Chapter six hundred and fourteenth in the dark
"No, we have been busy all day, and there are more important things tomorrow. If Zhao Jinshi is fine here, we will leave." Mr. Mo declined quickly.
Tomorrow's Chuanlu Ceremony is really busy for the Etiquette Department. Mr. Mo said so, the old lady and Mr. Zhu didn't want to stay too much. They packed a few cakes and some good tea, and asked Liu Quan to give them to Mr. Mo.
go out.
As soon as Mr. Mo left, the two of them turned to Zhao Ruxi and said, "Put on your clothes and let's take a look."
Zhao Ruxi naturally had to give it a try. If there was something wrong with her clothes, she could change them in time.
They returned to the backyard, and Zhao Ruxi went to the old lady's bedroom to change into clothes.
The Jinshi official uniform of the Jin Dynasty is blue. Due to the dyeing technology, the blue is not so bright and slightly dull.
She probably didn't want Zhao Ruxi to be too special in the Chuanlu Ceremony and make other Jinshis appear to be her foil, so her whole dress was made of the same fabric as the male Jinshi official uniforms, but the style was women's, simple and elegant, only in
The cuffs and collar are embroidered with cloud patterns, making the whole dress look both elegant and solemn, and extremely grand.
Of course, if Zhao Ruxi is short, petite, or slightly fat, this dress will not look good on her. Especially in front of a group of male Jinshi who are taller than her, she will look completely unimpressive.
But her figure was originally taller than other girls of the same age. In addition, her nutrition has kept up in the past two years, and Zhao Ruxi also practices boxing every day. Her height has grown again, reaching 1.68 meters. Like this
His height is average among modern girls who are generally well-nourished and drink milk since childhood, but in ancient times, he was considered the tallest among women.
With such a figure, coupled with Zhao Ruxi's temperament, her facial features are three-dimensional, her eyes are bright, and her skin is fair. Wearing this slightly dull blue dress reveals her temperament even more.
In addition, the officials of the Ministry of Rites also used clever ideas on the crown.
The three-branch nine-leaf crown of the Jinshi was directly reduced by two-thirds, and the same pattern as the cloth of the same color as the male Jinshi was made into a crown hair ornament. After Zhao Ruxi combed her hair, it was directly tied on the top of her head.
It looks similar to the crown worn by a Western princess. It does not block her hair, but also matches the clothes. It makes Zhao Ruxi's skin as white as snow and her eyes as bright as ink. The whole person looks extremely noble and elegant.
Mrs. Zhu looked at Zhao Ruxi coming out of the house, smiled from ear to ear, and shouted three times: "Okay, okay, okay!"
The old lady directly started to comment: "The clothes you made for her in the past were good-looking, but the person is good-looking, and the clothes are also good-looking, but I don't know whether the clothes complement the person or the person. This set of clothes sent by the Ministry of Etiquette directly complements the clothes.
People. At first glance, everyone will think that the person is very good-looking, but the clothes are not so good. If the clothes are better, I don’t know what kind of beauty she is. Oh, she is indeed worthy of being the Ministry of Rites and the embroiderer in the palace. The clothes she made are
good."
But Zhu was not convinced: "What! The Ministry of Rites can only use this fabric, there is no choice; the style should be as simple and elegant as possible, consistent with the style of male Jinshi. If we can wear this kind of effect, we can only say that we are Xi
Sister, you are beautiful and elegant. Why don't you try someone else."
The old lady immediately changed her mind: "You are right, it is indeed our sister Xi who is so outstanding that she can wear ordinary clothes with such good results."
Zhao Ruxi: "..."
There is no doubt that the granddaughter (daughter) of these two people is awesome.
After praising her, the old lady asked people to strip her clothes mercilessly: "Hurry up and take off your clothes, girl, and hang them on the rack. Send someone to keep an eye on her tonight. If something goes wrong, be careful of your skin."
Then she urged Zhao Ruxi: "Go back and sleep quickly, so that you can have the energy to attend the Chuanlu Ceremony tomorrow."
No woman has ever participated in the Chuanlu Ceremony. Her sister Xi was the first, and this will be recorded in the history. Thinking about it, the old lady felt happy.
Zhao Ruxi had no choice but to go back to Xiuzhuyuan to sleep. As for the Jinshi official uniform, it was left in the old lady's courtyard. The old lady was worried and wanted to take care of it personally. Zhu and Zhao Ruxi refused to listen to their advice.
Before four o'clock the next day, Zhao Ruhu was dug out of bed by Aunt Yuan, Aunt Jin, and Aunt Zhou - don't ask why Aunt Jin next to the old lady and Aunt Zhou next to Zhu met.
Here, asking means you don’t know.
She dressed and washed in a daze, and it wasn't until Zhu personally put a cold handkerchief soaked in well water on Zhao Ruxi's face that she woke up.
"Mom, are you my biological mother?" Zhao Ruxi wailed.
"No, I am the stepmother." Zhu cruelly tampered with the facts and attacked Zhao Ruxi, "If you become an official and reach the fifth rank, you have to go to court every day and you have to get up at this time every day."
Zhao Ruxi was completely awake.
I don’t know who made this rule in the dark. It’s really inhumane. Even if you work diligently, you don’t have to work so hard, right? Disdain!
In modern society, people are miserable from nine to five. How about trying to become an official in ancient times?
After hastily eating a few snacks - not daring to drink water or eat food with soup, Zhao Ruxi, who had the potential to be a fool, was stuffed into a sedan chair with a dry mouth and went to the palace.
Based on the experience last time, Zhu Hehuai woke up early today and went to Suiping Bo's Mansion to ask Zhao Ruxi to go with him to avoid his niece being bumped into.
They, the newly promoted Jinshi, will go to Tiananmen today to wait. Together with the princes and officials, they will enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony and stand in rows to the left and right to listen to the announcement of the names and rankings of the Jinshi.
Fortunately, Suiping's residence was very close to the palace, so the sedan walked for a while under the light of the lantern and then stopped.
"Girl, we're here." Luo Shi called out in a low voice.
The front of the palace is no better than other places. In order to keep it clean, ministers dare not come by carriage - if a horse pulls a poop in front of the palace, it is disrespectful to the royal family and will be beheaded. Everyone generally
Take a sedan chair.
If you take a sedan, all the accompanying servants have to walk. This is very hard for Qing Feng and other maids.
In addition, in ancient times, it was taboo for women to participate in politics, and women generally did not set foot in Tiananmen Square and the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Ministers were afraid that the emperor would misunderstand that they were extravagant and lustful, so they did not dare to bring their maids to the palace gate.
Due to all the circumstances mentioned above, after discussion among the three generations of women from the Suiping residence, the old, middle-aged and young women, they felt that Zhao Ruxi was a woman and it was not appropriate to have only male followers with her. However, they had to take into account the traditional rules. In the end, they decided to let Ma Sheng and Luo Shi accompany the sedan chair.
On the other hand, although Luo didn't have to cover up her feminine features, she dressed up in men's clothing, which was considered to be abiding by the rules in a deceptive way.
