Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 358 Congratulations

It was already noon when Zhu Pingan returned to the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion from Xiyuan. Not long after Zhu Pingan returned to the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion, an officer of the Ritual System and Cleaning Department under the Ministry of Rites sent a set of Jinshi crown uniforms to the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion. .

   This set of Jinshi Crown Clothes is for wearing when the Jinluan passes on the throne tomorrow. It mainly consists of five parts, the crown, gown, clothing, belt, shoes, and of course there are many other small accessories.

Li Shu led the bun girl and a few old mothers to help Zhu Pingan clean up this set of Jinshi crown clothes in Zhu Ping's room. This set of Jinshi crown clothes has a lot of small accessories. Zhu Pingan didn't even know what all these gadgets were for.

   When the little maid of Baozi was arranging this set of Jinshi crown uniforms, she kept chattering nonstop. Everything she saw was fresh and surprising.

  First of all, the crown of Jinshi’s crown uniform, that is, the hat. The hat sent by the Ministry of Rites is finely crafted and the style is a black gauze hat, but there are some subtle differences in specifics. This black gauze hat is a cap frame made of rattan silk, with a low front and a high rear, painted with black lacquer, and covered with black gauze. The top of the black gauze cap is slightly curved, generally speaking, it is flat, with a wing inserted on each side, the wing is narrow and rectangular, about fifteen or six centimeters long, slightly curved upwards, and there is a soap thread tied on the top of the long wing Made of sash.

  In addition, there are hairpin flowers dyed emerald on this black gauze hat, branches and leaves made of brass dyed emerald, and flowers made of red velvet. There are six dyed emerald hairpins on the Wusha hat, and the hairpins are placed on the Wusha hat, making the Wusha hat more festive.

  In addition, on the right side where the front is low and the rear is high, there is a small copper-cast exquisite signboard with the words "Enrong Banquet" written on it.

"This hat is so weird. Why does it have such long wings? If two people walk together, the hard wings won't pierce people." Baozi's little maid picked up the black gauze hat in amazement, with a big mouth .

   "It's just you stupid girl who thinks it's weird, how many people dream of wanting a top." Li Shu rolled her eyes, stretched out her slender hand and flicked the little girl's forehead lightly.

   "It hurts, Miss~" Baozi's little maid, chubby, covered her forehead with her hands, looked at her lady with aggrieved eyes, and said, "It's just weird, why do you want such long wings?"

   "This black gauze hat is used by the emperor to supervise the officials." Zhu Pingan took the black gauze hat from Baozi's little maid and explained.

"Ah?" Baozi's little maid opened her mouth even wider when she heard the words, her face was full of disbelief, how could the black gauze hat be the emperor's supervisor of all officials? It's used by the emperor to supervise all the officials, but my son-in-law is deceiving people.

  Li Shu was also a little curious. She only knew that the black gauze hat was an official hat. After the founding of the country, Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang issued an imperial decree: All civil and military officials must wear black gauze hats when they go to work. After that, the black gauze cap became an official hat, and ordinary people were not allowed to wear it, and offenders were severely punished. In addition, Jinshi who have not obtained an official position after the palace examination can also wear a black gauze hat. That's about all Li Shu knew. Zhu Ping'an said that the black hat was used by the emperor to supervise all the officials. She really didn't know.

"Did you see these two long wings?" Zhu Pingan said, holding the black gauze cap in his hand, shaking it slightly, and then the two long wings on the black gauze cap shook up and down, driving the two soap ribbons It's fluttering, it's very obvious.

   "I see." Baozi's little maid was puzzled.

   "The Wusha hat originally didn't have these two long wings, but it was added by the emperor's decree." Zhu Pingan continued.

   "So what, it can't speak, how does the emperor supervise you officials?" Baozi's little maid asked a hundred thousand why.

   "It can talk." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly.

   "Liar~" Baozi's little maid pursed her lips.

"One time when the emperor was in the court, he found that when he was spitting and flying around, the courtiers below were whispering and chatting. The emperor was very angry, so he asked people to add these two long wings to the black gauze hat. After having these two long wings, officials only need to move their heads slightly when they wear the black gauze hat." Zhu Pingan shook the black gauze hat in his hand again, pointed to the two long wings and said, "This The two long wings will vibrate up and down, left and right, and the officials will whisper to each other, and this long wing will warn the emperor. In addition, if the officials whisper to each other, if the long wings on their hats touch, the hats will probably be knocked off. Sitting in the Golden Luan Hall The emperor on the dragon chair is condescending, so he can see clearly, and accurately punish officials who are not serious about going to court. Therefore, this black gauze hat is used by the emperor to supervise all officials."

   "Oh~~" Baozi's little maid suddenly realized, and looked at Zhu Pingan with a pair of big eyes admiringly, thinking that my uncle is so powerful and knows a lot.

  Li Shu's eyes also lit up, but it disappeared for a moment, and then she looked proud and disdainful of the little peacock.

   After sorting out the black gauze hat, put it on the upper left of the desk, so that it will be convenient to wear when passing the group in the Golden Palace tomorrow morning.

   "Grandpa, what is this for?"

  In this set of Jinshi crown uniforms, there is also a wat board made of locust wood, more than 50 centimeters long. When Baozi's little maid picked up this locust wood wat board, Baozi's face puffed up again.

   "This is the office supplies for the court, notebook." Zhu Pingan glanced at it and replied casually.

   "Notebook?" Baozi's little maid shook her head with a bulging face, "I don't understand, what do you mean by notebook?"

Uh

   Forgot that there is no such thing as a notebook in Daming.

"The notebook means a small book with a pen for recording. This wat board is a tool for officials when they go to court. Officials hold this wat board with both hands and write down the orders and decrees of the emperor on it, or prepare for the court. Write what you say on this wat board, so you don’t forget about it.” Zhu Pingan briefly explained the function of the wat board in ancient words.

   The little maid of Baozi gave Zhu Ping'an more admiration.

The next thing to sort out is the Jinshi robe, which is similar to the official uniform of officials. It is a Jinshi robe made of dark blue silk, with a round neck and wide sleeves. The edges of the collar and cuffs are made of blue silk. , so that Jinshi robes look spiritual and not monotonous.

  The robe also gave a leather belt dyed dark blue, very long, with black leather horns on both ends. Zhu Pingan tried to fasten the belt, and after it was fastened, it still hung down a lot at the back, like two tails.

   There is also a white unlined garment, which is used for the interior.

  Of course, there are also a pair of leather boots and a pair of silk linen socks. These boots and socks are based on the style of officials going to court.

  After tidying up, Li Shu asked Baozi's little maid to help Zhu Pingan change into this Jinshi crown uniform for a try. After Zhu Ping'an finished dressing, the eyes of the girls in the room lit up. As expected, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Zhu Ping'an felt that he came out immediately after putting on this set of clothes.

   But the only problem is that the Jinshi robe on the outside and the unlined clothes inside are a little too big. It is estimated that the people in the Ministry of Rites did not expect such a young person to be a Jinshi.

   Li Shu asked the old lady to call the embroiderer she brought from home, and helped Zhu Pingan measure the size on the spot, and compared the size of the clothes, so she worked overtime to modify Zhu Ping's Jinshi robes.

   It took less than an hour, and this Jinshi robe was changed to a perfect fit.

   After Zhu Ping put on the clothes again, Li Shu looked at them for a while, and then told Zhu Ping solemnly that she found a problem. The only flaw in Zhu Ping's Jinshi robes was the lack of a sachet or jade pendant.

  Ten minutes later, Zhu Ping'an's Jinshi robe had a sachet embroidered with a fat duck, supplemented by a jade pendant.

Although the fat duck on the sachet is a bit weird, the color of the sachet and the shape of the jade pendant are still very suitable for this Jinshi uniform. In addition, this Jinshi robe is also thanks to Li Shu who let Xiuniang modify it properly, otherwise It would be inappropriate for me to pass on the group of people in the Golden Palace tomorrow.

   In order to thank, Zhu Pingan gave Li Shu the golden rooster that Emperor Jiajing borrowed flowers to present to Buddha last morning.

   "Who cares~" Li Shu looked at the golden rooster that Zhu Pingan handed over, and curled her lips arrogantly.

   Uh, well, Zhu Ping clicked his tongue and was about to take the golden rooster back, but he didn't want to be snatched away by Li Shu.

Uh

  Zhu Ping'an looked at Li Shu in surprise.

"What are you looking at? I remembered. The sachet and jade pendant I gave you just now are very expensive. You have to pay off your debt with a golden rooster." Li Shu's pretty face was slightly red, but her tone was very natural and arrogant. Full of taste, a debt repayment, the way it should be.
