Chapter 357: Spring Festival (Part I)
Ye Kong ran to the tailor shop on Meteor Street, picked up the pre-ordered clothes, and returned home all the way, when he opened the box, the whole person couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The clothes lying in the box are not very ugly, on the contrary, they are very good-styled, with an open blue feather weave and a pale white shirt, which looks elegant and magnificent—a typical patterned feather hakama.
The pattern of feather weaving hakama originated from the Tang costume in the Daxia culture, which was not a Tang costume, but a prosperous clothing style of the Tang Dynasty in ancient times. In ancient times, Bactria was very strong, especially represented by the Tang Dynasty, and its culture radiated throughout Southeast Asia, which also had a deep impact on the 'Cherry Blossom Land'. Their tattooed feather hakama is improved on the basis of Tang costumes, which can be regarded as a subspecies of Tang costumes.
But.......
Ye Kong rummaged through the clothes in the box, and his expression became even more strange.
The pattern of feather hakama is mainly divided into feather weaving, pattern payment, corner belt, hakama, foot bag, crawler, and white fan.
Among them, the number of tattoos represents the degree of attention, which is equivalent to the color in Tang costumes, such as the use of red in the Bactrian culture to celebrate, the use of white for funerals, due to the influence of the Bactria culture - the same is true of 'tattoos', the more it is, the more formal it represents.
Ye Kong counted it, there are a total of 5 patterns on the feather weaving, the most formal level, and it is generally only used when attending engagement banquets, wedding ceremonies, funerals, award ceremonies and other occasions.
"That's a little too 'official', isn't it?" Ye Kong fiddled with the feather weaving suit, and his face twitched a little.
What's more, as the purest tattooed feather hakama, the 'hakama' in its accessories, that is, the pants part, is not a triangle or boxer panties, but a crotch cloth!
In other words, the leaves are bare........
Knock knock!
"Brother, are you dressed? The spring festival starts in the afternoon, so we have to go early. Ye Bai's voice came from outside the door, like the sound of a public execution.
made Ye Kong's expression twitch even more.
"It's coming!"
Ye Kong picked up his clothes with a bitter face, swallowed his saliva, and comforted himself: "It's okay, isn't it just naked....... Anyway, the range of the crotch cloth is also very large, and if there is no accident, it will never go out. ”
Knock knock!
"Brother, hurry up!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
..............
Half an hour later
A young man and woman joined hands and came to the foot of the Wishing Mountain.
The black-haired young man wore the purest tattooed feather hakama, including the crotch cloth, but fortunately, the wind was not strong today, so he did not feel 'cool'.
The black-haired young man was followed by a snow-haired girl, dressed in a similar style of clothing, which was commonly known as 'Wu Fu' in ancient times, and another name was 'Kimono', which is the custom costume of Sakura Lu.
I don't know if it's intentional or not, Ye Bai's kimono is also blue and white as the main color, contrary to the cherry red used by women, and the clothes are decorated with butterflies, with a blue and white background, which looks very elegant. Similarly, Ye Kong's clothes are also dark blue and white, and the two of them walked together, which was simply a set of couple clothes.
The two of them walked on the road, which naturally attracted a lot of attention, Ye Kong didn't like to be watched, and subconsciously reached into his arms, wanting to grope for something-
"Oops, I forgot it was the real world."
Ye Kong secretly smiled bitterly, and wanted to take out his crow mask, until he couldn't touch anything, and then he woke up - this is the real world, not the demon world.
Sometimes, after staying in the Demon Realm World for a long time, many actions have become habits, subtly affecting people, Rao Yiye Kong's temperament, and occasionally make a mistake.
"Forget it, it's rare to be a 'monkey' once."
Ye Kong shook his head, simply gave up resistance, let Ye Bai hold him, and went to the lively festival long street together. It is worth mentioning that the festival street is a temporary street filled with the classic shops of Sheung Shui City.
Some sell handmade shoes, some sell small candy people, and even sell handmade shaved ice, all of whom are residents of the vicinity of Wishing Mountain, who come to make cameo appearances as stall owners during the spring festival.
The owner of the shaved ice stall is an old man with gray hair, who takes this iron scraper, keeps sliding on the huge ice cubes, scrapes off the fine ice chips, and pours sweet sauce on them, and then makes pure handmade shaved ice. At the spring festival, which is approaching the summer, the handmade shaved ice is undoubtedly full of temptation, and for a while, the stalls are crowded with customers.
"Woo~, brother, I want to eat that thing!" Ye Bai wrapped his arm and directly launched the coquettish Dafa, because it was a hugging posture, in Ye Bai's constant shaking, the soft kimono was close to his arm.
Even, Ye Kong could feel that soft touch through his clothes.
"Good, good! I'll buy it for you! ”
"Hee-hee...... I want an extra large amount of shaved ice for two people. ”
"Okay, I see."
Nominally, Ye Kong went to buy shaved ice, but in fact, Ye Bai always wrapped his arm, like a sloth creature, and he couldn't shake it off, so the two of them lined up together.
The slanting sunlight sprinkled from the sky, mixed with the chirping of cicadas and birds in early summer, made the customers who were queuing even hotter, and a trickle of sweat flowed down their foreheads, gradually wetting their clothes, and soon evaporated by the sunlight.
Fortunately, the clothes prepared by Ye Bai are suitable for heat dissipation, judging from Ye Kong's feelings, the open feather weaving suit made his heat dissipate significantly, as well as the crotch cloth below....... Ahem, it's pretty cool anyway.
The tourists queuing up nearby are also dressed in similar attire, some wearing orthodox Tang costumes, some wearing Tang costume subspecies, such as women's kimonos, such as tattooed feather hakama, and a small number of 'classical' enthusiasts, wearing older Han Dynasty costumes - mainly wide robes, and there are no pants inside.
From a certain point of view, they are cooler than Ye Kong.
In any case, their costumes are derived from the Bactrian culture.
After the whole world entered the era of the Federation, the state no longer existed, and the only thing that distinguished the region was the culture that had been passed down from time immemorial. There is no doubt that the Great Xia culture, as the culture with the longest history and the most reproduction, is also the only inheritance that has not been interrupted for 5,000 years, and it is influencing the residents of this land.
The spring festival is an activity to promote culture, and this is also the reason why they wear folk costumes, Ye Bai prefers Tang costume subspecies and kimono, so he has a set for himself and his brother.
The long queue to buy shaved ice gradually became a little crowded, and Ye Kong, out of the intention of protecting his sister, reached out to hug her, and used his body as a cover to prevent others from taking the opportunity to rub oil.
This kind of behavior, Ye Kong learned early in order to protect his sister.
Ye Bai noticed his actions, raised his head and smiled, and took the initiative to lean up.
After a while, the two finally bought an extra-large amount of shaved ice, but Ye Bai asked the boss for two plastic spoons, and gave Ye Kong a spoon easily-
"Brother, let's eat ice together!"
