The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Yun Yan went back to work as a tour guide, and got acquainted with the members of the Liao State mission. He felt that the attitude of these people was a little different from what he had imagined before.

Due to various modern literary and artistic works and historical records, Yun Yanhui always felt that the relationship between Song and Liao was tense, and the envoys came to constantly provoked and were beaten in the face...

For example, Su Shi and Su had once slapped the face of the envoy of the Liao country. The Liao envoy used the absolute that everyone in his country was not up to: three lights, sun, moon and stars. As a result, Su Shi gave three kinds in minutes. One of the solutions is "Four Deyuan Henry".

The Liao ambassador was still unwilling, thinking that there was a loophole in this one, and the four virtues were missing a "chaste", but Su Shi told him that this was because he avoided Renzong's taboo, and Renzong called Zhao Zhen to come.

——I can’t slap my face any more, it sounds like a TV show, but it’s all true, it’s just that it hasn’t happened yet at this point in time.

However, after getting along these days, Yun Yan felt that maybe only the envoy would test others with purpose. Those who are related to group play, didn't think about so many things between countries at all.

After all, Song Liao has been at peace for many years, and the officials above are left to do the difficult things. They just have to play.

Anyway, these people are very good to Yun Yanhui, they think he is very cute, and some people strive to invite Yun Yanhui to find a chance to go to Liao with the mission next time, and then they can also bring Yunyan back to buy and buy.

Yun Yan could only say honestly: "I'm a temporary worker, I don't have any education yet, and I won't be sent as an envoy."

They didn't know what a temporary worker was, Yun Yan said back, because he did not participate in the scientific examination and did not have a staff.

Yeluxiu felt it was a pity, "If a talent like you comes to our Liao country, he will definitely be an official."

Yun Yan said back in his heart, what's the matter, this is to solve the organization problem for him? It seems that this person is really ill-intentioned, he must have been inquired about him...

Yun Yan squinted at Yelu's curly.

Yelu said sincerely: "The eight-treasure glutinous rice you cook is very delicious, and our country's lord also likes to eat glutinous rice."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

When the others heard it, they all agreed.

Yun Yan Hui is almost drunk, your country is too casual!

Right now is a person who is exonerated because he painted the emperor's portrait well, and now he is still trying to persuade others to cook glutinous rice for the emperor as an official. What is the significance of this official's work? Will it be possible for people to see such an anecdote thousands of years later? It is recorded that temporary workers in Kaifeng went to Liao and became officials with the skill of cooking glutinous rice.

"No, my home is here, and I already feel good about my job now." Yun Yan said politely back.

Yelu sighed and said: "It's a pity! Although our Daliao is not as prosperous as Bianjing, there are still many good things. I really want to take you around."

"Is there something, if you say so, I also want to ask for an agent..." Isn't Zheng Ling in Hongyou Temple? He knows a lot of the members of the Song Dynasty's envoy, and if necessary, he can also ask someone to purchase an agent. .

Although the missions are all engaged in the business of purchasing agents, in the Song Dynasty, the envoys of the Song Dynasty were forbidden to trade privately for profit, but they could not be stopped or could not be stopped. Even if they were dismissed, they would continue to do business. This has become public. Secret. However, it is precisely because it is not allowed on the surface, so we must find reliable people to purchase.

"The first one is naturally to talk about pearls," Yelu said proudly. "You should have heard of this. You Song people love it very much. It is called Beizhu. It has excellent light quality and is quite famous."

Yun Yan replied, this can be bought for the family members of the family, and women should like it very much. Moreover, although Beizhu was popular at this time, it was not considered a sky-high price, and he could afford it.

Yelu eloquently introduced to Yun Yanhui, because he was not good at Chinese, so there was a problem in the process. I can't think of how to translate or describe it. At this time, we must work together.

"...This, this, watermelon! It tastes so sweet!"

As Yelu said curly, Yun Yanhui suddenly heard the word "watermelon" and a sharp voice, "Wait, what did you say? Watermelon?"

Yelu paused, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Yun Yanhui was a little excited. It was a watermelon, the watermelon he was thinking of. He always thought that the watermelon was extinct in the Central Plains.

Yun Yanhui himself likes watermelons very much. It's a pleasure to eat a watermelon on ice in summer. He even felt that if it weren't for the seasonal restrictions on watermelons, it should be some of the fruits!

"You, why do you have watermelons there?" Liao is not the origin of watermelons.

Yelu replied: "Back then, Taizu broke through the tribes of the Western Regions and defeated the Uighur, and brought back the watermelon seed. We used cow dung to cover the shed to grow the watermelon, but it seems that the melon from the Uighur is more delicious..."

Damn, yes, isn't the Uighur the Uyghur afterwards?

Yun Yan patted his forehead back, really stupid.

"I'm special, especially want to eat watermelon." Yun Yan replied sincerely, "Can you buy some good watermelon seeds? I am not familiar with the Uyghur delegation."

"What's wrong with this!" Yelu patted her chest, "I'll go back and collect some watermelon seeds for you, and then ask your country or our country's mission to bring it back to you next time."

Next time, the birthdays inherent in the year will also be the birthdays of He Zhengdan and Emperor He. Yun Yanhui has also learned that the birthday of Xingzong Liao is at the end of February because he entertains the envoys. Came back with the mission.

This was really bad in ancient times. The journey was too time-consuming. No wonder the ancients had so much parting melancholy.

"Okay, Hai Lin, isn't your majesty’s birthday at the end of February? Our mission will leave for Liao in a few days, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to make it. You can write a letter of introduction for you, and then I will ask them. Ask your relatives and friends for help to get seeds."

"What's the problem, I'll write it to you!" Yelu agreed very readily, "You are so good to me, what is this seed, and what else do you want?"

"No, just this hobby." Yun Yan recalled the thought of getting seeds, being able to grow watermelons, and eating watermelons in the next year, not to mention all kinds of derivatives, she was extremely happy.

Yelu thought about it for a while and said, "We are going back on the sixth day of the year. Before that, let me draw you a portrait."

Yun Yan never expected that he would say this when he returned. I went, this is the treatment of the emperor!

Although he complained about the emperor of the Liao Kingdom too casually, he was able to save people from his crime by relying on a painting, which shows how sophisticated his painting skills are.

During Yunyan's return period, Ai Ai said: "Then how embarrassed... Is it okay to draw me in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Yelu curled up: "..."

...

Yelu followed Yun Yan back to Kaifeng Mansion. He didn't bring any paper or pen. Yun Yan asked back, and he said, "I'm just going to see Kaifeng Mansion, keep it in my head, and then draw you all. , Don’t have to watch and paint."

So awesome? Yun Yan felt that after wearing it, he was really shocked in various ways, not knowing why there were so many cows.

Yun Yan stood at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion and let Yelu observe carefully.

Daxiangguo Temple and Kaifeng Mansion are both important to him. Both have fulfilled his abilities, and the people in both places are very good, making him feel that his work is happier and he is willing to give.

In view of the fact that Daxiangguo Temple has been presented in Zheng Ling's pen, this time, Yun Yan returned to hope to "take a photo" with Kaifeng Mansion. I don't know if these two paintings will be passed on to later generations, he is quite looking forward to it.

Yun Yanhui was thinking dreamily. He suddenly heard a meow, and looked up. It turned out that Da Mao cautiously appeared on the wall, looked at him, and then turned back and meowed. Then, several other hairs also appeared. At the top of the wall.

Yun Yan smiled back, and didn't know how they found out that he was outside the door, but he didn't make a sound.

"What are you doing, don't go outside!" At this moment, there was a voice, and then another person climbed up, hung his hands on the wall, and called six hairs in his mouth, and immediately saw Yun Yan back. Suddenly stunned, then Jun's face flushed.

Yun Yan's smile deepened, and he shouted meaningfully: "Zhan guards."

Because of the "Royal Cat" matter, Zhan Zhao always seemed to be a little subtle to these cats. In addition, everyone called him Qi Mao behind his back. He seemed to have heard a little wind, so he always looked cold towards these cats on weekdays. .

Never expected...

Zhan Zhao looked particularly awkward, "I'm just afraid they will be lost..."

The more I spoke, the weaker the voice, and when I let go of my hand, I fell down the wall and disappeared.

The fact that Yelu performed the photo shoot later made Zhao Yunchu particularly unhappy.

Yelu was very quick to draw, and he finished painting before he left, and gave it to Yun Yan.

Yun Yan looked back and saw that the painting was indeed a vivid self, standing at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, smiling full of smiles. What's interesting is that there are six cats and one Zhan Zhao painted on the wall next to him, uniformly crooked. Head to see Yun Yanhui at the door.

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yanhui was a little crazy at first, and painted like it, but why did he draw both the cat and the Yumao so faithfully? But when you look closely, the picture is really lively a lot, making Kaifeng Mansion look less solemn.

Especially the subtle and similar movements of the six cats alone made Yun Yan think that Yelv Ling had also heard of Zhan Zhao's nickname.

Yun Yan took the painting back, and Zheng Ping also liked this painting very much, saying that the next work was decided to take this painting out.

When Zhao Yunchu and Zheng Ling came to his house to play, Zheng Ping also showed the paintings. Zheng Ling saw that he calculated that Yun Yan would return to him to introduce him to Yelu's shoes and exchange painting skills. Zhao Yunchu was sour.

"I can also feed cats, and I can climb walls..."

Yun Yan replied: Is this the problem? ?
