Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

It's not a big deal that the princess and son-in-law are at odds, but it's a big deal for the son to stab his husband with a sword.They just got married, and the son-in-law was a student of the Imperial College before, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and they all felt that the royal family was bullying others.

Li Chengfeng was anxious but he had nothing to do. After all, as a foreigner, it was as difficult as heaven to really want to intervene in the court.But Xie Zhao is still studying in the Imperial College in name, although after getting married, in order to avoid suspicion and make friends with scholars, he seldom goes to class.But Li Chengfeng, the Guozijian Jijiu, was still his teacher, so he followed this point and visited with a cheeky face.

Now Xie Zhao lives in the consort's mansion as usual, and the door of the consort's mansion is closed at this time, probably at the master's order, outsiders will not be allowed to see him.Looking at the majestic mansion, Li Chengfeng couldn't help sighing, no wonder that kid Chen Zhao sharpened his head and wanted to be a son-in-law. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of a son-in-law is on par with that of an earl, and a general can command a soldier.One must know that Li Chengfeng has worked so hard to do so many things, and there are many people who criticize him for being an earl. His conditions are too good.

Knowing the identity of the visitor, the concierge didn't dare to delay, this era still pays attention to the heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers, the teacher is different from others, it is not good to stop at the door after all.Sure enough, after a while, Li Chengfeng was invited in.

When he entered the hall, Xie Zhao was already waiting at the door.Seeing Li Chengfeng, he first saluted respectfully, "Now there are rumors outside, it's really hard for me to show up in this state, I haven't gone to greet you, I hope the teacher will forgive you."

He still had that polite look, but compared to before, Xie Zhao was significantly thinner, and his complexion was particularly pale. It seemed that Chun Yin really did not attack lightly.Li Chengfeng quickly said: "It's okay, it's windy outside, you'd better go inside and rest."

After the two sat down, Li Chengfeng thought about it, and said with a hint of restraint: "I see that you haven't been to the Imperial College for a long time, and I heard that you are not feeling well, so I came to ask."

Xie Zhao smiled wryly: "It doesn't have to be like this. I have heard from the princess that you and her are old acquaintances in the palace. The emperor has entrusted you with the full power of Chen Zhao's case. I think we both know about the wine offering. I want to ask What, students must know everything.”

With a shy smile, Li Chengfeng said a little embarrassedly: "Then I won't beat around the bush. I heard that you had a dispute with the princess. What's going on?"

Xie Zhao was silent for a while, before he said tiredly: "It's the student's fault. The princess was just emotionally excited and hurt me by mistake, but the rumors spread outside, so I didn't expect it." Then he sighed: "The princess is married to I was wronged, I thought, she is lively, going out to play will make her feel better, but I didn't expect to meet Chen Zhao."

"..." Come on, everything is clear now, since the truth came out, Chen Zhao was released, and the empress dowager was asked to go, but Chun Yin forced her to die, so the matter had to be let go.

After Chen Zhaoren was released, his family was not safe.Chen Baihu knew what Chen's mother had done, and had driven her back to her mother's home in the countryside.He devoted himself to making up for his eldest son, and almost all the remaining money in the family was sent to Chen Xing.Chen Xiaomei was domineering before and offended a group of her peers, so now she dare not go out and shed tears every day.Chen Zhao himself is not very capable. He was dragged around like a marionette by his mother in the first half of his life. He had no choice but to study hard in the Imperial College all day long.In the end, he actually read something out, won the first place in the exam several times in a row, and wrote a few sour poems, which were full of nostalgia. The ignorant boudoir girl compared him to Liu Yongyanshu.

"To tell you the truth, I have actually met Chun Yin a long time ago. At that time, she and Chen Zhao went out to play in the street, and the students accidentally saw her. From then on, I..." Xie Zhao said with a face of shame, "I tried my best Reporting your name was originally intended to win love, but now you are doing it yourself, no wonder others."

Hearing what he said, Li Chengfeng hated iron and steel: "Nonsense! Your son-in-law was hand-picked by the emperor and queen mother because of your family's character and knowledge. How can there be such a thing as stealing love! Do you like Chunyin?" It's a good thing, since we're married, we should live a good life, so there's nothing to feel guilty about!"

Xie Zhao was still hesitant to speak, Li Chengfeng rolled his eyes: "There are no outsiders here, so if you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell it quickly, maybe..." He became alert all of a sudden, and his eyes couldn't help looking at the other party. aim.

Wei Wei was stunned for a while, but as a man, Xie Zhao came to his senses almost immediately, his handsome face was flushed, and he waved his hands again and again: "No, it's not about that, it's..." He gritted his teeth, took off the net towel.

In the mid-Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of men’s braids gradually disappeared, and ordinary people tied their hair into three or two strands at the back of their heads.Those with status will tie their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, and then use a net towel to fix their hair.Li Chengfeng watched Xie Zhao take off his hat and exposed his hair in a daze, wondering what this kid was doing, and then took a closer look, it was quite normal, what's wrong?

"I'm sorry," Xie Zhao said, and then under Li Chengfeng's shocked gaze, he untied the rope and let his hair loose.You must know that this kind of behavior was extremely rude in ancient times, and Li Chengfeng never thought that the other party would do such a thing.But looking at it, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Xie Zhao's hair, isn't it... a little less?

He was a little uncertain, so he glanced carefully. Although it was not bald enough, the scalp could indeed be vaguely seen from the swirl of the son-in-law's hair. "Are you not yet 20 years old!?" Li Chengfeng was shocked, there are no programmers and designers in this world, how could it be possible to be bald so early!Then he noticed that Xie Zhao's hair was knotted and frighteningly shiny, and broke down, "Why are you applying so much hair oil?"

"I, I want to fix the bun and make it look more." Xie Zhao was a little at a loss. His hair was not thick when he was young, but he couldn't be called bald either. His classmates even joked about this, and he also laugh it off.But after getting married, Chun Yin suddenly said one day, "Why do you have so little hair?" After that, he became concerned, thinking about how to grow hair day and night, took a lot of medicine, and was restless all day long, but a lot of hair fell out , in desperation can only be fixed with ointment.

And Chunyin herself is also very angry, she herself is reluctant about this marriage, and now the person she likes is getting better and better, but her current husband is still in danger of balding.After meeting her ex by chance, she broke out completely and accidentally stabbed Xie Zhao during the quarrel.

Li Chengfeng sighed, what's the matter, and asked the son-in-law: "Does your father have thinning hair?"

Xie Zhao shook his head, thinking so, this time the selection of the queen mother-in-law will be personally checked, naturally there will be no possibility of genetic diseases.

Since it's not hereditary, it's probably much easier to deal with. After inquiring about the eating habits of the other party, I found that Xie Zhao usually likes to eat some meat, or spicy food like cornel.The work and rest are also very irregular, and I often stay up late to study, which is probably simple seborrheic alopecia. In this era of less pollution, there are not many external factors, but it is still easy to treat.

After carefully instructing him on the precautions, Li Chengfeng comforted him: "You are still young, take care of your hair regularly, don't comb your hair too tightly, and don't use hair oil or anything. I have a recipe there, and I will make you a piece of sulfur soap later. , just wash your hair with that for a while."

Although he didn't understand what sulfur soap was, Xie Zhao accepted it gratefully, and respectfully sent the teacher away.

After walking out from the son-in-law's mansion, Li Chengfeng smiled coldly.No matter what, he has been in the officialdom for so many years. Although he has never played any tricks, he still understands these little tricks.Why didn't he believe that Princess Qiao would meet Chen Zhao when she was young?If there is no ghost in it, he absolutely does not believe it.

Sure enough, after explaining to Zhu Houcong, after investigation, the old eunuch who had helped Chen Zhao before was not dead, and cooperated with Chen Zhao to buy the nanny next to Chunyin to speak ill of the son-in-law day and night.With ironclad evidence in front of the princess, she finally saw Chen Zhao's true face. After learning from the pain, she apologized to Xie Zhao and went back home to live a good life.And Chen Zhao was also sentenced to exile for spying on the palace, and everyone was happy.

However, although the Princess Consort's side has stopped making noise for the time being, the rumors among the people have not subsided.A long time ago, Chen Zhao hired a group of people to add more details to write the storybook, and he deserved it.

But maybe this incident is too legendary, but the story is getting worse and worse, and the story between the bald son-in-law and the arrogant princess has been widely spread.

The imperial court really wanted to take care of it, but this move was a bit self-inflicted. Hearing that the Queen Mother Jiang was going to be mad, Li Chengfeng felt that this could not go on like this.

Although the Ming Dynasty also had literary prisons, etc., it was actually a dynasty that opened its doors.Otherwise, masters of Chinese studies like Wang Yangming and Gu Yanwu would not have appeared, and three of the four great classics were published at this time.Associations among literati are even more common, or in other words, they are too free, so that deformed products like the Donglin Party appear.

What Li Chengfeng has to do is to attract people's attention and make everyone look away from those vulgar books.At this time, it was the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the novels had developed to a certain stage, but generally they were relatively rough, either plagiarizing Ronggeng, or pornographic and violent hunting novels, in short, they were still dominated by low-level literati.In terms of newspapers, the progress was even slower. The official newspaper publishing system in the Ming Dynasty was roughly the same as that in the Song Dynasty.The contents are all documents and government news agreed to be released by the emperor and the cabinet, and are only reported to the localities.

Seriously, who would want to see this?In short, at this time, the imperial court's propaganda work could no longer keep up with the growing entertainment needs of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Based on this point, Li Chengfeng wrote a very long memorial.Taking the story of the princess son-in-law being rumored as an example, asking the court to run a newspaper to enrich the leisure life of the people also plays a guiding role.

As soon as the memorial was handed over, before the emperor said anything, the Minister of Rites jumped out first.This person is the one who helped Zhao Wenhua speak out and accused Li Chengfeng in public.After returning to Beijing for such a long time, Li Chengfeng also inquired. This Minister of Rites is called Yan Song, and he only got up after he went far to the southeast.

I heard that Zhang Cong, the first assistant, has always admired Yan Song, and he himself has a docile personality and knows how to agree with the emperor.It happened that Yan Song had enough knowledge and qualifications, so he was promoted.

Yan Song was originally from the south of the Yangtze River. After taking a high position, he took the initiative to contact coastal officials, so he naturally became the leader of the Southeast Party, and his primary goal was to overthrow Li Chengfeng and restore the previous smuggling days.

Seeing him speak, Li Chengfeng couldn't help squinting his eyes, Yan Song... This person is more famous than Jiajing to some extent, it seems that this matter can't be good again.

The author has something to say: Regarding the marriage of Princess Yongchun, this matter is written to lead to the following.What's more-there are actually such people in history.

"Wanli Yehuobian" records, "In the sixth year of Jiajing, Princess Yongchun will descend, and the Ministry of Rites will choose a marriage. Yu Chenzhao, the guard of Shiyongqing, is the third, and his relatives will be the son-in-law. Listen to the election official Yu Demin, Zou Zhao's father was a warrior, his family was ill, and his mother married a concubine again, so he can't be elected as the master. Li Zhe, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and Zou Demin made lies, please arrest him and punish him.

It is true that Xie Zhao is a little bald. At that time, there was a rumor that the capital was "ten funny".At the end of it, it said: "It's so funny, the son-in-law will change to the present world." It's just a smile to thank the imperial edict.But he is still a very good person, and he has experienced some things in the end, and he is also very affectionate with the princess.

Although the princesses of the Ming Dynasty did not need to marry each other, their lives were not very good.To put it bluntly, their marriages were often not under the control of ministers, or even the emperor and queen mother, but in the hands of the eunuchs, especially in the late Ming Dynasty.

for example.Wanli's younger sister, Princess Yongning, married the princess to the eldest son of the Liang family because the eunuch Feng Bao, the supervisor of ceremonies, took money from wealthy households in Beijing and spoke well in front of the empress dowager.On the day of worship, he vomited blood, and Feng Bao said it was a good omen, but no one dared to refute it.

Yongning married someone in such a muddle-headed way, and not long after, the son-in-law died, and she herself died in depression.

In fact, I have always felt that the Ming Dynasty's system of selecting queens and concubines from small households did more harm than good.

Although the possibility of foreign relatives intervening in politics was eliminated, the only people the emperor could rely on in the court were the factory guards. Once Wei Zhongxian died during the Chongzhen period, the emperor was surrounded by civil officials.

Secondly, due to their identity and knowledge, husband and wife have almost no common language. Except for the early Ming Dynasty, there are very few examples of queens playing a positive role.
