The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Yun Yan is very sad and angry!

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

That old woman is fine, it can be said that she has a bad memory when she is older, but everyone present actually agreed that she was right, Bao Zheng is at least forty or fifty years old.

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

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

Although Yun Yanhui sometimes feels that Bao Zheng's temperament is calm and dark, and he looks older than his actual age, but no matter how old he is, he will not change from twenty-five to fifty-two, right?

An uncle plausibly said: "How can old parents be in their twenties? You are quite nonsense."

——Although the old parents here refer to Bao Zheng, they are not saying that he is old. This is a respect for the magistrate, which means loving the people like a child.

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

The right to know the position of Kaifeng Mansion, the people who used to sit are not in their 30s and 40s, and this is the age when they have achieved achievements as officials, and they have been tempered.

After Bao Zheng entered the Kaifeng Mansion, he did a lot of practical things. He was well-known and gained a lot of fame. At the same time, his very young things did not spread. Yun Yan returned to private speculation because he was a little big and too dark. After all, most people gossiping about their age are women comrades who care about marriage and appearance. Song people regard whiteness as their beauty, so naturally even if they see him in person, they are not interested in gossip age.

But in fact, Bao Zheng is an outlier!

It’s not surprising that he was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age. There were so many prodigies in the Song Dynasty. However, he only spent a few months as a magistrate and jumped to the N level. He became the Shao Yin of the Kaifeng Mansion and soon became the right to know the Kaifeng Mansion. . His resume cannot be inferred by common sense.

This is a protagonist who is on the hook...

Yun Yan didn't know how to explain it to everyone, and now no one believed what he said, so he could only helplessly say: "Well, you guys are happy."

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

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

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

Yun Yan went back to Daxiangguo Temple to pick up the dust, and asked for a batch of facial masks by the way.

Obviously, I have heard him say what he has been busy with recently, and said: "You don't need to go out recently when you are busy, and you don't even get a tan when you look at your face. Is this for your mother?"

Yun Yan replied: "No, I brought it to Baofu Station."

"Bao Wenzheng?" He was taken aback, "He should be out of help, right?"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

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

Clearly he said: "I blurted out and said it..."

Xiaobao also echoed: "Brother, flesh and blood are all born, and Baofutai is so dark from the sun every day, and this facial medicine can't change anything."

"What do you know, two thirds of him are born, and one third is not maintained. One point is one point." Yun Yan replied with emotion, "Somehow it also represents the image of our Kaifeng Mansion, I I have always ignored this point. Baofutai is actually quite upright, that is, people don't appreciate black skin nowadays."

If you put it in the modern age, although some people will say that he is black, there are definitely many people who appreciate it. After all, Yun Yan has to come back to see that Bao Zheng’s blackness, which is the degree of the black version of Gu Tianle, is just left in the Song Dynasty, where everyone loves white. It looks very dark, definitely not to the extent that you can't find it at night.

Nodded clearly: "Bao Wenzheng really doesn't like to take care of his face. I think he never arranges flowers, and never gives fans."

Yun Yan almost got goose bumps, "I won't say anything about the flower arrangement, can Fu Fen still see it? When I sweat, it is all grooves, which is seriously inconsistent with the skin color of the body."

Both men and women in Song love to wear flowers, but Yun Yan will sell flowers and animals, but never wear flowers. He has a lotus leaf on his face and he is unlovable, let alone wearing flowers. Not only did he not wear it, but he refused to call Xiaobao, Zhao Yunchu, Zheng Ling and others to wear it, at least not in front of him, because it looked awkward.

I clearly imagined the scene, and suddenly felt that I couldn't bear to look directly at it, so I took out the mask.

Yun Yan returned a can and gave it to Xiaobao: "Bao, you should apply it too. A-niang will feel distressed to death when she sees it."

When I went out this time, Xiaobao was also exposed to the wind and sun. And because it takes a long time to go out, the young people have a longer body and look a little bit higher each day. They have not seen them for a long time, and the changes are quite big.

Yun Yan returned with a few jars of facial mask and facial cleanser, ran to Bao Zheng, and put everything down.

Bao Zheng was reading the papers and looked up at him holding a pile of bottles and cans, "What is this? Medicine?"

"It's medicine, but it's not for treating injuries. It's for washing and spreading the face." Yun Yanhui solemnly introduced Bao Zheng, "Contains coix seed, white tuckahoe and other effective whitening substances, pure natural hand-made, through many Bianjing The customer experienced it firsthand, and the effect was great."

Bao Zheng knew what he was going to do when he heard it, and lowered his head again, "I know I'm dark, but I don't use this."

"President, listen to people's advice to eat a full meal!" Yun Yan replied, "A few days ago, I went to give relief, do you know? Those people actually thought you were in your forties or fifty!"

Bao Zheng was shocked, "What? Although I am a bit darker, I am not so old as that!"

Yun Yan frightened him first, and then explained: "Of course, this is because everyone thinks that in this position, according to the usual rate of promotion, you should be older. However, it was through this incident that I thought about it. , You should pay attention to your own image. You represent Kaifeng Mansion, and your face is the face of Kaifeng Mansion. Besides, are you still married?"

Bao Zheng: "..."

Bao Zheng: "Unexpectedly, my face is so important...but I was so black since I was born, and my family calls me a sunspot. Even if there is medicine, it is useless?"

"Is it effective? You will know it after you use it." Yun Yan took a piece of paper back and wrote down the frequency and method of use, "Futai, you remember to use it on time~"

Looking at the medicine, Bao Zheng was taken aback for a while, and sighed helplessly, "The face is not his own anymore."

Since Yun Yan took the medicine back, Bao Zheng has been really good at it, using it every day, and the changes are real. It is probably white by two shades, and the skin tone is much more even, and it looks very dark.

Although it was still black after two white numbers, it was a lot whiter than he himself.

Bao Zheng's whiteness also shocked the emperor's eyes and ears.

At the meeting, Renzong asked very seriously: "Bao Qing, I think you seem to have lost a lot of money these days."

Bao Zheng froze immediately, "..."

Several officials could not help but laugh.

After all, anyone who sees an official seriously saying "You are a lot of white" to a black skin will not help it. Even if he knows that this colleague is really white, he will only say "You are really black." , White is still black" feeling.

Bao Zheng never expected that the last sentence from the official family was still concerned about national affairs, 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 be respectful. He replied: "The minister is indeed using facial medicine recently, but it was made by the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, Zen Master Korran, and it has the effect of whitening the skin."

An official said with emotion: "Every time this medicine is released, Zhuo Jing will rush to buy it, but it is really rare, and there are often times when it is not available."

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

Several officials also agreed, all of whom were obsessed with skin care by family wives.

Renzong seemed to realize that Zen Master was not only a profound Buddhist technique and a brilliant medical skill, but also a friend of women. He made such a miraculous facial rub, and said thoughtfully: "Even Bao Qing's face is white, then this It's really No. 1 in the Song Dynasty."

Bao Zheng: "..."

As soon as Renzong Yukou opened, it was because the medicine was not well-known in the past, and it will become famous in the world. Moreover, it is already a famous master, and now there is a market and priceless, so many people can't buy it.

But Bao Zheng was distressed, because as the whitening drug became famous all over the world, the phrase "even Bao Qing's face was whitened" was also spread, and it was taken out of context, regardless of the background, which led to Bao Zheng's The face is almost a new sight in Kaifeng!

——There are always local citizens or foreign tourists squatting outside Kaifeng Mansion, just to take a look at him to see how white the officials have praised him.

Even the officials in the Kaifeng Mansion or their colleagues in the same dynasty would inevitably look at Bao Zheng a few more times, but they would appraise it very well: Well, it's really white!

The result is that this has almost become an unsolved mystery in Kaifeng—why did the officials say that Kaifeng Mansion is white, and the medicine is indeed very useful, but everyone sees him in the dark?

All kinds of reasons are flying in the sky, people just think: I understand the truth, but why do the officials praise him for nothing?

It was in the second half of December that Bao Zheng was rescued. The envoys of various countries arrived in Bian. At least, the people in Kaifeng Mansion were too busy to look at him.
