The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 83: The trace of watermelon

Yunyan returned to a tour guide and became familiar with the members of the Liaoning mission. He felt that the attitude of these people was a little different from what he had imagined before.

Due to various modern literary and artistic works and historical records, Yun Yanhui always felt that the relationship between Song and Liao was tense, and the envoys came to be provocative and then slapped in the face...

For example, Su Shi once slapped the Liao envoy in the face, and the Liao envoy asked the question that everyone in his country could not match: Sanguang Sun, Moon and Star, and Su Shi gave it in minutes. There are three solutions, one of which is "Four German Yuan Henry".

The envoy of Liao was still not reconciled, thinking that there was a loophole in this one, and the four virtues were missing a "zhen", but Su Shi told him that this was because he avoided Renzong's taboo, and Renzong asked Zhao Zhen to come.

——It can't be more slap in the face, it sounds like a TV series, but it's all true, it just hasn't happened at this point in time.

But after getting along with each other in the past few days, Yun Yanhui felt that maybe only the envoys would test others with a purpose. These related households who played with the group did not think about so many things between countries.

After all, Song Liao has been peaceful for many years, and the competition is left to the officials above, they just play.

Anyway, these people are very kind to Yun Yanhui and think he is very cute. Some people try to invite Yun Yanhui to go to Liao with the mission next time. Then they can also bring Yunyan back to buy and buy.

Yun Yanhui can only honestly say: "I'm a temporary worker, I'm not educated, and I won't be sent as an ambassador."

They didn't know what a temporary worker was, so Yunyan said it back because he didn't take part in the scientific examination and didn't have an organization.

Yelü Yalu felt a pity, "If a talent like you comes to our Liao Kingdom, he will definitely be an official."

Yunyan groaned in her heart, what's the matter, this is to solve the problem of organization for him? It seems that this person really has bad intentions, he must have inquired about him...

Yunyan looked back at Yelu's shoes.

Yelü said sincerely: "The eight treasures glutinous rice you cook is very delicious, and our country lord also likes to eat glutinous rice."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Others also agreed when they heard it.

Yun Yanhui is so drunk, your country is too casual!

In front of me is a man who was exonerated because he painted pictures of the emperor well, and now he is here to persuade others to serve as an official for cooking glutinous rice for the emperor. May I ask what is the significance of this official? According to such anecdotal records, Kaifeng temporary workers went to Liao State and became an official with the skill of cooking glutinous rice with one hand?

"No need, my home is here, and I already feel good about my job now." Yun Yan replied politely.

Yelu sighed and said, "Unfortunately! Although our Daliao is not as prosperous as Bianjing, there are still many good things. I really want to show you around."

"What's the matter? If you say that, I also want to ask for purchasing..." Isn't Zheng Ling in Honglu Temple? He knows a lot about the members of the diplomatic corps of the Song Kingdom. If necessary, he can also call People buy.

"The first one is naturally pearls," Yelu said proudly, "You should have heard of this, you Song people love it very much, it is called Beizhu, it has excellent light quality, and it is quite famous. ."

Yunyan said back to her heart, this can be bought and given to family members, women should like it very much. And at this time, although Beizhu was popular, it was not too expensive, and he could afford it.

Yelü was walking on his feet to introduce Yun Yanhui. Because his Chinese is not good, he still got stuck in the process. He couldn't think of how to translate and describe it.

"...this, this, watermelon! It tastes so sweet!"

As Yelu walked on his feet, Yun Yanhui suddenly heard the word "watermelon", a shock, "Wait, what did you say? Watermelon?"

Yelu paused, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Yun Yanhui was a little excited. It was the watermelon, the watermelon he was thinking about. He always thought that watermelon was extinct in the Central Plains, and it would only be available in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was only popularized in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Yunyan said that she likes watermelon very much. It's a pleasure to eat a watermelon in the summer. He even thought that if it wasn't for the seasonal restrictions of watermelon, it should be one of the fruits!

"You, how come there are watermelons in your place?" Liao is not the origin of watermelons.

Yelü replied: "Back then, when we broke the Western Regions and defeated the Uighurs, we brought back the watermelon seeds. We in Daliao used cow dung to cover the sheds, but it seems that the Uighur melons are more delicious..."

Damn, yes, isn't the Uighur the Uyghur people?

Yunyan patted herself on the forehead back, she was really stupid.

"I'm very special, I really want to eat watermelon." Yun Yanhui said sincerely, "Can I buy some good watermelon seeds for me? I don't know anyone from the Uyghur mission."

Although the embassies are all engaged in purchasing business, in fact, during the Song Dynasty, the envoys of the Song Dynasty were prohibited from privately trading for profit, but they couldn't stop it. Even if they were dismissed, everyone would continue to do business. has become an open secret. However, it is precisely because it is not allowed on the surface, so you must find a reliable person to buy it.

"What's wrong with this!" Yelu patted her chest, "I'll go back and collect some watermelon seeds for you, and then ask the embassy from your country or our country to bring it back to you next time."

Next time, the birthdays of He Zhengdan and Emperor He will always be the birthdays of He Zhengdan and Emperor He. Because Yun Yanhui was entertaining envoys, Yun Yanhui also knew that Liao Xingzong's birthday was at the end of February. Seeds can also come back with the mission.

This is really bad in ancient times. The journey is too time-consuming. No wonder the ancients were so sad about parting.

"Okay, Hailin, isn't your Majesty's birthday at the end of February? In a few days, our mission will also leave for Liao, but I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up. Please help write a letter of introduction, and then I will Then ask them to ask your relatives and friends to help you get the seeds."

"What's wrong with this, I'll write it for you!" Yelu replied very readily, "You are so good to me, what is this seed, what else do you want?"

"No, it's just a hobby." Yun Yan Hui thought of getting the seeds, being able to grow watermelons, and eating watermelons in the next year, not to mention all kinds of derivatives, she was extremely happy.

Yelü thought about it for a while, and said, "We are going back on the sixth day of the sixth day. Before that, let me draw a picture of you."

Yun Yan Hui never thought he would say this, I will go, this is the emperor's treatment!

Although he complained that the Emperor of Liao was too casual, he was able to save him from his crime with a single painting, which shows how profound his painting skills are.

Ai Ai said at the return period of Yunyan: "Then why are you so embarrassed... Can you draw me in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Yelu walks on: "..."

……

Yelu followed Yun Yan back to Kaifeng Mansion. He didn't bring any pen and paper. When Yunyan asked back, he said, "I just went to see Kaifeng Mansion, keep it in my mind, and then draw you all. Just come out, you don’t have to watch and draw.”

So powerful? Yun Yanhui felt that she was really shocked after wearing it, and she didn't know why there were so many great people.

Yunyan came back to stand at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion and let Yelu carefully observe.

Daxiangguo Temple and Kaifeng Mansion are very important to him, both fulfilling his abilities, and the people in both places are very good, making him feel happier at work and willing to give.

In view of the fact that Daxiangguo Temple has been presented in Zheng Ling's writings, this time, Yunyan returned to hope to "take a photo" with Kaifeng Mansion. I don't know if these two paintings can be passed on to future generations, but he is looking forward to it.

Yun Yanhui was thinking in a trance, when suddenly she heard a cat meow, she looked up, it turned out that it was Da Mao who appeared carefully on the wall, looked at him, then turned back to meow, and then, a few others Mao also appeared on the wall.

Yunyan smiled back, not knowing how they found out that he was outside the door, but he didn't make a sound.

"What are you doing, don't run outside!" At this moment, a voice came, and then another person climbed up, hanging his hands on the wall, calling Liu Mao in his mouth, and then saw Yun Yan at a glance When he returned, he was stunned, and then Jun's face turned red.

Yun Yanhui's smile deepened, and she shouted meaningfully: "Zhan Guard."

Because of the "royal cat" thing, Zhan Zhao seems to have been a little subtle to these cats, and because everyone called him Qi Mao behind his back, he seemed to have heard a little bit of wind, so he was always very affectionate to these cats on weekdays. Indifferent look.

I never imagined that...

Zhan Zhao looks very awkward, "I'm just afraid they get lost..."

The more he spoke, the weaker his voice became. As soon as he released his hand, he fell off the wall and disappeared.

The incident of Yelu walking on the photo made Zhao Yunchu very unhappy later.

Yelu was very fast in painting, she finished painting before she left, and gave it to Yunyan back.

Yunyan looked back, and the painting was indeed a vivid self, standing at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, smiling, and interestingly, there were six cats and a Zhanzhao painted on the courtyard wall next to them. He tilted his head to look at Yun Yanhui at the door.

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yun Yanhui was a little crazy at first. He drew like a picture, but how did he draw the cat and the royal cat so faithfully? But if you look closely, the picture is really lively and much more lively, making Kaifeng Mansion look less solemn.

Especially the subtly similar movements of the six cats alone made Yun Yan think that Yelu Yalu had heard of Zhan Zhao's nickname.

Yun Yanhui took the painting back. Zheng Ping also liked this painting very much, and said that the next work was decided to draw this painting out.

Zhao Yunchu and Zheng Ling were also shown paintings by Zheng Ping when they came to his house to play. Zheng Ling saw that he wanted Yun Yan to introduce him to Yelu to exchange painting skills, but Zhao Yunchu was sour.

"I'll also feed cats, and I'll climb walls..."

Yun Yan Hui: Is this the problem? ?
