The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 80: Bao Heizi Whitening Note

Yun Yan Hui is very sad and angry!

Who is talking nonsense? Obviously you people are talking nonsense, okay?

That's all for the old woman. It can be said that her memory is not good because of her age, but everyone present tacitly agreed that she was right, Bao Zheng was at least forty or fifty years old.

In modern times, when people mention Bao Zheng, the image in their mind is always a middle-aged uncle, probably because it is more stable and matches his identity. However, this is obviously an era when Bao Zheng himself was still young, why would anyone think that he is old? ?

Yun Yan replied speechlessly: "Really, our mansion is only twenty-five years old." It was still false.

Although sometimes Yun Yanhui feels that Bao Zheng has a calm temperament and a dark face, and looks older than his actual age, but no matter how old he looks, it won't change from twenty-five to fifty-two, right?

An uncle said with plausibility: "How can the old parents only be in their twenties, you are clearly nonsense."

——Although the old parents here refer to Bao Zheng, they are not saying that he is old. This is a respectful title for local officials, which means loving the people like a son.

When Yun Yan heard it back, she seemed to understand why some people thought that Bao Zheng was very old.

As far as I know the position of Kaifeng Mansion, the people who sat there before were probably in their 30s or 40s, and this is the age when they became officials and achieved good results. They have been tempered.

After Bao Zheng entered the Kaifeng Mansion, he did a lot of practical things, and he became famous. At the same time, his very young things did not spread - Yun Yan returned to private speculation because he was a bit big, and he was also very famous. It's too dark. After all, most of the people who gossip about other people's age are those women and comrades who care about marriage and appearance. Song people regard white as beauty, so naturally even if they see him, they are not interested in gossip about their age.

In fact, Bao Zheng is an outlier!

It is not surprising that he was admitted to the jinshi examination at a young age. There were many prodigies in the Song Dynasty. However, after only a few months as a magistrate, he jumped at the n-rank and became the Shao Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture. Know Kaifeng House. His resume cannot be inferred with common sense.

This is a protagonist who has opened up...

Yun Yanhui doesn't know how to explain it to everyone, and now no one believes what he says, so he can only say helplessly: "Okay, just be happy."

He felt that when he went back, he really wanted to remind Bao Zheng. If things go on like this, it will affect his reputation in the dating market! Bao Zheng is now focused on government affairs and has not married yet, but it is impossible for him not to get married in the future.

Thinking of this, Yun Yanhui thought of another thing, and made a secret decision in her heart.

Knowledge took Xiaobao to Jingdi before, but he sent a letter to someone not long ago, and he was already on his way back. After another week or so, he returned to Beijing.

Yunyan went back to Daxiangguo Temple to pick up the wind and wash the dust together. By the way, she asked for a batch of facial masks.

I have heard him talk about what he has been busy with recently, and said: "You don't need to go out recently, and you haven't tanned your face. Is this for your mother?"

Yunyan replied: "No, I brought it to Baofutai."

"Bao Wenzheng?" He was stunned, "Is he dead?"

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yunyan replied: "Master! Can you not speak so directly?"

Understoodly, he said: "I blurted it out..."

Xiaobao also echoed: "Brother, skin and skin are all born, and Baofutai is not so dark after being exposed to the sun every day. This face-cleaning medicine can't change anything."

"What do you know, two-thirds of him are born, one-third are unmaintained, and only a little can be saved." Yun Yan replied with emotion, "Anyway, it also represents our Kaifeng mansion. Image, I really have been ignoring this point. Bao Futai is actually quite decent, but people today don't appreciate black skin."

If you put it in modern times, although some people say that he is black, there are definitely many people who appreciate it. After all, Yunyan should come back to see that Bao Zheng's blackness is the level of the black version of Gu Tianle, but it's just that everyone loves it. The white Song Dynasty looks particularly dark, definitely not to the extent that it cannot be found at night.

Nodding clearly: "Bao Wenzheng really doesn't like to take care of his face. I think he never arranges flowers, and never puts powder on it."

Yun Yan Hui almost got goosebumps, "I won't say anything about arranging flowers, can Fu Fan still see it? When I sweat, it's full of grooves, which does not match the color of my skin."

Song people, both men and women, love flowers, but Yun Yanhui can sell flowers and animals, but he never wears flowers. He has a lotus leaf on his face and he can't love to drink, let alone wearing flowers. Not only did he not wear it, he also refused to ask Xiaobao, Zhao Yunchu, Zheng Ling and others to wear it, at least not in front of him because it looked awkward.

Knowingly imagined the scene, and immediately felt that I couldn't bear to look directly, so I took out the mask.

Yunyan distributed a jar to Xiaobao: "Baby, you also apply it. A-niang will feel distressed when she sees it."

This time out, Xiaobao was also exposed to the wind and the sun. He suffered a lot on the journey, and his face became darker. And because the time spent going out is relatively long, the young man has a long body, and he looks the same every day.

Yunyan returned with a few cans of facial masks and facial cleansers, ran to Bao Zheng's place, and put everything down.

Bao Zheng was reading the documents and looked up to see that he was holding a bunch of bottles, "What is this? Medicine?"

"It's medicine, but it's not for wounding, it's for washing and applying face." Yun Yanhui introduced to Bao Zheng solemnly, "Contains effective whitening substances such as coix seed, white Poria, etc., which are all natural and handmade. Many Bianjing customers have experienced it personally, and the effect is excellent."

Bao Zheng knew what he was going to do as soon as he heard it, and lowered his head again, "I know I'm black, but I don't need this."

"Fu Zun, listen to people's persuasion to eat enough!" Yun Yan replied, "A few days ago, I went to send relief, you know? Those people actually thought you were forty or fifty years old!"

Bao Zheng was frightened, "What? Although I'm a little darker, I won't look old like that!"

Yun Yan scare him back first, and then explained: "Of course, this is because everyone thinks that you are in this position, according to the usual promotion speed, you should be older. However, I passed this When you think about it, you should pay attention to your image. You represent Kaifeng House, and your face is the face of Kaifeng House. Besides, are you married yet?"

Bao Zheng: "..."

Bao Zheng: "I didn't expect my face to be so important... But, I've been so black since I was born. My family calls me Heizi, even if there is medicine, it's useless, right?"

"Whether it works, you'll know when you use it." Yun Yan took a piece of paper and wrote down the frequency and method of use, "Futai, remember to use it on time~"

Bao Zheng looked at the medicine, and was stunned for a while, then sighed helplessly, "The face is not his own anymore."

Since Yun Yanhui brought the medicine back, Bao Zheng has been really good at it, using it every day, the changes have really changed, about two shades whiter, and the skin tone has become much more even, and it looks very dark and delicate.

Although it is still black after two shades of white, it is a lot whiter than himself.

Bao Zheng's remark shocked the emperor's eyes and ears.

During the court meeting, Renzong asked very seriously: "Bao Qing, I think you seem to be a lot whiter recently."

Bao Zheng froze suddenly, "..."

A few officials couldn't help but laugh.

After all, whoever sees an official saying "You're a lot whiter" to a black man can't help it, even if he knows that this colleague is really a lot whiter, he will only say "You're a lot whiter". It's really black, and it's still black after white."

Bao Zheng never thought that the official family was still concerned about national affairs in the last sentence, and the next sentence was transferred to his face, but above the hall, the official family asked questions, and it was difficult not to answer. After weighing it, he had to He replied respectfully: "I have indeed been using face-cleaning medicine recently, but it was personally made by Zen Master, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, and it has the effect of whitening the skin."

An official said with emotion: "Every time this medicine comes out, Zhuojing has to buy it, but it's really rare, and there are times when it's not available."

Renzong: "Oh? It's so tight?"

Several officials echoed, all of whom were wives and concubines obsessed with skin care.

Renzong seemed to realize that not only was the Zen master profound in Buddhism and medicine, but he was also a friend of women. , then this is really the first in the Song Dynasty."

Bao Zheng: "..."

As soon as Renzong's imperial mouth opened, this medicine was not famous in the past, and it will become famous all over the world, not to mention that it is already famous in the capital, and now it is priceless in the market, and many people can't buy it.

But Bao Zheng was distressed, because as the whitening medicine became famous all over the world, the phrase "even Bao Qing's face was whitened" also spread, and it was taken out of context, regardless of the background, resulting in Bao Zheng's face is about to become a new landscape in Kaifeng!

——There are always local citizens or foreign tourists squatting outside Kaifeng Mansion, just waiting for an opportunity to look at him to see how white the officials praised him.

Even the officials of the Kaifeng prefecture or their colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty, can't help but look at Bao Zheng, but they will comment very well: Well, it's really white!

The result is that this has almost become an unsolved mystery in Kaifeng - why does the official say that the Kaifeng mansion is white, and that medicine is indeed very effective, but everyone sees him as black and white?

All kinds of reasons are flying all over the sky, and people just want to: I understand the truth, but why do officials praise him for being white?

The one who rescued Bao Zheng was in late December, when diplomatic envoys from various countries arrived one after another. At least, the people in Kaifeng Mansion were too busy to look at him.
