The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Yun Yan returned from Zhao Yunchu's place, and still felt a little uneasy after thinking about it, so he went to Zhao Yundi and wanted him to look at Zhao Yunchu more these days.

Zhao Yundi is molesting his young man.

How should I put it, because of his hobby, the people around him were chosen by the princess again and again, and he promised that they would never be picked up by him. But even if Zhao Yundi can't get it on hand, he still likes to have a dry addiction.

When he saw Yun Yan coming back, he said "Hey", letting go of his loyal and unyielding young man, and changed to smile back at Yun Yan.

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yan pretended that he hadn't seen anything, and told him to make him look at Zhao Yunchu more.

Zhao Yundi looked at Yun Yanhui suspiciously. He really wouldn't care about his brother's state if he was fine, so unlike the princess, he still knew that Zhao Yunchu was in a bad mood these few days.

But when Yun Yan returned to this state, it was easy for him to doubt it.

Yun Yan didn't intend to hide it, but directly told Zhao Yundi, and said: "You have to be responsible."

Zhao Yundi: "..."

What does it matter to him?

Yun Yan replied: "It's all your bad example."

Zhao Yundi said with a sullen face: "I haven't had time to be an example, I haven't moved you."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Zhao Yundi: "If he really learned from me, he wouldn't be like this!"

Yun Yan felt so tired back, and was too lazy to talk to this asshole, "Anyway, you should take care of your little brother."

Although he thinks that Zhao Yundi is a bad role model, there is one thing that Zhao Yundi is very good, that is, he sees clearly, no matter what he is put into, he seems to be very happy every day.

Yun Yanhui sometimes feels that although his life content is different from that of Zhao Yundi, maybe the happiness value is the same. If Zhao Yundi can infect Zhao Yunchu, that would be great.

...

When Yun Yan went back, he was still standing outside the yard, and he smelled the scent of cooking cakes.

Well, it's definitely mince.

The neighbors passing by also drooled and said, "Da Lang, are you steaming cooking cakes again?"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Alas, fortunately, his surname is not Wu.

"Yeah, my mother is steaming..." Yun Yan went back into the house and found that the staple food tonight is indeed cooking cakes, which are almost ready to be steamed, and there is nothing to help him.

Yun Yan took out the two wooden boxes back, and before Shuang Yi came back, he gave Zheng Ping to her first.

Zheng Ping was picking up the cooking cake, Yun Yan pulled out the necklace and hung it around her neck from behind, "Aniang, give it to you."

Zheng Ping lowered her head and was almost startled by the Da Beizhu inside, "Where did it come from?"

"...Aniang, why does the tone seem like I have done something bad?" Yun Yan replied depressedly, "Isn't the person who entrusted the delegation to buy seeds from Liao State? By the way, he also took two Beizhu beads and took them. I hit two kinds of jewelry."

Zheng Ping was surprised for a while. Yun Yanhui never told her that there is still such a thing. Women love beauty, not to mention it was given by her son. Zheng Ping immediately left the cooking cakes and ran to look in the mirror.

Yun Yanhui quickly took over and picked out all the cooking cakes.

Zheng Ping likes this look very much. After reading it for a while, she can buy some new cloth and make some new clothes.

Yun Yan knew back that this was not going to end. After Zheng Ping finished her clothes, she would find that new shoes and other accessories should also be matched, and so on...

But it’s good to enjoy these pleasures, not like Shuangyi.

As I was thinking, Shuangyi also came back. Today, I was wearing men's clothing, but I used a plain silver hairpin to hold the blue silk behind his head, and he was also dressed plainly.

Yun Yan returned the jewelry to Shuangyi, watched Shuangyi play with it, and asked: "Are you thinking in your heart now that you don't have the chance to wear it at all. It's too easy to lose pleasure and it's inconvenient to move?"

The design of accessories like these was originally intended for those ladies who behave very delicately.

Shuang Yi smirked, "There will be, there will be, I will find a chance to wear it."

Yun Yan glared at her back, "It's best to be like this." Don't forget to make a few sets for Shuangyi when you call Zheng Ping to make clothes.

...

A few days later, Zheng Ling went to Kaifeng Mansion to find Yun Yan back, and asked him out for dinner.

On weekdays, I would eat in the cafeteria, but I went out to eat today. Naturally, Zheng Ling couldn't restrain his curiosity and wanted to take the opportunity to ask Yunyan about Zhao Yunchu's return.

The two of them randomly found a restaurant near Kaifeng Mansion, ordered some food and drink, and talked while eating.

Zheng Ling asked, Yun Yan knew that he was not a fool, he must understand, and told him not to worry, he had already convinced Zhao Yunchu, and Zhao Yunchu was now working hard to come out.

Zheng Ling was speechless, "... actually so obedient."

It was incredible, but thinking that Zhao Yunchu really listened to Yan Ge'er on weekdays, it wasn't that difficult to accept. But Zheng Ling is a little doubtful, can things like feelings really "work hard" to change it?

But looking at Yun Yanhui's belief, Zheng Ling didn't say anything.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a lot of helplessness in each other's eyes, and they touched their glasses together.

They all grew up together, who knew that something like this would happen?

Zheng Ling didn't know that Zhao Yunchu had kissed Yun Yan back a long time ago. He thought that it was the Yun Yan Hui Zhong Gu that was exposed this time, but Yun Yanhui had discovered it long ago.

The two clinked glasses for a drink, but a new customer came in.

This person is tall, wearing a moon-white flower cloak, a crimson lining robe, and soap-colored official boots on his feet. This dress is really only described by the word Sao Bao, and it is easy for ordinary people to look greasy, especially this person. He has clear eyes and a very handsome face. However, his temperament is very cold and sharp.

Many customers in the store have noticed him, and there is no way, it is too eye-catching.

Yun Yanhui also glanced at it, and then muttered in his heart, such a style, but I haven't seen it in Bianjing or heard of it, outsider ——

Yun Yanhui also counted countless people, and one glance at it basically confirmed that this person should not be an ordinary person.

Not to mention anything else, if he is willing to rely on his face to eat, he will probably already be rich...

The doctor in the shop led the man to a seat, and then gave him the name of the dish.

The hall was so big, and this person didn't deliberately lower the volume, so Yun Yanhui could easily hear his words: "Bring me hot aged Shaojiu--is there any fish?"

The doctor nodded hurriedly.

Yun Yanhui affirmed his previous thoughts in his heart, this person is indeed a foreigner, and his accent can be heard.

This guest: "Let me see the wine first, and the fish will also come up. I want to choose."

Yun Yan heard back and felt that this was a very picky guest.

The doctor apparently noticed this, and quickly took a jug of wine, opened a bowl, and poured it out.

The guest's outstanding face suddenly showed a disgusting expression, "The color is not strong enough, and the fragrance is slightly weaker. Is this the best?"

The doctor scolded the wine back, and went to the wine cellar to get a new one.

The guests found that Chen Shao was indeed the best, and he was satisfied.

It’s not enough. The doctor has to go to the back kitchen to scoop out the fish in a basin. The fish inside are fat and big. The largest fish is more than two catties. The doctor also boasted: "You came just right, this is authentic The grass fish, lively, can be killed right away."

The guest glanced at him like an idiot: "Hehuayu? Is it from last year?"

The doctor choked, "Uh..."

Guest: "The fry will be sown along with the rice. This season has just started sowing, and a small fry will grow in the rice field for a few months, at most, it will grow to slap at most. You harvested it last year and continued to raise it. ?"

The doctor nodded stupidly, "Well, that's right."

The guest raised his red lips and sneered, "But now the Hehua fish in Daxiangguo Temple has been raised for so long, and they are already black and shiny. Isn't this an ordinary carp?"

The doctor then realized that the person in front of him was not an ordinary foreign customer, but a very knowledgeable person. Even the local guests around him looked up to the excitement and made a fuss, so he didn't dare to be fooled anymore and honestly recognized it.

The visitor didn’t care about him, took a sip of wine without looking at him, and said lightly: “Just here, kill the biggest one, so that you don’t steal it. After killing, take it and burn it, remember to Put a little sugar and mushrooms inside. They must be fresh and tender. They must be larger than two coins. Be sure to wash them clean."

The doctor heard the Venus star with both eyes, and then wrote it down, wondering where the guest came from, and why it was so difficult.

However, as soon as he saw the guest, his feet were a little weak and he dared not obey him. He hurried to the kitchen, ordered them one by one, and ordered the dishes. After he brought them back, the difficult guest slapped him generously. After rewarding him for more than a hundred essays, the doctor rejoiced in his heart.

The guest tasted this dry roasted carp, the thick sauce wrapped the tender fish, and the tender and plump shiitake mushrooms. After eating a few bites, he said with restraint, "It's fine."

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and boasted again: "That is, let's tell you, our chef has a relationship with the master chef of Kaifeng Mansion chef, and the master also pointed him to him on weekdays."

As for this, anyone who believes is a fool.

Nowadays, I don’t know how much the catering industry in Bianjing City has a relationship with the chefs of Kaifeng Prefecture. The reason why they are all around is of course fear of Kaifeng. It's dinner.

The local people don't believe it because of the twists and turns like this, but the outsiders will still be a little interested.

But the doctor seems to have forgotten again, the customer in front of him is very picky about what he eats, and he knows well.

After listening to the doctor's words, the guest said very harshly: "If this is the case, then the chef of Kaifeng Mansion might be worthless."

Doctor: "..."

Many other customers who heard it laughed loudly and didn't give it to the store at all.

Yun Yanhui and Zheng Ling on the side looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

They have never been to this restaurant before, but they have also met people in other stores who claim to have some connection with the chef of Kaifeng Prefecture. They have even heard of the relationship of eating in the same place, but they have all Just laugh it off, it's impossible to be true to others.

It was this guest who was speechless.

This was a trivial matter. Yun Yan didn't even think about it. He chatted with Zheng Ling for a while before returning to Kaifeng Mansion.

——

Early the next morning, Yun Yan went back to the Yamen yawning and met Gongsun Ce during breakfast.

Gongsun Ce looked awake, and Yun Yan asked him back: "Sir, did you steal the chicken last night?"

Gongsun Ce glared at him, "It's too early to get up today."

Yun Yan returned to good faith and changed his words: "Pick up eggs in the morning?"

Gongsun Ce: "..."

Gongsun Ce looked around, told him to come over, and whispered: "Earlier, Lord Fu Zun was going to the court, but found a steel knife in the room that I didn't know where it came from!"

Yun Yan took a sigh of relief, "What illegal organization is so brash, that it dares to threaten the palace?"

Hearing this, Yun Yan turned his head back and thought that it was like sending bullets and blades to people in modern times, but he thought it was incredible. In addition to Pang Taishi, there are people who have the courage to threaten Bao Zheng? And even if it is Taishi Pang, they don't play threats, but directly start...

Gongsun Ce shook his head, "It's half right, it's not a complete threat. The steel knife is attached to the Cambodian post, and it says injustice. It's here to avenge people's injustice."

Yun Yan turned his scalp to numb, "Is it written in blood? It's not the ghost again..."

Such a hostile way always feels terrible, don't you want to avenge your life?

"It's written in ink. Fu Zun rushed to the upper court, and left it to the lower court to check, but he called me to investigate..." Gongsun Ce said quietly, looking as though he hadn't slept, "I haven't See what you can see. You can go with me later."

"Oh, good." Yun Yan responded. After finishing the porridge and fried dough sticks, he went to Bao Zheng's room with Gongsun Ce to see the steel knife.

Yun Yan looked back and saw that the steel knife was nothing more than a cold light. There were indeed four words on the next post, "Yan Chasan was wronged", but the words were very muscular. I don't know who Yan Chasan was and was wronged. Where.

Yun Yan looked back at the post carefully and heard Gongsun Ce say from the side, "Look, the lower left corner is a bit stained, like oil stains."

Yun Yan looked back intently, and sure enough there was a bit of oil stains.

He tilted his head for a moment, and suddenly put the post under his nose to sniff.

Gongsun Ce watched with folded arms and joked: "Good hound."

Yun Yan heard back for a long time, and really smelled something wrong. He seriously said to Gongsun Ce: "It wasn't done outside. If the person who posted this post is a person in our house, it is this person first. I stole our secret sauce roast duck in the kitchen and came here..."

Gongsun Ce was embarrassed, "Is it really smelled? It shouldn't be from our mansion. If the man in the mansion wants to avenge grievances and just go to the master, then this person is really... Is it so leisurely?"

It's more than leisure, it's madness, okay? After having a meal in the kitchen, he put the knife and the copybook over again. This behavior was maddeningly endless. Otherwise, how could Yun Yanhui feel that it was not like redressing justice, like a threat from the underworld.

"More importantly, there is a night patrol in our mansion. Although last night was not the guard watch, but under such circumstances, this person was actually connected to the two important places in the kitchen and the mansion house, and no one found it. That's great." Yun Yan said, touching his chin back, "Fortunately, he was only here to steal food. If he came to kill, we wouldn't be able to find out if he died."

"Exactly." Gongsun Ce is also deeply worried about this. "However, we don't know the origin of this person, only the name'Yan Chasan'. Since he is advocating for Yan Chasan, he must have something to do with Yan Chasan. Yan Chasan checked it out, maybe there were some clues."

"Then how to find Yan Chasan?"

"Since he has redressed his grievances, he will certainly appear naturally." Gongsun Ce said with his hands behind his back, "Wait, you should be able to know who Yan Chasan is before today. It's just that Zhan guards need to patrol strictly these days. Shou."

Yun Yan replied: "Ah, the one who keeps the knife won't dare to come again, right?"

Gongsun Ce glanced at him, "One, this person is a lunatic, even if we guard strictly, he will break in. Second, even if there is nothing else, how can you be sure that this thief will not come to steal food again?"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Well, it makes sense.

...

As Gongsun Ce said, within a day, "Yan Chasan" had been identified.

After Bao Zheng went to court, he returned to the yamen. As soon as he arrived at the door, someone rushed out and shouted injustice, claiming to be the "Yan Chasan" child servant, saying that his master was accused of murder, but he was innocent.

As soon as Bao Zheng heard that it was Yan Chasan's case, he naturally paid attention, and took the boy servant back to the mansion for interrogation, and called Gongsun Ce to listen.

Because Yun Yanhui listened to the previous episode and didn't want to be overkill, he followed and hid in the back room to eavesdrop.

Only then did I know that this child servant came from Xiangfu County, which is one of the Chi counties under Kaifeng Mansion. His master was in the home of relatives in Xiangfu County. Who knew that one day there would be a government servant. When he came to get people, he said that his master had killed the maidservant of the lady in the mansion. His master actually recognized it and made him puzzled, because they stayed together and the master clearly didn't kill anyone.

Most of the slaves and maids at this time were under the employment system, and there were free bodies, and they were also good citizens, at least in the legal sense. Even if the parents owe debts and have no money, they have no right to sell their children as slaves, otherwise they will be punished, and the production of a large number of slaves will be inhibited. The real slaves have no status.

Because of this, the servant girl who belonged to the good people was killed, and the murderer had to pay for his life.

However, Bao Zheng only took care of the trial and asked people to pick up people in Xiangfu County, but did not ask about the strongman last night, making Yun Yanhui even more curious.

Since the two masters and servants came to Kaifeng with only one relative, and they falsely accused them, could the person who helped them be just a passing foodie...Ah no, master?
