The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Soon it was early summer, and Shuangyi's manor in Puguanze began to harvest the first batch of fruits and vegetables.Her family built houses on those good fields, and hired reliable tenants to cultivate them, and the price was very generous.Thinking that the weather is good, I can go to live for a while and enjoy the joy of the countryside.

Yunyan went back to Puguanze with her family to play, and played in the manor by the way.

Apart from Zheng Ping and his wife, Shuang Yi and his wife, and Little Tiger, Yun Yan only brought Zhao Yunchu with him when he returned.No one else was puzzled at all, but Shen Kuo was a little suspicious looking at this staffing.

Shuang Yi only said that he thought too much, Zheng Ling and Zhao Yunchu often participated in any activities their family held since they were young, and this time Zheng Ling would also come, but he just came two days late because he had something to do.

Shen Kuo wondered if Zheng Ling and Zhao Yunchu were the same, Zheng Ling was still a cousin after all, but he didn't seem interested in Shuang Yi, so he didn't continue talking.

Knowing that the owner's family was coming, the head of the village selected from the tenants cleaned up the house in advance. When it was built, it took into account that there were many relatives and friends in the house, so the room was very spacious.

The manor is surrounded by walls, and there is also a logo of Tao Zhiyao at the gate. After entering, there is an extremely long corridor full of melons and vines.

Melon vines climbed the entire corridor along the shelves one by one, decorating it in green, and occasionally light yellow flowers, more large and small loofahs.

Through the gaps between melon vines and melon leaves, you can see rows of fruits and vegetables planted in the fields on both sides, which is fresh and pleasant.

As soon as you enter the door, you can feel that this place is full of pastoral atmosphere and full of unique fun, which is not elegant.

Shuang Yixi said: "The last time I came here, it was just a bare frame, but now it has grown, it really looks good."

"I've been planting crops for so many years, and it's the first time I've discovered that I can grow melons like this." Zhuangtou exclaimed, "At first you said you wanted to build a corridor, but I was still thinking, wouldn't it be nondescript to do this in the field? ? This one is really good, it’s pretty and solid, how about picking a few to make loofah scrambled eggs at noon?”

"That's right." Shuangyi smiled back at Yunyan, without saying anything.

Yunyan hugged the little tiger all the time on the way back, so she was a little tired. Now she changed hands to Zhao Yunchu. In order to make the little tiger willing, Zhao Yunchu put him on his shoulders to "ride a high horse".

Because Zhao Yunchu was already tall, the little tiger was riding on his shoulders, happily passing the loofah corridor, turning his head to avoid the long hanging loofahs, or stretching out his hands to fiddle with the melon leaves.

When the luggage was being put away, the little tiger naturally wanted to sleep in the same room with Yun Yan, so that it was convenient to take care of him, but none of his guards came with him.

With so many rooms, Zhao Yunchu couldn't have the cheek to squeeze with them, so he had to live nearby.

At noon, I had a simple meal of local vegetables. The vegetables are all ready-made. The place is near the water source, and the vegetables grown here are very sweet.Because the little tiger hadn't been to Puguanze yet, Yunyan took him to Puguanze Youyuan to have fun first.

Most of the staff in the garden are familiar to Yun Yanhui, Yun Yanhui put the little tiger in the children's paradise, and wanted to find Kong Ji.

There was no performance in the afternoon, and Kong Ji was preparing his new Three Kingdoms play.

Although there is no Yun Yan to be the art director this time, Kong Ji has learned a lot, attaches great importance to costume props, and is asking artists to try on armor.Seeing Yunyan came back, Kong Ji excitedly asked someone to sing two verses for Yunyan to listen to.

Yun Yan stroked her palm back and said: "The aftermath of "Looking for Love Fish" has not subsided, and "Three Kingdoms" is coming out again, which is also very popular."

Kong Ji wished Yun Yan could listen to the complete script, and then showed him the script he had revised. The script was all handwritten, and it was painstaking.

After the two chatted for a while, Yunyan replied that there was still a child waiting for her at home, so she went to watch the show with her family and went to find the little tiger.

When I searched in the Children's Paradise, the little tiger was sitting on a chair playing jigsaw puzzles, surrounded by three children who didn't dare to get too close to him, and just talked to him from time to time. Unfortunately, the little tiger was very indifferent.

Yun Yan walked back to him, and when the little tiger saw him, his expression changed, he smiled, and came to hold his hand, "Brother Yan, let's go ride the slide together."

"Wait," Yunyan looked back at those children, feeling a little familiar, as if she had seen them before when she went to pick up the little tiger, "These are your classmates, don't you want to introduce them to brother?"

The little tiger lowered his head depressedly, and after a while he reluctantly said: "This is Qiu Dafu... and his younger brother and cousin... are also our classmates."

They are all classmates, so I only remember one name?Yun Yan was a little speechless.

After Yun Yan taught the little tiger, he stopped beating others, but he couldn't greet people with a smile like Yun Yanhui for a while. Fortunately, it was said that other students worshiped the little tiger even more...

Qiu Dafu was one of them. He and his younger brothers greeted the classmate's brother politely, and even offered to go to the slide together.

Yunyan naturally said that he brought the children to play together, and after asking, he also knew that Qiu Dafu's family also came to Puguanze for vacation, and they lived in the hotel in Youyuan.The hotels in this scenic area are much more expensive than the B&Bs, and generally the consumption is from wealthy families.

Qiu Dafu invited the little tiger and his brother to live together in their residence, the little tiger said very disdainfully: "I won't go, we live in my sister's house."

"We live in the nearby Zhuangzi, which is also very interesting. We grow a lot of fruits, and you can come and play." Yun Yan replied with a smile, "If you don't have time, next time we meet, I will ask Little Tiger to bring you some food. .”

Qiu Dafu nodded shyly, "Then I'll also bring you the cakes made by my mother."

After leaving Youyuan, Yun Yanhui was still talking to the little tiger, "The students in the Qiu family are so polite, especially Dafu, you have to be gentle with them."

The little tiger said confidently: "So many classmates treat me like this, I want to be gentle one by one, how tired I am!"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Little Tiger: "I'm worried, everyone pesters me! I also laugh like my brother, but I get tired of laughing after a while, so now I smile at people for a certain period of time every day!"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

When Yunyan heard the little tiger's arrangements for her, she was a little messy.But since his classmates didn't know why, they still liked it, so Yun Yanhui couldn't persuade him.

……

When we returned to the manor, everyone was sitting around the root carving table, admiring the newly picked melons and apples in the basket.

Why use the word "appreciation"?Because these melons turned out to be naive dolls, and the apples have natural words, such as "Fu", "Lu", "Shou", "Xi" and so on.

Seeing Yunyan returning, Zheng Ping held up a melon in her hand, "Brother Yan, I thought that the 'ginseng fruit' you mentioned was at most just a doll, but who knew it would be so delicate?"

Zhuangtou also praised Big Kuat, and he has been planting for so many years, and he has never seen such a method.He couldn't be more satisfied with his master's family. With such a means, let them know how much trust this is, not to mention how generous the treatment is.

Shuang Yi also said: "Seeing such a little doll, I really can't bear to eat it."

Yun Yan didn't have so many obstacles when he returned, so he broke open a melon and took a bite, "Well, it's not bad, it's very sweet, and it's grown really well... This is a melon grown in a mold, and the ginseng fruit will deceive customers. Don't be fooled yourself."

Zheng Ping was speechless for a while, "Cheat..."

"Okay, let me be more reserved," Yunyan replied, "for marketing and advertising. Why don't you eat it?"

Everyone was admiring it, but Yun Yanhui took such a bite first, which broke the atmosphere, and everyone started to do it.

The little tiger also held a doll-shaped melon and said naively, "I think this one looks like Brother Yan."

"Where does it look like me? It's obviously like you." Yunyan joked back, and everyone laughed together. Isn't this the same thing?

Zhuangtou said: "My lady, my lord, these dishes are about to be cooked one after another. When will they be sold? I heard that "Tokyo Daily" can publish the news of selling fruits, chickens and ducks for free. Let's do it! Maybe it’s time to go!”

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

The "Tokyo Daily" has indeed introduced rules to help poor farmers who cannot sell their agricultural products free of charge, and publish sales information to find sales.Although Tao Zhiyao obviously didn't meet the requirements, Zhuangtou obviously wanted to try his luck, maybe, maybe he got an advertising space for free.

Zhuangtou has been living in the suburbs outside the city, so he obviously doesn't know much about the host's family, so he said such naive words.

Yun Yan replied jokingly: "If we really went to the "Tokyo Daily", we would have to be kicked out by Weng Hu with a broom, and we would have to think that I was teasing him."

Shuangyi also suppressed her smile and said, "Don't worry, even if we don't advertise in "Tokyo Daily", our products will definitely be sold out."

"Of course it will! The world is full of melons, where can there be such melons... No, ginseng fruit!" Zhuangtou is very proud, after all, he also planted it, "But if there are advantages, don't take advantage of them!" His expression Among them, I kind of feel that the rich people in the city are wasting money.

Shen Kuo joked, "Don't worry, if it's really cheap, Brother Yan must have snatched it up before we realized it—Brother Yan has a good relationship with the people from Tokyo Daily."

"Wouldn't that make it easier to advertise?" Zhuangtou was overjoyed.

"You also said, how can there be such ginseng fruit all over the world, so we still have to snatch the advertising space?" Shuangyi said to Zhuangtou, "When the time comes, we will invite the reporter from "Tokyo Daily" to come over for an interview. The rare ginseng fruit, will you come for an interview then?"

Zhuangtou's eyes widened, and he waved his hands, "Me? No, no, no, my lady, stop joking, I'm almost as good as going to the toilet, how can I be in the newspaper!"

Shuangyi: "Why not? You are in charge of these fruits and vegetables. If you are not asked to accept an interview, who will accept it?"

"That should be a few gentlemen - I just follow suit!" Zhuangtou blushed and stammered, "I, I won't go...I can't talk..." He As he said that, he walked away crookedly and fled, "I'm going to feed the chickens!"

After Zhuangtou left, Zhao Yunchu took an apple and weighed it in his hand: "Well... I know what to do, I hope to send a batch to the palace!"

"Hey, you sound like I'm here to take advantage." Yun Yan whispered back, "However, Cunzhong and I did prepare a batch of apples like 'Long Live' and 'Jiangshan Yonggu'..."

Everyone: "..."

Shuangyi suppressed a smile and said, "Yes, yes, it's very necessary."

……

Yun Yanhui still remembered the agreement with the children of the Qiu family, so she picked up a few more melons and packed them in boxes. The next day, when everyone went to Puguanze to watch a play together, they sent someone to the hotel to the Qiu family.

Qiu Dafu and his younger brothers were very happy when they heard that it was a melon and fruit gift from Shi Gaobi and his brother, so they packed a box of pastries and asked someone to take them back.

Mother Qiu saw her son and nephew returning gifts to their little friend in a decent manner, she found it very interesting, and asked a few words about who the other party belonged to.

Hearing the answers from the children, they were the children from the Tusi family in Guizhou who often took the No.1 exam. Mother Qiu was very satisfied and told them to learn more from their classmates. I know that I also value friendship very much, so I must taste it!

As she said that, Mother Qiu opened one of the boxes, intending to wash it for the children, cut it up and eat it, but when she opened it, she saw a palm-sized fat doll-like melon inside, which was lifelike, with similar eyebrows and eyes, and felt full immediately. Frightened, "Ah!"

Qiu Dafu and his brothers stared wide-eyed, and then they looked at each other, and said a little excitedly: "Mother, is this melon essence?!"
