Guan Suyi covered her chest with one hand and held the skirt with the other, standing in front of the bronze mirror hesitantly, "Is it really okay to wear this way? Would it be too immoral? Besides, it's just spring, and the weather is still a bit rough. It's cold, but I even put on the tulle, I'm afraid I'll be laughing and generous when I go out."
Jin Zi hesitated to speak, but Ming Lan waved her hands indifferently, "Miss, you are thinking too much, let alone spring, even in the middle of winter and the twelfth lunar month, some people wear it like this, they only wear a fox fur cloak outside, and when they enter the inner room, they put on their coat. If you take it off, it will definitely overwhelm the crowd. This is a trend brought by the eldest princess. The ladies and ladies in Yanjing City are flocking to it. Every banquet will be a piece of clothing, fragrance, skin, ice and snow, which makes people dazzled. If you don't wear it like this, you might even be scolded for being old-fashioned."
"Oh? This dress has become popular in Beijing?" Guan Suyi was surprised.
The Zhao family was inferior to the aristocratic family, did not enter the new nobles in the middle, and did not communicate with the subordinate officials, so his position in the capital was very embarrassing. When Zhao Luli was deprived of the title, the situation became worse, and Guan Suyi didn't even have a chance to go out to a banquet, and he would not get a promise to invite others to come as a guest by publishing a famous post, and he seemed to be isolated. Therefore, after marrying into Zhao's house in this life, she only spends her free time studying and managing her family, and has never paid attention to the changes in the outside world.
I still remember that at this time in my previous life, Miss Xu Er had already entered the palace and was named Zhaoyi. Because of her outstanding talent and beauty, she was very popular with Emperor Sheng Yuan, and she soon took charge of the power of the six palaces. She became famous with an article "The Ring of Women", and then flew to the branches and turned into a phoenix, which attracted noble ladies in Beijing to follow suit.
The clothing style of the previous dynasties was inclined to laxity. In the early days of the establishment of the Wei Kingdom, it also adhered to the legacy, and the splendid and splendid characters of the Jiuli people were the leading factors. Reversed, it is more conservative day by day. The commoners may not feel deeply, nor understand what "Xu's Neo-Confucianism" means and how it affects their lives, but the upper circles bear the brunt of it, becoming distorted and grotesque.
The term "upper effect and lower effect" has been vividly interpreted. "The king of Chu has a slender waist, and many of them starve to death in the palace." The emperor only respected Confucianism, and all scholars abandoned what they had learned before and went to study Confucianism; the emperor advocated Confucianism, and the rotten, rigid and arbitrary patriarchal idea became popular; the emperor liked women who lived forever, and divorce and remarriage became Shame and taboo. A revolution is quietly taking place in the upper circles, and in ten, twenty, thirty years... This trend will surely seep into the lower classes and completely imprison their minds.
Not only Guan Suyi and Li, but many more women were murdered by "Xu's Neo-Confucianism". She closed her eyes and looked into her memory casually, and she could find frame after frame of bloody pictures. A woman who returned home from Heli was beaten to death; a woman who was disrespectful to her husband was arbitrarily abandoned and thrown into the river; there was even a little girl under the age of 14 who was helped by a family member because she stumbled, and was arrested. The abiding father chopped off that hand just to keep her innocent.
Once the barriers that cut off memory are opened, all resentment and unwillingness flood into my heart. Guan Suyi originally thought that living in Cangzhou and ignoring world affairs was her struggle against Xu's Confucianism and her self-rebellion. It was only now that she realized that the process of studying "Nvjie" every day and refuting it, her thoughts already deeply poisoned.
It's just a gorgeous robe, how can it be "indecent"? Besides, what if it is immoral? Her family background is prominent and her status is respected. As long as she does not disgrace her family reputation, how can she wear it
Once the dangerous door is opened, even Guan Suyi can't lock it. Looking at the beautiful and graceful woman in the mirror, she liked it very much. She didn't know when the hand covering her chest had been put down, and her light-white fingertips twisted the crooked hairpin and smiled slowly.
This smile is not like the gentle and shallow in the past, dignified and beautiful, but reveals a suffocating charm. However, with a different expression, her inoffensive qualities disappeared without a trace, becoming sharp and sharp, severing Minglan and Jinzi's eyeballs like a knife blade. They felt that the young lady seemed to be different from before, but they couldn't tell what was different.
She no longer covered her chest and shrank her shoulders, but raised her chest and raised her chin slightly, looking at the bronze mirror proudly.
"It's really beautiful, the more you look at it, the more beautiful it is." She whispered, not knowing that the clothes she was boasting were still hers, and the tender and sweet voice made Jin Zi and Ming Lan get goosebumps all over.
"The color of this hairpin is not bright enough, let's replace it with the exquisite jadeite crested hairpin." She stroked her temples with her fingertips, and took off a golden hairpin lazily.
Minglan was the first to recover, blushing and rummaging in the box. Jin Zi was still in a daze. He was used to seeing the master with her face turned to the sky. The first time she saw her dressed up, it was really hard to extricate herself. I don't know what will happen to His Majesty? Dizzy, she heard her master ask, "Can you sing the most popular lewd and erotic songs in the festival today?"
"Ah?" She had a dumbfounded expression, then she reacted and waved her hand quickly, "Miss, this servant has only received poison and martial arts training in Anbu, and has never studied seduction."
"What nonsense? Just talk about whether it will be possible." Guan Suyi changed the headgear according to her own wishes, and when she squinted away, her eyes were gleaming, and her soul was fascinated.
Jin Zi's whole body was stiff, and he said quietly, "Yes. Black and white are popular things, and slaves and maids are basically familiar with them."
"That's good." After dressing up properly, Guan Suyi took out a small delicate wooden box from under the bed, and stuffed the newly made human-skin mask, and said with a low smile, "This is a brewed by my grandfather. Ridui is made by refining and fermenting the essence of five grains and the aroma of minced fruits. The taste of the wine is not heavy, but it is like drinking nectar and jade dew in the throat. It only takes three cups to make people drunk. This human skin mask has an ordinary appearance. The man, you put it on when you enter the Jueyin Temple, approach Lu Fengming as a servant, and deliver wine for him. . He loves to linger, and he will show his true colors."
Jin Zi was stunned when he heard it, and then murmured for a while, "Miss, didn't you say you don't care about a dying person? Why did you plan to ruin his reputation?"
Guan Suyi walked to the door and turned her head to look back. The bright sunlight shone from her back, casting a shadow on her face. "I suddenly realized," the corners of her mouth rose slowly, and her tone was a little weird, "I should change my way of living in this life. No matter how fake Taoism is, and even a hypocrite, I can't let myself live in humiliation."
"That's right! Who doesn't want to live happily." Minglan laughed, diluting the suffocating aura.
Jin Zi hugged the things in his arms tightly, not daring to slack off. He always felt that from today onwards, His Majesty would be more troubled. Just thinking about this, I saw the young lady turn back, opened the drawer and took out three human skin masks, folded them into thin small squares and put them in the purse around her waist, chuckled, "When you go out, these three face masks are indispensable. , one of mine, one of an ordinary man, and one of the blank to be molded. If you find me disappearing suddenly in the future, don't panic, just sit and wait in the teahouse outside the mansion, and I'll come back when I've had enough."
"You haven't had enough time, miss?" A drop of cold sweat dripped from Jin Zi's forehead, feeling that the errands were getting harder and harder.
"There is a saying called 'Live until you get old and learn to get old'. I think we have to add another sentence, 'Live until you get old and play until you get old'. This is the true meaning of life." Jin Zi and Ming Lan looked at each other.

Seeing that her daughter changed a few pieces of jewelry, but it was more luxurious and bright, Zhong was naturally very satisfied, and immediately took her to the mountain. Due to the grand scale of the literary meeting, the crowds were woven. Not only was there a venue in the Jueyin Temple, but the pavilions outside the temple were also overcrowded.
The men were all well-dressed and graceful, and the women were all dressed in brocade and splendid make-up. They gathered together in twos and threes to chat and laugh. If in the previous life, except for the noble daughter of the Jiuli tribe who was stubbornly resisting, how could Han women dare to indulge like this
Seeing the scenery completely different from the previous life, Guan Suyi let out a long sigh and finally smiled slowly. She followed Mrs. Zhong to meet some acquaintances of the elders, and after a few chats, she was pushed to the Bodhi Garden to socialize with young men and women.
When I saw the woman leaning against the door, the woman was threatening, the courtyard was silent for a moment, and then there was a man whispering, "Which lady is this?"
"It should be the direct daughter of the Guan family, the one who was just Heli." A noble lady of the royal family introduced in a low voice, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, and then added another sentence. She and Guan Suyi were in the main hall and read the scriptures for the first empress dowager, so she knew it naturally.
"It turned out to be her!" Some people shook their heads and sneered with disdain; Even if Wei Guofeng were to open up again, for the children of nobles, they would not be a good match with the woman they had left, and they were not worthy of their favor.
Ben was also very jealous of Guan Suyi and the ladies began to snicker, as if they had won a battle. How can the remnant flower and the willow be compared with the delicate flower bone? The moment of surprise has subsided, and everyone continues to hold the scroll and read it. If there is a wave of literary thoughts and poetry, they will raise the pen and suggest words on the white wall.
Among so many young men and women, there is only one crowd guarded by stars and attracting much attention. She was wearing a conservative long-sleeved ruffled skirt. The tender green color made her lips red and her teeth white, and her face was like a peach and plum. Surrounded by the luxurious ladies around her, she became more fresh and refined and different.
Holding a volume of books in her hand, she recited word by word, which attracted a group of students to listen carefully and fascinated.
Guan Suyi, who was isolated by the crowd, didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She slowly paced over and waited for the woman to raise the teacup to moisten her throat. She cupped her hands and asked, "Ms. Xu Er, who is this masterpiece? It seems to be a handout interpretation? "
Xu Yayan smiled and replied, "This is my father's humble work, called "Sub-collection Commentary", for the students all over the world to solve their doubts and give pointers to the text."
Solve the doubts for the students all over the world? Xu Guangzhi is going to pick up the name "Master of the World"! Guan Suyi's eyes flashed and she grinned.
