The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

A few days passed, and it happened to be an auspicious day when the prince got married.

Yun Yan got up early in the morning to wash up. In this feudal society, royal family affairs are equal to state affairs. When the emperor marries a wife, all the officials also go to have a wedding wine, and congratulate them.

Zhao Yunchu is the same, he is not only a courtier, but also a clan, and he is even more present.

Both the inner court and the outer court held banquets, and the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the festive atmosphere even spread beyond the palace city.Because Renzong was very popular, and the prince was also known as a virtuous person, this wedding, which was a good story, also received blessings from many people.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu went all the way to the palace gate, they could hear the common people discussing today's marriage.Of course, what the children look forward to most is the part of distributing wedding candies.

Two days earlier, candies were continuously transported from Tao Zhiyao to the palace. It is said that when the first one was carried into the palace gate, the last one was carried out of Tao Zhiyao's gate.After all, not only wedding candies are needed, but also a lot of banquets in the palace.

As for the wedding, it has been purchased a few months earlier.

As far as Yun Yanhui knew, because Renzong was quite rich in recent years, and the court was also rich, he bought tens of thousands of taels of silver alone, as well as various silks and satins, brocade clothes and jade belts, fine wine, cattle and sheep, etc. Xian Renzong is a big local tyrant.

In addition to the rewards given to the prince and princess, Renzong also had to distribute rewards to his courtiers, so that everyone can enjoy the joy together.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were recognized by Renzong, and they could be regarded as relatives of the emperor. He and Zhao Yunchu entered the inner court together. At this time, Renzong happened to summon Shi Gaobi in the side hall.

The servant brought Yun Yanhui and the two into the side hall, and Yun Yan sang back to salute: "Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family, you are blessed to have such a beautiful son and daughter-in-law."

In middle age, although Renzong is not as graceful as he was back then, he can still be called mature and handsome, and it is the time when he is most contented.Even if there is a little regret, but since there is today's wedding, he has already thought about it, and at this moment he doesn't care about Yun Yan's nondescript congratulatory speech, and said: "Come on, let me see what congratulatory ceremony you have prepared. "

Yunyan went back and pulled up her sleeves to show Renzong.

Renzong took a look, only to find that his sleeves were empty.

Yun Yan replied: "I sent a big piece! I sent it to Thirteen Lang!"

Renzong almost hit him, "Then show me what sleeves you have."

Cao Miaolian covered her mouth and smiled, "Zhufeng likes to joke the most, but what big gift did you send?"

Renzong pointedly said: "I just saw that Gao Bi brought many overseas treasures to Shu'er and Tao Tao."

"You are rich in the world, why did your son get married and still think about our little gift? You can't get back the money anyway," Yun Yan Hui Youyou said, "Ah Chu and I jointly gave the Lianli tree potted plant. It's only half a person tall, and my idea is that Thirteenth Lang irrigates it every day, and after a few years, he and Tao Tao will be married for fifty or sixty years, and even the tree will grow to towering heights."

There are so many courtiers in the capital, and there are countless people who want to take photos of the future emperor's horses. Wherever Yun Yan can return the expensive things, they have already been snapped up.Yun Yanhui simply asked someone to plant a Lianli tree, as a good implication.

After hearing this, Renzong pointed at him and said, "Don't talk so much, you're just trying to please. Then when Xiaoba gets married in the future, what will you give?"

Zhao Youwu's relationship with Yun Yanhui is even closer, they are still from the same family.

Yun Yan replied cunningly: "Treat everyone equally, even if my son marries a wife, I will also give the Lianli tree."

Renzong had nothing to do with him, he pointed a few times, and said to Zhao Yunchu: "You want to strengthen your husband."

Zhao Yunchu blushed, slightly lowered his head and pursed his lips into a smile.

"??" Renzong didn't even know what Zhao Yunchu was happy about, he was so worthless, it had been so many years, but if someone said that the two of them could still be happy as a couple, they really didn't have any hope of being a husband.

In fact, Renzong always guessed that Yun Yanhui was the husband.Fortunately, he was scruples about his identity, so he didn't ask, so he kept some temperament.

Shi Gaobi had not been to Bianliang for a long time, and Renzong cared about his studies again. After taking the school examination, he felt that Shi Gaobi was indeed deeply influenced by Sinology culture. .”

But it's a pity that Shi Gaobi will be the chieftain of the Miao people in Guangnan in the future, and even if he passes the Jinshi examination, he will not be able to become an official elsewhere.After attending Zhao Shu's wedding this time, I don't know what year and month it will be when I come to Beijing again.

Renzong looked at Shi Gaobi, then looked at Yun Yanhui, and said with emotion: "One face, how can there be two hearts. Chasing the wind is that there are too many eyes, and the knowledge is missed."

There are so many slots and no words, this kind of explanation, Yun Yanhui is speechless.

Shi Gaobi smiled and said, "Brother Yan is already highly valued by officials at my age, I dare not compare myself."

Yun Yan replied: "Well, the officials are always wrong, they obviously like me like this..."

Renzong: "..."

Sometimes, Renzong would also reflect on himself, whether he had allowed Yunyan to return too much.However, this seemed to be the only close friend he had, so he had to let it go.

……

Besides, there are so many rituals today, whether it is Renzong's side, mainly Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao, they both have to salute in the palace of the empress dowager, and then salute in front of the officials and the empress. , clan and even foreign envoys pay homage and so on.

When Gao Taotao performed the ceremony, she complained a lot. She is not weak, but the etiquette is really complicated, and the auspicious clothes are even more heavy.Zhao Shu felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and at that time asked Yunyan to come up with some lazy and slippery ideas.

Yun Yan pointed back at her nose: "Why do you ask me about the idea of ​​being lazy and slippery?"

Zhao Shu looked embarrassed, and after a while found a decent reason: "You probably caught a lot of slippery people..."

That's more or less.

Where did Yunyan know how lazy girls are when they salute? He asked the old palace man for advice on how to maintain his strength during the ceremony, and asked Zhao Shu to replace all the palace men around Gao Taotao with strong servants. Leverage her.

When Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao went to Renzong's place to thank Renzong, they still had more energy.

Renzong felt in his heart that Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao got married this time because Renzong considered Cao's situation a hundred years later and taught them to marry.

However, there is no one who doesn't want his own son to succeed to the throne, especially the better he manages the country, the more depressed he will be.

It's just that the heirs couldn't force him to come. Renzong himself guessed secretly that he had accumulated virtue and done good deeds on weekdays.If he treats Thirteen Lang in a coy manner, he may become renounced in the future and cause trouble for the country, so he is educated carefully and does not hide his secrets.

History has quietly turned a corner here, and it was later confirmed that Zhao Shu was grateful for Renzong's heart and cared for Li, Cao's relatives, and the princesses.In terms of political philosophy, he also inherited Renzong's last wish and continued the prosperity and peace of Renzong's dynasty. It can be said that he is not a father and son, but better than a father and son.

……

At this time, after Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao thanked the emperor, the clan, ministers, and envoys came to congratulate.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Shu looked at each other from a distance in the crowd, and exchanged a tacit look.

Yun Yan looked back at Zhao Shu, who was now tall, handsome and energetic, and thought of the kid who forced him to pull carrots together, and thought of the naughty and good-tempered emperor in the back kitchen of the Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Yunchu seemed to have a tacit understanding, and said from the side: "Running behind our buttocks back then, all of a sudden we have reached the age of marriage."

Yun Yan went back to find her bosom friend, nodded and said: "Isn't that right, I'm so touched, we can count as watching the prince and princess grow up. In two years, the princess and Guagua will also get married..."

The ancients got married early!In modern times, he is still a young and middle-aged man, but here he is almost a grandfather.Of course, because he has been an uncle and grandfather for many years, so it is acceptable.

Zhao Yunchu was also deeply touched and said: "Yes! Brother Yan, look, even Guagua is almost getting married, and we haven't been able to get married..."

"..." Yun Yan wanted to cry and laugh again, also, the relationship between him and Zhao Yunchu is not recognized by national laws, and now it can be regarded as an illegal concubine at best.But they have the approval of the feudal emperor, so I don't know if they are above the law.

At the banquet, everyone was immersed in the joy, but Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu didn't stay for long and sneaked out for a walk.

It coincided with the fireworks being lit inside and outside the palace. The ones inside the palace were prepared by the palace, accompanied by the music of the court, which was very lively. The ones outside the palace were spontaneous crowdfunding by merchants to celebrate the prince's marriage.

The bright fireworks lit up half of the Tokyo city, Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu joined hands to climb the imperial city tower to watch the fireworks.

This section of the city wall is still new, it has not been repaired for a few years.At the beginning, Yunyan went back to help Renzong demolish the residential buildings in this area, and then built a new palace complex.

Many palace people stood on the tower, with baskets of wedding candies and copper coins at their feet.

Yun Yan looked back and joined in the fun and said, "Give me a basket, I'll distribute it for you later."

If other officials came, the palace people would not dare to accept it, but in front of Yunlang, the palace people smiled and said: "Then thank you Yunlang, you are not here for the banquet, but come here to hurt people."

"Come here to feel the excitement." Yun Yan looked back and saw that many people had gathered a few feet away from the wall, and they all came to enjoy the joy of the royal family.

The decree of the palace was spread out, and they had fun with the people. Countless people turned towards the palace and shouted long live.Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were also together, and like other palace people, they grabbed wedding candies and copper coins and sprinkled them down, the people rushed to pick them up, and congratulated the prince and princess.

On the majestic city tower, Yun Yanhui can see the city of Bianjing, where the lights and candles are shining brightly, the stars and the moon shining together, reminding him of the shock when he first encountered this ancient city.

Life is like a dream, but Yun Yanhui dreamed that thousands of years ago, he changed the fate of many people, and was changed by many people.Gradually, he was willing to live here, and as a small official, he participated in the history of the Song Dynasty with princes, emperors, grandchildren, and literati.

Zhao Yunchu accidentally threw the basket down the tower, rubbed his nose in embarrassment, caught a glimpse of Yun Yanhui's movement stopped at some point, and asked with concern: "Brother Yan, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yun Yan smiled back at him, "I was thinking, this is really a prosperous world."
