The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 148: This is the golden king

Song people like to keep pets, otherwise the Daxiangguo Temple would not have a dedicated area to sell birds and beasts. Of course, cats and dogs, fish, birds, turtles and insects are also popular.

Yun Yanhui has a lot of things to do on weekdays and doesn't have the habit of keeping pets to kill time, so although he knew that turtles were a symbol of longevity in ancient times, he didn't know that there was a green-haired turtle that was especially valuable.

Some people say that turtles grow hair for thousands of years. At that time, people thought that green-haired turtles were a kind of auspicious things, and the hair on their backs was as emerald green as jade, which was very ornamental. Therefore, after wild green turtles are caught, they can often be sold for extremely high prices.

As for Yun Yanhui's opinion - this is the algae growing on her back!

However, who called it valuable, so Yunyan bought back a large tank, put the green turtle in it, and transplanted some water plants in it. two mouthfuls.

Zheng Ping couldn't bear to see it, "No matter how valuable it is, it can't be like this, right?"

"Auntie, you don't understand." Yun Yan replied with a smile, "You have to take good care of it, this is an imperial turtle."

Zheng Ping asked, "Don't talk about this, can you visit your master? Didn't the official family call him into the palace?"

"I asked someone to pass a letter to Master, don't worry, the official family is generous, and it's okay to see the princess." Yun Yan replied.

Renzong's words really counted, and after a few days, he summoned Lingran to enter the palace.

Yun Yanhui also applied to follow up with him, but he was not in the harem, because he entered the palace under the name of the report, so now he is waiting outside the Renzong Hall.

Because he often comes in to report, he has made contributions, and he is also the grandson of the Zheng family, so he is familiar with many courtiers.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was also waiting, leaned over and said, "I heard that Xiao Lang was in the palace a few days ago and got a green turtle?"

Wow, I didn't expect the cheap thing to spread so quickly?

Yunyan nodded reservedly.

The waiter winked, "Brother likes to keep turtles the most. I heard that the green tortoise in the palace has seven or eight inches of hair, and it looks very good. I wonder if Xiao Lang is willing to give up his love?"

"No, no matter how much money I have, I won't sell it." Yun Yan shook her head again and again.

The waiter was very disappointed, but did not force it, "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."

Yunyan smiled back with a friendly smile, "Definitely."

Yunyan returned to Renzong after reporting, and went with him to the Queen Mother. At this time, she had already seen the little princess, and was teaching Zen to the Queen Mother. When she saw Renzong, she greeted her.

Renzong hurriedly excused himself from the ceremony and asked him how he got his pulse.

It is clear that the words are amazing, "The little princess has a thin body, which is brought in by the womb, and it is really difficult to take care of it. However, Your Highness has a deep connection with Buddhism. If you can enter Buddhism, you will definitely be able to prolong your life."

When Renzong heard it, he didn't realize it was strange. Because of his weak body, he asked children to be raised in temples. And since he said that his daughter is deeply connected with Buddhism, he believes it, and she has a very strong character.

As soon as I heard that the eighth princess could grow up healthily, Renzong naturally agreed, "Okay, I will make an decree in a few days, and ask You Wu to lead her to practice."

The Empress Dowager Yang also reminded, "Since this is the case, the officials should remember that in the future, keep the title of "Young Wu Shi" and give her the title of Princess." The Queen Mother also loves the Princess and asks the officials to remember, although she is out of the house, the title, The fief still has to be given to the Eighth Princess.

This is a special seal, but it is also natural to put it on the eighth princess, Renzong nodded, "naturally."

Renzong ordered people to draw up a decree, and as expected, the Eighth Princess was designated to protect Master Chongyou, and a temple was built in the palace for her to recite Buddha.

What is exciting is that although the eighth princess does not need to shave, she has worshipped Linglan as her conversion teacher, and she is going to give her a lecture.

Buddhist disciples may have multiple teachers in their life, not necessarily all of them are passed down by themselves. Speaking of this conversion, when Yun Yanhui was in modern times, he knew that Buddhist temples at that time had websites where online conversions were possible.

That's true, the Eighth Princess now sees Yun Yan coming back, and she also calls out Senior Brother!

The first time Yun Yan was called, she was dizzy.

Oh my god, I've become the princess' brother!

Either way, it's because his master is very good. The old monk said a few words, and he became the princess' conversion teacher. With a high level of business, he was easy to mess up, and he climbed much faster than his disciple.

Renzong saw Yun Yan's boneless appearance, pointed at him with a smile and said, "You can't shout in vain, You Wu, he has to give him a gift."

"I want it, I want it." Yun Yanhui really didn't take advantage of it in vain. Although he once called Renzong a buddy, and now he is a generation shorter, he has long been used to the confusion of generations.

Yunyan returned to draw the drawings and asked people to make models of the houses, all in pink and tender colors, and also decorated the surrounding environment so that they were lifelike, and gave them to the Eighth Princess to play the house.

The eighth princess really liked it so much that she put her puppet in it and played with it every day.

Because Zhao Yunchu also likes to study Buddhism, Renzong also specially called him and asked him to bring his notes when he was a child and show it to the eighth princess.

Zhao Yunchu proposed to bring Yun Yanhui's notes as well. He told Renzong that when he was a child, Brother Yan was better than him.

When Renzong heard it, he didn't expect Yun Yan to be so eager to learn before, so he asked him to bring his notes too.

It is very strange to take a look.

"I've always thought that Yunyan's calligraphy -- not to mention calligraphy -- writing is common, but I didn't expect you to write like this when you were five or six years old." Although there is a slight difference in strength due to different strengths , but overall the handwriting remains the same.

This is something worth pondering about. His words, among adults, among the talented Song people, are nothing. However, among young children, it is very good.

"Could it be that it's already an hour, and a big might not be a good thing?" Renzong pondered.

Yunyan replied: "Uh..."

Zhao Yunchu was very angry for Yun Yanhui, "Official family, brother Yan just hasn't improved since then, and it's not that he can't grow up, he just doesn't want to learn, he doesn't think it's necessary. It's like he stopped reading after two years, because it's enough, he has to concentrate. With Yan Ge'er's intelligence, no matter what he does, he will succeed, it's just whether he wants it or not!"

Zhao Yunchu impassively defended Yun Yanhui.

Renzong was speechless for a long time, "You are protecting him. Listening to what you mean, he really has nothing in the sky."

Looking at it again, Yun Yan felt a little embarrassed when she returned to herself.

Zhao Yunchu is worthy of being the number one geese blowing in the sky, he's going to blush when he blows it. If he concentrated on learning to take the imperial examinations, he might starve to death by now...

However, in Zhao Yunchu's view, this is true. Many times, people who think they are great when they are young, but feel nothing when they grow up. Zhao Yunchu returned to Yun Yan, but when he recalled it after a long time, he only felt that Yun Yan returned well, and even more powerful.

Yunyan replied: "Ashamed, ashamed...don't be known, keep a low profile."

Renzong: "..."

Zhao Yunchu: "Mmmm!"

Naturally, Yun Yanhui was joking. He felt that he was still standing on the shoulders of giants and shaking his wit. Zhao Yunchu looked like this, and he was helpless.

Renzong shook his head, "Walk around, I don't want to see you."

……

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were kicked out together, he spread his hands and said, "It's still early, I won't go back to work, you can accompany me to the Daxiangguo Temple, I ordered something at the last temple fair, I made an appointment to pick up the goods today."

He looked at Zhao Yunchu as a coolie, but Zhao Yunchu was happy.

The two went to Daxiangguo Temple, Yun Yanhui went straight to the pet area, and when they reached the stall, the hawker saw Yun Yanhui, said hello, and brought out two buckets.

Zhao Yunchu looked down and saw a total of twenty tortoises in two buckets.

The hawker also fished out one for Yunyan to inspect, which proved to be strong and healthy.

Yun Yan took a closer look and paid the rest.

Zhao Yunchu also knew that Yun Yanhui had recently acquired a green-haired tortoise, which he kept at home and made a special tank. But he didn't expect that he ordered twenty more tortoises here, but these twenty were ordinary tortoises, so I couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Yan, are you raising all of these yourself?"

"Yes, I raise it myself, I won't give it away if I don't eat it." Yun Yan said lightly.

Zhao Yunchu opened his mouth and asked in confusion for a long time: "Have you raised turtles to make them taste good? However, you don't need to raise 20 turtles, right? How much space does it take up?"

"You don't know, this is the golden king." Yun Yan replied.

Zhao Yunchu: "...Golden Eighth?"

However you look at it, they are all ordinary turtles, the most ordinary kind.

Yunyan glanced back at Zhao Yunchu and looked around. There were many people around, so he leaned forward and spoke into Zhao Yunchu's ear, "I'm going to make a fortune, I'm going to turn these turtles into green-haired turtles. , this is just the first batch of..."

Zhao Yunchu's heart was beating fast because Yun Yanhui was talking right next to his face, but he had to pretend that nothing happened. But soon, after Yun Yan's reply was digested by him, he couldn't control his expression, "What?"

Yunyan raised a finger, "Shh."

He was a little proud, and whispered to Zhao Yunchu: "I have found out that the hair on the back of this green-haired king is actually algae. So I am going to artificially breed a batch of green-haired turtles. When the time comes, I will tell the public. , this is all influenced by the imperial tortoise given by the official family... um, or assimilation? Anyway, it just grows green hair. It will only take a few months to grow 'hair', so you say these are not Where's the Golden King?"

There are so many tortoises that I don't need any money when I add them up, but after they are artificially made into green-haired turtles and sold, their value will increase thousands of times. This is simply a huge profit! Of course this is the Golden King!

Zhao Yunchu's eyes widened involuntarily. He felt that he could hardly breathe... He raised green-haired turtles by himself, and also said that the turtles given by the official family caused them to grow hair?

He can only say that his brother Yan is so powerful that he can even come up with such an idea.

And, most importantly, Brother Yan told him without hesitation.

Zhao Yunchu said stupidly: "Brother Yan, you are so smart."

He really can't think of any reason why he doesn't like Brother Yan.

"You're welcome, I'll give you one when the time comes." Yun Yan squeezed her eyes back, unable to hide her smile. Money is second, it's really fun to play like this.

If he hadn't found out that there was an article to do, why would he have put so much thought into supporting the green-haired turtle? It's better if he sells it for cash!

Hey, Dasong Pet Turtle Market, shake it!
