Song people like to keep pets, otherwise the Daxiangguo Temple would not have a dedicated area to sell birds and animals. Needless to say, cats and dogs, fish, birds, turtles and insects are equally popular.
Yun Yanhui has a lot of things to do on weekdays and has no 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, which was especially valuable.
Some people say that turtles grow hair for thousands of years. At that time, people thought that the green-haired turtle was a kind of auspicious thing, and the hair on its back 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 because algae grow on her back!
However, who called it valuable, so Yunyan bought back a large tank, put the green-haired turtle in it, and transplanted some water plants in it.
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, "But take good care of it, this is the imperial turtle."
But Zheng Ping asked, "Don't talk about this, can you visit your master? Didn't you say that the official family would 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 a doctor for 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 in the name of the report, so now he is waiting outside the Renzong Hall.
Because he often came in to report, he had made meritorious deeds, and he was the grandson of the Zheng family, so he was familiar with many courtiers.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was also waiting, came over and said, "I heard that Xiao Lang was in the palace a few days ago and got a green turtle?"
Wow, didn't expect the cheap thing to spread so quickly when I saw it
Yunyan nodded reservedly.
The waiter winked, "Brother likes to keep turtles the most. I heard that the green turtle in the palace has seven or eight inches of hair.
"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 he didn't force it, "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."
Yun Yanhui smiled friendly, "Definitely."
Yun Yan returned to report at Renzong, and went to the Empress Dowager with him. At this time, she had already seen the little princess and was teaching Zen to the Empress Dowager. When she saw Renzong, she greeted her.
Renzong hurriedly excused himself from the ceremony and asked him how he took his pulse.
Knowing it, the words are amazing, "The little princess is thin, and it was brought in by the womb, so 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, some children were 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 he heard that the eighth princess could grow up healthily, Renzong naturally agreed, "Okay, I will make an order in a few days, and ask You Wu to lead the practice."
The Empress Dowager Yang also reminded her, "Since this is the case, the official family should remember that in the future, keep the title of "Young Wu Shi" and give her the title of Princess." The Empress Dowager also loves the Princess and asks the official family to remember. For 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 have to shave, she has worshipped Lingran as her conversion teacher, and she is going to give her a lecture.
A Buddhist disciple may have multiple teachers in his life, not necessarily all of them are passed down by himself. Speaking of this conversion, when Yun Yanhui was in modern times, he knew that Buddhist temples at that time had websites where online conversions could be made.
For this reason, the eighth princess called Yun Yan back now, and called her senior brother!
When Yun Yanhui was called for the first time, she was dizzy.
Oh my god, I've become a princess' brother!
In other words, it was his master who was very good. The old monk said a few words and became the princess's conversion teacher. With a high level of business, he was a mess, and he climbed much faster than his disciple.
When Renzong saw Yun Yan's boneless appearance, he 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 seniority.
Yunyan went back to draw the drawings, and asked people to make models of the houses, all of them in pastel 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.
And 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 Brother Yan was better than him when he was a child.
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.
Take a look, very strange.
"I've always felt that Yunyan's calligraphy - not to mention calligraphy - writing is very 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 in general The handwriting is still the same.
This is a bit worth pondering, his words, among adults, among the talented Song people, are nothing. Among young children, however, it is excellent.
"Could it be that it's already an hour, and it's not necessarily better?" Renzong pondered.
Yun Yan replied: "Uh..."
However, Zhao Yunchu was very angry for Yun Yanhui, "Guanjia, 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 and thinks it's unnecessary. It's like he reads After two years, he stopped reading the book, because it was enough, so he had to concentrate his energy. With Brother Yan's intelligence, no matter what he does, he will be successful, it's just whether he is willing or not!"
Zhao Yunchu impassively defended Yun Yan's reply.
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 will 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. A lot of times, people who thought they were great when they were young, feel nothing when they grew 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.
Yun Yan replied: "Ashamed, ashamed... Don't be known, keep a low profile."
Renzong: "..."
Zhao Yunchu: "Mmmmmmm!"
Yun Yanhui was naturally joking, and he felt that he was more shrewdly standing on the shoulders of giants. Zhao Yunchu looked like this, and he was helpless.
Renzong shook his head, "Let's go, I don't want to see you."
…
Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were kicked out together, he spread his hands, "It's still early, I won't go back to work, you can accompany me to the Daxiangguo Temple, I ordered something last time at the temple fair, and I made an appointment. Pick up today."
He looked at Zhao Yunchu as a coolie, but Zhao Yunchu was happy.
The two went to the Daxiangguo Temple, Yun Yanhui went straight to the pet area, and at the front of 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 packed 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 then paid the rest of the money.
Zhao Yunchu also knew that Yun Yanhui had recently acquired a green-haired turtle and kept it at home as a treasure, and made a special tank. But he didn't expect that he ordered twenty more tortoises here, but these twenty are ordinary tortoises, so I couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Brother Yan, are these all raised by you?"
"Yeah, 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, "Did you raise turtles to make them taste good? But, you don't need to raise 20, right? How much space does it take up?"
"You don't know, this is the golden king." Yun Yan replied.
Zhao Yunchu: "...Golden King Eight?"
No matter how you look at it, they are all ordinary turtles, the most ordinary kind.
Yun Yan glanced back at Zhao Yunchu, 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 turtles, this is just a 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 act as if nothing had happened. But soon, after Yun Yan's reply was digested by him, he couldn't control his expression, "What?"
Yun Yan raised a finger back, "Shh."
He was a little proud and whispered to Zhao Yunchu: "I have already discovered that the hair on the back of this green-haired bastard 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 that this is all Is it influenced by the royal tortoise given by the official family... Well, or assimilation? Anyway, it grows green hair. It will only take a few months before the 'hair' will grow back. So, do you think these are golden kings? "
There are so many tortoises, which add up to no money, but after they are artificially made into green-haired tortoises and sold, their value will rise thousands of times. This is simply huge profits! Of course this is the Golden King!
Zhao Yunchu's eyes widened involuntarily, and 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
All he can say is 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 any hesitation.
Zhao Yunchu said stupidly, "Brother Yan, you are so smart."
He really couldn't think of any reason why he didn't like Brother Yan.
"You're welcome, I'll give you one when the time comes." Yun Yan winked back, unable to hide her smile. Money is second, it's really fun to play like this.
If he hadn't found that there was something to write about, how could he have put so much thought into making offerings to the green-haired turtle? It's better if he sells it for cash!
Hey, Dasong Pet Turtle Market, tremble!
