The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

When the little tiger was resting, he ran back to Yunyan, and his classmates followed behind, but they didn't dare to approach.

Yun Yan picked up the little tiger back, "Have you called someone?"

The little tiger still remembers Ran. Yun Yan took him back to see Ran, and now he lay on Yun Yan's shoulders and shouted: "Hello, abbot..."

With a clear smile, he touched the little tiger's head, held his wrist in his hand, and then let go for a while, "The child is in good health."

Yun Yan knew that he had just taken the opportunity to show the little tiger a little while ago, hugged the little tiger a little, and the classmates who were at the little tiger beckoned and called them all.

These children looked at Shi Gaobi and his very alike brother, they were very strange. And Shi Gaobi's older brother looked much more friendly than Shi Gaobi, so he asked them questions one by one.

"Brother! Will you go to Jinmingchi during the Duanyang Festival?"

"We will all go to play, let Shi Gaobi go too!"

"Little tiger, everyone ask you to go out to play? Are you going?" Yun Yan smiled back and asked little tiger's opinion.

Unexpectedly, this moment, let everyone talk about it.

"Little tiger, Shi Gaobi's nickname is Little Tiger?"

"Yeah, so cute..."

The little tiger suddenly felt a little awkward. Although this was his name, he felt a little embarrassed to hear these people discussing. He turned his head and said, "No, no!"

"Really not going? Jinming Pool during the Duanyang Festival is a lot of fun. Have you ever seen a water puppet show?" Yun Yan teased the little tiger back, "If you don't, I will go alone?"

The little tiger held back for a long time, and suddenly said: "So you don't bring Chu Ge? That's okay!" He didn't go, and it was not cheap Zhao Yunchu.

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Of course, in the end, the little tiger still agreed to go play. Every festive season, Bianjing banquets will be held together, so there are no children who don't love it.

…

The May Festival arrived quietly. From the first day of the first day to the fifth day of the day, all kinds of festive items such as longevity strands, fragrant candy seeds, zongzi, etc. were bought and sold on the streets during this time.

Yun Yan searched the market for a long time before he found seven-pointed mugwort leaves. He bought a lot of them and hung a bunch on the door. The rest boiled water and bathed the little tiger, which can dispel dampness and avoid evil spirits.

This is a custom that has been passed down from generation to generation. Before he traveled back, Yun Yan used Aiye water to bathe when he was a child, and it was the same after the crossing. At that time, he felt inexplicably moved.

The color of mugwort water is dark and it has a strong smell of mugwort. Yun Yan returned to the little tiger to wash his head and body. The little tiger kept holding his breath with a bitter face, "What a big smell!"

"You won't be bitten by mosquitoes after taking a bath, be good." Yun Yan wrapped the little tiger in a big towel and carried him onto the bed.

The little tiger sniffed himself, "Is this smoking the mosquitoes away?"

"Yes!" Yun Yan put on his clothes back, and tied a five-colored long-life wisp on his wrist.

"What is this?" The Miao people don't have this custom during the Dragon Boat Festival, so the little tiger doesn't know what the longevity thread is for.

"This is called a longevity thread. You can get rid of the disaster after you put it on. Don't tear it off by yourself." Yun Yan explained back to the little tiger, "Also, sister Shuangyi will take you to Jinmingchi tomorrow..."

The little tiger widened his eyes, "Brother won't accompany me?"

"It's not..." Yun Yan looked back erratic, "It's just a different path from you..."

…

This year's Duanyang Festival, Kaifeng Mansion paid more attention to it than in previous years.

In the past, every time I went to Duanyang, Jinming Pool, one of the imperial gardens, would hold a series of activities. Jinming Pond is man-made and used to train naval forces in the past. When the first emperor reigned, he began to allow the people to go in and play regularly.

Among those activities during the Duanyang period, the most popular one should be the dragon boat race. In addition, there are hundreds of performances such as water battles, water puppets, and water swings.

Only this year, I don't know who made the bad idea. It is actually stipulated that the court's lawsuits in Beijing should also participate in the dragon boat race. As for which departments and groups take turns, which group is drawn first.

Kaifeng Mansion was drawn to the competition.

Imagine that Kaifeng Mansion wanted to maintain the security of the whole city. If the people saw that they were defeated in a dragon boat race, wouldn’t it be very imperious?

Bao Zheng personally gave instructions and must pay attention to it and get a good ranking.

People like Zhan Zhao, Wushu, Kaifeng Mansion F4 and even Zhao Yunchu are undoubtedly the main force. But what Yun Yan thought was incredible...why did you want to pull him up too? !

Zhan Zhao: "Fifty people are needed, so let's take part in Yan Ge'er."

Yun Yan replied: "I won't participate! Why do you want me to participate!"

Yun Yanhui was very sad and indignant, and showed them his stature. Although men didn't want to admit that he was "no", he really felt that he might be pulling back.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I have already visited in advance," Bai Yutang said triumphantly, "There are 20 teams in total, and the other teams are not as good as us. We can win even if we bring a chicken up there."

This Yunyan back is stronger than a chicken, right?

Zhao Yunchu: "Actually, it was Mr. Gongsun who said that I am afraid that other teams will use the plan and need to bring a ‘military division’."

"The reason is almost the same..." Yun Yan retorted for a moment, "For the victory of Kaifeng Mansion, I'd better go. Thinking about it, it is indeed dangerous. I heard that Yushitai will also participate this time. The stamina of those Yushi is not very good. Well, what if they slap in the mouth and affect us?"

And with Zhao Yunchu here, one can at least support two.

Therefore, every day Yun Yanhui takes time to rehearse with other people. In this rowing, cooperation and rhythm are very important. It is not a group of masters who can win.

Yun Yan went back to Jinming Pond to survey the terrain, and then went to Yushitai and other places to inquire about their practice.

It's a pity that everyone was very welcome when I saw him in the past, but now that they all drive him away, they all believe in their hearts that he is here to spy on the military.

…

When the Jinming Pool was opened, Shuangyi and his wife took the little tiger to go together.

Jinming Pond can be said to be a water garden. There is a floating palace on the artificial island in the middle of the pond, where you can enjoy the scenery of Jinming Pond.

Today, the official’s visit will watch the water battle show, and the shore is also full of tourists, in order to see all kinds of wonderful water shows.

Shuangyi and the others arrived a little late. At this time, they could already see a painting boat on the pond, and a swing on the boat.

Cheers sounded from the shore, and they soared as the hundreds of opera artists went higher and higher on the swings.

These are all Bianjing people who are familiar with routines. Shen Kuo also clapped desperately when he saw Shuangyi, and said, "Don't make mistakes, this is a swing."

"What is the water swing?" As soon as the little tiger's voice fell, he saw the hundreds of opera artists swinging the swing almost level with the overhead, and then let go at the highest point of the swing!

Many people who came here for the first time gave out exclamations, and more of them were applause and cheers.

The hundreds of opera entertainers threw themselves on the swing, stretched their bodies in the air, turned several somersaults, stretched his arms like water, and splashed big water.

After a few breaths, a person emerged from the gradually calm water wave and waved to everyone.

It was only a moment of stagnation, and the atmosphere on the scene reached a small climax. The visitors clapped desperately, like a mountain whistling a tsunami.

Shen Kuo was deeply impressed by this and he repeatedly admired: "It's really daring to be a master of art. It is very difficult to swing the swing so high. It is very human to have to dive at the top and make all kinds of moves!"

"The first time I saw Ge Yan and I were shocked. At that time, we all thought it was just an ordinary swing. When the artist was swinging very high, we all thought it was a show of meat. Who knows? He actually let go of diving. We all misunderstood that something went wrong. He dropped his hand and fell. It was not until he came out of the water and the audience shouted in unison that we realized that this performance was actually like this." Shuang Yi recalled the past, revealing A faint smile.

"If I hadn't heard about this way of acting earlier, I would have misunderstood it." Shen Kuo sighed, and fortunately, the moment he watched people let go and fly out, he still made his heart beat faster.

Shen Kuo worked hard again, "Speaking of Ge Yan, when will they start the game?"

"It should be at noon," Shuang Yi looked around and pointed to a place, "Look, to the east of the Water Palace, is that they?"

Facing the rows of dragon boats on the east side of the water hall, they are the boats used by the dragon boats to compete for the bid, and Yunyan Hui and they are standing in the water shed on the shore.

The little tiger raised his hand in Shen Kuo's arms and shouted, "Brother!"

…

No matter how many times I watch it, the water swing can bring Yun Yan back a sense of shock. He had seen people diving up close before, and he had also seen people swinging on a very high swing, but the combination of the two had never seen him before, and the level of excitement felt that it had doubled.

At this moment, Yun Yan turned his head back suddenly, "I think I can hear the voice of a little tiger."

However, the scene was loud and crowded, and he could not find the trace of the little tiger.

"What kind of tigers do you care about? Look at those Yushi, why is there a particularly tall person?" Bai Yutang pointed to the Yushitai team. There was indeed a very tall person there, at least nearly two meters tall.

"I don't know. They didn't reveal their lineup to me." Yun Yan glanced back, and suddenly understood, "Wait, I see... I rely on, what a chicken thief!"

Yun Yan pointed back to the benchmark in the water, which was hung with brocades, silver bowls, and other objects. Later, they drew boats to compete for bids. These were the things they were fighting for. Different objects represented different rankings.

"Don't you think... this benchmark is really high?"

Everyone, it really is!

"The bidding is not a race. To get the first place, you can't just get there first, you have to win the prize." Yun Yan replied, "They must buy someone and raise the bar, so the chances of getting the place are also high. It's taller."

Kaifeng Mansion is afraid of shame, and Yushitai is also afraid. They also want to take a place. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they work, it seems that they can only fight for second place at most.
