The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Yun Yan Hui was a little excited, a bit similar to knowing Bao Zheng's identity for the first time.

Some people in Shen Kuo and Shen Cun may not remember who they are for a while, but when it comes to "Mengxi Bi Tan", many people will suddenly realize that this book is called a milestone in the history of Chinese science.

"Mengxi Bi Tan" was composed by Shen Kuo in his residence in Mengxi Garden in his later years. It includes his life experience and understanding. The content spans many fields such as astronomy, physics, medicine, chemistry, calligraphy and painting, music, government and government.

For example, Bi Sheng and his movable type printing are recorded in "Mengxi Bi Tan", which is the earliest reliable historical data about movable type printing.

-It can also be seen that the book "Mengxi Bi Tan" is compelling.

Although there is a young version of Shen Kuo in front of him, how do you know that he will not write Yun Yan back into his book in the future?

Yun Yan finished his excitement. Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, he patched and said: "I have heard of the reputation of the Shen family in Qiantang a long time ago. I didn't expect to see the son of the Shen family today, so I was a little excited."

Shen Kuo was immediately flattered, thinking that he was a little transparent, who knew that his fame had spread to Bianjing?

Shen Kuo quickly said: "Don't dare, I have been admiring Yunlang for a long time. In fact, I have been paying attention since Kaifeng Deng, and I asked my uncle in Beijing for help. Only then did I know the name of Yunlang. I have been paying attention. It’s just that Yunlang is low-key, and many things are unknown. I saw it today. I really feel that we have met each other late. Please tell me!"

Most people don't understand the roots of popular foods. They can only gossip when they know them, but Shen Kuo is different. He likes to explore.

Shen Kuo has carefully studied things such as scented tea, Kaifeng lanterns, photographic blue paper, and so on. It can be said that they have been fascinated by their common advocates for a long time.

"This is natural!" Yun Yan replied happily.

"Ah, I have to finish reading this prescription first..." Shen Kuo looked at Xiaobao's side, and said swiftly, "I almost forgot. My Shen family has a tradition of collecting prescriptions for generations, and I just told the little master. He promised to tell me the prescription, and I have to see the patient taking the medicine to verify the prescription."

Yun Yan replied, "It's okay, Brother Shen, let's go ahead."

Shen Kuo and Xiaobao went to test the prescriptions, leaving Yun Yanhui and Shuangyi standing in the courtyard.

Shuangyi whispered: "Brother Yan, what Qiantang Shen, why haven't I heard of it?"

Although the Shen family is also a family of officials and eunuchs, it is not a wealthy family, so it is impossible for Shuangyi to have heard of it.

Yun Yan replied casually: "If you are asked to read more, the Shen family is quite accomplished in medicine."

"Really?" Shuang Yi said suspiciously, "I think Shen Cunzhong looks sickly."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

"Don't look at him dying, but he..." He is not short-lived. Doesn't this prove that their family's medical skills are indeed good? The last half sentence can't be said, Yun Yan turned around and said, "I'm very energetic, but I'm a little thinner, and I'm still young."

Shen Kuo is now in his early twenties, He Shuangyi is about the same size, slightly bigger than Yun Yanhui.

Shuangyi shrugged, noncommittal.

Yun Yan took advantage of this time, went to see Ran, and asked him if he knew the young man from outside.

I didn't know each other clearly, but it seemed to be sincere and easy to learn. Not only did I ask for prescriptions, but also applied to see the murals in the temple.

Yun Yanhui couldn't hide his pride. He wanted to show off to others, but he couldn't explain it. Hehe said, "Master, do you think he looks very promising in the future?"

After thinking about it clearly, "Are you going to get married for Shuangyi?"

"..." Yun Yan replied speechlessly, "Why do you think of this? It has nothing to do with Shuangyi, because he and I are going to be friends, so I'll just ask!"

Clearly: "..."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Is it his illusion that what he said just now was weird?

Clearly: "...Oh, what about your friendship? Maybe he can't be a friend if he doesn't have any achievements?"

"No, it's fine, but if there is, I am very proud that I know such a person!" Yun Yan said back straight.

He said indifferently, "I hope you won't be heard by the officials."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Obviously, I don’t understand the excitement of Yunyan Hui. If there is any future, can there be officials?

Yun Yanhui was knocked down by a single sentence, and could only cover his heart and said: "You are right, I can't look like I haven't seen the world anymore!"

He closed his eyes slightly, and said before entering Ding: "But this person does have a lot to do in the future, you can consider it."

consider? What are you considering?

Yun Yanhui didn't understand yet, when he heard Xiaobao calling him from outside, he turned and ran out.

Standing there with a prescription in his hand, Shen Kuo smiled shyly at Yun Yan.

"I also have a painter friend who is also watching the murals. I heard from the master that you also want to observe the murals. I will send you to see them too. I will stay for dinner tonight and I will cook." Yun Yan said back. Let's talk freely at the dinner table."

Yun Yanhui made an excellent arrangement, and Shen Kuo was very happy to say that he asked someone to send a letter to his father, and he listened to Yun Yan's reply.

Yun Yan brought Shen Kuo back to the temple where Yelv Ling was visiting. The two started talking, and Yelv Ling discovered that Shen Kuo also had an understanding of painting, and they had a very happy conversation.

Shen Kuo was a little surprised that this person turned out to be from Liao, so he asked him if he came to do business.

"No, our study and exchange group from Daliao came to Song to learn advanced experience in aquatic landscaping." Yelv said seriously and told Shen Kuo about the seminar about Waterscape.

Shen Kuo naturally knows this very popular thing recently. Although he himself does not raise it, it is very popular in the officialdom now. His father is an official, so he also knows something, and Shen Kuo also knows a little bit about biology, so he actually pointed to Yelu. The reason for the shoe explosion.

Yelu nodded frequently, thinking that this person is also very familiar with painting, and Yun Yan said that he had only come to the temple to beg to meet him, and admired the authentic way, "You are what I have seen, except for Yan Geer. The most knowledgeable Song man."

Yun Yanhui and Shen Kuo waved at the same time, "No, no, I am far inferior to Yun Lang (Brother Shen)."

After speaking, they realized that they were in unison, and the three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Shen Kuo and Ye Lucu were supposed to concentrate on watching the murals, but their plans couldn't keep up with the changes. When they talked, they found that they couldn't calm down at all, so they took them to Yunyan and went home.

Yelu said curly: "By the way, Yan Hui, can I go and see your turtle tomorrow? Is that auspicious?"

Auspicious? Xiangrui had long been sitting on her **** to death, but Yun Yan still responded, "Yes."

Yelu exclaimed: "I wanted to see it a long time ago. It's amazing. There is such a magical thing in the world."

Yun Yan glanced back at the moment that Shen Kuo was pursing his lips and smiling. The two looked at each other. Yun Yan knew that Shen Kuo might have solved the mystery, so he blinked at him.

Shen Kuo also blinked, indicating that he knew, and the two of them were tacitly aware.

…

How to entertain friends from far away?

Of course it is hot pot!

Yun Yan brought the ingredients and pot back and told them to eat hot pot. Shen Kuo was fascinated and said that he could eat the authentic Bianjing Boxia confession.

After a while, Xiaobao and Shuangyi also came. Because Shuangyi was a woman and wanted to avoid suspicion, they moved a small table to eat alone. Xiaobao helped her iron the food and handed it over.

Yun Yan came back to pour the wine, and everyone chatted while drinking.

Shen Kuo mentioned that he heard that the Kaibao Temple in Bianjing was rebuilding the Inspiration Tower. The craftsman was going to build the tower on an oblique angle. He was a skilled carpenter and wanted to see it.

Little Bao laughed, "Then I knew my brother, the master craftsman. When he was building the tower, my brother also said to build a leaning tower. Yu Dulian said that it coincided with his idea."

Shen Kuo was very pleasantly surprised, "Then please help us to introduce it. I heard that he wrote a book of "Wood Scripture", which shows the true meaning of carpenter's craftsmanship. I really want to read it."

"Of course it can!" Yun Yan smiled back.

Shen Kuo: "It is said that a fellow of mine invented movable type printing last year and was summoned to Beijing by officials to make an offering..."

The crowd roared: "Knowing and knowing, and knowing! Do you want to see?"

Shen Kuo nodded like garlic, "Think about it!"

Yun Yan thought it was particularly funny, "Brother Shen is really fascinated by so many people."

"Yes," Shen Kuo said embarrassedly, "Thanks you are locals. By the way, do you still know Zheng Feibo of the Hanlin Academy of Painting? His painting method is completely different from the painting method popular in the Hanlin Academy of Painting today. He is one of his own, good at capturing the local customs."

Everyone: →_→

Shen Kuo: "Why, how, also know?"

Yelu smiled and said, "It's more than just a acquaintance! I know that Zheng Feibo is Yanhui's cousin, and now the two of them are boiling water together."

Shen Kuo had been in the field before and was not so well informed. At this time, he felt surprised and funny. "Why does everyone I want to meet, Yun Lang knows."

-Not to mention, Yun Yan returned to himself as the person he wanted to visit, and his master knew the Zen master.

"By the way, I heard that there are special wines in Kaifeng Mansion. My father is a good wine man. Yun Lang works in Kaifeng Mansion. Do you know how to get a few pots?" Shen Kuo said, drinking another glass of wine, and asked with a red face. road.

Everyone: →_→

Yun Yan smiled back and patted the wine jar on the table. "How many jars you can get today depends on how much you drink. The rest of this jar will be packed for you."

Shen Kuo looked at the wine and then at Yun Yan. It took a long time to react and said dumbfounded: "I am drinking the special brew of Kaifeng Mansion?"

Everyone nodded, "Yes!"

Shen Kuo: "..."

Shen Kuo shook his head and became a little more sober, "So it seems that meeting Yun Lang today is probably the luckiest thing I have encountered in Beijing!"

Yun Yan felt a sense of confusion when he was in a trance. He was worshiping a great **** in history, but the great **** was admiring him and his friends...Unconsciously, they were already making history.

"It's amazing..." Yun Yan whispered back and filled up the wine again. "Don't say so much, you won't be drunk or go home today!"

The crowd should be there, and they toasted and drank together.

…

At the willow shoots on the moon, Shen Kuo, Xiaobao, and Yelu were so drunk that they were still howling: "Brother Yan! Drink! I don't believe if you are drunk!"

Yun Yan went back and fluttered slightly, walked outside, saw a person on the steps, napping with the railing, curled up into a ball.

Yun Yan walked back and patted the man's shoulder, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I forgot you..."

The Liao ambassador who came to Bianjing will be monitored. This person is the monitoring personnel of Kaifeng Prefecture. Regardless of whether the subject is suspicious or not, they must always keep track of the trend.

The man wanted to cry without tears: "Brother Yan, next time I would trouble you to say that you want to spend the night outside earlier? I'm so good for someone to hand over! I was so dumb when I was learning cuckoos outside, you! Why! Ignore me!"

"...I started drinking, I just thought of you just now," Yun Yan touched his head back, "The cry, I thought it was my hen!"
