The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

The morning sun shines through the bamboo leaves into the house, the light and shadow are mottled, and the sound of sandalwood boards rang eight times not far away.

Yunyan turned over and sat up, and wiped her eyes.After being dazed for a while, he got up and saw that Xiaobao next to him was still sleeping on his back, so he put on his clothes and went to the kitchen to unload the dough.

At this time, it was already the fifth year after Yun Yan returned to travel, and he was almost eight years old in real life.

Zheng Ping had already gone to take care of the children's residence, and provided meals there.

Yunyan returned three bowls of noodle soup, which contained egg flower and a few slices of vegetables, and brought them to the living room, then knocked on Shuangyi's door, and when she heard Shuangyi's answer, she went back to her room and pushed Xiaobao away. Wake up and help him get dressed together.

Xiaobao's clothes were all put on, but he was still not sober, so he hung on Yun Yanhui's body and went out.

The three of them stood side by side near the water tank and finished washing, and then served noodle soup on the table.

Shuangyi took two bites, suddenly thought of something, and said to Yunyan: "Brother Yan, my coat was worn out yesterday, can you mend it for me?"

"...Take it easy, does it look good if you mend so many clothes?" Yun Yanhui replied helplessly.

Shuangyi blushed and agreed.

Yun Yan wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry. How did that shy little loli become like this... Oh no, she is still shy, but her growth is a bit strange.In the past two years, Zheng Ping has been able to cut new clothes, but Yun Yan has come back to do the sewing and mending.

Because as Shuangyi learned Kesi and embroidery more and more days, everyone found that Shuangyi did not have this talent at all, and she could not learn Kesi and embroidery. Rice is also an idiot.

It was as if she had been cast in the wrong birth, and she was better at wielding knives and guns, learning from the monks in the temple all day long.

Yun Yanhui had no choice but to go into battle by herself and share this part of the housework. They had no choice but to ask Shuangyi to help with sewing and cooking, and none of them felt at ease.

After breakfast, Yunyan went back to wash the dishes with Xiaobao.

Shuangyi went to feed the chickens.

They fenced off the bamboo grove outside the house and raised chickens inside. Yun Yanhui's idea was that they were responsible for the day-to-day until the sale, and kept the money they earned as pocket money.

Shuangyi picked up the feed with a bamboo pole and fed it to the chickens. The chickens had already gotten used to it and flapped their wings to eat the feed.In this way, if you exercise like this every day and eat bugs in the bamboo forest, the meat of these free-range chickens will be particularly delicious.

It was just feeding a chicken, and Shuangyi was restless poking around with a bamboo pole, as if she was wielding a spear and stick, and she never forgot to practice kung fu.

Over there, after Yunyan Hui and Xiaobao finished washing the dishes, they took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to practice calligraphy.

Yun Yan recalled that it was Zheng Ping who enlightened him back then, and later Zheng Ping also paid him to send him to study with his master, but after Yun Yan thought back for a year and understood the imperial examinations clearly, he didn't want to take this road at all.

Yun Yan originally thought that it would be better to have a good reputation, to avoid taxes and so on, but he found that he had studied for so many years and his grades were not bad, but when he studied in ancient times, he almost doubted life, it was too difficult up!

It is very difficult to study, and it is even more difficult to take the test of merit. It may take decades to fail the test. Yun Yanhui feels that he is really helpless with the ancient scriptures, and he is not as hardworking as the ancients.

Therefore, Yun Yanhui asked to drop out of school, and his master was very surprised, because Yun Yanhui was the fastest learning progress among the students of the same age.

Don't you know that this is because Yun Yanhui is an adult, and of course he is stronger than a child, but he himself understood the homework he will face in advance.

Yun Yanhui thought so, with his stereotyped thinking and three views, even if he spent all his time trying to get a name, what's the use?Who can compare with it?This is the Song Dynasty, my dear, Tang Poetry and Song Ci. In history, the Tang and Song dynasties absolutely had no shortage of talents!

Ci people are running all over the place, and there are as many talented scholars as dogs.

Besides, after wearing it for 1000 years, is it just for studying?Or live freely!

It took Yun Yanhui a lot of time to convince Zheng Ping that she was able to successfully drop out of school. Fortunately, Zheng Ping was not obsessed with fame or anything. She even thought that Yun Yanhui might have inherited her deceased husband's hobbies and was more interested in doing business.

Moreover, after Yunyan returned from school, she would still buy books to read by herself, just buying some interesting books, orthodox books, but there was no pressure to study.

After Xiaobao reached his age, it was Zheng Ping who enlightened him, and then Yun Yan brought him to read and read together.

Xiao Bao also went to study with the father and son that Yun Yanhui followed, but he persisted longer than Yun Yanhui, for two years, and then he refused to study, and came back to study with Yun Yanhui.

Zheng Ping also asked, Xiaobao didn't want to do business or something, because he got close to Qingran in the past few years, and he wanted to learn medical skills from him.So now I often go to Ran to study medicine there.

Yun Yanhui agrees with Xiaobao very much. Dropping out of school does not mean that he will stop studying. On the contrary, on the road of learning medical skills in the future, he will have to learn more things in order to grow.

After Yunyan finished practicing the calligraphy, she told Xiaobao to continue watching, and went out with a small bag.

……

Today coincides with the fifteenth day, and it is another day of the Daxiangguo Temple Wanxing Temple Fair.

On the way back, Yunyan greeted the monks and businessmen she met, and walked around the temple familiarly. After living in the temple for several years, it is very familiar to him, and he is also very familiar with it.

Seeing the monk Yun Yanhui, those who are familiar with him not only greet him, but also half-truly joke: "Brother Yan, when will you take refuge?"

Everyone in the Daxiangguo Temple knew that this was the favorite disciple of Zen Master Yaoran, who had been "pursuing" hard all the time, and they all regarded him as one of their own.

Yun Yanhui could only cover her face in silence. If he hadn't been determined all these years, everyone would have taken him as a real little monk, okay?In this way, some people think that he is also a reserve monk now.

At the front door, Yunyan turned her gaze around the crowd and found her target, a Hu merchant.

This Hu businessman came here half a month ago. After setting up a stall for half a month, the goods he brought were almost sold out, which meant that he was about to return.Before leaving, we will also wholesale some Central Plains goods.

Yun Yan went back to stand in front of his stall, and Hu Shang asked in Mandarin with an accent, "Xiao Langjun, what do you want?"

"I don't want anything, I want to ask the boss if you are interested in Kesi?" Yun Yan asked in a low voice.

Hu Shang's eyes flickered, Kesi, in recent years, the price of Kesi in Bianliang has been getting higher and higher, especially for excellent works, not to mention that in his country, exquisite embroidery from Bianliang is very popular, and can often be sold Sell ​​at a high price.

But Kesi, because it takes a lot of effort, is in short supply even in Bianliang, and there is not enough to supply our own people.

Yun Yan unpacked some of the baggage and showed it to Hu Shang.

Hu Shang's eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched out his finger excitedly, "Sell it to me!!"

……

Yunyan counted the money back and stuffed it into her bosom.

In recent years, Zheng Ping has also been making some Kesi slowly in addition to official work. The progress is relatively slow, but there is always one piece of work in a year, which is enough to supplement the rent and daily life in Daxiangguo Temple, and there is still a surplus. save.

Because of the blockade of her natal family, she couldn't sell it in Bianliang, so she thought of a way to secretly sell it to a Hu merchant who was about to leave Bianliang, and sold it like this, without renting the stall, so as not to be found doing this business.

Yun Yan walked around the temple fair calmly with money in his pocket. It was not because he had too much trust in the moral character of people these days, but because he had spent the past few years here and there. With his many years of experience in modern times, , know how to communicate with people.

The teacher who brought Yunyan back at the time used to be in charge of the work of public opinion in the government propaganda department. What he usually does most is to get acquainted with the media from all over the world who have never met before in the shortest time when there is an incident, and then start working.

Yunyan learned a lot from him.And even though Yunyan Hui is young now, she always stays with Qingran, so it is easy to win people's trust here.It can be said that even if an ignorant outsider stole the money, he would have to spit it out before leaving the Daxiangguo Temple.

When Yunyan went back to the "pet market" in Dasanmen, she caught a glimpse of an animal in a cage, and was stunned at that moment, and took a long time to wipe her eyes to make sure she was right.

He walked a few steps there, looked at the black and white hair ball in the cage, and was dumbfounded, "This, this is not..."
