The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Soon in early summer, Shuangyi's manor in Puguanze began to harvest the first batch of fruits and vegetables. Her family built houses for those fertile fields and hired reliable tenants to cultivate them, and the prices were very generous. Thinking that the weather is better, I can live there and enjoy the pastoral pleasures.

Yun Yan went back to Puguanze with his family and played in the manor by the way.

Except for Zheng Ping and his wife, Shuangyi and Xiaohuo, Yun Yan only brought Zhao Yunchu back. No one else had any doubts, but Shen Kuo looked at the staffing a little bit suspicious.

Shuang Yi only said that he thinks too much. Since childhood, Zheng Ling and Zhao Yunchu have often participated in activities in their family.

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

Knowing that the host’s family was coming, the selected tenants cleaned up all the houses in advance. When they were built, they took into account their many relatives and friends, so the rooms are very spacious.

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

The melon vines crawled across the entire corridor along a grid of shelves, decorating it in green, and occasionally you can see light yellow flowers, and more of them are large and small loofahs.

Through the gaps between melon vines and melon leaves, rows of fruits and vegetables can be seen in the fields on both sides, fresh and pleasant.

As soon as you enter the door, you can feel that this place is not only rich in pastoral atmosphere, but also full of unique interest and unique elegance.

Shuang Yi said: "When I came last time, it was just a bare frame. Now it has grown up, it really looks good."

"I have planted crops for so many years, and this is the first time I have discovered that I can still grow melons like this." The head of the village exclaimed, "You said you want to build a corridor, I was still thinking, is it not nonsense to make this in the field? This is good, it looks good and it is real, just pick a few to make loofah scrambled eggs at noon, right?"

"Not bad." Shuangyi smiled back at Yunyan, everything was clear.

I was holding the little tiger on the Yunyan circuit, inevitably a little tired, and now he changed hands to Zhao Yunchu. In order to make the little tiger willing, Zhao Yunchu drove him to his shoulders to "ride a high horse".

Because Zhao Yunchu was already tall, the little tiger was riding on his shoulders. He was very happy when he passed the loofah corridor. From time to time, he turned his head to avoid the long hanging loofah, or reached out to fiddle with the leaves.

When he was waiting to put his luggage, the little tiger naturally wanted to sleep in the same room with Yun Yan, which was convenient for taking care of him, but none of his guards came with him.

With so many rooms, Zhao Yunchu couldn't be cheeky to squeeze with them, so he had to live nearby.

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

Most of the staff in Youyuan are familiar to Yun Yanhui. Yun Yanhui put the little tiger in the children's playground and wanted to find Kongji.

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

Although Yun Yan did not return to work as an art director this time, Kong Ji has learned a lot, attaches great importance to costumes and props, and is asking artists to try on armor. Seeing Yun Yan's return, Kong Ji enthusiastically asked people to sing a cappella for Yun Yan to listen to.

Yun Yan returned his palm and said: "The aftermath of "Looking for the Love Fish" has not disappeared, and there is another "Three Kingdoms", which is also a big hit."

Kong Ji couldn't wait to ask Yun Yan to listen to the complete script and show him his revised script. All of the scripts were handwritten. It was really painstaking.

After the two chatted for a while, Yun Yan said that there were children in the family waiting. He went back to watch the show with his family, and went to look for the little tiger.

When I went to the children’s playground to search, the little tiger sat on a chair to play tangrams. There were three children around him. He didn't dare to get too close. He just made a word from time to time, but the little tiger was very indifferent.

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

"Wait," Yun Yan looked back at the children, always feeling a little familiar, as if they had met the little tiger, "These are your classmates, don't you introduce them to your brother?"

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

They are all classmates, so you only remember one name? Yun Yanhui was a bit speechless.

After Yun Yan taught Little Tiger, he stopped beating people, but for a while, he couldn't always smile and greet people like Yun Yanhui did. Fortunately, it is said that other classmates worship Little Tiger even more...

Qiu Dafu is one of them. Together with his younger brothers, he politely greeted the brother of his classmates, and also took the initiative to apply to go play on the slide.

Yun Yan naturally said that he took the children to play with him. After asking, he also knew that Qiu Dafu and his family were also visiting Puguanze for vacation, and they were staying in the hotel in Youyuan. The hotels in this scenic area are more expensive than the homestays. Generally, the consumers are rich and wealthy.

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

"We live in the nearby Zhuangzi. It is also very fun. We have planted a lot of fruits and you can come and play." Yun Yan said with a smile, "If I am not free, I will ask Little Tiger to bring you some food next time I meet. ."

Qiu Dafu nodded shyly, "Then I will bring you the cakes my mother made."

After leaving Youyuan, Yun Yanhui still said to Little Tiger, "How polite the classmates of the Qiu family, especially Dafu, you have to be gentle with them appropriately."

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

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Little Tiger: "I'm worried, everyone is pestering me! I also learned how to laugh with my brother, but I get tired after a while, so now I always laugh at people for a certain period of time every day!"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

When Yun Yan heard the little tiger's arrangement for him, it was rather messy. However, since his classmates didn't know why, and they liked this set, Yun Yan couldn't persuade him when he returned.

...

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

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

Zheng Ping saw Yun Yan returning, and she held up a melon in her hand, "Brother Yan, I thought that the ‘ginseng fruit’ you were talking about was at most a doll. Who knew that the eyebrows were so exquisite?"

Zhuangtou also exaggerated and exaggerated, and he hadn't seen such a way after so many years of planting. He couldn't be more satisfied with his host family. With such a method, he taught them how much trust this is, not to mention how generous the treatment is.

Shuang Yi also said, "I can't bear to eat such a little baby."

Yunyan didn’t have so many obstacles in his return. He broke a melon and took a bite, “Well, it’s good, it’s very sweet, it’s grown really well... this is the melon grown out of a mold, and the ginseng fruit deceives customers. Don't be fooled by yourself."

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

"Okay, I'm a little reserved," Yun Yan replied, "Do marketing and advertising. Why don't you guys eat it?"

At first, everyone was appreciating it. Yun Yan took such a bite first, which broke the atmosphere, and everyone started doing it.

The little tiger also held a baby-like melon and said innocently: "I think this one looks like Brother Yan."

"Where is it like me? It's obviously like you." Yun Yan joked back, and everyone laughed together. Isn't that the same thing?

The Chuang Tou said: "Lady, Lang Jun, these dishes are about to be cooked one after another, when will they be on sale? I heard that the "Tokyo Daily" can publish the news of selling fruit chickens and ducks for free, let's go to the list! Maybe it's on!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

"Tokyo Daily" has indeed issued rules to help poor peasants who cannot sell agricultural products free of charge and publish sales information to find sales. Although Tao Zhiyao obviously didn't meet the conditions, the dealer was obviously trying to hit his luck. Maybe, maybe he just got an ad spot for free.

Chuang Tou had been living in the suburbs outside the city, and obviously he didn't know much about the host's natal family, so he said such naive things.

Yun Yan replied jokingly: "If we really go to the Tokyo Daily, then we must not be driven out by Hu Weng with a broom, and we must be able to tease him for me."

Shuangyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you don't advertise in the Tokyo Daily, our stuff will definitely be sold out."

"That will certainly be! This is all over the world, where can there be such melons...no, ginseng fruit!" The Chuang head is very proud, after all, this is also what he planted, "but if there are advantages, don't you take away!" He looked like Among them, I feel a little bit of a waste of the rich in the city.

Shen Kuo joked: "Don't worry, if it's really cheap, we didn't react. Ge Yan must have preempted it first-Ge Yan and the people of Tokyo Daily have a good relationship."

"Wouldn't it be better to use ads?" Zhuang Tou was overjoyed.

"You also said that there are no such ginseng fruits all over the world, so can we still be guilty of rubbing the advertising space?" Shuangyi said to Zhuangtou, "When the time comes, we will ask a reporter from the Tokyo Daily to come over for an interview. The rare ginseng fruit, will you come for an interview then?"

Zhuang Tou's eyes widened, and he waved his hand straight, "Me? No way, no, don't laugh, lady, it's almost the same for me to go to the latrine, how can I get the newspaper!"

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

"That should be a few princes too-I'm just, just do it!" Chuang Tou blushed and stammered, "I, I'm not going up... I can't speak..." he As he said, 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 how to do it, and I want to send a batch to the palace to talk about it!"

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

Everyone: "..."

Shuang Yi endured a smile and said, "What you want, what you want, it's very necessary."

...

Yun Yanhui still remembered the appointment he had made with the children of the Qiu family. He picked up a few melons and packed them in boxes. The next day, when everyone went to see a play in Puguanze, they sent someone to the hotel and gave them to the Qiu family.

Qiu Dafu and his brothers heard that this was a melon and fruit sent by Shi Gaobi and his brother.

Qiu's mother saw her son and nephew responding to her little partner in a decent way, and found it very interesting, and asked a few words about who the other party is from.

When the children answered that it was the Guizhou Tusi child who often took the first place in the exam, Qiu’s mother was very satisfied. I know that friendship is very important, so I must taste it!

With that said, Mother Qiu opened one of the boxes and planned to wash the children and cut them to eat. Who knows that when she opened it, she saw a melon like a slapped fat baby, lifelike and full of eyebrows. Frightened, "Yeah!"

Qiu Dafu and his brothers widened their eyes, and then you looked at me and I looked at you, and they were a little excited and said: "Aniang, is this melon essence?!"
