The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 145: The Rise of Da Song Nail Industry

Even though Yun Yanhui was crossing, he might have underestimated women's passion 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 at all. She just went out and wandered around, and was seen by sharp-eyed women her nails that were different from those in the past. People have different nails.

The spreading power of this era is not weak. Yun Yanhui understood this early. The gossiping people of Song Dynasty and the leisurely people of Bianjing have infinite enthusiasm for anecdotes of all sizes.

This night, many of Yunyan's neighbors returned to take out food, and their wives, mothers, and daughters were already addicted to this new thing.

On the second day, it spread out rapidly with this street as the center.

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

A few days later, the people in Bianjing who were selling natural dye materials such as flowers, minerals, etc. discovered that their goods were all out of stock!

In the beginning, these businessmen were simply inexplicable.

Ha, why, suddenly so many people come to buy our things? And the buying crowd is not the same as before?

Later, after inquiring about it, they realized that it was Bianjing who became popular to do tricks on nails.

Different from the monotonous dyeing of pure colors before, these women are really doing "flowers", and various new patterns are constantly appearing. The Bianjing women who often do embroidery have their own sets, and many people have quite high aesthetics. They present these on their nails.

But the opposite is the complaints of men.

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

However, after the 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...

Unexpectedly, this trend swept Bianjing City. Yun Yanhui was numb when he saw many people dyed their nails on the street.

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

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

"...So far there are so many private households who have signed the contract, and we are continuing to work hard." Yun Yan stood up straight back, and after finishing the report, he handed over the accounts.

Renzong, who was sitting in sleeves, stretched out his hand subconsciously to pick it up. Yun Yan saw this hand out.

——The watermelon dyed with petals on Renzong's fingernails.

Yun Yan replied:! !

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

Renzong's hands are very well maintained. They are white and slender, with only a few thin calluses that can be held with a pen. In addition, they are smooth as jade, and their nails are healthy and white. But now, some watermelon petals are painted on it, with a red bottom and black seeds. Some fill the nails, some are just a corner, some are skinned, and some are just flesh...

It looks so cute.

Well, I can only use the word cute to describe it.

Renzong saw Yun Yan's horrified expression, and dryly explained: "I don't know where I got it from. I heard that Man Bian Kyoto likes to paint on his nails. The day before yesterday, the imperial concubine had to let me... also... …"

Renzong couldn't continue.

Yun Yan replied sympathetically and continued: "Have fun with the people."

Renzong: "..."

Renzong slapped the word and nodded, "Well, enjoy with the people! Alas, it made me a little nervous. If I were seen by the Qing family, wouldn't I think I was not solemn."

Yun Yan glanced at Renzong sympathetically. Although this thing became popular from his home, Zheng Ping and Shuang Yi did not force him to paint his nails. Renzong was miserable. A dignified emperor was actually forced to do nail art.

Well, this is also the love of husbands and wives in other people's homes. Yun Yan thinks that he is a single dog and don't say much.

However, despite Renzong's best defense, the thing about his nail art was spread, and he fought a war of words on the court.

Some people indeed think this is not too dignified, and the harem concubine is a bit ignorant. However, more ministers believe that everyone has the love of beauty, and the Song Dynasty originally admired beauty, and the elders could not stop looking at them wearing flowers and powder.

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

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

Someone suggested that your majesty should paint Jinlong!

Renzong: "..."

The saliva can't stop, everyone reached a consensus that official nails are not recommended for official occasions.

But this matter was widely circulated, adding the most important fire to Da Song Manicure.

Yaoshou, even officials dye their nails!

The fun that was originally popular among women has suddenly become a sign of love between husband and wife.

Wasn't there a Zhang Chang thrush in the past?

At this time, there are Renzong manicures.

The women painted some signs of love on the hands of Xiang Gong, which became a kind of boudoir charm. On the contrary, there are those prostitutes who lead the fashion, they also participate in it, which becomes a kind of elegant flirtation.

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

Or, when you see that the pattern on your colleague’s hands seems to be the favorite of a certain prostitute, it’s even more ridiculous, oh yo, it seems it was late last night? The color is so bright, it must be right last night, right?

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

Yun Yan's back is messy!

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

Fortunately, the Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, and Zheng Ling who Yun Yan returned to his side did not join the ranks. Of course, this should be because they neither married nor engaged in prostitutes. In other words, they were single dogs.

With the imagination and enthusiasm of Bianjing people, it didn’t take long for the first nail salon to open. It was still open in the Vasheli, and you could do nail art—after all, it would take a long time—while watching theaters. The pastime is very convenient.

Not long after, Zheng Ping was also found.

It’s the female relatives of the Zheng family. They are called Zheng Ling. They want to meet Zheng Ping and open a nail salon. Because Zheng Ping is the best female celebrity among the Zheng family’s generations, the corresponding taste is also very high. Even more because they knew that Zheng Ping was actually the first person who started studying nail art.

Moreover, this also contains some information. The Zheng family is repairing the 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 influence.

Zheng Ping is a bit hesitant. She is very interested in opening a nail salon because she is playing this every day and has researched many tricks. But, should we agree to the Zheng family?

Yun Yan said to her back: "Aniang, if you like it, we can open our own house, we don’t have to be with Zheng’s family. If you want to open a store in Bianjing, your son’s face is still Yes."

"Little shameless." Zheng Ping poked Yun Yanhui's forehead.

Yun Yan turned back and covered his head, "It's already very restrained! I'll ask Baofu Station to give you an inscription, do you want it!"

"Naughty," Zheng Ping laughed despite all this, "I will think about it again."

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

However, it was not with the Zheng family's female relatives, but with the eighth princess.

Yun Yan was fainted when he turned back, "What? The princess and empress?"

"Yes," Zheng Ping nodded, "I met my first brother and his mother that day, so I chatted together. The princess also likes to dye armour, and the first brother made a match between them. We also hit it off and decided to stay in Pan. A shop has opened in Loujie."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Panlou Street, damn, listening to the name of the place knows that the store they are going to open is going to be a high-end route. That place sells luxury goods such as jewelry, spices, furs, etc. Also, with the relationship of the princess, it is definitely impossible to open the kind of small shop in Washery. It is said that it is a shop, and it is almost the same as a stall.

Moreover, in this way, Yun Yanhui didn't need to help his mother to do the cleaning at all. The poke of the princess, some people were rushing to help her do the cleaning.

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

Zheng Ping had been in that circle before, and both of them had very good tempers, and the children still played so well, she and the princess would not be separated at all.

Besides... Yun Yan is against it in reply, is it useful?

He has seen his mother's action and judgment since he was a child.

Therefore, Yun Yan could only applaud and celebrate, waiting for the opening of the store to join in.

As for the Zheng family, Yun Yanhui also had an anger with Zheng Ling. It was heard that the female relatives of the Zheng family were not angry, but a little helpless.

The princess and Zheng Ping discussed the name of the nail salon "Yu Sun Hong". Although the nail art is now on the rise, everyone's nails are already colorful, but they decided to use a more "traditional" logo.

Moreover, the store has not officially opened yet, it has already received several orders from the ladies of the royal family.

On the side of the princess, together with Zheng Ping, we recruited a lot of skillful women, who have to be trained to become masters in the shop. Zheng Ping will be responsible for the main design, and the princess will also participate. They can be regarded as having something to do.

Yun Yanhui also came up with an idea. He asked them to study the glue so that they could stick other decorations on the nails. This is what modern people often do.

The princess is overjoyed. If it were not for Zhao Yunchu's desperate pull, she would have wanted to dig Bao Zheng's corner...

Once said to Fu Yunfeng, Yun Yan, who had passed away with their enthusiasm, could only admit that his judgment was wrong. His mother has developed into it anyway. Judging from the public reaction and related cultural trends, this industry is destined to rise from now on, and it will continue to vigorously continue.

To take a step back, no matter what happens in the future, Renzong's "Joy with the People" and the poems left by many literati and poems for this purpose are destined to leave such a small stroke in history.
