Yun Yanhui 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 minds 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 also thinks 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 plausibly: "How can the old parents be in their twenties? You are clearly talking 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 the position of Kaifeng Mansion is known, the people who sat there before were probably in their 30s or 40s, and this is the age when they became officials and achieved results, and 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 too dark. After all, most of the people who gossip about other people's age are 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 are many prodigies in the Song Dynasty. However, after only a few months as a magistrate, he jumped at the n-level and became the Shao Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture. . His resume cannot be inferred with common sense.
This is an open protagonist...
Yun Yanhui didn't even know how to explain it to everyone, and no one believed what he said now, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, just be happy."
He felt that after he went back, he really wanted to remind Bao Zheng that in the long run, it would affect his reputation in the blind date 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 his heart.
I took Xiaobao to Jingdi before, but I just sent someone a letter not long ago, and it's already on the 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, and by the way, she asked for a batch of facial masks.
I heard him talk about what he was 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?"
Yun Yan replied, "No, I brought it to Baofutai."
"Bao Wenzheng?" Jian Ran was stunned, "Is he already helpless?"
Yunyan replied: "..."
Yun Yan replied, "Master! Can you not speak so directly?"
Clearly shyly said: "I blurted it out and said it..."
Xiaobao also echoed: "Brother, skin and flesh 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 he can be rescued a little bit." Yun Yan replied with emotion, "Anyway, it also represents the image of our Kaifeng Mansion, I I've really overlooked this point. Bao Futai is actually quite upright, but today's people don't appreciate black skin."
In modern times, although some people say that he is black, there are definitely many people who appreciate him. After all, Yunyan should come back to see that Bao Zheng's blackness, which is the level of the black version of Gu Tianle, is only placed in the Song Dynasty, where everyone loves white. It looks especially dark, definitely not to the extent that you can't find it at night.
Clearly nodded: "Bao Wenzheng really doesn't like to take care of his face. I think he never arranges flowers, and never puts on powder."
Yun Yanhui 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 doesn't really match the skin color on my body."
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. 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.
Knowing the scene for a moment, he felt that he couldn't bear to look directly, so he took out the mask.
Yunyan returned 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 way, 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.
Yun Yan 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 and jars, "What is this? Medicine?"
"It's medicine, but it's not for treating wounds, it's for washing and applying face." Yun Yanhui introduced to Bao Zheng seriously, "Contains effective whitening substances such as coix seed, white Poria, etc., all natural and handmade. Customers experience it first-hand, and it works great.”
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 ordinary 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 first, and then explained: "Of course, this is because everyone thinks that you should be older in this position, according to the usual promotion speed. However, it is through this incident that I thought of it. , you should pay attention to your image, you represent Kaifeng House, 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 dark 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, froze for a while, and sighed helplessly, "The face is not his own."
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, looking very dark and delicate.
Although it was still black after two shades of white, it was much whiter than himself.
Bao Zheng's whiteness 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 immediately, "..."
Several officials could not help but laugh.
After all, whoever sees an official saying "You are a lot whiter" to a black person will not be able to bear it. Even if he knows that this colleague is really white, he will only say "You are really black." , white or black” feeling.
Bao Zheng never expected 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 main hall, the official family asked questions, and it was not easy not to answer. After weighing it, he had to respectfully respect He replied: "I have been using face-cleaning medicine recently, but it was 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 agreed, all of whom were obsessed with skin care by their wives and concubines.
Renzong seemed to realize that not only was the Zen master profound in Buddhism and medicine, but he was also a friend of women. It's really the first in Da Song."
Bao Zheng: "..."
As soon as Renzong's imperial mouth opened, this medicine was not famous before, and it would become famous all over the world, not to mention that it is already a famous 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, which led to Bao Zheng's The 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 Bai.
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 a few times, 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 the medicine is indeed very effective, but everyone sees him as black and white
Various reasons are flying all over the sky, and people just think: 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 inside Kaifeng Mansion were too busy to look at him.
