The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Zhao Yunchu was ridiculed by Yun Yan back, but he was not angry. Instead, he said, "Is it necessary to draw a pointed beak on Brother Yan's mask?"

"Ha," Yun Yan said back, "it didn't hurt me at all."

This can’t even be called a counterattack. Without any strength, he wouldn’t have a big reaction because other people use his name to say something, at least not to this extent-think about "Goose Fei" and "Gunner". , That's ruthless.

"Oh, you don't need to draw your mouth, just write "Silly White Sweet", you see, there are people over there who have written "No. 1 in the monthly test" on it." Yun Yan said with a smile and haha.

Zhao Yunchu: "..."

Zhao Yunchu: "I'm angry!"

Yun Yan looked back at him with a smile.

Zhao Yunchu stretched out his hand and hung the mask on Yun Yan's face, and covered Yun Yan's smug smile. Then he looked at it for himself and found a rabbit ear **** from the booth, "Can I want this? ?"

Mao nodded hurriedly.

Yun Yan looked back at the rabbit ears on Zhao Yunchu's head, then touched his carrot, "...too ruthless!"

This is simply hurting the enemy a thousand, hurting himself 800, Dali Temple with rabbit ears on the earmuffs, can you still see it?

Yun Yan wanted to win back, he might have to change to a big bad wolf, but he watched for a long time, and there was no big bad wolf, so he could only say goodbye.

When the two were walking on the street, Zhao Yunchu suddenly pointed in one direction and said: "Look, isn't that the'monthly test first'?"

Yun Yan looked back intently, and it turned out that it was the student who asked to write "No. 1 on the monthly exam" on his mask. They gave him an example just now. This kid is really creative. When everyone is still drawing pictures. , He thought of writing, very expressive of his personality.

But at this time, this "monthly exam first" student seems to be being held down by three or five classmates to say something, and the atmosphere is not very good.

Yun Yan walked over there unconsciously, wanting to hear it.

When I walked not far away, I just heard the aggrieved student yelling: "...I didn't show off! I asked that person to write'Target Monthly Examination No. 1'to Mingzhi. Who knows he missed two words? !"

Zhongtai students: "..."

"..." Yun Yan almost staggered back to where he was, and quickly walked away if nothing had happened, otherwise he couldn't help laughing!

How could such a stupid child be so wronged to be bullied!

However, after this person, quite a few people choose not to paint and choose to write.

Those who sell things simply treat this as an advertisement and write advertising words on the masks.

The students, some of them wrote densely packed articles, looked at each other and recited them all the time.

There are also some blatant ya-nei with frivolous words.

…

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu went to Shao Se. Boss Hao had arranged the noodles, and Shen Kuo had arrived. Yun Yan told Zhao Yunchu and Shen Kuo about each other. The two of them had not met yet.

However, although he had never met, Shen Kuo knew from Yun Yan's friend that he had such a good friend.

Zhao Yunchu also knew that Yun Yanhui admired Shen Kuo very much, so his attitude was serious and friendly.

Shen Kuo watched as Zhao Yunchu arched his hands solemnly and bowed slightly...The two rabbit ears on his head drooped forward a little.

But in general, the rabbit ears supported by thin bamboo pieces are quite strong, but they are a little bounced. The eyes of the people present, Shen Kuo, Boss Hao, and Yun Yan also moved away with it.

Shen Kuo: "..."

Zhao Yunchu recovered and touched his ear, "..."

Embarrassing.

Zhao Yunchu saw the look of gloat, but still refused to take off his earmuffs, and said in embarrassment, "I just bought it at the gate of Taixue. It's a pair with Yan Ge'er."

The eyes of the people present turned to Yun Yan again: Yes, he was wearing a carrot.

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Damn, you don't even watch out for being killed!

Is it too late to say it's not a pair now?

Yun Yan took off his earmuffs angrily, and muttered: "It's not that cold in the room, so you don't need to wear it..."

Zhao Yunchu also took off his earmuffs, smiling slightly, not irritable or impatient.

Shen Kuo looked amused. He only felt that the two of them, as others said, had played together since childhood, and their relationship was really good.

After such an incident, the atmosphere became warmer, and they sat down separately.

Boss Hao first picked up the wine glass, "Today, I must respect Brother Yan first. Without you, I wouldn't be as good as I am now."

Shen Kuo added: "There is also my current dispatch."

"You are polite, Hao Shao Se has long been a famous brand in Bianjing, and Brother Shen is also destined to get ahead." Yun Yan replied with a toast, "We still respect your success today!"

Everyone clinked their glasses and drank full.

Boss Hao added: “If you don’t talk about being drunk or going back today, you don’t want to fight wine, and you’re not allowed to participate in the fight.”

All of you here know Yun Yanhui's abilities, and if you are not drunk for a thousand cups, they all laughed intentionally.

Yun Yan replied helplessly: "It's not that I drink too much, it should be that you are all too weak."

Zhao Yunchu: "Yeah, sometimes I think, when the Liao envoys come to Song Dynasty, you should definitely let you compete with them for drinking, or for hunting..."

When Zhao Yunchu said so, everyone else deeply agreed.

Yun Yan raised his eyebrows, "I will try it next time. I'm afraid that people who come next time will remember that I cared about their turtles."

Boss Hao and Shen Kuo didn't know what happened before, and Zhao Yunchu explained it to them, which immediately caused laughter.

"It's really too bad, it's such a shame!"

However, when it comes to tortoises, Boss Hao has some problems. "Brother Yan, it has been cold recently. A lot of grass and fish died in my tank, so I hurriedly put them in the greenhouse. However, there is no sun in the greenhouse. It is very troublesome to move in and out every day."

"You can change some cold-resistant fish and aquatic plants, like some green wood ferns." Yun Yan recommended him back, "Shui Jing Ji has launched a winter suit. A few days ago, I also saw a customer very With an idea, he arranged his land and water scene into a snow scene, covered it with silk wool, and put blue paper on the wall of the tank, which looked very suitable."

When Boss Hao heard this, his eyes brightened, "Wonderful, this is wonderful. But the silk floss is still a little fake, right? This is to facilitate cleaning? Otherwise, the use of salt may be more real."

Yun Yan replied jokingly: "You are a rich man, so naturally you have sprinkled salt."

"I'm just talking, really sprinkle salt, if it leaks into the water, wouldn't it be a dead end?" Boss Hao scratched his head, "just think about it, it's more convenient for silk."

"In fact, speaking of this, it reminds me whether it is possible to make underwater snow scenes? Pure snow scenes may be a bit boring. It can be used to break ice in early spring. Stones can be replaced with muscovite to create the effect of glaciers. Put on the relatively short water plants." Yun Yan was also excited when he said, "You can also pinch some polar bears and put them on..."

"??" Boss Hao in front of it listened with gusto, but later he didn't understand, "What is a polar bear?"

"It's the bear in the far north! It's pure white, very big." Yun Yan said back.

"There are still bears in the extreme north? Scary, this bear is much more resistant to freezing." Boss Hao praised again, "Brother Yan is really knowledgeable and well-known. Even bears in the extreme north know what color they are. ."

In the past, whatever Yun Yan said back, he could overthrow the merchants who were walking around Bianjing, but...

"Is anyone going to do business in the far north?"

"Dang, of course." Yun Yan returned to Hu Kan. Anyway, no one can confirm whether there were any merchants going to the North Pole. "There are still people living in the extreme north. You can do business where you live. People there live in houses made of ice and snow. Don’t think it will be very cold. In fact, living in an igloo will protect you from the cold.”

Everyone has never heard of such anecdotes. It is because Shen Kuo has been traveling with his father these days, and he loves to listen to interesting anecdotes, and has never heard of such things. What else to live in the igloo, Shen Kuo wondered at the time, and wished he could try it right away.

"If it is true, then the people in this far north are really amazing." Boss Hao sighed.

"Well, this kind of people are called Eskimos, because they go out on sleds in the ice and snow-pulled by dogs." Yun Yan saw Shen Kuo wondering and wondered if this would bring future scientific and historical research. Trouble, how did the Song people in this era understand the habits of the Eskimos?

Let me start by saying that many people do tricks on masks. This is the most interesting activity that Yun Yanhui's cousin and colleagues carried out.

There was nothing wrong with the painting academy in winter, so Zheng Ling joined up with colleagues who had been playing well, went to the branch next to Mao's booth, and then began to help people draw masks. Their drawing skills are superb, and they deliberately portray things in detail, just for fun, just collect a few money randomly, so the market is particularly good.

For example, a cat’s mouth will never be traced like ordinary people in a few strokes, but the flesh and hair are filled in finely. The effect of this is very amazing.

Even when I draw expressions, I also draw realistically, but the effect is a little weird, but there are also many people who love it.

One day, when Yunyan was passing by, he saw them painting, and there was a long line beside him. Zheng Ling was painting fangs on a person's mask—it was used for pranks.

Yun Yan was speechless and poked Zheng Ling, "Are you so free?"

Zheng Ling turned around and saw Yun Yan returning, "Brother Yan, it's winter, and the shop is not so busy anymore. I have to find something to do."

"A group of Hanlins, including a Hanlin waiting for the edict, painting masks on the street? Very good, this is a big song!" Yun Yan patted Zheng Ling's shoulder back and said a few words in Zheng Ling's ear, "Would you like Painting a mural on the street? Then..."

Others could still hear it, but they found that the voice behind them became smaller and smaller, and gradually they couldn't hear it.

Zheng Ling listened and hesitated, "Is it possible? I'm not sure if I have that kind of painting skills."

Yun Yan continued to mutter back.

Zheng Ling cheered up again, "I'll give it a try!"
