the next day.

Li Zexuan had breakfast and came to Yunshan early, but unexpectedly met an unexpected person.

"Hey~? Wen Hao~? When did you come~? Aren't you supposed to be at the Huji Grain Shop~?"

When he came to Yan Shaoning's temporary "office", Li Zexuan actually saw Meng Wenhao who had disappeared for a long time, and he couldn't help asking.

The last time I came to Yunshan, when Li Zexuan invited a group of students from the School of Maths to dinner, he heard a few students talk about Meng Wenhao, saying that he was working as a cashier in a grain shop, earning money to support the family, so he didn't come with them. Yunshan, Li Zexuan understood this quite a bit at the time. In his previous life, he had worked during the holidays, so he didn't blame Meng Wenhao for this.

"Sir~! You're here~! The students just came the day before yesterday~! It's a little late, please don't blame me, sir~!"

When Meng Wenhao saw Li Zexuan come in, he got up excitedly and said hello.

Yan Shaoning interjected angrily: "Look at your students, none of them are more active than you. Someone was dangling around in Chang'an City with a fairy lantern a few days ago. It's really relaxing~!"

Li Zexuan said speechlessly: "I'm here to prove to everyone that I'm not bragging, okay~? It's not for my personal enjoyment~? To a certain extent, I'm also doing it for the future development of Yanhuang Academy~!"

Yan Shaoning curled his lips and said, "Okay, okay~! You are so crooked~! But you are a real student~! Not only is the calculation a good hand, but the charm is really not ordinary~!"

Li Zexuan was full of confusion, so he said, "What do you mean~?"

Meng Wenhao's face was flushed and he said quickly: "Nothing, Commander Yan, don't say anything~!"

"This is a glorious thing, what's the embarrassment to say~?"

Yan Shaoning patted Meng Wenhao's shoulder, laughed loudly, and said to Li Zexuan, "Xiaoxuan, don't you know~? After your student went to Huji Grain Shop, you not only defeated their original four in math and learning together. The accountant, and when he was leaving, he almost abducted the eldest lady~! Tsk tsk~!"

Li Zexuan was stunned for a moment, and asked with great interest: "Oh~? What else is going on~? Shaoning, come and listen~!"

After all, this guy quickly moved a stool and sat in front of Yan Shaoning, looking like he was eager to listen to gossip. He looked like a gentleman~!

Meng Wenhao's eyelids jumped, and he was speechless.

Yan Shaoning was quite accustomed to Li Zexuan's evasive temperament, so he also sat down and began to tell Li Zexuan about Meng Wenhao's "love affair".

So, the two big men in the room sat together and started chatting gossip, while a half-hearted young man fidgeted awkwardly beside him.

Half an hour later, after learning the whole story, Li Zexuan got up and laughed loudly: "Wen Hao, you can do it~! I haven't graduated yet, so I'll learn to flirt with girls~! Haha~! Not bad~!"

Meng Wenhao was embarrassed, although he didn't know what "sister flirting" meant, but he could guess, he said: "Sir, the students just want to use what they have learned to earn some change, and have no intention to provoke anyone. people~!"

Li Zexuan waved his hands again and again and said, "Haha~! You don't have to explain to the teacher, you still believe in your character. But why don't you accept Miss Hu's wishes~?"

"Uh~! This..."

Meng Wenhao scratched his head in embarrassment, but did not know how to answer.

Li Zexuan looked at Yan Shaoning and asked, "Could it be a matter of appearance~? Shaoning, what does the eldest Hu family look like~?"

Yan Shaoning held back a smile and said: "The facial features are acceptable, that is... It's just a little plump, there's nothing wrong with it~!"

"Oh~!"

Li Zexuan gave a meaningful "Oh", Meng Wenhao said quickly, "Sir, it's not a matter of appearance, it's just that the students are still young and haven't considered marriage yet~!"

Yan Shaoning pouted and said: "Cut, pretend~! If it wasn't for the appearance of the ghost~!"

"That's right~!"

Li Zexuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Don't you all like plump women, Shaoning?"

He remembered that many books in his previous life wrote that the Tang people regarded fat as beauty~! It stands to reason that since Miss Hu's facial features are not bad, but her figure is slightly plump, such a woman should be more liked by people today, but looking at them now, it is obviously not the case~!

Yan Shaoning said disgustingly: "Go~! Who said I like plump women~? I haven't seen your kid like this~! Why do we have to like this~? Wen Hao, do you like this~? "

Meng Wenhao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Li Zexuan was sweating for a while, and secretly said: Did he remember it wrong again~?

He remembered correctly, he was just misinformed.

In the previous life, people in the Tang Dynasty looked at the saying that women "take obesity as beauty", which has been around for a long time and spread widely.

After some research, some experts asserted that the aesthetics of people in the Tang Dynasty was indeed based on obesity, and pointed out several reasons why people in the Tang Dynasty regarded obesity as beauty: the economic prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, people had the conditions to eat and wear warmly, and maintain a healthy and plump physique; The Korean culture is open, inclusive, wide-minded and fat; the Xianbei blood of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty makes them naturally fond of women with strong physique...

Actually, this statement is wrong, at least inaccurate.

of people

Therefore, it is believed that women in the Tang Dynasty regarded obesity as their beauty, mainly based on the posture of Concubine Yang Guifei and the images of women in court paintings and ladies' paintings of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, as long as you carefully look at the "Walking Cars" by Yan Liben, a famous Tang Dynasty painter, and "The Ladies with Hairpins" by Zhou Fang, it is not difficult to find that the palace maids and ladies in the paintings are not fat at all. The nine palace maids in the "Paper Carriage", surrounded by Li Shimin, walked slowly, some carrying chariots, some holding umbrellas, and some holding fans. She seems to have a lot of strength, and she is by no means a sickly beautiful woman who can't help herself.

However, looking at their bodies, they are actually quite thin. The women in "Ladies with Hairpins" are probably due to their more noble status and a little older age. They are slightly plump, but they are all graceful and graceful in their standing postures, as light as a spring breeze blowing willows. There is no doubt that their body can be described by the word "slim".

Regarding Yang Guifei, there are records of being fat and afraid of heat in the literature. For example, "Kaiyuan Tianbao's Legacy" says that she "has a physical body, and it is bitter and hot in summer." However, Concubine Yang's "physical body" is by no means the level of obesity that people say today. At most, it's just a little muscle, which is the "slight muscle" mentioned in "Yang Taizhen Biography".

A person who is good at dancing ("Dance of Neon Dress and Feather Clothes" is her masterpiece), usually must have physical movement, and it is normal to have a little muscle. Concubine Yang's fear of heat is not because she is fat, but because of her physique. According to the "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy", Yang Guifei "drinks at the beginning of every night, and suffers from lung heat." In order to moisten her lungs, Concubine Yang would put a piece of cool jade fish in her mouth every day in summer.

And there is no historical document to show that Concubine Yang was favored by Tang Minghuang because of her fatness or plumpness. The biography of Concubine Yang Gui in both the old and new "Books of Tang" records that Concubine Yang's favor was mainly due to her "qualification". Specifically, it includes: "Good at singing and dancing, well aware of the rhythm, and wise and alert, welcoming and understanding" ("New Book of Tang" biography), that is, with literary expertise, cleverness, and understanding.

In addition to the description of the poet Du Fu in the poem "Beautiful People", "the state is strong and true, the texture is delicate and the flesh is evenly distributed", that is, gorgeous, dignified, temperament, and delicate skin. The actual situation is that Tang Minghuang did not appreciate the muscles on Yang Guifei's body.

According to "Yang Taizhen's Biography", once Tang Minghuang was reading "Han Chengdi Neizhuan" in the hall of Baihuayuan, Yang Guifei asked him what book he was reading after seeing it. Tang Minghuang smiled and said, "Don't ask. You will feel uncomfortable when you know it."

Concubine Yang grabbed the book and saw that it was written: "Emperor Han Cheng won the flying swallow, and his body was invincible. I was afraid that it would float away. The emperor made a crystal plate and made the palace people sing and dance...". At this time, Tang Minghuang made a joke on her and said, "You can stand the wind better than her." Concubine Yang Gui refused to accept it, and said very confidently that her "Dance with Feather Clothes and Feathers" surpassed Zhao Feiyan.

When Li Bai was enshrining in the Hanlin, he wrote three poems "Qingping Diaoci", which sang about the beauty of Concubine Yang and the life of the court at that time. The second one is dedicated to the beauty of Concubine Yang, the poem says:

A branch of red and bright dew is fragrant, and the cloud and rain Wushan is heartbroken.

By the way, who would like to ask the Han Palace? Poor Feiyan leans on her new makeup.

In the poem, Yang Guifei is compared to peony and Zhao Feiyan. If Yang Guifei is really fat, and Zhao Feiyan can form a sharp contrast between fat and thin, then this comparison is mockery and disobedience. It is very likely that Concubine Yang herself admires Zhao Feiyan and is willing to be compared to Zhao Feiyan by others. It is said that Concubine Yang has the nickname of "Fat Maid", which is probably a curse given to her by people who are jealous and hate her (such as Concubine Mei). This shows that people at that time never regarded obesity as beauty.

The most interesting is Bai Juyi's two poems, "A fat horse walks fast, a prostitute can sing and dance" ("Three Poems with Feelings"). Horses are beautiful because they are fat (the six horses in Zhaoling are all fat), but the kabuki is better because they are thin and tall. Prostitutes are fat, which is an unforgivable shortcoming. The famous poet Du Mu met a relatively fat prostitute who persuaded drinking in Shaanxi, a bar girl. He immediately wrote a poem, which was extremely satirical and scandalous. Please see:

Pangu had a distant grandson at that time, and Shang Ling is now proud of his family.

A carload of white clay will make up the mud items, and ten red flags will make up for the broken cassock.

Every time there are traces in Waguan Temple, there are palm marks in front of Huayue Mountain.

You don't need to be melancholy, worried and difficult to marry, and you will ask Le Kun about the book.

All the signs show that the argument that the Tang Dynasty regarded obesity as beauty is lack of evidence, and this is the first year of Zhenguan, and the Tang Dynasty has only been established for less than ten years. It has not been completely formed. At the very least, Queen Changsun and Princess Changle are not fat people, and they are all very slim.

"Wocao, there is a problem here~!"

Li Zexuan murmured to himself, he also suddenly thought of the Empress Changsun he had seen before, and then he realized that at this time, people did not regard fat as beauty, otherwise Empress Changsun couldn't be so thin~!
