The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Yun Yanhui and his group were taken to a bamboo building. The Miao people did not dare to follow in, so they continued to watch outside.

Although there are some differences in the Hmong language in different places, it is generally understandable. Yun Yanhui is much calmer than other people.He looked at the furnishings in the house and found it quite new.

Probably in recent years, the trade with the Han people has increased, so some living objects with obvious Han style can also be seen here.

After a short wait, the first female chieftain in history appeared.

This female chieftain is wearing Miao costumes, and her painting style is not as tough as everyone imagined. Her eyebrows are curved and slender, and her eyes are like water, but she is as gentle as Zheng Ping.

Her Chinese name is Shi Meilan, she is about 33 or [-] years old, and she looks younger than her actual age.

This female chieftain has been practicing the etiquette of the Han family. She already has a good appearance, and her Chinese is passable, but she still doesn't know the complicated official titles of the court. Facing the three leaders, Yun Yanhui, Zhou Huilin, and Wang Taiyi, Together they are called "Xianggong".

Zhou Huilin was very dark, and hurriedly said: "I dare not do it. I am at the end of my official position, and I can't afford the word 'Xianggong' of chieftain."

Shi Meilan showed a confused expression. Back then, the government sent a sinology teacher to accompany the little tiger to give him lessons. In order to better communicate with the government, Shi Meilan also learned some Han culture.She knew that Xianggong was a high official, and she also knew that people should be called respectfully, so why are these people so embarrassed?

Shi Meilan thought about it carefully, maybe she was being modest, and said that she was very humble, and the habits of the Han people were like this, so she said: "Why can't you afford it, you can afford it, it's amazing."

Zhou Huilin: "..."

Zhou Huilin was so uncomfortable being praised by this half-level chieftain, it didn't seem like he was being praised, it was clearly piercing his heart.Although the scope of the term "Xianggong" is wider than before, it is not limited to the prime minister, but it will not be so wide that it includes several of them, and the heads of the second government and the third department are not mixed up and called "Xianggong" Didn't it make people laugh?

But Zhou Huilin didn't know how to explain it, and felt very embarrassed, so he looked at Yun Yanhui for help.

Yun Yanhui thought it was funny, what detours did she make with Shi Meilan, even if she explained it, she might not understand it, so she just bypassed it and said: "You can call his official position, Commander Zhou. This is Wang Taiji, as for I... you can call me word by word."

Shi Meilan had noticed his appearance just now. She had known that her son had a similar appearance to a benefactor, and she knew a lot about it. Although she had never seen him before, she recognized him as soon as she saw him. She was also willing to be more intimate, so she nodded happily .

Yun Yan went back and announced Renzong's oral order, mainly to say that some medicinal materials were given, and the imperial physician was ordered to accompany her, so that Shi Meilan was relieved and comforted.Shi Meilan then bowed in the direction of the imperial capital and thanked her.

After the etiquette procedures were over, Shi Meilan took Yun Yanhui's hand and looked carefully, "When I see you, it's like seeing my little tiger in the future. I used to say how similar you are, I was a little skeptical, It’s only now that I truly believe that there are such wonderful things in the world.”

Yun Yanhui has been surprised for countless times, he and the little tiger look like six or seven points, especially when he was a child.Now Yunyan saw that Shi Meilan was somewhat similar to Zheng Ping, besides feeling a little closer in her heart, she also became curious about the little tiger's father.

"Yes, this is fate. The little tiger and I are brothers now." Yunyan replied, "He just ran to visit his father eagerly. I don't know how his uncle is now, and whether our imperial doctor can help him. Treat it?"

When mentioning the little tiger's father, Shi Meilan's face was a little pale, and she said with a little melancholy: "Actually, it's the same whether you get a diagnosis or not."

The few people present who didn't know the inside story were all surprised by her attitude.

"how do I say this?"

It is said that Shi Meilan's husband, Shi Tian, ​​is a son-in-law. It stands to reason that his family should have chosen him out of thousands of thousands, so the relationship should not be so weak, right?

Shi Meilan said earnestly: "The miasma in him is not difficult to solve, but I did it a few times, but it didn't relieve it. This means that the gods are going to take him away, so I called the tiger back to see him again."

Hearing this explanation, everyone couldn't help looking at Doctor Wang.

Doctor Wang, who was listening carefully, showed an indescribable expression, probably cursing in his heart, but he still maintained his demeanor and said, "Let the old man take a look, maybe there is a way?"

Doctor Wang did not agree that some gods wanted to take away patients. He recognized some Miao witchcraft methods, which worked, but he felt that Shi Meilan just failed to determine the correct cause of the disease.There are many diseases in this world. The symptoms are similar, but the treatment methods are different. If you admit it wrong, you will naturally not be able to cure it.

……

On the other side, the little tiger was lying beside his father's bed, trying to talk to his father, but his father closed his eyes weakly, unable to speak, no matter how much he shouted, he couldn't respond.

The waiter asked the little tiger to talk more, and his father could hear him.

The little tiger talked a lot, and at the end he didn't know what to say, so he said that his life in Tokyo and the officials were very kind to him, and this time he asked Brother Yan to send him back.

Shi Shan's eyelids moved, and he opened his eyes with difficulty, revealing complex emotions in his eyes.

But the little tiger happily held his hand, "Daddy, you're awake."

Shi Shan gently touched the little tiger's hand, "Tiger..."

The little tiger put his face on his hand, eyes streaming down, "Daddy, get well soon, okay? I won't go to Tokyo anymore, I'll stay with you in the village."

At this time, Shi Meilan brought several guests to the door. She lifted the curtain and told them in Miao language that the guests from Tokyo came to visit the patient.

Shi Shan's body trembled and he turned to hide, but his weakness for many days made him unable to move, and his eyes couldn't help turning to the door.

Behind Shi Meilan, the first person to come in was a young man in his early twenties. He had a handsome face and clear eyes. Not only was he similar to the little tiger, but he could also see a somewhat different shadow that shocked Shi Shan.

Shi Shan coughed violently, and fell on the edge of the bed.

Physician Wang stepped forward quickly, grasping Shi Shan's veins with one hand, and skillfully rubbed his back a few times with the other. Only then did Shi Shan's cough subside.

Under such circumstances, Yun Yanhui also took a few steps forward with concern. He stood beside the bed, looking at the little tiger's thin father and the little tiger with red eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.Birth, old age, sickness and death cannot escape.

As for the little tiger's father, even though his face was so thin that his face was out of shape, Yun Yanhui could still tell that the little tiger's resemblance to him probably came from his father.

After appeasing Shi Shan, Doctor Wang began to examine the pulse carefully.

Shi Shan half leaned against the head of the bed, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, then raised his head suddenly, just in time to meet Yun Yanhui's eyes, and quickly retracted them.

Doctor Wang's face was serious, and after taking the pulse, he said, "I'll give you a prescription to try."

At the scene, only the little tiger was full of hope, "Father, you have to take the medicine obediently, and you will be fine after taking the medicine. I got sick in Tokyo, and I was fine after taking the medicine."

Shi Shan nodded slightly.

Yunyan looked back and saw something was wrong, and followed Taiyi Wang outside to see him prescribe a prescription, but did not notice that Shi Shan's eyes were fixed on her.

Except for the little tiger, everyone followed to the outside room. Physician Wang told them in a low voice: "The patient is indeed... incurable. I can only use some precious medicinal materials to see if I can hang him for a few more days." He couldn't bear it, but he continued, "This person has the will to die, that's why he can't afford to get sick, and now he is terminally ill."

Shi Meilan didn't understand very well, she was confused for a moment, and then said: "I just said, it's the gods who want to take him away, alas."

But those who understand, after thinking about it, feel that the cause of the disease is a family affair, so they don't comment aloud.

Doctor Wang wrote down the prescription, and said while writing: "There are some medicines that are not available, but you should be able to pick them on the mountain."

Although Shi Meilan had accepted her fate, but knowing that she could hang her life for a few more days, she still seriously communicated with Doctor Wang, and said that she would take him to see it in person.

"Auntie, let's go first, we're right here." Yun Yan saw that Shi Meilan was a little worried, and said proactively.

"Okay." Shi Meilan ordered someone to accompany them, and they must meet any requirements before leaving.

The accompanying guards were too large and did not enter the house for fear of crowding. The rest of Yun Yanhui and Zhou Huilin were relatively silent. After a long while, Zhou Huilin sighed softly: "Poor Shi Gaobi."

Yun Yan returned to silence for a moment, and said, "Little Tiger is inside alone, I'll go and see him."

Yunyan got up, went into the room, saw Shi Shan closed his eyes, and the little tiger and his servants were sitting beside him, so he tiptoed over, "Little tiger, is your father asleep?"

No, as soon as he spoke, Shi Shan tilted his head and opened his eyes.

Yun Yan apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle, to bother you."

Shi Shan lowered his eyes and shook his head.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat stagnant, and Shi Shan suddenly said to the little tiger: "Daddy wants to drink chicken soup, tiger, you can go find someone and watch them cook chicken soup for daddy, okay?"

The little tiger nodded immediately, "Father, I'll go right away!" After saying that, he ran out.

Shi Shan said to the servant again: "You follow him."

The servant looked at him in bewilderment, as if he didn't know whether to obey or not.

"I'm here to watch." Yun Yan felt something was wrong in her heart, and said proactively.

Hearing this, the servant felt relieved and left.

If Yun Yanhui still doesn't notice that something is wrong with Shi Shan, then he is blind.Not only did he notice it, but he immediately started to associate it.But the more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes, almost hard to face.

He is as smart as his mother.Shi Shan thought in his heart.

After a long time, Yun Yan frowned and said, "You are not dead."

"I'm about to die," Shi Shan said pleadingly, "he's already dead too, right?"

"You" and "he" both refer to Yunda. Yun Yanhui didn't think about that, but it doesn't mean he couldn't think of it. After he realized that Shi Shan's behavior was wrong, he almost immediately confirmed that Shi Shan died many years ago. The dead Yun Dalang is his "father".

Although there are many similar people in this world, but in terms of this degree of similarity, this reason is more convincing than fate.

Yun Yanhui didn't know what happened in these years to make Shi Shan, or Yun Da become like this, suddenly became seriously ill some time ago?Even denying his own existence?

However, because this person was basically a stranger to him, the first thing in his mind was more about Zheng Ping, and he imagined countless possibilities in an instant.

After a while, Yun Yan asked back, "What do you mean?"

Yun Yan recalled that the information he had obtained so far was not enough, and Shi Shan had a strange attitude, so the atmosphere was very abnormal on such an occasion of mutual recognition by blood.

Seeing Yun Yan turning back to him, instantly alert and subconsciously on guard, Yun Da smiled wryly in his heart.

In the past few months, he has suffered a lot in his heart, so he also hopes that he can only bear it by himself.It's just that he wanted to end it silently, but he never thought that he would see Yunyan back.

After making up his mind, Yun Da looked a little dazed, raised his head and said, "Your name is...Yan Hui?"

"Then please take a letter home for him."
