Gu Yifeng was dressed in a deep red Daoist robe, a departure from his usual Python Robe as a military general, presenting a rarely seen scholarly appearance.
Although it was an ordinary Daoist robe, Gu Yifeng wore it with an air of Daoist serenity and immortal grace.
Nowadays, scholars typically wore such upper and lower garments, coupled with wide-sleeved Daoist robes; another variant was an outer Daoist robe or tunic, or simpler narrow-sleeved long robes.
The first style was mostly worn by those inclined towards tranquility and freedom, the second by renowned scholars, and the last by ordinary people.
The first style, with its grandeur, was favored by the aristocracy, embodying elegance and charm.
Gu Yifeng was usually perceived as stern and distant; today, this charming demeanor left everyone present astonished.
The older nannies were less affected, unlike the young maids who might stir their affections.
