Infinite Streamer

The more Li Qingzhao thought about it, the more she felt lucky to have met a man like Brother Lin who was tall, heroic, versatile, and attentive, and who was not afraid of the risk of being bitten to death or injured by a leopard, and who rescued her safely from the leopard's mouth.

"I have nothing to repay you with, but..." Li Qingzhao said with great relief, but was interrupted by the "bang bang bang bang" sound of gongs coming from outside. Then someone called out the name loudly, "Sir Li, the registrar, has arrived!", and then a group of people filed into the inn.

The leader was wearing a reddish-brown official robe, had three long beards, and had a fair face. It was the uniform of a registrar in the imperial army. His rank was relatively high, equivalent to the current department and bureau level. The other seven or eight people looked like servants.

It turned out to be Li Qingzhao's father Li Gefei. He returned home after leaving the yamen and heard that his daughter Li Qingzhao had gone to Shili Langyao with Lin Chong. While in the yamen, he learned that a peddler had reported to the government that a leopard was found in Shili Langyao injuring people. It was getting dark, and his daughter Li Qingzhao still hadn't returned. So he didn't bother to change out of his official uniform, and went to look for Li Qingzhao with many servants, and finally found the inn where Lin Chong was staying.

Li Gefei was relieved to see that his daughter was alive and well. Although she was injured, she had obviously been carefully bandaged. She looked clear and spoke fluently. He then learned that it was Lin Chong who killed two leopards weighing over 100 kilograms with his bare hands. He realized that this man was indeed a hero.

Li Gefei looked at Lin Chong carefully. He saw that Lin Chong was tall and slender, about 1.8 meters tall, with a heroic face, and had the heroic spirit of a soldier and the demeanor of a person who had been in a superior position for a long time.

You should know that "where you live changes your temperament, and what you are fed changes your body. How great is your home!" This means that status and environment can change a person's temperament, and what you are fed can change a person's physique. A person's temperament changes with changes in status and treatment.

From Mencius: "Living changes one's spirit, nourishing one's body, how great is living!"

Lin Chong also looked at Li Gefei in front of him. The red official uniform he wore indicated that he was among the high-ranking officials. There is a line in a poem, "The whole court is full of nobles, all of whom are scholars", which means that the nobles in the court wearing red and purple official uniforms are all those who love to read. It comes from the "Prodigy Poem" by Wang Zhu, a famous scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty: "In the morning, I was a farmer, and in the evening, I was in the emperor's hall. Generals and ministers are not born with the same kind of talent, and men should be self-reliant. You must study hard when you are young, and you can establish yourself with articles. The whole court is full of nobles, all of whom are scholars." It means that kings, princes, generals and ministers are not born with the same kind of talent, and children from poor families can become pillars of society if they work hard, and good men should work hard to become pillars of society. In my country's traditional feudal society, if children from poor families want to become pillars of society, they must pass the imperial examination.

The colors of the clothing of officials in the Song Dynasty were clearly differentiated according to their ranks. Some wore purple, some wore red, and some wore green or blue.

Official clothing in the Song Dynasty had strict rank restrictions. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, officials above the third rank wore purple, officials above the fifth rank wore red, officials above the seventh rank wore green, and officials above the ninth rank wore blue. After the reform of Emperor Shenzong’s Yuanfeng reign, it was stipulated that officials above the fourth rank wore purple, officials above the sixth rank wore scarlet, and officials above the ninth rank wore green. Official clothing in the Song Dynasty was purple for officials above the third rank, red for officials above the fifth rank, green for officials above the seventh rank, and blue for officials above the ninth rank. During the Yuanfeng reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1078-1085 AD), it was changed to purple for officials above the fourth rank, scarlet for officials above the sixth rank, and green for officials above the ninth rank. Those who wore scarlet and purple were required to wear goldfish bags and silverfish bags, and different colors represented different ranks of officials.
