Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

Shen Tao's goosebumps came up, and he quickly pulled out his hand: "I have something to say! I was touched by me. I asked for you, and the other party said, no."

Li Chengfeng became anxious all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked: "Why can't it be done? Didn't you say that you are safe, Brother Shen, you and I have been friends for so many years, so we need to help my brother!"

This Shen Tao is one of the few friends of the original owner. Do you still remember the friend who invited the original owner to steal in the brothel, and then helped the original owner open the door to the new world?That person is Shen Tao.

He was originally from the capital city, his parents died when he was young, and he followed his master to perform in the rivers and lakes, and practiced a good skill.As a result, a fight against injustice in a restaurant once offended the powerful and powerful, and he simply left his hometown to seek a living.

Usually, he is bold and righteous, and everyone is willing to make friends with him. The original owner's smooth entry into the palace this time is also due to his contribution.However, this kind of steel straight man naturally couldn't see the original owner's behavior of pretending to be a woman, so he persuaded him to change his ways and return to the right when they met.The original owner was impatient, but since he had something to ask for, he still wanted to greet him with a smile.

Shen Tao was also quite helpless: "This is also their rule, you can't hide your face, they are in this line of work, they just put their heads on their waistbands, worrying about encountering hard problems, not to mention observing what you look like .The place is not far away, just a few miles outside the city, so you have to go there no matter what.”

Li Chengfeng burst into tears, was it so difficult to obtain a false certificate in ancient times!That's right, what the original owner entrusted to Shen Tao before was to find someone to guide him.

During the Ming Dynasty, there was such a regulation: all personnel who are far away from their residence for hundreds of miles must be issued by the local government department with an official document such as a letter of introduction or a pass, called "Lu Yin". Citation" or those who do not conform to it shall be punished according to the law. "Lu Yin" is actually the proof of leaving home.

The previous identity of the original owner has been repeatedly jumping between Taoist priests and nuns, so there is no need for guides, and there is a certificate issued by the government as a token, basically no problems.But this time when you enter the palace to burglarize, you must be prepared to be foolproof. Taoist costumes cannot be used, and you must rely on roads to get out of the city.

Li Chengfeng originally had a good plan in mind. As long as he has a guide, he can sneak out, restore his men's clothes, and run away with the money.There is no need to make a mirror, and there is no need to be afraid of sacrifices. The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly!

As a result, it still doesn't work now, and it's okay to go out of the mansion. Zhu Houcong would definitely not agree to go out of the city.Now that the certificate is in other people's hands, Anlu is so big, and he will be arrested before he runs very far.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel sad, what kind of fate is this!

It may be that the expression is too miserable, even Shen Tao can't bear it, so he said: "What's going on with you, why do you want to leave suddenly? Could it be...you succeeded?"

Li Chengfeng told him the whole story in a nutshell, and only said that he cured Miss Wangfu's illness, got a bounty, and the other side would not let anyone go.

Surprised, Shen Tao looked him up and down: "I can't tell, brother, you still have this skill?"

Li Chengfeng waved his hand: "It's easy to say."

Shen Tao pondered for a while, and then said: "The two of us can't think of anything now, anyway, there are still a few days left for Xingwang's Hundred Days Ceremony, if you really can't do it, you go to inquire about the news, I will go to the palace to steal it for you. .”

Li Chengfeng was so frightened that he shook his head again and again, brother, you are too courageous!That's the palace!Was it you who came in and out casually, and hurriedly refused: "That's not necessary, brother Shen is kind enough to understand, I still have a useless method, and I will ask you when it is a last resort."

"That's fine," Shen Tao said bluntly, "I'll stay temporarily with my friend in Liang'er Lane in the west of the city. You can find me when you go to Zhang Laizi's house."

Having said all that should be said, the two of them bid farewell.In order not to be seen by others, they deliberately left separately.Shen Tao took a step ahead, and Li Chengfeng drank a few cups of tea in the private room before paying the bill leisurely.

After going out, Li Chengfeng went to the shopping area to collect the materials he wanted. He was generous and handsome. After the shopping was finished, the boss personally sent him out, befriending him with a wavering face.

Li Chengfeng heard it impatiently, when suddenly a strong wind blew by, and a curtain worn by a woman floated over with the wind, he caught it with one hand, and looked in the direction of the wind.

Seeing his old acquaintance Liu Li, the steward of the backyard, staring at him in shock, Li Chengfeng let out a sigh in his heart, secretly thinking that it was bad luck, he would meet this kid no matter where he went.

Standing next to Liu Li was a young woman in Tsing Yi, who looked so coquettish. As a normal man, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but look at her a few more times.Liu Li subconsciously blocked the young woman, his face pale and sweating profusely.

Li Chengfeng was suspicious, but he was used to his cold face, so he remained calm, and was about to step forward to hand the curtain to Liu Li, but when Liu Li saw him moving, he immediately helped the woman beside him into the carriage, and put her in the carriage. Block it tightly.

Then he sent his subordinates to take the curtain, thanked Li Chengfeng, got into the car and left without looking back.

Li Chengfeng, "...has he seen a ghost?" So he asked the boss next to him if those two people knew each other?

The boss nodded: "I know the man, he is the steward of Xing Wang's Mansion. I heard that the silk and satin shop in front belongs to the Wang's Mansion, and the business has been good. The woman... I seem to have met her once, and she covered her face that time, I guess It's his wife."

Li Chengfeng felt puzzled, that's wrong, Liu Li doesn't seem to have a wife in my impression?Could it be a lie again?Shaking his head and thinking about it, it has nothing to do with him anyway, the most important thing is to make the mirror.

After returning home, Li Chengfeng went to Zhu Houcong and told him to prepare a kiln for himself, and he wanted to practice.

Zhu Houcong frowned: "Isn't the alchemy room so big in the mansion not enough for you to practice?"

"That temperature is not enough." Li Chengfeng tried his best to control his desire to roll his eyes at him, and maintain the image of an outsider. "This is a matter of discussion between you and me. Pindao must make sure nothing goes wrong."

Zhu Houcong looked at him suspiciously, and then asked his servants to take him to find the porcelain furnace operated by the palace, and then muttered dissatisfiedly: "It will really mess up people, I am busy here, that is, my son has a good temper and can tolerate it." I'll let you down."

Li Chengfeng "...how could there be such an annoying little kid!" He ignored him, turned around and went to check the kiln. get out of here.

……

When Zhu Houcong said he was busy, he was not lying.He had a stern expression on his face, walked into Princess Jiang's yard in a hurry, and respectfully told Mama Qian to trouble her to inform her. Mama Qian looked at him lovingly, and said with a smile: "Princess Wang has been waiting for you inside."

Zhu Houcong felt uneasy, and asked tentatively, "Mama Qian, does Mama Qian know why my concubine is looking for me?"

Mother Qian shook her head: "Your Majesty will find out later."

When she arrived at the hall, Princess Jiang was sitting on a chair with a stack of ledgers piled up in her hand. After her third sister fell ill and the mother and daughter settled their suspicions, she seemed to have come out of the pain of losing her husband.

Seeing his son coming to ask him to sit down, he inspected his studies first, and then asked him what was not going well in his daily life.Zhu Houcong answered one by one, but his eyes drifted to the ledger involuntarily.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "My son, do you know why mother called you here today?"

"But what happened to the accounts of the palace?" Zhu Houcong was a little nervous.

In fact, when King Xing was seriously ill, the princess handed over some of the affairs in the mansion to Zhu Houcong, which was also discussed with the prince.After all, the son is going to grow up, and the palace is still waiting to be supported by him, and she can't help him for the rest of her life. Looking at Zhu Houcong's handsome and immature face, Jiang forced herself to harden her heart: "It's been so many days, do you think the palace is now how?"

Zhu Houcong thought about it for a while, and said somewhat self-confidently: "Although the people's hearts are a little impetuous after the death of the father, the son-in-law has already told the major stewards to manage more, and now the mansion has gradually returned to stability."

"Oh?" Jiang sneered, she was still a child after all, so she pushed the ledger on the table over: "Take a closer look."

Zhu Houcong flipped through the ledger suspiciously, his face turned livid with just one glance, and at the end he was so angry that his hands shook, "These dog slaves!"

Jiang's old god was at the side: "How do you feel after watching it?"

Zhu Houcong recalled the big words he told his concubine just now, his face flushed with embarrassment, and after a while, he said in frustration: "My son is useless, I have disappointed my concubine."

Jiang Shi tried her best to hold back the corners of her mouth that wanted to turn up, and said patiently: "Xiao'er, you have to remember that people's hearts are not enough to swallow like a snake, and even the people around them cannot be completely trusted. Moreover, there are many people in the mansion. Small handymen may have several layers of relationships, so you must watch and think more at ordinary times."

Zhu Houcong nodded: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, I will definitely investigate thoroughly after I go back this time! Catch all those moths!"

Concubine Jiang shook her head, this child probably doesn't understand the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, so I just wanted to tell him, but think about it or forget it.After all, with her here, even if something goes wrong, he can take care of it, and let him handle it by himself after a few instructions.

Zhu Houcong walked out of the yard, feeling furious. His majestic son, the future King Xing, was played and applauded by a few servants!Immediately call Mo Kai, the chief supervisor, and he will thoroughly investigate the mansion!

The author has something to say: About that Lu Yin

Let me tell you something, some people may wonder why a big guy like Xu Xiake can still travel across the country when the road guides were so strict in the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, Xu Xiake was born in the 14th year of Wanli. At that time, it was the end of Ming Dynasty, the society and economy were in turmoil, and the management was not as strict as before.

Secondly, Xu Xiake has a magic weapon, that is, he can pretend to be a scholar. In fact, Xu Xiake didn't get any fame at all.It is recorded that he dressed as a Confucian scholar all the year round, and some officers and soldiers probably did not check him much out of respect for intellectuals.This kind of attire brought Xu Xiake a lot of convenience. For example, in Yongxin County, Jiangxi, with this attire, he was taken in by people dressed as Confucian scholars on New Year's Eve when he was living on the street.

Finally, if you look at Xu Xiake's travel notes, there are many records in which thank XXX for writing letters for me. What is the purpose of writing so many letters?In addition to hoping that these people along the way can help and support Xu Xiake, they also have the function of providing convenience and "endorsement" for Xu Xiake to apply for "guidance" along the way, and can also play the role of proving his identity on some occasions.

If we really use the analogy now, Xu Xiake is more like an outdoor anchor, and people keep giving him gifts during the live broadcast.
