The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Starting from the second day of Lichun, the Daxiangguo Temple Ice and Snow Temple Fair, which will last for three days, kicked off.

This ice and snow temple fair is different from usual, it is a completely new thing, no one can guess what the effect will be, so it is particularly eye-catching.

Zhao Yunchu originally wanted to go to the appointment happily, but the concubine twisted his ears and refused to let him go first, saying that she and three brothers would also go today, including the family members of his elder brother and second brother, but the prince did not show up.

Zhao Yunchu was not happy anymore, and emphasized: "I have an appointment with Brother Yan..."

"It's just right to make an appointment," the princess was very unhappy, "What are you doing in a hurry? It's not that we don't know Brother Yan. What's wrong with going together, we just met together."

Zhao Yunchu was stunned, two people went to temple fairs for dinner, and a group of people went to temple fairs for dinner, how could it be the same?

But under the oppression of A Niang, he could only stay obediently and wait for them to leave, and watched them move things into the car without any hassle. He was very anxious, just going to Daxiangguo Temple. There are so many things.

After finally getting ready, Zhao Yunchu jumped into the car and ordered the driver to drive faster.

The princess knocked on his head once, "It's icy and snowy, don't be impatient."

He also told the driver to be safe, so he slowed down a bit.

The Ice and Snow Temple Fair also limited the number of visitors, because the experience of the food festival told them that it would be terrible not to limit the number of people.But the concubine and the others are definitely not included in the restrictions, and they won't be unable to enter the venue if they go late.

As soon as you enter the Daxiangguo Temple, you can feel the theme of this temple fair. Ice sculptures rise from the ground and stand everywhere in the temple.The big ones are like houses, or in the shape of a Buddha, or a slide for people to play with.The small ones are like slaps, staying in a small corner, there are Buddhist symbols such as lotus flowers, and small animals such as cats and dogs. If you find them inadvertently, you will be surprised.

Some are independent, such as a dragon girl chanting scriptures quietly in front of the temple, and are integrated with the buildings in the temple.There are also group portraits, such as the ice sculptures of the Eighteen Arhats, lined up in a row, with a huge momentum.

These ice sculptures are based on the original buildings, and they are located in a very designed way, which is very ingenious, not to mention that their carving skills are extremely superb and lifelike.

The more distinctive ones are the ice lanterns sold today.

The exquisitely shaped ice lanterns are hollowed out and filled with candles. Some of them seem to have added paint when they were being made, so they have various colors.Such lamps and lanterns are really cold like water, like frost in the moon.

In fact, according to the original idea, it will be held at night, just like the Lantern Festival, and those ice sculptures will also be lit up.

It's just that the preparation time this year is really not enough, and the training time for the craftsmen alone is very tight.Simply, it is better to leave it for the next year's research.At that time, larger ice sculptures can also be made, such as ice buildings such as entire gardens and palaces.

Ever since the princess stepped into the Daxiangguo Temple, she was amazed again and again, "It really took a lot of thought. Look at this Bingguanyin statue, with a kind face and a lifelike face. It's really amazing."

The sons and daughters-in-law also echoed and praised.

Zhao Yunchu looked left and right in the crowd, absent-minded.There is a main stage here, and there will be performances at that time. He made an appointment with Brother Yan and met near the main stage, but he didn't seem to see Brother Yan for a while.

The main stage was also built of ice, with a carpet on it, and ice-carved rocks on both sides. At this time, there were only a few young monks on it.

Zhao Yunchu's sister-in-law said with a smile: "Mother, you should let the little brother go to find brother Yan. I'm really afraid that if he is so absent-minded, what will happen if he falls."

The princess glanced at Zhao Yunchu, "Hmph, go, remember to call Brother Yan when you find it."

Zhao Yunchu responded and hurried to the main stage.

At this time, Yunyan was sitting behind the main stage, talking to Zhou Shuiniang about the precautions for the performance later.Although Zhou Shuiniang is very valuable now and it is not easy to perform, but based on their relationship, it is still easy to invite her to perform.

Yun Yanhui sat down on the ground unruly, and Shui Niang was embarrassed to stand and look down, and she didn't sit down like him, so she had to squat aside in a graceful posture as much as possible.

Seeing Zhao Yunchu coming, Shuiniang stood up with the help of the ice beside her, "Uncle Yan, then I'll go first."

Yun Yan finished speaking back here, and waved her hand, "Okay."

Zhao Yunchu happened to come to the side, and met Shuiniang, after the two saluted, Shuiniang turned and left, Zhao Yunchu helped Yunyan back up, "Why are you sitting on the ground, it's so cold."

"It's not cold, I'm dressed thickly." Yun Yan's hand was still on his arm, "By the way, I've made arrangements to go to my house for lunch, but it's just the two of us, it's not too lively."

He has always felt that eating hot pot still requires a large number of people to have an atmosphere, but it is a pity that today the monks here are all sticking to their posts, and his family is all in the old house.

Zhao Yunchu said sadly: "My aunt and brothers and sisters-in-law are also here..."

"Then let's eat together," Yun Yan looked back at him, "Why do you look so sad?"

Zhao Yunchu sniffed, "It's nothing."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yanhui went to meet the princess with him, the princess was chatting with some acquaintance ladies who happened to meet, saw them coming, and said hello to Yun Yanhui.

Yunyan invited the princess to eat the Boxia offering together, and the princess said with regret, "I just agreed, and go to eat vegetarian food with them. How about it, you juniors go eat."

"Well, I'll treat you and the prince to dinner next time." Yun Yan looked back, and Zhao Yunchu's brothers and sisters-in-law would be fine.

Because the concubine wanted to go to the temple fair with other officials and wives, she dismissed the juniors, and Yunyan led them to look at the ice sculptures in Daxiangguo Temple.He participated in the whole process of designing these ice sculptures, so he was familiar with it, and told the origin of each ice sculpture, as well as the stories behind the production.

With Yun Yanhui's eloquence, he naturally spoke in a dazzling manner and listened with gusto.

"Look at this ice sculpture, everyone. This is Yaksha from the Eight Dragons. Look at his face. Isn't it beautiful? In fact, there are two images of Yaksha in Buddhist scriptures, one is ugly and the other is beautiful. The craftsman In order to attract more female tourists and some male tourists with special hobbies, the latter is probably adopted..."

After Yunyan replied, all the Zhao family members laughed, especially when they saw Zhao Yundi laughing loudly, after all, he belonged to that group of male tourists with special hobbies.It's just that, smiling and laughing, they feel that something is wrong, why is there still an echo?

Looking back, it turned out that many people behind him also laughed...

"..."

Yun Yan was also speechless when he returned. No wonder he felt more and more crowded. Did everyone act as his tour guide? After a quick look, he followed at least dozens of people.

Because today the Daxiangguo Temple is crowded with people and the personnel are densely distributed, so there were many strangers in the past. When Yunyan spoke back, they all heard them.

As soon as I heard it, I couldn't help but slow down and follow them, so as to listen to this little brother's explanation.

This is much better than the monks specially sent by Daxiangguo Temple to stand next to the ice sculptures to explain!

Yun Yan looked back at these people, and these people also looked back at him shyly.

What can I do about this? It's just a commentary, but you can still drive people away?

Yun Yanhui was not so stingy... just felt a little weird, so he cleared his throat and continued, "Look at the next one, Naga..."

So, Yunyan came back here and formed a "tourist group" organization, but it was much easier to lead than a tourist group. The tourist group was worried that people would not keep up, but these people would follow him wherever he went. There, the number of people is increasing.

Later, Yun Yanhui had to raise the volume so that the people behind could hear clearly.

At noon, it was already time for dinner, Yun Yan drank his saliva and said loudly: "Everyone, I'll be here first, I'm going to eat!"

All the tourists responded in disappointment, thanked him for his selfless dedication, and then dispersed.

Yun Yan said to the rest of the people that she really wanted to entertain: "Then go to my house now, I have prepared meals over there."

However, except for Zhao Yunchu, everyone else expressed that they have other dishes that they really want to try, so let's forget about it today.

Yun Yan thought it was strange, before he said there was a new dish, these people rushed to try it, is this a sex change?

But he can't press the cow's head if the cow doesn't drink water, so he can only watch everyone disperse.

Zhao Yunchu thanked the third brother in his heart.

Because there were so many people before, Brother Yan didn't notice, he was walking a little depressed, Zhao Yundi came over, put his shoulders on his back, and whispered: "Little brother, do you think we are redundant?"

Zhao Yunchu: "No, no."

"What are you stuttering about without you?" Zhao Yundi looked at him, "Don't regret it, I'll give you a chance, if you admit that you are interested in Brother Yan, the third brother will help you, help your brothers and sisters-in-law to eat elsewhere, and stay How are you two getting along?"

Zhao Yunchu: "!!!"

Zhao Yunchu hesitated for a long time, wondering whether he should admit it or not, could the third brother be playing tricks on him?Suddenly seeing Zhao Yundi's weird smile, he suddenly realized that he was indeed being tricked. Just his reaction, did he need to admit it verbally?

Zhao Yunchu said angrily: "Third brother, you are not a good person."

Zhao Yundi patted him on the shoulder, laughing until tears came out, "Hahahaha, don't worry, even if you say that I am not a good person, I will help you, after all, you just admitted it."

……

Yun Yan took Zhao Yunchu back to his family's house in Daxiangguo Temple, first went to the fence in the yard, and hugged Yun Beibei.

He didn't come back for a long time because of work, but this time he came to live a few days earlier for the Ice and Snow Temple Fair. When Yun Beibei saw him, he hugged him and refused to let him go.He himself misses Beibei very much, so he plays with Beibei for a while when he is at home.

Zhao Yunchu also stood outside and said hello to Yun Beibei, but he didn't dare to go in. It was difficult for everyone except Yun Yanhui to get out if they hugged him. It would take a long time for Yun Yanhui to return to himself.That's all when I was young, but now Beibei is really too fat...

Nowadays, Yun Beibei is like a tyrant in Daxiangguo Temple. Xiaobao who lives here often takes it out for a walk. Which monk has never been hugged by him to ask for something to eat, otherwise he will not let it go.

However, Xiaobao often went to Qingran, and let him bask in the sun in the yard.This fat man is basking in the sun with his belly shy, his posture is different from the one he had when he was holding Brother Yan as a child.

In this way, people who want to find out will inevitably be harassed, which has become a regular scene in Daxiangguo Temple.

Where did Yun Yan know, now some people are rumoring that this is a figure that resembles the master, so he comforted Bei Bei, then went into the house to light a fire and heat up the hot pot.

He had prepared the bottom of the pot a long time ago, and the pot was a mandarin duck pot specially ordered by the craftsman, and each side had a different taste.

"Look, this is called mandarin duck pot, and we can eat one side alone." Yun Yanhui felt that she was very considerate, and introduced to Zhao Yunchu, "I prepared a lot of dishes, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, beef..."

In the beginning, Boxiagong was just blanching rabbit meat, but what Yun Yanhui made was actually a full-fledged hot pot, which can be used for anything.

But Zhao Yunchu couldn't listen to Yunyan's introduction later, and only the words "Mandarin Duck Pot" came to mind.

Mandarin duck pot, mandarin duck!Mandarin duck! !

Looking at Brother Yan's normal appearance, he doesn't seem to be implying anything, but Zhao Yunchu still can't help thinking about it.

Yuanyang, give me your side and mine...

Just when Zhao Yunchu was dreaming, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Wait a moment." Yun Yan replied and went to open the door.

From where Zhao Yunchu was standing, he couldn't see who was outside the door, so he saw Yunyan froze after opening the door, then turned his head and said helplessly: "Maybe we need to add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."

Zhao Yunchu said nervously: "No! I don't want to eat with others!"

It is indeed a bit reckless, but this is a mandarin duck pot, so it's better for him and Brother Yan to eat it?

At this time, a handsome middle-aged man walked in, stood by the door with Yun Yanhui, pointed at him, "Niezi, am I someone else?"

Zhao Yunchu: "..."

Zhao Yunchu cried, "Father, why are you here..."

Today everyone came to Daxiangguo Temple together, but his father didn't show up, but now he suddenly appeared.He can drive others away rudely, but can he also drive his father away?

At this time, another young man appeared at the door, with a handsome face and an overpowering aura. He walked in between Zhao Yuanyan and Yun Yanhui who were standing there, and said with a slight smile, "I shouldn't be considered someone else."

"..." Zhao Yunchu wanted to cry even more, "Officer, official..."
