The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty - Chapter 275
Even if the leader is the leader, the living is not very good. In the entire Guangnan West Road area, most of them are inhabited by gates. Yun Yan witnessed it once in Guizhou, but because there was a lot of trade with the Han people, Shi Meilan still had furniture in her home.
As for the leader of the staff, there are no tables, chairs or beds in the room, and people sit and lie on the floor. Moreover, the houses here are divided into two floors, with the ground floor empty and used to raise livestock. At the same time, direct contact with wet ground is also avoided.
There is a proverb that it is cold and sunny when it rains, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The environment can be seen.
Yun Yanhui was taken to the home of the leader of the staff here. Although he had been unbound, there were still weapons secretly facing him as a precaution.
The leader tied a blue scarf on his head, sat on the cowhide mat, looked back at Yun Yan, and said a few words in native language. Yun Yan couldn’t understand it back, but he was very calm, and sure enough, the next moment the person next to him translated it in a somewhat awkward Miao language.
“You are a cat, why do you wear a Han costume and hang around with the Han?”
The Miao people are also called cat people. Yun Yan naturally knows that he is not surprised. He calls himself “Shishan” and explains: “In recent years, the government has moved many Han people to Guangnan. They have a lot of living needs. There are white cloth and dried fish in our stockade. We trade things with Han people. I dress like this to facilitate business.”
With that said, Yun Yanhui carefully took out the Miao medicine placed next to him, and showed them that this local person recognizes it and that the Miao people never sell this medicine to outsiders, which further proves Yun Yanhui’s identity.
The leader showed a bit of jealousy, and said something that was not translated, but Yun Yan guessed it back and guessed it, probably talking about a shrewd cat man.
The Tu people don’t have the concept of specializing in business. They believe that the Yunyanhui specifically exchanges materials for all the folks. In this way, this person still has some identity with them.
However, this can only make the staff not slow to abuse him, they don’t plan to just play Yun Yan back.
On the contrary, the leader’s eyes flashed, and he forced him to ask: “You didn’t tell the truth. You were arrested at the inn. Do you think we don’t know where the inn is? You exchange things with the Han, and you need to find officials from other places. Right?”
This “Stone Mountain” was really embarrassed and said: “This is not your business…”
“If you don’t tell the truth, then we can’t let you go. How can there be concealment between the brothers?”
Brother, that’s all when we rebelled together. Yun Yan glanced back at him, and reluctantly said: “I want to sell dried fish elsewhere. My mother-in-law’s sister married a Han post officer as a concubine. He said to go north, Han people I like to eat dried fish, which is very expensive. We eat dried fish for no money, and we can’t get much in exchange for it. Those Han people are willing to pay a high price.”
The leader showed a look of unbelief, “How is it possible, are the Han people stupid? Don’t they know how to make dried fish themselves?”
“But they don’t know how to make Hehuayu,” Yun Yan answered plausibly. “It is the fish raised in the rice fields. They named it Hehuayu. Some people raised fish like this in the north and made a lot of money. Money. But the fish is not enough, and it’s not as good as ours. I think it will make money if you sell it to the north.”
At this point, the leader is already dubious. Although he didn’t know what was going on with the Han people, the cat man was right, not like a fake.
The leader went back again and inquired about Yun Yan’s return to Guizhou. Yun Yan also answered fluently and truthfully. He even knew the situation of Shi Meilan’s house in detail, and the leader didn’t believe it. Looking at Yunyan’s return to thin skin and tender meat, he became a brother-in-law with a Han official, presumably the conditions are not bad.
While the leader was thinking, Yun Yan replied anxiously: “My brother-in-law is still in your hands. He is also injured. Although he is a Han, he is a relative with me anyway. Can he heal the injury? ?”
The leader rolled his eyes a few times and smiled: “Although it is difficult, we don’t have much medicine after all… But, yes, it depends on your face.”
When he ordered, someone went to the original house and brought Zhou Huilin over, then took the antidote and gave him an internal or external application.
Yun Yan didn’t talk to Zhou Huilin in reply, fearing that someone would be exposed if someone knew Chinese, so he quickly stepped forward and called him in deliberately vague and distorted Chinese: “Brother-in-law, how are you?”
Zhou Huilin stiffened, “…”
He rolled over, raised his hand to cover his eyes, hum haha.
“You must have nothing to do, brother-in-law, if you have something good or bad, what should my elder sister do? What shall we do.” Yun Yan returned with a worried expression, turned his head and said to the leader, “My brother-in-law’s goods are still under the mountain. In the warehouse, if we disappear, we might be taken over by others. Why don’t you put me down the mountain, I will take care of it, then come back and pay you back for the medicine, and take away my brother-in-law by the way. I can divide the proceeds from the sale of dried fish.”
The leader chuckled twice, “It’s not good, your brother-in-law is so weak, so you should accompany him. However, the goods are also a problem. Why don’t you tell me where the warehouse is and we will help you to see.”
Damn, it’s definitely gone at a glance. Yun Yan returned with a wary look, “Hehe, I don’t remember! I only remember when I saw a place!”
The leader also cursed in his heart and hummed: “Going down the mountain is definitely not allowed, we have rules.”
Yun Yan didn’t expect them to release the people, so it was not bad if he treated Zhou Huilin’s injuries. “Okay, I understand. You tell me how much the ‘medicine’ is, and just tell us the people in the village to deliver it.”
Seeing “Stone Mountain” on the road, the leader was very satisfied, “In addition, if this dried fish can be sold, in fact…we also have a lot of dried fish, I will sell it to your brother-in-law, and we can exchange it together when we go up the mountain. “
Yun Yan didn’t believe it at all, there will be a large number of dried fish here? Obviously, I want to take the opportunity to make another stroke.
However, Yun Yan was not afraid that he would ask for something, and looked like he was in pain, “…Okay, okay, then you must tell us the people in the village as soon as possible.”
The leader rubbed his hands, “It seems that your stockade and the Han people have made a lot of money.” Even his blackmailing only hesitated. The leader suddenly thought of the wind he had heard, and asked, “I heard that Shi Meilan is going to build a field in Guizhou to specialize in business, right?”
“It seems so, still discussing with the Han people.” Yun Yan replied.
“No wonder…no wonder…” the leader thought, then he should send a smart person to Guizhou to see how much he can get. There are very few people like Shishan in a stockade. Even if Shi Meilan could not be defrauded, they would have to hollow out their own home.
Because he was barely half of his own, although the leader prevented Yun Yan from returning, he didn’t treat him and Zhou Huilin harshly. He vacated a separate room for them and ordered them to “look after” outside.
Yun Yan didn’t feel anxious when he came back, asking someone to ask the leader for everything he wanted, and didn’t regard himself as an outsider.
On the first night, he went to the leader and said: “Although I am very embarrassed, it is like this. My brother-in-law was injured. I want to kill the sheep to replenish his body… Has the sheep gone?”
The leader secretly cursed in his heart, how rich the Miao people are, and when everyone can’t get enough to eat, he dare to ask for a sheep when he opens his mouth?
He was very unhappy and said: “When the sheep has not grown to the slaughter, it is not worthwhile to slaughter. Besides, if you two can’t eat a sheep, I will kill a chicken for you and give you some betel nuts. Your brother-in-law. The arm injury is not serious, but the poison is not completely cleared, and it is a little weak.”
This is still for the sake of knocking Yunyan back a sum, and he doesn’t want to make the relationship too stiff, and he will see each other in the future.
“Why do chickens have sheep tonic?” Yun Yan replied anxiously, “It’s just a sheep. My mother-in-law’s sister has 30 sheep. The big deal is to let her send two back to you. Otherwise, how many sheep will be damaged? It can’t be saved. Besides, we can’t eat much of a sheep, so we will share the rest with you.”
Don’t talk about sheep, he wants to talk about cows. The imperial court fasted cattle, and the people couldn’t hold back the repeated prohibitions. In this place where the emperor is far away from the mountain, it is even more so, it only depends on whether the leader is willing or not. Yun Yan replied that he still shouldn’t be so brutal at the beginning.
Let alone the leader, the translator next to him couldn’t help but swallow. Lamb, delicious lamb, how long have you not eaten it?
The leader heard this, and then reluctantly agreed, “Okay, our sheep are raised well, kill our sheep.”
When the time comes, there will be two more, both of them belong to their family.
…
On the other hand, after the doctor Wang got out of trouble, he went to Yizhou Yamen to self-report his identity and told them that the officials who were responsible for the emperor’s life had been taken away. In the worst case, while attracting the attention of the local government, he was still not at ease. It made people urgently report to Tokyo.
The best result is that Shun Shunli paid the ransom and picked the people out. But there are too many variables in this. I heard that the Tu people are cunning and greedy, they often turn back, and they are even more cruel to the Han people.
The doctor Wang lived a long time and saw a lot. He knew that the officials in remote places were mostly mobs, and it was difficult to do anything. Otherwise, they would not be robbed at the door and would not respond. Maybe he was afraid of death or perfunctory. That’s it.
Therefore, the doctor Wang simply reported directly, with Zhou Huilin and Yun Yan back to the back of the two, the strength of either party was enough to put pressure on the local government, even if the local government could not do it, the army could be transferred.
The news that Yun Yanhui and Zhou Huilin had been taken into the mountains was quickly spread to Tokyo, which caused an uproar within a certain range.
Take the lead in these two, one is the son of the important minister, guarding the army, and the other is the favored minister of the emperor, the powerful subordinate of the prime minister. Behind it, there are even more interest entanglements. Most people don’t want them to have trouble.
As an emperor, Renzong had a very big handwriting. He immediately said: “Then I can’t let the two young people have an accident. I ordered Yizhou Zhizhou to deal with the matter with all his strength. The army transferred 10,000 people to assist.”
On the other hand, Yun Yan’s friends were also very anxious.
Zhao Yunchu was extremely anxious and asked to rush to Guangnan. He would not be at ease if he did not see Ge Yan get out of trouble as soon as possible. Those people are unreasonable. No matter how smart Yan Geer is, what should I do if I encounter unreasonable people?
I heard that they couldn’t even understand Chinese, so how could they understand the truth?
However, even if Renzong can understand Zhao Yunchu, neither can his parents.
In such a dangerous place, not to mention the fierce Tu people, the poisonous miasma on the ground is terrible. Now that prisoners and degraded officials are sent there, the edicts of the emperor are difficult to implement, and it is a completely barren land. It may be even more dangerous than the market or the Liao State.
The princes and concubines persuaded Zhao Yunchu that if an official ordered it, it would be okay. Just stay in the capital and wait for the good news. No matter how good the relationship is, you can’t be arrogant. How can a person be against a thousand troops?
Zhao Yunchu was so angry and anxious that he couldn’t speak.
He sat in the yard sullenly, side by side with Zhao Yundi, and complained. At this time, only Zhao Yundi could let him speak his heart.
“… Brother Yan didn’t say goodbye to me, so he went to Guangnan in a hurry,” Zhao Yunchu wiped away tears. “I can’t see him for a moment, and I can’t feel at ease for a moment. If something happens to him, oooo…”
Zhao Yundi glanced at Zhao Yunchu pitifully, “Ge Yan has his own natural form, and he is so likable. The barbarians may at best leave him as an opportunist. Unlike Zhou Huilin, his mouth may have been given to him at the time. It’s chopped.”
Zhao Yunchu’s tears soared even more, and Zhao Yundi silently hugged his shoulders to comfort him.
The princess walked out of the house slowly, and saw that Zhao Yunchu had fallen out of the golden peas, loving and funny, she couldn’t help but ridicule: “Why are you still crying? I know that you are better than Ge Yan, but you look at Mrs. Zheng Sitting at home and waiting, can you kiss more than others?”
Her original intention was to tease, but Zhao Yunchu’s heart was pierced.
Zhao Yunchu only felt emotions boiling in his chest. He knew that he was irrational, but he still didn’t hold it back. He blurted out: “Aniang, in fact, I have been in love with Ge Yan for a long time.”
Zhao Yundi looked over at Zhao Yunchu in shock.
The princess didn’t seem to understand, “Huh?”
Zhao Yunchu: “Yes, it’s true. I didn’t laugh with you. Even Bai Yutang has to go to Guizhou. If I don’t go, how can I meet you?”
The princess’s expression was frozen on her face, and she couldn’t digest what Zhao Yunchu said for a while.
…
The princess’s face was pale, her hands trembling, she looked around, turned around and grabbed a ruler from the room.
Zhao Yundi glanced at the familiar object and pulled Zhao Yunchu: “You have to hear what someone said, run away quickly!”
The princess walked up to Zhao Yunchu and asked in a trembling voice, “You say it again?”
Zhao Yunchu had already reacted, knowing that he was impulsive, but it was hard to get over the water. He turned his face slightly and lowered his eyes, and said stubbornly: “I have admired Brother Yan for many years, just like you and Dad.”
The princess raised the ruler, but Zhao Yunchu did not evade, only closed his eyes.
The princess shed tears and drew the ruler on Zhao Yundi in disbelief.
Zhao Yundi: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh??
