Here's the thing.
Songhai Academy's first snow banquet every year will have a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy to supervise the records, and also serve as one of the judges of the banquet.
It's just that among the few people who came this year, there was a very old-fashioned old bachelor. It was said that he had always disapproved of the new order issued by the emperor for coeducational colleges, and his favorite thing to do on weekdays was to pull other people's pigtails and play it to the emperor.
To put it bluntly, Te loves to complain.
However, he is very eloquent, even a small problem can be turned into a big mistake by him, and he has been an official in the court for most of his life, no one would want to provoke him.
But this time he came here with a pen and ink, just to find out the disadvantages of men and women reading together, and then write a thousand-character memorial to the emperor to persuade him to withdraw the new order.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with it, but the bad thing was that Wen Yantong was the only male and female co-player in this show. In order to avoid complications, the higher-ups planned to disqualify Wen Yantong from the competition.
But Huamo was unwilling, and wanted Wen Yantong to wear women's clothes to hide the truth.
In this way, it would be extremely embarrassing for Yantong to smell it.
It's not that she doesn't want to wear a skirt, it's just that what if someone finds out after wearing it? She has ghosts herself, and she is so guilty that she dares not take risks at all.
But Huamo said, "If you don't wear it, then the college can only disqualify you from the competition, and I have no control over this matter."
Wen Yantong had a sad face, "What the hell is going on!"
Huamo only thought that she had strong self-esteem, and patted her head, "It's nothing, it's only a short time anyway, and no one will find out, you've been preparing for a long time, and you've been looking forward to this opportunity to make up for it, don't give up .”
If you don't wear it, you can't participate in the banquet. Those days of preparation are useless, and you don't know what to do after that note. Wen Yantong was in a dilemma for a long time, but finally nodded and agreed reluctantly.
On the second day when the first snow fell, the academy suspended classes, and the first snow feast opened with great fanfare.
Songhai Academy opened the gates on three sides to welcome the top-notch lady and master in Chaoge, and lead them into the huge domed hall in the northeast corner of the academy.
That is the main hall specially built by the Academy for banquets or other events. It is one hundred feet long and wide, and three stories high. Eight of them are large pillars poured with iron slurry. The surfaces are all carved patterns and gilt patterns, which can be described as full of style.
Also known as the Eight Pillar Hall.
The doors of Shenshi Academy were closed, and the main entrance of the Eight Pillars Hall was also closed, and everyone took their seats one after another.
Originally, the hall was divided into three large areas. On the leftmost side were the masters of the Academy and various officials from the Hanlin Academy, with white seats and blue patterns; ; the one on the far right is where civilians sit, but it is a gray seat with no patterns.
There is no distinction between men and women, but after female students entered the academy, the most spacious seat in the middle row became the seat for all male students, and all the seats on the right became the concubine seat with golden patterns.
The colors of the three blocks are extremely distinct, and they all sit neatly at first glance.
Right in front of it is a ten-foot-high performance stage surrounded by a circle of carved pillars. The lanterns on the ceiling were put up early, illuminating the entire hall in splendor. It is said that there are more than two hundred lanterns.
Chi Jingxi, as the most unprovoked person in the academy, naturally had to sit in the front row of the black seat in the middle. But he didn't seem to have arrived yet, so the seat was empty, only Cheng Xin, and Cheng Xiao who was chatting with Cheng Xin while smiling.
In fact, Wen Yantong also discovered that this Cheng Xiao didn't seem to hate and alienate Cheng Xin as much as it was written in the original book. The original book said that Cheng Xin came from the empress, Cheng Xiao came from the favored concubine, and the concubines and other forces are the real brothers who want to break their heads and want to bring down Cheng Xin, who are the princes.
So the relationship between the two is very bad, and in the end they fight to the point where either you die or I die.
But looking at Cheng Xiao right now, he is very clingy to Cheng Xin, who keeps saying something, but Cheng Xin looks like he doesn't answer.
Wen Yantong felt quite strange.
When she was wondering, Huamo lifted her collar, "Don't peek here, come with me."
Wen Yantong followed behind Huamo in a daze, came out from the side door of the Hall of Eight Pillars, then walked through a row of long corridors with sloping eaves, and entered a house.
The decoration in the house is very gorgeous, and a heater is lit, in contrast to the severe cold outside. Huamo unwrapped her body and took out a set of clothes, "This is the clothes I used to wear. The embroidery is from the top embroiderer in the palace. It is a treasure bestowed by the emperor. It's a pity that I can't wear it now that my hands and feet are so long." , I see that your arms and legs are about the same length, you can try it on."
She put the clothes on the table, and then took out all the packaged things, "After you change your clothes, just use these powders to smear casually, and don't let those people see that you are a man wearing a skirt, otherwise this will be a long time." It is very troublesome to sue.”
Wen Yantong took a closer look and found that they were all women's make-up items such as black pens and rouge, and they could be seen as Huamo's personal belongings. She was quite touched, she didn't expect Huamo to help her like this, it was because she liked her ability to play the erhu with one hand.
"This room is a resting room for those noble gentlemen, but no one will come. After you finish changing, stay here and don't go anywhere. I'll call you when you're about to play." Hua Mo He exhorted, "Got it?"
Wen Yantong nodded honestly, "Got it, Master, don't worry."
Of course Wen Yantong couldn't go out and seek death, she knew how to measure it herself.
Huamo breathed a sigh of relief, then patted her on the shoulder before leaving. Seeing that she was gone, Wen Yantong quickly took the clothes and sat on the soft bed to change.
Huamo's set of clothes was a reward from her display of piano skills in exchange for Longyan Joy. Both the material and the embroidery patterns are the best in the palace.
The jacket is two-piece, the inside is a snow-white padded jacket, the wide sleeves are covered with a layer of extremely delicate ink gauze, and the gold-sprinkled sleeves seem to flow under the light. On the outside was a dark red cotton waistcoat embroidered with ink thread, and the cuffs were wrapped in a ring of pure white rabbit fur.
Underneath is an ankle-length skirt, like the sleeves, which is white on the inside and covered with ink gauze on the outside. The folds are so soft that it can just cover Wen Yantong's legs tied with wooden boards.
Wen Yantong let down her hair, took a red and white long silk and mixed it with her hair and braided it on the right side at will. Then I wiped off the thick eyebrows, and drew a pair of thin eyebrows carefully. After looking at it again, I finally have the appearance of a girl.
She has been raised by a good child these days, and she has grown a lot of flesh, and the appearance of being dried into a handful of bones has gradually become rounder. And the foundation of this body is good, the skin is delicate and fair, the eyes are big and bright, the eyelashes are thick and long, like natural eyeliner.
She rubbed some corn powder, and dotted red rouge on her lips. With a little decoration, she looked quite beautiful. At first glance, she couldn't be connected with the previous Wen Yantong at all.
Wen Yantong enjoyed herself for a while, then packed up her things, then leaned on the soft chair and waited for Huamo to call her.
Staying in the room by himself would inevitably be boring, so Wen Yantong walked around the room, looking around, and when he was studying the decorations, he heard footsteps at the door.
Presumably it was Huaja who came to look for her. Wen Yantong put down the things in his hands, leaned on his crutches and walked towards the door, just two steps away, the door was pushed open.
She looked at it with a smile on her face, and was about to speak, but her face changed after seeing the person coming, and she turned around in panic, trying to hide her face.
It's over now!
She thought it was Huamo who came, but she didn't expect that it was someone else!
Once she saw Chi Jingxi standing at the door in a snow-rolled fine gauze robe, holding the door open with her hands open, and seeing someone in the room, her handsome face showed an inquisitive look, and her eyes slid down from her clothes, It landed on the crutch in her hand.
The author has something to say: Chi Jingxi: It's the cripple's crutch!
Wen Yantong: I don't have a name! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
