The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Zhao Yundi also knew that she was wrong, so she was embarrassed to complain again, looked at Yunyan resentfully, and said: "I can't come out for too long, otherwise my father and mother will be suspicious, so I just tell you by the way, my younger brother is now under house arrest. At home. He is worried that you will blame him for not coming to see you, so I will say hello. "

Yun Yan sighed back, "I know, please trouble third brother."

Zhou Huilin couldn't bear it when he saw that it was difficult for him to walk, and said, "Shall I take you back?"

Zhao Yundi showed panic: "I said I still want this leg."

The corner of Yunyan's mouth twitched, and she beckoned to two idlers, offered some copper coins, and asked them to take Zhao Yundi back to the mansion.What a prince, it's so miserable that the servants don't dare to take him with him, it's really unbearable.

Before leaving, Yun Yanhui asked nonchalantly: "The flowers of Meizhu in Jiangzhou are blooming this winter, I invite your family to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Zhou Huilin knew about the relationship between Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu very well. The two of them were sworn enemies in the early years. Later, they worked together by chance, and the relationship eased, but it was not very harmonious. It can be said that they have completely turned enemies into friends.

At this time, seeing that Yunyan returned calmly and invited the prince to go to his house to enjoy the plum blossoms, as if he had a plan in mind, Zhou Huilin couldn't help but asked: "How are you doing?"

The lord wanted to use the dragging formula to ask Zhao Yunchu for a long vacation, and not to let him see people, probably because he felt sleepy for a long time, and the two of them calmed down.

"I don't want to do anything, and I can't do anything to them," Yun Yan said with a relaxed expression, "But they can't do anything to me either, just see what they do."

Zhou Huilin was cold, only felt that this simple sentence contained a lot of unspeakable content.Because of Yunyan's identity, many methods are inconvenient, and the same is true for the prince and concubine.However, Yun Yanhui was obviously more affordable, he wasn't under so much pressure.

……

After the end of the day, Yun Yan went back to rest for two more days before returning to the government office to continue working.

The memorials presented a few days ago have received more attention. Therefore, the focus of Yun Yanhui's work is also to participate in the discussion of specific implementation plans.At the same time, in order to appease Zhao Yunchu, every other day, Yunyanhui would ask Shuangyi to help him quietly bring him into the palace...

Zhao Yuanyan and his wife didn't know that Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu got together under their noses, thinking that Zhao Yunchu had been locked up for honesty.

Zhao Yunchu couldn't go out during the day, he was reading at home, and sent Yunyan back to get together at night, he even felt a little happy.

It's just that it can't always be like this.Yun Yan looked back at the time, and asked Bao Zheng to come out, only hinting that Yun Chu had been on leave for a long time, why didn't he come to work.

Bao Zheng thought so too, Zhao Yunchu, a young man, used to be diligent in his work, but he still committed the old problems of the clan.What kind of place is this taking Kaifeng Mansion as?If you say rest, rest, and I haven't heard of any serious illness.

Seeing that Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were good friends, Bao Zheng simply took him to the palace.

When Zhao Yunchu first came to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Yuanyan even greeted him specially, but he wanted to ask what was going on.

Zhao Yuanyan and his wife received Bao Zheng, and when they saw Yun Yanhui beside him, they felt mixed feelings.

There was no movement for a month, but it still came after all.And when they first came, they invited Bao Xianggong to tell them how to refuse, and they were even more embarrassed to tell the truth.

Zhao Yuanyan had no choice but to call Zhao Yunchu out. Bao Zheng was even more dissatisfied when he saw Zhao Yunchu's ruddy complexion and strong body.

What does it mean to hold a position in Kaifeng's government office but do nothing? If the clan doesn't want to be an official, the courtiers are still looking forward to it. Why bother to occupy the latrine like this and don't shit.

Zhao Yuanyan was wronged, so he had to apologize and said that he would ask Zhao Yunchu to go to the government office tomorrow.

Yunyan didn't say a few words the whole way back, she looked very reserved, just smiled at Zhao Yunchu when she left, Zhao Yunchu was immediately dazzled, and made Wang Hao's teeth itch.

Turning their heads away, Wang Hao and Zhao Yuanyan began to discuss that they would continue to go on errands, but the Kaifeng government government couldn't stand it any longer!Get transferred, save face, ask the officials to transfer him away, and Zhao Yunchu is not allowed to stay outside during off-duty hours.

Zhao Yunchu couldn't help but said: "Father, Aunt, why bother to come, wherever you transfer me, Brother Yan will also transfer there, wouldn't it be a waste of time."

Both Zhao Yuanyan and the princess looked ugly, but Zhao Yunchu was telling the truth.

Zhao Yunchu has been transferred a lot, and the officials have no objection, but other courtiers have objections.But Yunyan returned to his identity as a government official, a temporary worker, there were not so many procedures for transfer, and he was welcomed everywhere.

The couple looked at each other bitterly.

The concubine thought to herself, if it didn't work out, she had to try hard and make an appointment for Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yuanyan originally disagreed, if he did this, he would tear his face apart, there would be no way out, and it would be unfair to leave a rift between him and his son in the future.

The couple discussed it for a long time, and finally Zhao Yuanyan agreed, and they had no choice. Although they didn't know that Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were still meeting in private, but seeing Yun Yanhui like that, it seemed that they were afraid of their procrastination.

As a result, the princess wanted to see the noble daughters of various families, but was often declined.She felt strange, obviously his son didn't say he was hot, but he shouldn't be so disgusted, and no one knew that he had a habit of cutting off his sleeves.

The more the princess thought about it, the more wrong it became, and she went back and told Zhao Yuanyan about her experience.

Zhao Yuanyan scolded: "What else can't figure it out? Can Brother Yan have this ability?"

No matter how much face Yun Yanhui had, he couldn't let the princes and nobles all over the city refuse the prince's mansion's marriage proposal without knowing the reason.The truth behind this is terrifying to think about carefully!

The concubine was very sad. If they had the support of the officials, they would be looking for girls from ordinary families, and there was nothing they could do.

If it weren't for the deep-rooted concept, the princess would have wanted to scold the emperor.As an emperor, maybe he felt that he was only slightly biased, but it would be fatal to the people below.

The busy days made Zhao Yuanyan and his wife physically and mentally exhausted, but they still hadn't achieved any results, and felt sad.

At this time, Zhao Yunxi and Zhao Yunliang, who were originally staying out of the matter, suddenly found their parents and had a deep talk.The two of them have always been ignorant, so they came out to speak this time because of their own mystery.

Zhao Yunxi is weak and sick, but after all, he is the eldest son, he is also a steady person, and he speaks with more weight, "Father, Aunt, and the younger brother's matter, we are also aware of it. Now that the matter is up to now, it is better to let him go."

Zhao Yuanyan's expression turned ugly, "Xi'er be careful, you know what he's going to do."

"Since the officials have already acquiesced, then we might as well push against it," Zhao Yunxi obviously came prepared, and said lightly, "My child's thinking is a little sinister. The government is very dissatisfied with the officials wanting to use our family. I will definitely do it in the future." I can't support the palace, the second and third brothers are also very stubborn, only the fourth brother has the possibility, and now he is the only one who has experienced in important positions. Then the next generation in our family will be full of talents, or we should keep the status quo OK?"

Zhao Yunxi has only one child under his knees, but Zhao Yunliang has several children because of his indulgence.

But what Zhao Yunxi said was too straightforward, which made Zhao Yuanyan's face even worse.It's not that he couldn't think of this, but he really couldn't let his young son go astray.

Zhao Yunxi didn't say anything more sinister, he still wanted to ask his parents, most of the brothers in their family were absurd, were they really born with it, or secretly indulged in order to escape the embarrassment of Empress Liu back then.

They, the royal relatives who are close in blood, don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at them.Old Zhao's family, that's also "family origin".

The benevolence of the officials may not mean that, but these two choices must have their own advantages and disadvantages.If you choose the former, there will be no catastrophe, but if you choose the latter, you will definitely have more opportunities in the future, and you can continue the prosperity of the palace for another generation, and then it will depend on your descendants.

——If possible, who wants to be raised like a pig, with a noble name but no real power.

Zhao Yunliang also said: "Hey, Dad, one is a burden, and two are a choice. Fortunately, I now have four sons, which are almost enough to share with my younger brothers. If he doesn't like one, I will continue to give birth, and he will choose one." ..."

Zhao Yuanyan and his wife: "..."

The faces of the two of them changed, and they were very unwilling, but they also understood that they couldn't have it both ways.

Zhao Yuanyan said with a straight face: "Although you have the heart to serve the country, your ancestors are also watching from the sky! You will at least be dukes in four days, and it's okay to be an idle clan."

Zhao Yunxi laughed, "Why bother, if the fourth brother wants to be a happy family member, that's all, but he is not happy!"

Now it is very clear, on the one hand, Zhao Yunchu is allowed to fall in love freely, and in the future, adopting Zhao Yunliang's children can go further in his official career, as the pillar of the palace.On the other side, Zhao Yunchu was asked to return to the right path, marry a wife and have children, but he would not be happy, and he would definitely have no hope of being an official, but it should not be as reassuring as the former.

Zhao Yuanyan lived the first half of his life very happily, with fresh clothes and angry horses, and made countless contributions.However, when he was in his prime, he had to hide in the palace, hide his edge, and even pretend to be crazy, without any dignity.

Until the official family braved the protests of many courtiers and reactivated the clan, but what was lost was irretrievable.

Zhao Yunxi's words made Zhao Yuanyan stunned for a long time, he glanced at the princess, and found the same emotion in Fa's wife's eyes, both of them heaved a long sigh, it was hard to describe what it felt like.

……

In the depths of winter, a heavy snow awakened the plum blossoms in Tokyo, and the Meizhu plum grove in Jiangzhou was just blooming, which was amazing.

To everyone's surprise, the owner of Meizhu in Jiangzhou announced that the plum grove would be open for three days, allowing people to come and enjoy the plum blossoms for free.

However, if you want to enter the host's courtyard and viewing pavilion, you need to be invited.

The palace received the invitation, inviting the whole family to enjoy the plum blossoms in Meizhu, Jiangzhou.On the appointed day, Zhao Yuanyan, the princess, their four sons and their respective families drove to Meizhu, Jiangzhou.

There was no snow at that time, and there were many people in the plum groves in Meizhu, Jiangzhou, who took advantage of the opening to visit nearby.

Stepping into the courtyard of Meizhu in Jiangzhou, you can see many relatives and friends of Yunyan Hui, including officials, businessmen, civilians, and even foreigners.

Yun Yanhui walked over quickly and saluted Zhao Yuanyan. Although the relationship between everyone has been tense recently, but in front of outsiders, Yun Yanhui didn't reveal the slightest bit, and still called him uncle.From the corner of his eyes, he saw Zhao Yundi winking, but there was nothing unusual about it.

Zhao Yuanyan took a closer look at Yun Yanhui, he could be regarded as watching Yun Yanhui grow up, as if he suddenly realized that Yun Yanhui was wrapped in fur, handsome, handsome, with a reddish nose tip from cold, adding a touch of fireworks Qi, already a young man in his twenties.

Looking sideways again, he realized that the youngest son was actually wearing the same fur coat. He didn't even ask about it. He thought it was bought by the princess. Now that I think about it, these two bastards should have "give it to each other" Bar.

Zhao Yuanyan smiled helplessly, sighed, grabbed Yun Yanhui's hand and squeezed it, and said softly, "Don't call me uncle from now on."

Yunyan raised her eyes back, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes, only then did she realize why Zhao Yundi winked, and Zhao Yunchu also showed a trace of embarrassment.

This family seemed to have gained some kind of tacit understanding in a whisper, especially the juniors, all looked unbearably excited, watching Yunyan return.

Yun Yanhui, as a new member of the family who had just obtained permission, tacitly called Zhao Yuanyan and the princess again in a low voice.

After Zhao Yuanyan and the princess heard this call, their expressions were a little unnatural, but they gradually relaxed and coughed a few times, "Plum blossoms... are blooming well."

"The wine is warmed inside, Ruilu wine from Guangnan, let's go to the pavilion to drink and enjoy the plum blossoms." Yun Yanhui very naturally invited everyone into the warm room.

There are also many acquaintances in the pavilion. Zhao Yuanyan's family came in and quickly found their own circle and blended in.

After Yunyan went back to settle the guests, she secretly took Zhao Yunchu upstairs.They didn't speak a word to each other, but they had a sense of connection.

The two climbed to the top floor of the viewing pavilion, entered the unoccupied compartment next to the window, looked out from the wide open window, and had a panoramic view of the vast snow scene with a radius of dozens of miles.The large plum forest under the attic is full of red, red, white and white.

Looking down, I don't know which academy's young scholars are singing poems with broken branches, and they are talented and romantic; the newlyweds are walking hand in hand in the plum forest, full of love; They were inspired and painted with splashed ink; the little novice of Daxiangguo Temple made a naive Maitreya Buddha out of snow in the courtyard; ...

The gentry and officials, the three religions and nine streams, and the style of the Song Dynasty, can get a glimpse of it from this world.

Yun Yan looked back, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously, she turned her head and looked at Zhao Yunchu, then embraced and kissed.

At some point outside the window, there was a fine snowfall, heralding the good times of the coming year.
