Chapter 630: The Art of Disguise
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Lone can also hear that the eldest lady of the Peng family is a first-class beauty, if Lone lets him enter the palace, I don't know what Yang Aiqing wants?" β
Yang Zheng's heart jumped, and he scolded secretly: "You don't need to be so ruthless, right? β
"Well, it's not negotiable?" Yang Zheng had a secret hatred in his heart, but he was smiling and groaning on his face.
Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi looked at each other, and a subtle smile flashed in their eyes.
"A woman makes Lone so hesitant, how to govern the world in the future, no, Lone has to make an order immediately?" Zhu Zhanji said with a straight face.
Yang Zheng almost cried, isn't this forcing people to be prostitutes, it's just, it's just that, even if it's for the eldest lady, this time it's okay, he gritted his teeth and said, "I promise?" β
Zhu Zhanji was secretly proud in his heart, glanced at Yang Zheng, who wanted to cry without tears, and smiled, and said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, and if you say it, can you regret it?" β
Yang Zheng said: "Does Weichen have room for repentance?" β
Zhu Zhanji was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Indeed not?" β
"Okay, let you sit in Nanjing instead of Lonely, it is indeed wronged you, when Lone returns to the capital and deals with this major matter, he will definitely reward you heavily? No jokes, huh? Zhu Zhanji patted him on the shoulder and said.
Chen Wu on the side looked envious, and Wang Zhen admired Yang Zheng even more.
"His Royal Highness wants to let Lord Yang sit in charge, this is a good idea, according to Lord Yang's height, age was originally the best candidate, but the faces of Lord Yang and His Royal Highness are too different, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials can't hide it, how can they hide it from the cunning King Han?" Chen Wu reminded at this time, according to such a scene, a eunuch has no right to speak, but since the Yongle Dynasty, the status of eunuchs has been greatly improved, plus the impression established by Zheng He, Gou'er and others, compared with the Hongwu Dynasty, today's eunuchs also dare to speak, plus this Chen Wu is Zhu Zhanji's personal eunuch, and his status is above all the eunuchs.
Zhu Zhanji sighed and said, "This is also the problem that Lone is most worried about, for the sake of today, he has to reluctantly stay in Lone's bedroom?" β
"Let me stay in the palace and not go anywhere, then you might as well kill me? His Royal Highness's trip is not to mention for a few months, and the current prince will not go to court for a few months, and he will not see the ministers, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion-? Yang Zheng protested loudly.
"How's that to be?" Zhu Zhanji's face darkened, and he glanced at Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi kept drinking tea, and only then did he put down the tea soup, exhaled, and said, "Since Brother Yang has come up with this method, he must also have a way to deal with it, let's talk about it?" β
"You can see this, it's really fake?" Yang Zheng's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Shiqi with an incredulous expression.
Yang Shiqi smiled and said: "Others don't know your little brother, but the old man is very clear, if you don't have a backhand, you will definitely not agree to Your Highness pretending to be Your Highness, if you agree, there must be a problem to solve the difference in appearance between the two of you, okay, it's all right now, don't sell Guanzi, it's about the country, the prince returns to the capital one day earlier, and my Daming country will be stable one day earlier!" β
Yang Zheng knew that Yang Shiqi was telling the truth, and he no longer sold Guanzi, he did have a countermeasure.
"Lord Yang, what should we do?" Chen Wu asked in a low voice.
Yang Zheng said: "People who look the same in the world, except for twin brothers, can only borrow props?" β
Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, using the disguise technique?" β
Yang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, in various legends in his previous life, especially in martial arts novels, there was often a saying of "disguise mask", and putting this disguise tool on his head can change his face and disguise others. Many masters in the martial arts are good at this way, and it is widely used when walking on the rivers and lakes. In Gu Long's "The History of Martial Arts", Wang Lianhua is a master of making zuΓ²ren leather masks. However, the process of making the mask is not described, because it is difficult to know, it can be seen that this statement is completely untrue, it is possible for one person to change into the appearance of another person, but it is impossible in a short period of time, and it requires the full cooperation of the person who is disguised. Therefore, most of the ancient theories of disguise were exaggerated, and under the level of technology at that time, it was impossible to make a simulated "disguise mask".
"Quick, go and find someone who knows how to disguise for Gu to help Yang Aiqing change her appearance?" Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed and shouted eagerly.
"Yes!" Chen Wu answered, turned around and left, thinking hard in his mind about who the person in the palace who could disguise himself was.
"No more? Will I do this disguise too? Yang Zheng said loudly.
"Little brother, you actually know how to disguise, but it impresses the old man?" Yang Shiqi was really taken aback, since he knew Yang Zheng, he felt that the young man in front of him brought him a lot of shock, not to mention that he exterminated the Maitreya Sect in Hangzhou with 5,000 soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, that is, the original Mandarin Duck Formation in Hangzhou was enough to make him feel his talent, and now even this disguise technique will make him amazed, and his admiration for Yang Zheng is a little more.
Yang Zheng blamed him for pulling himself into the water, glared at him fiercely, and said, "It's just a little understanding, it's nothing?" After speaking, he began to say to Chen Wu the tools he wanted.
Chen Wu listened to it for a long time, but he didn't know what he wanted, and finally Yang Zheng had to use a pen to draw the tools he wanted one by one, and Chen Wu understood what he wanted.
It's just that these tools are a little strange, Rao is Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi have a lot of knowledge, and some tools can't be understood by the two of them.
Fortunately, there are a lot of utensils in the palace in Nanjing, Chen Wu followed Yang Zheng's meaning, as well as the small picture, so that people searched for it in the palace, and it took about half a pillar of incense to find all the things Yang Zheng wanted.
Everyone was amazed, and couldn't help but stretch their necks to see how he was disguised, Yang Zheng saw all kinds of tools and materials and carefully examined them, and then began to change his appearance.
In ancient times, the theory of disguise is no longer an uncommon thing, and it has become a specialized technology, also known as "plastic makeup". This type of make-up is different from medical plastic surgery because its changes are temporary and can also be reversible; Not only that, this kind of makeup is not the same as ordinary "makeup", "plastic makeup" is a great test of the ability of the masculinist, because it requires the masquerade to be an artist and a sculptor. It just so happened that in his previous life, he was quite proficient in these two things.
To do this kind of transfiguration, you need to pour out a plaster cast first, if it is a full-body model, you need to pour a full-body model, if it is a certain part, you need to pour a model of this part. Before pouring the mold, the person who is "disguised" should first apply a layer of oil on the face to make the facial skin smoother, and the head should be wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent the plaster used in the mold from sticking to the hair. In addition, before applying the plaster cast to the face, it is necessary to apply petroleum jelly oil to key areas such as eyebrows and eyes to prevent uprooting the facial hair when uncovered. When applying a plaster cast to the face, the actor must close his eyes and his nose must be connected to the outside world through two plastic tubes to prevent the cast from blocking the nostrils.
Since the person will not be able to speak after the plaster cast, it is important to put a pen and paper in front of him, in case of emergency, this is the only effective way to express it. This time lasts about an hour, so most people need to close their eyes and relax their facial expressions before making the mold until they can get used to it. For the masquerade, it is also necessary to support his head with his hands, because the plaster is very heavy, and the burden on the cervical spine will be significantly increased. After the plaster is added, it solidifies and hardens, and then carefully removes it. The plaster cast is about three or four centimeters thick, and from the inside, the nose and mouth are concave, which is called a negative model.
Where have everyone seen such a disguise technique, they looked at Yang Zheng with wide eyes for a while, for fear of missing a wonderful moment.
After a long time, Yang Zheng's next step was to brush soapy water inside the mold to clean the inside, and then pour gypsum into the mold, and after solidifying, take the mold away, so that you can turn out a plaster statue that is exactly the same as the person's face.
In previous lives, these two steps could also be replaced by a high-fidelity three-person computer statue (made by a computer sculptor based on a photograph of a person) and carved by a masquerade artist to form a statue. However, the fidelity of this kind of figurines is reduced, and at most 90% of the likeness can be made, which is simply a miracle in ancient times.
Yang Zheng couldn't help but be secretly proud, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he began to make certain modifications to the plaster statue with clay to make it more realistic.
After doing this qiΔ, adding plaster to the periphery of the mask, this operation is rare and a little big, which is like immersing the face in water, and the model is this part of the water. If he was a little careless, he would give up all his efforts, so he paused for a moment, took a sharp breath, and began to do this step in the praise of Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi, first of all, put on the plaster, this step needs to make a wall before the plaster, close to the mask, the height of the wall must be higher than the tip of the mask's nose, and then pour the plaster into the wall, so as to ensure that the plaster is dry!
"Fireβ?" Yang Zheng touched the beads of sweat on his forehead and shouted in a deep voice.
Chen Wu didn't dare to slack off, and personally moved the pillar of fire close to the gypsum, and when the plaster dried, Yang Zheng gently smashed the plaster mask with an iron tool, and the final model was baked.
Everyone had never seen such a mask, everyone was amazed, Zhu Zhanji looked at the incredible mask in front of him and said, "Yang Aiqing, isn't this the disguised mask?" β
Yang Zheng nodded and said, "Not counting now, there are still two last steps?" β
"Then you can quickly open the eyes of Lonely?" Zhu Zhanji urged eagerly.

About gypsum: According to legend, it was invented in 164 BC by Liu An, the king of Huainan, the grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han dynasty of China. When Liu An burned medicine and alchemy on Bagong Mountain at the junction of Shou County and Huainan in Anhui Province, he accidentally used gypsum to order bean juice, thus inventing tofu. Yuan Hanqing thought that there was tofu in the fifth generation. According to the "Qing Yilu" written by Tao Gu of the Five Dynasties, the Japanese scholar Shinoda Tong "is Qingyang Cheng, clean himself and diligent people, the meat taste is not given, and there are several tofu in the Japanese market", and believes that the Tang Dynasty Jianzhen monk introduced the technology of making zuΓ² tofu to Japan when he crossed to Japan in 757 AD, and the Japanese regarded Jianzhen as the ancestor, so it can be seen that there was tofu in the Tang Dynasty, and everyone knows that the traditional tofu is made of gypsum and brine, so it is certain that gypsum appeared in the Tang Dynasty, so it is not surprising that gypsum appeared here! Don't be surprised!
