The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 203 The Strongest Gatekeeper

Because of the busy schedule for Pu Guanze's opening, and the hot weather, Yun Yan announced back, "I'm going to take a break!"

Clap clap, applause sounded.

Zheng Ping was very proud, "It should be, Brother Yan has been tired recently."

Pu Guan Zefei made Renzong a profit both inside and outside, and Zheng Ping was also very happy.Nowadays, "Looking for Love Fish" and its leading actors are very popular in Bianjing. Zheng Ping likes to watch it, and many of her acquaintances also like to watch it.

However, it was only because of her son's face that she was able to go backstage and have close contact with the leading actors.Even if they are invited to the house, although they do not accept the performance, they are guests in their personal capacity, so there is another way of saying it.

Shuangyi also said: "Yes, Brother Yan has worked hard, take a good rest, and go out to play."

However, in fact, Yunyan's rest was different from what they thought.

On the second day, everyone found that Yun Yanhui still went out during normal working hours, and even put on the official uniform of Kaifeng Mansion, so they couldn't help asking, "Brother Yan, what are you doing here?"

"I'm going to the government office." Yun Yan replied inexplicably, "It's almost time."

Shuangyi braced her face, "What, didn't you say you wanted to rest yesterday?"

"I'm taking a break," Yun Yan replied, "Your understanding seems to be a bit wrong. My rest is different from what you think of being paralyzed at home. I'm going to work in the mansion as a rest."

Shuangyi: "..."

Yun Yan went back to adjust her official uniform, "Look, I specially applied for a temporary job transfer, and I will guard the gate."

Shuangyi: "..."

Have a good rest!Shuangyi complained in her heart that no one could save Brother Yan, "Then you go."

Yunyan went to work happily.

Although the demolition office is still under the name of Kaifeng Mansion, his work always goes out and he doesn't stay here much.

However, everyone saw that he was still so enthusiastic.

After all, Brother Yan is still from Kaifeng Mansion, there is no doubt about it - after the opening of Pu Guanze, he gave away tickets to the whole mansion.

How can there be any yamen in Bianjing that can have this benefit? It is still sent from Futai to the small yamen servants, just like their public chefs, only one portion.

Yunyan wanted to rest, but didn't want to get rusty, so she chose to change jobs and stay for a while.He went to the classroom and greeted F4, Five Rats, Zhan Zhao and others in Kaifeng Mansion first.

"Hey, have you all gone to Puguanze to play? Have you gone?" Yun Yan asked one by one with a smile.

"How could I not go!"

"That is, other people can't buy tickets if they want to go, but we have ready-made tickets here."

"I heard that someone sold the tickets... But we are absolutely reluctant."

"I went," Bai Yutang said arrogantly, "I saw you, but you didn't see me."

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "It's obvious that you see him so busy, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Bai Yutang glared at him, as if saying "troublesome".

Yun Yan smiled secretly, "Stop talking, I'm going to work, I've applied to guard the door temporarily, so I can relax."

Everyone expressed their incomprehension one after another, did you relax enough to be a doorman?Generally speaking, being demoted is to guard the gate. I have never seen anyone guarding the gate as soon as they have made great achievements.

Yun Yan replied, "Actually, Mr. Gongsun suggested this to me."

Gongsun Ce said that before Yunyan went back, he had to focus on logistics, and he didn't know much about prisons, military affairs, etc. If he wanted to change jobs, if he didn't dislike the bad sound, he was actually quite good at guarding the gate.

When everyone heard that it was Gongsun Ce who said it, they immediately fell silent.Gongsun Ce's suggestion is definitely not to harm Yunyan's return, and naturally he has deep intentions.

"Look what's wrong with the gate, it's good to see the gate." Yun Yan said back, took some fruit and went to the gate, greeted several other gatekeepers, and gave them some to eat.

It is divided into the main shift and the auxiliary shift. Those who are on the regular shift need to stay at the door, and the auxiliary shift is resting in the gatehouse on standby, and they will switch between them at intervals.

Because Bao Zheng opened the back door to the people who complained, the place is not as lively as before. Of course, that is only relative.As a gatekeeper, your duty is to guard the gate, check the identity of the visitors, pass on famous posts and so on.

The doorman and Yunyan complained back, "You don't know, it's too difficult for us! Since the Futai took office, those who wanted to sue the people for their money have all been driven away. We are here as errands. The rest is angry."

Yun Yan nodded back, "Yeah, it's not easy, why not patrol the streets."

"But someone has to come and see this gate, right?" The gatekeeper said depressedly, "I want to do well, but there is no way. Others say that we don't need to bother to guard the gate, especially now that the mansion is well treated, God If you are hot, send mung bean soup to relieve the heat, and if it is cold, you will still have gloves."

"However, it's not that simple. There are all kinds of people who come here. There are people from the county government and Xiangfang below who come to deal with affairs, people from other government departments who come to make trouble, and those noble people who come to make trouble and make money. I'm most afraid of the latter kind... once the news is passed, most of the mansions will disappear, so we have to stop them—can we stop them? One or two are people we can't afford to mess with. When we encounter bad temper Yes, no matter how hard you say it, you won’t believe it no matter how you lie, and you can force your way in. If this is the case, it’s our dereliction of duty again.”

"We don't want to dereliction of duty, but what do we dare to do?"

Although the gatekeepers have prepared weapons, can they really use knives to kill people?Besides, anyone who dares to go inside is either a lunatic or a high-ranking official, and it is impossible for them to be afraid of being hacked by them.

It's all kinds of prevarication, flexible to let the other party leave, if they insist on forcing in, it's beyond their control, and they will probably have to dispatch a large force.

The door clerk complained full of grievances, and finally concluded: "Anyway, here we just have to talk to people and talk nonsense. No one will praise you if you do a good job, and you will be unlucky if you do it badly. It is thankless."

Yun Yan sighed back, "It's not easy anywhere."

He seemed to understand why Gongsun Ce suggested him to come here.

Next, when he was on errand with several door officials, Yun Yanhui also witnessed what they meant by talking to people and talking nonsense.

Their memory is very good. If they have been here before, they can call out their names immediately. It is best to talk and laugh to get the procedure down.

Generally, when someone comes, they can immediately judge the person's general identity from the clothing, expression, etc., and after a few words, they can feel the context, and their attitude will be different accordingly.

When Yun Yan came back, she saw that when they faced the kind of braggarts who wanted to get in, they also bragged, saying that they were relatives of a judge in the same government office, which made the other party speechless.

And those who waited for other yamen to come and talk, they dragged it slowly.

Yun Yan realized deeply that it is not easy to be a door official who needs to be sharp-eyed and quick-witted.He thought it was quite interesting, so he started to study with peace of mind.

Because Yun Yanhui is not an aborigine after all, some concepts have not penetrated into his heart, so he sees people differently from these aborigines.Listening to them analyze how to observe visitors is quite insightful.

After the shift, Yun Yan sat in the porter's room to eat fruit, and chatted with the doorman who was with him.

Another gatekeeper suddenly pricked up his ears, listening to the sound outside, and said firmly: "This is a big man coming."

Yun Yan looked back at him and didn't stick his head out, just listened to it and said curiously: "How do you say?"

The gatekeeper said: "Listen to the car driving outside. It is a horse, and the sound is a tall horse. The driver is not the owner himself, but an experienced coachman. You can tell by his yelling. This horse is not rented. Yes, it was raised by their family... It's either rich or expensive."

This is equivalent to having a private car and a driver, Yun Yan thinks about it too.The two probed to have a look, and sure enough, they saw a group of people coming, the leader was dressed luxuriously, with an arrogant look on his brows.This is not only a rich man, but also a rich man with his eyes above his head.

The gatekeepers on duty all complained inwardly, this man was very arrogant, he didn't stop, he just rushed in, they could only stop him in front, asking him to say what he wanted, if there was a name card, they could pass it on.

The man glanced at them, and even hesitated to speak.

The entourage next to him reprimanded him on his behalf: "The little doorman dares to stop us officials? Get out of the way, we are going in to find Bao Zheng!"

Yun Yan raised her eyebrows back, and exchanged a glance with her colleague.

Who the hell is this? It's very arrogant.

Now in Beijing, there are not many people who dare to be so arrogant to Bao Zheng.Anyone with eyes can see that Renzong trained Bao Zheng as a prime minister.

Those gatekeepers stood guard, softly begging them to obey the rules.

As soon as the colleagues patted Yunyan back, the gatekeepers of their class also hurried out and went to guard the gate together.

Seeing their begging, but actually there were people with weapons coming out to reinforce them, the attendant was furious, "Don't you want to live? Do you know who our officials are? Xuanhuishi, Heyang Tongjuan, The uncle of the noble concubine!"

——The first two titles are nothing, they are nothing in the capital, but when it comes to the uncle of the imperial concubine, everyone trembles.

Yunyan thought back, hey, is this an acquaintance?The so-called noble concubine is naturally only Zhang Guifei.

This noble concubine's uncle is the head of their family. Under Zhang Guifei's care, his official career is very prosperous. Before that, he had been fish and meat people in Heyang...ah no, he was a general judge.

It's just that Yun Yanhui didn't pay attention to political affairs. I don't know why he returned to Beijing. Now is not the time to report on his work, and he came to find Bao Zheng aggressively.

Someone quietly whispered back to Yunyan, "I know, I joined this person in the palace a while ago!"

Yun Yan blinked back, and then he was sent back to Beijing?It seems that this general judgment should not be able to go on, and he was so arrogant to come to Kaifeng Mansion to find fault after being imprisoned.

These gatekeepers were about to be unable to stop them, but Yun Yanhui pulled out the knife.

There was a loud bang, which made everyone's movements pause.

Concubine Zhang Guifei's uncle, Zhang Yaozuo, saw Yun Yan return to this action, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

The entourage shouted: "That boy, do you dare to try?"

Yun Yan pulled back a smile, looked around at the gatekeepers beside her, and said: "Unless you call without appointment, you are not allowed to enter Kaifeng Mansion, if you move again, I will not only touch you, but also chop you up. "

Seeing Yun Yan's meaningful eyes, the other door officials all came to their senses, and they all showed their weapons.

——As I said before, although there is such a rule, they dare not do it.However, now it is Yun Yanhui who has come up with this, and the other party is the Zhang family who Yun Yanhui has messed with before. What else do they have to worry about?

It has to be said that Yun Yanhui is simply the best candidate, who can be a door official without being afraid of the identity of the comer.

Don't say he dared to use the knife, even if he didn't use the knife, he just went to stop him, and no one would dare to push him.If he lay down on the spot and touched porcelain, who would afford it?

The entourage took a step back, and said with a white face: "You are a small door official, dare to use weapons against the emperor's relatives? You don't want to die!"

Yunyan smiled back coldly, "It's the one named Zhao, I've done it too, and the one named Zhang...how old is it?"

He didn't care to explain, who did the "doing"...

Just such a sentence almost made Zhang Yaofeng's nose crooked, and he couldn't pretend anymore.

——Although Concubine Zhang is not as favored as before, some habits of her family have been deeply ingrained, especially Zhang Yaozuo is still out of town, so she doesn't feel much, "Extremely arrogant! I will discipline Bao Zheng today!"

Yunyan interrupted him back, "Oh, it seems that the surname is Zhang, I did it too, broke his leg and went back to his hometown."

Zhang Yaozuo's expression froze, looking very ridiculous.Even if he is out of town, he has already learned about his nephew's current situation from letters.

Then, there is no need to ask who is this person in front of you.
