Returning from the other side of the river, Zhu Pingan went to the first cloth shop near the inn, stated his requirements, and after paying the 50 Wen processing fee, a tailor measured a few times on Zhu Pingan’s body with the palm of his hand, and then began to work.
Big scissors went down and clicked, then flying needles and threads, it didn’t take long for that student uniform to shrink by several sizes in the tailor’s hands.
Then, he saw the tailor burning a few pieces of charcoal to heat an iron like iron, and started ironing on the student uniform that was several sizes smaller.
“This is the scorched iron, used for ironing clothes, it’s normal that your son is busy with his studies and hasn’t seen it before.” The tailor who was ironing saw Zhu Pingan looking rather curiously at the coke bucket in his hand, so he explained.
Haven’t seen it before?
I’ve seen irons that are thousands of times more advanced than this one, Zhu Pingan slandered, but on his face, he had an educated expression.
This tailor does not use a ruler to measure, trimming and processing with the palm of the hand alone a few times, but after modifying the student uniform, Zhu Pingan slightly tried on, but it is surprisingly well-fitting. This set of student uniforms is a blue robe, surrounded by a wide edge, cut without destroying the wide edge, the sleeves are very loose, sleeve length just over the hand.
Zhu Pingan put on, suddenly feel that the whole person will be more a kind of quiet and elegant feeling, it seems that the great-grandfather in the clothing design or have a few points of wisdom.
Zhu Pingan is very satisfied with the trimming, thanked the tailor, then came back to the inn, passing through the lobby, asked for two dishes and a soup, let the shopkeeper in the good and sent to the room. After arriving at the room, he changed into this set of student’s clothes, cleaned up inside and out, ate the brunch brought by the shop boy, Zhu Pingan once again washed up and went downstairs towards the Jiangnan Tribute Academy.
In fact, the student uniform, it is best to be matched with a four-square pingding scarf, four-square pingding scarf is a hat made of black gauze. The shape is square, completely the handiwork of old Zhu, stipulating that officials and scholars can only wear it. Only, Zhu Pingan was still young and had not yet been crowned. So it was not worn.
On the way to the Jiangnan Tribute Academy, Zhu Pingan also met a lot of new students wearing brand new student uniforms to the Jiangnan Tribute Academy, everyone is also arching their hands to say hello and say it’s a pleasure to meet you or something and then continue to go their own way.
“In front of you is Zhu Xian Di?”
As Zhu Pingan walked, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind, so he stopped and turned around, and then he saw Feng Shanshui of Susong greeting himself from afar with a folding fan in his hand. Surrounded by five other people, there are two people they know, one is Xia Luo Ming, another is often followed them, just do not remember the name. But apart from them there were two others that he felt unfamiliar with.
In addition to Feng Shanshui, the other people look at their own eyes, seem to be a little strange, Xia Luoming is okay, but the other two strangers look at their own eyes both provocative and resentful also with a little disdain, so complicated.
“Oh, Brother Feng, Brother Xia, uh. There are a few more brothers and sisters, nice to meet you.” Zhu Pingan arched his hand towards the few people from afar and greeted them.
“Congratulations to Xian brother Zhu yet. The head of the case, ah, but it has made me, my humble brother, envious enough.” Feng Shanshui walked up and then teased with a smile on his face.
“Just a fluke.” Zhu Pingan laughed nervously.
“Zhu Xian Di is too modest ……” Tongcheng Xia Luo Ming shook his head slightly, his tone somewhat vicissitudes, “Yesterday the list was released to see Zhu Xian Di’s test paper, that is not with a fluke can do.”
The moment Xia Luoming said this. The two strangers next to him looked at Zhu Pingan with even more provocative gazes, especially one of them looked at Zhu Pingan with provocative gazes that were almost materialised.
The two felt that their own test papers were not even remotely inferior to Zhu Pingan. They even felt that they were better than Zhu Pingan, but the head of the case fell on such a hairless teenager. Where does this make one’s face go!
In fact, the court examination is just, the township examination, the examination is even more so, thousands of test papers together, in addition to special circumstances, the best several test papers is difficult to distinguish between the best, point who is the first, point who is the second, that depends on luck, to see if the content of your paper with the taste of the reading officer, and so on.
Because of this, the two feel that Zhu Pingan is just the taste of the marking officer, so they will be so provocative and unconvincing.
Although provocative, but who will not have a seizure at this time, we are all readers, and now even more so, there is no good time is not going to have a seizure, so as not to make themselves lose their poise.
“Come, come, Zhu Xian Di, I give you an introduction, this is Tongcheng Liu Qian Liu brother, this is Su Song Guo Zi Oracle Guo brother, are the former House of the head of the case. This is Taihu Zhang Tao, you’ve seen him before.” Feng Shanshui with a smile on his face introduced Zhu Pingan to the several people travelling with him.
“I’ve heard a lot about you.” Zhu Pingan arched his hand in salute.
“Zhu Xian Di is young and promising.” Whether it was Liu Qian or Guo Zi Oracle, they were all in a state of harmony, except for the arrogance between their eyebrows that did not diminish.
After that, Zhu Pingan and they went to Jiangnan Gongyuan, the road is basically they are chatting, Zhu Pingan feel very out of place, fortunately, Jiangnan Gongyuan is not far, not a moment will arrive.
Jiangnan Tribute House after some dress up, a little bit of the feeling of lights and colours, more clean than the test.
Zhu Pingan and other people into the Jiangnan Tribute House, which has been crowded, fourteen provinces into the new students basically come almost, the big house forty in the house of thirty, adding up to more than four hundred people it.
Inside the Tribute Academy, there are servants who respectfully invite all the students to go to the instructor’s office to register according to the order of each province, the registered instructors are drawn from Yingtian Prefectural School, County Schools of the oracle, instructor and so on, wearing the formal dress, the momentum is not extraordinary.
Zhu Ping was arranged to be among the students of Anqing Prefecture, and when the people around him learnt of Zhu Pingan’s name, they all said that they were ashamed and did not dare to stand in front of Zhu Pingan, the head of the case. Unable to do so, Zhu Pingan could only arch his hand and stand at the front.
When the hour arrived, the instructor began to formally review the new students’ affidavits, and Zhu Ping was arranged to be the first, so he was the first to go up and fill out the affidavit.
Zhu Pingan dipped his pen in ink and filled in the personal information on the confession book, name Zhu Pingan, age thirteen, origin from Xiahe Village, Guanli Anqing Province, Huai Ning County, Guanli Guan, these are all good to fill in, but there is also a column to fill in the back of the personal characteristics, Zhu Pingan some do not know how to fill in.
“Body short and slightly fat, face simple and beardless.”
Just when Zhu Pingan didn’t know how to fill in, the instructor on the opposite side said in a serious manner.
How does the description sound like Wu Da Lang! Body short because I am young, but I am still growing ah; slightly fat. Which has a microfat, the test these days I am thin down again, just face with baby fat; face naive? Can you use thick to replace Bean, I am Bean is not Bean; beardless, but also only this one meets.
Just. People instructor description but also can not say wrong.
Unable to do so, Zhu Pingan, with a pained face, filled in the notes column with “short and slightly fat, simple and beardless” according to what the instructor said.
The instructor sitting on the opposite side of the table checked Zhu Ping An’s filled out personal statement, and took out a copy of the information stamped with the relevant defence, and pulled out the information belonging to Zhu Ping An. After checking and nodding, he took the seal that was placed on the corner of the table in his hand, pressed it on the sealing clay, and then pressed it hard on Zhu Pingan’s affidavit.
“Alright. The personal statement will be sent to the school guidance officer, and the students will be assigned to schools according to their place of origin and so on. Tomorrow at the stroke of the hour, the schoolmaster will summon the newly admitted students at the Mingyuan Building of the Tribute Academy and perform the hairpin ceremony, so do not be late.” After stamping his seal on Zhu Pingan’s affidavit, the instructor looked at Zhu Pingan for a few moments and then advised him, “You enrolled at a young age. In my Ming Dynasty, this is a rare occurrence, and your future is unlimited, so don’t get into bad habits. Self-destruction of the city walls.”
“Thank you for your teachings, I have learnt it by heart.” Zhu Pingan nodded his head respectfully, thinking that there are still many readers who can be prudent, and this instructor is definitely one of them.
“Well, you can go.” The instructor waved his hand expressionlessly, signalling that Zhu Pingan could leave.
Zhu Pingan arched his hand and left, passing by Xia Luoming and the others. He excused himself and left first.
Zhu Pingan came out of the Jiangnan Tribute Academy and had not yet thought about what he would do in the next few moments. Then he heard someone call out to him.
“Hey, you stand still. Talking about you, that half-big scholar!”
It was a girl’s voice with anger in it.
“Sister, don’t ……”
This was followed by another girl’s block with a crying voice.
When Zhu Pingan raised his head he saw that the young girl he had encountered in the morning who had fallen from her horse’s bun was as red-eyed as a rabbit and appeared to be crying, with a pair of small hands tightly pulling a seventeen or eighteen year old girl, who was glaring at him with an angry face.
What’s going on here? Zhu Pingan was at a loss.
“Don’t what, you silly girl, how can we let people bully us for nothing! What’s wrong with us selling smiles, we don’t steal or rob, why should we be belittled for nothing!”
The seventeen or eighteen year old girl saw Zhu Ping An’s “unrepentant” expression, and became even more furious, as she pushed the hand of the falling horse bun away, and stomped over to Zhu Ping An, glaring angrily at him.
“You, why despise my sister, let her cry for a long time, in the past days to see you look like a noble and courteous gentleman there are a few points of appreciation, who would like to think that you are actually this kind of unpleasant person, young and so, after growing up shall not be the Sven beast, the clothes beast!”
Zhu Pingan just out of the court was stopped by the eighteen-year-old girl, not to say a scolding, spittle are fast to be sprayed a face.
What the hell ah, their own hair did not do ah.
“Did you forget to take your medicine?” Zhu Pingan was speechless.
“What do you mean? I’m not sick, what medicine should I take?” The angry seventeen or eighteen year old girl, sniffing, was at a loss.
Well, this kind of talk is something no one can understand in Daming.
“Thought you were crazy to go out without medicine.” Zhu Pingan spoke indifferently.
“You’re the one who’s crazy, your whole family is crazy, I was so blind in the beginning that I would mistake you, a clothed beast, for a modest gentleman!” The seventeen or eighteen year old girl then understood the meaning of Zhu Pingan’s earlier greeting of did you forget to take your medication, and could not help but be greatly annoyed, and the old and new grudges flared up together.
This kind of movement of the young girl has already attracted some people in the Jiangnan Tribute Courtyard to look this way.
This is the entrance to the Tribute House, a new student, was two Qinhuai River An woman blocked scolding, even with the buttocks want to know that this situation on their own is very bad.
In ancient times, the literati ap prostitutes, about a normal phenomenon, the government to stop only officials ap prostitutes, literati ap prostitutes at most to fill in some of the reputation of the flirt.
But if, by the dust woman pointed at the nose scolding, that is not what the reputation of the wind, about just notorious.
In the Ming Dynasty, reputation stinks, but the future of their own future is harmful and not beneficial. After the student there are yearly exams and so on, reputation is also one aspect of the assessment reference.
“This side of the hot sun adds to the anger, let’s go over there in the shade and then do the calculation.”
Therefore, while the people of Jiangnan Tribute Academy had not yet seen this scene, Zhu Pingan did not continue to argue with her, but the first time the scene of the incident was transferred to another place
