The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

During the Spring Festival, the city was full of lights, as bright as daylight, and the royal family members enjoyed themselves with the people and went to the Daxiangguo Temple to watch the lights.

Sitting in the shed, Zhao Yunchu couldn't help but look at Yun Yanhui's place—he was thinking about the appointment he made with Yun Yan today.

Yun Yan is back there on duty. Recently, there is a shortage of manpower, so he inevitably has to share some of it. Fortunately, I adjusted it early, and when it was not too late, I handed over the shift, winked at Zhao Yunchu, and walked away.

Zhao Yunchu also stood up solemnly, "Aniang, I went down to look at the lights. I can't see clearly when I sit here."

The princess smiled and said: "Go, you young people, just like the excitement."

Zhao Yundi followed and stood up, "Aniang, then I too..."

The princess changed her face immediately, "Sit down!"

Zhao Yundi: "..."

How could the princess rest assured that he would leave, the official family would leave the palace, and the guards would **** him along the way, Zhou Huilin was not among them yet.

…

Zhao Yunchu worked in Daxiangguo Temple all the year round and was familiar with it. When he went to a remote courtyard, he saw Yun Yan standing in a silhouette on a corner. He walked forward lightly and hugged Yun Yan back. Brother Yan!"

Zhao Yunchu was full of lovesickness and wanted to narrate, but Yun Yan pushed back with a slap on his face.

Zhao Yunchu looked aggrievedly, and saw Yun Yan turned back with a look of horror. Suddenly he felt something wrong. He looked down, but Yun Yan turned back to the other side and stood side by side with three children. All of them looked up and stared. Them.

Zhao Yunchu: "..."

Zhao Yunchu recognized two of them, Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Youwu, and another girl who was about the same age as Zhao Zongshi, and he had never seen them.

He asked Yun Yan in a low voice, "Why did they follow? Where are the guards?"

Yun Yan was still in shock, looked at the side, "Standing outside there..." With a bitter expression on his face, he told Zhao Yunchu that he was about to sneak up and meet with Zhao Yunchu, who knew he was caught by Zhao Zongshi.

Zhao Zongshi took Zhao Youwu, and another little girl, Cao Miaolian's niece Gao Taotao, the future Queen of Yingzong, he and Renzong said that he wanted to play in the monastery, so Renzong called a team of guards and asked them to play.

Yun Yan felt back that it was wrong to raise a child like this! As an emperor, raising children is a bit of a battle. Even if there are many forbidden troops in the temple today, you can't just let them go! Most importantly, it is wrong to disturb someone on a date!

Yun Yan was unhappy, and Zhao Yunchu was unhappy. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of resentment.

Zhao Zongshi pulled Yun Yan back, "Yan Fei, I'm hungry, you can take me to pull out the radish and eat it."

"Why didn't you eat more cakes just now?" Yun Yan couldn't help crying or laughing, "Where are there carrots now... Your Highness, are you hungry?"

Zhao Youwu shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Yun Yan looked back at Gao Taotao, and Gao Taotao nodded consciously, "I am a little hungry too..."

Yun Yan replied speechlessly, "Let's... go to the kitchen first."

Yun Yan brought them back to the kitchen in the yard and found it. The ingredients in it were all raw, but there were a bunch of chestnuts.

Anyway, I was entangled by the bear children, so I had a good time, so I took the chestnuts out and prepared to roast them. Cold weather is a good time to eat chestnuts.

The greening of Daxiangguo Temple is well done. There are trees everywhere. The monks sweep the fallen leaves every day, piles after piles. Yunyan gathers a pile of fallen leaves, lights them up, and starts roasting chestnuts.

These children, who have played with this before, are nervous and irritated when they see Yun Yan returning to a fire.

"Brother, what is this?" Zhao Youwu asked.

Yun Yan replied, "...Your family has a big business, haven't you eaten chestnuts?"

Not only Zhao Youwu, Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao are also very confused, "Aren't chestnuts yellow?"

Yun Yan understood, they had only seen chestnuts peeled clean, so they said, "This is a chestnut with a shell. When it grows on a tree, there is still a layer of burrs on the outside. Only when the shell is peeled, the chestnut is yellow. "

Zhao Zongshi realized this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but he diverted his attention after a while.

"Will you burn the house?"

"How long will the chestnuts be roasted?"

"My mother said I can't play with fire all the time, and will wet the bed at night..."

Zhao Zongshi was very restless. Yun Yan went back and grabbed the fire and chestnuts. He asked Zhao Yunchu, "Uncle, did you make an appointment with Yan Fei to come here and have fun?"

Zhao Yunchu said unhappily: "Originally you didn't come, we were going to do some fun things, but we can't do it now, so I am very unhappy, Shisan Lang, don't talk to me."

When Zhao Zongshi heard that there was something more fun than roasting chestnuts in life, he pulled Zhao Yunchu: "What is it, I want to play too!"

"You can't play," Zhao Yunchu picked up Zhao Zongshi, put it to the other side, and sat down beside Yun Yan's back. "We'll get rid of them later..."

"The hero sees the same thing," Yun Yan whispered back, "When the chestnuts are finished roasting, we will run while they eat the chestnuts..."

The tongue of fire licked the fruit, letting its shell crack open, and the faint fragrance diffused.

Yun Yan filled the chestnuts with a bowl, "It's still very hot, so I can't eat it yet."

Because the three children kept jumping up to look at the chestnuts in the bowl, Yun Yanhui had to raise his hands a little more. After a while, he tried to test the temperature before putting the bowl down.

Zhao Zongshi squeezed a chestnut, started from the crack, and peeled it away. Huang Cancan's chestnut meat was thoroughly cooked, but it was roasted so that the edges were a little burnt. Zhao Zongshi didn't care. It was fragrant and powdery with a bit of bitterness when it was eaten in one bite.

Although Zhao Youwu was curious, he didn't dare to do it first. He stared wide-eyed and watched Zhao Zongshi ate one, and then laughed, "Shisan Lang's mouth is black!"

The chestnut was so dark that it naturally contaminated Zhao Zongshi's hands and mouth.

Zhao Zongshi felt very brave, "It's black if it's black!"

Zhao Youwu and Gao Taotao also stretched out their little hands and took the chestnuts and peeled them by themselves. If they couldn't peel them, they would ask Zhao Zongshi to help. Zhao Zongshi regained his masculinity in his small body when facing his two younger sisters, and did his best to help.

Yun Yan wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but he didn't want Zhao Youwu's dress to float, and a hole licked by the flames.

Yun Yan turned out annoyed and put out the fire, thinking that he knew that the chestnuts should be extinguished after roasting. After seeing the conspicuous hole in Zhao Youwu’s skirt, after thinking for a long time, he took out the sewing kit from his arms...Fortunately, he didn’t know how to convulse. Brought this.

Another veil was requisitioned from Zhao Yunchu, and Yun Yan returned to the scene to patch Zhao Youwu.

While eating chestnuts, Zhao Youwu watched Yunyan's flying needle run in a daze, "What is this?"

As for the patch, she naturally hadn't seen it before. In the palace, even palace people don't have to wear patched clothes, at least they don't have them on their coats, and she can't see how frugal they are in private.

"I'll make up for you...otherwise it would be bad if there is a hole leaking the air." Yun Yan replied, "You remember to change your clothes when you go back." Fortunately these years, the nobles always carry at least one set of clothes for replacement, so Yun Yan didn't think there was a big problem either.

Zhao Youwu was quite happy, "Brother, you are really amazing, this one is so beautiful!"

Zhao Youwu is also obsessed with everything Yun Yanhui does, and feels that the patches he applied are particularly designed.

Zhao Zongshi also yelled: "Goose Fei, why can you still embroider?"

Yun Yan returned to the black thread, "This is not embroidering, it's just stitching!"

Zhao Zongshi: "Then you can embroider?"

"No!" Yun Yan replied decisively denied, tied the thread, snapped it off, and put away the sewing kit, "Um... let's have a drink."

Yun Yan took Zhao Yunchu back and pretended to go to the kitchen to drink water. In fact, he jumped out of the window and greeted the guards outside the yard, saying that they had resigned, and told them to look at the three nobles and send them back later. .

Those guards went inside without knowing it, and only when Zhao Youwu was in charge of them asking seniors did they find that Yun Yan had come back and cheated.

It was not too early at this time, the three ate the chestnuts, and the rest were walking around, and went back to see their parents.

Renzong and Empress Cao were enjoying the lights intimately and affectionately, when they suddenly saw Chen Lin sneakingly leading the three of Zhao Youwu to the side, they called him and asked them to come over.

Chen Lin originally saw the princess like this and wanted to take her to change her clothes. Who knew that she was stopped by the official, so she had no choice but to walk over.

It's okay to be a little farther away, but when he was closer, Renzong was stunned after seeing it clearly.

His daughters, nephews, and nieces, all of which are carved and jade, all have black stains on their faces, and there are also a lot of hands and bodies, and their hair is a little messy. All these can be said that the child may be unstable and fall down. Kind of...

However, his daughter, there was a huge patch on her beautiful dress! What is going on here? !

Cao Miaolian was also messed up in the wind, "I just haven't seen it for a while, how can I follow..."

Like the three little beggars? She was really embarrassed to say the following words.

Zhao Zongshi was very loyal, and when he saw something wrong, he didn't confess Yun Yan back and said: "Official, I took my sisters to roast chestnuts for fun!"

Zhao Youwu also held her father's leg and said, "Daddy, the roasted chestnuts are delicious, and I brought them to you." She took out a dirty roasted chestnut from her arms and wanted to peel it to Renzong to eat.

Renzong was heartbroken and moved, and couldn't bear to blame, "Is it? I haven't eaten such a delicacy... Thank you Xiaoba."

Renzong took a bite of chestnuts, which turned out to be particularly fragrant. He thought while eating. Originally, he thought they would definitely go to Yunyan to go back there to play together, so he was quite relieved.

But it’s not right... Although Xiaoba has a patch, it’s actually not ugly. The stitches are so fine that they can’t be seen from a distance. They are exquisite craftsmanship. They are all guards. How can they have such skill? What?

Renzong then asked, "You Wu, who sewed this patch?"

Zhao Youwu's eyes drifted away, "I don't know..."

A moment ago, she didn't even know what the patch was, or how to compile it to Renzong.

Renzong thought she was saying that she didn't know who the patcher was, so she thought to herself, could it be that there was a passing teacher? The craftsmanship is pretty good!

…

The versatile Yun Yanhui was having a tryst with Zhao Yunchu at this time, and the two of them were drilling in the woods for me and me.

A princess, a future emperor, and a future queen, after throwing them away, Yun Yan wondered if he was also a little bit in love...

Zhao Yunchu hugged Yunyan back and gnawed for a while, very excited, "Brother Yan, first the official said that I did a good job at Dali Temple and can transfer me to Kaifeng Mansion."

When Yun Yan heard it back, he held Zhao Yunchu's face and rubbed it for a while, "Good job!"

Zhao Yunchu would definitely not stay in Kaifeng Mansion for long. Renzong said that he would be transferred to Kaifeng Mansion, not to mention helping him and Yunyan go back to the "reunion", but to pave the way for him in the future.

Zhao Yunchu lowered his head, buried his head in Yunyan's neck, and shouted, "Brother..."

Yun Yan suddenly felt numb when he returned.

I haven't heard this name for a long time. When they were young, the two practiced together occasionally, and Zhao Yunchu called him senior brother. Now that I hear this title again, it's a bit of a role-playing pleasure.

Yun Yan pulled Zhao Yunchu up, turned his body on the tree, touched his hand down, and kissed his mouth a few times, "Good brother, brother, let you learn knowledge..."

…

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu walked out of the woods with serious faces and walked out together.

After returning, Renzong had already driven back to the palace.

Yun Yan listened to the Kaifeng government official who was driving along and said that the princess didn't know where to go to play, and the clothes instantly changed from new to old, and even the patches came out. The official was not very happy.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu looked at each other, feeling a drop of sweat falling off the back of their heads, "Hahaha...Is it..."
