Chapter 296 Fans
The pattern on the exquisite long wooden box is full of exotic styles. The fan in the box is unfolded, and there is a fan lying quietly inside.Leng Yun opened it, and saw simple textures carved on the fan handle made of cypress, very Japanese style.Looking at the fan again, the silk fan is covered with gold and silver foils, and the big cherry blossoms overlap with other flowers five times, and the hanging ribbons, the style is extremely gorgeous and extravagant.

"Japanese fan?"

Man Yue was a little surprised, this style can only be a Japanese fan, and this one is worth a lot of money.

"I saw that you like to use folding fans. I saw a businessman from the Wa Kingdom come that day and said that it was a fan from the Wa Kingdom Beijing Fan Hall, so I bought one for you."

After a pause, he continued: "If you don't like the sling, just remove it. This cypress fan was used a lot by Japanese court nobles. They pursue complicated and gorgeous effects. With this sash, it may be inconvenient if you go out."

Full Moon was overjoyed, "The Japanese cypress fan, Twelve Singles is a representative of Japanese culture. The Twelve Singles evolved from Tang clothing. After adjusting the length of the front and rear skirts, it became the current Twelve Singles. I heard people say If you want to appreciate the style of Tang and Song Dynasties, go to Kyoto and Nara in Japan.”

"Small country, where can I go?"

Leng Yun was a little disdainful, "Little fruit pretends to be the emperor, but now it is controlled by the shogunate. It's ridiculous."

"People in a narrow land, uncle, don't underestimate that country. Think about it, they dared to attack us during the Tang Dynasty. After being defeated, the whole Tang Dynasty was transformed. After the Song Dynasty was destroyed, the whole country mourned as a vegetarian, and the emperor no longer cried out. The people of the country were moved when they heard it, but where are they mourning the Song Dynasty? They were crying for themselves. When the Song Dynasty was destroyed, Meng Yuan was about to beat them..."

"Japan now considers itself to be the orthodox of Confucianism. They have said that China is after Yashan! (Note 1) After two kamikazes (Note 2) destroyed the Mongolian and Yuan crusades and failed, Japan felt that this was God’s will, they are the Confucian orthodoxies! So they have always been indifferent to our Ming Dynasty, probably because they think that we have been ruled by barbarians, which is unorthodox!!”

"A country like this is destined to invade us! They feel that they are well-known teachers, not to mention, such a small place can't afford to support so many people. One day they will attack North Korea again, and then invade us..."

Leng Yun was silent.

He thought of the Japanese invasion during the Jiajing period and the three Wanli campaigns during the Wanli period, one of which was Japan.Japan invaded South Korea, Ming emptied the treasury to aid North Korea, rebuilt North Korea, and gained fame, but the country was also sluggish. Otherwise, King Chuang would not have a chance, and the Tartars in the north would have no chance to occupy half of the country.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, and slammed down on the table, "It's a shame that the master only sees the Four Books and Five Classics, but he can't see the gap between us and others. If the rivers and mountains are restored, Japan must also be cleaned up to avoid future troubles!"

Full Moon | Playing with the fan, unfolding the fan and looking at it carefully, I have to say that the Japanese do have a skill in art, and more importantly, the workmanship is extremely meticulous, which fully reflects the character of the Yamato nation that strives for perfection. It is a place worth learning, but it is also a scary place.

"Uncle, look at this fan..."

Man Yue handed the fan to him, "My craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty make things that are no worse than this, or even better, but I think our craftsmen are not as good as Japanese craftsmen, why do you think?"

Leng Yun looked strange, "Why?"

"The sage Confucius once said that if the Tao is based on government, if it is equal to punishment, the people will be free from shame; Which one is not superior in craftsmanship? Let alone the Forbidden City, let’s talk about the city walls of our capital, every brick must be engraved with the name of the craftsman, so this is the same as what the sage said, and the taste has changed.”

"Craftsmen are afraid of being punished, so they can only do their best, otherwise the whole family will be ruined; look at Japanese craftsmen, they are trying to transcend themselves and improve their skills. Terrible place for the nation. We are too full of servility, and although Japan has a strict hierarchy, it has a tradition of subjugating the superiors. It doesn’t matter if you say they are impolite or not. In the country, the shoguns subdue the emperor. It’s time to conquer our upper country!”

The full moon of Chinese craftsman spirit is really hard to say. People with outstanding skills are often afraid of offending the rich and powerful and dare not make themselves too good. Too many geniuses have died because of this throughout the ages. The most typical one is Hua Tuo. In the eyes of the ancients, doctors are just like craftsmen. Almost, he was killed by Cao Cao because of his advanced thinking.

Since then, no one has dared to innovate anymore, because innovation will kill people.This is what Confucius said, if Qi Zhi is punished, the people will be spared and shameless.The people of a country obey the rules because they are afraid of being punished, so what kind of upward spirit is there in the country?

People in later generations always say that Chinese people are slavish, how can they not be serious?We have been enslaved by the superiors for thousands of years. When the Qing Dynasty fell, we practiced democracy. If you don’t die, who will die? !
The room became silent, and after a long time, Leng Yun said slowly: "This is indeed a terrible nation."

After a while of silence, he said, "Well, don't talk about these frustrating things, we can't control what happens in the court, but talk about Hou Jing, you should be careful when you go to Wei Guogong, I guess His Majesty may go."

"what?"

Man Yue exclaimed, "The Son of Heaven will go too?"

"Well, this matter of yours can last forever, and the emperor naturally wants to see you. It's just that due to etiquette, you can't be summoned directly, so I went to Wei Guogong to see what you look like."

Leng Yun smiled lightly, "By the way, I would like to encourage you a few words."

Although he smiled, his eyes were cold.

He didn't realize that it was impolite for the emperor to want to see what his little thing was. After all, the matter of the gods was too embarrassing for the emperor. Kind of.

Human nature is understandable.

But that dog Hou Jing dared to make a fuss about her marriage with him. Don't blame him for being fifteen when he is in the first grade of junior high school. The Weng family is just the beginning.

"Ha ha!"

Full Moon laughed, it would be a bit false to say that she was not excited.After all, it is the head of a country. I was an ordinary person in my previous life. It is indeed a bit exciting to meet the leader of a country.

"Then I have to ask the emperor for a gold medal to avoid death, so that Hou Jing can't reach me."

Leng Yun was amused by her whimsy, "Okay, if you are capable, ask the emperor for one."

"What is the emperor like?"

Full Moon was suddenly curious.

Leng Yun was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Son of heaven...actually he is similar to ordinary people, humble and eager to learn, but..."

Thinking of the private contact, Leng Yun felt a little headache, "It's also fun, and I'm curious about new things."

"That's normal. I heard that today's saint is only nineteen years old, half a year older than Xu Yuan. It's the time when he's curious about everything."

"This is old-fashioned, as if you are very big."

Leng Yun smiled lightly, "But you can't say this outside, talking about a ruler behind his back is not what a minister does."

Full Moon nodded, and did not continue this topic.

A meal of tea was not over until Wujin Xizhuo.

Man Yue went out first, got into the car, and Leng Yun came out after a long time, it was almost the same as cheating, since both of them were getting married soon.

Back at the post house, after dinner, I started to process the ingredients for tomorrow.

Wei Guogong's mansion has sent all the things that Man Yue needs, this is the meaning of the Empress Dowager, so naturally he can't take advantage of Man Yue.

The things sent by Duke Wei's mansion are of course very good, and the people in the post house are also good people. Seeing the things delivered by Duke Wei, and knowing what the Duke of Wei's place is going to cook the next day, he guessed in his heart that it might be for him. The Son of Heaven did it.

Immediately sent people to help with some layman's work, they can still do things like dealing with pig's feet.

The other full moons are busy behind closed doors. After tomorrow, this Buddha Jumping Wall will definitely become famous all over the world. I can't pass on the production method now, but I have to use it as a signboard!

It was too late to deal with everything. After tidying up everything, the full moon rose again at 4:[-] a.m. the next day, made a stove, and started to process the dry goods soaked in rice wine. These things were steamed with rice wine, and they were seafood. It's better if you just deal with it. When you get to Wei Guogong's place, you just need to put the things in the wine jar and steam them.

This will save a lot of trouble, and it is impossible for the queen mother to step on it. I made an agreement with Wei Guo at the beginning of the morning (8 o'clock in the morning), so it is very likely that the queen mother will come here after 9:[-] in the future.

The queen mother can't just work in the kitchen by herself, she has to come out to salute or something, and after all the materials for Buddha Jumping Wall are processed, she doesn't need to look at it most of the time, so it is convenient to greet the queen mother and so on.

What's more, grandma doesn't want to accompany me today, only two maidservants and a few children from my family are with me, so I have to be more vigilant, so that Hou Jing won't trip me up again, eating is the easiest thing to do hands and feet.

After some busy work, I went to take a bath again, and then dressed up.

Today is a family banquet, so I don’t need to wear court clothes anymore. Man Yue chose a light yellow bijia, inside is an apricot white collar top with a collar, the cuffs are embroidered with beautiful orchids, and her lower body is a lotus root color. Floral embroidered dress.

The texture is still cotton, and the world thinks silk is good, but Man Yue doesn't like silk, and only likes the simplest cotton.And the cotton cloth on her body is not simple, it is blended, and people have tried many kinds of materials to get this kind of relatively stiff cloth, which is not as good as polyester cloth, but it is all natural, breathable and comfortable to wear.

The embroidery on it was embroidered for her by Mrs. Chen and her eldest sister. From outsiders’ eyes, the cotton clothes worn by poor people look aristocratic for the full moon. Today’s young ladies in Ningbo change out a piece of cotton cloth every time they see the full moon. Clothes are all rushing to imitate.

The aesthetics of modern people may be different from that of the ancients, but the feeling of beauty is the same.A change of neckline can make a difference, and simple clothes can be gorgeous with a little effort.

After changing clothes, her hair is still in a double bun, but this double bun is also different from the traditional one. The full moon has made some changes, and it immediately looks cute and cute. Simply inserting a flower on the head, the girl is full of beauty.

Dressed up, got in the car, and set off...

 Note 1: Yamen Naval Battle (the ancient text is "Ya", at present), also known as Yashan Naval Battle, Yamen Battle, Yamen Battle, etc., was a battle between the Song Dynasty army and the Yuan army at the end of the Song Dynasty. After this battle, the Song Dynasty completely perish.

  Note 2: After Japan heard the news of the death of the Song Dynasty, the emperor mourned. Starting from the emperor, the people of the whole country mourned the death of the Song Dynasty in three months.And so the Battle of Wenyong began.When the war progressed to a fierce stage, the Yuan army landed in Hakata Bay, Japan in two routes, and the Japanese army was defeated.The Yuan army took the opportunity to pursue, but because the deputy commander Liu Fuheng was injured by an arrow in the pursuit, the offensive weakened, and it was getting late, so the Yuan army stopped attacking.

  That night, the Yuan army held a military meeting.Most of the generals believed that the situation was unfavorable. Many people overestimated the number of Japanese troops, and they did not send reinforcements in the country, so they advocated retreat.So Xin Du ordered to retreat, but unfortunately, on the night of the retreat, a typhoon suddenly struck, and the mighty Yuan Dynasty army was completely swallowed by the strong wind... During this campaign, the Yuan Army lost more than 1.3 troops, among them absolutely Most did not die in battle, but in the storm.As a result, the Yuan Dynasty no longer dared to rashly launch attacks on Japan.The Japanese believed that the typhoon was saved by the heavens, so they worshiped it and called it "Kamikaze".This is the origin of the name "Kamikaze Commando" in the Japanese army during World War II.
