The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

After the water swing, there is a water puppet theater, which is also a traditional show. A small boat is built with a colored building, just like a theater performing a puppet theater on a dry land. After a burst of music, a pair of wooden puppets come out.

The puppets are a man and a woman, and the clothes on their bodies are reduced to the size of the real person. One is like a scholar, and the other is a beauty lady. Whether it is a folding fan or a ring, the accessories are as real and very delicate.

These puppets can perform dances, play ball, and other activities. When Yun Yan returned to their place, many people were so nervous that they didn't want to watch the performance. Only the people in Kaifeng Mansion watched it with relish.

"I don't know what kind of performance will be this year?" Yun Yanhui was very interested.

Some musicians come out to make a song, "The carp looks at the peach blossom shore, and looks forward to the amorous beautiful Liang Lang. Ping Chi and Meng Chunguang, you and I will be a phoenix for life."

Suddenly, an exclamation sounded from the shore.

Although this lyric is not from "Wang Qingyu", it obviously tells the story of "Wang Qingyu". Beijing people are very familiar with this play, and they know it when they hear it. Today's water puppet is adapted from "Wang Qingyu". Content.

Even Yun Yanhui was shocked and laughed, looking forward to how the puppet show would be performed.

Since it is "Wang Qingyu", the pair of puppets are naturally He Lishu and Liang Fuxue.

I saw the wooden puppet Liang Fuxue picking up a fishing rod and throwing it into the water, while the wooden puppet He Lishu on the side trembled and looked terrified. Next, when Liang Fuxue's pole moved, he actually caught a small carp!

He Lishu stepped forward to push Liang Fuxue, as if asking him to put the fish back, making the audience on the shore laugh and cheer.

The water puppet theater originally used puppets to play football, fish and other actions, but it used to be purely action performances. This time, the plot was added to integrate the original technology and it was more interesting. It was a breakthrough.

I have to say that the emergence of Bian Opera has brought many ideas to folk artists in Bianjing.

Yun Yan really looked at it with gusto, and Chen Lin suddenly appeared, "Yun Xiaolang!"

Yun Yanhui quickly stood up, "Chen Banban, what is it for me?"

Chen Lin said with a funny look: "The officials saw that you dragon boat team were very sad, and only Kaifeng Mansion laughed and laughed, so I asked me to come to you and ask."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yan was speechless when he came back, eh, is it our fault that he is strong and has no pressure?

He followed Chen Lin and saw that Renzong was not very happy and said: "The Kaifeng Mansion is full of strong men. It seems that you are very confident, but what's the meaning of this comparison?"

"...We can't blame us," Yun Yan said with a bitter face, "We are not equal in strength to other yamen. If we look very sad, would that be too fake?"

Renzong snorted, "Don't be too confident."

Yun Yan whispered back, "We are not very confident either. Have you seen the people from Yushitai? They are so despicable. They just bought them to raise the bar..."

Yun Yan went back to "sell" Yushitai and diverted his attention.

"What?" When Renzong heard it, he looked at the benchmark. It was really not obvious from a distance, but Yushitai had a particularly high contestant, so what Yun Yan said back is very likely to be true.

Renzong was lost in thought.

Yun Yan replied: "Officials, it is time to revoke their qualifications for the competition!"

"You go back first," Renzong shook his hand suddenly, "I know what to do. This game is really dull, like the court's self-entertainment."

"?" Yun Yan felt inexplicable in reply. He was clearly accusing Yushitai of cheating. Where did Renzong think of this?

...

After Yun Yan walked back, he saw Chen Lin inform the team one by one, and suddenly felt a little bad!

At noon, the dragon boat bidding officially began, and the officials of the various government offices boarded the boats separately. Everyone rowed under a Feihong Bridge. This was the starting point, and the benchmark was in front of the Water Palace.

People on both sides of the strait are cheering, and Kaifeng Mansion has received the most cheering.

Yun Yan sat on the bow of the boat back and said, everyone raised their hands together and greeted the people. With interaction, the cheering voice suddenly became even more enthusiastic. People from other government offices followed suit.

With noisy gongs and drums, accompanied by fierce drum beats, a military academy at the end waved a flag to symbolize the start of the competition!

Twenty dragon boats set off quickly, shouting chants and paddling.

For the people, this is indeed not as intense as the more intense competitions in previous years, but when the dragon boat is near the end, they know they are wrong.

The fleet of Kaifeng Mansion is undoubtedly ranked first. The second place was Yun Yanhui’s old friends and officials in the tea case. They travelled all the year round, and their physical strength was not bad, only a little behind Kaifeng Mansion. As for the third place, it is Yushitai.

At this moment, the second crew member suddenly raised the oar and stabbed the caller from Kaifeng Mansion in the waist, and the man fell into the water like dumplings.

The rhythm of Kaifeng Mansion suddenly messed up, and the audience screamed. Yun Yan heard it back, then looked back, and was stunned.

It’s impossible for the people in the tea case to break the rules so openly, so it could only be... Renzong changed the rules!

Yun Yan looked up and saw Renzong smile on the water hall.

Yun Yan replied: "..."

As for that?

At this time, the ship of the tea case had taken the opportunity to pass and became the first.

Yun Yan regained his inspiration and said, "Poke the people from Yushitai!!"

The people in Kaifeng Mansion got the order and all picked up their oars to attack the third place Yushitai.

All Yushitai: "???"

I rely on—what are they doing? !

Even the director of Yushitai, who was watching the battle on the shore, jumped in a hurry, shouting to the officials and colleagues on the side: "Well, what's the matter with Yunyanhui, Baofutai! What's the matter with them? !"

Bao Zheng looked innocent, how did he know?

Yun Yan replied: Don't you poke who?

The benchmark is still high, and it seems to be even higher. Only Yushitai has big and tall people on the scene. Since Renzong wants to play, of course they should cooperate and focus on Yushitai first and let others fight.

As a result, the people of Kaifeng Mansion set the ship, stopped the people of Yushitai, and began to focus on them, ignoring that one ship after another overtook them.

The people at Yushitai were frustrated, hiding and hitting back, while cursing: "Yunyan back! What are you doing against us? It's the tea case that stabbed you!"

"If you are wronged, you are in debt, don't be unreasonable!"

"Don't reason with them!" Yun Yan yelled back. It is the most unwise to reason with the people at Yushitai, because you can't tell them before. Yun Yan knows that, "Poke them all down!" "

The officials of Yushitai fell into the water one by one, and were picked up by the rescue boat on the side, only to lose their qualifications. Later, when some people saw the miserable situation of their colleagues diving into the water, they became frightened, and they simply took the initiative to dive.

As for the real creditor tea case? As the first place, they are now being besieged by a dozen other dragon boats!

The spectators on the shore collectively petrified.

They originally thought it was an ordinary dragon boat bidding. In previous years, the dragon boat bidding also played small moves, but this year they are all officials. Shouldn't that happen?

Who knows, it's too much! What are these people's small actions, they directly attack their opponents!

Most of the dragon boats have reached the benchmark, and they are now in a melee. Not only are people stabbed with oars, but there are also suicide attacks, which are to jump on other people's boats and pull as many people as possible into the water. In addition, they played a combination of vertical and horizontal tactics and joined forces to attack other teams.

——Because of these actions, many people have discovered that this may be agreed in advance, not temporary. As long as they got into the water, they lost their qualifications. Those who fell into the water did not climb back, but were picked up by the boat on the side.

Those who came to the competition were young and strong young officials who could afford to play and had a great time.

After being astonished for a while, the people came back to their senses and let out louder shouts and laughter.

On weekdays, how can you see such an unimaginable side of the imperial order officer?

Yun Yan went back here, and the people from Kaifeng Mansion drove Yushitai to "kill all". Li Zeyun, who led the team over there, showed a look of grief and indignation. He was already glorious. Now he was lying next to the dragon boat in Kaifeng Mansion. , "Master Yun, are you as for?"

"To win, it is worth it!" Yun Yan replied, "I'm sorry, Xiao Li, there is no master or apprentice on the battlefield!"

Li Zeyun looked astonished. Before Yun Yan had time to complain, Yun Yan pulled his ears back and let go of the pain and swam towards the boat.

"Next we can go to the war!" Zhao Hu shouted.

"Wait," Yun Yan called back, "Does the war need us all? Fifth Lord!"

In response, Bai Yutang threw the oars and moved his wrists. He didn't need to go on rowing at all. He directly lifted his body and walked over the waves, causing the people to exclaim.

People from Kaifeng Mansion slowly swept towards the finish line.

But Bai Yutang had already stepped on the bow of someone else's boat. Looking up, there were two or three people vying to climb up the pole.

Bai Yutang gave a chuckle, stood up, stepped on top of a person's head, leaped to hug the pole, pulled off Jin Cai and stood on the top of the pole in two strokes, squatting on top of the size of a child's fist, steady. Dang!

At this time, the Kaifeng Mansion's boat was also rowed forward, Bai Yutang turned over and landed accurately on the bow from a high place. The wind was blowing on his face, and it was like a golden-haired rat with beautiful clothes and jade appearance.

The drums stopped, and the winning team was Kaifeng Fuya!

After a brief silence, the people screamed and applauded vigorously for Bai Yutang's wonderful performance. There are also countless little ladies who see Bai Yutang's figure and face, all with affection, and quietly whispering.

Bai Yutang was very proud, and raised the Jincai in a pompous manner, which immediately caused a sea-like cry.

The more calm Zhan Zhao saw this scene and shook his head helplessly.

...

Above the water hall, Renzong, the concubine, and the important ministers were all very enjoyable.

The dragon boat bidding just now showed the very detached side of the officials they know who are usually very gentle, the fierce confrontation, and the unparalleled effort of Bai Yutang, which can be described as full of appreciation.

Renzong took the lead and applauded, smiling and nodding to Kaifeng Mansion.

If it is compared to the race, then today's competition is definitely not as good as in previous years, but the bidding competition under the final benchmark is also far behind in previous years.

After the game, everyone changed their clothes and went back to sit down in the color shed. Many people were still talking about the fun things in the game just now, which caused bursts of laughter.

Compared with the result of the game, the process is more interesting to everyone.

Of course, Kaifeng’s chicken thieves were also accused of their behavior, because most of the time they hid behind and beat Yushi, so they had the least casualties.

"It's really a praying mantis catching a cicada, the oriole is behind!"

"Actually, Guard Bai won the bid long ago. He still gave us some time to show off!"

"Haha," Yun Yanhui also ridiculed, "Now the little ladies in Bianjing probably have one more lover in their dreams. The two previous guards Bai guards were very handsome, and later they were all cheered by the little ladies. I think, tomorrow someone will ask the government to act as a matchmaker."

"Yes, we fought for so long in front, and finally the limelight was robbed by the white guard."

Bai Yutang folded his arms and gleefully said: "I think Brother Yan will be besieged by the historians before tomorrow!"

Yun Yan turned his head and looked at it. As expected, the people in Yushitai were all staring at him, wishing to shoot him into the water with their eyes.
