Yun Yan 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 and Su Da had slapped Liao’s envoys in the face, and the Liao envoy brought up an absolute question that everyone in his country could not match: Sanguang, Sun, Moon, and Star. As a result, Su Shi gave three kinds in minutes. One of the solutions is "four virtues and 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's just that it 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 envoy would test others with a purpose. These households who played with the group did not think about so many things between countries.
After all, Song and Liao have been at peace for many years, and the competition is left to the officials above, and 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 could only honestly say, "I'm a temporary worker, and I'm not educated, so I won't be sent as an ambassador."
They didn't know what a temporary worker was, so Yun Yan said it back, because he didn't take part in the scientific examination and didn't have an organization.
Yelu Yalu felt a special pity, "If a talent like you comes to our Liao Kingdom, he will definitely be an official."
Yun Yan sighed in her heart, what's the matter, is this to solve the problem of programming for him? It seems that this person really has bad intentions, he must have inquired about him...
Yun Yanhui squinted at Yelu's shoes.
Yelu said sincerely: "The Babao glutinous rice you cooked is very delicious, and our country lord also likes to eat glutinous rice."
Yunyan replied: "..."
When the others heard it, they also agreed.
Yun Yanhui is simply drunk, your country is too casual!
In front of me is a man who was exonerated because he did a good job of painting pictures of the emperor. 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 doing? Will people see such anecdotes after thousands of years? According to records, Kaifeng temporary workers went to Liao State and became an official with the skill of cooking glutinous rice with one hand
"No, 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 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 of the members of the diplomatic corps of the Song Kingdom, and if necessary, he can ask someone to purchase it.
"The first one is naturally pearls," Yelu said proudly. "You should have heard of this. You Song people love it very much. They are called Beizhu, and they are famous for their excellent light and quality."
Yun Yan thought back and said, this can be bought and given to the family members of the family, women should like it very much. And at this time, although Beizhu was popular, it was not too expensive, and he could afford it.
Yelu walked eloquently and introduced Yun Yan back. Because he is not good in Chinese, 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!"
Yelu was walking, and Yun Yanhui suddenly heard the word "watermelon", and agitated, "Wait, what are you talking about? Watermelon?"
Yelu paused, "Yes, 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.
Yun Yanhui 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!
"Why do you have watermelons in your place?" Liao is not the origin of watermelons.
Yelu replied, "Back then, when we broke through the Western Regions and defeated the Uighurs, we brought back the watermelon seeds. We in Daliao covered the shed with cow dung, but it seems that the Uighur melons are still more delicious..."
Damn, that's right, isn't the Uighur the Uyghur people later on
Yun Yan patted her forehead back, 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'm not familiar with the people from the Uyghur embassy."
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 continued to do business. the 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 his chest, "I'll go back and collect some watermelon seeds for you, and then ask the embassy of your country or our country to bring it back to you next time."
Next time, the birthdays of He Zhengdan and Emperor He are inherent in a year. Yun Yanhui also understood that because of entertaining envoys, the birthday of Liao Xingzong is at the end of February. If Song envoys are entrusted, then the seeds of April and May can also be used. Come back with the embassy.
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 ask them Ask your relatives and friends to help you get the seeds."
"What's the problem 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 was extremely happy when she thought of getting the seeds, being able to grow watermelons, and eating watermelons next year, not to mention all kinds of derivatives.
Yelu 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 portrait for you."
Yun Yan Hui Wan never expected that he would say that, I will go, this is the emperor's treatment!
Although he complained that the Liao Emperor was too casual, but he was able to avoid his sins with a single painting, which shows how profound his painting skills are.
When Yunyan returned, Ai Ai said, "Then why are you embarrassed... Can you draw me in Kaifeng Mansion?"
Yelu curled up: "..."
…
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. , you don’t have to look and draw.”
so smart? Yun Yanhui felt that she was really shocked after wearing it, and she didn't know why there were so many great people.
Yunyan returned to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion and let Yelu walk carefully to observe.
Daxiangguo Temple and Kaifeng Mansion are both very important to him, and they have fulfilled his abilities, and the people in both places are very good, which makes 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 down to future generations, but he is looking forward to it.
Yun Yanhui was thinking in a trance, and suddenly heard a cat meowing, so she looked up and saw that it was Da Mao who appeared cautiously at the top of the wall, looked at him, then turned back to meow, and then a few other Maos also appeared. on the wall.
Yun Yan 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 time, a voice came, and then another person climbed up, hanging his hands on the wall, and calling Liu Mao in his mouth, and immediately saw Yun Yan returning, and immediately Stunned, Jun's face turned red.
Yun Yanhui's smile deepened, and she shouted meaningfully: "Zhan Guard."
Because of the "royal cat", 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 always seemed indifferent to these cats on weekdays. .
Never thought of it...
Zhan Zhao looked very awkward, "I'm just afraid they'll get lost..."
The more he spoke, the weaker his voice became, and as soon as his hand was loosened, he fell off the wall and disappeared.
Regarding the fact that Yelu walked in a photo, Zhao Yunchu became very unhappy later.
Yelu was very fast in painting, and he finished painting before he left, and gave it to Yunyan back.
Yun Yan looked back and saw that the painting was indeed a vivid self, standing at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, smiling, and the interesting thing was that there were six cats and a Zhan Zhao painted on the courtyard wall next to them, all slanted. He turned his head to look at Yun Yanhui at the door.
Yunyan replied: "..."
Yun Yanhui was a little crazy at first, and 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 Yanhui 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 make this painting out.
When Zhao Yunchu and Zheng Ling came to his house to play, they were also shown paintings by Zheng Ping. Zheng Ling saw that he wanted Yunyan to introduce him to Yelu to exchange painting skills, but Zhao Yunchu was sour.
"I'll also feed cats and I'll climb walls too..."
Yun Yanhui: Is this the problem?
