Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 133
And Jiang Tian felt the slight body temperature and breath remaining in his fingers and palms, and couldn't help smiling.Since you want to deliberately get close to yourself, you don't mind paying the corresponding price for it, right?It's just that the lower limit of Wu Desi's sugar-coated shells is lower than what I thought.Thanks to her for being able to endure until the end.

However, the next moment, Jiang Tian discovered that the intersection ahead had been temporarily blocked by a large number of people gathered.Immediately, he also followed curiously. Some people who came to eat melons one after another walked up to a restaurant on the street and looked into the distance.

Then, he saw that the hundred-foot-wide main street was already crowded with people and noisy.Then, with the faint sound of silk and bamboo instrument music coming from a distance; under the faint call of the crowds who are running around on the street, several tall floats (parade floats) slowly come;

And on the carriage platforms made of various pavilions, many young and beautiful female crowns, wearing white or black crane cloaks and feather coats, covered with gauze and silk, with lotus crowns on their hair, standing in small In the scene, it looks graceful, elegant and clean, as if floating in a fairy.

Therefore, on the side of the slowly moving carriages, there are quite a few young and well-dressed wanderers; as if they were competing with each other, shouting one after another at the top of their lungs, the title of a certain female crown is just to attract The other party glanced lightly and smiled lightly.

"Crimson Immortal!"

"Yuanzhen!"

"Ning Ping!"

"Rinse!"

But wearing soap clothes and variegated jackets, following closely behind like a muddy stream, trying to maintain order in the market, some unscrupulous people and Wuhou; but it is inevitable to show envy, jealousy, or helplessness.

Because among these seemingly flashy children, maybe there are people from their Shangguan family.And the women behind these shows are also existences with extensive connections or deep backgrounds that they cannot afford to provoke.

You know, there are at least 100 Daoist temples in and around Chang'an.Among them, according to the closeness and distance with the imperial court, they are divided into three, six, and nine grades.The first class, of course, is where the emperors of all dynasties revised it in the name of the country, and it has special political significance:
For example: Longxing Temple (located in Chonghuafang) during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty; Haotian Temple (located in Baoningfang) during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty; Fang), the Chongzhen Temple (located in Xinchangfang) during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, etc.:
The second category is the places built by the emperor for relatives such as parents, children, brothers and sisters, praying and offering sacrifices; such as Dongming Temple (located in Puning Square), Zhaocheng Temple (located in Xuanzheng Square), Taiping Temple (located in Daye Square), Fu Kangguan (located in Chongyefang) is analogous to the allusion of Daci'en Temple.

The third class is the virtuous monks emerging from the people and the hermits recruited by the court, such as Huang Guanzi Li Chunfeng, Luofu Zhenren Ye Fashan, Master Xihua Cheng Xuanying, Mr. Zhengyi Sima Chengzhen, Mr. Tongxuan Zhang Guolao and other famous Taoist masters of the past dynasties , the ashram where he stops and preaches.

The fourth category is the masters of the Shangqing, Maoshan, Louguan and other major avenues; the disciples, the lower courts established, branch halls, and other temples, etc., are religious places that undertake various daily rituals in the traditional sense.

In addition, there are some small and medium-sized Taoist temples that were raised and built by private wealthy families and privately maintained as ancestral halls, and even the wild temples that have not been reported by the government are not included in the period.

The women's crown practice places accounted for almost a small half.Among them, the most famous ones are undoubtedly the courtyards that provide the members of the royal family with pure training; such as the Yuzhen Temple of Princess Yuzhen, the Jinxian Temple of Princess Jinxian, etc.; it is almost the original private residence of these princesses, just with a different sign.

For another example, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty specially built the Taizhen Temple in order to complete the plan of climbing the ashes in a curved way to save the country.Then, let his daughter-in-law first become a female crown, and then enter the palace to serve and practice as a Taizhen layman, completing the identity change from Concubine Shou to Concubine Yang.

Therefore, these female temples with royal, aristocratic, and official backgrounds are more open and more relaxed than ordinary temple temples.For example, Yu Xuanji, a famous bold and unrestrained woman in history, even after she was expelled as a concubine, she still had a lot of guests and friends after she became a monk in Xianyiguan.

Another example is the Yuzhen Temple practiced by Princess Yuzhen. Whether it is Wang Wei, Li Bai or Wang Changling and other contemporary celebrities and masters, they have all been guests in it.Therefore, it has been inherited to the present, and another style has been developed; somewhat similar to the style of entertainment idol career in later generations.

It is among these women's temples that regularly hold various street parade activities for reasons such as the four seasons and eight festivals, the eternal life (the birthday of the emperor and the empress dowager), and even the birthday of the first generation of temple masters who have a lot of background.Over time, it has become a tradition and fashion in the capital.

Therefore, during this period, along with the women's temples everywhere, the street parade car platforms and car buildings built by them competed for beauty in the street; Pursuit and, a beautiful landscape.

Of course, this is also a strategy to promote the reputation of the corresponding female view and maintain influence.Therefore, after every car parade, the corresponding female temples will hold corresponding tea parties and garden parties; for the follow-up selection and reception, all kinds of good believers who come here are attracted by the name.

During this period, tea ceremony, flower art, or discussion of metaphysics, or chess game, or calligraphy and painting evaluation, or harmony with piano and zither; of course, in terms of basic style, it is better than Ping Kangli Those courtyards and pavilions are much more elegant and fashionable.

Therefore, it is inevitable that many women from noble families and eunuchs gathered in order to avoid getting married or remarrying.But there are also some people from humble backgrounds, who use this as a shortcut to choose a son-in-law; first become a monk, wait until Bo becomes famous, and then meet the so-called true love/benefactor, and there are not a few people who return to the vulgar and marry.

As for why Jiang Tian knows so much; the reason is also very simple.His predecessor was once one of Wan'an Temple (located in Pingkangfang), a follower of a certain Taoist lady; and he has contributed his meager strength and income to these vain Tang version idol careers.

So, in the end, in this idol's fan circle/bottomless pit, I was able to wake up after spending a lot of money on settling down in the capital.Although it is not embarrassing to graze, but in order to save money, I have to move to the south of the city where there are a lot of fish and dragons to live for a long time.

It's just that at the next moment, Jiang Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised by the task progress that popped up suddenly; could it be possible to accidentally trigger new clues and scenes when encountering a group of female champions on the street?Immediately, he inquired about the origin of these vehicles, which was located in Youxian Temple in Anfengfang.

Among the many women's temples in Chang'an, it is not an existence with a long history.From the first generation of sisters Song Huayang, the master of Youxianguan, it is only the third generation.However, sister Song Huayang, the master of the temple, was the maidservant of Princess Tongfu in the former dynasty, and she opened the meditation practice as a substitute for the princess.

Therefore, Youxian Temple also has a somewhat royal background; in addition, it was inextricably linked with the famous Yuxi Sheng at that time, and Li Yishan, the "passionate prime minister" of the Yuan Qing Dynasty; It has become a little famous place.

By the way, this "passionate prime minister" Li Yishan is also called Li Shangyin in another space-time line.That's right, it was the patriarch of the Huajian School who "this feeling can be remembered, but it was already lost at the time", who was collectively called "Three Lis" with Li He and Li Bai; and "Wen Li" with Wen Tingyun.

After writing down the origin and origin of this point, Jiang Tian is going to take the time to investigate.Of course, whether it's a visit for the sake of curiosity, or a spy who waits for an opportunity to touch him in the middle of the night; at this moment, he already has the confidence to retreat in case something happens.

When passing Qinglongfang on the way back, Jiang Tian saw a special signboard.He couldn't help being moved in his heart, stopped the carriage again and walked in.Came to a clothing store in the depths of the alley; it looked small and quite old, but there was something hidden inside.

It's just that although it claims to be a unique ready-made clothing store, there are no finished clothes on the rather spacious walls inside. Instead, there are painted patterns of various colors of ready-made clothes and matching scrolls of figures.It looks familiar.

Wide and long red bowknot ribbons, red and white underarm clothing, black robes and peaked hats, loose nightcaps with stars and moons, wings with tiny colorful crystals, short cheongsams with open sides and high waist... everything is wrong Filled with another world only, Two-dimensional anime manga style.

Although it seems that these patterns are mainly women's clothing, the few customers inside are all men.Between their whispered communication and comments, as well as occasional eye contact, they can still reveal some kind of "heroes see the same thing", or the dead house meaning of sympathy.

On the contrary, the guests are all slender and well-proportioned young women, dressed in the colors of some of the patterns; they act as models in a certain sense of the clothes rack.Therefore, when someone clicks on a certain sample in a whisper, someone will wear it and show it.

And according to the memory of the predecessor, there are actually prohibited clothes here.It is said that when worshiping the ancestors of some prominent families, young or young women who have just reached the age of the family must wear similar sacrificial attire and sing and dance in front of the ancestors' spirit tablets as a way of comforting them.

Later, it was gradually spread out, and it became a style that some wealthy and wealthy families in the middle and lower classes scrambled to imitate in private.This kind of semi-public sale of second-hand clothes has also emerged as the times require, and special tailor-made clothing stores can also be tailored according to customers' private requirements.

After observing for a while, Jiang Tian also hand-painted a few patterns, and ordered several sets of pure white silk and black satin on the spot, decorated with delicate flowers, lace skirts and head accessories; "Ming Fei", dressed up with her own hands.

As for the size, it is not a problem, because Jiang Tian has used it all night to measure it from head to toe.Of course, Jiang Tian also kept the outfit of Concubine Ming as a gift along with the large-sized figure as a souvenir; maybe there will be a chance to use it in the future.
