This lesson is about etiquette, how to distinguish the identity of a person through clothing.
In this era of ubiquitous hierarchies, in order to show their identity and express their specialness, the scholars racked their brains in clothing. After hundreds of years of hard work, it has now reached its highest peak. All kinds of costumes are cumbersome and exquisite, all of which are closely related to status and identity.
This teaching was taught very carefully, and it took half an hour to talk about the clothes that a noble man liked to wear. By the time she announced her break, Zhang Qi's feet were numb, and she felt tired.
This is still good, Zhang Qi secretly thought: When it comes to calligraphy, painting and embroidery classes, what can you do standing like this? Fortunately, in those aspects, she seems to be not badly talented, and the memories of her previous life are engraved in her bones.
Turning his head sideways, Zhang Qi looked at the women who were chattering and laughing together during the break. With just one look, she withdrew her gaze and turned to walk out.
Outside the school, there is a large garden, the garden is full of trees, it is early spring, and the leaves of the trees have long since withered. Zhang Qi walked aimlessly, and inadvertently, several voices came into her ears.
"I heard that Twelve Lang is going to pick a sister-in-law to give to Xiao Mo as a concubine?"
"Shhhh You don't know, do you? Yesterday, the eldest lady scolded Twelve Lang and Zhang Xiao, saying that this kind of thing should never be mentioned again! After a pause, the voice was low, and he said seriously: "I heard that the eldest lady was very angry, and she made Zhang Xiao kneel for two hours at that time, and many people pleaded, but she ignored them...... Some people say that the eldest lady does not like Xiao Shi Molang. โ
"How is that possible!" The previous voice exclaimed, "The eldest lady obviously values him very much. โ
"yes. Everyone couldn't understand how the eldest lady could start such a big fire with such a trivial matter. โ
The eldest lady is not allowed? That's nice! Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
The second class is a drawing class. Since Gaozu ascended the throne, the royal family and nobles have paid special attention to and liked calligraphy, painting and music. Gaozu himself and the new emperor who is now on the throne are even more talented in this area. Therefore, what this painting class teaches is that even if you have no talent for painting and the things you paint are full of craftsmanship, you still have to have a considerable level of appreciation.
Standing in the back, Zhang Qi tilted his head and listened with relish. When teaching and assigning homework, she was barely enough, and her right hand was lightly tracing in the void.
This time, the teacher's surname is Yuan, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old man, his skin is fair, with water-cut eyes, although he looks like a woman, he is the beautiful and jade face that he likes nowadays, and his eyes are like spring. Zhang Qi could see that many sisters-in-law in the school had a good impression of him.
After teaching for a while, he glanced at Zhang Qi, who was still drawing lightly in the air, and said lightly: "Zhang Qi? โ
Zhang Qi hurriedly stood up straight and responded, "Yes." โ
"How do you learn to draw? Someone came, gave Ah Qi a handsome, and put it in her corner. โ
As soon as his voice fell, a sister-in-law stood out in the pile of concubines, and she screamed: "This is not good, how can her identity as Zhang Qi be as usable as me?" โ
The sister-in-law's voice fell, and Yuan Jiaoxi glanced at it lightly. His glance was not very majestic, but somehow, the girl immediately lowered her head and did not dare to say anything.
Yuan Jiaoxi glanced at her, then at the sisters-in-law in the school, and still said in a light tone: "In my class, she must have a few!" As for what happens to the other teachings, it's none of my business. Zhang Qi, come and get pen and paper. โ
In a buzzing sound, Zhang Qi lowered his head and walked quietly towards the teaching.
After taking three steps, a calf stretched out in the aisle ahead.
It stopped in the aisle that Zhang Qi had to pass through. That's not the point, the point is, it's above board. According to the convention, if Zhang Qi wanted to, he should fall to the ground before touching it. In other words, she had to be obediently knocked down by it, and she couldn't touch the noble leg that had stopped her......
It's still a disengagement.
Zhang Qi glanced at the foot and thought secretly: If I mix it now, you won't trouble me again, then I'll just endure it once. It's a pity that, according to this morning's observation, these concubines have been bullied too much by the concubines, and some of them have no heart and want to vent their anger on her. And she is the only illegitimate daughter in this Zhang mansion who has been picked up, and she is the only one who can be bullied by Zhengdaguang. She endured it now, just afraid that just a few concubines could kill her alive and dead!
She lowered her head, her eyebrows were gentle, the corners of her mouth were lightly raised, her skirt was elegant, and when she passed the horizontal calf, Zhang Qilian moved lightly, flutteringly, and indifferently - stepped over!
The buzz stopped.
Everyone looked back at Zhang Qi at the same time.
Yuan Jiaoxi also looked at her.
In dozens of eyes, Zhang Qi still lowered her eyebrows, quiet and well-behaved, at this moment, everyone thought at the same time: She should be unintentional, she herself doesn't know, such behavior is a provocation for the concubine whose identity is higher than her.
When Zhang Qi walked in front of Yuan Jiaoxi, the sister-in-law, who was so angry that her face was flushed, stood up!
At this time, Zhang Qizheng lowered his head and honestly took over the four treasures of the study.
Zhang Qi didn't see it, but Yuan Jiaoxi was angry with the sister-in-law. At that moment, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said coldly and seriously: "Zhang Yi? โ
Staring at Zhang Yi, who was still glaring at Zhang Qi angrily and was about to have a seizure, Yuan Jiaoxi said lightly: "I said, in my schoolwork, Zhang Qi must have a few!" You should know what it means, but you still do something unreasonable! What do you say you should do about this? โ
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yi, who originally felt that he had lost face, shouted loudly: "You are just a teacher, why are you yelling at me?" โ
As soon as she said this, there was a low laugh in the circle of concubines. Zhang Jin turned around and kindly reminded: "Ah Yan, Yuan Lang is the sister-in-law of the Jiankang Yuan family...... He came to teach and was obsessed with my Zhang's special wine! "He is a teacher, and what he wants is not wealth, but wine!
As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Yi's flushed face quickly turned blue. She looked at Yuan Jiaoxi dumbfounded, and soon her eyes turned red. Without waiting for her to stammer, Yuan Jiaoxi waved his sleeves and said lightly: "That's it, sit down." โ
"Yes, yes."
Yuan Jiaoxi turned his head and looked at Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi, who was standing in front of him, still lowered his eyebrows, but between his eyebrows and eyes, he was too demure. It seems that the scene just now is like a spring breeze blowing through to her...... Whether it's Zhang Yi's seizure or his identity! This calmness and composure is even better than all her sisters!
Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, grace has been more important than talent. In the early Wei and Jin dynasties, there were a few celebrities, who were ugly in appearance and not talented, and they were born, although they were born in famous families, they were just concubines. But just by virtue of their outstanding demeanor, they can become a generation of celebrities.
It's really rare for the embarrassing sister-in-law in front of her to have such a demeanor...... If the Zhang family is willing to let go of prejudices and train her as a concubine, it may not be possible to produce a romantic character like Xie Daoyun! and then marry her to a high-ranking official from a poor family as a wife, which will also become a beautiful conversation.
It's a pity that Zhang is afraid that he doesn't have that heart and vision.
