025 I come too

From this night, Li Mu and Yan's family have become much closer, no longer the awe and alienation they had before.

At night, Chuxue finally plucked up the courage to ask Li Mu to change his clothes, take them to the outer room and disassemble them all, and then sew them carefully one stitch at a time.

When it comes to sewing, Chuxue's skills are much better than Li Mu. Li Mu only wore clothes while wearing them, and the requirements were not high, so naturally there was no beauty at all.

But when it came to Chuxue's hands, the clothes were not only sewn again, but also carefully cut them. Li Mu was more fit and more energetic when wearing them, which made Li Mu very satisfied.

After trying the clothes, Chuxue carefully washed the clothes and placed them on the railings on the porch to dry overnight. As soon as the sky was dawn, Li Mu could have new clothes to wear.

However, Chuxue's delight was destroyed by Old Man Chen. After nearly a month of sailing, the paddle steamer Li Mu and his friends finally arrived in San Francisco.

When the paddle steamer sailed into the San Francisco port, Old Man Chen summoned all the "international students" and gave a lecture first, emphasized discipline, and then took out pre-prepared outfits for the children.

This set of clothes includes a white cloth shirt and pantyhose, a white Kusha clamp pants, a crimson purple satin gown, a blue long-sleeved jacket, a pair of black satin boots, and a black satin hat. If you wear the full set, you will have a strip on your forehead, and you will look like a little zombie.

Li Mu was not grateful for such clothes, so when the other children were busy changing clothes, Li Mu sat on the round stool as steady as Mount Tai.

This naturally aroused the idea of ​​Old Man Chen, but Old Man Chen is now extremely disappointed with Li Mu and is too lazy to pay attention to Li Mu, so he changed to Old Man Chen's aide to come to Li Mu.

It was the fat middle-aged aide who had the idea to get rid of Li Mu.

"The rest of the students are busy changing their clothes, why don't you change them?" The fat white man didn't feel that he was not welcome at all, and came to Li Mu's side with a stern voice.

"I'm sorry, this adult, a poor student, is ignorant and has never worn such a complete set of clothes, so I don't know how to wear it-" Li Mu didn't mean to get up and salute, just sat on the stool and answered casually, just crossing his legs to indicate that I don't know you.

The fat white man almost choked to death by Li Mu.

You are a poor person, you are a ignorant person, you just spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a few servants yesterday, don't think I don't know-

The fat white almost roared.

"Come on, I'll teach you--" Fatty White gave up communicating with Li Mu and prepared to serve the old man in person.

"It's useless to wear it. Look at each of them with a braid. I'm bare and nothing. Even if I'm dressed neatly, how can I look good when I stand together?" Li Mu had a good reason.

Nee, this is really a problem. It is related to the national system and should not be taken lightly. The fat white man immediately went to discuss with Old Man Chen.

After hearing the fat white man’s report, Old Man Chen was obviously dumbfounded. After crushing several beards, Old Man Chen whispered a few instructions in the fat white man’s ear.

The fat white man immediately rushed out and was able to participate in the Olympics at a speed.

After a while, the fat white man quickly came back with a small bag, pulled Li Mu into the inner room, and then secretly stuffed it to Li Mu. When Li Mu opened it, he saw that there was a black satin hat with a braid tied behind it. This time it was Li Mu's turn to be stunned.

"This - do you still have this thing?" Li Mu picked up his hat and asked in a daze.

"Worry, my master—" The fat white man's expression was still a little nervous, and he almost reached out to cover Li Mu's mouth.

When the Qing government entered the pass, it was indeed a rule that "leaving hair but not leaving heads". At that time, it was to use the law of cruelty to eliminate the Han people's resistance to the Manchus and make the Han people honestly obey the people. "Our Qing Dynasty" has lasted for 236 years, and the Han people have completely lost their minds to resist the Qing Dynasty. This ban is equivalent to being in name only.

In fact, it has long been in name only. The Qing Empire Forbidden City Museum has portraits of emperors of all dynasties in the Qing Dynasty, and the portraits of Kangxi have temples. This shows that Kangxi's hairstyle at that time was no longer "money rat tail", and at least it has evolved into "yin and yang head". Even the royal family did not comply with the regulations of his ancestors, and the ministers below were even more optional. What's more, the important officials of the court were always old. When people get old, they will lose their hair, or they will be gray, or they will be completely white, or if they get angry and bald, would they not be the official?

So there were all kinds of hats with braids, which was an open secret in the Qing Dynasty's officialdom.

Of course, Old Man Chen, who is over 60 years old, has prepared such a hat, in case of emergencies, but it was handy for Li Mu.

Everyone has already served this, and Li Mu doesn’t have much to say more, just wear it. Old Man Chen has to give him fifty dollars a month, and he always has to give him face to him-

As a result, there was another problem after wearing it halfway.

Li Mu was knocked unconscious on the eve of the boat and got on board. Naturally, it was impossible to tailor-made clothes for Li Mu anymore, so Li Mu's clothes were obviously smaller. The robe was similar to a jacket. Putting down the horse's hoof sleeves had to reveal your wrists, and shoes could only be worn as slippers.

If you wear this out, it will not be a fight for the empire, but will be a disgrace to the national system.

Now even Old Man Chen had no choice. He and Fatty White were in a hurry in the room. He heard that the military band on the shore had already started playing music, and the crowd waiting to greet him had already started cheering. Old Man Chen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely that he wanted to faint so as not to have a headache here.

"It really doesn't work - I have a way-" Li Mu was afraid of killing Old Man Chen to death, so he actively helped Old Man Chen find a way.

"What's the solution?"

"Tell me quickly!" Old man Chen and fat white man grabbed Li Mu's hand almost at the same time.

"There is a man named Yan Shun beside me. His figure should be similar to this set of clothes-" Just as Li Mu was halfway through his words, Old Man Chen and Fatty White turned around and wanted to snatch the door, but ended up hitting the door full of his arms.

Old man Chen is still very graceful and pretends to be calm: "Go and call Yan Shun here-"

The fat white man didn't care about etiquette at this moment and ran away with his robe.

Soon, Yan Shun, who was confused, was brought over by a fat white man. After another tossing, although it still didn't fit well, it was much more pleasing to Li Mu's clothes. At least it was not so eye-catching when mixed in a bunch of small zombies.

When the little zombies lined up the gangway, Li Mu, who had already changed into a cowboy, stood at the bow of the boat and opened his arms in the warm sea breeze of the San Francisco Bay Area.
