In the imperial capital, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is a rare leisure time of the year, during this time, the major yamen will be sealed, and it will not be printed until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Although ordinary merchants do not rest for half a month like the yamen, they will not open until the sixth day of the first lunar month.

However, these are the traditions of the Central Plains, but this is not the case on the Wang Court's side, but because as Xiao Yan's birthday is approaching, it is becoming more and more busy.

Because Li Xuandu was a guest invited by Xiao Xuandu's name, Zixue Behan prepared a special dress for Li Xuandu, and I have to say that Zixuebei Khan's mind was delicate, because taking into account Li Xuandu's identity as an envoy of the Central Plains, he did not prepare golden tent-style clothes for him, but a earl's dress of the Great Wei court, and I don't know where he got it from.

Li Xuandu carefully looked at this earl's dress, which belonged to the category of court clothes.

The costumes of the officials of the Great Wei Dynasty are mainly divided into court clothes, regular clothes and official clothes.

Court clothes, red Luo clothes, green edges, red and white silk belts or leather belts around the waist, wearing a beam crown.

Official uniform, right round neck, wearing a hat, no knee cover and other complex decorations. The main way to distinguish grades is color, and the fourth and higher grades are crimson, the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades are cyan, and the Jiǔ products are green. In addition, the belts are also different, the first grade is the waist jade belt, the second grade is the flower rhino belt, the third grade is the gold and iron flower belt, the fourth grade is the plain gold belt, the fifth grade is the silver and the flower belt, the sixth and seventh grades are the plain silver belt, and the eighth and ninth grades are the black horn belt.

The regular dress is similar to the official attire, with a round-necked robe and a hood. One of the characteristics of the regular clothes is that they can be variegated, and the main distinction between grades is the complement embroidered on the chest of birds and animals. Civil officials embroider birds, one product and two products, cranes and pheasants. Three products and four products, peacock cloud birds. Five-pin, white pheasant. Six products and seven products, herons and ducks. Eight products and nine products, yellow orioles, quails, and magpies. Imperial history, with the hedgehog. The military generals embroider the beast, the first product and the second product, the lion. Three products and four products, tigers and leopards. Wupin, Xiong Zhen. Six products, seven products, eight products, nine products, rhinoceros seahorses. The prince and the horse embroidered the unicorn and Bai Ze.

This earl's court dress is an embroidered unicorn complement, all kinds of ornaments are readily available, but there are slight flaws in the subtleties, the earl and the horse are distinguished in the jade belt, the jade belt used by the prince and the uncle is stone blue, and the jade belt used by the horse is golden, Li Xuan suspected that Zixue Beihan was deliberately tempting, so he asked the moon to tell Zixue Beihan, and Zixue Beihan quickly sent a new jade belt.

According to the explanation of Zixue Bei Khan relayed by Yue Farewell, these Central Plains court clothes were not imitations of the Golden Horde, but when the Golden Horde went south, they were obtained from a royal treasury.

Yue Farewell held the jade belt re-sent by Zixue Bei Khan in both hands, and asked with a smile: "Childe, do you want me to serve you to change your clothes?"

Li Xuandu waved his hand: "Don't dare to do this." In the Central Plains, this kind of thing wants

It's made by a wife and concubine, or it's made by a maid, but it's not my maid. ”

Yue didn't force her parting, put down the jade belt, and slowly retreated.

Li Xuandu is still a Jianghu person in his bones, walking the rivers and lakes is a hard work, there is not much to say about the fight of swords and swords, and sleeping in the open is even more common, no matter what his background is, there is no such thing as being industrious and not distinguishing between the four bodies and the five grains, this kind of court dress is cumbersome to wear, and one person can deal with it.

After a short time, Li Xuan changed into court clothes, wearing a red Luo top, bottom and knee cover, white gauze singles inside, white socks and black shoes, leather belts and ribbons around his waist, and a beam crown on his head.

Now, Li Xuandu finally has the grandeur of the Central Plains envoy. He walked out of his residence, and with Li Xuandu's habit of observing the terrain first every time he went to a new place, he already knew the mansion well, and went straight to the study where he left Yue. Perhaps the parting of the moon had already been ordered, and the maids, slaves, and guards he met along the way were all respectful to Li Xuan, bowing their heads and standing sideways, not daring to take a second look.

When I came to the study, Yue Parting was not idle, and I was studying hard to read various classics in the Central Plains. And unlike pedantic scholars, Yue Parting is not confined to one family's learning, although they are all in the initial stage, but it is also considered to be a hundred schools of thought, which is not easy. Seeing Li Xuandu coming in, Yue Li got up to greet him and said with a smile: "People are on the chair and the horse is in the saddle, after Qin Gongzi changes into this dress, he is really handsome." ”

Li Xuandu laughed it and asked casually, "What has Yan been reading lately?"

Yue parted and replied truthfully: "I am reading some Xinxue, I remember that the Confucian sage who pioneered Xinxue is also an earl. ”

Li Xuandu said with a smile: "That sage was born in the period of Xiaozong, and during the period of Wuzong, he was an official to the military department, and he entered the Guanglu Doctor and Zhuguo, and was named 'Xinjian Bo', and after his death, he was posthumously named 'Xinjian Hou'. In the Great Wei Dynasty, it is not easy to be knighted, it is not a military achievement, Xinjian Bo was knighted because of the rebellion of King Ning of Dingding, and Emperor Wuzong wanted to drive the rebellion of King Ning of Dingding, so he was quite dissatisfied with Xinjian Bo, and finally Wuzong Dynasty, this sage was not rewarded by the imperial court, until King Shizong ascended the throne, he was really named Xinjian Bo. It's just that these titles are just things outside the body for the sages, and the reason why the sages are officials is only because Confucianism has the three immortal sayings of virtue, speech, and meritorious service, and the suppression of rebellion is meritorious service, so the sages resigned from the government to give lectures after knowing the age of the Mandate of Heaven, and left four teachings in the Tianxin Academy: 'There is no good and no disgusting body, and there are good and malicious movements. Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing. ’”

Yue parted and said sincerely: "Qin Gongzi is erudite. ”

"Don't dare to be. Li Xuandu waved his hand and said: "If that Yan was born in the Central Plains, he would be better than someone like me who knows a little bit about fur since he was a child." ”

Li Xuandu again

I flipped through a few other books, and there were about agriculture and water conservancy, which made Li Xuandu sigh at this woman's pattern and foresight, but these are useless for the Golden Horde, no matter how big the knowledge is, we must also pay attention to a local adaptation, the time and place are so good, the grassland is destined to not be able to farm, and it is difficult to change due to manpower.

After the two chatted a few more words, Li Xuandu finally turned to the topic and asked, "When are we going to see Xiao Yan?"

Yue parted slightly and bowed his head slightly, and said, "You can do it at any time." ”

Li Xuandu was silent, and turned his eyes to the window: "Na Yan, I am not a person who wants to repay the favor, but I hope that my sincerity can get the same response, that is, comparing my heart to my heart." ”

Yue Parting raised his head and looked at Li Xuandu sadly, and said, "What am I not sincere about, please ask Gongzi Qin to make it clear." ”

Li Xuandu said: "I asked when it was appropriate for Na Yan to go to see Xiao Yan, why did you prevaricate to me?"

Yue parted and said: "Qin Gongzi's heart is brighter than the sun and the moon, and he has already made up his mind in his heart. ”

Li Xuandu said: "One person is short, and everyone is long." What I have in mind is my business, I want to listen to Na Yan's advice now, and I hope that Na Yan will not shirk, let alone perfunctory. ”

Yue had to say goodbye: "Yes." Now the eyes of the entire royal court are focused on Xiao Yan's body, because Lao Khan has decided to appear at Xiao Yan's birthday banquet, and Lao Khan's recent situation also directly determines the direction of the royal court in the future. If Gongzi Qin decided to meet Xiao Yan at this time, he would inevitably enter the sight of all the royal court magnates. Therefore, in my opinion, whether Childe wants to see Xiao Yan or not depends on whether Childe wants to enter the center of the royal court at this time, which is like a swamp, easy to enter, difficult to get out, and there is also the danger of being swallowed up. Childe, are you ready?"

Li Xuandu was silent for a moment again, as if he was thinking about it, and then slowly spoke: "I'm alone, and there's nothing bad to prepare." If I go to Xiao Yan on the day of the birthday banquet, I will be no different from the many guests. ”

Yue parted and nodded, "Yes." ”

Li Xuandu laughed: "If I want to hide in an inconspicuous place, why should I go to the Golden Horde? Since I have come to the Golden Horde, it is already the attention of everyone." As the old saying goes, if you have more debt, you don't have to worry, and if you have more lice, you don't itch. I'm afraid that now the entire royal court has learned the news of the envoy of the Central Plains, just like a round of the sun has risen from the east and illuminated the sky, so for the world, is there any essential difference between the rising sun and the sun hanging in the middle of the sky?"

Yue Libei understood what Li Xuandu meant, and said: "According to Zixue Bei Khan, the Yan clan is doing its best to clear the obstacles and try their best to facilitate the meeting between Gongzi and Lao Khan. I can send someone to find out the news, and if the Yan clan has succeeded, then Childe can go to see the Xiao Yan clan. ”
