Chapter Seventy-Five: Sure enough

No matter ancient or modern, women's pursuit of cosmetics, or the pursuit of beauty, has never slackened.

Judging from the only surviving historical materials, makeup powder, rouge, eyebrow pencil, eyebrows, nail polish, etc. are all available (please ask female book friends to compare the products used by themselves, I don't understand this old man). Slightly different from later generations, its raw materials are mostly made of natural raw materials with no side effects, such as rice milk for makeup powder and lotus for rouge. The eyebrow pencil is advanced, using Shi Dai, a black ore, the so-called Dai Yu.

Beauty makeup has existed since ancient times, and even as far back as the Western Han Dynasty, there was a wide "boudoir fun, more than thrushes." Allusions.

Fang Zhongyong has seen thrushes, but he can't paint thrushes, let alone the joy of boudoirs. The two ladies thought he was in the way, so they drove out and dressed themselves.

Don't say it, the effect of dressing up, hey, eyebrow picturesque!

What does it mean to be picturesque? Even the eyebrows and eyes are like paintings.

The puff is white, and the white is white; The eyebrows were drawn in jet black; The rouge was smeared, and it was blood-red. It's like a painting by an apprentice who is just learning art, and to put it bluntly, it's the shape of Fuwa.

As soon as he appeared, Fang Zhongyong was taken aback.

What's going on, and why did the geisha of the Ugua Kingdom come here?

Luckily, the hairstyle was normal, and I didn't make a killer of Matt or Moxican. Otherwise, Fang Zhongyong would have to kneel down and ask, what year did my sister cross over.

Worriedly leading the two "picturesque" "beauties" to meet their parents, Fang Zhongyong was still worried that he would frighten the old man.

Unexpectedly, the second elder was very satisfied with the makeup of the new daughter-in-law.

As an old man, the father is not good at evaluating his daughter-in-law's makeup too much, but he is very satisfied with the nodding of his beard.

The mother was much more straightforward, and directly sent a big red envelope to each daughter-in-law, and praised one by one: "It's really good!" The daughter raised by this official eunuch is good! He also asked the two daughters-in-law to turn around and carefully look at whether they were plump, fat, and fat (see the title of Mo Yan's work).

This look is a bad thing.

Fang Mu's face suddenly fell. He called the two daughters-in-law to him and asked them carefully. Fang's father wanted to join in the fun, but was blasted out by Fang's mother's sentence "What are you involved with the affairs of the woman's family".

Father Fang sent a "what's the situation" expression.

Fang Zhongyong replied "I don't know" in seconds.

When Fang's mother and the two daughters-in-law finished performing the pantomime secretly, chattering, and mysteriously, Fang's father, as a big man, was kicked out of the restaurant, and the two daughters-in-law also retreated, leaving Fang Zhongyong alone to accept his mother's questioning. But why did Wang Lingwei give a meaningful and ill-intentioned smile when she left?

Mother began to tell about the several disasters that Fang Zhongyong experienced when he was a child, from the thundercloud tribulation, uh no, from learning to walk and breaking the Bulengai, until last year, he had a mole on his face. In the end, Fang Mu asked, "What is Zhong Yong's unspeakable secret?" ”

Fang Zhongyong understood the meaning of Wang Lingwei's smile just now.

Under Wang Lingwei's description, with Yan Rongyue's silent cooperation, Fang Zhongyong must have become a man with "unspeakable hidden" in his mother's mind. Even the idiom "unspeakable hidden" used by my mother cannot be said to have been taught by Wang Lingwei.

Okay, you wait for me!

Seeing that Fang Zhong never spoke, Fang's mother thought that he had acquiesced, and couldn't help crying: "My hard-working child! If it weren't for your dad dragging you around all day long, where would you have fallen ill. Pity our old Fang family is going to die! ”

Fang Zhongyong felt that his mother's scientific knowledge and cultural level needed to be improved.

First, it was true that Dad took him to the banquet, but Fang Zhongyong did not drink alcohol, which had no effect on his physical development; secondly, knocking on the buleng cover and having a scab on the face, it has nothing to do with the reproductive system; Third, even if Fang Zhongyong has any adverse effects due to his possession, the old Fang family still has the uncle's room, no matter what, it can't be regarded as a unique job.

But seeing that his mother was really sad, Fang Zhongyong hurriedly comforted: "Mother, please rest assured, the child's body is very good." The child has been taught the supreme Taoist technique by the Heavenly Monarch, and his muscles and bones are strong, and ordinary thirty or fifty strong men may not be the opponents of the child. And the fire dragon real person gave the magic in the room, how can there be two wives? Even in the future, there will be a ten-room and eight-room concubine room. I'm afraid that in the future, my mother will think that there are too many grandchildren and she won't be able to hold them! ”

Fang Mu asked suspiciously, "Is it really okay?" ”

Fang Zhongyong replied categorically: "Sure enough, it's fine!" ”

To say that this feudal society is really bad, there has not been any wind and grass here, and it has been passed to Chen Lin's ears by some people. As a result, Zhao Zhen also knew that Fang Zhongyong shared the bed with Ermei on the wedding night without the slightest overstep.

It is really contradictory to say that this ancient man is very contradictory.

While promoting the noble character of Yanagishita Hui's unruly arms, he also feels that everyone else should be the same as himself as a vulgar person, and he definitely can't do the behavior of a beauty in his arms and not in chaos.

So, as a man with a difficult heir, Zhao Zhen pushed himself and others, so he imagined the reason why Fang Zhongyong had sex with the two wives.

Hehe, there must be a hidden disease! I feel the same way! Why is my heart still a little open? No, I am the king of a country and an example of all peoples, how can I have such dark thoughts? To be comforted, to be cured!

Zhao Zhen coughed lightly, and Chen Lin flashed: "What do the officials order?" ”

"It is rumored that Xu Xi, the medical officer of Hanlin, is the one who treated me before, and went to Liuyuan Mansion to treat Fang Qing's family. Oh, no, Fang Zhongyong is young and vigorous, and I don't want others to know. In this way, you first go to the Liuyuan Mansion to summon Fang Zhongyong into the palace, and say that I have something to inquire. I ordered Xu Xi to treat him again, what does the big friend think? ”

Chen Lin immediately sent it to the back of the fart: "The official family is wise!" ”

Zhao Zhen also feels that he is very wise and cares about his subordinates, and the reason why he is happy must be because he can help others. Definitely!

Not long after, Fang Zhongyong entered the palace.

Zhao Zhen first talked a lot of idle stories, and finally asked the poor dagger: "Are Aiqing and the two ladies Qin Se harmonious?" ”

Fang Zhongyong rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that it was your, but he had to reply: "The ministers and other husbands and wives are very affectionate, and they are all grateful to the emperor." ”

Zhao Zhen snorted twice and said, "Why is what I heard different from what Aiqing said? A female official in the palace reported that Aiqing and the two ladies shared the same bed last night, but the two ladies did not break their bodies after dawn. I don't know if it's true? Aiqing has difficulties, just say it. You and I get along, and you and your husband and wife will be happy, and you will have no regrets! ”

Fang Zhongyong is in a hurry, you, the emperor, are too lenient, me! Whether my wife and I are in the way, why is it in your way? Besides, it's an extremely private thing, how did it end up in your ears? Is there any royal law? Well, it seems that the royal law is set by others!

Fang Zhongyong was helpless, so he had to say: "The minister is in good health, and he and his wife are also in deep love, and there is no suspicion." It's just that he was newly married yesterday, and he thought it was not suitable for sex. Therefore, there is this misunderstanding. ”

Zhao Zhen asked with interest: "How can there be a saying that it is not suitable to have sex on the good day and auspicious day chosen by Qin Tianjian by my own order?" You have to say it carefully, if Qin Tianjian is derelict in his duties, he will be severely punished! ”

Fang Zhongyong said: "It has nothing to do with Qin Tianjian, and the official family does not need to punish them. The reasons are all in the minister's body, and there are three people who the minister thinks are inappropriate.

On the one hand, although the minister and his wife have a deep affection, after all, they are limited by the law of etiquette and do not have too close contact. Physically, it's like a stranger. What is the fun of such a strange husband and wife, who boldly perform the gift of Zhou Gong?

In both cases, the minister was busy for a long time yesterday and drank a lot. Although the two ladies were not tired, they were also poorly fed and a little tired. If she happens to be pregnant, the minister asserts that the child born must not be very intelligent. ”

Zhao Zhen became interested and asked, "Tell me, what is the truth?" ”

Fong explained: "Although wine is good for fun, it is extremely bad for babies. If the baby is born after drinking, it will inevitably have a dull brain or even dementia. Don't you see, can the descendants of Liu Ling, Tao Yuanming, Li Bai and other good drinkers be outstanding? If there is a rich family, the boy will be five or six years old and let him drink to accompany the guests, as a pleasure. However, when they become adults, they are more irritable and reckless, and they are less thoughtful! ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, and said to Chen Lin, who was standing aside, "The eldest companion has written it down." After I drink alcohol, I am not allowed to summon concubines to sleep! Then he said to Fang Zhongyong: "Is there any other reason?" ”

Fang Zhongyong said: "There is also the third and most important point. If a man is under 20 and a woman is under 18, she may have children. However, the muscles and bones have not grown into the end, such as the grain into the thin field, and there is a huge valley to harvest?

Nowadays, there are many women who are twelve or thirteen years old, and men who are thirteen or fourteen years old. Even though there are all kinds of disadvantages for men, it is equivalent to walking away from the ghost gate for women. Nowadays, all women who marry early often have many difficulties and dangers in childbirth, and they often have to give birth (difficult birth), and those who have both mother and child are often heard. However, many women in their twenties have natural births, and even in the north, there are many people who rejoice in marrying women who have given birth, and they are all covered by this. ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Xu Xi, the Hanlin medical officer who was acting as a medical advisor, with an inquiring gaze.

Xu Xiyan said: "I really didn't know that Lord Fang was so proficient in medical science, and what he said was in line with the theory of the medical ancestor Bian Que. The minister also thought that early marriage between men and women was not good for their children, but Lord Fang's statement that men were twenty and women eighteen were suitable for marriage did not come from nowhere. The ministers are shallow in their knowledge and dare not make judgments. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Although Fang Aiqing is young, she is well-read, and she has many knowledge, and she often has novel words. He knows more than you do, and there's nothing strange about him. Xu Xi, I came to ask you, how old do you think it is appropriate to reproduce and have children, and not damage the foundation and keep the children healthy? ”

Zhao Zhen's heirs are difficult, Zhao Zhen is weak and weak, Zhao Zhen knows personnel at the age of twelve, Zhao Zhen is twelve or thirteen years old in the palace**, Zhao Zhen ......

In an instant, Xu Xi's mind was spinning and he replied: "Giving birth too late is also inappropriate, and it is not conducive to the population growth of the country. The minister thought that men at the age of 16 and women at the age of 15 could also be humane. ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Can you write it down?" ”

Chen Lin replied, "Write it down." In the future, anyone under the age of 15 will not be allowed to enter the palace as a concubine. If there is a woman in the palace, she will be raised in another courtyard and placed in the house when she reaches the age of fifteen. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, lowered his head again, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Fang Zhongyong saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he bowed his hand and wanted to go out of the palace to go home to accompany his two flower-like brides.

Zhao Zhen raised his head at the right time and asked, "Fang Aiqing is really fine, isn't it trickery to coax Yu Zhen?" ”

Fang Zhongyong was full of grief and indignation, how could it be so difficult to be honest?

However, under the roof, he had to reply with humiliation: "It's really fine!" ”
