The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 162: You know both?

Yun Yanhui was a little excited, similar to knowing Bao Zheng's identity for the first time.

Some people in Shen Kuo and Shen Cun may not remember who they are, but when it comes to "Mengxi Bi Tan", many people will suddenly realize that this book is called a milestone in the history of Chinese science.

"Mengxi Bi Tan" was written by Shen Kuo in his residence in Mengxi Garden in his later years. It includes his life's knowledge and understanding, and the content spans astronomy, physics, medicine, chemistry, painting and calligraphy, music, government affairs and other fields .

For example, Bi Sheng and his movable type printing technique are recorded in "Mengxi Bi Tan", which is the earliest reliable historical data about movable type printing technique.

——This also shows the force of the book "Mengxi Bi Tan".

Although there is a young version of Shen Kuo in front of him, how can he know that he will not write Yun Yan back into the scroll in the future?

After Yun Yan was over excited, seeing everyone's shocked expressions, she patched up: "I've heard about Qiantang Shen's reputation a long time ago, but I didn't expect to see the Shen family today, so I'm a little excited."

Shen Kuo was instantly flattered. He thought he was a little transparent. Who knew that his fame had spread to Bianjing?

Shen Kuo hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I have long admired Yunlang. In fact, I have been paying attention since Kaifeng Deng, and I also asked Shishu in Beijing to help me find out, and only then did I know the name of Yunlang. , I have been paying attention to it since then. It's just that Yun Lang is a low-key person, and many things are unknown. I can see it today.

Most people don't know much about the origins of popular foods, and they only gossip when they know it, but Shen Kuo is different, he likes to explore.

Shen Kuo has carefully studied the scented tea, Kaifeng lamps, blue paper, etc., and he has been fascinated by their common advocates for a long time.

"It's natural!" Yun Yanhui happily agreed.

"Ah, I have to read this recipe first..." Shen Kuo looked at Xiaobao and said sullenly, "I almost forgot. My Shen family has a tradition of collecting prescriptions for generations. Master said, he promised to tell me this recipe, and I have to see the patient's medication to verify the prescription."

Yunyan replied: "No problem, Brother Shen, let's go to work first."

Shen Kuo and Xiaobao went to test the prescription, leaving Yun Yanhui and Shuang Yi standing in the courtyard.

Shuang Yi whispered, "Brother Yan, why haven't I heard of Qiantang Shen?"

Although the Shen family is also an official family, it is not a wealthy family, so it is impossible for Shuangyi to hear it.

Yun Yan replied casually: "I tell you to read more, the Shen family has a lot of achievements in medicine."

"Really?" Shuang Yi questioned suspiciously, "I see this Shen Cunzhong looking sick and wilting."

Yunyan replied: "..."

"Don't look at him as ill, but he..." It's not short-lived, doesn't this prove that their family's medical skills are really good? The second half of the sentence could not be said. Yun Yanhui only turned a corner, "I'm in good spirits, but I'm a little thinner. I'm still young."

Shen Kuo is only in his early twenties, he is about the same age as Shuang Yi, and slightly bigger than Yun Yanhui.

Shuang Yi shrugged noncommittally.

Yun Yanhui took advantage of this time to look at it and ask him if he knew the young man who came from outside.

I know I don't know him, but he seems to be sincere and eager to learn. Not only did he ask for a prescription, he also applied to see the murals in the temple.

Yun Yanhui couldn't hide her pride, she really wanted to show off to others, but she couldn't explain it clearly, he said, "Master, do you think he looks very promising in the future?"

I thought for a while, "Are you going to marry Shuangyi?"

"..." Yun Yan replied speechlessly, "Why do you think of this? It has nothing to do with Shuang Yi, because I want to be friends with him, so I will ask!"

Understand: "..."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Is it his delusion, that what he just said was weird?

Understood: "...Oh, what about your friendship? It's not necessarily that he can't be friends because he doesn't have much success?"

"No, it's okay not to, but if there is, I'm very proud that I know such a person!" Yun Yan said back with her chest raised.

Clearly said lightly: "I hope you won't be heard by the officials."

Yunyan replied: "..."

I don't quite understand Yun Yanhui's excitement. If there is any future, can there be a future for officials?

Yun Yanhui was knocked down by a sentence, and she could only hold her heart and said, "You are right, I can't be so ignorant of the world again!"

Understood, he closed his eyes slightly, and said a sentence before entering the meditation: "But this person does have a lot to do in the future, you can consider it."

Consider? What are you thinking about?

Yun Yanhui didn't understand yet, when he heard Xiaobao calling him outside, turned around and ran out.

Shen Kuo stood there holding a prescription in his hand and smiled shyly at Yun Yan.

"I also have a painter friend who is also looking at the murals. I heard from the master that you also want to see the murals. I'll take you to see them too. Stay for dinner tonight and I'll cook." Yun Yan returned Said, "Let's talk at the dinner table."

The arrangement of Yun Yan's return was excellent, and Shen Kuo said very happily that he asked someone to send a letter to his father, and just listened to Yun Yan's return.

Yunyan Hui took Shen Kuo to the palace Yelu Yaolu was visiting. The two started talking, and Yelu Yaolu realized that Shen Kuo also knew about painting, and they had a great conversation.

Shen Kuo was a little surprised that the man was from Liao, and asked him if he was here to do business.

"No, our study and exchange group from Daliao came to Song to learn the advanced experience of aquatic plant landscaping." Yelu walked earnestly and told Shen Kuo about the waterscape to hold a seminar.

Shen Kuo naturally knows this thing that is very popular recently. Although he doesn't support it himself, it is very popular in the officialdom now. His father is an official, so he also understands something, and Shen Kuo also understands a little about biology. Point out the reason why Yelu curled up the cylinder.

Yelü Cuilu nodded frequently, thinking that this person also knows painting well, and Yun Yanhui just now said that he came to the temple to ask for his acquaintance, and said with admiration, "I have seen you, except for Yan The most knowledgeable Song people outside my brother."

Yun Yanhui and Shen Kuo waved at the same time, "No, no, I am far inferior to Yun Lang (Brother Shen)."

After speaking, they realized that they were in unison, and the three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Shen Kuo and Yelu were supposed to concentrate on looking at the murals, but their plans couldn't keep up with the changes. As soon as they chatted, they found that they couldn't calm down at all, so they went home with Yunyan.

Yelu said, "By the way, Yanhui, can I go see your tortoise tomorrow? Is that the auspicious one?"

Auspicious? Xiang Rui was already killed by a butt, but Yun Yan replied, "Yes."

Yelü sighed, "I've wanted to see it for a long time, it's amazing, there is such a miraculous thing in the world."

Yun Yanhui glanced at Shen Kuo's pursed smile at the moment, and the two looked at each other. Yun Yanhui immediately knew that Shen Kuo might have discovered the mystery, so he blinked at him.

Shen Kuo also blinked, indicating that he knew, and the two of them were tacit.

……

How do I entertain a friend from afar?

Of course it's hot pot!

Yun Yanhui brought the ingredients and pot and told them to eat hot pot. Shen Kuo was fascinated, and said that he was able to eat the authentic Bianjing Bian Xia offering.

After a while, Xiaobao and Shuangyi also came. Because Shuangyi was a woman and wanted to avoid suspicion, they moved a small table to eat alone. Xiaobao helped her to cook the food and hand it over.

Yunyan returned to pour the wine, and everyone drank and chatted.

Shen Kuo mentioned that he heard that the Kaibao Temple in Bianjing was rebuilding the Inspiration Pagoda. The craftsman was going to build the tower to be inclined. He was a first-class carpenter and wanted to meet him.

Xiaobao laughed, "My brother, the craftsman, knew that. When the tower was being repaired, my brother also said that we should build a leaning tower. Yu Duan also said that it coincides with his idea." /

Shen Kuo was very pleasantly surprised, "Then please help me to recommend it. I heard that he wrote a "Wooden Classic", which explains the true meaning of carpenter craftsmanship. I really want to read it."

"Of course!" Yun Yan smiled back.

Shen Kuo: "It is said that last year, one of my fellow villagers, who invented movable type printing, was summoned to Beijing by the officials and made offerings..."

The crowd booed: "I know, and I know! Do you want to meet?"

Shen Kuo nodded, "Think about it!"

Yun Yanhui thought it was very funny, "Brother Shen is really fascinated by many people."

"Yes," Shen Kuo said embarrassedly, "Thank you for being locals. By the way, do you still know Zheng Feibo from the Hanlin Painting Academy? His painting method is similar to the painting method that is popular in the Hanlin Painting Academy today. It is completely different, has its own style, and is good at capturing the style of the market.”

Everyone: →_→

Shen Kuo: "Why, how, do you know each other?"

Yelu smiled and said, "It's not just acquaintances! I know that Zheng Feibo is Yanhui's cousin, and now the two of them have opened the water scene together."

Shen Kuo had been out of town before and was not so well-informed. At this time, he felt surprised and amused, "How come Yun Lang knows everyone I want to see."

——Not to mention, Yun Yanhui himself is also the person he wants to visit, and his master, Master Luran.

"By the way, I heard that Kaifeng Mansion has special wines. My father is a good wine man. Yun Lang works in Kaifeng Mansion, do you know how to get a few pots?" Shen Kuo said, drinking another glass of wine, his face flushed asked in red.

Everyone: →_→

Yunyan smiled back and patted the wine jar on the table, "How many pots you can get today depends on how much you drink. The rest of this jar will be packed back for you."

Shen Kuo looked at the wine, and then looked at Yun Yanhui. It took a while for him to react, and he said dumbfoundedly, "What I'm drinking now is the special brew from Kaifeng Mansion?"

Everyone nodded, "Yes!"

Shen Kuo: "..."

Shen Kuo shook his head and woke up a little, "It seems that meeting Yun Lang today is probably the luckiest thing I have ever encountered in Beijing!"

Yunyan had a confused feeling in the trance. He was worshipping the great gods in history, but the great gods were admiring him and his friends... Unconsciously, they were already creating history.

"It's amazing..." Yun Yanhui whispered, refilling the wine, "Don't say so much, you won't go home if you don't get drunk today!"

The crowd responded with a bang, toasting and drinking together.

……

On the moon, Shen Kuo, Xiaobao, and Yelu were all drunk, and they were still howling: "Brother Yan! Drink! I don't believe you can't get drunk!"

Yunyan also fluttered slightly when she returned her footsteps. She walked outside the door and saw a person on the steps, taking a nap with the railing, curled up into a ball.

Yunyan walked back and patted the man on the shoulder, then said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I forgot about you..."

The Liao envoys who come to Bianjing will be monitored. This person is the monitoring personnel of Kaifeng House. No matter whether the object is suspected or not, they must always keep abreast of the trend.

The man wanted to cry without tears and said: "Brother Yan, next time, please say you want to spend the night outside earlier, okay? I want someone to change the shift! I'm learning cuckoo outside and my voice is hoarse. You! What! Ignore me!"

"...I'm excited to drink, I just remembered you," Yunyan stroked her head back, "I thought it was my hen!"
