Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Baili nodded, and ran to buy two bowls of cold water [Cold water in the Song Dynasty was mainly sold in summer, which is similar to today's fruit juice, including: bean water, pear juice, plum water, ginger, coconut water, sugarcane water Juice, papaya juice, lychee pulp, bayberry thirsty water, sweet bean soup, fragrant sugar thirsty water, etc.]

"Master, try this coconut water. I heard that it was shipped from Qiongzhou. It just arrived in Beijing this morning. I wonder if there is any delicious one from our mansion."

"Coconuts are all the same. Is there anything good to drink?" Although Defang said this, she was a little hot and thirsty after walking for a long time, so she took a sip. "Well, it's cool, and it's not bad."

"Master, if we go any further, we will reach the south gate of the inner city. Do we still have to go to the outer city?"

Defang thought for a while, "Baili, go to your house, I want to see Haobo."

"Master, go now?"

"Why? No way?"

"How dare the little ones, everything about the little ones is a gift from the prince, but I'm afraid that if the family is unprepared and the service is not good enough, then the little ones will be a serious crime."

"Well, the lonely king is just going to see Haobo. If there is anything to prepare, there will always be tea and snacks. That's fine. Besides, the lonely king hasn't seen Ke'er's family for so many years. You can be regarded as their son-in-law. It's the lonely king and the empress who are leading the marriage, how can we do it if we don't see each other, today is just right, there is no need to choose a time, let's go."

The two came to the house located on the west side of Imperial Street in the south of the city. On the door of the mansion was a plaque of "Hundred Houses" written by Defang. At this time, the door was open, and Defang looked at it, "The door is open, and there is no one there."

"They're used to it," Baili said, "they drive like this on weekdays, and no one walks with them anyway."

"Anyway, it's still a house, and it's always necessary to have someone standing at the door."

"Yes, the little one will tell them."

Defang and Baili walked towards the mansion and came to the main hall to have a look, "Where did everyone go? Where is the afternoon nap?"

"My lord, sit down first, and the younger ones will go find them."

Defang nodded and sat on the chair. Baili hurried to find someone. At this time, Defang frowned, touched his nose and looked around, then got up and went to the backyard, and entered the back hall. Covering his mouth and nose with his hand, he was stunned as soon as he came out of the back hall door. Several people were busy in the back yard at this time, and he heard Baili say, "Father and mother! Brother and sister! Xiao Fuqiuer, and the two of you , let go, let go!"

Several people looked up at Baili, and a young man ran up to Baili, "Uncle! You are back! Come and sit in the room!"

"Don't sit or sit, everyone stop, scrub and scrub quickly, and change your clothes!"

"Uncle, what are you doing changing clothes? Why didn't aunt come back together?"

"Your aunt is taking care of the empress, don't talk about this, hurry up, hurry up!"

"Baili!" an old man called out, "What's going on?"

"Father" Baili walked over on tiptoe, circling left and right, "Let the family quickly change their clothes and go to the main hall."

"What are you going to do in the main hall?"

"Father, yes."

"My lord!" At this time, the six-year-old Haobo saw Defang from the side and ran over. Defang was staring at the backyard in a daze. It was obviously a small garden, but now it has become a piece of farmland, and there is a small farm next to it. The spinning wheel, the bacon drying by the wall, and the hands and feet of the people in the field, when they heard Haobo’s shout, they all looked at Defang, but they had never seen Defang before, they only knew that Haobo would not admit his mistake, Haobo hugged Defang's leg, "My lord, Haobo misses my lord!"
