Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 432 0427 [Sister Zhe, please don’t talk about H color]

Zhe Yanxiu was indeed in good health, and when she got up the next morning, she was able to have fun all over the ground, running to the yard to dance with a spear and a sword.

Under the rising sun, the newlywed young woman changed her hairstyle to a bun, and wore a goose-yellow pair of lapels with a straight collar.The front of the clothes was open, and there was a long tube top inside. When the gun was pulled out, the skirt blew up in the wind, revealing not only the loose silk trousers, but also the entire tube top.

Women in the Song Dynasty were still very unrestrained in their attire.

This kind of clothing style is called "no gusset style".It can be understood that the coat does not even have buttons, and it is directly shown as an extended underwear.

After she finished practicing a set of marksmanship, Ju Ming smiled and teased: "You are cool enough."

Zhe Yanxiu took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, and wiped off the fine sweat on her forehead: "There are autumn tigers this year, and it's still very hot in autumn, so it's the most cool to wear. Don't you like it, my husband? I'll let someone put it on the veil, Just add two rows of ties and tie it."

"It's up to you, it doesn't matter if you don't change it." Ju Ming is not that conservative, at least he can't be more conservative than the ancients.

This "non-girdle style" is not to mention popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the more conservative Southern Song Dynasty is still wearing it.

"Then I won't change it," Zhe Yanxiu asked with a smile, "How is the Nu family doing with this shooting technique?"

Zhu Ming replied sincerely: "The heroic appearance is valiant, and the play is very good."

Zhe Yanxiu was not happy: "Is it just good-looking? Is it sharp and majestic?"

"There are too many gimmicks, you can't go to the battlefield." Zhu Ming said.

Zhe Yanxiu said: "It's natural when you're practicing spears, and you don't need those tricks when you're on the battlefield."

Zhu Ming shook his head: "If you want to go to the battlefield, you can't usually practice like this, otherwise you will form a habit if you practice too much."

The maid brought the chair, and Zhe Yanxiu sat down next to Zhu Ming.Fever and sweat due to exercise, the maid was playing the fan beside her, she thought the fan was too slow, so she snatched it up and fanned herself: "It's a pity that women can't go to the battlefield, no matter how good they practice, they can only play at home."

Zhu Ming thought of the "Madam She" in "The General of the Yang Family", and he didn't know how many generations of Zhe Yanxiu's ancestors, so he asked casually, but Zhe Yanxiu couldn't figure it out.

In fact, it is seven generations of aunts, so how can I remember it after so many generations?
"Happy in Fuzhou, or happy in Xiangyang?" Zhu Ming asked.

Zhe Yanxiu thought about it carefully: "Xiangyang is much more prosperous, but the summer is too hot, so each has its own advantages."

Ju Ming was also quite emotional: "This year's weather is hot, but the weather is smooth. The weather is really weird. According to my father, the rain and heat are just right. It's hot when it should be hot, and it's raining when it should be raining."

"I heard people say that the boss is good at farming? Why does he like farming?" Zhe Yanxiu asked curiously.

"You heard what your family said, so there's no need to flatter you in everything." Zhu Ming now finally knows why it took more than half a year for the Zhe family to send their daughter.This is deliberately inquiring about the preferences of their father and son, and after making sufficient preparations, they sent the pair of children to Hanzhong.

That Zhe Zhichang is very good at flattering.He kept his mouth shut and used arguments, citing Ju Ming’s annotated viewpoints of "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" from time to time, and also planned to discuss poetry with Zhu Ming. All his words and deeds had put a lot of effort into trying to please him in advance.

In comparison, the brothers and sisters of the Zhong family are really unpleasant.

Zhu Ming chatted with Zhe Yanxiu for a while, and went to work before having breakfast.

Zhe Yanxiu was very bored staying alone in the room, she took a shower to wash off the sweat all over her body, and she was drenched in sweat just after changing into clean clothes.

She still remembered her elders' instructions and went to see Zhang Jinping. She bowed respectfully and said, "Yanxiu has seen the lady. May the lady be healthy and blessed!"

"My sister doesn't need to be too polite." Zhang Jinping was very satisfied with the attitude of this girl, and asked the maid to bring a set of pearl flowers, "We will be a family from now on, and my sister will take this set of jewelry."

Zhe Yanxiu said happily: "Thank you, Madam, I also brought a gift for Madam."

Fuzhou is close to the border of the Liao Kingdom, and the presents Zheyan embroidered are a set of clothes in the style of the Liao Kingdom.

Although the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty ordered many times to prohibit the people from wearing Liao costumes, it had no effect at all.

In terms of clothing and building overrules, the people of the Song Dynasty completely opposed the court.The more it is prohibited, the more people will violate it.For example, it is stipulated that, except for women and children, other people are not allowed to wear pure yellow clothes privately, and at most use yellow cloth for partial decoration.However, there were some men who strutted out into the streets in pure yellow clothes.

The people in the Northern Song Dynasty liked to imitate the clothes of the Liao people; the people in the Southern Song Dynasty liked to imitate the clothes of the Jin people.

It's not about worshiping foreigners, but chasing exotic customs.

Because Liao people and Jin people are the same, they always like to wear Song Dynasty costumes.

Zhe Yanxiu said: "This tunic has velvet inside, so it is very warm in winter. When you wear it, you can also hang red and yellow streamers, which is quite elegant with the floor-length skirt."

Zhang Jinping molded the inside of the clothes, and there was indeed fluff inside, and the outer layer was also high-quality brocade, which might be worth thousands of dollars.

In comparison, Zhang Jinping felt that sending pearl flowers seemed a bit petty.

Zhang Jinping said: "It's all a family. Don't give such expensive gifts. Your husband is a simple person and doesn't like luxury. We women in the house should also be frugal."

"Young lady taught me a lesson, I will definitely pay attention in the future." Zhe Yanxiu said hastily.

The two girls chatted for a while, Zhe Yanxiu resigned and left.

After leaving the courtyard, Zhe Yanxiu breathed out a breath of foul air, and her elders warned her to please his wife, but this cautious way of communicating made her feel so awkward that she was about to suffocate.

Let's go and play with the younger sister of the Zhong family, after all, they are the daughters of the general family who married together.

Zhong Miaoyun was reading a book in his room, when he was notified by the maid, he hurried out to meet him.

When Zhe Yanxiu met, she said: "My husband consummated the marriage with me last night, and it must be your turn tonight. My husband is very loving, and sleeping with him is very comfortable. It's like flying a few times..."

"Sister Zhe, please be careful!"

Zhong Miaoyun hastily interrupted, she had already heard the black lines on her forehead, and she didn't dare to let Zhe Yanxiu continue talking.

"What are you afraid of? No outsiders will hear it," Zhe Yanxiu said with a smile, "Last night I wanted to learn martial arts with my husband, but I knocked my long spear away with a mace. Such martial arts and strength are really unique in the world." Waiting for a good boy. The elders in the family said that my husband is a great Confucian in the world, and I was afraid that he would take an exam to learn, but luckily he didn't ask me about poetry and books."

Zhong Miaoyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but couldn't help asking: "He won't be rude when he treats the concubine's room?"

Zhe Yanxiu said: "It's very rude. You carried me into the house on your shoulders, and fell on the bed so hard that my ass hurt from the fall. But I like it, it's called masculinity."

Zhong Miaoyun felt a little scared, and carried the woman away at every turn, no matter how it sounded like a gangster's behavior, and he didn't know martial arts.If I provoke him in the future, I am afraid that I will be beaten to death.

Zhe Yanxiu said: "I went to see the eldest lady just now, and she is also easy to get along with. The elders in the family asked me to take care of her carefully, and I was trembling when talking to the eldest lady, and the chat became more and more uncomfortable after a long time."

Zhong Miaoyun said: "The eldest lady is a daughter of the Zhang family in Jiangxi. She is a lady of a famous family and has her own self-cultivation."

"Then you have to give her a gift," Zhe Yanxiu shared her successful experience, "I gave her a set of expensive clothes, she likes it very much, and the conversation is even more affectionate."

But Zhong Miaoyun defended Zhang Jinping: "Jiangxi Zhang's family is very rich, and she will not be angry with others because of her wealth. What she values ​​is your kindness. I also brought gifts for the eldest lady, but they are not expensive. , it’s just a modern calligraphy and painting.”

"What can I give you calligraphy and painting?" Zhe Yanxiu muttered.

Zhong Miaoyun feels that it is very difficult to communicate with this person. Many times, she plays the piano completely to the cow, but Zhe Yanxiu has a straightforward personality and is not annoying.They are the daughters of generals married together, so they are naturally closer, and they will have more days to deal with each other in the future.

Zhe Yanxiu asked: "What does my sister like to play? Let's play football together, I am very good at Cuju."

"The weather is hot, playing football requires sweating, so it's better to play Shuanglu." Zhong Miaoyun also wanted to play games to pass the time.

The two girls went into the house to play backgammon, while Zhong Miaoyun played chess and inquired about the details of last night.

While talking, Zhe Yanxiu started to talk about pornography again, and Zhong Miaoyun blushed when she heard that, these two were not on the same channel at all.

Zhu Ming came out of Zheyanxiu courtyard, first went to inspect the barracks, chatting with his own soldiers.

Back at the Grand Marshal's Mansion, Bai Sheng immediately brought a military newspaper.

According to the news from Hanyang, Zhong Xiang's navy was patrolling the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and was attacked by officers and soldiers. Zhong Xiang's navy lost several warships.

Ju Ming thought about it carefully and thought it was done by Quan Bangyan.

Quan Bangyan is a graduate of Taixue. He was awarded Jinshi and rank.He was also sent as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom, and later he was released as a magistrate, and was called back to the court as a Lang official. He was relegated to magistrate again because he offended Wang Fu.

After Wang Fu dismissed as prime minister, Quan Bangyan was recommended as Jiangxi's transshipment envoy, and he arrived in Jiangxi only for more than three months.

In such a short period of time, the Jiangxi Navy was able to be established, and it also took the initiative to launch a sneak attack, causing Zhong Xiang to lose several warships.

Da Song really has a lot of talents, but they rarely use them in the right place.

Quan Bangyan later became Minister of War of Zhao Gou. He strongly advocated the fight against gold and regained the lost ground.

All his suggestions, Zhao Gou... will not accept them!
However, Zhao Gou knew that Quan Bangyan was right, and had always let Quan Bangyan serve as a servant and close minister. Such a contradictory approach is very puzzling.

I am the emperor, I know that you are a talent, and I agree with your strategy, but unfortunately I can't do any of these.In order to show that I care for talents, I decided to promote you, but I still don't listen to what you say.

Quan Bangyan is in charge of Jiangxi. I am afraid that it will be difficult for Zhong Xiang to get in. If he wants to expand his territory, he can only go south.

If Zhong Xiang continues to fight hard, it is very likely that he will be hit again when he attacked Jiangxi.

Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, Quan Bangyan... There are quite a few similar ministers. In times of crisis, someone will always stand up to save the situation. It depends on how the Song Dynasty emperor will appoint him next.
