Chapter 12: Sleepiness Comes and Delivers Pillows
Before the story continues, let's talk about what the scene was like.
On one street, three carriages can pass in parallel.
Zhang An is from a modern day and habitually rides a horse to the right and walks slowly.
As for the other party's carriage, it drove in the middle of the road.
It is said that judging from the positions of both sides, no one is in anyone's way.
But the troublemakers like to play pomp and show, and they are not inferior, so that Zhang An is angry.
Of course, the point is definitely not because the flag hanging on the other party's carriage is marked with the large size of Rongguo Mansion.
In fact, in a sense, this is also Zhang An's own trouble.
As the old saying goes: Respect the clothes first, then the people!
What does that mean?
In ancient times, if you didn't know each other, how could you quickly distinguish each other's status?
Look at the dress first, then look at the dress!
A person's dress represents the other's family background to some extent.
After all, if the family is poor, they will definitely be reluctant to buy clothes with good materials.
If the family has no power and power, they will definitely not dare to wear clothes that exceed the regulations of the imperial court, otherwise, it will be a crime!
Of course, this is not absolute, what if someone has a private visit to the micro-service, or the tiger falls on the plain, and the dragon swims in the shallows or something?
Then look at the dress.
For example, the hair is not neatly combed, there is a jade pendant or sachet on the body, whether the face has been professionally groomed, etc., can distinguish the rich and poor of the owner's family.
Here's an example!
I don't know if you've watched the TV series Water Margin.
I remember that there was a scene when Gao Yu became a captain.
When the new official took office, before meeting the people under him, Gao Yu was still asking someone to cut his hair.
After the incident, Gao Yu was still not at ease, so he deliberately looked left and right in the mirror, for fear that which hair would not be combed and exposed, and the skin on his face would not be well maintained and not solemn and majestic enough, and he would lose face in front of his subordinates.
(The above is purely personal nonsense, please do not bring it into reality)
It can be seen that ancient people still attached great importance to these aspects and paid attention to them, which is the same as the meaning of modern women dressing up before going out.
Let's get back to the point.
When he woke up in the palace this morning, the palace maid who accompanied him had prepared new clothes and accessories, and had to wait for him to freshen up, but he politely refused on the spot.
It's not that he's hypocritical and doesn't know how to enjoy.
The main reason is that modern thinking still deeply affects him, and he is not used to it or reacts to it for a while.
(Actually, if someone else spends the night in the palace, it is estimated that it is about the same)
Do you think, you lived in a poor home when you were a child, and you were fortunate enough to be invited to a strange rich and noble house as a guest, are you honestly afraid?
The host is very welcoming, and you are talking and laughing so much that you get drunk and have to stay overnight at the host's house.
You think it's rude and a little embarrassing.
How can you be embarrassed to wear high-end clothes from the master's family, and let the host's maid serve?
They are all face-saving people, he must shirk it!
Big men, and they are not very familiar with combing unfamiliar long hair, and it is understandable that their appearance is not neat and tidy.
Although the Emperor Taishang and the emperor were a little uncomfortable when they met, considering his ability to come from outside the world, he didn't mention this in person, for fear of hurting his face.
Didn't you see that among the things that were rewarded later, there were a lot of silk and satin, and they were all considered for him.
turned around and sent the slave and maid over, and naturally someone reminded him privately, why not do it.
But who would have thought that on the way home, Zhang An bumped into a layman who only looked at superficial kung fu.
If he had changed into a brocade dress handed by the palace maid and was dressed up by a professional, Xing'er would definitely not dare to talk much after seeing it, maybe he would smile at it, of course, there would be no such thing.
It's a pity that Zhang An, a modern person, doesn't know the reason for all this, but it doesn't prevent him from using the topic to play.
Who makes the main quest necessary?
"Heh, Third Master, I have a happy event today, I don't want to spoil my interest, and I care about a little person like you."
Zhang An glanced contemptuously at the carriage behind the little guy, and continued: "As long as you kneel on the ground and kowtow to the third master now, saying that you have no eyes, the third master will treat what you just said as a fart!" ”
Xing'er, the entourage of Jia Lian, the concubine of the big house of Rongguo Mansion, is also secretly the person of Lian's second grandmother, and has a bit of status among the small servants.
On weekdays, relying on the power of his own master and the Guogong Mansion, he is arrogant and domineering to the powerless ordinary people outside, which is not comfortable.
Today, the wife and grandmother Lian who sent Jia Lian went out to run errands and returned home, and met a civilian walking alone on a horse on the road.
When she first heard Zhang An's words, Xing'er thought that she had bumped into a powerful lord in the family, so she was afraid that she was not dressed up in disguise to play.
But if you look closely, hey, the coarse cloth shirt is still patched, there are no accessories on the body, and even the hair is not well cared for.
In addition, the skin is not white enough and rough, so it is obvious that he is not the master raised by the rich and noble.
Even the children of military lords who are mixed in the army are not so unsophisticated!
Only the horse under him is not bad, but it doesn't mean anything.
I think this person should be a little guy in a house, or the kind that can't be spoiled.
Listening to what he said just now, I estimated that I had just been rewarded by my master and allowed to ride a horse out on business, which was learning from the old man to play prestige outside!
Xing'er has done this in the past and knows this situation very well.
Otherwise, how could the other party not recognize the flag on the carriage behind him?
I'm afraid I don't even know the words!
That's it, what can be the big deal?
Not to mention, if there is some ability in the house, the uniforms of the servants in the house are at least made of cotton.
After all, the subordinate also represents the face of the main family in a sense, and if he dresses too poorly, he will lose his share in the house when he goes out.
After some research, Xing'er knew what to expect.
Hehe, in this case, even if there is a conflict with the other party, it is the other party who suffers!
If you pretend not to look at the object, you deserve to be unlucky!
Thinking like this, Xing'er suddenly became energetic, and even the carriage stopped.
"Yo, it's all on this, and you're still pretending to be with your master?"
"Say you're blind, you still don't admit it, you don't even know the flag of my Rongguo Mansion?"
"Grandpa will teach you to be good today, don't think about running before you learn to walk, be careful of falling a big heel!"
"Now, obediently slap yourself in the mouth for grandpa, otherwise grandpa can tolerate you, and the brand of Rongguo Mansion can't tolerate you kid in front of you!"
Hey, sure enough, the system was prescient.
If you can, don't beep!
Look, I kindly gave the other party a chance, but others didn't use it!
Zhang An was about to step forward to teach the other party a lesson, but words came from the carriage.
"Xing'er, you're still talking so much nonsense outside, hurry up and clear the way for your aunt and grandmother, there are still things in the house waiting for your aunt and grandmother to go back to take care of it."
"If you meet someone who doesn't know what to do, you all can't eat rice?"
"Break your aunt's leg and throw it aside, don't miss your aunt's business!"
Hey, Zhang An almost laughed on the spot!
It's really sleepy, people give pillows!
It's not like we're taking the initiative to cause trouble!
"Alas, second grandma, just look at it!"
Xing'er said that, he waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, give this kid some color to see, don't fall into the majesty of our Rongguo Mansion!" ”
The conflict was about to break out, and Zhang An also got off the horse, and he couldn't fight people on the horse with his bare hands.
