After returning from the other side, Zhu Pingan went to the first cloth shop near the inn, explained his requirements, and after paying the processing fee of 50 yuan, a tailor measured Zhu Pingan a few times with his palm, and then Construction started.
The big scissors went down and clicked, and then the stitches were moved. It didn't take long for the uniform to be shrunk by several sizes in the hands of the tailor.
Then, the tailor burned a few pieces of charcoal to heat an iron-like object, and began to iron the student uniforms that were a few sizes smaller.
"This is the Jiao Dou, used for ironing clothes. The young master is busy studying, so it's normal that he hasn't seen it before." The tailor who was ironing saw Zhu Pingan looking at the Jiao Dou in his hand curiously, so he explained.
never seen it?
The irons I have seen are thousands of times better than this one. Zhu Pingan complained, but his face showed a learned expression.
The tailor didn't use a ruler, he just took a few measurements with his hands for trimming. However, after Zhu Pingan tried on the modified student uniform, he found it fit surprisingly well. This student uniform is a blue robe with wide edges on all sides. The wide edges are not damaged after cutting. The sleeves are very loose and the length of the sleeves is just above the hand.
After Zhu Pingan put it on, he suddenly felt that his whole person had a quiet and elegant feeling. It seemed that Taizu still had some wisdom in clothing design.
Zhu Ping'an was very satisfied with the pruning. He thanked the tailor and returned to the inn. When passing by the lobby, he ordered two dishes and one soup, and asked the waiter to deliver them to the room after they were ready. After arriving in the room, he completely changed into the student uniform and tidied up inside and out. After eating the breakfast and lunch delivered by the waiter, Zhu Pingan washed himself again and went downstairs to Jiangnan Gongyuan.
In fact, it is best to wear the uniform of a student uniform with a square scarf. The square scarf is a hat made of black gauze and has a square shape. It is completely the work of Lao Zhu, and it is stipulated that only officials and scholars can wear it. However, Zhu Pingan was still young and had not yet been crowned, so he did not wear it.
On the way to Jiangnan Gongyuan. Zhu Ping'an also met many new students who were wearing brand-new uniforms and heading to Jiangnan Gongyuan. Everyone said hello and said it was a pleasure to meet them, and then continued to go their separate ways.
"Is that Brother Zhu Xian in front of you?"
Zhu Pingan was walking when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind, so he stopped and turned around. Then he saw Su Song and Feng Shanshui greeting him from a distance with a folding fan. There were five people around him, two of whom he knew, one was Xia Luoming and the other was often with them. I just don’t remember their names, but there are two other people besides them who I feel are very strange.
Except for Feng Shanshui, everyone else seemed to look at him a little strangely. Xia Luoming was fine, but the other two strangers looked at him with provocation, resentment, and a bit of disdain. It was so complicated.
"Oh, Brother Feng, Brother Xia, uh, there are a few other brothers. Nice to meet you." Zhu Ping'an said hello to several people from a distance, cupping his hands.
"I haven't congratulated Brother Zhu Xian yet. You are the head of the case, but I am so envious of Brother Yu." Feng Shanshui walked over and teased with a smile on his face.
"It's just a fluke." Zhu Ping'an smiled naively.
"Brother Zhu Xian is too humble..." Tongcheng Xia Luoming shook his head slightly, his tone a little vicissitudes, "I saw Zhu Xiandi's test paper yesterday, and it is not something you can do by luck."
As soon as Xia Luoming said this, the two strangers next to him looked at Zhu Pingan with even more provocation, especially the provocative look that one of them looked at Zhu Pingan almost became physical.
The two felt that their test papers were no worse than Zhu Pingan's. I even felt that it was even worse, but the case fell on such a teenage boy with no hair at all. Where could I put my face?
In fact, the college examination is just fine, and the provincial examination and the general examination are even more like this. Thousands of test papers are put together. Except for special circumstances, it is difficult to distinguish the best test papers. Who is ranked first and who is ranked second depends on luck and the content of your test paper. Whether it suits the taste of the marking officer, etc.
It's also because of this. The two of them felt that Zhu Ping'an just happened to suit the taste of the marking officer, that's why he was so provocative and dissatisfied.
Although it is provocative, no one will have an attack at this time. Everyone is a scholar, and now they are even more talented. If there is no good opportunity, they will not have an attack, so as not to lose their grace.
"Come on, Brother Zhu Xian, let me introduce you. This is Brother Liu Qian of Tongcheng. This is Brother Guo Ziyu of Susong. They were both the former heads of the government. This is Zhang Tao of Taihu, whom you have met. "Feng Shanshui introduced several people traveling with Zhu Ping'an with a smile on his face.
"I have admired you for a long time." Zhu Pingan bowed his hands in greeting.
"Brother Zhu Xian is young and has great potential." Both Liu Qian and Guo Ziyu were friendly, but the arrogance in their brows remained unchanged.
After that, Zhu Ping'an walked with them to Jiangnan Gongyuan. They were mostly chatting on the way. Zhu Ping'an felt that he was very unsociable. Fortunately, Jiangnan Gongyuan was not far away and he arrived in a short while.
Jiangnan Gongyuan has been decorated and looks a bit decorated, much cleaner than the exam.
When Zhu Ping'an and others entered the Jiangnan Gongyuan, there was already a huge crowd inside. Almost all the new students from the Fourteenth House had arrived. The big house was forty and the middle house was thirty, which totaled more than four hundred people.
There are officers in the Gongyuan who respectfully ask all the students to register at the instructor's office in order of each prefecture. The registered instructors are all teachers and instructors transferred from Yingtianfu School and County School. They are all wearing formal clothes and have an extraordinary momentum. .
Zhu Ping was placed among the students in Anqing Mansion. When people around him learned Zhu Ping'an's name, they all felt ashamed and did not dare to stand in front of Zhu Ping'an, the head of the case. Helpless, Zhu Ping'an could only express his thanks and stood at the front.
When the time came, the instructor began to formally review the new students' personal confessions. Zhu Ping was arranged to be the first, so he was the first to go up and fill out the personal confessions.
Zhu Pingan dipped his pen in ink and filled in his personal information on the confession book. His name was Zhu Pingan, his age was thirteen, and his place of origin was Xiahe Village, Kaoshan Town, Huaining County, Anqing Prefecture, South Zhili Province. These were all easy to fill in, but there was still a column to fill in personal characteristics at the end. , Zhu Ping'an didn't know how to fill it out.
"Short and fat, with a silly face and no beard."
Just when Zhu Pingan didn't know how to fill it out, the instructor opposite said seriously.
Well
Why does the description sound like Wu Dalang! I'm short because I'm young, but I'm still growing; I'm slightly fat, but there's no way I'm fat. I've lost weight again in the past few days since the exam, but I still have baby fat on my face; am I stupid? Can you use thick instead of honest? I am honest and honest but not naive; no need, this is the only one that fits.
However, what the instructor described was not wrong.
have no choice. With a painful look on his face, Zhu Pingan followed the instructor's instructions and filled in the remarks column, "Short, slightly fat, with a silly face and no beard."
The instructor sitting opposite checked the confession that Zhu Ping'an had filled out and took out another piece of information stamped with information about prevention. He took out the one that belonged to Zhu Pingan, checked it, nodded, took the seal placed on the corner of the table in his hand, and pressed it on the ink pad. Then he pressed hard on Zhu Pingan's personal sacrifice.
"Alright, I will personally send the academic officer to you, and you will be assigned to the school according to your place of birth. Tomorrow at midnight, the academic officer will summon the new students at the Mingyuan Building of Gongyuan and give them a hairpin ceremony. Don't be late." After the instructor stamped Zhu Pingan's personal confession, he glanced at Zhu Pingan, and then reminded Zhu Pingan, "It is rare for you to enroll in school at a young age in our Ming Dynasty. Your future is limitless, so don't get caught up in it." If you fall into bad habits, you will destroy your walls."
"Thank you for your teaching. I will keep it in mind, student." Zhu Pingan nodded respectfully, thinking that there are still many scholars who can be independent, and this instructor must be one of them.
"Well, you go ahead." The instructor waved his hand expressionlessly, indicating that Zhu Pingan could leave.
Zhu Ping'an handed over and left. When passing by Xia Luoming and others, he apologized and left first.
Zhu Ping'an came out of Jiangnan Gongyuan and had not yet decided what to do next. Then he heard someone calling him.
"Hey, stop, what about you, that half-grown scholar!"
This is a girl's voice. There was anger in his voice.
"Sister, don't..."
Then another girl stopped her with a crying voice.
Zhu Ping'an raised his head and saw the girl he met in the morning who had fallen into a ponytail and had red eyes like a rabbit. She seemed to be crying. A pair of small hands tightly held a girl in her late teens, and the girl in her late teens was holding her hand tightly. The girl was glaring at him with an angry expression.
What's going on here? Zhu Pingan looked confused.
"You don't want anything, you stupid girl. How can you let others bully you in vain! What's wrong with us just trying to laugh? If we don't steal or rob, why should we be despised in vain!"
Seeing Zhu Pingan's "unrepentant" expression, the girl in her mid-teens became even more angry. She pushed away the hand that had fallen into a bun, ran up to Zhu Pingan, and glared angrily. Zhu Pingan.
"Why did you belittle my sister and make her cry bitterly for a while? I used to admire you for being a noble and gentle gentleman. Who would have thought that you are such a miserable person? You are like this when you are young, and you are still like this when you grow up. You must not be a polite beast or a well-dressed beast!"
Zhu Ping'an was stopped by this 18-year-old girl just after he left the tribute courtyard. He couldn't help but cursed her so hard that he almost got spit on her face.
What a mess, I didn’t even do anything myself.
"Did you forget to take your medicine?" Zhu Ping'an was speechless.
"What do you mean? I'm not sick, what kind of medicine should I take?" The angry seventeen-year-old girl looked confused when she heard this.
Well, no one in Ming Dynasty can understand this kind of words.
"I thought you were crazy for going out without taking your medicine." Zhu Pingan said calmly.
"You are crazy. Your whole family is crazy. I was so blind that I mistook you, a dressed-up beast, for a humble gentleman!" Only then did the seventeen-year-old girl understand Zhu Pingan, did you forget to take your medicine just now? The meaning of the greeting made me very angry, and new and old hatreds broke out at the same time.
The girl's movements have already attracted people in Jiangnan Gongyuan to look this way.
This is the gate of Gongyuan. As a new student, I am being blocked and scolded by two Qinhuai He'an women. Even if I think about it with my buttocks, I know that this situation is very bad for me.
In ancient times, it was probably a normal phenomenon for literati to have sex with prostitutes. What the government stopped was only for officials to have sex with prostitutes. The most common literati who had sex with prostitutes were those with romantic reputations.
But if he is pointed at and scolded by a promiscuous woman, then it is not a romantic reputation, it is probably just a bad reputation.
In Ming Dynasty, a bad reputation would be harmful to one's future. There will be exams for students in the future, and reputation will also be a reference for assessment.
"The scorching sun here adds to the anger, let's go to the shade over there and discuss it later."
Therefore, before few people in Jiangnan Gongyuan saw this scene, Zhu Pingan did not continue to argue with her, but immediately transferred the scene of the incident to another place. (To be continued.)
