Chapter 38 The Prosperous Ming Dynasty
The reason why Zhu Zaijing decided to book this book is actually very simple, just to give the sugar in his hands a rare and high-end feel.
When all these gifts are delivered, Zhu Zaijing will make a big fanfare and tell everyone how good "Yi Ran Candy" is. It is the best choice to honor the elders and visit relatives and friends.
For this reason, Zhu Zaijing was not stingy and sent some to Lan Daoxing from Chaotianguan, Li Shizhen from Taiyuan Hospital, and Gao Gong from Hanlin Academy. Pass.
And even his cheap brother Jing Wang Zhu Zaizhen also sent a copy. It doesn't matter whether he likes it or not. What matters is Zhu Zaizhen's actions.
After all the "Yiran candies" were given away, Meng Chong looked at Zhu Zaijing eagerly, "The prince has given away all the gifts, should we sell these treasures?"
Zhu Zaijing said: "No rush, wait until tomorrow when I go to Dongshi to take a look around."
Meng Chong didn't know why Zhu Zaijing was going to Dongshi, but since his own prince was going, of course Meng Chong stopped him. Can't live.
Because after this period of running-in, Meng Chong also accepted Zhu Zaijing's personality changes, and he gradually learned to obey Zhu Zaijing.
So it is much easier for Meng Chong to think about things now. As long as his prince is happy, he can do anything.
Early the next morning, Zhu Zaijing asked Meng Chong to find some regular clothes.
After putting on his regular clothes, Zhu Zaijing finally realized what it means to be elegant and suave.
Although this set of regular clothes is ordinary, the satin is made of fine Jiangnan tribute cloth. There are also two slightly yellow mutton-fat white jade pendants hanging around the waist. One is a group-shaped chilong. One piece is a group-shaped Chongming bird. These two legendary mythical beasts both drive away evil spirits and ensure peace. Therefore, the ancients also liked to use this mythical beast with beautiful meanings as cultural material, integrating it into all aspects of life.
Of course, people who can enjoy such a standard of living are either rich or noble regardless of ancient or modern times. It is not a life that ordinary people can look up to.
But this does not prevent ordinary people from yearning for this kind of beautiful life. After all, hasn’t culture from ancient times to the present taught people to be masters?
Since you want to be a master of others, the enjoyment of being a master of others must not be left behind.
After several days of training in "Xiantian Kung", Zhu Zaijing's eyebrows finally showed a bit of immature youthful energy, which was much worse than the sickly look he had when he just traveled through time. I know how much stronger it is.
Zhu Zaijing's straight waist holds up this new suit just made for the New Year just right. It doesn't feel like it is being worn cross-body. At first glance, he really looks like a gentleman who is unparalleled in the world. The feeling of being like jade.
But the only pity is that the originally reserved hem length is a bit tight now, but luckily everything is fine and still within a reasonable range.
So this outfit is quite decent when worn, and it doesn’t feel awkward like an adult wearing children’s clothes.
But even so, after putting on this regular uniform, Zhu Zaijing still said to Meng Chong: "I have grown up recently and my body is stronger than before. You can find a tailor to help me buy some more regular clothes." , remember to be low-key, not as luxurious as this one."
Meng Chong was relieved when he heard this, it doesn't cost money to make clothes.
Because the palace will receive fine tribute cloths as rewards from the palace every year, whether it is Yun Brocade from Jiangnan or Shu Brocade from Central Sichuan, etc., there will be a fixed amount of supply of each kind of fine cloth every year.
And making clothes for the prince is not something ordinary tailors can do. They have to be left to the masters in the palace, and this type of masters do not charge money. After all, they themselves have to eat and drink. The food is also supplied by the palace.
It is not like asking an embroiderer to customize embroidery works before, which requires some cost of labor and materials. So when he heard his prince said that he had grown and needed new clothes, Meng Chong felt quite happy. This meant that his prince's health was really good now.
What a gratifying and great thing this is!
Meng Chong said happily: "Okay, my lord, I will find a skilled master to help you make new clothes."
Zhu Zaijing snorted, "Let's go. , Mr. Gao will come to teach me this afternoon, don’t delay.”
Meng Chong quickly said, leading the way and leaving Prince Yu’s Mansion with Zhu Zaijing.
Dongshi is one of the largest and most prosperous neighborhoods in Beijing. The shops here are lined up next to each other, making it very lively.
Businessmen who can open a store here either really have two skills, or their backend is a mess.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to open a decent store in Dongshi, where land is at a premium.
Walking on the streets of Dongshi, looking at the bustling pedestrians coming and going, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity of the capital.
Except for the laborers who were rushing back and forth to deliver goods or helping people to carry heavy loads, the rest of them were all wearing silk and satin, wearing crown jade on their heads, and some naughty hands. I don’t know whether they are really hot or fake as they are fanning themselves back and forth with a folding fan.
Anyway, Zhu Zaijing is a little uncomfortable with it, but Zhu Zaijing also respects the diversity of life. After all, this is other people's lives. As long as he does not hinder others, there is no need for Zhu Zaijing to preach to people from the perspective of an old master.
There are also some pretty young ladies who are boldly walking on the street, happily shuttling between jewelry stores and rouge shops with their friends or accompanying maids, picking and choosing to find what they want. commodity.
Looking at their brisk steps and the smiles on their faces, Zhu Zaijing felt like he was an ancient person.
Because in his previous subconscious cognition, Zhu Zaijing always believed that women in ancient times stayed at home, as if they were ladies who embroidered and bound their feet at home.
But after taking a look in reality, Zhu Zaijing found that not only were their feet not bound, but they were also living very freely.
It doesn't look like he was persecuted by cannibalistic ethics at all.
So at this moment Zhu Zaijing also discovered the narrow-mindedness of his thoughts. Originally, Zhu Zaijing thought that he was an "omniscient and omnipotent" time traveler with a God's perspective. Now after seeing the real historical scenes, Zhu Zaijing Only then did Zai Jing realize that he seemed to be trapped by his inherent narrow cognition.
However, it is not too late to wake up now, because I am not yet able to have a substantial impact on this era, so it is also a good thing to discover my misunderstandings in time at this time.
“Get out of the way, get out of the way, quickly, don’t block the way of my young master!”
Just when Zhu Zaijing was lamenting the prosperity and freedom of the Ming Dynasty, there was a sound of environmental damage, and instantly, Zhu Zaijing was brought back to reality. It turns out that there are still barbarians in this world who do not take their rights and freedoms seriously and consider themselves superior to others.
