The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Zhao Yunchu stood up and saluted extremely depressed, he thought that his father walking in from the outside was enough to shock him, but he didn't expect that the official also came out of the palace in disguise.

Zhao Yuanyan looked at him helplessly, and he knew very clearly why he said he didn't want others to eat. He felt that his son was too worthless, but it was hard to speak of him in front of the officials. Gathering, officials also come to have fun with the people, but there is no place to eat, so I propose to come here."

He met his own princess on the road, so he knew there was something to eat here, but he didn't expect that the other three sons were not there, only Zhao Yunchu and Yunyan returned.

I don't know if it's because Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were too successful in life, so Zhao Yuanyan really didn't doubt the relationship between his son and Brother Yan at all, even though there is already a lesson from the old three at home...

Yun Yan replied with a sneer and said, "My lord was joking, my place is simple, you two should not dislike it."

He looked at Renzong with a guilty conscience. After all, last time he called people brothers and sisters... Just kidding, this is the emperor of a feudal society after all.

Renzong also smiled, but he was very kind. He walked to the table, looked at the tableware on the table, and said rather curiously, "This, is it a new dish?"

As for the canteen in Kaifeng Mansion, Renzong had already seen it, and he knew that most of it was created by Yun Yanhui, and there were many other things that were also created by Yun Yanhui.

Yun Yanhui had no choice but to introduce the hot pot to Renzong again, but the name used was Boxia Gong. After Yang Yuqing's reaction before, he felt that this was more acceptable to the ancients.

Renzong said: "I don't think your place is simple at all. Today we are considered to be rich with our cousin. It turned out that you invited him to eat."

"Where are the officials?" Zhao Yuanyan said with a smile, "This world is yours, not to mention the food. However, Brother Yan still needs to worry about it today. Do you know the taste of the officials?"

Yun Yan shook her head of course.

Renzong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's all sit down and eat. I'll just make the sauce myself. It's just a little thing."

Yunyan came back to her heart and said that she is indeed Renzong, she is really approachable, even a small temporary worker is so kind to him.

It's just that when the emperor comes to your house, he can't just be so casual, so Yun Yan went back to get a few cold dishes and some cold tea, so as not to get angry.

Renzong really adjusted the sauce and blanched the meat himself, and said while eating, "I saw the ice sculptures today, and they are all good." With his appreciation level, if he can say something good, it means that it is already very good." More importantly, the common people enjoy it, and the poor benefit more, which is very good.”

Relief through work in later generations was actually very common in the Song Dynasty.At this time, the country will not only provide relief, but also when natural disasters occur, the government will often come forward, or through large temples, hire disaster victims to build roads and bridges, and build various public facilities.

Therefore, Renzong could see the benefits of activities like this at a glance.

The Ice and Snow Temple Fair was led by Daxiangguo Temple and Kaifeng Mansion. Yun Yanhui had a close relationship with both parties, so he was naturally very happy. The nervousness at the beginning was long forgotten, and he only regarded Renzong as the leader when he had not traveled before. The attitude is respectful but also calm, "With the approval of the officials, Daxiangguo Temple will definitely work harder, and strive to make this ice and snow temple fair better and better every time, so as to benefit more people."

Renzong was still surprised. At this time, the relationship between the royal family and the subjects was not as it was in the later Ming and Qing Dynasties, but if ordinary people faced the emperor directly, there were really not many people like Yun Yanhui.

The last time Yunyan came back, he didn't know his identity. Now that he knew it, it was the second time we met. He adapted quickly enough, faster than many new scholars who entered the court and became officials.

But Renzong was just surprised, not unhappy, but quite appreciative, "You don't take credit for it, Bao Zheng told me that this temple fair, the food festival of Daxiangguo Temple in the past, and the festival of Kaifeng Mansion are all different. You planned it all by yourself. I'm still wondering why there is no such talent in the palace."

Yun Yan didn't expect Bao Zheng and the officials to praise him, but considering Bao Zheng's personality, it's not surprising.

He said Ai Ai sincerely: "Probably because the villain is the only son in the family, and his father died young, so A Niang is not willing to send the villain into the palace..."

Renzong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Zhao Yuanyan also scolded with a smile: "How dare you be so glib in front of officials."

"I knew it a long time ago," Renzong said with a smile, "You don't know, last time he..."

In the middle of speaking, Renzong suddenly shut up, coughed, saw Yunyan's nervous expression, and said, "What are you nervous about, I won't say anything."

Last time, Renzong said that he would let go of Yun Yan's disrespectful behavior, and the two offset each other, so when he remembered it, he stopped in time.

Although Zhao Yuanyan went in without knowing it, he also knew that there must be something that he didn't know. When he proposed to come here before, the officials seemed to know Brother Yan, and they didn't go into details. Now it seems that they There is still a little secret?

Renzong said again: "Yes, you, Yunchu, and Zheng Ling are also good."

The former one is good, and it talks about Yun Yanhui, this person is good, while the latter one talks about his relationship with Zhao Yunchu.

Not only did Yunyan come back with some thoughts, but her background was very clean. The people she made good friends with were the Eight Wangs' family and Bao Zheng, and her own identity was related to the Zheng family. There was a member of the Zheng family who tried the official court, so he was naturally on Renzong's side .

Originally, this sentence was very good, but why did it mention Zheng Ling?Zhao Yunchu hurriedly said: "Brother Yan and I are childhood sweethearts."

If you don't mention Zheng Ling, then Zheng Ling is a junior.

Renzong thought for a while, is there such a use for childhood sweethearts?

Zhao Yuanyan said helplessly: "Well, Brother Yan once worshiped Zen Master Ran as his teacher, and Brother Chu often came to learn from Zen Master when he was young, and the two of them played together since childhood."

"You have to ask your...childhood sweetheart," Renzong said with a smile, "Learn it, I've heard it, it's amazing. I heard that the fried dough stick is now called the prime minister's fried dough stick. Think about it, if I eat this 'Baxia offering' today, will it become an 'official offering'."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

I have to say... Although he didn't have time to think about it just now, this is really something he can do!It's definitely not that Renzong has a big face!

Of course, it must not be admitted in front of Renzong, although Renzong seems to know that he is always engaged in social marketing, "I am wronged, officials, the prime minister's fritters were passed on by the Tokyo people themselves."

He just, a little, pushed it!

"However, I have granted permission for this matter." Renzong said surprisingly.

Yun Yan didn't realize it for a while, "What, what?"

Renzong: "Let me give you permission to use me."

Yun Yan almost threw herself into the street when she returned, and immediately asked, "Why?"

"To reciprocate, didn't you invite us to eat the Boxia offering today?" Renzong looked at the extremely thin slices of meat, which were rolled up when they were cooked. They were shiny with oil, and there were a little peppercorns on them, which was very attractive.

Yun Yan almost couldn't close her mouth when she turned back. Damn, the officials are so easy to talk to?No, no, he hasn't said it yet, it's all the officials are talking about, isn't this really trying to trick him?

Yun Yan replied hesitantly: "Then I... thank the Lord for your kindness?"

Everyone: "..."

Why do you use this tone? !

Yun Yan looked back at their faces, and quickly changed into a tone full of excitement and said, "Thank you, Lord Long En!"

Renzong: "..."

Renzong hesitated and said, "Why do I still feel weird?"

Zhao Yuanyan smoothed things over with a smile: "This kid doesn't know the etiquette in court. Don't blame the officials. Next time, let him go to the etiquette department to practice."

The corner of Renzong's mouth twitched, and he nodded, admitting it.

After Renzong finished eating, he left with Zhao Yuanyan.

After they left, Zhao Yunchu said quietly: "The official family treats you really well..."

Yun Yan tapped him on the head, "Nonsense! The emperor speaks in a twist and turn. Didn't you hear him say reciprocating? It's nothing to make a tribute. He has such a big wrist, and his image Lend me for consumption without endorsement fee, you think I'm really attractive!!"

Zhao Yunchu said confidently: "Yes!"

Needless to say, in his eyes, Brother Yan is the most powerful.

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yan pinched his neck back and said, "Wake up, not everyone looks at me with a ten-foot-thick filter like you!"

It would be great if everyone was like Zhao Yunchu, woohoo, everyone loves him, the world will be a better place.

Zhao Yunchu blushed and said, "Filter, what is a filter?"

Zhao Yunchu was half pinched and half shy, because he felt that Brother Yan seemed to be implying something, just like the mandarin duck pot.Although he doesn't know what the filter means, but combined with Yan Ge'er's semantics, why does he think the translation means "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"?

Although he (I think) didn't reveal his thoughts, but Brother Yan is so smart, even if he guessed his thoughts, it's not surprising.

Just when Zhao Yunchu was thinking about it again, Yun Yanhui had already let go, "That means we have a good relationship, that's why you think I'm good in everything, or I'm not good at evaluation."

See, this is the meaning of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".Zhao Yunchu thought to himself.

Yun Yanhui had already gnawed on his chopsticks and thought, "Hmph, I'm not afraid of any job. Since I reciprocate, I must eat the peach first, and earn back the meal I invited him..."

Moreover, it is to earn many times!
