Chapter 87: The Linen Clothes that Could Be Used For a Marriage Proposal
Liu Feng hadnt expected that Weya would faint just by knowing that she was wearing his clothes. He thought that it was partially because Weya hadnt fully recovered and partially because of the stimulation from the knowledge of wearing his clothes that caused her heart to beat too fast for her to handle, leading her to faint.
It seems that Im actually pretty handsome for a girl to faint from the excitement of wearing my clothes.
Liu Fengs narcissism made Anri cover her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from bursting out in laughter. She knew that the actual reason was that Weya had been in a constant state of shock and excitement, so her heart had been beating rapidly the whole time, and that had caused her to faint. Well, she wasnt going to tell Liu Feng that though.
They could only head back to the City Lords Mansion after Weya fainted. Mina carried Weya the whole time, and Weya had woken up halfway but had pretended to still be unconscious because she was too embarrassed to see Liu Feng.
What do I do? Im not pure anymore, am I? Weya had constantly been thinking about that problem. Mother said that before she gets married, a girl must be clean and pure. A girl cant hold a boys hand, cant let a boy see her naked body, and ca- cant wear a boys clothes!
Weya had always remembered the 108 boy-proofing styles that her mother had taught her, which had apparently been created by her mother and father together before she was born.
Its over! Weya, youre not pure anymore. You will definitely get pimples on your body. Mother said that if you touch something from a boy, you must wash your hands or you will get pimples. Weya then thought about how she had been wearing Liu Fengs clothes for the whole night. My body must be full of pimples now, right?
Thinking this, a shiver ran through Weyas body, and her head felt a bit dizzy again.ViiSiit for latest novels
If Liu Feng knew what Weya was thinking, he would be sighing about how innocent the people in this world were.
Well, Anri was just playing a joke on you. The clothes are all brand new. Young Master has yet to wear them.
Weya turned her head to the source of the sound and saw Mina.
Really? Weya asked in a small voice.
Really! Mina nodded her head. She remembered that when she was little, her mother had told her that girls shouldnt let themselves be taken advantage of by boys, and one of the things that her mother had taught her was that girls shouldnt wear boys clothes. As such, she could understand Weyas feelings, and she thought that it would be fine to tell her a well-intentioned lie.
Otherwise, there was no way a noble like Tory would want to buy Liu Fengs clothes- one of their objectives was to study the clothes to see if they could learn anything.
Clothes were indispensable for people, and the commoners that could afford to wear a complete set of clothes could be said to be living a pretty decent life. Most of the commoners would only have 2 sets of clothes for one family.
A while ago, when Liu Feng had been on Earth, he had seen an interesting piece of information on the internet. A family with multiple men that only had 2 sets of clothes would have the clothes be used exclusively by the 2 men that would be out working during the day. The other men would wait until nighttime before going out to work, as that way, no one would be able to see that they werent wearing clothes.
The information was a bit exaggerated, but it was pretty accurate in this world. Many of the kids- only the boys- would be out naked.
Well, the root cause of this problem was the low production and high cost of linen in the industry. Just a square meter of linen would cost dozens of copper coins, and the clothes made from that linen were too expensive for most families to afford.
The reason that Weyas parents had scared her into not wearing a boys clothes was because of how expensive and rare linen was. As such, wearing a boys clothes was basically an acceptance of the boys love.
If a boy got home naked (assuming that he went out wearing clothes), there were two possibilities. The first was that the boy gave his clothes to the girl that he loves for her to take home, and the girls family would use the clothes to judge how good the boys family was doing financially. The other possibility was, well, the boy was robbed and stripped of his clothes.
Not only could linen clothes be used for wedding proposals, but they could also represent a persons face as it shows how well off they are. As such, families that could afford to buy new clothes were the envy of their neighbors.
Authors Notes:
Felt groggy after waking up in the morning. I didnt even get the chance to brush my teeth before I started to write. ().
Translators Notes:
The author does not say whether its a square meter of linen or a meter of linen thread.
Those of you that thought the forbidden behavior mentioned earlier was something else (you know what Im talking about), raise your hand, go over to the reflection corner, and reflect on your thoughts.
For some reason, part of my house has no electricity and the other part of my house has electricity. Also took a 3-hour nap cause no alarm to wake me from my nap due to no electricity, so here I am up translating past my bedtime.
