The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 145: The rise of nail art in the Song Dynasty

Even though Yun Yanhui was traveling, he may have underestimated women's passion for beauty. A manicure quickly swept the streets.

First of all, it started from the street where they lived. In fact, Zheng Ping didn't publicize it widely at all. She just went out for a walk, and the sharp-eyed compatriots saw her different nails from the past. Also different nails from everyone.

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, the communication power of this era is not weak. Yun Yanhui understood this very early. The gossip people of the Song Dynasty and the leisurely people of Bianjing have unlimited access to small and large anecdotes. enthusiasm.

This night, many of Yun Yanhui's neighbors were eating takeaways. Their wives, mothers, and daughters were all addicted to this new thing.

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

Don't forget there's also the Food Merchant side, they're also a spreader.

After a few days, those who sold natural dyes such as flowers and minerals in Bianjing discovered that their goods were all out of stock!

At first, these businessmen were inexplicable.

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

Later, after inquiring about them, 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. The women in Bianjing who often do embroidery work have their own sets, and many of them have quite high aesthetic, they present these on their nails.

But in contrast, it is the complaints of men.

Dyeing nails is already a very inexpensive way of beauty. If you are poor, you can collect the ingredients yourself. But you can figure out a lot of tricks, so why not do it?

However, after female compatriots have dyed their nails, they are often reluctant to work, or spend too much energy on housework. This is a contradiction that needs to be coordinated within their family...

In the case that Yun Yanhui didn't even think of it, this trend swept Bianjing. When Yun Yanhui saw many people dyed their nails on the street, he was already numb.

However, Yun Yanhui still did not expect that he would encounter such a situation...

It's like this. On this day, he went to the palace to report the demolition situation to Renzong.

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

Renzong, who was sitting with his sleeves covered, subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but Yun Yanhui saw him when he reached out.

——Renzong's fingernails were dyed with petals of watermelon.

Yunyan replied:! !

Renzong shrank his hands in embarrassment, but realized that it was too late now, and looked at his fingernails dejectedly.

Renzong's hands are exceptionally well-maintained, white and slender, with only a few thin calluses from holding a pen. In addition, they are as smooth as jade, and the nails are also healthy white and translucent. But now, it is painted with the color of some watermelon petals, red bottom, black seeds, some fill the nails, some are only a corner, some have skin, some are just melon flesh...

It looks so cute.

Well, cute is the only word to describe it.

Seeing Yun Yanhui's terrified expression, Renzong explained dryly: "I don't know where it came from. I heard that Manbian Capital likes to paint on nails now. The day before yesterday, the imperial concubine insisted that I... ...and..."

Renzong couldn't go on.

Yunyan Hui continued with understanding and understanding: "Have fun with the people."

Renzong: "..."

Renzong touched the word and nodded, "Well, having fun with the people! Alas, it made me a little nervous. If I were seen by the Qing family, wouldn't I be considered dignified."

Yun Yan gave Ren Zong a sympathetic look back. Although this thing became popular from his family, at least Zheng Ping and Shuang Yi did not force him to paint his nails. Renzong was miserable. A dignified emperor was forced to do manicures.

Well, this is also the love of husband and wife in other people's homes. Yun Yanhui feels that he is a single dog and should not say anything more.

However, although Renzong was on guard, rumors about him doing manicures spread, and there was a small war of words in the courtroom.

Some people do think this is not very dignified, and the harem concubine is a bit ignorant. However, more ministers believe that everyone has a love for beauty, and the Song Dynasty has always advocated beauty, and the elders wear flowers and powders.

What's wrong with dyed nails? As long as the official family is not forced, he can do whatever he likes.

——Of course, as an emperor, painting watermelon or something is still a little naive.

Someone suggested that His Majesty should paint golden dragons!

Renzong: "..."

The war of saliva is over, and everyone has reached a consensus that it is not recommended for officials to dye their nails on too formal occasions.

And this matter has been widely circulated, adding the most important fire to Da Song Nail Art.

It's too long, even the official family dyes their nails!

What was once a fun among women suddenly became a sign of love between couples.

Isn't there an open thrush in the past?

To this day, there is also Renzong manicure.

Women painted some love symbols on the hands of the husband, which became a kind of boudoir interest. In contrast, there are prostitutes who lead the fashion. They also participate in it, which has become a kind of elegance.

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

Or, seeing that the pattern on the hands of a colleague seems to be the favorite of a certain courtesan, then it is even more ridiculed, oh yo, it seems that it was over night last night? The color is so bright, it must be last night, right?

Or couples draw the same pattern...

Yunyan's back is messy!

What a magical Song, it's not enough to wear flowers and powder, do you still have manicures?

Fortunately, Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, Zheng Ling and other people around Yun Yanhui did not join the ranks. Of course, this should also be because they are neither married nor married, in other words, single A group of dogs.

With the imagination and enthusiasm of Bianjing people, it didn't take long for the first nail salon to open. It was still opened in Washeri. You can do manicures - after all, it takes a long time - while watching Pastimes such as plays are very convenient.

Not long after, Zheng Ping was also found.

These are the female relatives of the Zheng family. Their name is Zheng Ling. They want to invite Zheng Ping to open a nail salon. Since Zheng Ping is the best female celebrity in the Zheng family, the corresponding taste is also good. Especially high, because they knew that Zheng Ping was the first person who started to study nail art.

In addition, 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 include Zheng Ping and her son into the Zheng family's power.

Zheng Ping is a little hesitant. She is very interested in opening a nail salon, because she is playing with it every day and has developed a lot of tricks, but do you want to agree to the Zheng family?

Yunyan returned to her and said to her: "Auntie, if you like it, we can open a family by ourselves, not necessarily with the Zheng family. If you want to say that in Bianjing, it is safe to open a store, your son is here. Some face is still there."

"Small shameless." Zheng Ping poked Yun Yanhui in the forehead.

Yunyan covered her head back, "It's already very restrained! I'll ask Baofutai to write an inscription for you!"

"Naughty," Zheng Ping laughed despite so much, "I'll think about it again."

Let her think about Yun Yan, but within a few days, Zheng Ping said that she really wants to open a nail salon with others.

However, not with the daughters of the Zheng family, but with the Eighth Princess.

Yun Yan was dizzy, "What? Wang Fei?"

"Yes," Zheng Ping nodded, "that day, I met brother Chu and his mother, and we chatted together. The princess also likes dyeing nails, and brother Chu made a match. We also hit it off and then I have decided to open a store on Panlou Street."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Panlou Street, come on, after hearing the name of the place, I knew that the store they were going to open was going to be high-end, and that place was all about selling luxury goods like jewelry, spices, and fur. 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, and it is almost the same as a stall.

Besides, this way, Yun Yanhui doesn't have to help his mother at all. When the princess poked there, some people rushed to help her.

Yun Yanhui is very fond of the princess, and the princess is also very kind to him, so when I heard that his mother and the princess decided to open a shop together, Yun Yanhui felt that it was fantastic and normal.

Zheng Ping was in that circle before, and they both have good temperaments, and the children are still playing like that, so she and the princess will not have any estrangement at all.

Besides... Yun Yanhui is against it, is it useful?

His mother's ability to act and judge, he has seen since childhood.

Therefore, Yun Yanhui only had to applaud and celebrate, waiting for the store to open.

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

The princess and Zheng Ping discussed about naming the nail salon "Jade Sunflower Red". Although people's nails are already colorful, they decided to use a more "traditional" logo.

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

The princess and Zheng Ping recruited a number of skilled women to be trained as chefs in the shop. The main design is Zheng Ping to be in charge, the princess will also participate, they can be considered to have something to do.

Yun Yanhui also came up with an idea. He asked them to study glue so that other decorations could be attached to the nails, which is also what modern people often do.

The princess was overjoyed, if it wasn't for Zhao Yunchu's death, she would have wanted to dig Bao Zheng's corner...

I once told Fu Yunfeng that when Yunyan returned, she could only admit that her judgment was wrong. His mother has already developed into 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.

Take a step back and say that no matter what happens in the future, Renzong's "Joy with the People" and the poems left by many literati and poets are destined to leave such a small amount in history.
