The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 10: Five years later
The morning sun shines through the bamboo leaves into the house, the light and shadow are mottled, and the sound of the sandalwood board rang eight times not far away.
Yun Yan turned over and sat up, wiping her eyes. After a while, he got up and saw that Little Treasure was still sleeping, so he dressed himself and went to the kitchen to put down the dough.
At this time, it was already the fifth year since Yun Yan returned to the time of travel, and he was almost eight years old.
Zheng Ping had already gone to take care of the children's residences, where they made meals.
Yunyan returned three bowls of noodle soup, with egg droplets and a few pieces of vegetables in the soup, brought it to the hall, and then knocked on Shuangyi's door, heard Shuangyi's answer, then went back to her room and put the Xiaobao wakes up and helps him get dressed together.
Xiaobao's clothes are all dressed up, but he is still awake, so he hangs on Yun Yanhui and goes out.
The three of them washed up near the water tank side by side, and then went to the table to eat noodle soup.
Shuang Yi took two bites, suddenly thought of something, and said to Yun Yan, "Brother Yan, my coat was torn yesterday, can you mend it for me?"
"...You take it easy, do you look good with so many repairs?" Yun Yanhui replied helplessly.
Shuang Yi blushed in response.
Yunyan wanted to cry but had no tears, how did the shy little loli become like this... oh no, still shy, but the growth is a bit strange. In the past two years, Zheng Ping would cut new clothes, but Yun Yan came back to do the sewing and mending work.
Because as Shuangyi learns kesi and embroidery more and more days, everyone finds that Shuangyi does not have this talent at all, and she just can't learn kesi and embroidery. , including cooking, is also an idiot.
She seems to be born in the wrong place, but she is better at dancing with knives and guns, and learning from the monks in the temple all day long.
Yun Yanhui had to go into battle by herself and share this part of the housework. There was no other way. Shuang Yi came to help with sewing and cooking, and none of them were at ease.
After breakfast, Yunyan returned to wash dishes with Xiaobao.
Shuang Yi went to feed the chickens.
They enclosed the bamboo forest outside the house and raised chickens in it. Yun Yan returned to the idea. They were responsible for the daily sales, and they kept the money for their own pockets.
Shuangyi uses a bamboo pole to pick up feed to feed the chickens. These chickens have long been accustomed to flapping their wings to eat the feed. In this way, if you exercise like this every day, and eat the insects in the bamboo forest, the meat of these free-range chickens will be particularly delicious.
Just to feed a chicken, Shuang Yi is still restlessly poking around with a bamboo pole, as if he is using a gun and stick, he really does not forget to practice the exercises all the time.
After Yun Yanhui and Xiaobao finished washing the dishes, they took pen, ink, paper and inkstone to practice calligraphy.
Yun Yan recalled that it was Zheng Ping who gave him the opportunity to study. Later, Zheng Ping also spent money to send him to the Master to study. However, after Yun Yan studied for a year and understood the imperial examinations, he did not want to take this course at all. Way to go.
Yunyan originally thought that it would be better to have a reputation and avoid taxes, but he found that he had studied for so many years before, and his grades were not bad, but in ancient times, he almost doubted his life. ,too difficult!
Reading is very difficult, and it is even more difficult to take the exam. Maybe it will take decades to pass the exam. Yun Yanhui feels that he is really helpless about the ancient scriptures, and he is not as hard as other people in ancient times.
Therefore, Yun Yanhui asked to drop out of school, and his master was surprised, because Yun Yanhui was the fastest student of the same age.
I don't know that this is because Yun Yanhui is an adult, and of course he is stronger than a child, but he himself understands the homework that he will face in the future.
This is what Yun Yanhui thinks. With his stereotyped thinking and three views, even if he spends all his time trying to make a name for himself, what's the use? Who can compare? This is the Song Dynasty, dear, Tang poetry and Song poetry, the two dynasties in history are definitely not short of talents!
Civilians are running everywhere, and there are as many talents as dogs.
Besides, after wearing it for a thousand years, is it just for reading? Just live comfortably!
It took Yun Yanhui a lot of time to convince Zheng Ping that she was able to drop out of school. Fortunately, Zheng Ping was not obsessed with fame or anything. She even thought that Yun Yanhui might have inherited her deceased husband's hobby and was more interested in business. interest.
And after Yunyan dropped out of school, he would still buy books to read by himself. He just bought books that he was interested in, orthodox books, but there was no pressure to study.
After Xiaobao got old, Zheng Ping gave it to Kaimeng, and then Yun Yan returned to read and read with him.
Xiao Bao also went to study with the father and son that Yun Yanhui was with back then, but he persisted a little longer than Yun Yanhui, two years, and then refused to read, and came back to study by himself with Yun Yanhui.
Zheng Ping also asked, Xiaobao doesn't want to do business or something, because he has been close to Liran over the past few years, and he wants to learn medical skills from Liran. So, now I often go to Ran to study medicine.
Yun Yanhui agrees with Xiaobao very much. Dropping out of school does not mean that he has stopped studying. On the contrary, he will learn more things in order to grow up on the road of studying medicine in the future.
After Yunyan finished practicing the calligraphy, she told Xiaobao to continue watching, and went out with a small bag.
……
Today is the fifteenth day, and it is another day for the temple fair of the Wanxing Temple at the Great Xiangguo Temple.
On the way back, Yun Yan greeted the monks he met and the businessmen he knew, and walked around the temple familiarly. He lived here for a few years. He was very familiar with him here, and he was very familiar with it.
The monks who met Yun Yanhui, who were more familiar with him, would not only say hello, but also half-truth and joke: "Brother Yan, when will you convert?"
Everyone in Daxiangguo Temple knows that this is the favorite disciple of Zen Master Kuo Ran.
Yun Yanhui could only cover his face silently. Over the years, if he hadn't been firm, everyone would take him seriously as a little monk, okay? In this way, some people think that he is also a reserve monk now.
Arriving at the front door, Yunyan looked back and patrolled the crowd, and found her target, a Hu businessman.
This businessman came here for half a month, set up a stall for half a month, and the goods he brought are almost sold out, which means that he is about to return. Before leaving, they will also wholesale some Central Plains goods.
Yunyan went back to his stall and Hushang asked in Mandarin with an accent, "Xiao Langjun, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I want to ask the boss if you are interested in Kesi?" Yun Yanhui asked in a low voice.
Hu Shang's eyes flickered. Kesi, the price of silk has been getting higher and higher in Bianliang in recent years, especially for excellent works, not to mention the exquisite embroidery from Bianliang is very popular in his country , which can often be sold at high prices.
But Kesi, because it takes a lot of time, is in short supply even in Bianliang, and there are not enough people to supply it.
Yun Yanhui opened the burden and showed it to Hu Shang.
Hu Shang's eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched out his finger excitedly, "Sell it to me!!"
……
Yunyan counted the silver coins and stuffed it into her arms.
In recent years, Zheng Ping will also slowly make some Kesi in addition to her official work. The progress is relatively slow, but there is always one piece of work a year, which is enough to subsidize the rent and daily life in Daxiangguo Temple. There are savings to save.
Because of the blockade of my parents' family, I couldn't sell it in Bianliang, so I thought of a way to secretly sell it to Hu merchants who were leaving Bianliang, and it was sold in such a way that the stall was not rented, so as not to be found out doing this business .
Yun Yanhui calmly walked around the temple fair with money in his hand. It wasn't because he trusted the morals of the people these days, but because he had been here and there in the past few years, with his many years of experience in modern times After the experience, I know how to communicate with people.
The teacher who brought Yunyan back, used to be in charge of the public opinion work in the government propaganda department. What he usually did the most was to get acquainted with the local media that he had never known before in the shortest time when there was an incident, and then Expand work.
Yunyan came back to him and learned a lot. Moreover, although Yun Yanhui is young now, he is always with Liran, and it is easy to win the trust of others here. It can be said that even if an ignorant outsider stole the money, he would have to spit it out before he left the Daxiangguo Temple.
When Yunyan walked back to the "pet market" in Dasanmen, she caught a glimpse of an animal in a cage. She was stunned at the time, and took a while to wipe her eyes to make sure she was right.
Before he walked a few steps, he looked at the black and white hairballs in the cage, dumbfounded, "This, this is not..."
