Generally speaking, you don't have to wear a crown to wear regular clothes, you can change it to a hairpin, and hosta and wooden hairpin are the most common in the Taoist gate, and the material determines the price.

Then there is the Taoist robe, which is not the Taoist priest's robe, but an extremely popular kind of civilian clothing, from the Son of Heaven to the Shishu, all regard the Taoist robe as one of the main clothes worn daily.

The shape of the robe is: straight collar, placket, right side, large sleeves, collar inlaid with collars, slits on both sides, connected with a dark pendulum, the dark hem with three pleats or no pleats, tied with a tie, worn with silk tape, cloth thin belt or large belt. In the former Wei Dynasty, the Taoist robe was already very popular, almost the standard for scholars, because the scholars knew a lot of truth, the world called it "Taoist robe", but it has nothing to do with Taoism.

Before the Great Xuan, the general trend of the robe was that the two sleeves continued to widen, and the large and long sleeves were favored by people, and by the end of the Great Wei Dynasty, the "big sleeves" of the robe developed to the point of some exaggeration.

In the earliest days, the robe was long and shoe-length, the sleeves were small but a few feet, and the back of the robe gradually shortened and the sleeves gradually increased, and the short was over the knee.

In other words, the large sleeves of the robe are exaggerated, and when they are handed over, the soles of the sleeves can be stacked on the upper of the shoes.

When Daxuan won the world and Taoism defeated Confucianism, he made changes to the Taoist robe, first of all, the wide sleeves were changed to narrow sleeves, and then the length of the clothes was also slightly adjusted to facilitate action.

The price of the robe is also determined by the material of the garment.

Finally, there are shoes, when the former dynasty of the Great Wei Dynasty, the shoes are extremely shallow, not more than an inch. Up to now, the track is very deep, and the mouth is almost open.

The so-called "Odor" is the prosthetic foot. In ancient times, there was a torture called "slashing", in which the feet of the prisoner were cut off, so there was an idiom "the lowly and the expensive", which means that there were too many people who were "killed", resulting in cheaper shoes and more expensive prosthetic feet.

So today's shoes are somewhat similar to boots, with more materials and higher prices, but the most important factor in determining the price is the material.

Qi Xuansu entered a ready-to-wear shop called "Su Ji".

The three walls list hairpins, robes, and shoes at a glance.

"What does this guest want?" The owner of the shop, a woman, was standing behind the counter and asked on her own initiative.

Qi Xuansu said: "I plan to buy a regular suit, clothes, crowns, and shoes. ”

The proprietress had a smile on her face, pointed to the various hairpins on the shelves behind her, and asked, "I don't know what material the hairpins the guest wants?" Recently, the more popular is the hosta, this black jade dragon-shaped hairpin, as long as twelve yuan Taiping money, how does the inn feel? ”

Only 12 yuan of Taiping money? It seems that the proprietress 's "as long" is extraordinarily different, Qi Xuansu complained in his heart.

However, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said noncommittently: "Will the dragon form be too ostentatious?" Or Molong. Is there anything else? ”

This is a very reasonable reason, although the Daomen slaughtered the dragon, but the imperial court because of the inheritance of part of the old system of the previous dynasty, or in many places to respect the dragon, plus the great Xuan advocating the color of Xuanhei, this kind of hairpin is nothing in Yujing, but it is easy to commit taboos in the imperial capital.

The proprietress didn't think much about it, and stretched out her hand to point to another quaint ink hosta: "What about this one?" Whether it is Yujing, Dijing, or Wang Ting, Loulan, will not be taboo, but also should be this dynasty water virtue Xuanse, the disadvantage is that it is too bland, some mediocre, as long as ten yuan Taiping money. ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "That's it." ”

Then there is the robe, which is the big head.

is the so-called silk satin, silk, thin light can be transmitted, so that it is shiny; Luo, light; silk, soft and uniform and delicate texture; Satin, with clear veins and exquisite weaving.

The material of the robe is mainly silk and satin, and generally speaking, the material of clothing such as ayara is the material preferred by women. A man wearing a looming dress is really not beautiful.

Qi Xuansu picked out a dark cyan satin robe, which was suitable for winter wear, and cost thirty yuan of Taiping money. There are also corresponding bottoms and middle clothes, which cost ten yuan of Taiping money.

Qi Xuansu chose a pair of black satin silver-edged square-toed cloud shoes, all of which were made of genuine silver thread, and the shoes were decorated with broken jade, which cost fifteen yuan of Taiping money.

Qi Xuansu bought another "gun cover" for carrying handcuffs, which was more exquisite than the one issued by Tiangang Hall, five yuan of Taiping money.

In addition, there are folding fans, but considering the current season, Qi Xuansu is not in a hurry to buy such things.

This body adds up, it will cost seventy yuan of Taiping money, if it weren't for the fact that Qi Xuansu had just received the silver, he would really be reluctant to squander it like this.

After Qi Xuansu paid, the proprietress packed the clothes and asked intimately, "Do you want a cloak for the guest officer?" They are all real styles, with one-piece hoods, as long as forty yuan of Taiping money. ”

Qi Xuansu took the package and politely refused: "Forget the cloak, I won't need it for the time being." ”

After Qi Xuansu left this ready-to-wear shop, he went to a jade shop not far away and spent 30 yuan to buy a jade pendant in good condition.

In this regard, Qi Xuansu did not feel sorry for Taiping money, because in addition to Buddhism's preference for gold and precious stones, Taoism and Confucianism are very partial to all kinds of jade, so jade pendants are stable in price and very valuable, and when they are short of money, they can be sold at a discount.

In this way, Qi Xuansu spent a full hundred yuan of Taiping money, and there were only two hundred Taiping dollars left.

Now Qi Xuansu somewhat understands why Zhang Yuelu said that the money is not enough, and for the sake of the word "decent", there is really too much money to spend. If you buy another spiritual object that suits you, you will often need hundreds or thousands of peace money, and even the four sacrificial wine Taoists will be stretched.

Qi Xuansu returned home with new clothes, simply boiled a pot of white porridge, and fell asleep.

The next day is the October 15th Xia Yuan Festival, that is, the birthday of the water official, and Jinque and Jiutang will organize various sacrificial activities, but Qi Xuansu is off today, so he doesn't have to participate.

He didn't get up until noon, changed into the regular clothes he had just bought, hosta hairpin, white middle coat, narrow-sleeved dark cyan robe, satin cloud shoes, and then wore a jade pendant, which made his whole person look new.

When it was time for Shen, Qi Xuansu, who had packed up, left the house, but as soon as he went out, he met Cui Daogu.

It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, Qi Xuansu changed into new clothes, Cui Daogu almost didn't recognize it, and said in surprise: "Tianyuan, I haven't seen you for two months, are you developed?" ”

"Aunt Cui laughed." Qi Xuansu said, "It's Tiangangtang's case silver hair that has come down, and he has plenty of money, so he bought himself a suit." ”

Tiangangtang is not a Qingping Society, all income is above board, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

Cui Daogu looked Qi Xuansu up and down, and quipped: "Men know that they take the initiative to clean up and dress themselves, and most of them have a favorite girl." Tianyuan, you tell you the truth, which girl is it? Is it a colleague you met in Tiangangtang? ”

Qi Xuansu waved his hand again and again: "There is nothing to do, today is the Xia Yuan Festival, and there is a social interaction between friends." ”

Cui Daogu smiled: "Since that's the case, then go quickly, I also have something." ”

Qi Xuansu's master Qi Haoran was a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist back then, Cui Daogu and Qi Haoran were equals, of course, they were not general, they were a five-grade Taoist back then, and now they have been promoted to a four-grade wine Taoist, serving in the Duzhitang, even if Qi Xuansu is promoted to a six-grade Taoist, he has to shout "Master Cui", just because of the relationship in his early years, he is called "Aunt Cui".

After Cui Daogu left, Qi Xuansu hailed a sheep cart and went to Taishangfang.

The distance between the lower eight squares and the upper eight squares is really not short, plus today is the Xia Yuan Festival, people come and go on Shangqing Street and Yuqing Street, and there are even lanterns hung on both sides of the street, so even if it is a sheep cart, it took more than an hour to reach the east gate of Taishangfang.

As soon as Qi Xuansu got off the sheep cart, he saw Zhang Yuelu walking out of the east gate.

Today's Zhang Yuelu also changed into a regular clothes, but very conservative, the upper body is a sky blue waist-length placket jacket, the buttons are buttoned to the neck, it can be described as tight, the bottom is a plain white skirt, the skirt hangs down to the shoes, only the round-toed shoes protrude out of the skirt, and the cover is a blue and white armor. Because she has never been married, she has never coiled her hair, let alone her head full of pearls, but is simply tied up with a wooden hairpin.

If this is in the Great Jin Dynasty, Zhang Yuelu's dress can only be regarded as ordinary, the reason why it is conservative is because in the previous Great Wei Dynasty, the rise of mental science, replacing science, no longer blindly destroying people's desires, so the world became open.

In the last years of the Great Wei Dynasty, it developed to the extreme.

It is not strange for men to wear women's clothes, lip fat and facial medicine, red silk bundle hair, red and purple bright colors, and even a golden hairpin and jade hairpin on their heads, wearing a woman's red and purple skirt. There is a poem: "Those who are dressed in women's clothes are all readers." ”

Women no longer bind their feet, dared to wear clogs, and wore more daring outfits, developing the "main waist" of underwear, similar in appearance to the waistcoat, with the opening backwards, nailed with a row of buttons or ties to fix it, forming an obvious waist, and knowing how to highlight the figure. Especially in the last years of the Great Wei Dynasty, it was more common for women to wear close-fitting underwear outside, and there were bold women who did not wear middle clothes, and deliberately opened the neckline of the outer garment to expose the main waist.

When the Great Xuan Imperial Court replaced the Great Wei, this trend was slightly restricted, at least the trend of men wearing women's clothes was stopped, but they still did not pay attention to etiquette and defense. Although women do not have the saying of "fashionable makeup", the trend is also very changeable, the length of the blouse and skirt is often degraded, and the style of clothing is also narrow and wide. Quartet costumes, all imitate the imperial capital.

Nowadays, the emperor is popular in the gown, with a straight collar and a placket, two armpit slits, short clothes up to the waist, and the elderly over the knees. Many women do not wear middle clothes, only the main waist, and the outer skirt is covered, which will expose a piece of white greasy on the chest, which is quite a grand legacy.

In this atmosphere, although Zhang Yuelu's dress is elegant and simple, it is suspected of being conservative.

However, Qi Xuansu was not surprised by this situation, in fact, with his understanding of Zhang Yuelu, he even thought that Zhang Yuelu would wear men's clothes, which is also one of today's trends, after all, many women's clothes are too cumbersome, and it is not as convenient as men's clothes with short clothes when they travel on horseback or fight with people. When they went to Wuge Mountain, Zhang Yuelu and Mu Yan were both dressed in modified men's clothes, and now they are just conservative, which is already very good.
