Chapter 143 Misunderstanding
When the setting sun meets the new moon, night falls unexpectedly.
In view of today's poor condition, Zhu Pingan left the word quit drinking on the desk and went back to bed to sleep. In the current state, I really can't practice calligraphy and read books, and my mind is no longer clear.
In the dead of night, everything falls asleep.
On the second day, Zhu Pingan was woken up by a sound of knocking and beating, and rubbed his eyes. His slightly drunk head from yesterday finally regained his sobriety at this moment. He had a long-lost sense of clarity. He would not dare to drink like that again in the future, at least before the crown ceremony. Can't drink like that.
The Ming Dynasty was the most ceremonial dynasty. Emperor Yuanzhang personally issued an edict to determine the crown ceremony, and the emperor's imperial literati were worried about formulating detailed crown ceremony regulations. The abolished crown ceremony in the Yuan Dynasty was surging in the Ming Dynasty, and it became popular from the capital to the countryside. In the Ming Dynasty, especially scholars, they had to be crowned, and after being crowned, they would be bestowed with inscriptions by the elders, declaring they were adults.
Just didn’t know why there was such a beating outside, Zhu Pingan got up and put on his clothes, scooped a scoop of clean water from the bucket and poured it into the basin, ready to wash. Just after putting his hand in the water, Zhu Pingan heard knocking on the door mixed with noisy knocking.
Who is so unscrupulous, messing around so early in the morning, disturbing people's dreams.
Zhu Ping shook off the drops of water on his hand, walked to the door and opened the door, and then saw the shopkeeper looking at him with a pleasing smile. Behind him were two servants in red uniforms, one holding a red paper, One of them was holding a small gong with a bright smile on his face.
"You two servants, this is Mr. Zhu Ping'an." The shopkeeper nodded and introduced to the two servants. Then he clasped his hands together and congratulated Zhu Pingan with a smile on his face.
Boys have passed three levels of strict examinations, and only those who pass the exam can be awarded the title of scholar. It is really not easy to be a scholar, so after Tongsheng passed the examination of a scholar, there will be a special person to announce the good news—annunciator, who will come to announce the good news.
Zhu Pingan looked at the guard who announced the good news, slightly surprised. Although I knew that there would be good news, didn't the good news always go to my home? Why did I come to the inn?
"Don't be surprised, Mr. Zhu. The person who announced the good news went to your mansion from Yingtian yesterday. We two brothers also went through the motions. Congratulations to Mr. Zhu on the Anqing case in high school. You are young and promising, and your future is boundless."
Among the officers, the officer holding the red paper was eloquent, and he arched his hands and said congratulations.
"Thank you for your auspicious words. If you have trouble, I will come here. A little thought is not a respect. Please buy a cup of tea to moisten your throat." Zhu Pingan returned the greeting with a smile, and then took out two corners of broken silver from his sleeve bag, without a trace Throw it into the hands of the two guards.
The two guards made excuses and accepted it. Touching the broken silver in their palms, their smiles became even brighter.
"Then the two of us will be disrespectful, oh. I almost forgot the business, the young master will go to Jiangnan Gongyuan to write a confession at noon today, that is, write his age, hometown, and three generations of resumes. And you must indicate what kind of person you are. Whether the face is fat, thin, wide, narrow, or round, whether there is a beard, etc., are all annual conventions. After the young master writes his personal confession, it will be reviewed by the instructor and stamped with the seal, and then it will be sent to the proposing officer. Of course, the young master only You just need to finish writing the confession." The guard holding the red paper put the broken silver into his sleeve and patted his head. Then he explained to Zhu Ping'an carefully.
"The young master is already a scholar. You might as well change into a student uniform when you go to the Jiangnan Gongyuan at noon. In case someone looks for the young master." Another guard with a small gong was careful and reminded me.
"Thank you for the reminder." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands in thanks.
The student's clothing reminded by this officer is not a simple clothing. There are clear regulations on the material, style, size, color and workmanship of the student's clothing, and it is an official regulation. Wide-sleeved soap fringes, soap strips and soft towels hanging down. Those who are sent to prison will not change their obedience."
Actually, according to the regulations, scholars can only wear student uniforms if they are awarded the status of a student supervisor. Violations of the regulations for wearing student uniforms will be punished, but since the death of Emperor Hongwu, this rule has become less stringent.
Although the robes that his mother Chen made for herself were worn by scholars, they were not standard uniforms for students. After seeing off the shopkeeper and the two messengers who announced the good news, Zhu Pingan went downstairs to find a clothing store on the street. A set of student uniforms for emergencies, but I don't want to leave a bad impression on the first day of becoming a student.
Zhu Ping'an has been paying attention to restaurants and the like a few days ago, but he has never paid attention to clothing stores.
After Zhu Pingan came out of the inn, he randomly searched in a direction to find a clothing store. There are many shops on the street, but clothing stores are very rare.
After walking for a long distance, I found a cloth shop. The business was not good, and the shop was deserted.
Zhu Ping'an walked in, and the shop assistants came over to greet him in a listless manner, "What do you need, my lord, we have all kinds of cloth, silk and satin in our shop."
"I want to buy a ready-made suit." Zhu Pingan said.
"This store also has ready-made clothes." The store clerk led Zhu Ping'an inside, "Please take a look, my lord. Is there anyone you like?"
"I want to buy a set of baby uniforms." Zhu Pingan looked at the clothes recommended by the shop assistant and shook his head slightly. None of them were baby uniforms.
Hearing this, the store clerk lost interest and waved his hand, "I've never done a small shop for student uniforms before. To tell you the truth, I'm afraid there won't be any student uniforms that you need nearby. If you really need them, you might as well go to Qinhuai River. Go to the other side to have a look, there are frequent patrons of scholars, maybe there is a student uniform that the young master needs."
Zhu Ping'an came out of this store, found another one, and got the same answer.
Well, it seems that I can only go to the other side of the Qinhuai River once.
Zhu Pingan smiled wryly, and then walked to the other side of the Qinhuai River. There is only one bridge connecting the Qinhuai River nearby, and it is the bridge that says "A gentleman does not cross a bridge, but a bridge is not a gentleman". This is Zhu Pingan's first time walking this bridge.
Zhu Ping'an walked across the bridge and saw the name of the bridge "Wende Bridge" on the other side of the bridge. Wende Bridge, in Zhu Ping’an’s opinion, the bridge is better called Junzi Bridge, because the north side of the bridge is the Confucius Temple, which respects teachers and emphasizes education, while the south side of the bridge is the Fireworks and Willow Lane. Do you go to the north side of the Confucius Temple or the south side? Firework Lane, to some extent, also determines whether you are a gentleman or not.
Zhu Ping'an had just crossed the bridge when he heard a charming smile.
"Hehehe. I thought you were a half-grown scholar, but you sneaked across the bridge and got caught by me."
Zhu Ping'an looked up and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a ponytail, looking at him jokingly and smiling.
This girl looks pretty, with big eyes and a good face shape.
"Why, don't you know someone?" The girl said angrily, "I wanted to invite you to play in my room."
Zhu Ping'an was a little speechless, and slightly arched his hands, "Thank you for your kindness. I don't know if there is a tailor shop near here, girl?"
The girl covered her lips and blinked her big eyes when she heard the words, and the joke became stronger, "Clothing store, you have already crossed the bridge, why are you so shy. This is the worst excuse I have ever heard, you But you came across the bridge to find me? Don’t be shy, if you admit it, I’ll play with you, whatever you want.”
Zhu Ping'an didn't want to get entangled with her, so he cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, don't bother me."
Finished speaking. Zhu Pingan bypassed the playful girl and went to find a clothing store on his own.
"Hey, where are you going? Are there other sweethearts of yours here?" Seeing Zhu Pingan bypassing her, the girl stamped her feet and chased after her.
others? It's as if what's wrong with you in my brother's mind!
Zhu Ping'an ignored it and continued walking, and saw a clothing store not far away. The style is not vulgar, and people dressed as scholars come in and out from time to time, which is far beyond the comparison of the few cloth shops I just visited.
"This gentleman wants to buy cloth for this lady?" The shop assistant looked at Zhu Ping'an. He also looked at the girl who was chasing after him, and he took it for granted that some scholar bought flower cloth to please the girl, so he asked enthusiastically.
Hearing that, that girl looked proud, but this half-aged scholar is honest and honest, thinking of sending cloth to curry favor with me.
Zhu Pingan shook his head. He said lightly, "No. This lady is not related to me, so why did you buy cloth for her. I heard that you have birth uniforms here. I came here to buy a set."
The girl's face darkened when she heard the words, she clenched her teeth, and muttered something in her mouth to scold Zhu Ping'an, probably something like an idiot who didn't understand the style.
"Oh, I'm so blind. Please come inside, sir." The shop assistant said wrongly, and then stretched out his hand to ask Zhu Ping'an to enter the shop.
There are quite a lot of student uniforms in the store. It is estimated that when scholars go to Jinfenyulou, they often visit the clothing store here.
"Hey, don't you want to be a scholar and go crazy? Only students can wear these. If you wear them indiscriminately, you will be punished by the government." The girl also came in, seeing that Zhu Ping'an really wanted to buy a student. He didn't care about getting angry anymore, so he hurriedly reminded Zhu Ping'an.
"Thank you for reminding me, miss, but I got lucky in the college exam this time." Zhu Pingan didn't turn his head, and said lightly while looking at his clothes.
"Come on, stop daydreaming, how old are you!" The girl didn't believe it, and laughed again.
Believe it or not, Zhu Pingan didn't say much about doing my business.
Most of the candidates who passed the examination were adults, and the store never thought that there would be students as big as Zhu Ping'an, so the ready-to-wear in the store didn't suit Zhu Ping'an.
This is not easy to handle.
"If you ask me, I'll cut and modify it for you." Seeing this, the girl leaned over to Zhu Ping'an, blinking her eyes.
Yes, it can be cut and modified, the girl reminded the dreamer.
"Thank you for reminding me, girl. Shopkeeper, please help me wrap up the smallest one." Zhu Pingan thanked the girl and asked the shop assistant to wrap up the clothes.
After paying the money, Zhu Pingan took the clothes and walked straight to the other side of the Qinhuai River. There is also a cloth shop there, and it can definitely be tailored. At worst, he should pay more by himself.
"Hey, you, don't you look down on people like us!" The girl didn't look at Zhu Ping'an, and she went straight across the bridge, her teeth were clenched, her face turned pale, and she paused for a second. Then he shouted at Zhu Ping'an's back, his tone also filled with resentment.
Look down? How come, if you want to look down, you also look down on those scholars who have read sage books but are nostalgic for love.
"No, it's just that we don't agree with each other." Zhu Pingan stopped, turned around and cupped his hands at the girl, "Thank you for reminding me just now."
After speaking, Zhu Pingan left.

This is the worst excuse I have ever heard, you But you came across the bridge to find me? Don't be shy, if you admit it, I'll play with you, whatever you want.Zhu Ping'an didn't want to get entangled with her, so he cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, don't bother me." Finished speaking. Zhu Pingan bypassed the playful girl and went to find a clothing store on his own. "Hey, where are you going? Are there other sweethearts of yours here?" Seeing Zhu Pingan bypassing her, the girl stamped her feet and chased after her. others? It's as if what's wrong with you in my brother's mind!Zhu Ping'an ignored it and continued walking, and saw a clothing store not far away. The style is not vulgar, and people dressed as scholars come in and out from time to time, which is far beyond the comparison of the few cloth shops I just visited. "This gentleman wants to buy cloth for this lady?" The shop assistant looked at Zhu Ping'an. He also looked at the girl who was chasing after him, and he took it for granted that some scholar bought flower cloth to please the girl, so he asked enthusiastically.Hearing that, that girl looked proud, but this half-aged scholar is honest and honest, thinking of sending cloth to curry favor with me. Zhu Pingan shook his head. He said lightly, "No. This lady is not related to me, so why did you buy cloth for her. I heard that you have birth uniforms here. I came here to buy a set."The girl's face darkened when she heard the words, she clenched her teeth, and muttered something in her mouth to scold Zhu Ping'an, probably something like an idiot who didn't understand the style. "Oh, I'm so blind. Please come inside, sir." The shop assistant said wrongly, and then stretched out his hand to ask Zhu Ping'an to enter the shop.There are quite a lot of student uniforms in the store. It is estimated that when scholars go to Jinfenyulou, they often visit the clothing store here."Hey, don't you want to be a scholar and go crazy? Only students can wear these. If you wear them indiscriminately, you will be punished by the government." The girl also came in, seeing that Zhu Ping'an really wanted to buy a student. He didn't care about getting angry anymore, so he hurriedly reminded Zhu Ping'an. "Thank you for reminding me, miss, but I got lucky in the college exam this time." Zhu Pingan didn't turn his head, and said lightly while looking at his clothes. "Come on, stop daydreaming, how old are you!" The girl didn't believe it, and laughed again. Believe it or not, Zhu Pingan didn't say much about doing my business.Most of the candidates who passed the examination were adults, and the store never thought that there would be students as big as Zhu Ping'an, so the ready-to-wear in the store didn't suit Zhu Ping'an. This is not easy to handle. "If you ask me, I'll cut and modify it for you." Seeing this, the girl leaned over to Zhu Ping'an, blinking her eyes.Yes, it can be cut and modified, the girl reminded the dreamer. "Thank you for reminding me, girl. Shopkeeper, please help me wrap up the smallest one." Zhu Pingan thanked the girl and asked the shop assistant to wrap up the clothes.After paying the money, Zhu Pingan took the clothes and walked straight to the other side of the Qinhuai River. There is also a cloth shop there, and it can definitely be tailored. At worst, he should pay more by himself."Hey, you, don't you look down on people like us!" The girl didn't look at Zhu Ping'an, and she went straight across the bridge, her teeth were clenched, her face turned pale, and she paused for a second. Then he shouted at Zhu Ping'an's back, his tone also filled with resentment. Look down? How come, if you want to look down, you also look down on those scholars who have read sage books but are nostalgic for love. "No, it's just that we don't agree with each other." Zhu Pingan stopped, turned around and cupped his hands at the girl, "Thank you for reminding me just now." After speaking, Zhu Pingan left.end of this chapter
