The night was as cool as water, and the night wind rustled the green bamboo clumps on the east window. The lanterns hanging under the eaves of the back porch swayed in the wind, and the flickering candlelight flickered out circles of soft light.

In the room, Xiao Ying's flawless and flawless face reflects her soft, gentle and peerless beauty. She has a graceful and beautiful appearance. At this moment, she is wearing a light beige skirt, with her temples rolled up, and she is indescribably beautiful.

, this kind of beauty is not inferior to that of the peerless Empress Xiao, but it still lacks a bit of plump, mature and beautiful charm.

"Madam, is my embroidery ugly?" Pei Shuying asked with a blushing face when she saw that the eldest lady was carefully looking at the embroidery she had embroidered stitch by stitch.

Compared with Xiao Ying, Liu Rumei's embroidery is lifelike and vivid. Her embroidery is really hard to describe and unsightly. Look at the dragons, phoenixes and pythons embroidered by others, as if they are alive.

Looking at the Golden Crow embroidered by myself, it is really terrible. If it were not for the so-called Golden Crow embroidered by herself, I am afraid that even Pei Shuying herself would not be able to recognize it.

It's so embarrassing.

Xiao Ying looked at the chubby thing on her hand and almost laughed out loud, but she had seen her mother-in-law's embroidery after all, so the things Pei Shuying embroidered were considered good.

When Xiao Ying looked at Liu Rumei and Pei Shuying's embroidery, it was not to check their "homework", nor was it a whim, but the four of them could no longer wear the formal clothes they used to wear. The reason was that Yang Guang felt that the existing clothes could not reflect the Han family.

The lofty demeanor of the dynasty could not reflect the beauty of the Han dynasty's costumes and the depth of civilization, so a new dress order was issued, extending the palace inside and outside, and the government and the public abandoned the previous dress rules, and ordered the world to "charter the ancient system, create clothes and crowns, and

When the emperor catches Xu Zao, he wears uniforms and badges of different grades." A strict clothing hierarchy was established.

The emperor wore the Tongtian Crown, Yuanyuan Crown, Wuguan, Pi Bian, etc. according to different occasions. The Tongtian Crown worn by the emperor was decorated with Jinbo Mountain and other ornaments. Pi Bian was also decorated with twelve beads (qi), and the expression was expressed according to the number of beads.

The quality is high and low.

All civil and military officials wear a crimson gauze singlet, a white gauze middle singlet, a crimson gauze covering the knees, and white stockings and black boots. The Jinxian crown worn is divided into official grades, three beams above the third rank, two beams above the fifth rank, and one beam below the fifth rank.

The official wears a high-mountain crown, and official positions such as censor, doctor, and secretary wear a zhi crown. The sacrificial attire is Xuan Yi Shang. Men's official uniforms include a single coat with a semicircular hard-lined "Yong collar" on the inner collar. Military uniforms are of the fifth grade or above.

Purple, scarlet and green below the sixth rank, cyan for minor officials, yellow for soldiers, and soap for merchants.

The official style of official uniform is mainly based on the popular trousers pleats. This kind of dress standard is folded collar, narrow clothes, big sleeves, wide-mouthed trousers, and belts mostly below the knees.

Officials can do whatever they want after "off duty". As long as the color of their clothes and accessories match their social class, they can wear official uniforms, or they can wear round-necked robes with narrow sleeves and waistbands.

They wear leather belts, a flat scarf on their head, and soft boots on their feet. There are also Wei and Jin Dynasty styles such as wide clothes with big sleeves, long skirts and high shoes, and narrow-sleeved blouses for easy mobility, etc. to choose from.

The same is true for the common people. As long as they wear the right color and the style is not the official uniform, everything else is free.

As for women's clothing, the queen is made of coats, court clothes, green clothes, and red clothes; other imperial wives are also based on their grades, colors, accessories, patterns, and styles, and there are not many restrictions; while palace maids and imperial wives

The personal maidservants wear half-arms (that is, short-sleeved clothes are put on the outside of long-sleeved clothes), and twelve torn skirts, also known as "fairy skirts", and folk women wear green skirts...

At the same time, Yang Guang ordered his ministers and people to no longer use bright yellow, and bright yellow became the exclusive color of the emperor.

Under the emperor, princes and officials of the third rank and above wear purple clothes with gold and jade belts; the fourth rank is dark crimson, the fifth rank is light crimson, with gold belts; the sixth rank is dark green, the seventh rank is light green, with silver belts; the eighth rank is dark green, and the eighth rank is light green.

The first grade is dark green, the ninth grade is light blue, with a copper belt; the common people's clothes are khaki, white, with an iron belt; the slaves, including domestic slaves, can only wear black clothes and black belts.

This regulation differentiated the clothing of each class, and formally formed a clothing color system consisting of bright yellow, purple, crimson (vermilion), green, cyan, khaki, white, and black. According to the regulations, people of all classes can only

Use the clothing color of this level and the lower level, and cannot use the clothing color of the level above your own level.

This is not because Yang Guang acted alone and messed around, but since ancient times, there have been strict distinctions in clothes and colors. However, during the period from the Five Hus to the Sui Dynasty, the Han civilization suffered unprecedented impact and destruction.

The wind prevailed in the world and became popular, and the chaos of Hu Feng suppressing Han culture appeared in all aspects.

After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian has been committed to restoring Han culture. In order to show that the people of the Sui Dynasty are the best race in the world, and to make the people of the Sui Dynasty proud of being the people of the Sui Dynasty, he is not allowed to enter the country.

They were allowed to be criticized by the Han people in the bustling city for their Han costumes, making them feel ashamed that they were not Sui people amid ridicule.

Therefore, Yang Guang's reform in clothing was actually a further standardization, reversing the cultural situation of Hu and Han in clothing. At the same time, this was also the general trend of the feudal dynasty. It was not an emperor who deliberately pursued beauty and form according to his own preferences.

unity on.

As for the princes of the Sui Dynasty, their official and fictitious positions are all above the third rank, so they can wear any color below purple. However, in addition to their official positions, they are also princes of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, in order to reflect the differences between the royal family and officials with foreign surnames, Yang Guang

The difference is that princes and princes are allowed to embroider coiled dragons, volting dragons, crouching dragons, and descending dragons on their official robes, but they can no longer use rising dragons, flying dragons, and positive dragons. After the county prince, official uniforms are uniformly embroidered with pythons.

Generally speaking, those who are affected are the bureaucratic class and famous families. However, the common people, whose family background is not good, pay more attention to practicality and warmth in clothes, and do not deliberately pursue gorgeous colors and novel styles. The commonly used clothing colors are

After the restructuring, red, green, khaki, white, and black can continue to be used; in addition, during Yang Jian's lifetime, improvements had been made from the bottom up, so Yang Guang's decree did not cause any harm to the common people.

Before Yang Ji issued this decree, in addition to being very solemn and formal, imitating the grand crowns and costumes of the Han Dynasty, all other official uniforms and formal attires were full of flying dragons running around, not only two dragons playing with beads, flying dragons in the sky and other auspicious signs

There are clothes with patterns, including dragons and phoenixes singing together, flying dragons and phoenixes, and phoenixes dancing in the sky. Anyway, you can make them as gorgeous and beautiful as you want; now these will definitely be destroyed.

In the same way, the formal attires of the three Xiao Ying sisters also had to be destroyed and redone.

Although the court has given them one year to rectify, and will also send the four of them new official uniforms and formal clothes, there are only two sets of summer clothes and winter clothes at most. They can't wear those four sets all the time, right? So in

After receiving the order and drawings, Xiao Ying started organizing.

They women who stay at home are not in a hurry, they can just put on their regular clothes and get there. However, Yang Ji, his bodyguards, and servants have been walking outside, and they must change into new clothes as soon as possible to avoid being betrayed.

Servants such as personal guards and slaves are not very complicated, as long as the clothes and colors are right; as a prince, Yang Ji is always under the attention of people, and there are many people who hope that he will make mistakes; Xiao Ying decided to

The sisters personally made several sets of official uniforms and formal attire for Yang Ji. After they had a perfect model, they asked trustworthy people to follow the pattern.

Xiao Ying saw that Pei Shuying was proficient in chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, poetry, and song, and was not bad at cooking. She thought that the female red embroidery was also very good, so she asked her to bring her own embroidery. If it was good, then she would

Let's embroider a dragon together. Unexpectedly, what she saw in Pei Shuying's room were all other people's embroidery, and Pei Shuying herself was not a female worker at all. This ugly Jinwu, if she hadn't said it herself, Xiao Ying would have

Don't know what the hell it is.

"Although it's a bit unsightly, I can barely do it." Pei Shuying faced the strange eyes of the sisters and said coquettishly: "Is it okay?"

Opposite, Xiao Ying and Liu Rumei looked at her with serious expressions.

Pei Shuying felt a strong desire to survive. She took a deep breath, puffed her cheeks slightly, turned her head, and said confidently: "Maybe it is different from everyone else's aesthetics, but..."

She lowered her head silently, Xiafei pursed her lips, and said in an ant-like voice: "No one has ever seen the Golden Crow. I think the Golden Crow looks like this."

"Pfft!" Xiao Ying and Liu Rumei couldn't help but laughed in unison.

Xiao Ying smiled and said: "I also think the Golden Crow is like this. Little things like the coiling dragon, the subduing dragon, the crouching dragon, and the subduing dragon can be embroidered by Rumei and I."

Pei Shuying waved her hand grandly: "Then I'll let you go."

"...!" Xiao Ying and Liu Rumei looked at each other and couldn't help laughing wildly.

Pei Shuying couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, I've seen even more 'different' embroidery." Xiao Ying said with a smile.

"Whose?" Pei Shuying felt that she had found an organization.

"This, this... it's hard to say." Xiao Ying said sarcastically.

Pei Shuying was a problem child with great curiosity. When she heard this, she coquettishly begged: "Auntie, we sisters serve the same husband together, share the same room, and sleep on the same bed. We will be inseparable together for decades to come. We

We are closer than real sisters, what is there to say? I helped you last night..."

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Ying almost died of embarrassment.

"My heart hurts so much that I can't breathe. I can't find the traces you left. I look at you helplessly, but I can't do anything to let you disappear at the end of the world." At this moment, Yang Ji's voice came from outside, and the song sang in the quiet night.

Very clear.

The lyrics were obviously very sad, but they gave him a cheerful feeling when he sang them.

The three women put down the objects in their hands and walked towards the door in unison.

"Auntie, Lang Jun sings very nicely, but the tune is a bit weird." Pei Shuying walked to the door and saw Yang Ji walking from a distance, so she said to Xiao Ying.

"Lang Jun likes to be funny. It's not like you don't know." Xiao Ying smiled and sighed: "I feel that Lang Jun sang my heartfelt voice. Now I just call it 'heartache so bad that I can't breathe'."

"how do I say this?"

"Sage Yi Fu ordered that our official uniforms will be destroyed!" Xiao Ying looked at Pei Shuying and Liu Rumei, and said sadly: "You two were appointed not long ago, and there are not many official uniforms, but the official uniforms of Lang Jun and me are

There are several rooms in the service, and each piece is made of Sichuan brocade and white silk. The pattern is either gold or silver thread, so each piece is worth thousands of gold. If grandma's clothes are also included, our family will suffer heavy losses this time.

.Alas! I, I am so heartbroken that I can’t breathe.”

"Hehe!" Pei Shuying pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Mom, your husband doesn't like to wear fancy clothes. He must not have any formal clothes. The losses should be yours and my mother's clothes."

"Then you are wrong." Liu Rumei next to her said with a smile: "Mr. Lang has the most formal clothes in our family. I'm afraid we don't have as many as him."

"Ah? How is that possible?" Pei Shuying didn't believe it.

"Grandma and aunt hardly make any formal clothes for themselves, they only make them for husband." Liu Rumei said: "But husband, he can wear whatever is comfortable for him. If it is not necessary, he will not wear formal clothes at all, so 99% of the time

The formal clothes are all new.”

"That's it..." Pei Shuying rolled her eyes and said to Xiao Ying: "Auntie, it would be a pity if they were burned. We can take those dragons away and fold the clothes into crossbow protection clothes and winter clothes. As long as these have

If you put the eye-catching clothes inside, they won't look unsightly."

Xiao Ying's eyes lit up, but then she thought about it and said, "Let's destroy it."

"Why?" Pei Shuying wondered.

"If you take away the silk threads, the remaining eyes will still be one after another." Xiao Ying said: "We don't need to leave ourselves endless troubles just to save this little money."

"Oh!" Pei Shuying nodded. It's true that you can't lose the big because of the small, so it's better to be cautious.

…

Yang Ji approached with a lantern and saw the three of them standing in front of the door. He had just heard them chattering from a distance, so he handed the lantern to Qiu Shui who came up and asked with a smile.

: "What makes you so happy? Telling it makes me happy too."

"During the day today, Aniang sent a letter from the eagle, saying that the imperial court regulates the dress, color, and uniforms from saints to slaves. I believe it won't be long before the imperial edict will arrive in Zhangye..." Xiao Ying
