The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Song people like to keep pets, otherwise Daxiangguo Temple would not have a special area for selling birds and animals. Needless to say, cats and dogs, fish, birds, turtles and insects are also popular.

Yunyan usually has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have the habit of keeping pets to pass the time, so although he knows that tortoises are a symbol of longevity in ancient times, he doesn't know that there is a kind of green-haired tortoise, which is very valuable.

Some people say that the tortoise grows hair for thousands of years. At that time, people thought that the green-haired tortoise was an auspicious thing, and the fur on the back was emerald green like emerald, which was very ornamental.Therefore, after wild green-haired turtles are caught, they can often be sold at extremely high prices.

As for Yun Yan looking back - this is algae growing on his back!

However, who told it to be valuable, so Yunyan bought back a large tank, put the green fur turtle in it, and transplanted some aquatic plants in it, the more it looked at it, the more it was worth it, and she wanted to hold it up and kiss it.

Zheng Ping couldn't bear to see it, "No matter how valuable it is, it can't be like this?"

"Aniang, you don't understand." Yunyan said with a smile back, "You have to take good care of it, it's Yugui."

Zheng Ping asked, "Don't talk about this, you can visit your master? Didn't you say that the officials will call him into the palace?"

"I asked someone to send a letter to Master, don't worry, the officials are generous, and it's okay to treat the princess." Yun Yan replied.

Renzong really meant what he said, and after a few days, he summoned Qingran into the palace.

Yun Yanhui also applied to follow up, but he was not in the harem, because he entered the palace in the name of reporting, so he is now waiting for the transmission outside the Hall of Renzong.

Because he often comes in to report, has done meritorious service, and is the grandson of the Zheng family, he is familiar to many courtiers.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites who was also waiting came over and said, "I heard that Mr. Xiao Lang got a green turtle in the palace a few days ago?"

Wow, I didn't expect that the cheap thing I saw would spread so quickly?

Yun Yan nodded reservedly.

The servant winked, "Brother likes to keep turtles the most. I heard that the green-haired turtle in the palace has seven or eight inches of fur, and its appearance is very good. I wonder if Mr. Xiaolang is willing to part with it?"

"No, I won't sell it for more money." Yun Yan shook her head again and again.

The servant was very disappointed, but he didn't force it, "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."

Yun Yan smiled back friendly, "Definitely."

Yunyan returned to report to Renzong, and went with him to the Empress Dowager. At this time, she had seen the little princess and was giving Zen lectures to the Empress Dowager. When she saw Renzong, she greeted her.

Renzong hurriedly said no courtesy, and asked him how the result of his pulse was.

Clearly, but the words were shocking, "The little princess has a thin body, which was brought in the womb, and it is really difficult to take care of her. However, Your Highness has a deep connection with Buddhism. If she can enter the Buddhist gate, she will surely prolong her life."

When Renzong heard this, he was not surprised. Because of his weak health, some children were raised in temples.And since he said that his daughter had a deep relationship with Buddhism, he believed it, and he had a very good character.

Hearing that this would help the eighth princess to grow up healthily, Renzong naturally agreed, "Okay, I will make an order in a few days, and ask You Wu to lead her to practice."

Empress Dowager Yang also reminded, "Since this is the case, the officials should remember to keep the title of Young Enlightenment Master and give her the title of princess." The queen mother also loves the princess and reminds the officials. For the eighth princess.

This is a special seal, but it is only natural to put it on the eighth princess. Renzong nodded, "Of course I want it."

Renzong ordered people to draw up an edict, and sure enough, the eighth princess was granted the title of Master Baoci Chongyou, and a temple was built in the palace for her to chant Buddha.

What's exciting is that although the eighth princess does not need to be ordained, she has worshiped Zhao Ran as her refuge teacher, who is going to give her lectures.

A Buddhist disciple may have many teachers in his life, not necessarily all of them are personally taught, such as shaved and shaved masters.Speaking of taking refuge, Yun Yanhui knew that Buddhist temples at that time had websites, and they could take refuge online.

If so, the eighth princess also called her senior brother when she saw Yun Yanhui now!

When Yunyan was called for the first time, she was dizzy.

Oh my god, I've become the princess' senior brother!

In other words, his master is still very powerful. The old monk became the princess's conversion teacher with a few words and a few words. He has a high level of professionalism but is easy to mess with. He is much faster than his disciple.

Seeing Yunyan's boneless appearance, Renzong pointed at him with a smile and said, "You can't shout in vain, you Wu, he has to give a gift."

"Yes, yes." Yun Yan replied that he really didn't take advantage of it for nothing. Although he once called Renzong a buddy, and now he is a generation shorter, he has long been used to the confusion of seniority.

Yunyan drew the blueprints back, and asked someone to make a model of the house, all of which were in pink and tender colors, and decorated the surrounding environment so that it was lifelike, and gave it to the eighth princess to play house.

The eighth princess really loved it so much that she put her puppet inside and played with it every day.

And because Zhao Yunchu also likes to study Buddhism, Renzong also specially called him, and asked him to bring his childhood notes to show the eighth princess.

Zhao Yunchu proposed to get the notes returned by Yunyan, and he told Renzong that Brother Yan learned better than him when he was young.

When Renzong heard this, he didn't expect Yunyan to be so studious before returning, so he asked him to bring his notes too.

It is very strange to take a look.

"I always thought that Yun Yan's calligraphy—not to mention calligraphy—was commonplace, but I didn't expect that you could write like this when you were five or six years old." Although there is a little difference due to different strengths, the overall The handwriting is still the same.

This is something worth pondering, his handwriting is nothing among adults and Song people who are full of talents.However, among young children, it is very good.

"Could it be that it's too young, and it may not be good to be old?" Renzong murmured.

Yun Yan replied: "Uh..."

Zhao Yunchu was very upset about Yun Yan's return, "Officials, Brother Yan just didn't improve after that, and it's not that he couldn't improve, he just didn't want to learn and felt it was unnecessary. Just like he read After two years of reading, he stopped reading because it was enough, so he had to concentrate. With Brother Yan's intelligence, no matter what he does, he will succeed, it's just whether he is willing or not!"

Zhao Yunchu impassionedly refuted Yun Yanhui.

Renzong was speechless for a long time, "You are protecting him. According to what you mean, he really has heaven and earth."

Looking at it again, Yun Yan felt a little embarrassed when she returned to herself.

Zhao Yunchu is worthy of being the No. [-] Yan Chui in Tian Zi, he would blush when he heard this.If he had concentrated on learning how to take the imperial examination, he might have starved to death by now...

However, in Zhao Yunchu's view, this is true.In many cases, people who thought they were great when they were young, they feel nothing when they grow up.Zhao Yunchu returned to Yunyan, but when he thought about it after a long time, he only felt that Yunyan's reply was good, and even more able to taste the strength.

Yun Yan replied: "Ashamed, ashamed... don't let others know, keep a low profile."

Renzong: "..."

Zhao Yunchu: "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

Yun Yan's answer was of course joking, he felt more like standing on the shoulders of giants and shaking his wits.With Zhao Yunchu like this, there is no way to save him.

Renzong shook his head, "Let's go, I don't want to see you."

……

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were kicked out together, and he spread his hands, "It's still early, I won't go back to work, you can accompany me to Daxiangguo Temple, I ordered some things at the temple fair last time, and made an appointment Pick up the goods today."

He was looking for Zhao Yunchu to be a coolie, but Zhao Yunchu was willing to do it.

The two went to Daxiangguo Temple, Yun Yanhui went straight to the pet area, and when they arrived at a stall, the peddler saw Yun Yanhui, said hello, and brought out two buckets.

Zhao Yunchu looked down and saw that there were twenty turtles in two buckets.

The peddler even fished out one for Yunyan to inspect, and it was confirmed to be strong and healthy.

Yun Yan looked back carefully before paying the rest of the money.

Zhao Yunchu also knew that Yun Yanhui had recently acquired a green-haired tortoise, which was kept at home as a treasure, and specially made a tank.Unexpectedly, he ordered [-] more tortoises here, but these [-] were ordinary tortoises, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Yan, did you raise all these by yourself?"

"Yeah, I raise it myself, don't eat it or give it away." Yun Yan replied relaxedly.

Zhao Yunchu opened his mouth, and wondered for a long time before he said: "Did you get the taste out of raising turtles? But, you don't need to raise twenty turtles, right? How much space does it take?"

"You don't know, these are all golden bastards." Yun Yan replied.

Zhao Yunchu: "...Golden King Eight?"

No matter how you look at it, they are all ordinary turtles, the most ordinary kind.

Yunyan glanced back at Zhao Yunchu and looked around. There were many people around, so he leaned forward and whispered into Zhao Yunchu's ear, "I'm going to make a fortune. I'm going to turn all these turtles into green turtles. The first batch..."

Zhao Yunchu's heart was beating very fast, because Yun Yanhui was talking next to his face, but he wanted to pretend nothing had happened.But soon, when Yun Yan's reply was digested by him, he couldn't control his expression, "What?"

Yun Yan raised a finger back, "Hush."

He was a little complacent, and whispered to Zhao Yunchu: "I have already discovered that the hair on the back of this green fur turtle is actually algae. So I plan to raise a batch of green fur turtles artificially. When the time comes, I will tell the public that this is all Is it influenced by the imperial tortoise given by the government... um, or assimilated? Anyway, it just grows green hair. It will only take a few months for the 'hair' to grow well. So, do you think these are golden kings? ?”

With so many tortoises, they would never want any money, but if they were artificially made into green-haired tortoises and sold, their value would increase by a thousand times. This is nothing short of huge profits!This is of course the Golden King Eight!

Zhao Yunchu's eyes widened involuntarily, and he felt that he could hardly breathe... He raised green-haired turtles by himself, and he said that the turtles given by the government made them all grow hair?

He can only say that his Brother Yan is so powerful that he can even come up with such an idea.

And, most importantly, Brother Yan told him without any hesitation.

Zhao Yunchu said foolishly: "Brother Yan, you are really smart."

He really couldn't think of any reason not to like Brother Yan.

"You're welcome, I'll give you one when the time comes." Yun Yan squeezed her eyes back, but couldn't hide her smile.The money is second to none, and it's really exciting to play like this.

If he hadn't found that there was something to do, why would he have put so much thought into raising the green turtle?It would be better if he sold it to cash out!

Hey, Dasong Pet Turtle Market, tremble!
