On the first day of the first lunar month, the weather was clear, and the pompous convoy of 100 carriages set off first.

Ren Xiaodie also came over and said to Ji Aojian, "Tenth sister, I'll pick up the third sister for you." ”

Ji Aojian looked at her, "Fluttershy, I don't think you're very energetic." ”

"No matter how formal and complete our Chinese etiquette is, it can't shock foreigners. Ren replied listlessly, "In my heart, I'm naturally more disappointed." ”

"That cannot be said, the etiquette must not be neglected, and the tradition cannot be interrupted. Ji Aojian earnestly taught, "China is just a sleeping lion now, and when it wakes up, it will shock the world." When we become a first-class power again, all kinds of ceremonies will still make people feel thriving, such as the Olympic Games and the World Expo...... So now in this critical period, it is even more necessary to stick to it. ”

"Tenth sister, what you said is good. "As an official of the Ministry of Rites, I will definitely maintain and carry forward the traditional culture." ”

"In that case, you can't dress so sloppily. ”

"Am I still sloppy?" Ren Xiaodie called out, "Tenth sister, I wore all the court clothes today, just to support you." ”

"You are a mere fourth-grade official, what kind of scene do you support?" Ji Aojian said disdainfully, "You know, we are holding a wedding for the Son of Heaven...... A simplified version of a four-grade official, with a group of students studying to greet relatives, what kind of system will it become?"

"Uh, what do you say?"

"In this way, you will wear a rank and wear a yellow robe of the Nine Pythons. ”

"Tenth Sister, why did I suddenly become an official residence?" Ren Xiaodie was surprised. "Besides, isn't it overstepping?"

"I'll seal you. Ji Aojian said casually. "In the name of the lord of Siberia, Benhou gives you the title of first rank. ”

Ren is stunned. "Is this also done?"

"Nonsense, North Korea and Vietnam both have an official rank system, and my Siberian country is also a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, why can't I reward the official rank?"

"But I am a Ming official, can I accept the gift from your country?"

"It's okay, there are diplomatic conventions to follow for this kind of thing. Ji Aojian said reasonably, "Just like the Duke of Wellington in England, he has been awarded the title of marshal in six countries on the European continent. You are an old friend of our people of Siberia, and I give you a title of honor. Totally reasonable. ”

"Ahaha, I'm also a first-class member, and I have finally made important achievements in life. Ren Xiaodie said happily, "Tenth sister, thank you." ”

"Excuse me. ”

"I didn't kneel down, what kind of body?" Ren Xiaodie muttered, and then said, "Tenth sister, those children who greeted me with me. Give them some honors, too, and the scene will be even better. ”

"Well, these children are all given the title of five ranks, and they wear vermilion satin python robes. ”

"That's great. Ren clapped her hands. "Tenth sister, these rewards of yours will definitely be greatly rewarded in the future. ”

"What in return?"

"They now have a presence in your country. Nature's heart is towards your country, and you regard your country as a beacon. And they learned advanced culture in England. In the future, they will all be the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, as long as I guide them a little. The organization is bound to work for your country in secret. ”

Ji Aojian said in surprise, "It turns out that you are planning to cultivate a leading party for me now?"

"Look at what you said, I'm not thinking about the long term for your usurpation. Ren Xiaodie smiled, "Tenth sister, although your country is located in the northeast, Siberia is full of prosperity and vitality, which is my Chinese Zhengshuo, once you enter the Central Plains, it is really a blessing for the people of Shenzhou." ”

Ji Aojian waved his hand, "I'll talk about it later, I'll get married today." ”

"That's, that's. Ren Xiaodie nodded again and again, and then remembered something, and frowned, "Tenth sister, at this time, you let us put on python robes, but I'm afraid it's too late to prepare." ”

"I have already purchased these python robes. Ji Aojian pointed to a package on the table, "This set is yours." ”

"Tenth sister, you are really well prepared. ”

Ren unwraps the package happily, and is quickly stunned, "Huh?"

"Ahh

"Isn't this the dragon robe I made for you?"

"When it is worn on you, it is a python robe. Ji Aojian snorted, "What is the difference between the dragon robe you made and the opera team, can it reflect the majesty of the Son of Heaven?"

"You can't say that, most people think this is a dragon robe. Ren explained, "Besides, this style is similar to a folk wedding dress, so if something happens in the future, it's easy to blame." ”

The so-called python robe is painted in the shape of a dragon python on the satin, which was mostly used in auspicious clothes in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and can be used by all the emperors and officials. Although it is commonly understood that the five-clawed python is a dragon and the four-clawed python is a python, the royal python robes obtained by the princes and high-ranking officials often also have a five-clawed dragon. Therefore, it can only be understood that the emperor wears it, which is called a dragon robe, and the subordinates wear it, which is called a python robe.

After the development of opera art, the dragon robe used by the emperor on the stage is basically this kind of python robe, which also opened up the indiscriminate use of python robes by the people in private. Although the system of the python robe has a strict normative level, and the simplified python robe made by the folk is not elegant, no matter how you look at it, you also know that it is the same style of clothing.

That's the idea that Ren Xiaodie came up with, creating a golden satin robe with five claws and nine pythons, which is also the dress of the Son of Heaven in terms of etiquette. After marriage, he immediately destroyed the dragon robe, even if someone denounced himself in the future, he would definitely use that kind of folk python robe. You must know that in this era, ordinary people in China get married, and the bride and groom wear red python robes and phoenix robes, which has become a standard wedding dress. Just those foreigners, can they understand the difference?

"I've always been serious, and I'll never do such opportunistic things. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "So this python robe will be rewarded for you to wear." ”

"I wear it, I wear it. Ren Xiaodie said helplessly, "Anyway, this is the python robe that Xibohou rewarded me, and it's not my fault that I overstepped the rules." ”

"With your guts, how dare you propose the marriage of the Son of Heaven in the first place?"

"Hey, of course I'm not as good as you, the tenth sister. Ren Xiaodie sighed, "Since you don't need this dragon robe, you must have prepared a more solemn crown of the Son of Heaven?"

"Of course. ”

"Then why don't you change it on?" Ren Xiaodie looked at him suspiciously, and Xi Bohou was still wearing a standard Western-style dress at the moment. "Today is the wedding date, when will you wear it if you don't wear it now?"

"Who said I was going to wear it?"

"You don't have the clothes of the Son of Heaven, so what kind of wedding is the Son of Heaven?"

Ji Aojian took out a gorgeous wooden box with gold and jade threads, "This set of clothes, you take it to the third sister and ask her to wear it." ”

"Ah......" It took Ren Xiaodie a long time to react, "Feelings: The third sister is wearing the dress of the Son of Heaven at today's wedding?"

"What's the problem?"

"No problem! No problem! This decision is too wise!" Ren Xiaodie happily raised her hands, "Tenth sister, congratulations on finally figuring it out!"

Ji Aojian was inexplicable, "What do I have that I can't figure out?"

"You finally found out that the third sister is actually the most talented. Ren Xiaodie's eyebrows fluttered, "And you, Tenth Sister, take the initiative to assume the position of the mother of the main palace, it is really too suitable, too matched, too conscientious!"

"Get out!" Ji Aojian's whole face darkened, "When did I say that I was going to call myself a mother?"

"Hey, don't admit it, since the third sister is the son of heaven, you and the third sister are getting married, so what are you not the queen?"

"You don't know how to learn! What kind of etiquette background are you, what kind of diplomat are you?" Ji Aojian was furious, "The Queen of England is also married, is her husband called the Queen Mother?"

"Oh, Prince Albert is a prince. Ren Xiaodie smiled embarrassedly, "The third sister is the empress, so you are still the emperor's husband, not the mother." ”

Ji Aojian snorted heavily.

"However, the emperor's husband, what special title should there be?"

"What are you doing researching this?"

"I can't help but study, this is the need for etiquette. Ren Xiaodie said to herself, "My only empress of China is Emperor Zetian, but she didn't marry again after becoming emperor, so she didn't fill the gap." ”

"Since you don't, don't think about it anymore. ”

"I can reason a little more. "The princess's husband is called a colt, and the lord's husband is called a marquee, so what kind of horse should the empress's husband be...... Well, why don't you just call it Real Madrid?"

"What Real Madrid, and Barcelona!"

Ji Aojian said angrily, "This lord is Xibohou, you don't have to make up inexplicable titles." (To be continued.) )
