The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Even though Yun Yanhui is time-traveling, he may have underestimated women's enthusiasm for beauty, a manicure quickly swept the streets and alleys.

First of all, it started from the street where they lived. In fact, Zheng Ping did not publicize it widely at all. She just went out for a stroll, and the sharp-eyed fellow women saw that her nails were different from the past, and she was different from everyone else. Everyone has different nails.

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, the power of communication in this era is not weak, Yun Yanhui understood this very early on, the gossiping people of Song Dynasty and the leisurely people of Bianjing have infinite enthusiasm for anecdotes big and small.

This night, many of Yunyan's neighbors ate takeaway, and their wives, mothers, and daughters were already addicted to this new thing.

On the second day, it centered on this street and spread out rapidly.

Don't forget that there are also big food merchants, they are also a spreading point.

After a few days, those who sell flowers, minerals and other natural dye raw materials in Bianjing discovered that their goods were almost out of stock!

At first, these businessmen were simply baffled.

Ha, why, all of a sudden, so many people are coming to buy our stuff?And the buying crowd is not the same as before?

Later, after inquiring, they realized that it was Bianjing who started to make tricks on nails.

Different from the monotonous dyeing of solid colors in the past, these women are really doing "flower" patterns, and various new patterns are constantly appearing. Bianjing women who often do embroidery work have their own sets, and many of them have quite high aesthetics. They present these on their nails.

But in contrast, it is the complaints of men.

Nail dyeing is already a very cheap way of beauty. If you are poor, you can collect raw materials yourself.But you can figure out a lot of tricks, so why not do it?

However, after female compatriots dye their nails, they are often less willing to work, or spend too much energy on housework.This belongs to the contradictions that need to be coordinated within their family...

Unexpectedly by Yun Yanhui, this trend swept through Bianjing. When Yun Yanhui saw many people with dyed nails on the street, she was already numb.

However, Yun Yanhui still didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation...

That's right, on this day, he went into the palace to report the demolition situation to Renzong.

"...there are so many private households who have signed the contract so far, and we are continuing to work hard." Yun Yan stood upright, and after the report was completed, he handed over the account.

Renzong, who was originally sitting with his sleeves wrapped around him, subconsciously reached out to pick it up, and when he reached out, Yun Yanhui saw it.

——There are petals of watermelon color dyeing on Renzong's fingernails.

Yunyan replied:! !

Renzong shrank his hands back in embarrassment, but realized that it was too late now, so he looked at his fingernails depressedly.

Renzong's hands are very well maintained, white and slender, with only some thin calluses from holding a pen, other than that, they are as smooth as jade, and the nails are also healthy and white.But now, some of the colors of watermelon petals are painted on it, with a red base and black seeds, some fill the nails, some are just a corner, some have skin, and some are just the flesh...

It looked so cute.

Well, cute is the only word to describe it.

Seeing Yunyan's terrified expression, Renzong dryly explained: "I don't know where it came from, I heard that now Manbian capital likes to paint on nails, the day before yesterday the noble concubine insisted on letting me... also... ..."

Renzong couldn't go on.

Yun Yan continued understandingly: "Happy with the people."

Renzong: "..."

Renzong smacked the word and nodded, "Well, have fun with the people! Sigh, it made me a little nervous. If the Qing family saw it, wouldn't they think I was not dignified."

Yunyan glanced at Renzong sympathetically. Although this thing became popular in his family, at least Zheng Ping and Shuangyi didn't force him to paint his nails.It was miserable for Renzong, a majestic emperor who was forced to do manicure.

Well, this is also the couple's interest in the family, Yun Yanhui thinks that she should not say anything more as a single dog.

However, despite Renzong's precautions, the news of his manicure was still spread, and there was a moderate war of words in the court.

Indeed, some people think that this is not very dignified, and the concubine in the harem is also a little ignorant.However, more ministers believed that everyone has a love for beauty. The Song Dynasty always admired beauty, and it was not uncommon for the elders to wear flowers and powder.

What happened to the nails?As long as the official is not forced, he can do whatever he likes.

——Of course, as an emperor, painting watermelons is still a little childish.

Someone suggested that His Majesty should be painted with golden dragons!

Renzong: "..."

The slobbering will not be resolved, and everyone has reached a consensus that official nails are not recommended for official occasions that are too formal.

However, this incident was widely circulated, which added the most important fire to Da Song's manicure.

Longevity, even the officials have dyed their nails!

What was originally a pleasure among women suddenly became a sign of conjugal love.

Didn't there used to be Zhang Chang's thrush?

Up to now, there is still Renzong manicure.

Women draw some signs of love on the husband's hands, which has become a kind of boudoir interest.In contrast, there are the fashion-forward prostitutes who also participate in it, which becomes a kind of elegant flirting again.

So soon, you can see a similar picture: In the workplace, everyone saw the color on the hands of their colleagues, and they laughed and joked. It seems that they are very affectionate with Mrs. Zun.

Or, seeing the pattern on the hand of a colleague seems to be the favorite of a famous prostitute, it will be even more teasing, oh, it seems that last night was spent last night?The color is so bright, it must be last night, right?

Or the husband and wife both draw the same pattern...

Yun Yan was in a mess!

What a magical Song Dynasty, wearing flowers and powder is not enough, do you still have manicures?

Fortunately, people like Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, and Zheng Ling around Yun Yanhui did not join the ranks. Of course, this should be because they neither married nor prostituted, in other words, they were single.

With the imagination and enthusiasm of the people of Bianjing, the first nail salon was opened in a short time, and it was still opened in Washeri, where you can do nail art—after all, it takes a long time—and go to theaters and so on. It is very convenient for pastime.

Not long after, Zheng Ping was also found.

It's the female family members of the Zheng family. They call Zheng Ling and they want to invite Zheng Ping to open a nail salon. Because Zheng Ping is the best female celebrity among the Zheng family generations, and her taste is also particularly high. It's because they know that Zheng Ping is actually the first person to start researching nail art.

Moreover, this also contains some information, the Zheng family is repairing their relationship with Zheng Ping step by step, and they feel that it is more and more necessary to bring Zheng Ping and her son into the Zheng family's power.

Zheng Ping was a little hesitant. She was very interested in opening a nail salon, because she was playing with it every day and had researched a lot of tricks, but should she agree to the Zheng family?

Yunyan returned and said to her: "Aniang, if you like it, we can open a store by ourselves, not necessarily with the Zheng family. If you want to open a store in Bianjing, your son's face is still worth it." some."

"Little shameless." Zheng Ping poked Yun Yanhui on the forehead.

Yun Yan covered her head back, "I'm already restrained! I'll ask Bao Futai to write an inscription for you, do you want it?"

"Nonsense." Although Zheng Ping said so much, she still laughed, "Let me think about it again."

Yun Yan left it to her to think about it, but within a few days, Zheng Ping said that she really wanted to open a nail salon with someone.

However, it was not with the female family members of the Zheng family, but with the eighth concubine.

Yun Yan was dizzy when she turned around, "What? Princess Wangfei?"

"Yes," Zheng Ping nodded, "that day I met Brother Chu and his mother, and we chatted together. The princess also likes dyeing nails very much. There’s a shop in Loujie.”

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Panlou Street, shit, just from the name of the place, I knew that the store they were going to open would be a high-end one, and that place would sell luxury goods like jewelry, spices and furs.Also, with the relationship of the princess, it is definitely impossible to open that kind of small shop in Washeri. It is said that it is a shop, which is almost the same as a stall.

Moreover, in this way, Yun Yan didn't have to help his mother to do the packing at all, the princess poked there, and some people were rushing to help her.

Yun Yanhui has a good impression of Wang Hao, and Wang Hao is also very kind to him, so when he heard that his mother and Wang Hao decided to open a shop together, Yun Yanhui felt that it was mysterious and normal.

Zheng Ping was also in that circle before, and both of them had a good temper, and the children played so well, so there would be no barriers between her and the princess.

Besides... Yun Yan just objected, is it useful?

He had seen his mother's ability to act and judge since he was a child.

Therefore, Yunyan can only applaud and celebrate, and wait for the store to open.

As for the Zheng family, Yun Yanhui also got angry with Zheng Ling, and heard that the female family members of the Zheng family were not angry, but a little helpless.

The concubine Wang and Zheng Ping discussed the name of the nail shop "Jade Sun Red". Although nail art is popular now and everyone's nails are already colorful, they still decided to use a more "traditional" logo.

Moreover, before the store officially opened, it has already received several orders from ladies and gentlemen of the royal family.

On Wangfei's side, together with Zheng Ping, they recruited many skillful women, who will be trained as masters in the shop.Zheng Ping is in charge of the main design, and the princess will also participate, so they can be regarded as having something to do.

Yun Yanhui also came up with some ideas. He asked them to study glue, so that other decorations can be glued to the nails, which is what modern people often do.

The concubine was overjoyed, if Zhao Yunchu hadn't pushed her desperately, she would have poached Bao Zheng's corner...

He once told Fu Yunfeng that when Yun Yanhui, who was overjoyed by them, could only admit that his judgment was wrong.His mother has already developed to participate in it anyway. Judging from the public reaction and related cultural popularity, this industry is destined to rise from now on, and it will continue to flourish.

Taking a step back, no matter what happens in the future, Renzong's "Happy with the People" and the poems left by many literati and poets for this are destined to leave such a small mark in history.
