Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

The Japanese beauties that Jiang Hongfei thought of were like Yui Aragaki, Satomi Ishihara, Kyoko Fukada, Masami Nagasawa, Izumi Itai, or Sora Aoi, Yui Hatano, Maria Ozawa.

Moreover, in Jiang Hongfei's impression, Japanese beauties all had long black and beautiful hair, gorgeous twelve-piece women's clothing, red lips and smiles, just like the princess Lian Ji played by Yui Aragaki in "BALLAD Unknown Love Song".

However, when Jiang Hongfei saw these so-called Japanese beauties, Jiang Hongfei, who had gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire, was almost scared by them and shouted "Help!".

Why do you think?

Jiang Hongfei was looking forward to beauties.

But what Jiang Hongfei saw was a lot of Sadako!

Bald eyebrows!

Big black teeth!

Pale white faces!

Where are Yui Aragaki, Satomi Ishihara, Kyoko Fukada, Masami Nagasawa, Izumi Itai, Sora Aoi, Yui Hatano, Maria Ozawa, they are all liars, all of them are ghosts!

At one point, Jiang Hongfei suspected that the right-wing army did not land on the road from Hokkaido, but all of them were buried in the sea, or they were possessed by evil spirits, so they brought back so many ghosts for him.

As for the seven-foot black hair and twelve-piece women's clothing that Jiang Hongfei had expected before.

There are.

Not to mention seven-foot black hair, there are black hair of one and a half feet, or even two feet long.

Jiang Hongfei seriously suspected that these Japanese women had never cut their hair since they were born.

Jiang Hongfei instantly thought of how much trouble their long hair would get in the way when he was doing things with them.

"If their hair is loose, they will look more like Sadako, oh my!"

In Jiang Hongfei's imagination, the twelve-piece women's clothing should be twelve pieces of embroidered single clothes of different colors stacked together, which looks colorful and gorgeous, and has a solemn and elegant classical beauty, just like the most luxurious, colorful, and brilliant costumes in the anime works such as "Young Onmyoji", "The Tale of Genji", and "In the Distant Time and Space".

The result is that Japan does not have such advanced textile technology at all.

The Japanese textile technology is called Nishijin weaving.

The origin of Nishijin weaving can be traced back to the Kofun period. Around the fifth and sixth centuries, the Qin family who came from the mainland settled in the mountain city country, which is now Kyoto Utsuma, and brought the technology of raising silkworms and reeling silk to Japan. As early as the fifth century before Emperor Kanmu built Heian-kyo, the textile industry in Kyoto had already started. With the relocation of the capital to Heian-kyo and the establishment of the "Oribisei-sama" responsible for managing court fabrics, the textile industry developed.

In the second half of the Heian period, this kind of official fabric workshop gradually declined, and craftsmen gathered and settled in Oshiner-cho, east of the Oribisei-sama, and began to work freely without the management of the court. They produced textiles such as "Oshiner's silk" and "Omiya's silk". In addition, they also studied the silk weaving technology brought from the Song Dynasty in China and developed the unique Tang silk, which was cherished by people as an elegant fabric that matched the decoration of shrines and temples.

But even Oshiner's silk, Omiya's silk, and Tang silk could not produce silk that was as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as gauze.

This made it impossible to have a beautiful twelve-piece women's dress.

The final result was that the twelve-piece women's dress looked very bloated when worn on Japanese women.

Jiang Hongfei felt that these Japanese women were tired when he looked at them.

This was really not Jiang Hongfei's illusion.

Later, Jiang Hongfei learned from Tamamonomae that the clothes these Japanese women wore, not counting the jewelry and accessories they wore all over their heads, weighed 30 to 40 kilograms, and that was Songjin.

The key point is that some Japanese women, in order to highlight themselves, not only wore 12 layers, but also 14 layers, 16 layers, and 18 layers. The most crazy one of them even wore 26 layers.

That weight must be more than 60 kilograms!

If you add the various jewelry, pendants, hairpins and ornaments that are not light, and the fans and handkerchiefs in their hands, the weight is simply unbelievable.

The key point is that these Japanese women are thin and dry, most of them are not more than 1.5 meters tall, and some are only 1.4 meters or even 1.3 meters tall.

Jiang Hongfei thought: "No wonder Japanese women have such a strong ability to withstand pressure, it turns out that they have practiced it a long time ago."

Later, Jiang Hongfei asked Tamamonomae and found out that the reason why Japanese women wear so many clothes is to show off their wealth.

After all, for the early Japanese, wearing one piece of clothing was a luxury. Wearing twelve pieces of clothing was definitely a sign of wealth, for women from large families.

To be honest, the "seven-foot black hair" and "twelve pieces of clothing" were not bad, at least Jiang Hongfei could barely tolerate them.

But Jiang Hongfei really couldn't tolerate the bald eyebrows, black teeth, and white face, even though he was very tolerant of women, tall or short, fat or thin, queen, loli, young woman, all kinds of beauties were willing to try.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if there were a few beautiful black pearls, Jiang Hongfei would be willing to try.

Jiang Hongfei really couldn't accept this "Japanese beauty".

Jiang Hongfei looked at Tamamonomae beside him and thought: "Japanese beauties are not like this either?"

Jiang Hongfei did not hide his doubts, he asked Tamamonomae directly: "Are these ghost girls your Japanese beauties?"

Hearing Jiang Hongfei use "ghost girls" to describe the Japanese beauties they sent, Ruan Xiaoqi and other people's confidants all felt a pang in their hearts. They regretted listening to those Japanese people and letting these Japanese beauties play freely, but Jiang Hongfei treated them as ghosts.

What made the confidants of Ruan Xiaoqi and others feel relieved was that Tamamo Mae also said: "She and others are indeed my Japanese beauties."

Jiang Hongfei believed that Tamamo Mae would not be innocent, but he still asked directly: "What is their beauty?"

Tamamo bowed before saying: "The marks used by Japanese nobles to distinguish whether they are adults or married are black teeth, white face, and bald eyebrows. This is also one of the standards by which Japanese people judge beauties... There are many reasons for this custom. , a symbol of noble status, a sign of loyalty to one’s husband, some people think it is a habit left over from primitive tribes, etc… In fact, I used to be like them.”

Jiang Hongfei said in surprise: "Have you been like this before?"

Tamamo-mae smiled and said: "Yes, I just guessed that the official might not like them, so when I met the official, I changed my Han clothes and my Han attire."

Tamamo Mae looked at the Japanese women again and said to Jiang Hongfei: "The clothes they are wearing are so heavy that they can crush them to death. Not to mention the lead white powder and light powder on their bodies, and the iron paste that stains their teeth. It is poisonous, and many of them will be poisoned by it, and most of them will not live past the age of thirty..."

Jiang Hongfei thought to himself: "Can we not be poisoned? The main component of lead white powder is lead, and the main component of light powder is mercury. The former can lead to chronic lead poisoning, with symptoms such as anemia, vomiting, and nerve paralysis. The latter, mercury poisoning, That is mercury poisoning, which usually directly affects people's nerves. The poisoned person first suddenly becomes irritable and violent, and then becomes dementia and forgetfulness. Finally, he cannot take care of himself, and even his movements are affected. The specific symptoms of mercury poisoning in the late stage are: The whole body is paralyzed. I don’t know what the Japanese think, so self-destructive?”

What Jiang Hongfei didn't know was that there was actually a kind of rice flour in Japan during this period that could also dye white noodles.

However, this white powder is too cheap, and its color is not as pure as lead white powder and light powder.

Therefore, those ministers and nobles who have the conditions use the more expensive lead white powder and light powder, while only lower-level ministers and civilians use rice flour.

After Tamamo Mae's narration, Jiang Hongfei learned that the black dye called "iron paste" they applied to their teeth was made by mixing tea, wine, vinegar and other liquids, then adding rusty scraps of iron filings, and then brewing it like wine. A viscous liquid formed by sealed fermentation and finally heating and boiling.

This liquid smells foul, is slightly toxic, and can seriously damage your gums and lead to oral infections.

In short, as Tamamoae said, it is really not easy for these Japanese women to survive.

Jiang Hong took a look after flying and found that only the two or three hundred people in the front had bald eyebrows, black teeth, and pale pink faces. There were also some people in the back who did not wear bald eyebrows, black teeth, or pale pink faces.

——Just now, Jiang Hongfei was frightened by the Sadako in front of him and didn't pay attention to these more normal ones.

Tamamo Mae explained to Jiang Hongfei: "Only married women wear this kind of makeup. Unmarried women are not allowed to wear such makeup."

After Tamamo Mae's explanation, Jiang Hongfei could probably guess that the Japanese women wearing ghost makeup in front of them must either have a very high status, at least they must be women from high-ranking officials, wealthy families, or gentry families, or they must have Extraordinary.

Jiang Hongfei really couldn't arouse sexual interest in these women wearing ghost makeup, so he took a closer look at the unmarried virgins behind them.

After taking a closer look, Jiang Hongfei discovered that the virgins behind were normal, but most of them were too young.

These Japanese women, well, to be precise, they should be Japanese girls. The oldest is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and some may be around ten years old, or even less than ten years old.

Seeing such a small Japanese girl, Ruan Xiaoqi and the others were also contributing, Jiang Hongfei couldn't help but frown.

Tamamo Mae guessed what Jiang Hongfei was thinking, and she took the initiative to explain to Ruan Xiaoqi and the others: "Most of the daughters of Japanese nobles are short-lived. Many of them died before the age of twenty, and very few can live past the age of forty. Therefore, women People usually get married when they are eleven or twelve years old, so there are not many older unmarried virgins. General Ruan and the others probably couldn’t find many of the right age, so they used these nearly-adults to make up their money.”

Tamamo Mae was only half right. Ruan Xiaoqi and the others sent these underage Japanese girls back because they couldn't find enough Japanese virgins who were old enough and beautiful.

However, this is also inseparable from the fact that the Japanese took the initiative to bring in beautiful and outstanding girls at home.

These Japanese beauties are either made up to look like ghosts, or they are all young girls. They are not like Yui Aragaki, Satomi Ishihara, Kyoko Fukada, Masami Nagasawa, Izumi Itai, Sora Aoi, Yui Hatano, and Maria Ozawa. Yes, Jiang Hongfei couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Sensing Jiang Hongfei's disappointment, Tamamo Mae pointed at the ghost girls in front of him and said, "Guan family, how about I take them to change into my Chinese clothes and let Xie see them?"

Jiang Hongfei thought to himself that this was what Ruan Xiaoqi and the others wanted after all, so he said, "Take them all and let the little ones cut off their long hair and change out of those heavy clothes, clothing, and accessories. I don't want to I like them like this.”

After Tamamo Mae accepted the order, he took these Japanese beauties to the harem.

In the evening, Jiang Hongfei returned from his official duties. When he took another look at these Japanese beauties, he immediately discovered a different scenery.

Though most of these Japanese beauties were short, they were not ugly. Jiang Hongfei even saw one who looked like Nagasawa Masami, one who looked like Itai Izumi, and one who looked like Hatano Yui.

Even those underage Japanese girls looked slimmer and more beautiful.

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei looked much better, Tamamonomae said, "General Ruan and his men did not deceive the emperor. These beauties are better than those in the Japanese imperial palace."

Fearing that Jiang Hongfei would not believe her, Tamamonomae explained, "The Japanese imperial family only married a few aristocratic families. Not to mention the poor and backward small families in the north, even some of the daughters of the great men in Kyoto could not enter the palace. The beauties here in the imperial family are all selected from the best. When they heard that they could serve the imperial family, many of them came willingly."

Tamamonomae did not lie. There were indeed many Japanese who heard that their women had the opportunity to serve Jiang Hongfei, so they tried their best to send their women here. They even arranged for this.

Jiang Hongfei did not comment on this.

Since there was nothing to do, he personally selected them.

In the end, only 300 were left, the ones he liked or the ones with beauty embryos. For the others, Jiang Hongfei had them sent to the Ministry of Rites, and asked the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War to jointly produce a list of meritorious soldiers and ministers, and distribute these more than 700 Japanese beauties.

—— Among these Japanese women, although there are daughters of Japanese dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry families, there are no daughters of the Japanese royal family or the royal family, who can be distributed to his subordinates.

After sending away the unwanted 700, Jiang Hongfei looked at the Japanese beauties who had washed away their makeup and nodded, not bad.

Then he looked at those who were not old enough, and they would definitely be good after a few years of keeping them.

That night, Jiang Hongfei selected more than a dozen Japanese beauties, including "Masami Nagasawa", "Izumi Itai", and "Yui Hatano", to sleep with him, to resist the Japanese once and to collect some interest for the Chinese who died in the Japanese invasion of China.

The next day, Jiang Hongfei issued an imperial decree: "Japanese women should no longer wear heavy formal clothes, bald eyebrows, black teeth, and white powder on their faces. Waist-length hair is fine. These unscrupulous customs are to be put to an end from now on."

Historical Records: The great emperor was merciful and could not bear to see Japanese women suffer from the evil customs. He abolished heavy clothes, bald eyebrows, black teeth, white powder on their faces, and long hair, so that Japanese women could be freed from the morbid elegance and vanity.
