[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

It was night, and Xia Anran, who asked Kaifeng Mansion to borrow Zhan Zhao, was staying in the house obediently.

Now there is only one Xia Duoduo by his side. In order to give Yu Tianbao a chance, he ran to the garden and waited in the middle of the night.

Because of the cold weather, he also hugged a charcoal basin.

Waiting and waiting, he thought that it would be a disadvantage if Yu Tianbao really didn't come, so he blinked, and took out a bunch of things from the kitchen, with the charcoal basin, he sat upwind and started to warm the fire.

He ordered barbed wire before, and now he holds the sliced ​​pork on the grill with tongs, not to mention how beautiful it is.He waited for a while while warming the fire, feeling that there was no tendency for people to come, so he simply roasted the meat first and fed it to a few small animals who sat around at some time.

The little leopard is a pure carnivore, but it is a cat's tongue, since it is a cat's tongue, it cannot be eaten hot.

The meat placed on its small plate is always let this one pick it up immediately, and then spits out the hot meat, and then licks it with its small tongue after a while, until the meat is cold enough to eat. The temperature of the entrance is eaten in one bite.

Don't mention how pitiful this looks!

Fortunately, the weather is cool, and the food cools down quickly. Basically, it can be eaten when it reaches the second round of licking its paws.

It's just that such efficiency brings a huge disadvantage, that is - the meat on its plate is always stolen.

That's right, Gou Da Gou Er always steals the meat from the little leopard's plate when the little leopard turns its head to lick the meat, which makes the relationship between the brothers very tense for a while.

Xia Anran really wants to admire the little animals who start to slap me and kick you while they are eating in the past few winters!He silently put the rest of the roasted meat on his plate, put a piece of steamed bun on top of the railway, and spread out the charcoal on the bottom, let the small fire simmer one side of the steamed bun.

The steamed buns that can be baked in this way are fragrant and crispy. The trick is to sprinkle some honey on the steamed buns when they are barely burnt... Hey, when it comes to honey, he doesn't seem to have any.

Xia Anran stood up and was about to get honey juice, but just as he moved, he found a gust of wind behind him, and then he was touched, but Xia Anran felt unable to move.

He—he was being acupunctured!

Fortunately, such black technology as acupuncture can't control facial expressions, Xia Anran's eyes widened in a little excitement, if the people behind him saw his expression, they probably wouldn't be able to speak in their heavy voice now.

"I know you don't want to see me."

"It's just that I want to see you..."

Xia Anran shuddered inexplicably, he suddenly felt that his actions this time might be completely wrong!

Fortunately, after a while, Yu Tianbao said again, "I have some problems, which cannot be solved by the prince. I can't bear to think about them day and night."

Xia Anran didn't answer, Yu Tianbao naturally didn't care about his silence, rather, his attitude reassured him. "To tell you the truth, my lord, I inquired after I went back... I found out that my lord has lost his memory."

Xia Anran's eyelashes trembled suddenly.

He secretly calculated in his mind how many people knew about his amnesia, and by the way, he complained about the difficulty of keeping secrets in this martial arts world full of various loopholes. He didn't know that his silence was for Yu Tianbao What does it mean, Yu Tianbao couldn't wait for his response for a long time, so he actually laughed.

Xia Anran heard rustling sounds approaching from behind, and then someone walked past him lightly and stood in front of him.

He was facing a metal mask.

Xia Anran was a little surprised, he couldn't figure out why Yu Tianbao still wore a mask and acted like he wanted to hide it, knowing that he had already recognized the identity of the person he disguised.

Seeing Xia Anran's gaze fell on his mask, Yu Tianbao smiled, "Are you wondering why I wear a mask?"

He naturally didn't get Xia Anran's answer, and Yu Tianbao didn't care, he touched his cheek, "Do you know how I was punished after I was brought back?"

The young man who couldn't move was stunned because the person in front of him took off his mask in front of him. Under the mask was his familiar face, but his forehead and cheeks were tattooed with Yu Tianbao's name respectively.

At this time, these wounds seem to have not healed, or it may be because Yu Tianbao had to open these wounds time and time again. The three characters [Yu Tianbao] on the handsome face under the mask were hideous wounds. With Yu Tianbao's smiling expression, there were bloodshot eyes Oozing, "ugly?"

Yu Tianbao touched his face, his pupils were always fixed in Xia Anran's eyes, there was surprise, shock, and disapproval when he saw those familiar almond eyes, but there was no trace of the past at all. Not even a hint of intimacy, not to mention a hint of positive emotion.

Confused, he took two steps forward and brought his face close to the immobile Xia Anran. Seeing that the person showed obvious resistance to his approach, he was able to confirm the matter—"You really don't remember me gone."

Yu Tianbao lowered his eyes, and the face of the man under the moonlight was somewhat lonely and aggrieved. He pursed his lips, slowly put on the mask again, and when he spoke again, his tone had returned to normal, "Since you If you don’t remember anything, then you are not you anymore.”

"So……"

He paused, "Prince Pingnan, are you interested in discussing a business?"

"Hi, I'm also in business."

"..." Xia Anran finally spoke, he looked directly at the man who had recovered his weapons, and suddenly smiled, "Is this how you treat your partner?"

"I'm sorry."

Yu Tianbao was about to step up to relieve Xia Anran's acupoints, but his movements stopped, and after a while, he laughed softly, "I forgot...you are no longer what you used to be."

"Why... You even guessed that I would come to you today?"

Behind him, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao stood with swords in their hands, one red and one white. Yu Tianbao didn't look back, he saw the people behind him through Xia Anran's pupils.

He didn't act rashly, but continued to smile and said, "Let me guess... It's Zhan Weiwei, and Bai Sanshao? Hehe... It's really a blessing to see two natural enemies, a mouse and a cat, working together. "

"The kung fu of showing the arrow in the sleeve is the best in the world, but you don't want to try it. Is your sleeve arrow faster or my dagger?"

When he said this, he stepped on his foot, and with a sharp turn, he clamped Xia Anran in his arms. The cold blade pressed against Xia Anran's neck, and the latter felt embarrassed. Frankly speaking, he really didn't I thought about being restrained.

It's not out of self-confidence, but... Cough, he is a person who has been in the orthodox official world for many years... No matter what, his previous world would not have such a state of rising to low-level personal attacks, Without him, shame.

It was indeed his lack of preparation for the martial arts world.Xia Anran sighed, "Guard Zhan, step back."

"So relieved of me?" Yu Tianbao leaned into Xia Anran's ear and said, "Little prince, where did you get the confidence...I really won't hurt you?"

"Just because I am the only person in this world who can help you achieve your ambitions."

Xia Anran said calmly, "If you hurt me, you will have no chance to gain a foothold in Da Song, and if you lose Da Song, your goal will never be achieved."

"... Oh? Then the little prince might as well tell me, what is my purpose?"

"Yu Luocha." Xia Anran said without hesitation, "You want him, right?"

...Although it is true, but I always feel that there is something strange, Yu Tianbao was silent for a while, and then added with difficulty, "I want his life."

Xia Anran smiled, "Relieve the acupoints for me, you are not in a good position to talk about it."

When the two sat down, it was already half a cup of tea, Xia Anran sat firmly in front of Yu Tianbao, he slowly moved his somewhat sore wrists and ankles, Yu Tianbao had already taken off his mask at this time , the two sat in front of the lamp, and the lamp in Xia Anran's house was naturally made of glass and a brass magnified lampshade. Under such bright light, the wound on his face was even more terrifying.

Xia Anran hesitated for a while, and finally sighed, took out the wound medicine that Bai Jinxi had prepared at home and put it on the table, "Take a look, which ones can be used?"

Yu Tianbao glanced at this box of equipment that shouldn't appear in a prince's house, and snorted, "No need, it can't be cured."

Seeing the doubts on Xia Anran's face, he pointed indifferently at the two young men guarding the hall on the left and right, "If you don't believe me, ask them, there are medicines that can heal the wounds caused by Rakshasa poison. "

Hearing this, Bai Yutang raised one eyebrow, he scrutinized Yu Tianbao's face carefully, and smiled, "It's really a great effort..."

"Who said it wasn't?" Yu Tianbao touched his face, "Fortunately, the young master was prepared, otherwise he would really be trapped to death in this blow."

Seeing Xia Anran's expression of complete incomprehension, Zhan Zhao carefully explained to him, "The Rakshasa poison is a unique poison of the Rakshasa sect. The wound is stained with the Rakshasa poison, and the blood bleeds profusely."

You know, a toxin that destroys the blood's ability to clot.

There is such a poison?Is it a neurotoxin?

Xia Anran's eyes lit up immediately, and after looking at Yu Tianbao's face, he found that the words on his face were oozing blood, but the amount of blood oozing was obviously within the acceptable range of the human body, that is to say, Yu Tianbao Tianbao has a particularly effective hemostatic medicine in his hand, so he can restrain this poison that can become a signature poison of the Demon Cult.

Xia Anran was very interested in this.

Facing his shining eyes, Yu Tianbao was stunned for a moment, and the stern look between his brows seemed to be softened a bit, "What do you want to ask?"

Xia Anran pursed her lips, showing a shy posture, and softly asked, "Is your hemostatic medicine expensive?"

Yu Tianbao almost laughed out of anger, he snorted and turned his head away, "Naturally, do you think the medicine taught by Luo Sha is so easy to dissolve?"

Xia Anran rubbed her chin, and then asked, "Do you have any precious medicinal materials over there?" Seeing Yu Tianbao's strange face, Xia Anran smiled and said, "You must have something that can impress me when you trade with me, right?"

In the end, Xia Anran and Yu Tianbao negotiated the first deal with [-] cows and a few scraps of medicinal materials as the price.

Yu Tianbao wanted to be a leading party. To put it simply, he thought that the Song Dynasty would act as a spy in exchange for the Song Dynasty's army to kill Yu Luocha as an army.

Xia Anran didn't know how much hatred this father and son had. She came here deliberately to scoop him up, but after bringing him back, she tattooed on his face.

In the Song Dynasty, tattoos were actually very popular, but the premise was not on the face.

Tattoos on the body can still be said to be a personal fashion, but on the face it is a different situation. One is that people in the army show their determination, and some troops have the habit of tattooing on the face, and the other is impalement.

As its representative, it is Di Qing. Di Qing was stabbed back then, but even so, there is a difference between a big stab and a small stab, and this kind of stabbing can still be washed away.Back then, Di Qing's superiors offered to wash away the traces on his face, but he refused. The marks on Song's face were nothing more than traces of ink seeping into the wound, but the ones on Yutianbao's face should have been made with a sharp weapon. A scar that is cut open and then repeatedly left between healing and tearing, this kind of scar has basically no possibility of healing to leave no trace.

Xia Anran suddenly thought of Yu Tianbao's disguised person whom he saw a few days ago... He frowned, "Your face is in such a condition... you even put a disguise on your face?"

Yu Tianbao smiled, "Between life and face, I choose the former."

... So what happened to make this person who had just been rescued come back to Da Song?You know, strictly speaking, Zhao Zhen did not actually pardon Yu Tianbao's crime.

If he was arrested again in Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen might not release him again.

Although Xia Anran felt that he was not a gossip person, he was really curious.

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

He convinced himself repeatedly in his heart, and finally suppressed the little commotion in his heart.

Yu Tianbao's needs are the same as Zhao Zhen's needs. Yu Luocha's elusiveness has undoubtedly become a thorn in the emperor's heart. Xia Anran can guarantee that if it is on the way and the consumption is not large, Zhao Zhen's favor will Will not refuse.

What's more, these cows are just a deposit, a stepping stone, Xia Anran is only responsible for making connections, not for persuading the emperor to agree to this matter, he won't lose any money.

Of course, the cow's money still has to be given.

He would want Yu Tianbao to buy cattle for him... Although Xia Anran kept saying that it was for satisfying his greed, it was really not.

Frankly speaking, he is not sure whether Yu Tianbao will bring him a bull or a cow. It should be easier to carry a cow. Nowadays, the blockade of animals in various places is basically controlled by male livestock, and it doesn't matter as for the female.

Just like when Da Song exported dolphins, there were basically only one or two boars out of a hundred, and the rest were all sows. This was to prevent the gene of this breed from being stolen, and to prevent others from obtaining this gene, and then breeding them wantonly. encroach on this market.

But don't think this is a trivial matter.

In real life, Australia has bred Australian Wagyu cattle by stealing Japanese Wagyu embryos and semen, and hit the Japanese Wagyu market in a big way. Until now, some people have tried to steal Japanese Wagyu semen for breeding.

In this world, scarcity is always the most expensive thing. If you want to lower the value of affairs, you must increase production, and the same is true for livestock trade.

But for Xia Anran, no matter whether it is a bull or a cow, he is useful.

He remembered that there was a kind of cattle in Gansu called Anxi cattle. It was a very good draft cattle with a docile personality. Hybridization with local cattle breeds can optimize the genes of local livestock.

If the bull is the best, the cow is no problem, or the cow is more useful to him at present.

Because Xia Anran finally remembered something that had been stuck in his mind for a long time in the past few days, and that was milk powder.

China is the first country to invent milk powder. As early as the Yuan Dynasty, Genghis Khan’s army relied on milk powder to conquer the vast desert and ice and snow.

The protein and mineral content of milk powder is very high, whether it is traveling through the desert or in cold areas, it can quickly provide energy to the human body, and at critical moments, milk powder can be eaten dry, which is both full and nutritious, except that it is prone to constipation There is nothing wrong with it other than getting angry.

Provided, of course, that you are not lactose intolerant.

Although the Han people seem not to be accustomed to eating dairy products, they are still very reliable as a substitute for military rations.Especially for Song people who cannot adapt to the cold in the north, it is very necessary to store this kind of food that can provide high energy in winter.

It's just that the production of milk powder is like a catapult, which must be hidden and tucked in.If these things flow to the Liao country, they will only be more useful than them.

Unless you have the ability to kill with one blow...you can't take it out.

Xia Anran sighed slightly.

There is still a lot to do.

he thinks.

Don't worry, you have to go step by step.

As long as he does everything he can, someone will put it all in the most suitable place.

The next day Xia Anran went into the palace to meet the emperor.

He clearly told Zhao Zhen about the matter between himself and Yu Tianbao. When he heard that Yu Tianbao dared to enter the territory of the Song Dynasty, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. The expression on the face is a little faint.

Facing his dear brother, Zhao Zhen didn't wipe his face, but said calmly, "I know, let's talk about it after he brings the things over."

Zhao Zhen's attitude was within Xia Anran's expectations, and he knew very well that Zhao Zhen was actually waiting for Bai Jinxi's return.

He was waiting for Bai Jinxi's investigation results.

It is very likely that Zhao Zhen still does not believe in a small country until now, and dares to play the way of combining vertical and horizontal in front of him. After all, Dangxiang is a vassal state of Song Dynasty. If they really have such ambitions, that is why they were at that time After the founding of Xixia, the reason why this benevolent emperor did not hesitate to send a large army to attack.

It's because this kind of behavior is really too unkind.

After finishing the topic, he mentioned the letter Liu Niang sent back. Zhao Zhen was very interested in it. After all, when he said that Liu Niang had arrived in the Northwest Military Region, Zhao Zhen suddenly revealed The look of suddenly remembering something.The point is, he also looked at Xia Anran.

His expression made Xia Anran have a bad premonition. Sure enough, the emperor told him that because on the day of Bingxi, the women in the harem became curious about this play, so they wanted to watch it in the palace. Watching this drama, Zhao Zhen naturally agreed to the harmless request of the elders without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, Xia Anran's expression was a bit indescribable, if he hadn't forced himself to restrain himself, he might immediately show a speechless face.

Xia Anran knows that the officials have always been very concerned about this drama, and even ran out of the palace to watch it during the rehearsal. Of course, Xia Anran can understand the kind of emperor: I have the first work in my life, and I want to share it with my family. Mood.

But when he thought back to the cheating ending of this plot, he glanced at Zhao Zhen suspiciously, thinking that his imperial brother would show his mothers a play, so he really wouldn't attract a lot of big surprises to him. trouble?

But after thinking about it, Xia Anran felt that these things had nothing to do with him, Zhao Zhen probably wouldn't confess himself.

He confirmed this with Zhao Zhen, and his imperial brother said sincerely: Of course not, he just told the imperial ladies that this is a short folk show.

After all, if Xia Anran was confessed, then the identity of the emperor as an insider is worth exploring. After discussion, the two evil-hearted children of the royal family unanimously decided: if it is really necessary, give Liu Sanbian to the confession. go out.

That's right, it's that heartless.

Just after the first month, Liu Sanbian started to leave Beijing. Liu Sanbian, who had successfully done his face recognition, was sent to Luoyang. Although he only started as a small official, Luoyang was also a companion capital anyway, and the quality of life and environment were really not bad.

Liu Yong was very satisfied with this.

Soon, people in the capital found that the popular "Love Letter" was suddenly taken off the shelves overnight.

And there has been no recovery trend for a long time, which is unreasonable!

Usually when a play is rehearsed, unless it is everyone's play, it will be performed for a limited time and for a limited time. If it is a small troupe, it will probably be performed until everyone gets tired of watching it. Now that the shows are full, there is a tendency to get tired of watching it!

Besides, now that a large number of people are pouring into Bianjing, isn't it a good time to seize the market?Why is it suddenly no longer available?

The majority of Bianjing people panicked for a while. They were not afraid of what the theater did. After all, it was a cash cow that was visible to the naked eye. What they were afraid of was that some nobleman would buy the theater. I can't watch the show!

The crowd worked together and worked hard to find out, and finally got the answer by beating around the bush - the opera troupe is about to enter the palace for rehearsal!

Speaking of which, I have never heard that the official family likes to watch operas before. After inquiring again, the truth surfaced. It turned out that it was the result of the ice play that day. The official family wanted to meet the requirements of the empress dowagers and concubines.The folk gesture of repeatedly asking and asking was naturally spread to the palace, and naturally there were also letters of advice accompanying it.

Regarding the point of "taking away people's favor", the officials gave "gentle" advice.

In particular, the voice of the people is the loudest, and he must remember to release the troupe after watching the play.Zhao Zhen felt dumbfounded. On the one hand, he felt that his character as an emperor had been tested. On the other hand, he was happy that this play was planned by him.The feeling at this time can barely be called the two heavens of ice and fire.

He can only express in the repeated temptations of the officials that he will release the troupe when he finishes watching it, really, really really.

It's more real than my name, okay?

In fact, Zhao Zhen has seen countless rehearsals, but to be honest, he really hasn't seen the effect after setting up the stage.

Lighting and choreography are the soul of this play.Because of the rehearsal of this play, a lot of projection plays, puppet shows, and ventriloquist skills were used.So compared to the other dramas that can be performed as long as people are dressed in costumes, this little drama needs to be specially set up for him.

Out of selfishness, Zhao Zhen agreed to this request almost without hesitation.

In order to ensure the best performance, they specially set the time to watch the show at dusk.

Under the hints of everyone, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to invite his beloved courtiers, the families and clans of the beloved courtiers. Anyway, there was a lot of movement in the end, and it became a family carnival event.

With such a huge momentum, it would be a waste to just watch a small play of less than 30 minutes. Therefore, this time, the performance in the palace is actually a nearly two-hour play that has never been staged in front of everyone since the rehearsal of the show. .

There were some twists and turns in the birth process of the big drama. When Xia Anran didn't notice it, because Liu Sanbian and Zhao Zhen, the two literati, had too much brains and added too much private information when writing the script, so in the Finally another inflated version emerged.

The description is more delicate, and there are more changes. Zhao Zhen also contributed a few arias in it. If you want to watch it, of course you have to watch the best one.

For his hard work, Zhao Zhen is very persistent.

Although a small drama can make a blockbuster, but to stay for a long time in the eyes of fickleness and love the new and dislike the old, you need to rely on big dramas.

But these, Xia Anran, who doesn't care about the art of the ancients, doesn't know.

So when he learned that Zhao Zhen invited him to watch the play, he still felt a little disapproving, and when it was staged, he was completely dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhen is very clear about the purpose of Xia Anran's play and his personal bias.The young emperor and Xia Anran have the same goal in this regard, so when writing a big drama.He also stuffed a lot of private goods, and added a lot of military camp life with reference to the plot of Mulan joining the army.

Colleagues who were just passers-by A, B, and C in the small drama also had their own names and personalities in the big drama, so they were even more shocked when the entire army was wiped out in the end.

After all, the feeling of seeing the death of a cannon fodder character is different from seeing the death of a supporting character. The latter makes them want to send the author a blade, but the former does not.

On the one hand, Xia Anran admired his cousin's generosity, but on the other hand, he only felt the chill behind his back rising little by little.

But he moved his buttocks on the seat, and still watched from his best angle of view.

Today's opera lyrics and tunes have not yet formed a system.It is closer to folk daily sayings. This kind of opera mode does not require a certain appreciation ability. If you have to say it, it may be more like a modern song and dance drama. The audience is naturally larger, and it is easier to watch.

Seeing the sweet love affair in the first half, Xia Anran still had the time to think about these things, but waited until the second half.He was completely brought into the plot.

He is obviously the original author, but he obviously thinks why this drama is so miserable?

Was he so cruel when he wrote it?No, he thinks his writing is very refreshing.

Fortunately, he was sitting on the side of the male guests. If he was on the side of the sentimental female relatives, even he would probably have a pang of conscience... Just as he was thinking this way, Xia Anran's sensitive movements suddenly caught him on the side. There was a lot of heavy breathing.

He silently looked over, the other side, basically, are generals.

The kind with five big and three thick arms that can run horses and have abdominal muscles that can farm.

Xia Anran: ...um...

The author has something to say: Xia Miao: (with a deep face) I really didn’t expect it, I thought I was wearing Chaotang Wen, but I didn’t expect that I was wearing a martial arts, and martial arts are also martial arts, how dangerous it is to use swords and guns every now and then !I have to think of a way...

Good cat, what kind of abuse do you think you write.

If you wrote it, you wrote it. Why did you find two big names in the literary world to correct your typos?

If it is changed, it will be changed, but there is no supervision.

Gee tut.

(Dumbledore shaking his head.jpg)

Milk powder was really invented in China first. The earliest method should be the same as the method of boiling salt.

In fact, milk powder is really not too fishy when eaten dry. The author ate it when he was traveling in Tibet. Although I don’t know if the milk powder has any additives, it is not too fishy, ​​and I think the buttered tea in Tibet is quite delicious ( Smashing it, smashing it mouth) It’s a bit like milk tea sprinkled with salt, it’s the taste of rock salt cheese milk tea that was still popular for a while.

I'm just curious about how they don't burn. I boiled them with milk... In fact, they are still easy to burn. Could it be that the last step is to dry them in the sun? (touches chin) It's a pity that the weather in Shanghai is not very good recently, so I can't let me try it... Cough, anyway, I always have a chance to experiment.

In ancient times, the import and export of animals were mainly females. In modern times, meat is basically traded. It is very expensive to import males.

Australian Wagyu did steal the Japanese Wagyu.

Some time ago, someone was caught stealing Japanese Wagyu sperm.

In short, there are battlefields in every field...

Think beef again! !
