The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Zhao Yunchu was beaten with his eyes closed, but the pain didn't come, but he heard the third brother screaming again and again, he opened his eyes to look, and saw A Niang slapping Zhao Yundi hard while crying.

Zhao Yundi screamed with his head in his arms. It's not that he couldn't avoid it, but in the past when the princess beat him, she always beat him while scolding. He had never cried so sadly like now.

Zhao Yundi had never seen his mother like this before, so she didn't dare to hide like before, but she was still very wronged after being beaten, "What did you beat me for!"

The concubine grabbed Zhao Yundi's ear with one hand, "Tell me, did you bring brother Chu into trouble? He was very cute since he was a child. If it weren't for you, he, how could he..."

"How wronged I am!" Zhao Yundi also cried, he was really wronged, this matter was simply too wronged.This is the first time that Zhao Yundi regretted his extravagant thoughts, otherwise how could he be blamed for such a scapegoat.

The princess was crying like rain, and the servants came to hear the sound, but when they saw the princess beating Zhao Yundi, they didn't dare to go forward to persuade her.

It's normal for the empress to beat Saburo, and it's useless to persuade him.

But to everyone's surprise, after the princess beat Zhao Yundi, she also attacked Zhao Yunchu.

There are four young gentlemen in the mansion, one is sick and two are ridiculous, only Shiro can make the prince and princess happy.I was spoiled and spoiled since I was a child, let alone beating, I can't bear to scold the key points.

I don't know what happened to make the princess so angry that she even started crying.Someone felt that something was wrong and hurriedly invited the prince to come.

After Zhao Yuanyan came, what he saw was the princess tearing at Zhao Yunchu, but Zhao Yunchu didn't say a word, and suffered in silence.

Zhao Yundi stood aside, not knowing what to do.

Zhao Yuanyan frowned, stepped forward and held Wang Hao's hand, "I just want to go to Guizhou, and you also know that he is on good terms with Brother Yan, at worst, send some people to escort him, so that he can feel at ease, why bother?"

When the princess heard Yun Yan's name, her body trembled, and she gave Zhao Yuanyan a hard look, telling him that he was baffled.

The concubine knew the advantages and disadvantages, restrained her grief, and ordered her confidants to drive out the others and guard the yard.

Zhao Yuanyan felt a little strange seeing her go to war, but he also guessed that the princess was not angry because Zhao Yunchu was going to Guizhou.

Even so, Zhao Yuanyan never expected what the princess would say next.

The princess wiped her tears and repeated Zhao Yunchu's words one by one.

Zhao Yuanyan was so shocked that he almost suspected that the princess was teasing him.There were rumors about the relationship between Zhao Yunchu and Yun Yanhui, but they were all treated as a joke and no one believed it.If it wasn't for Zhao Yunchu who didn't make excuses, he would have felt that the princess was cheated by some illegal tabloid.

Zhao Yuanyan and Wang Hao have always liked Yun Yanhui, so it is even more unbelievable. The first sentence he said was even: "You are messing around, is Zhufeng also messing around with you?!"

What Zhao Yunchu said was different from the folk bonded brothers, he explained the relationship like parents.

Brother Yan was sensible early and acted safely, Zhao Yuanyan could hardly believe that Brother Yan would accompany Zhao Yunchu to do such absurd things.

Zhao Yunchu said in a low voice: "Father, Aunt, we are not fooling around."

"Isn't it nonsense?" Wang Hao has calmed down, and asked forcefully, "Ms. Zheng must still be in the dark about this matter. Our family is fine. Have you ever thought that Brother Yan is the only child in the family? Chu'er, Brother Yan I am also a person who understands the general situation, and I have been dependent on his mother for many years, what does Mrs. Zheng say, can he resist?"

Zhao Yundi listened beside him, secretly speechless.He felt that the fourth brother was crazy, why should he confess to his parents, this kind of thing should be kept secret to the end.It's all right now, A Niang hits the point in every sentence.

The concubine's reason was so good that Zhao Yunchu was confused when he heard it.

Yeah?Brother Yan who is far away in Guizhou, if he comes back and confesses to Mrs. Zheng, will he abandon me for his mother?

The concubine continued: "You are still young, and you still have a chance to turn around. I hit you just now, because Auntie was too impulsive! You go back to your room to study, and I will ask your father to send the soldiers to Guizhou, how about it?"

After Zhao Yunchu was in a daze for a moment, he became firm again, "Mother, Brother Yan won't lie to me."

The concubine almost fainted. She usually felt that her son's tenacity and solid eyes were an advantage, but now she didn't like it no matter how she looked at it.

"You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" The princess gasped, "Don't even think about going out, when you think about it, let's talk!"

……

It was obviously an ordinary day, but it felt like a holiday in Liao Village.

Many Liao people gathered around the front of the leader's house, drooling as they watched Yunyan cook the mutton.

There are two stoves in Qianping. On one side, there is a large iron pot with lamb chops braised in it, and on the other side, there are roasted lamb legs, which are exuding a charming aroma.

To be very sincere, no one in the whole village thought that mutton can taste like this!

All of them gathered around spontaneously, making friends with this cat person.

Yun Yan lifted the lid of the iron pot beside it, and the smell of stewed mutton permeated, which was different from the roasted leg of lamb.White radish was also put in this pot to stew together. At this time, the mutton and radish were already rotten.

Yunyan replied: "Well, it seems that the onions are still a little less, who still has onions?"

The leader didn't provide him with many seasonings at all, but it doesn't matter, he can crowdfund it.

After someone translates his words, it is better to have the conditions immediately, or people who have robbed a lot of things say they have them at home, and then quickly go back to get them.

Yun Yanhui slowly sprinkled the pepper on the roasted leg of lamb, and it immediately smelled delicious, and then he cut off a small piece of meat and tasted it.All eyes followed the meat to his face, seeing him bite open the crispy and tender mutton, the fat sizzled, and they all swallowed.

"That's right, it's done." Yun Yanhui dragged a pottery pot provided by the masses, and sliced ​​mutton into it until the bones were clean and there was no trace of meat left.

"Okay, you can eat, these are yours." As soon as Yunyan finished saying this, the bureaucrats rushed up and snatched them desperately.

Don't say that this meat doesn't cost money, just because of the taste, they are willing to exchange eggs from home.

And the leader had already gnawed on a whole leg of lamb.While eating with relish, but not too happy at the same time, the cat man had a good time.

While everyone was scrambling for the roasted lamb leg, after the stewed lamb was finished, Yunyan went back to the bamboo house with the pot.

Zhou Huilin sat on the straw mat, already holding a small bowl in his hand.

Yunyan scooped out the stewed mutton with a spoon, put it into Zhou Huilin's bowl, added a few pieces of radish, and said calmly, "Eat slowly."

Zhou Huilin stuffed the mutton into his mouth. There was no smell of mutton. It was so fresh that it was stewed so soft that even the fleshy skin still had a little bit of chewiness. You can tell how delicious it is at a glance.

Zhou Huilin almost swallowed his own tongue, and the hot mutton soup in his stomach was nothing.

Then he moved in a pile of clean straw from outside the door.When he was roasting mutton, he asked the Liao people for it. Fortunately, the leader guarded against him and put a person who could understand Miao language by his side, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

Yunyan told Zhou Huilin to sit back, and then carefully laid out the straw and adjusted it to be even, then put the straw mat on it, tried to lie down for a while, and nodded with satisfaction.

The rest of the straw was piled together, looking like a big pillow. Zhou Huilin leaned on it, it was okay, the shape was piled up very well, and his back was supported.

Zhou Huilin ate with his left hand. He felt that although he was kidnapped, he was doing well. He didn't know how Yun Yanhui told people that the Liaoren was willing to kill a sheep when he didn't see a penny. they eat.

Is Yun Yanhui too good at talking nonsense, or is Liaoren too naive?

"Don't eat too fast." Yunyan looked back at Zhou Huilin's wolfing down, and stopped him. After going out for a while, he got two multigrain pancakes and a small bowl from nowhere, one pancake for each of them, with mutton on it. Soup is delicious.

The pancakes were not very well made and were still a bit hard, but after being softened by the hot mutton soup, they had a unique flavor and filled the stomach.

Yun Yanhui also opened the small bowl that was left.

Zhou Huilin didn't pay attention, thinking it was something good, looked inside, and was almost terrified, "...what the hell! Gu raising you!"

There turned out to be a bowl of worms in there, which made Zhou Huilin's scalp tingle.

Yunyan replied: "What kind of Gu, it's dead, there's nothing to eat in the backcountry, if there are many bugs, I eat bugs, I'm afraid it won't taste good, so I even sprinkled some pepper, it should be better..."

"Nonsense, no one eats bugs!" Zhou Huilin began to wonder if Yun Yanhui really raised Gu, and there was no one to eat in the backcountry, and someone gave him mutton and pancakes casually?Was this damned by Yun Yan?

"Why not, rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, regardless of snakes, insects, rats and ants, you can eat anything that can move. Crunchy..." The protein is X times that of pork, Yun Yan replied, "The poor man next door doesn't even have to eat insects Woolen cloth."

Yun Yan said that those who were taken captive together with them, including those who were originally with them, were still under guard.Even if they are tied up, for the purpose of poverty and defense, they are only fed once a day and have to work.

Thinking of it, Zhou Huilin felt more and more happy.

Of course, eating bugs is not happiness.

Yunyan went back to taste the bugs one by one. The main problem was that the taste was uneven, some were okay, while others were astringent.After eating a few, I gave up and used it as a snack.

Zhou Huilin: "You, you really eat... Aren't you afraid of bugs!"

"It's all cooked, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Are you afraid of a live bear, or you can eat it as a dish?" Yunyan replied with a reason that made Zhou Huilin dizzy but was hard to refute.

Yun Yan said again: "When I was barbecued outside just now, I saw someone brought back a pheasant. Look, I'll get you some for lunch tomorrow..."

Zhou Huilin was sweating profusely, he really didn't treat himself as an outsider.

……

On the other hand, the people sent by the leader also set off for Guizhou.

This person took the token from Yun Yanhui, begged to see Shi Meilan, and also sent a "letter for help" written by Yun Yanhui himself.

Shi Meilan saw that the person claimed to be the Miao people under her rule, and he was moved by the friendship between the two parties, and hoped that she would help, but the incident written was clearly done by Yun Yanhui.

Shi Meilan was very vigilant, and said calmly: "This little bastard, I told you to go back to the mountain early, where did you 'save' him?"

The messenger smiled: "In the post station in Yizhou, he is with his brother-in-law. I heard that they are doing business for you." Then you can't just ignore it, right?

Shi Meilan calculated the distance in her mind, and naturally she knew it, her face darkened.

Seeing that her expression was not good, the messenger immediately worried that she would lose everything.

Fortunately, Shi Meilan pondered for a moment and said: "Shi Shan is my confidant, wait a moment, rest for a while, I will order someone to prepare."

The messenger was overjoyed, but Shi Meilan did not expect Shi Meilan to agree so easily.

Shi Meilan said that she "ordered people to prepare", but in fact she ordered with a cold face, "All hands are ready. Also, bring all the poisons."
