The Rebirth of Da Yan

Chapter 4 Reunion

After the heavy snow solar term, it will be November, which is the day when elementary school starts.Qing Feng has already greeted Yuan Xian, the doctor of the dynasty, and personally took Qing Yun to visit Ye Jian, Dr. Yuan's first disciple. Ye Jian is young, but knowledgeable. Even Yuan Xian, who is rigorous in his studies, is full of praise: "This son will be above me in time." Ye Jian is currently serving as the teacher of the elementary school, and most of the children of the family who are the same age as Qing Yun are his students.

Ye Jian looks upright, low-key, dressed in plain dark Confucian clothes, and looks no different from ordinary people, but his expression is slightly restrained, his voice is flat and upright, his conversation is extraordinary, his demeanor is light and awe-inspiring, and there is a hint of calm and prestige Even if you are submerged in the crowd, you can distinguish it at a glance.When he exchanged greetings with Qingfeng, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was very polite. Qingfeng was secretly happy, deeply feeling that he had found the right person, and also vaguely understood where Dr. Yuan's self-satisfaction came from.

Ye Jian looked at Qing Yun and asked him a few simple questions. Primary school teaching begins with the classic Four Books and Five Classics. Although it is called Enlightenment, it does not explain the meaning word by word. , the children of high-ranking officials and noble families ask their teachers to teach and read at home since they were young, and then enter elementary school when they are twelve or three years old. Ordinary children who have no money for enlightenment are excluded.

It has only been half a month since Qing Yun woke up in Qing Yun's body. Although Qing Feng also invited a teacher to enlighten him at home, time is tight and there is not much to learn.Fortunately, he was taught by Mr. Zhaoyuan in his previous life, so he could recognize a lot of Chinese characters, barely reaching the minimum level for entering elementary school.

Ye Jian was quite satisfied with Qing Yun's performance, so he immediately accepted Shu Xiu, and after the entrance ceremony, Qing Yun would be able to officially enroll.

The entrance ceremony was held on a bright winter day. Several ministers and noble children of the same age gathered in front of the school, among them was the son of the prime minister—the child king who had been beaten up by Qing Yun, and several of the children he led. little brother.The children from rich families who were playing like monkeys half a month ago are dressed very formally today, looking like dogs. When the prime minister’s son saw Qing Yun approaching, his eyes almost popped out, but he pursed his mouth and said nothing. Didn't say anything.

When the time came, Ye Jian came out to straighten the clothes and clean hands of each child. The children performed the salute to the teacher, and handed over the gifts such as dried meat and red dates to the teacher. Even if they officially became primary school students, the children followed Ye Jian into the school , the gate was full of bullock carts and servants waiting to be picked up.

Ye Jian arranged seats for each student, and the child Wang happened to be sitting next to Qing Yun.When Qing Yun heard him apprenticeship just now, she said that her name was Zheng Xun, and she was also 12 years old.

The three years of elementary school are fleeting, and Zheng Xun has become much better since he entered school. Originally, Qing Yun was already mentally prepared for a long-term struggle with him, but who knows that it is safe and sound, and the daily conversations are mainly about discussing schoolwork. , when the 15-year-old boy reached the age of pulling a stick, Qing Yun was taller than Liu Shi, while Zheng Xun, who was already tall and strong, grew faster, and his stature was almost close to that of an adult.Recently, Qing Yun noticed that Zheng Xun always turned his head to this side, not knowing what he was looking at.When he looked over, Zheng Xun turned back again, pretending to be nonchalant, so that Qing Yun had to be on guard all the time, lest he was thinking about some bad move again.

Recently, Chief Secretary Qingfeng has been busy with affairs, and Qingyun has also heard some rumors from his father.The Huns had been peaceful for a few years and couldn't hold back. Several counties on the border were harassed and miserable and wrote to the imperial court to ask for support.After the big man defeated the Xiongnu last time, he was also seriously injured. Now he is busy resting his life and recuperating. It is impossible to defeat the Xiongnu in a short period of time.But he couldn't let the people suffer, so the emperor decided to negotiate peace with the Huns again.The imperial court was divided into the main war faction and the main peace faction, and the two sides quarreled fiercely. The main combat faction was dominated by military generals and vowed to be ashamed; the main peace faction was mainly civil servants. There is a big battle, it is recommended to delay time with a marriage.The military generals scolded the civil officials for harming the country, and the civil servants scolded the military officials for being short-sighted, and no one would let anyone else go.In the end, it was the emperor who made the final decision to make a marriage, but Da Shanyu went further and named the royal princess, who was the emperor's favorite Princess Anhua.

On the day of Princess Anhua’s marriage, the emperor issued an edict of amnesty to the world to pray for the princess. All the civil and military officials lined up to welcome the princess. Da Shan Yu Dashang came to marry her in person. The 16-year-old Princess Anhua married the emperor who was younger than her father. The older one is Shanyu.However, the negotiation between the Han and the Hungarians also stipulated that the Huns would send the only son of King Zuoxian to the Han Dynasty as a hostage, so Tu Qilu came with him. This is why the Shangyuan Festival will be held three days later. The Lantern Festival, the reason why Qingyun met Tu Qilu and his party by chance.

The Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival is the grandest celebration of the year, and the wives and young ladies who are usually raised in the boudoir can also go out and play to their heart's content on this day.Qing Yun and her mother booked a table in the restaurant with their servants. Qing Feng first went to the reception of his colleagues, and then came to join them.In the Han Dynasty, gatherings of people to drink alcohol were usually prohibited, and the ban on alcohol was only lifted on special days, such as the Shangyuan Festival. Not only could people gather for drinking, but the imperial court would also distribute fine wine to each family, so that even poor families could enjoy it to their heart's content on this day.

Not only that, the Han court also strictly controlled meat, because it is now the stage of rest and recuperation. In order not to increase the burden on the common people, the meat of dignitaries and dignitaries is strictly rationed. Fish and meat, the owner of this family can be cut off from the noble or jailed, and the Qing family is no exception. They can only eat some broth every day, and only on the day of Shangyuan can they open their stomachs to eat meat.

Qingyun’s living habits are already very different from his previous life. The only thing he can’t forget is that he can eat meat in the Huns. However, the Huns are not proficient in cooking. The meat is either smoked or dried. The Han people are incomparable, and I feel relieved when I think of this.

The location of the restaurant is very good, Qing Yun and his mother are sitting on the third floor, just can see the lights of the city tower in the distance, the streets of Chang'an are also covered with lanterns, some craftsmen are pushing carts full of lanterns along the street to sell, mouth There are auspicious words in the house, and people are willing to spend a little money to get a lottery at this time. On this day, almost all businessmen can make a lot of money, even beggars can make a small fortune, and the atmosphere of joy is everywhere. It enveloped this eastern city that never sleeps.

It was the first time for Tu Qilu and the guards he brought to see such a scene. They were used to the vast grassland with sparsely populated land, and were instantly dazzled by the crowds of people in Chang'an.The young Huns had never seen so many lights, more than the stars on the grassland. Tu Qilu, the only one among them who could speak Chinese, asked the imperial court to allow them to go out for a tour. I gave them a sum of pocket money to show the big man's mind.

There were three other guards traveling with him, namely Ruodi and the other two sons of the royal family.Since Ruodi emerged in the battle against Donghu Xianbei three years ago, he has not only won the appreciation of the Great Chanyu, but also the approval of most of the Huns, and inherited the throne of Youxian King.This time he came to Chang'an as Tu Qilu's guard, also to complete the task entrusted to him by the Da Shanyu. Regardless of the fact that the two sides have temporarily established a peace covenant, Da Shang Shanyu's ambitions are not limited to this, he wants The most important thing is the vast land and numerous people of the Han Dynasty. Only by including everything in the Han Dynasty can he complete his great cause.

Ruodi has no objection to this. As a citizen of the Huns, he is well aware of the fragility of the grassland. The continued expansion of the population of the Huns will definitely destroy the ecology of the grasslands on which they depend. Only by holding it firmly in your hands can you solve the worries of the Huns.Tu Qilu was the candidate for the next Xiongnu Shanyu, and he naturally knew of the plan of the Shanyu, but he did not approve of Shanyu's conquest of the Han Dynasty.Tu Qilu, who was influenced by Mr. Zhao Yuan since he was a child, is an out-and-out pro-Han faction. He believes that the civilization of the Han Dynasty is much more advanced than that of the Xiongnu, and the Huns should take the initiative to learn the system and technology of the Han Dynasty, and even writing.Dashang Shanyu didn't like his attitude, so he sent him to the Han Dynasty as a hostage, trying to sway his rights, so as to teach him to recognize his identity.Ruodi actually came to monitor him.

After receiving the money, Tu Qilu distributed it to the other three. The Huns didn't need money, but they had seen Han Dynasty coins when they looted the Han people. It's all a strange feeling.Ruo Di was walking beside Tu Qilu. He didn't understand Chinese, and seeing the hawkers around him didn't know what to say, Tu Qilu's way of talking made him a little annoyed.The two children of the royal family who were walking behind were heartless and soon got used to it. They made gestures and traded with the merchants, and embraced them in a short while.Those who have a leisurely mind are like Tu Qilu, who even bought a lantern and lit it up and carried it in his hand.

The four of them stopped and went, admiring the lanterns and beauties of the Han people at the same time. It was very pleasant.When they realized that they were about to finish walking a street, they had basically bought all the shops along the street, and the purses of the three of them were much lighter. Only Ruodi didn't buy anything, and still fell heavily to the side.At the end of the street is a restaurant with a thriving business. The restaurant is facing the river. You can see the river lanterns flowing from the palace at first glance. This restaurant looks at the river lanterns. There are all kinds of river lanterns swaying in the long river. With fine wine, the full moon in the sky, laughing and drinking with friends, there is nothing happier than this in life.

Ruodi didn't know there was a beautiful scenery here, he was just hungry and wanted to find a place to fill his stomach.Tu Qilu and the others wanted to go to the river to light the lanterns, but Ruodi wasn't interested, so they agreed to come to this restaurant to find him after the lanterns were lit.Xiaoer came to say hello attentively, but when he saw Ruodi's face, he paused obviously, and then said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, guest officer, this restaurant is already full, why don't you go to another place to have a look?"

"..." Ruodi couldn't understand, he gestured for eating without changing his expression, then took out a bag of money and handed it to Xiaoer.

Xiao Er had served so many guests, so he was naturally discerning. Seeing that the other party was silent and generous, he acquiesced in his heart that he was a big man, and led Ruo Di to the private room of the distinguished guests on the third floor.

Ruodi followed Xiaoer to a seat, and on the table were exquisite snacks presented by the restaurant, and beside them were two thin bamboo sticks. Ruodi knew they were chopsticks, but he didn't know how to use them.He wanted to ask Xiao Er to bring the spoon, so he kept saying spoon in the Hun language, and gestured while speaking, his voice was a little high, which startled the neighbors.Qing Yun was chatting with her mother, Liu Shi was dressed up today, she was extraordinarily beautiful, Qing Yun made a tribute to her mother with a newly learned meter, and was accepting her mother's praise with a smile, when she was suddenly distracted by the Hun language next door.After asking his mother for instructions, Qing Yun walked into the cubicle.He first bowed his head to salute the people inside, and then got up to translate the words of the customers to the waiter in the store who was stupidly beside him.

When he turned around and saw the sitting person, he was stunned.
