The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

After the water swing, there is a water puppet show, which is also a traditional program. A colorful building is built on a small boat, just like a puppet show theater on dry land. After a burst of music, a pair of wooden puppets come out of it.

The puppets are a man and a woman, and the clothes on their bodies are all shrunk down to the size of a real person. One looks like a scholar, and the other is a beautiful lady. Whether it is a folding fan or a ring pendant, all the accessories are as real as they are, very fine.

These puppets can perform dances, play ball and other activities. When Yunyan returned to where they were staying, many people were too nervous to watch the show, but the people in Kaifeng Mansion watched it with gusto.

"I don't know what kind of performance this year will be?" Yun Yan replied very interested.

Some musicians came out to make songs, "The carp's eyes look at the shore of peach blossoms, looking forward to the affectionate and handsome Liang Lang. Ping Chizhong and Meng Chunguang, you and I will form a phoenix forever."

Immediately, there was an exclamation from the shore.

Although this libretto is not from "Looking for Love Fish", it is obviously about the story of "Looking for Love Fish". People in Beijing are very familiar with this play, and they can tell immediately that today's water puppet adapted "Looking for Love Fish" Content.

Even Yun Yanhui laughed after being astonished, looking forward to how the puppet show will be performed.

Since it is "Looking for Love Fish", then the pair of puppets are naturally He Lishu and Liang Fuxue.

The wooden puppet Liang Fuxue picked up a fishing rod and threw it into the water, while the wooden puppet He Lishu was trembling, looking very frightened.Next, when Liang Fuxue moved his pole, he actually caught a small carp!

He Lishu stepped forward and pushed Liang Fuxue, as if asking him to put the fish back, which made the audience on the shore laugh and applaud.

The water puppet show originally had puppets playing football, fishing and other actions, but it used to be pure action performances. This time it actually added a plot and integrated the original technology to make it more interesting. It is really a breakthrough.

It has to be said that the emergence of Bian opera has given Bianjing folk artists a lot of ideas.

Yun Yan was really enjoying watching Yun Yan, when Chen Lin suddenly appeared, "Yun Xiaolang!"

Yun Yan quickly stood up, "Chen Banban, what do you want me for?"

Chen Lin said with a funny look: "The officials saw that you dragon boat teams are all gloomy, and only Kaifeng Mansion is laughing and laughing, so they asked me to come and ask you."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yan was speechless back then, eh, is it our fault that we are strong and have no pressure?

He followed Chen Lin, and saw that Renzong was not very happy and said: "The Kaifeng government is full of strongmen. It seems that you are very confident, but what's the point in comparison?"

"...We can't be blamed for that," Yun Yan said with a bitter face, "We are not equal to other yamen in strength, if we look very sad, isn't it too fake?"

Renzong snorted, "Don't be too confident."

Yun Yan whispered back, "We are not very confident, have you seen the people at Yushitai, they are so despicable, they directly bribed people to raise the bar..."

Yunyan returned to "sell" Yushitai and diverted his attention.

"What?" Renzong heard it and looked at the benchmark. It was really not obvious from a distance, but there was a particularly tall contestant in Yushitai, so what Yunyan said was probably true.

Renzong fell into deep thought.

Yun Yan turned back and said: "Officials, they should be disqualified from the competition!"

"You go back first," Renzong shook his hand suddenly, "I know what to do, this game is indeed a bit dull, like the court's self-entertainment."

"?" Yun Yanhui felt baffled, he was clearly accusing Yushitai of cheating, what was Renzong thinking of?

……

After Yunyan walked back, she saw Chen Lin notifying each team one by one, and suddenly felt something was wrong!

At noon, the dragon boat competition officially began, and people from various government offices boarded the boat separately.Everyone first rowed under a Feihong bridge, which was the starting point, and the pole was in front of the water hall.

People on both sides of the strait were cheering, and Kaifeng Mansion received the most cheering voices.

Yun Yanhui sat on the bow of the boat, turned her head and said something, everyone raised their hands together, and greeted the common people, with the interaction, the cheering became more enthusiastic, and other government officials followed suit after seeing it.

With the sound of gongs and drums, accompanied by fierce drumbeats, a military academy at the finish line waved the flag fiercely, symbolizing the start of the race!

Twenty dragon boats set off at high speed, shouting chant and paddling.

For the common people, this was indeed not as intense as the more intense competitions in previous years, but when the dragon boats were all approaching the finish line, they knew they had made a mistake.

The fleet of Kaifeng Prefecture is undoubtedly No.1.Ranked No. 2 are also old friends of Yun Yanhui, the officials of the tea case, they have traveled all year round, and their physical strength is not bad, only a little behind Kaifeng Mansion.As for No.3, it is Yushitai.

At this moment, the crew of No. 2 suddenly picked up the oars and stabbed the man who was yelling in Kaifeng Mansion in the waist, and the man fell into the water like a dumpling.

The rhythm of Kaifeng Mansion suddenly became chaotic, and the audience also shouted. Yun Yan heard it, and then turned around to look, and was stunned.

It is impossible for the people involved in the tea case to break the rules so openly, so it can only be that... Renzong changed the rules!

Yunyan looked up and saw Renzong smiling on the water hall.

Yun Yan replied: "..."

As for fighting so hard?

At this time, the boat of the tea case had taken the opportunity to overtake and became No.1.

Yun Yan had an idea, and turned around and said: "Poke the people from Yushitai down!!"

The people in Kaifeng Mansion were ordered to take up their oars and attack No.3 Yushitai.

All Yushitai: "???"

I rely on - what are they doing? !

Even the head of Yushitai, who was watching the battle from the shore, jumped up anxiously, and shouted to the officials and colleagues beside him, "What's going on with Yunyanhui, Baofutai! What's going on with them? !"

Bao Zheng looked innocent, how did he know?

Yun Yan replied: If you don't stab me, who do you stab?

The benchmark is still high, and it seems to be even higher. Only Yushitai is tall and tall. Since Renzong wants to play, they should of course cooperate. Focus on Yushitai first and let others compete.

So, the people from the Kaifeng mansion set up their boats to stop the people from Yushitai, and began to focus on them, completely ignoring that one ship after another passed them.

The people at Yushitai were in a state of desperation. While hiding and fighting back, they cursed: "Yunyan back! Why are you beating us? It's the tea case that stabbed you!"

"The injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner, so don't be unreasonable!"

"Don't reason with them!" Yun Yanhui shouted, it is the most unwise to reason with the people in Yushitai, because you can't reason with them, Yun Yanhui knows this well, "stab them all! "

The officials of Yushitai fell into the water one by one, and were picked up by the rescue boat on the side, but they lost the qualification for the competition.Later, when some people saw the tragic scene of their colleagues jumping into the water, they became frightened and simply jumped into the water by themselves.

As for the real creditor tea case?As No.1, they are now being besieged by more than a dozen other dragon boats!

The audience on the shore petrified collectively.

They originally thought it was just an ordinary dragon boat competition. In previous years, there were tricks in the dragon boat competition, but this year they are all officials. That shouldn't happen, right?

Who knows, it's even more extreme!How could these people be so small that they directly attacked their opponents!

Most of the dragon boats have reached the benchmark, and now there is a scuffle, not only stabbing people with oars, but also suicide attacks, that is, jumping on other people's boats, grabbing as many people as possible and jumping into the water.There are also tactics such as combining vertical and horizontal, and unite to attack other teams.

——It is also because of these actions that many people discovered that this may have been agreed in advance, not a temporary play.As long as they entered the water, they lost their qualifications. Those who fell into the water did not climb back, but were obediently picked up by the small boat beside them.

Those who came to participate were all young and strong young officials, they could afford to play, and they played very happily.

After being stunned for a while, the people came back to their senses and let out louder shouts and laughter.

How could you see such an unimpressive side of the imperial court ordering officer in a different day?

Yunyan came back here and led the people from Kaifeng Mansion to "kill all" Yushitai. Li Zeyun, who led the team over there, showed a sad and indignant expression. He was already honored. , "Master Yun, what are you doing?"

"For victory, it's worth it!" Yun Yan replied decisively, "I'm sorry, Xiao Li, there are no masters and apprentices on the battlefield!"

Li Zeyun was stunned, and before he had time to complain, Yunyan pulled his ears back, let go of the pain and swam to the boat.

"Next we can fight!" Zhao Hu shouted.

"Wait," Yun Yan called back to stop, "Do we all need to fight in a big battle? Master Wu!"

In response, Bai Yutang threw the oars and flexed his wrists, he didn't need to continue rowing at all, he just practiced his lightness and stepped on the water, causing the people to exclaim.

The people of Kaifeng Mansion rowed slowly towards the finish line.

As for Bai Yutang, he had already stepped on the bow of someone else's boat, and when he looked up, two or three people were scrambling to climb up the pole.

With a chuckle, Bai Yutang rose from the ground, stepped on top of a person, leaped and hugged the pole, pulled off the golden color with two strokes and stood on top of the pole, squatting on the top as big as a child's fist, standing firmly when!

At this time, the boat from Kaifeng Mansion also rowed close, Bai Yutang turned over, and landed on the bow of the boat from a high place, with the wind blowing his face, he looked like a beautiful Chinchilla.

The drum beat stopped, and the winning team was Kaifeng Fuya!

After a brief silence, the people screamed and applauded vigorously for Bai Yutang's wonderful performance.There are also countless little ladies, seeing Bai Yutang's figure and face, they are all pink and affectionate, and they whispered quietly.

Bai Yutang was very proud of himself, he lifted up the brocade color a little coquettishly, and immediately aroused a tidal wave of shouts.

The relatively calm Zhan Zhao shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene.

……

Above the water palace, Renzong, the concubine, and all the important ministers also enjoyed watching it very much.

The dragon boat competition just now not only showed the very detached side of the officials they know who are usually very gentle, the fierce confrontation, but also Bai Yutang's unparalleled lightness, it can be said to be full of appreciation.

Renzong took the lead in applauding, and nodded towards Kaifeng Mansion with a smile.

If it is a race, then today's competition is definitely not as good as in previous years, but the final bid competition under the benchmark is far from being as good as in previous years.

After the game, everyone changed their clothes and went back to the booth to sit down. Many people were still talking about the interesting things in the game just now, which caused bursts of laughter.

Compared with the results of the game, the process is more interesting to talk about.

Of course, the behavior of the chicken thieves in Kaifeng Mansion was also blamed, because most of the time they hid behind and beat the censor, so they had the least casualties.

"It's really a praying mantis catching a cicada, and the oriole is behind!"

"Actually, Guard Bai won the title long ago. He still gave us some time to show off!"

"Haha," Yun Yanhui also teased, "now the little ladies in Bianjing probably have an extra dream lover, the two strikes by the white guard before were very handsome, but afterward they were all applauded by the little ladies. I see, tomorrow someone will entrust Bao Futai to be a matchmaker."

"Yeah, we fought for so long before, and finally the limelight was stolen by the white guard."

Bai Yutang folded his arms and gloated, "I think Brother Yan will be besieged by the censors before tomorrow!"

Yun Yan turned her head to look, and the people in Yushitai were staring at her, wishing to shoot him into the water with their eyes.
