The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty
Chapter 155: The tortoise is longevity
Facing Renzong's shameless words, Yun Yan replied: "What is your green turtle? Don't forget, it's mine now!"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Renzong's face, but he insisted, "...Take a look!"
"..." Yun Yan replied suspiciously, "You are not going to regret it? I have already given it to me. Seeing that it can make more green turtles, you must **** it back? A country is yours, don't you As for grabbing profit with me, a small man?"
"Huh, sly and sophistry, you used the name of the royal imperial gift to deceive, I haven't said about you yet, but I am embarrassed to care about it with me." Renzong said with a stern face.
Naturally, he wouldn't believe that auspiciousness descended from the sky. If it were true, Yun Yan would still be able to report back?
In addition, he knew that Yun Yanhui had rented a house with Zheng's cousin. How could he not know that he was just digging money.
As an emperor, Renzong's head is still sober, unlike the citizens who prefer to listen to stories, now this story quickly spread in Bianjing, and it was very impressive.
Renzong doesn't care how he does business, and now the rumors in the market are very beneficial to him, it is conceivable that Yun Yanhui must deliberately lead this aspect. Renzong just wanted to know how he managed to turn ordinary turtles into green turtles.
This incident really subverted Renzong's cognition.
Could it be that those green hairs are all pasted? Or is it not a real green hair at all? What method did you use?
Yun Yanhui had originally planned to come and report to Renzong. Seeing that he had already exposed his marketing methods, he chuckled and said, "The official wise man, it’s all you take care of... Then what, in fact, I just found the green-haired tortoise. The green hair on the top is a kind of algae, and then I studied how to grow it on the back of the tortoise..."
Renzong: "..."
Renzong suddenly said, "It is so? Sure enough, although this supernatural tortoise has a longevity, it is not auspicious."
"The official said it is auspicious, then it is." Yun Yanhui quickly followed up.
"You think it is." Renzong glanced back at Yun Yan. This flattery was too obvious. Now everyone is saying that it is because he has a good governance that he is auspicious.
Yun Yan smiled back a few times without speaking.
"I really don't know how you came up with it..." Renzong murmured again.
"I just observe more carefully than others." Yun Yan said back.
Renzong believed that if it weren't for Yun Yan to observe carefully, how could he think of this method.
...
Although Renzong knew the inside story, some people didn't know it, and deeply believed the rumors-that the green turtle in the imperial garden changed all the other turtles!
The Yunyanhui auction was very successful. The first batch of green turtles were sold at a high price, which was higher than the price of ordinary wild green turtles. And the story behind this green turtle makes them more eye-catching than ever.
In the past, only people who like pets would pay attention to it, but now, many people are discussing it, which to a certain extent makes the pet turtle market even hotter.
The twenty people who bought the first batch are also very proud of the limelight.
At this time, some people in the market thought that it would be better to steal the green turtles, so that they could also secretly raise a lot of green turtles. There is no need to auction them with great fanfare, as long as they sell only one at a time. I have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life.
——No, let alone worry about food and clothing, you can live as you please.
Attracted by such huge profits, this group of people actually went to Yunyan to steal green turtles when they went home, right next to Kaifeng Mansion, and Yun Yan himself was a member of Kaifeng Mansion.
These people have been here for several days, and they all failed because Yun Yan's stepfather and sister were back at home.
Until a certain day, Yun Yan returned the turtle to Zheng Ling, because Zheng Ling had agreed with his colleagues that he wanted to get the turtle to paint, also to commemorate this auspicious event.
So, those people took advantage of the tortoise at Zheng Ling's place and stole it!
After Zheng Ling found out, he was very anxious, and hurried to find Yun Yan back.
"What, it was stolen," Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, "Who is so bold."
Are you crazy, and dare to steal his tortoise?
"It's okay, don't worry, just assume it hasn't happened." Yun Yanhui said very calmly.
"But, the tortoise was bestowed by God after all..." Although they didn't rely on the tortoise to make green turtles, it still had some meaning.
"Your painting hasn't started yet, right? Just find a bigger one." Yun Yan replied, "The officials themselves don't necessarily remember what the tortoise looks like. We said which one it is. Which one is it then."
"In addition, that green turtle was still found." Yun Yan thought about it, still can't let the thieves go.
In fact, the thieves are excited to buy ten turtles, put them together with the green turtles, and shake hands and hug each other touchingly, "We are going to be rich soon!"
According to the legend, as long as the first half month passes, these tortoises will change significantly and grow green hairs.
As a result, this group of people stared at these turtles every day except eating and sleeping.
However, it seems that the tortoises have not changed at all. On the contrary, they are about to grow hair.
One month has passed, and the turtles are still slippery on their backs, and no hair has grown!
"How could this happen, why didn't it grow hair?"
They are going to collapse, why? Why is there no hairy? !
Could it be said that the green turtle loses its auspicious effect when it gets into their hands?
At this time, some people began to suggest that it would be better to sell this tortoise, somehow it would still make a little money.
However, other people feel that maybe it's just a little slow, or they use the wrong water or feed the wrong food. What if someone else can play auspiciously after selling it? Wouldn't it be regretful to vomit blood?
The two groups quarreled, quarreled, and fought again.
As a result, the water tank was broken after the table was smashed, and the turtles fell out. The green turtle was sat down by one of them, and it was sitting dead! !
Everyone: "..."
They looked at each other in horror, not knowing what to do.
The tortoise is dead, and the dream of getting rich is also broken!
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
One person wondered if it was a takeaway, so he went to open the door, who knew that when the door was opened, a group of Kaifeng government officials rushed in and surrounded them.
"Hey, I finally found you." Yun Yan walked back in.
He hasn't been idle this month, asking around, wanting to know who it was, brave enough to steal his turtle.
These people looked at the battle at the moment, knowing that it would be difficult to fly their wings, and when they looked at the tortoise, they felt malicious in their hearts.
"Even if you catch us, this auspicious will not survive. It is already dead!"
Yun Yan smirked back, "It won't bother you to bother."
These culprits were arrested and sentenced in accordance with the law.
At the same time, this matter also spread.
However, many people don't know that the tortoise is dead-after all, Zheng Ling is still taking orders for custom green tortoises. They thought that Yun Yan had retrieved the tortoise in time.
This incident is also a bit mysterious, that is, the heavenly auspicious tortoise thief cannot be stolen. If it is stolen, it will be particularly unlucky. Drinking cold water will stuff your teeth between your teeth, and you will be caught in the end.
The beginning and the end are very similar to the story in the Romance of Legends, and this story, because of the imprisonment of the thieves, seems to be so credible.
Where did the spectators know that the real Xiangrui had been sat down to the west, and was then buried by Yun Yan.
And those who stole the tortoises were even more dumbfounded when they heard about it in prison. What, oh, the tortoise was obviously dead, how could he still be alive and continue to turn other tortoises into green turtles? !
Regarding this question, Yun Yanhui also wished them that they could come up with it while in prison. IQ is a good thing, but unfortunately they don't.
...
The green tortoise business between Yun Yanhui and Zheng Ling is proceeding steadily, and it is expected that it will take another year and a half before the market can be expanded to other places or even foreign countries.
For example, in Liao, Yun Yanhui is still very interested in earning foreign exchange.
Zheng Ling can be responsible for management matters. His family has always had his own business, which can give him a lot of help, including future sales channels in various places.
Yunyan just needs to put out some marketing plan, and then lie down and collect the money.
In addition, the little tiger had already arrived in Guizhou and wrote a letter back. He was brought back here by Yunyan. He dictated it and handwritten it by the Han Chinese teacher who had taken it.
Yun Yan replied and looked at the letter. The little tiger said in it that after he went back, Auntie and Aniang paid more attention to him than before, and accompanied him almost every day, which made him happier.
Moreover, A-da and A-niang are also grateful and curious about Ge Yan, and hope that they will have the opportunity to thank them in person in the future.
However, there is only one downside, that is, Guizhou is not as convenient as Bianjing.
After staying in the bustling Bianjing, the little tiger couldn't be satisfied with what he wanted to eat or play, which made him a little depressed.
At the end of the letter, I also attached a small tiger's autograph painting. It was Yun Yanhui and himself painted by him. Although the lines are naive, the feeling of innocent miss is also moving.
Yun Yan looked back and was very touched. After thinking about it, he wrote down a thick recipe, as well as transcripts of those children’s stories, and sent them to the little tiger, so that people could cook him something to eat and read some stories to him. He listened, better than nothing.
Now that the princess and Zheng Ping are very close, Yun Yan told the princess to do these things when Zheng Ping was chatting.
The princess originally liked Yun Yanhui very much, and when he heard that he was so attentive-if the princess knew the word Nuan Nan, she would definitely use it-she felt that the child was pretty good in her heart.
The princess said to Zheng Ping: "I think Yan Ge'er is not too young anymore. If you like children so much, you can give birth to one yourself, or you can play with grandchildren. I met many ladies for Yundi's sake, Rong. I think about it, there is something suitable for Ge Yan..."
Zheng Ping sighed, "Don't bother you, Yan Ge'er has a big idea, and he only wants to see each other for himself, and he has to fit his own heart."
The princess smiled, "Why did I pick the one that is not to my liking? He is close to the first brother, so I went to ask the first brother what kind of lady he likes, so just look for it."
