The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Zhao Yundi also knew that he was wrong, so he was embarrassed to complain again, looked at Yun Yan with a bitter expression, and said, "I can't be out for too long, otherwise Auntie and Auntie will have to doubt. I just stop by and tell you that my younger brother is now under house arrest. Home. He was worried that you blamed him for not coming to see you, so I said hello."

Yun Yan sighed back, "I know, I'm having trouble with the third brother."

Zhou Huilin couldn't bear to see him walking inconveniently, and said, "Shall I send you back?"

Zhao Yundi looked terrified: "I have said that I still need this leg."

Yun Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, beckoned to two idle men, paid some copper, and asked them to send Zhao Yundi back to the house. What a prince, so miserable, the little servant dare not take it, it is really unbearable.

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

Zhou Huilin knew about the relationship between Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu very well. The two of them were mortal enemies in their early years. Later, they worked together and the relationship eased, but they can’t be said to be very harmonious. It was not until recently that they were in trouble together. It can be said to have completely turned the enemy into a friend.

At this time, seeing Yun Yanhui calmly inviting the palace to go to his house to enjoy the plum, as if he had a good heart, Zhou Huilin couldn't help but care about it: "How are you doing?"

The prince wants to use the tactic of dragging words to ask Zhao Yunchu to take a long vacation without asking him to see people. Maybe they feel sleepy for a long time, and the two of them fade away.

"I don't want to do anything, and I can't do anything to them," Yun Yan returned with a relaxed expression, "but they can't do anything to me either.

Zhou Huilin Yihan only felt that this simple sentence contained a lot of unspeakable content. Yun Yan replied that due to the identity of the other party, many methods were inconvenient to use, and the same was true for the prince and the princess. However, Yun Yan was obviously more able to procrastinate, he didn't have that much pressure.

…

After that day was over, Yun Yanhui took another two days' rest, and then returned to the government office to continue to work.

The memorandum submitted a few days ago has received more attention. Therefore, Yun Yanhui’s work focused on participating in the discussion of specific implementation plans. At the same time, in order to appease Zhao Yunchu, every other day, Yun Yanhui would ask Shuangyi to help and bring him into the palace quietly...

Zhao Yuanyan and his wife didn't know at all, Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu met under their noses, thinking that Zhao Yunchu had been shut down.

Zhao Yunchu couldn't go out during the day and read at home, but at night he sentenced Yun Yan to come back to meet, and he even gave birth to some joy.

It's just that you can't always be like this. Yun Yan looked back at the time when a month had passed, so he asked Bao Zheng to go out. He only hinted that Yunchu had asked for a long holiday, and why didn't he come to work.

Bao Zheng also thought about it. Zhao Yunchu, a young man, used to look at things as diligent, but he still committed the old problems of the clan. What place is Kaifeng Mansion used as? He said that he would take a break, and I never heard of any serious illness.

Bao Zheng saw that Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were good friends, so he took him to the palace with him.

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

Zhao Yuanyan and his wife received Bao Zheng, and when they saw Yun Yan who was next to him, they felt mixed in their hearts.

There hasn't been any movement for a month, but it's still here after all. And firstly, he invited Mr. Bao to ask them how to refuse, and I am even more embarrassed to tell the truth.

Zhao Yuanyan had to call out Zhao Yunchu, and Bao Zheng was even more dissatisfied when he saw Zhao Yunchu's ruddy complexion and healthy body.

In the Kaifeng Mansion, he did nothing. What does this mean? If the clan does not want to be an official, the courtiers are still eager, why bother occupying the pit and not shit.

Zhao Yuanyan had no choice but to apologize and told Zhao Yunchu to go to the government office on the day.

Yun Yan didn't say a few words during the whole return, and looked very cautious. Just when he left, he smiled at Zhao Yunchu. Zhao Yunchu was immediately dizzy and asked the princess to see her teeth.

Turning their heads, Wang Hao and Zhao Yuanyan discussed that they wanted to go on as a errand, but the Kaifeng government couldn't take it anymore! Let's transfer, save face, beg the officials to transfer people away, and don't allow Zhao Yunchu to stay outside during get off work hours.

Zhao Yunchu couldn't help but said, "Daddy, Aniang, why bother to come? Where do you move me with your front feet, Brother Yan has also adjusted it, isn't it a waste of time?"

Both Zhao Yuanyan and the princess did not look good, but Zhao Yunchu was telling the truth.

Zhao Yunchu has adjusted a lot, the officials have no objection, and other courtiers have opinions. But Yun Yan returned to his status as just an official, a temporary worker, and there are not so many procedures for transfer, and he is welcome everywhere.

The couple looked at each other, and both felt bitter.

The princess thought to herself, if it fails, she will have to try hard, and book a marriage for Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yuanyan originally disagreed. If he did this, he would be torn apart and there would be no way out. Wouldn't it be wrong to leave a rift with his son in the future.

The couple worked together for a long time, and finally Zhao Yuanyan agreed. They couldn't help it. Although they didn't know that Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were still meeting in private, it seemed that Yun Yan was going back like this.

As a result, the princess wanted to see the ladies of each family, but was often turned down. She was surprised that his son didn't say that he was hot, but he shouldn't be so dismissed, and no one knew he had a habit of breaking his sleeves.

The more she pondered, the more wrong she got, and she went back to talk to Zhao Yuanyan about her experience.

Zhao Yuanyan cursed, "What can't you figure out? Can Brother Yan have this ability?"

No matter how great the face of Yun Yanhui was, he couldn't let the princes and nobles all over the city know why they refused to marry the Prince's Mansion. The truth behind this is extremely scary to think carefully!

The princess is very sad. If there are officials to support them, then they are looking for ordinary women's women, and they can't help it.

If it were not for the deep-rooted concept, the princess would want to scold the emperor. As an emperor, perhaps he felt that he was just a little biased, but it was fatal to the people below.

The busy days caused Zhao Yuanyan and his wife to be exhausted physically and mentally, but they were still ineffective and felt sad.

At this time, Zhao Yunxi and Zhao Yunliang, who had been outside the incident, suddenly found their parents and had a deep conversation. The two of them have always ignored things, and they have a mystery when they come out to speak.

Zhao Yunxi is frail and sickly, but after all, he is the eldest son, he is also prudent, and he speaks more weighty, "Daddy, Niang, and the younger brother, we also see things in our eyes. Now, it's better to let him go."

Zhao Yuanyan looked ugly, "Xier said carefully, you know what he does."

"Since the official has acquiesced, then we can push against it," Zhao Yunxi apparently came prepared, and said lightly, "My boy wants to be more sinister. The official wants to use our house. The Central Government is already very dissatisfied. I will definitely be in the future. The second and third brothers are also very stubborn. Only the fourth brother is possible. Now he is the only one who has experienced in important positions. Then the next generation in our mansion is full of talents, and still maintain the status quo. Okay?"

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

But Zhao Yunxi's words were too blunt, which made Zhao Yuanyan's face even worse. It's not that he couldn't think of this, but he really couldn't let the younger son go astray.

Zhao Yunxi didn't say anything more sinister. He also wanted to ask his parents whether the brothers in their house were mostly absurd, whether they were really born or secretly indulged in order to escape the jealousy of Liu Empress.

They are close relatives of blood, do not know how many pairs of eyes are staring. The old Zhao family, that is also the "family learning origin".

It may not mean that the officials are kind, but these two choices must be good and bad. There will be no catastrophe if you choose the former, but if you choose the latter, you will definitely have more opportunities in the future. It will continue the prosperity of the palace for another generation, and it will depend on the children and grandchildren themselves.

-If you can, 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 also picks. Fortunately, I now have four sons, which are almost enough for my brothers. If he doesn’t like it, I will continue to give birth and he will pick one. …"

Zhao Yuanyan and his wife: "..."

The faces of the two changed and they were very unwilling, but they also knew that fish and bear's paws couldn't have both.

Zhao Yuanyan said with a stern face: "Although you have the intention to serve the country, your ancestors are also watching from the sky! You will be at least a duke in the next four days, and you can be a free clan."

Zhao Yunxi laughed, "Why, if the fourth brother wants to be a happy clan, he is not happy!"

It is now very clear that on the one hand, Zhao Yunchu is allowed to fall in love freely. In the future, if Zhao Yunliang’s child is adopted, he can go further in his official career and serve as the pillar of the palace. On the other hand, Zhao Yunchu was told to return to the right path, marrying a wife and having children, but he would not be happy. It would be hopeless if he was an official, but it should be less reassuring than the former.

Zhao Yuanyan had a very happy life in the first half of his life. However, when he was in his prime, he had to hide himself in the palace, hide his edge, and even pretended to be mad and stupid, without dignity.

Until the officials braved many courtiers to protest and reopened the clan, however, what was lost was irretrievable.

Zhao Yunxi's words caused Zhao Yuanyan to froze for a long time. She glanced at the princess, and found the same emotion in the eyes of his wife. Both of them sighed, it is hard to tell what it was like.

…

In the deep winter, a heavy snow awakened the plum blossoms in Tokyo, and the plum blossoms of Meizhu, Jiangzhou, were first blooming, which was amazing.

To the surprise of the people, the owner of Jiangzhou Meizhu announced the opening of Meilin for three days, allowing the people to come and enjoy the plum blossoms for free.

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

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

There was no snow at that time, and there were many people in the plum forest in Meizhu, Jiangzhou who took advantage of this to open to the nearby to play.

Stepping into the courtyard of Meizhu, Jiangzhou, you can see many of Yunyanhui's relatives and friends, including all classes of government, business, and civilians, and even foreigners.

Yun Yanhui walked over quickly and bowed to Zhao Yuan. Although everyone's relationship has been strained recently, in front of outsiders, Yun Yanhui remained silent and still called his uncle. The corner of his eye saw Zhao Yundi winking, and it was nothing unusual.

Zhao Yuanyan took a closer look at Yun Yanhui, and he could be regarded as watching Yun Yanhui grow up, as if suddenly realized that Yun Yanhui was wrapped in fur clothes, handsome, with handsome features, and the tip of his nose was red with cold, adding a hint of firework. Qi, he is already a young man in his twenties.

After looking sideways, he discovered that the youngest son was actually wearing the same fur clothes. He hadn't even asked about it. He thought it was bought by the princess. Now that I think about it, these two **** should have "privileged" them. Right.

Zhao Yuanyan smiled helplessly, sighed, grabbed Yun Yanhui's hand and squeezed, and said inaudibly, "Don't call me uncle anymore."

Yun Yan raised his eyes back, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he knew why Zhao Yundi winked, and Zhao Yunchu also had a hint of embarrassment on his face.

This family seemed to have acquired a certain tacit understanding in a whisper, especially the juniors, who were all unbearably excited, watching Yun Yan 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.

Zhao Yuanyan and the princess looked a little unnatural after hearing this claim, but they gradually relaxed, and coughed a few times, "The plum blossoms... are blooming well."

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

There were also many acquaintances in the pavilion. Zhao Yuanyan's family came in and soon found his circle and integrated into it.

Yun Yan returned to settle the guests, and secretly took Zhao Yunchu upstairs. They didn't say a word to each other, but they had a sense of mutual understanding.

The two climbed to the top floor of the viewing pavilion, got into the unmanned window-facing compartment, and looked out from the wide open window to get a panoramic view of the vast snow scene in a radius of tens of miles. The large plum groves under the attic are full of red, red, white and white. The beauty is beautiful, and the faint plum fragrance is refreshing.

Looking down, I don’t know which academy’s young scholars break their branches and chant poems, they are very romantic; newly married couples walk hand in hand in the Meilin, and they are affectionate; the hawkers in Tsing Yi and black coats, taking advantage of the great business opportunities, sell snacks around; the painter of the Hanlin Academy of Painting We were inspired and painted with ink; the little novice monk of Daxiangguo Temple used snow to build a naive Maitreya Buddha in the courtyard; Bai Yutang hugged melons and jumped down from the third floor, causing Shen Kuo to shout upstairs. …

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

Yun Yan regained his gaze, smiled unconsciously at the corner of his mouth, turned his head to look at each other with Zhao Yunchu, hugged and kissed.

I don't know when outside the window, a fine snow floated, indicating a good future for the coming year.
