It's okay, there's going to be a first time for everything, and I'm sure you'll love it after the initial adaptation period."

"Oh...... I believe you this time...... Oops......"

"What's wrong?"

"It's a bit big."

"No, I've measured it, and the size should be appropriate."

"Have you measured? What amount to use? ”

"Visually, how else can you measure? If you use your hands, wouldn't that be something else? ”

"With your hands, you think beautifully."

"You say it's too big, are you saying above or below?"

"Upper."

"Which part exactly?"

"Where else could it be? Just talk about it......"

"Oh, come on...... Come...... Let me make a comparison...... Well...... It does seem to be a little bigger, why don't I make it smaller? ”

"Can you still make it smaller?"

"What's so hard about that? If you can be big, you can be small...... Come on, you try again. ”

"Oh...... This time it's better. ”

"Try the following again? Is it okay to do the following? ”

"You wait...... Below...... Well...... Row below. ”

"Okay, that's good, how about it, I didn't lie to you, isn't it comfortable......"

"Well, yes, that's pretty good...... But I still don't think I'm embarrassed. ”

"It's okay, you're getting used to it. When you go to Nanyang, when you have the chance, I mean, when the two of us are alone together, you just like that, okay? ”

"Hmm...... Okay, it's up to you. ”

Ji Yan This is the first time he has heard Mei Yuning speak to himself in this tone.

The four words "It's up to you" really made his bones soft when he heard it.

At this time, Mei Yuning was wearing men's clothes, which was not surprising.

The strange thing is that this men's clothing has no skirt and is a separate pants suit, so Mei Yuning is probably wearing a pair of trousers now, a top similar to a long-sleeved T-shirt, but the top is still with a cross-neckline.

There is also a small clip at the neckline, which closes the neckline that was originally a little larger.

Mei Yuning was dressed in such a seemingly ordinary body, but her face was flushed, she didn't dare to look directly, she didn't know where to put her hands, and she didn't know whether to stand upright or cover her body.

In fact, Mei Yuning is not to blame for this.

It's not that she can't let go of her twists and turns, and she's not this kind of loving character.

It's that this kind of dress is too trendy and avant-garde for the women of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason for this is that there are no pants that are covered by a skirt or hem of the blouse.

Because such pants will show the lines of women's legs, it is very difficult for ancient people to accept.

How many years is this kind of dress probably ahead of the whole era?

Not particularly much.

It's probably more than 500 years.

Women on Earth began to change their skirts and wear trousers alone, a history that is much shorter than most people think.

As of today, it is less than 100 years old.

Still thanks to the Second World War, a large number of men went to the battlefield, and a large number of female workers were used in the factories.

Working in the workshop, wearing skirts was too much of a hindrance, so the world had to gradually accept that women wore pants alone.

Therefore, for Mei Yuning, a native of the Ming Dynasty, even trying it on in an unmanned tailor shop is a great challenge.

Mei Yuning went home with the clothes that Ji Yan had ordered for her.

However, she didn't really plan to wear it in the future, she just felt that this was Ji Yan's intention, and it was not good not to accept it.

Ji Yan looked at Mei Yuning's departing back, and thought proudly: Take your time, the road to training has just begun.

That night, Ji Yan returned home and was just sitting down and about to change clothes, when he heard a knock on the door outside the house.

Ruan Xiaoyi came, and brought his daughter-in-law Song Qingqing, the two of them were not far apart, but tonight it was unprecedented that the two of them visited the door together, and they didn't bring anyone behind.

The two of them entered the door together, and after Ji Yan closed the door, Song Qingqing first said a deep gift of ten thousand blessings.

Then I heard Song Qingqing speak with a crying voice first: "Brother Ji, why do you say I am so miserable." Marrying into their family is a day of blessing that has not been enjoyed, and they have worked hard to manage their husband's family, carefully, respectfully, for fear that one will not be careful and make her husband dissatisfied. But just like that, he still wants to run out, what do you say I should do if I am a woman......"

As soon as he heard the style and content of this speech, Ji Yan felt that he was watching some bloody family ethics TV series, but he couldn't change the channel now, and he had to talk to the characters in it.

However, Ji Yan is clear in his heart, Ruan Xiaoyi is straightforward and straightforward, although sometimes he likes to complain a little, but he has something to say in his heart.

His daughter-in-law is not ordinary, she has a clever heart, and she says and does everything in one set.

Although she said this today, she definitely thought about it and thought it clearly, and it was definitely not like an ordinary idle woman in the market, who would only speak and express it like this.

Ji Yan quietly listened to Song Qingqing's cry and looked at Ruan Xiaoyi, who was like a stuffy gourd.

It feels a little big.
