While the two were chatting, Lama Wang's assistants brought over a set of clothes, hats and other items.
"What is this? Are the clothes ready?" Theodora couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, the whole outfit is ready." Guo Kang nodded: "To be honest, this outfit is a bit inconvenient for movement, so we kept her practicing in costume."
Little Jeanne expertly put on the nun's robe. The heroine Jeanna helped her tie her clothes, untied her hair tie, and spread out her braids, deliberately making her hair disheveled.
"It looks so weird..." Theodora muttered.
"There is no way." Guo Kang said: "We don't have special nun uniforms. This saint's costume is directly modified from the priest's costume."
The clerical clothing of the Purple Horde Khanate was also a half-baked product that was simplified and modified based on the clothing of the Orthodox Church. In fact, it is just an ordinary gown with a simple priest's robe outside.
The uniform and hierarchical rules for court officials can be copied from the Tang Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, but for priests, Seris has no such regulations at all and can only figure it out on his own. In the early years, in order to save money, ordinary priests basically used cheap linen in the original color and simply tied it with a cloth belt. Only high-ranking priests above the priest level will wear black and red attire. So, it has been used like this.
They also don't have special hats. They have long worn the white rimmed hats of Orthodox priests, and even copied the cloth hanging from them.
Of course, they are not alone in copying this form. The Ottoman Janissary also wore this kind of hat. Since they are originally from the same source, there is not much difference at all.
Later, this hat also differentiated. After the bureaucracy gradually improved, the Purple Horde Khanate began to make this kind of cylindrical hat with black yarn. Compared with the black gauze hat, it has a simple shape and no hat wings. Various red, purple, and gold colored threads are fixed directly on the side to show the rank and department.
The priest's hat developed into a soft hood like a turban. In the Orthodox Church, this kind of hat is generally only worn by senior clergy such as the Patriarch, but it is completely common in the Purple Horde Khanate. Finally, distinguish by color. Only the pure white one with a cross is reserved for the Patriarch. For the others, everyone can just go by their level.
As for the nuns' clothes, it almost depends on how each nun will design them.
In the early years of the Purple Horde Khanate, there were actually quite a few nuns. Because the war pressure was too great at that time, women also had to participate in transportation, guarding, and even short-distance battles. The high-intensity war has left many places in a situation where there are more boys and girls. It is not uncommon for women to lose their fathers, sons, and husbands.
As a result, these people gradually organized themselves and formed the early nuns, contacting and supporting each other in the name of spiritual practice.
At that time, the nunnery was more like an activity center for these women, or a place to house the homeless. The "nuns" inside could hardly be said to be full-time monastic women. However, since the application is successful, you can receive subsidies from the church, so the number of such civil organizations has always been large.
However, they are not officially clergy after all, so the church doesn't care what uniform they wear.
Some nunneries with better conditions will distribute clothes to the nuns on a regular basis, but the main purpose is actually as a subsidy - these days, for the poor, complete clothes are still not cheap, and having new clothes is a good benefit.
And those who don't have this condition, that is, when they organize regular gatherings, they wear everyday clothes, and at most they hang a cross or wear a hat to express their identity.
Therefore, there is really no nun uniform here in the strict sense. However, everyone has seen a lot of grassroots priests, so they subconsciously feel that "this is how people who chant scriptures should be", causing the nuns' clothes to also move closer to this style.
Soon, little Jeanne finished dressing up.
She put on a tawny robe and wore a large, slightly lighter-colored patriarchal hood on her head. The heroine Jeanne helped her straighten the hanging cloth from her hat, put it on her shoulders, and finally put a prop crown on her head.
"I think this combination is quite handsome." Tuo Huan commented: "When we were designing before, we also took reference from the Roman Catholic nuns' uniforms, but I felt that they had no personality at all and could not see the characteristics of a saint. It doesn’t have the domineering power that high sanctity brings.”
"If you change the color of this body, you can be like a god." Guo Kang complained: "It's really domineering..."
"Isn't that crown in the way?" Theodora pointed out the level issue: "Is this to correspond to the legendary princess? Can she, a princess, wear this?"
"Whatever, the Ming Dynasty doesn't wear crowns." Guo Kang said there was no need to worry: "Just say it was a souvenir given to her by the locals to show respect. People will not be so lenient."
"Which one is nobler, the princess of Rome or the princess of the Ming Dynasty?" Theodora and he seemed to be thinking about a completely different issue, and he didn't know what to care about.
"This is definitely not a question of who is noble - we are all our own people, let me tell the truth." Guo Kang spread his hands and said bluntly: "If you look at the bloodline, then you will become the little leader of the grassland and the commoner of Huaiyou, who The bloodline is more noble. It’s not the third generation in ancient times, so how can it be compared with the bloodline?”
"Genghis Khan's father was the third son of Hebul Khan's second son. Even among the Qiyan tribe, there have been two generations in a row where he was neither the heir nor the elder. By virtue of his outstanding performance in the war with the Jin Kingdom, , and became a small-headed man in a tribe. Ming Taizu was even more miserable, and everyone knows the story of his rise."
"So, this is not a question of who is more noble." He pointed at little Jeanne: "Or to put it more bluntly, whoever can defeat her fourth grandfather will be more noble than her."
"So it's not appropriate for you to ask me this question. Just ask Tuo Huan if you can beat him."
What he said was actually the truth, but Theodora seemed a little unwilling to do so.
"I don't think I can do it anyway. I've even lost to 'Shi Zetian', and it would be even worse to meet him." Tuo Huan saw her looking at him and shook his head repeatedly: "And why are you so entangled? Let's and Jin Zhang Khan Some people question our relationship, but our legitimacy does not depend on our bloodline."
"The rules on the grassland are that whoever has the biggest fist is noble. If Zhu Ge has the biggest fist, then he is Hehan." He was quite open-minded about this: "In Rome, the one with the strongest troops and horses has always been the great emperor. Will he become a little emperor? This is not difficult to understand, right?"
"As for our grandpa's family, isn't their problem just that they are too dishonest?"
