Chapter 437 Adhesive

The next morning.

This is a sunny and sunny weather, the temperature is also very pleasant, it is a good time to hold a picnic.

Since Liang Weiming was the protagonist of the banquet this time, almost all the celebrities from California came.

From their point of view, Liang Yao was very busy on weekdays, and almost all the banquets that could be canceled were postponed, and he didn't attend many banquets.This is a good opportunity to get close to Liang Yao, there is no reason to miss such a good opportunity.

Unlike at the beginning of the founding of the state, the Chinese have now become the absolute main body of California.

The proportion of Chinese in the upper class of California has also risen from less than 1851% in 10 to 60% now.

However, this proportion is still lower than the proportion of Chinese in the total population of California.

At present, the Chinese population in California accounts for about 70% of the total population, and the remaining population is mainly immigrants from other states or regions of the United States, Mexico, and Europe, as well as friendly local Indian tribes.

California is a new state composed of multi-ethnic immigrants, and the culture is naturally very diverse.

"In such a big country, there are tens of millions of people, and these people come from different countries, there must be something that can bind them together and condense them into one country.

Because gold is not too rare in California, women in the upper class in California prefer various kinds of jade, which are relatively rare in California.

Of course, there are also women who like to try new things and like to mix and match or even wear dresses from other ethnic groups. These special cases are not discussed.

Liang Shaochen was riding a horse, complaining about the exaggerated hem of the crinolin skirt.

As for tiaras and earrings, California's upper-class women generally disliked gold jewelry.

They think that these jade jewels, which have been carefully crafted by famous craftsmen, are more in line with their temperament than gold.Only vulgar people like gold.

Most of the Yankee and Dixie men wear simplified and improved Western-style dresses. If there is any difference, it is that the Yankee men's dresses are simpler than the Dixie dresses.

In addition to dividing circles by ethnicity, there are also circles divided by region and industry, such as the circle formed by the wives in San Francisco, the circle formed by the wives in Los Angeles, the circle formed by the wives in Sacramento, The circle of wives of factory owners and capitalists, the circle of wives of large planters, the circle of wives of oil guys, etc., form different small groups.

The choice of top hat is relatively free, but most men still choose the rounded top hat that is standard for capitalists, but the material is different, but the top hat made of beaver fur is the most popular.

This point is similar to those European dilapidated nobles who like to put on a show to find a sense of presence.

"America was originally a disrespectful country established by a group of people who are disrespectful. Americans have always valued profits and despised courtesy." Liang Yao said with a smile.

The wives from the east like to hang around Liang Yao's mother, Deng Lan. At first, Deng Lan was not used to it, but now she is slowly adapting to life here.

He was dissatisfied with women being able to participate in such complicated banquets grandly, and believed that women should not show their faces in public, but should take good care of their husbands and children at home.

If you have to compare yourself, Western women did enjoy a little more rights than Eastern women at the same time, and Western society is more tolerant of women than Eastern women.

As for the cane, it is not a standard configuration. Whether to carry a cane or not depends entirely on personal preference.

Such as rare pearls, emeralds, natural gemstones, amber and so on.

"It has been established for less than a hundred years, but it is a powerful state with vast land and rich resources, and there must be something to recommend it." Liang Weiming held the rein with one hand and stroked his beard with the other, meditating.

After all, in the West, which has entered the industrial society, major factories, especially those in the textile industry, are also willing to hire cheaper female workers.

For example, our Huaxia relies on 5000 years of historical heritage and the study of Confucius and Mencius. "

Of course, there are also a few run-down aristocrats who like to show off and look for a sense of presence. They think they are superior and stubbornly wear a double-breasted long coat called Justker, and then pair it with a half-legged trousers called Kyorot.

"The dress of the foreign woman is really strange, with such a big hem, it looks like an old hen laying eggs."

Western-style dresses for men of various European ethnic groups are relatively cumbersome.

As long as the economy is independent, there will naturally be more things that can be won.

There are many reasons why Liang Weiming is interested in the United States. One is because Liang Yao is in the United States, and the other is because the United States is the most special existence among Western countries. The history of founding the country is extremely short. Even the history of the Qing Dynasty is longer than the history of the United States. .

After eating something to eat in the morning, the men led the hounds and carried the goshawks into the mountains to hunt in groups to prepare the ingredients for today's picnic.

Oriental women mainly wear all kinds of Hanfu and Hanfu improved according to their own preferences after coming to California.But they all like to wear gloves.

Ladies in high society in California also have their own circles. Generally speaking, Western wives like to revolve around Mrs. Fremont, with Mrs. Fremont as the core. When chatting, Mrs. Fremont is always their focus .

Chinese in California generally like to wear Hanfu in the style of the pre-Ming Dynasty or improved according to their own preferences when attending more formal banquets. However, Chinese with official status, such as a few big merchants in Guangzhou, usually wear official robes of the Qing Dynasty to show themselves difference in status.

The women were drinking tea and chatting in the manor under the arrangement of the hostess, Mrs. Sartre.

"In gatherings between men, women and other people participate in it, which inevitably breaks the etiquette." Liang Weiming also has his conservative side.

As for which is right and which is wrong, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see wisdom.

Women's dresses are mainly skirts whether they are of oriental or western ethnicity.

Liang Shaochen's complexion is still sick and haggard, he looks like a sick child, but compared to when he was in Xiangshan, his face is already a bit bloody, and his health is gradually improving, it's just a frequent drug addiction Still tormenting him.

Liang Weiming has read Liang Yao's "Tongjian of All Nations", and among the countries introduced in "Tongjian of All Nations", the country Liang Weiming is most interested in is the United States.

After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are intricate gangs and circles.

"Furthermore, the United States has not been established for a hundred years, and the history books do not have a few pages. How can there be a theory of etiquette and music?"

However, due to hunting today, many men still choose to wear breeches that are convenient for riding.

Western ladies generally wear tutu skirts with large skirts that are very popular nowadays, that is, crinoline skirts. The fluffy and wide skirts of this kind of skirts are more than enough to hide two or three people.

In this era, whether it is the East or the West, the rights enjoyed by women are extremely limited.

This point can also be seen from the attire of the guests attending the banquet.

Liang Weiming didn't understand why such a wonderful country could become one of the world's most powerful countries and possess such a vast territory within a hundred years of its founding.

"American Dream." Liang Yao gave the answer after thinking for a moment.

Perhaps the American Dream is the spiritual glue of this country.

Liang Yao traveled thousands of miles across the ocean from Guangdong, spared most of the world to come here, so he was pursuing his dream, a dream of escaping from reality and comforting himself in a hidden corner.
