Shortly after Xue Hong was granted the title of Marquis, the marquis court uniforms and daily uniforms tailor-made for him were delivered.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were certain regulations on the dress and travel of marquises in the Ming Dynasty. Marquis attire was set according to the ceremonial system.
First of all, marquis clothing has certain requirements for color. Commonly used colors include brocade, green, crimson, and purple. In addition, there are also pure white, jet black, light yellow and other colors. Among them, brocade is the most commonly used color and is suitable for marquis to wear.
Most of the clothing is based on brocade color, and other colors are matched with it.
In addition, there are certain regulations for the headwear of marquises in the Ming Dynasty. The marquises must wear a crown or two jade crowns with buttons, and there are different requirements for length. In addition, the marquises of the Ming Dynasty must also wear a cloak, which shows their true appearance.
symbol of.
At Baochai's request, Xue Hong chose one of the brocade-colored regular clothes and wore them.
The Marquis's clothes are divided into several layers and are quite cumbersome to put on, so maids usually need to wear them to help them get dressed.
But Baochai asked the maid to leave. She put on Xue Hong's regular clothes with her own hands, arranged her hair crown, smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes, and dropped a white jade pendant on Xue Hong's waist.
Xue Hong was probably used to getting along with Baochai and didn't feel anything was wrong. He opened his hands and let Baochai tidy up his appearance.
To be honest, fortunately, it is not the early Ming Dynasty, when officials' clothing specifications and other requirements were too loose.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was called a pervert. Even the pajamas worn by ministers at home were required to have clear specifications! It was not OK to wear the wrong one.
Xue Hong has a Taoist identity and is considered a layman at home, so he occasionally wears a lotus crown on his head, which is matched with a brocade robe, which makes the whole person taller and taller, and is otherworldly.
For a moment, Baochai and all the maids were dazzled.
Normally, being granted the title of Marquis is a very cumbersome matter, and you have to go through the procedures and pay homage to your ancestors.
But the key point is that Xue Hong is now the ancestor in the family tree. He can only burn incense for himself during the New Year. Who should he worship?
Therefore, in the past few days, there was a bloody killing outside Xue Mansion, but Xue Hong was busy coaxing Baochai inside Xue Mansion.
Since Xue Hong's decree came down, Baochai has been in a bad state of mind these days. Xue Hong was worried that she was afraid that he would be alienated from her in the future, so he coaxed Baochai like a child these days.
Xue Hong even agreed that the Hou Mansion would set aside the best courtyard for Baochai to live in, and even leave everything in the house to be taken care of by Baochai. By the way, Baochai could practice his housekeeping skills and expand his connections.
The main reason why Xue Hong handed over the power of the housekeeper to Baochai was because he didn't think he could find a happy future wife in a short time.
Xue Hong doesn't believe in love at first sight, either in her past life or in this life. To put it bluntly, it's just love at first sight. Only after getting along for a long time, both parties can understand each other and tolerate each other's shortcomings, so that it can last long.
What?? Urgent marriage? Who can urge Xue Hong to marry? Just kidding. He himself is the ancestor, he is the patriarch, he is the dictator of the whole clan. Who can urge him to marry when he is the first fragrance of the New Year?
Besides, with Dahuang Ting's cultivation, after Xue Hong breaks through to land immortality in the future, his lifespan will start at a minimum of 300, with no upper limit. Naturally, Xue Hong does not need to be busy reproducing offspring and passing on his will.
When Baochai heard that Xue Hong had temporarily handed over the stewardship of the Hou Mansion to her for safekeeping, Baochai's handsome and beautiful face showed surprise at first, then joy, then shyness, and finally determination. It seemed that she had made a complete decision in her heart.
.
In the past few days, Baochai often made some simple desserts for Xue Hong, or stayed with Xue Hong and told Xue Hong interesting things.
Baochai took over almost all of Xue Hong's affairs, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Xue Hong was a little at a loss at first, but because he was worried that rejecting Baochai would make Baochai think too much, he acquiesced. After a few days, Xue Hong became more or less accustomed to Baochai taking care of things for him.
Baochai stretched out her bare hand, passed a strand of hair from Xue Hong's temple to the back, and accidentally touched Xue Hong's cheek with her cold jade hand. The two touches of warmth, coldness and warmth were intertwined, making the actions of both parties feel...
One meal.
Xue Hong joked: "My sister is really handy. I have left everything for my brother to my sister these days, which really saves me a lot of worry. If I leave my sister in the future, my brother may not be used to it."
When Baochai heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger: "Then Baochai will never leave Brother Hong, okay?"
Xue Hong also thought that Baochai was acting coquettishly with him, and said, "Okay! When the time comes, you will have no problem raising Baochai for your brother for the rest of your life."
When Baochai heard this, he smiled slyly and stretched out his slender jade finger: "Brother, you have to keep your word, so why not pull a hook?"
Xue Hong also stretched out his fingers and hooked them with Baochai: "Okay. I hook up with you for my brother. If you lie to others, you will turn into a puppy."
But Xue Hong didn't know that Baochai was not joking when he said he would never leave.
Unknowingly, Xue Hong has become accustomed to Baochai taking care of everything by her side. Xue Hong, who was single for more than 20 years in her previous life, didn't realize that this kind of relationship is completely unique between husband and wife.
Just when Baochai was immersed in the joy of making a vow with Xue Hong, a maid came to repay her favor.
"Your Majesty! Your Highness Prince Fu is clamoring to see you. The servants had no choice but to lead His Highness into the main hall and then come to report."
Xue Hong: "Are you making a fuss? What was the expression on his face when he came?"
The maid thought for a while: "I feel a little wronged, and my eyes are a little red, it seems..."
Xue Hong: "I knew that I must have been severely beaten by society... No, I was deceived by His Majesty. I will go now."
Baochai: "Brother, you can go and do your own business. I'm going to go have fun with sister Daiyu."
Xue Hong: "Well, okay, pay attention to safety on the road. By the way, if anyone dares to bully you, come back and tell me."
…
In the main hall of the Xue Mansion, Zhu Hui was gritting his teeth and sitting in his seat, drinking tea.
Xue Hong: "Hey? Who made His Highness angry?"
When Zhu Hui saw Xue Hong coming, he slammed the tea cup down: "Junchen, you don't know! My father, who is over fifty years old, is still lying to others! My mother is also lying to my father.
.??????·(????????????????????????)????·??”
Xue Hong glanced at the fragments of the tea cup on the ground and said: "The top quality made in the official kiln, three or two taels of silver, the cost price, thank you."
Zhu Hui was stunned: "Aren't we friends, aren't we buddies? Not only did you not comfort me when I was so sad, but you also asked me for money? Do you agree?"
Xue Hong sat next to Zhu Hui and said helplessly: "Then what can I do? Can't I lead you to His Majesty to steal the money back?
Besides, I guessed that the poor rats in the treasury would throw a carrot before leaving, so how could your Majesty return your money?"
Zhu Hui: "But my father is obviously rich now!! And he promised me!"
Xue Hong: "Haha, then you still don't understand middle-aged men. In their eyes, breaking a promise with your son is not called cheating."
Zhu Hui: "I originally thought I could make a fortune, but now I'm exhausted."
Xue Hong touched his chin thoughtfully: "Isn't it right? I remember your family is quite rich? You are poor with only 200,000 taels??"
Zhu Hui: "What the hell...my father also asked me to borrow money before, but judging from the current situation, I guess he will never pay it back. (╥╯﹏╰╥)??"
Xue Hong wanted to tell Zhu Hui directly: You only care about eating and not fighting! Why don't you dare to fight with His Majesty?
Zhu Hui suddenly slammed the table and shed tears: "Junchen! When are you going to attack Japan for money? I will go on an expedition with the army!"
Xue Hong: "Let me correct two questions in your words, Your Highness.
First, we are friendly neighbors with Japan. What is robbing? It is called rescuing the suffering people of Japan, which is the style of China.
Secondly, did you forget that you were seasick? If you got on the ship like this, your Japanese life would be gone."
