My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

In the next two months, Ye An took classes step by step to earn money.It is worth mentioning that Hengzhi Qingfen and the sugar factory were somehow known to other countries, and many foreigners came to negotiate business with him.However, just to be on the safe side, the Ministry of Ye Security declined. The situation around the Northern Song Dynasty was so chaotic, it would be a disaster if he was labeled as a collaborator.

Today is a holiday again, Ye An invites Shouyue Zhai and a few roommates who have time to have dinner at Fenglelou, the largest restaurant in the capital.Some time ago, the same Zhaishe helped him a lot, and now Ye An has more money in his pocket every day, and he often organizes dinners in order to repay him.

The teenagers were very excited. Although they are all noble and high-ranking officials in their families, because they are young, they receive a fixed amount of money every month. They don't come to places like Fengle Building very often.

Fengle Building, also known as Fan Lou, is located outside Donghua Gate in Bianliang.Not only wine making and selling, but also a variety of singing and dancing performances, three stories high, five floors facing each other, bead curtains embroidered foreheads, and candles shining brightly.

As soon as the few people entered, they saw a wide platform erected in the middle of the hall. Five or six young and middle-aged people were performing juggling on the stage, with smooth movements and various tricks. The audience below applauded and applauded.With the completion of the construction of the venue, the football league organized by Qiyun Club is also in full swing. The people have their own star teams, and the games are often full of seats.The popularity of the new style of Cuju has also driven Cuju performances, and now there are many Cuju performers in Wazi, and the audience enjoys watching it with gusto.

Ye An and the others also met Guo Zhonghe, who sat in the front row with a few of his boys.Although he bowed his head to Ye An because of the new style of Cuju, he was ashamed in school, but he is still a very fanatical Cuju fan, and even paid to organize his own team.Seeing Ye An, Guo Zhonghe was obviously taken aback, then snorted coldly, expressing his disdain.

This made Ye An feel like playing tricks again, and originally planned to call his little brother over to ask questions, but in the end he thought about going out to save him some face.So he turned around and took his roommates up to the box he had booked a long time ago on the second floor.

After everyone was seated, they expressed dissatisfaction with Fangcai Guo Zhonghe's attitude. Qu Chengzhi said, "What's the air? We, Brother An, didn't make Cuju. You don't know, he has raised a football team since he was in the Imperial College. Bragging every day, saying that he wants to win more league championships, and hold the trophy "Pangu Cup". In fact, his bad team didn't even pass the first round, and now he squats in the restaurant tile all day long, just trying to find good seedlings to get in. "

"No way, the Guo family is so rich, can't they afford to hire a good football player?" The teenagers ignited their hearts of gossip.

"No and no," Xiao Jingjing slapped her fan twice, denying inscrutablely.Since he watched the puppet show of the Three Kingdoms a while ago, he replaced the folding fan with a more realistic lupine, cosplaying Zhuge Liang in school all day long.Under the urging of everyone, he proudly said: "Then Guo Zhonghe was really unlucky, because he had to prepare for the final exam, so he missed the best time. When he came back to his senses, people with good skills would have been singled out After all, everyone knows that the Cuju team makes money now, and the ticket share alone is a lot of money. It's a pity for Brother An, because you, the founder, don't get any benefits."

"Ah? No need, I'm not short of money, and it's too troublesome to manage the team." Ye An shrugged. His house only has such a small space, and he has to arrange board and lodging for the players, so he can't be a shopkeeper I don't want to live by myself.

Hearing Ye An's rich and powerful speech, the students were envious for a while.Zhao Zongshu sighed: "It would be great if I could also be in charge of the house earlier, and then I won't have to ask my father for pocket money all the time."

Others also echoed: "Yeah, I mentioned to my mother that I want to double my monthly salary, but she actually said that I want to marry a daughter-in-law to increase my salary. I don't want to get married, I just want to play all day long!"

"Hey, me too. Women are so annoying. My elder sister bullies me every day. I hope she gets married soon and someone else tortures me." Xiao Jingjing complained with a wrinkled face.

Ye Anjiong looked at the students with enthusiasm, and quickly changed the subject and asked the restaurant to quickly serve the dishes.

Fengle Building can be called "the first floor of Bianliang". In addition to the luxurious decoration, the food is naturally passable.Because there were a lot of people and they were all at the age where they could eat, Ye An specially ordered the famous "Xianglong Shuangfei Banquet".The dragon refers to the flying dragon bird, which is a precious ingredient in the Liao Kingdom. It tastes delicious and is a rare delicacy.Shuangfei has two dishes, "Peacock Spreading its Tail" and "Magpie Climbing Plum Blossoms". The ingredients selected are all hard-to-find things such as sea bass, scallops, and puffer fish.There are four dried fruits, four candied fruit, seven appetizers and five main courses. The table is full and the teenagers are hooked.

Just as everyone toasted and drank to their hearts content, suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, as if someone was causing trouble, the teenagers didn't care and continued to drink.After a while, Dr. Jiu ran up with a sad face, and said eagerly to the crowd: "Everyone, the gentleman surnamed Guo is your friend."

Everyone looked at each other, a little hesitant, friends... it shouldn't be counted...

Dr. Jiu scratched his head, that Guo Langjun was rich and powerful, he didn't look like an ordinary person.When Ye An came to order the banquet before, he was wearing the clothes of the Imperial College, and felt that they were of the same age, so he subconsciously thought that the two were related, didn't they?

"Don't worry about it, what's wrong with him?" Ye An asked with a frown.

"Ah! That's right!" The wine doctor was not very old, and he was a little bit like Yuanbao. At this time, he came back to his senses and shouted: "That Mr. Guo Lang is about to be beaten to death, you go quickly!" Let's see."

The teenagers were shocked when they heard that, except at the sacrificial wine, when did Guo Zhonghe suffer?Even Ye An can only take advantage of it verbally, and now someone in the capital dares to beat him? !But no matter what, we are classmates after all, so the Guozijian team rushed downstairs to check.

As soon as I arrived at the lobby on the first floor, I found that unlike the previous crowds, the guests had almost left.Xu was worried about getting into trouble, and many people didn't even pay the salute.

And just in front of the stands, there were a few people lying down in disorder, who seemed to be the subordinates of Guo Zhonghe.Looking further away, I saw Guo Zhonghe lying on the ground, and a tall boy was stepping on his back, saying something, and the people around him laughed out loud.And Guo Zhonghe himself looked humiliated, trying to get up but couldn't move.

Even though he had many conflicts with Fat Hu on a daily basis, Ye An's face was sombre at this time, and he hit him whenever he wanted, how could he be so humiliating.He exchanged glances with Di Yong and nodded, Di Yong immediately flew forward and rescued Guo Zhonghe.

Because his action was too sudden, the boy only had time to block it with his hand, and then he could only watch helplessly as he took him away.

Fortunately, although Guo Zhonghe was embarrassed, he suffered some flesh injuries, but his face was extremely ugly.It's no wonder that he thinks highly of himself, and now that he is so embarrassing in front of his classmates, he probably can't get over this hurdle in his heart.Seeing that he was fine, Ye An heaved a sigh of relief.Turning his head to look at the tall boy, he suddenly froze after seeing clearly.

This man...why is he so young...he's from the Mediterranean Sea.I saw the young man wearing a red robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, with a white singlet inside, a leather belt around his waist, boots on his feet, and fur decorations on his shoulders, looking very luxurious.But there is no bare hair on the top of his head, only a small amount of hair left on the temples.The boy has deep facial features and a heroic face, but he is so "bald", no matter how good-looking he is, he can't stand it.

Ye An was angry at first, but when he was interrupted like this, he turned his attention to his forehead.Looking at the people around the young man, Ye An became even more puzzled, what the hell?Why is baldness contagious? !

The boy stepped forward. This person was tall and mighty, and with the fur on his shoulders, he felt very oppressive. If it wasn't for the slightly immature face, he would be no different from an adult.

"It was you who fished out that fat man?" He stared at Di Yong, with some interest in his eyes: "My name is Yelu Baoxinnu, who are you? You are very skilled, much better than that fat man Alright, are you interested in making gestures?"

"Are you from Liao?" Fan Chunren frowned. How could Liao people be in Bianliang, and they seemed to be of high status.

Yelv Baoxinnu glanced at him, and ignored him when he saw that he was a weakling. They in Daliao only respected the strong, and in this room full, the only one who deserved his attention was the one who saved lives.Stretching his body, he said lazily, "Hey, are you going to hit me? It doesn't look like it sounds strong, but it's actually a coward. If that's the case, you're not as good as that fat man."

At this moment, Ye An couldn't bear it any longer. Why is this guy so annoying, so he said, "I'm obviously a bald man, and if I don't fight with you, I'm worried about the infection of alopecia areata!"

"This is hair! It is a symbol of our Khitan men's masculinity!" This sentence hit the nail on the head, and Yelv Baoxinnu was extremely angry. Since he came to the Song Dynasty, people without knowledge always said that he was bald!Today he is going to teach this bastard who talks nonsense a lesson.

However, following the source of the sound, Yelu Baoxinnu seemed to be struck by lightning.

How can there be such a beautiful person in the world!I saw that man's skin was as white as the best porcelain in the Song Dynasty, his pink lips were like the petals of peach blossoms in March, and there was a red mole between his eyebrows.This... Could this be a real fairy?

From the royal family to the common people in the Liao Kingdom, most of them believed in Buddhism. Now Ye An is no different from a Bodhisattva in the heart of Yelv Baoxinnu.He strode forward, and saluted Ye An under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Beautiful girl, please allow your believers to offer blessings, can you tell me your name?" Yelv Baoxinnu said piously.

The sudden scene stunned everyone in front of them, what girl?Isn't this Liao man's brain broken?It took a long time to react, and the teenagers roared with laughter.

Yelv Baoxinnu frowned: "What are you laughing at? Do you want to eat your fist?" Then he looked at Ye An with expectant eyes——then he saw the beauty's face that exploded from embarrassment.

"Damn me! Are you bald because you have bad eyes!! Can't you tell that I'm a man!?" Ye An's blood was surging, and he was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say.It can be foreseen that this matter will spread throughout the Guozijian tomorrow, and it will accompany him throughout his schooling career.

"The beauty is just joking, it's fine if you don't want to tell me your name, anyway, I will know sooner or later. But you Song people are so conservative, and it really doesn't matter if you are with so many brats?" Yelubao Xinnu gave Fan Chunren and the others a jealous look. , with a knife in his eyes.At this moment, the guard beside him whispered something, and Yelubao Xinnu responded impatiently, and said to Ye An with a little apology: "Beauty, I have to go, I will come to you when I finish the matter at hand." You, just wait for me."

Before Ye An could react, he left with his men.

Ye An was so angry that his head was buzzing. Hearing that the people behind him seemed to be still laughing, he turned around angrily.The students quickly put up their faces and made a serious look, and even seriously analyzed what the other Liao people were doing here.

"I don't think this son's demeanor is like ordinary people. Maybe there is something wrong between the two countries." Fan Chunren's face was serious. The Liao Kingdom was the number one enemy in the eyes of the Song Dynasty. Now the court is still fighting with Xixia in the northwest. Taking advantage of people's danger, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous.

"Didn't there be the 'Tanyuan Alliance'? They probably wouldn't attack..." During Zhenzong's period, Empress Dowager Xiao and Liao Shengzong led an army to the south. Song Zhenzong planned to abandon the city and escape, thanks to the persuasion of Prime Minister Kou Zhun.The Song army fought with their backs, and finally managed to keep the capital temporarily.After that, the Liao and Song dynasties were about brotherly countries, with the Baigou River as the border, and the Song Dynasty gave Liao Sui coins every year. Now the two countries have lived in peace for more than [-] years, and even do business frequently.

"How can the barbarians abide by the covenant!" Zhao Zongshu was furious: "A while ago, when the Xixia army was attacked, the Liao army gathered at the border. What do you think they want to do! They are just trying to fish in troubled waters!"

The teenagers sighed heavily, and the relaxed atmosphere immediately disappeared.Guo Zhonghe pushed away Xiao Jingjing who was supporting him, and walked out the door without saying a word.Xiao Jingjing wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Ye An. She was a classmate, so let him have some dignity.So he only shouted at his back: "Don't forget to compensate for the loss of the restaurant."

Guo Zhonghe paused, and waved his hand to signal that he understood.

……

After returning to the Imperial College, the students began to use their family's influence to inquire about information, and sure enough, they learned an astonishing fact——Song Liao planned to join forces to attack Xixia.

And Xiao Jingjing, the little prince of gossip, said mysteriously: "Do you know, this is actually proposed by us for offering wine!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked, they still have such a hand in offering wine?

"That's right! Lord Fan and Lord Han thought it was feasible after the wine sacrifice was proposed, so they sent envoys to the Liao Kingdom to persuade them, and finally succeeded!" Xiao Jingjing said with a face full of pride, there were members of the Xiao family who sent the Liao envoys, but It was not revealed before due to confidentiality.

According to the original trajectory, Wang Anshi should become a county magistrate and observe the people's sentiments everywhere.Now that he has become the Imperial College Jijiu, although he has to manage the students, it is a lot easier in the end.So when he had nothing to do, he began to study the surrounding wars, and finally wrote a very detailed memorial to Da Tianting.

Last year, the Liao Kingdom took advantage of the Great Song Dynasty to fight Xixia, asking for more old coins like the Song Dynasty.Renzong and others couldn't swallow this breath, and kept ignoring it. The two countries pushed and pulled each other for a long time.Wang Anshi said in the memorial that it is better to simply agree to the Liao Kingdom, but he asked the Liao Kingdom to restrain his younger brother Xixia, so that he would not fight the Song Dynasty during the autumn harvest, and he could fight later if he wanted to.

Sure enough, when the Liao Kingdom heard this small request, it didn't take it seriously and agreed.The Xixia party members were originally supported by the Liao state and allowed it to develop. The purpose was to contain the Song Dynasty, so they informed the younger brother arrogantly.

At this time, the fierce battle between Song and Xia was in full swing, and both sides were furious, so they would not listen to Liao's words.What's more, since Li Yuanhao, the king of Xixia, became emperor, many Dangxiang tribes at the junction of the two countries rebelled against Liao and returned to Xia. He himself was extremely at odds with Princess Xingping, who was married to Liao, and Princess Xingping finally died of depression.So just tear your skin off and don't listen to Big Brother.

The emperor of the Liao Kingdom was extremely angry, coupled with Song's provocative provocation secretly.After comparing the military strength of Song and Xia, the Liao Kingdom agreed to the request of the Song Dynasty to jointly attack Xixia.

This time, the second prince of the Liao Kingdom, Yelv Baoxinnu, was sent here. He was said to be very favored. Now is the critical moment of the covenant. It seems that Guo Zhonghe can only suffer from being dumb.

The youngsters could not intervene in the affairs between countries. They thought that this alliance had nothing to do with them, but after a few days, they received an imperial decree that the imperial court ordered a few outstanding students from the Guozijian to be tour guides for the prince of Liao.Wang Anshi frowned after receiving the imperial decree, but he still sighed after thinking about what he planned.He ordered Fan Chunren and Xiao Jingjing, after some thought, he added Ye An, and let them pass after a few instructions.

The three of them were extremely reluctant, but they had to listen to the words of offering wine.Especially Ye An, recalling the previous scene, was still burning with anger.

"One of you is the vice prime minister's son, and the other's father and brother are senior officials of the Privy Council. You have similar identities, so you just go there, and I will join in the fun." Ye An puffed up his face, thinking that Wang Anshi's failure to make a big decision would damage his reputation!

Fan Chunren and Xiao Jingjing looked at each other, but didn't speak.From rouge gouache to sugar to cuju, An Geer is simply leading the fashion of the Song Dynasty, whoever you want.

When they arrived at the Liao Country Garden, the guards respectfully ushered them in.In the room, Yelv Baoxinnu was holding a book. When he saw the three people, especially Ye An, he looked at them with complicated expressions, and said rather unwillingly, "You are really a man..." Obviously this person had already investigated.

After that, he walked around him a few more times, and suddenly said in a heartbroken voice, "How can you be a man!?" His first love was over before it even started.

...Hehe, Ye An has no expression on his face, he really can't be bothered to talk to this idiot.

At this time, Fan Chunren took the initiative to change the topic: "The second prince has places he wants to go, or food he wants to taste. As long as we are in Bianliang City, we can basically take them with us."

Yelu Baoxinnu frowned: "I don't even like what you Song people eat. I think the taste is too bland. By the way, there is a Cuju competition today? Take me to have a look."

Ye An made some calculations, shook his head and said, "Not in these two days, the next one will be in three days."

"Che..." Yelv Baoxinnu sat on the armchair idly, it was still cold in March, and there was no stove in the room, but he was only wearing a thin undershirt, showing most of his strong chest.Several people were speechless for a while, lamenting that Liao people are really thick-skinned, and it is not good to wear so little in this weather.

Xiao Jingjing said weakly, "Does the Liao Kingdom play cuju now?"

"It's very popular, everyone loves to play, and there are games now, but it's much better than your Da Song." Yelv Baoxinnu said casually, the contempt in his tone made people extremely uncomfortable.

"How do you know that you are better than Da Song?" Ye An frowned.

After looking at him for a while, Yelv Baoxinnu still seemed unable to accept his gender, turned his head and said: "I saw your fists and embroidered legs in the restaurant that day, and the fat man was still not convinced after telling the truth, so he taught me a lesson. Just be a little more honest. I usually give up those useless airs when I play football, and I must be better than Da Song."

The three teenagers were upset, but they didn't say anything considering the covenant.Who knew that Yelv Baoxinnu would chatter endlessly, from Cuju to the martial arts army, demoting Da Song to nothing.

At this time, if you endure it again, you will be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!Ye An said coldly: "What you saw that day was just the performances of the artists in Wazili, not my true level. Besides, cuju football is all about teamwork, and individual bravery doesn't mean anything at all."

When he was interrupted in the middle of the conversation, Yelu Baoxinnu frowned a little unhappily, and deliberately provoked: "Oh? You mean that your level in the Song Dynasty is actually higher than that of our Liao Kingdom?"

"I didn't say that." Ye An said neither humble nor overbearing: "It's just that as the first person who proposed the new style of Cuju, I have always believed in one sentence, that is 'football is round'. Anything can happen, so any win or loss is not surprising. .”

Yelu Baoxinnu sneered, "Okay, it's interesting. In this case, why don't we compete. If we win, we will sign the covenant without saying a word, but if we lose, there are some conditions in it. Let's discuss again, how about it?" He squinted his eyes, staring at them like a wolf.

……are you crazy? !Ye An sighed, and instead of explaining that he was just a student of the Imperial Academy, strictly speaking, he was still a commoner, it would be outrageous for you to bet with an ordinary ass on the major events between Song and Liao.

Seeing that Ye An didn't take the bait, Yelv Baoxinnu plucked his ears in disappointment, and ordered his subordinates to send the three of them out.

Xiao Jingjing outside the door let out a long breath, and said bitterly: "Do you think this Liao man combed his hair and messed up his brain?"

Ye An and Fan Chunren were at a loss as to what he was talking about.

"Because there is no hair on his head, he was exposed to the cold in winter, and finally became a fool. I heard that their Liao Kingdom only allowed the emperor and high-ranking officials to wear headscarves and hats. It must be like this, otherwise, how could the second prince have hysteria! Crazy!" Xiao Jingjing said with a poisonous tongue, making the two people around her burst into laughter.

At first everyone thought that this matter would be over, but the next day, Yelu Baoxinnu proposed to make a covenant with Cuju in the main hall, and even named Guozijian.All the officials were in an uproar, saying that this matter must never happen, but Yelv Baoxinnu seemed determined.

There is no way, Da Song has something to ask for after all, so he can only agree to this condition aggrieved.

When the news reached the Guozijian, everyone was dumbfounded.Ye An rubbed his forehead, he was really afraid of something.
