Ever since Qin Mumu performed barefoot in Jinmingchi, the ladies in Tokyo began to imitate her appearance.
All the ladies who used to be gorgeously dressed in the past gave up their gorgeous clothes and wore ordinary clothes, and they must be barefoot!
I heard that Lan Kwai Fong now regards simplicity as beauty, and that beauty without makeup is truly beautiful, so the women in Tokyo began to think about how to make themselves beautiful by applying makeup.
After the trend of wearing heavy makeup was replaced, the people who suffered the most were those in the rouge and gouache business in Tokyo.
It’s amazing how quickly the people in Tokyo pursue fashion. In the morning, the “dog-tooth” shoes are the most popular, but in the evening, they are “the wrong ones.”
The fashion led by courtesans was even more like this. Even the maids in the palace began to walk around the palace in bare feet and plain clothes. Wang Zeng's brows never relaxed.
People have been wearing shoes since ancient times, otherwise why would we need shoes?!
Others don't know Wang Zeng, but they know that the so-called Qin family is not simple. A woman who can be summoned by the Queen Mother twice, even an oiran, must have something unusual.
As the prince of the court, Wang Zeng knew that after the so-called charity performance a few days ago, the number of light makeup shops in Tokyo increased by five, and the number of ready-to-wear shops increased by five or six!
Coincidentally, all these shops are named after Lan Kwai Fong……
He had heard this strange song "Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon". Ever since his wife came back from Jinmingchi, she had never stopped singing it. She sang it while putting on her makeup, and she never stopped singing it even in the oxcart when going out.
Even before going to sleep at night, I have to say, "The wind is like a shield carrying tassels, moving the beacon smoke, and the flowers are like blood splashing, and five steps are taken to step on the corpses."
Wang Zeng felt a little irritated when he thought of this. This is because the common people have used good lyrics and music in the wrong place.
If this poem had been written by the border troops, it would have been extremely beautiful, but in the bustling city of Tokyo, it had fallen into the ears of ordinary people who didn’t know anything about military matters, and it was completely ruined!
Although the intonation is slightly off-rhyme, the lyrics, music and meaning are moving. In Wang Zeng's opinion, only those with agitated hearts can write such generous words.
What's more, it's a woman? At first, I just thought Qin Mumu was lucky, but now it seems that this woman does have extraordinary abilities.
Although he made millions from a charity performance, he lost nothing and turned it all into food and labor and sent it to Henan Prefecture. It seemed like a huge loss, but in the end he gained such a great reputation.
Wang Zeng believed that the Lan Kwai Fong business would grow bigger and bigger. After all, even Lan Kwai Fong itself had become Qin Mumu's private property.
Walking in the corridor of the palace, the high walls on the side made people feel a little panicked. Wang Zeng thought about it for a long time to stay here to report the matter today, and finally decided to talk to the Queen Mother about the matter in private.
The matter was of great importance, and his brother Wang Hao had seen it with his own eyes. Wang Zeng couldn't help but not believe it, but he was already very worried about the news.
Since the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, the late emperor and his court officials have done so many stupid things and wrong things, and spent so much national power in the name of "the auspiciousness of the heavenly book"!
For more than ten years, "the kings and ministers of the country were as sick as crazy!" The court was plunged into chaos, and manpower and financial resources were greatly spent! The national power accumulated during the Xianping years was almost exhausted. Wang Zeng felt heartbroken every time he thought of this. Almost going crazy.
The most important reason why he supported Liu E's imperial title was that the first thing this woman in the harem did after becoming regent was to order the "Book of Heaven" to be buried in Yongding Mausoleum together with Song Zhenzong, stop the construction of palaces in the world, and completely
This ended the "Auspicious Book of Heaven" that had disturbed the country for many years.
Wang Zeng smiled bitterly. No one in the court was a fool. The late emperor wanted to save the face of the Chanyuan Alliance with the theory of Fu Rui from the Book of Heaven, but Fu Rui from the Book of Heaven not only failed to save his face, but also made everyone in the court go crazy with him.
…………
Although he was in the palace, Wang Zeng was not very reserved. On the contrary, the courtiers of the Song Dynasty were considered to be half of the masters in the palace, or at least they were stewards of the Tian family.
Regardless of whether the maids in the palace are in violation of the laws and regulations and are seen by the courtiers, they will definitely be punished. The Tian family will often support the opinions of the courtiers and punish the palace maids.
The palace maids are a little better, but the eunuchs are basically the same. They are the favored personal servants of the Tian family among the chamberlains, and the ministers are also included.
At the moment, Wang Zeng was in a bad mood and his face was gloomy. The palace people around him wanted to stick to the cracks in the wall rather than get close to his husband.
Who would have thought that today, when Mr. Wang was here to carry out an official mission, a powerful man had just arrived!
When Wang Zeng was worrying, a figure turned out from the left silver platform door opposite. He was dressed in bright red clothes and had a big belly. It was not difficult to tell who he was.
Wang Zeng shook his head, a little angry, but still kept a humble smile and greeted him: "Wei Guogong, are you resigning to the Queen Mother and the officials again?"
Feng Zheng was slightly embarrassed, and looked at Wang Zeng and said: "I am a prince, and my old illness has relapsed and I am not eligible for a big post. I applied to the Queen Mother's official family to resign this time, but I was not given permission. I can only reapply at another date!"
Wang Zeng shook his head: "Now that the official family is young, the Queen Mother is coming to the court, and the Duke of Wei has resigned and returned to his hometown, we will definitely lose the backbone of the family!"
Feng Zheng waved his hands repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you are ridiculous, Prime Minister Lu. Your Majesty is all a great talent. Why should an old man like me be an eyesore in the court?"
Wang Zeng grabbed Feng Zheng's sleeve and said with a half-smile, "Wei Guogong sincerely wants to resign? Is it because his family is frugal?"
Wang Zeng had long known about Feng Zheng's extravagance. Every time he resigned, he would seek rewards from the Queen Mother. I'm afraid it will be the same today.
Unexpectedly, Feng Zheng nodded happily and said: "The Queen Mother will give you brocade screen for the quilt..."
Feng Zheng naturally knew what Wang Zeng meant, and smiled slightly and said: "Don't be upset, my lord, how can the Queen Mother not know this about Feng Zheng with her wisdom? It's just to raise some points, this time someone is resigning for the sake of money!
"
Wang Zeng looked at Feng Zheng in slight surprise. Many people knew about the past between Feng Zheng and Qian Weiyan, but Ding Wei had already fled to Yazhou, and the grudges between the two had little to do with each other. Why did Feng Zheng mention it again?
And Qian Weiyan?
"Why does the Duke of Wei have any concerns about Privy Privy Qian?"
Feng Zheng immediately showed a sad expression, looked around and took Wang Zeng's hand and said: "Your Majesty! Since the founding of the Tian family, it has been a rule that foreign relatives are not allowed to participate in politics. This is the law of the ancestors! How can we take it lightly?!"
Wang Zeng stared at Feng Zheng blankly, unable to say a word. What is going on? Who doesn't know that Qian Weiyan is the brother-in-law of the Queen Mother, but there is really nothing to say about this matter.
There are not many relatives who have gained real power, and it is not just in the past few years that Qian Weiyan has been reused. He has been working hard in the court for more than ten years! He was not deposed long ago, so why should he be deposed now?
The most important point is that Wang Zeng and Qian Weiyan also had an old relationship. When Emperor Zhenzong was in poor health, Wang Zeng used Qian Weiyan's line to signal the Queen Mother to favor Zhao Zhen, who was still the prince. Now Feng Zheng wants to treat Qian Weiyan.
