The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Yun Yan left from Zhao Yunchu's place, but after thinking about it, she still felt a little uneasy, so she went to find Zhao Yundi, hoping that he would look at Zhao Yunchu more in the past few days.

Zhao Yundi is molesting his servant.

How should I put it, because of his hobby, the people he puts next to him are all carefully selected by the princess, and he guarantees that they will never be picked up by him.However, even if Zhao Yundi can't play it, he still likes to have a dry addiction.

When he saw Yunyan coming back, he said "hey", let go of the unyielding boy, and smiled lewdly at Yunyan instead.

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yanhui pretended not to see anything, and told him to look at Zhao Yunchu more.

Zhao Yundi looked at Yun Yanhui suspiciously, he really wouldn't care about his younger brother's condition when he was fine, so unlike the princess, he still knew that Zhao Yunchu was in a bad mood these days.

But Yunyan's appearance like this can easily make him suspicious.

Yun Yanhui didn't intend to hide it, she told Zhao Yundi directly, and said: "You have to be responsible."

Zhao Yundi: "..."

What's the matter with him?

Yun Yan replied: "You are all setting a bad example."

Zhao Yundi said with a stinky face: "I haven't had time to set an example, I didn't touch you."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Zhao Yundi: "If he really learns from me, he won't be like this!"

Yun Yanhui felt very tired and didn't bother to talk to this idiot, "Anyway, take care of your little brother."

Although he thinks that Zhao Yundi is a bad role model, there is one thing that Zhao Yundi is good about, that is, he can take it easy, no matter how he is made, he seems to be happy every day.

Yun Yanhui sometimes feels that although his and Zhao Yundi's life content is different, maybe the happiness value is the same.It would be great if Zhao Yundi could infect Zhao Yunchu.

……

When Yunyan went back, she was still standing outside the yard, and she smelled the aroma of cooking cakes.

Well, definitely meaty.

The neighbors passing by also drooled and said, "Dalang, are you steaming pancakes again?"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Alas, fortunately his surname is not Wu.

"That's right, my aunt is steaming..." Yunyan returned home and found that the staple food tonight was cooking cakes, which were almost ready to be steamed, and there was nothing he could do to help.

Yun Yan took out the two wooden boxes back, but before Shuang Yi came back, she gave Zheng Ping the one first.

Zheng Ping was making pancakes, when Yun Yan came back, she took out the necklace and hung it around her neck from the back, "Aniang, here it is for you."

Zheng Ping lowered her head, almost startled by the Da Beizhu inside, "Where did it come from?"

"...Auntie, why do you sound like I have done something bad?" Yun Yan replied depressedly, "Didn't you entrust the missionary to buy seeds from the Liao Kingdom, and also brought two Beizhu along the way, and took them with you?" Made two kinds of jewelry."

Zheng Ping was pleasantly surprised for a moment, Yun Yanhui had never told her that there was such a thing, all women love beauty, not to mention it was a gift from their son.Zheng Ping immediately left the pancakes alone, and ran to look in the mirror.

Yun Yan quickly took over and took out all the pancakes.

Zheng Ping especially liked this neck view, and after looking at it for a long time, she thought it was time to buy some new cloth and make some new clothes to match.

Yun Yan knew that this would not be finished. After Zheng Ping finished the clothes, she would find that the shoes had to be matched with new ones, and other accessories had to be matched, and so on...

But it is also good to enjoy these fun, unlike Shuangyi.

Just as she was thinking, Shuangyi also came back, and today she was wearing men's clothing, but her black hair was tied behind her head with a plain silver hairpin, and she was also very plainly dressed.

Yun Yan returned to give the jewelry to Shuangyi, saw that Shuangyi was playing with it in her hands, and asked, "Are you thinking in your heart that there seems to be no chance to wear it, it's too easy to lose fun, and it's inconvenient to move?"

The designs of these accessories are originally intended for girls who are very delicate in behavior, and there will never be a time when their movements are particularly large.

Shuangyi smiled sarcastically, "There will be, there will be, I will wear it when I get a chance."

Yunyan glared back at her, "It's better like this." She also asked Zheng Ping to make a few sets for Shuangyi when she made clothes.

……

A few days later, Zheng Ling went to Kaifeng Mansion to find Yun Yan, and asked him to go out for dinner.

On weekdays, he would eat in the cafeteria, but today he went out to eat. Naturally, Zheng Ling couldn't hold back his curiosity, and wanted to take this opportunity to ask Yunyan about returning to Zhao Yunchu.

The two randomly found a foot shop near Kaifeng Mansion, ordered some food and wine, and chatted while eating.

When Zheng Ling asked, Yunyan knew that he was not a fool, so he must have understood, so she told him not to worry, she had already convinced Zhao Yunchu, and Zhao Yunchu was trying to get out now.

Zheng Ling was speechless, "...so obedient."

It's unbelievable, but thinking that Zhao Yunchu really listened to Brother Yan for everything on weekdays, it's not so difficult to accept.But Zheng Ling is a little skeptical, can things like feelings really "work hard" to change?

But seeing Yunyan's confident expression, Zheng Ling didn't say anything.

The two looked at each other, seeing a lot of helplessness in each other's eyes, and clinked glasses together.

We all grew up together, who knew something like this would happen?

Zheng Ling didn't know that Zhao Yunchu had secretly kissed Yunyan back a long time ago, he thought it was this time that Yunyan's return was exposed by a gu, but in fact Yunyan returned to find out a long time ago.

The two clinked glasses and ate wine, but a new customer entered the foot shop.

This person is tall and tall, wearing a moon-white flower cloak, a crimson shirting robe, and soap-colored official boots on his feet. This attire can only be described by the word coquettish bag. It is easy for ordinary people to look greasy when wearing it, especially this person His features are delicate and his face is extremely handsome.However, his demeanor is very cold and sharp, and between looking and looking, it makes people's hearts awe-inspiring, suppressing this attire for a living.

Many customers in the store have noticed him, there is no way, it is too eye-catching.

Yun Yanhui also glanced at it, and then murmured in her heart, it's so stylish, but I haven't seen or heard of it in Bianjing, it's an outsider——

Yun Yan has seen countless people back, and at a glance, it is basically certain that this person is not an ordinary person.

Not to mention anything else, if he is willing to rely on his face for food, he will probably be rich...

The doctor in the store ushered this person to a seat, and then gave him the names of the drinks and dishes.

The hall is so big, and this person didn't deliberately lower the volume, so Yun Yanhui easily heard his words: "Bring me old Shaoxing wine——Is there any fish?"

The doctor nodded hurriedly.

Yun Yan returned to her heart to confirm her previous thoughts. This person is indeed a foreigner, and the accent can be heard.

The guest: "Bring me the wine first, let me have a look, and the fish is also served, I want to choose."

After Yunyan listened back, she felt in her heart that this was a very picky guest.

The doctor obviously also noticed this, and hurriedly brought a jar of wine first, opened it and poured out a bowl.

The guest's outstanding face suddenly showed a disgusted expression, "The color is not strong enough, and the fragrance is also a little lighter. Is this the best?"

The doctor took the wine back in a hug, and went to the wine cellar to get a new one.

When the guest saw it, he was indeed a good Chen Shao, so he was satisfied.

Not enough, the doctor had to go to the back kitchen to scoop out the fish with a basin. The fish inside were all fat and big, and the biggest one weighed more than two catties. The doctor also boasted: "You came at the right time, this is an authentic The hehua fish are lively and lively, and can be killed immediately."

The guest glanced at him like an idiot: "Hehuayu? Last year's?"

The doctor choked, "Uh..."

Guest: "Hehua fish is planted with rice to release fry. This season has just started sowing, and a small fish fry will grow in the rice field. It will grow to the size of a palm at most in a few months. You harvested it last year and continued to raise it. ?”

The doctor nodded stupidly, "Well, yes."

The guest raised his pink lips and laughed, "But now the Hehua fish in Daxiangguo Temple have been raised for so long, and they are all black and shiny. Isn't your carp an ordinary carp?"

Only then did the doctor realize that the person in front of him was not an ordinary foreign guest, but a very knowledgeable one. Even the local guests around him seemed lively and booed, so he no longer dared to be deceived and accepted it honestly.

The guest didn't bother with him, took a sip of wine, didn't look at him, and said lightly: "Right here, kill the biggest one, so that you don't steal it. After killing it, burn it dry, remember to be sure You need to put some sugar, put mushrooms in it, it needs to be fresh and tender, and it needs to be bigger than two copper coins, so it must be washed clean."

The doctor's eyes sparkled when he heard it, and he wrote it down, wondering where this guest came from, and why he was so difficult to deal with.

However, as soon as he saw this guest, his feet became weak, and he dared not disobey. He hurried to the kitchen, ordered them one by one, prepared the dishes, and when he brought them back, this difficult guest graciously served them. He rewarded him with more than 100 articles, so the doctor was happy again.

The guest tasted this dry roasted carp, the thick sauce wrapped the tender fish, and the soft and plump shiitake mushrooms. After a few mouthfuls, he said reservedly: "It's not bad."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and boasted again with a smile: "That is, to tell you the truth, our cook is related to the master chef of the official chef of Kaifeng Mansion, and the master chef also gave him advice on weekdays."

Whoever believes this is a fool.

Nowadays, I don’t know how many catering businesses in Bianjing city are beating around the bush and have a relationship with the official chef of Kaifeng Mansion. The reason why they are beating around the bush is of course that they are afraid of Kaifeng Mansion. dinner.

Local people will not believe it after hearing so much about the relationship like this, but outsiders will still be a little interested.

But the doctor seems to have forgotten that the guest in front of him is very picky about food and understands it well.

After hearing the doctor's words, the guest said very harshly: "If this is the case, then the official chef of Kaifeng Mansion is probably in vain."

PhD:"……"

A lot of other customers who heard it laughed, and didn't give the store any face at all.

Yun Yanhui on the side looked at Zheng Ling and smiled helplessly.

They have never been to this store before, but they have also met people in other stores who claim to have some relationship with the chef of Kaifeng Prefecture, and even heard of the relationship between eating in the same place, but they also It is to laugh it off, it is impossible to be serious with others.

It was this guest who made people speechless with one sentence.

This was a trivial matter, Yun Yan didn't take it to heart when she went back, chatted with Zheng Ling for a while, and then went back to Kaifeng Mansion.

-

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Yan went back to the yamen with a yawn, and met Gongsun Ce while eating breakfast.

Gongsun Ce looked like he was still awake, Yun Yan asked him when he returned, "Sir, did you steal the chicken last night?"

Gongsun Ce glared at him, "It's too early today."

Yun Yan returned to be kind and quick, and changed her tune: "Pick up eggs in the morning?"

Gongsun Ce: "..."

Gongsun Ce looked around, told him to come over, and said in a low voice, "Earlier, when the Lord Fuzun was going to court, he found a steel knife from nowhere in the room!"

Yun Yan gasped back, "What kind of illegal organization is so daring that it dares to threaten Fu Zun?"

Hearing this, Yun Yan turned around and felt that it was like sending bullets and blades to people in modern times, but he thought it was incredible that besides Grand Master Pang, anyone else had the guts to threaten Bao Zheng?And even Grand Master Pang, they don't play threats, but directly attack...

Gongsun Ce shook his head, "It's half right, it wasn't a total threat, the steel knife was attached with a card, and it said grievances, and it was to avenge people's grievances."

Yun Yan turned her head numb: "Is it written in blood? Could it be a ghost seeking justice again..."

Such a hostile way always feels terrible, don't you want to ask for your life if you don't redress the injustice?

"It was written in ink. The lord rushed to the court, and left it for the next court to check, but he called me to investigate..." Gongsun Ce said quietly, as if he hadn't had enough sleep, "I haven't had enough sleep yet. What do you see, you can go and see with me later."

"Oh yes." Yun Yan responded, finished the porridge and fried dough sticks, and went to Bao Zheng's room with Gongsun Ce to look at the steel knife.

Yun Yan looked back, and saw that the steel knife was nothing more than a cold light, and there were indeed four words on the post next to it, "Yan Cha Sanyuan", the words were very strong, and I didn't know who Yan Chasan was, and he was wronged. where.

Yun Yan went back to read the post carefully, and heard Gongsun Ce say from the side, "Look, there is a little stain on the lower left corner, it seems to be oil stain."

Yunyan turned her eyes and looked closely, and there was indeed a little oil stain.

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly put the post under his nose to sniff.

Gongsun Ce watched with his hands folded, and teased, "What a hunting dog."

Yunyan smelled it for a long time, and really smelled something wrong. He said to Gongsun Ce seriously: "It wasn't made outside. If it wasn't that the person who voted for this post was from our house, then it must have been the person who posted it first." In the house of the mansion where we stole roasted duck with our secret sauce from the kitchen..."

Gongsun Ce blushed, "Did you really smell it? It shouldn't be someone from our mansion. If people in the mansion want to seek justice, they can just go to the master directly. Then this man is really... both revenge and food, how I feel How can you be so relaxed?"

It's not just leisurely, it's simply crazy, okay?He went to the kitchen to have a meal, and then put the knife and the copybook back. This behavior was insane. Otherwise, why would Yun Yanhui feel that it was not a redress of justice, but a threat from the underworld.

"What's more, there is a night watchman in our mansion. Although it was not the Zhan guard who was on duty last night, under such circumstances, this person actually entered the kitchen and the mansion's two important places, and no one found out. It shows the skill. Great." Yun Yan touched his chin and said, "Fortunately, he just came to steal food, if he came to kill people, we wouldn't be able to find out if he died."

"Exactly." Gongsun Ce is also deeply worried about this, "but we don't know the origin of this person, we only know the name 'Yan Chasan', since he is defending Yan Chasan, he must have something to do with Yan Chasan. Check Yan Chasan, there may be some clues."

"Then how do you find Yan Chasan?"

"Since he has redressed his grievances, he will definitely appear naturally." Gongsun Ce said with his hands behind his back, "Just wait, you should be able to find out who Yan Chasan is before today. It's just that the guards need to be strictly patrolled in the next few days." Shou."

Yun Yan replied: "Ah, the person who left the knife will not dare to come again?"

Gongsun Ce glanced at him, "One, this man is a lunatic, even if we strictly guard him, he will break in. Two, even if there is nothing else, how can you be sure that this thief will not steal again?"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Well, that makes sense.

……

As Gongsun Ce said, the identity of "Yan Chasan" was revealed in less than a day.

Bao Zheng came back to the yamen after he came down from court, and as soon as he arrived at the door, someone rushed out to call for grievances, claiming to be the boy servant of "Yan Chasan", saying that his master was accused of murder, but in fact he was innocent.

When Bao Zheng heard that it was Yan Chasan's case, he naturally paid attention, took the boy servant back to the mansion for interrogation, and called Gongsun Ce to listen.

Yun Yan Hui listened to the last episode and didn't want to be anticlimactic, so she also followed and hid in the back hall to eavesdrop.

Only then did I know that this boy servant came from Xiangfu County, which is one of the Chi counties below Kaifeng Mansion, and his master went to a relative's home in Xiangfu County. He came to fetch someone and said that his master killed the lady's maid in the mansion, but his master actually admitted it, which made him very puzzled, because they stayed together, and the master obviously didn't kill anyone.

At this time, most of the slaves and maids were employed, and they were free, and they also belonged to good citizens, at least in the legal sense.Even if the parents are in debt and have no money, they have no right to sell their children as slaves, otherwise they will be punished and suppress the production of a large number of slaves. Real slaves have no status.

Because of this, this servant girl who belonged to good people was killed, and the murderer must pay with his life.

However, Bao Zheng just tried the case and sent people to Xiangfu County to fetch him, but he didn't ask about the strong man last night, which made Yun Yanhui even more curious.

Since the two masters and servants are outsiders, they have only one relative in Kaifeng, and they have falsely accused them, so the person who helped them is just a passing food... Ah no, a master?
