Chapter 14 Aesthetics are the biggest obstacle to stallions
"Here..." Zhang Xuanqing agreed, put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw Liu Shenwei standing respectfully outside the door just like yesterday.
The difference is that Liu Shenwei did not get the note today. Seeing Zhang Xuanqing open the door, he grinned and said, "Good morning, Taoist priest, Master, let me wake you up."
Zhang Xuanqing nodded, no longer thinking about his body, at least he is still alive now. After studying yesterday, he could understand a little about the words of this world. He spoke to Liu Shenwei and walked to the dining room to meet Sun Simiao.
Today, Sun Simiao was also sitting in the main seat of the room wearing a simple Taoist robe. When he saw Zhang Xuanqing enter the door, he first led Zhang Xuanqing to sit down, and then asked Zhang Xuanqing how comfortable he lived.
After dinner, Sun Simiao called Liu Shenwei, gave him some money, and then said to Zhang Xuanqing: "Brother Guan Dao only has this piece of clothing, and there is nothing else on his body. It happened that a few days ago, Shenwei and I made summer clothes at Tailor Wang. Calculate the days, and it should be done today. Brother Dao might as well go with Shenwei and let him Tailor Wang help Brother Dao also make a fool of himself. How about Dao?"
In ancient times, there was no ready-to-wear shop, only cloth shops. Usually, when you buy cloth, you will take it home, and tailor it by the female family at home, or go to the tailor shop to hire a tailor. Sun Simiao and Liu Shenwei have two bachelors, but there are no female family members, so they all look for "tailor Wang" in the tailor shop.
Zhang Xuanqing hurriedly thanked him. His outfit is now hot, and he has not changed his clothes. He thought to himself that Sun Simiao is truly a great master of medicine, and he is responsible for food, accommodation and buying clothes.
As for what these things have to do with the King of Medicine... He cares about which one, and some eat and some wear it!
Liu Shenwei was a little excited. He was at the age of playing, but he usually helped in the clinic, and even if he went out, he followed his master to consult. When he learned that he could go shopping today, his master gave him money. Although part of it was bought cloth to make clothes for Zhang Xuanqing, he was still happy.
It was still early now and there were no people on the street. Liu Shenwei first took Zhang Xuanqing to recite the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" for an hour. It was not until more and more people came in the clinic that he smiled and pulled Zhang Xuanqing out.
Well, you are quite good at cheating.
There were people coming and going on the streets, carrying water, selling vegetables, bored shopping, pushing carts to transport goods, men, women, old and young.
Although it was not the first day that Zhang Xuanqing had been shopping seriously for the first time.
Looking at the faces of Tang people on the street, he couldn't help but think that the novel says that the Tang Dynasty was open and there were many beauties in ancient times. The remnants of the thought of never seeing the beauties after traveling through time came up. A pair of thieves could not stop searching carefully among the crowd.
Slowly tied skirt with half-exposed breasts?
No!
Pink chest half-covers the snow?
No!
My chest is like snow and a flower?
Still not!
I saw that although there were many big girls and little wives on the streets, they were all wearing tighter clothes than him and dressed simply. They looked like poor families. As for the high-waisted red and black skirt? Small flower-double-breasted narrow-sleeved jacket? Cloud-head satin brocade half-arm shirt? Sorry, none of them were.
It would be fine if you don't wear it well, after all, there is still the natural beauty that is hard to give up on. Unfortunately, Zhang Xuanqing still didn't see any of them.
Perhaps because of the different aesthetic angles, although the Tang Dynasty before Yang Yuhuan did not regard fat as beauty, its clothes were wide and big, without showing its chest or waist. Standing there was like a bucket.
Especially the high-waisted ruddy skirt, also called the chest-length ruddy skirt, which is the kind of ruddy clipping the skirt into the armpit. If it is top-notch silk and satin, it is okay, it is floating and swaying, and it is very swaying. Zhang Xuanqing has seen photos in modern times and likes it very much. But if it is ordinary fabric... Think about Korean clothes, the two are similar, with a small head on the top and a skirt standing out from the armpit on the bottom. Can this thing be seen as beautiful? Even if it is pretty good, wearing such a outfit makes people not interested.
After asking Liu Shenwei indirectly, he realized that women in this era were still very "polite". Unlike Wu Zetian and Li Longji who suffered disaster, even the nobles did not have any "slowly tied their silk skirts and half-exposed breasts" in this era.
The reason why the clothes are loose and loose is mainly to cover the two balls of flesh on the chest and the two balls of flesh on the butt.
At this time, no normal woman could tell that her body was delicate and elegant when wearing clothes.
In fact, Zhang Xuanqing didn't know that even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, only noble women could wear open-breasted shirts, concubines and princesses allowed to expose their breasts, and singing and dancing prostitutes could also please scholars with half-nude breasts. Women in ordinary people were not allowed to have half-nude breasts at any time.
Everyone said that the Tang Dynasty was open, and big girls and wives could go out to the streets. Yes, they could go out to the streets, but those who went out to the streets were ordinary women who relied on their own to earn money. The ladies of wealthy families generally followed ethics and did not show up in public.
For wealthy families, as women, they should not show up in public. Being seen by irrelevant men is a very disappointing thing.
Don’t say that you go out to show it to strangers. Even if you stay at your home, if you don’t know male guests, as long as you are not a blood relative within a few generations, women should not meet such "outsiders".
For example, Wu Zetian was about to get the throne in her hand. She had to habitually lower a curtain in the middle when discussing government affairs with male ministers. Comrade Li Linfu had an open mind and found a few young talents to come to his home and let his daughters choose their own son-in-law. This is a manifestation of "unfair family style" that is ridiculed by the public. Moreover, the daughter of the Li family did not dare to inspect the goods in person, so she just hid behind the screen and peeped at it.
Therefore, the so-called "free and open" social atmosphere is only to a certain extent that everyone turns a blind eye to these minor violations of ethics and doesn't pursue them so seriously.
For example, when aristocratic women have to go out to the streets, such as when their parents are sick or their younger siblings are about to get married, they have to go back to help their parents. Then, according to the rules, they have to take their maids in a two-wheeled car or a human sedan chair, put down the curtains and prevent outsiders from seeing them. The husband takes his slaves on a horse outside and escorts them all the way back to their parents' homes until the day comes.
Of course, there are exceptions. There are always some unruly people in the world. In addition, the people do not procurate officials and do not prosecute them. Occasionally, some noble daughters will come out with their maids, ride horses for a walk, or a group of women will go out together.
However, when Zhang Xuanqing finally saw a woman dressed in luxurious clothes, with moderate behavior, and a pretty graceful figure when the wind blew, he immediately became Sparta again.
I saw the other party wearing a Lingyun bun and wearing a fairy skirt. Every move was really good, but what happened to the layer of **** on his face? What happened to the two balls of plateau red on it?
After watching for a long time, Zhang Xuanqing had to recognize a fact: as a modern young man born under the red flag, growing in the spring breeze, and being influenced by the four major Asian magics and the so-called "no makeup" of celebrities, the so-called "no makeup" actually has a layer of foundation, you can't even see a beautiful woman when you return to ancient times.
Even if the other person looks really good, he will look like a ghost after putting on makeup.
Don’t believe it? Don’t believe it. Think about the female stars in the 1950s and 1960s. Try to ask a post-00s to say she is beautiful.
Just talk about the popular female star now, you look for photos of her for more than ten years, and look at her makeup.
The aesthetic differences have been so big in more than ten years, let alone more than 1,300 years?
Anyway, Zhang Xuanqing accepted his fate.
He now finally knew why Li Shimin stipulated that men and women had to get married at 20 or 15: women, especially ancient women, had a very short time to maintain their beauty.
Take the common people as an example. A fifteen-year-old girl has grown up and doesn’t need to wear makeup, and she also has a sense of water. From fifteen to twenty-five, women look better and better every day. After the age of twenty-five, their appearance begins to decline, and ordinary people do not eat well, wear bad clothes, and they fall faster.
Besides, women from wealthy families eat well and dress well. In theory, they can also look at them. But what are ancient cosmetics? Lead powder! Apply a layer of lead powder on your face every day. It is good to not get poisoned by lead. Can you still look at the face after washing your face?
In short, Zhang Xuanqing was filled with admiration for the time traveling seniors: he could do whatever kind of woman, and he could see any kind of woman as a beauty. He followed Liu Shenwei honestly, went to the tailor shop first, found Tailor Wang, asked him to measure his body size, and then walked back with Liu Shenwei and Sun Simiao's clothes.
It was already noon. Liu Shenwei was calm and took Zhang Xuanqing to a restaurant, turned around and smiled at him, saying, "Master Zhang, this Zuixiang Building is the number one restaurant in Huayuan County, let's go in and have something to eat?"
Zhang Xuanqing hesitated and said, "Isn't this good? Master Ling is still at home..."
"It's okay." Liu Shenwei waved his hand and said with a smirk: "That... Master said, I must let me treat you well. Well, we'll take some back after the meal."
Zhang Xuanqing blinked: "It's good." He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Only those who believe this are the words.
But he really wanted to see what this ancient hotel looked like. Since someone treated her to her, a fool would refuse.
When you enter Zuixiang Tower, you will be greeted by the waiter: "Two Taoist masters, please come inside."
Liu Shenwei nodded, led Zhang Xuanqing to a seat next to the window, ordered four or five dishes in a row, and said, "Pick up your 'Zuixianglou wine' to a pot."
"Okay~~~" the waiter agreed and retreated.
Liu Shenwei explained to Zhang Xuanqing: "The word "生女" in the '生女' is different. The fragrance of Zuixianglou refers to the fragrance of vegetables; the hometown of Zuixianglou refers to the drunkenness after drinking this wine. Even in a foreign land, it is like being in his hometown."
