Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 386 Village
"I did go there twice, but most of the time it was replaced by courtiers."

After all, it was the rule of the first emperor. In the eyes of the current emperor, that is, his father, it would seem too demeaning for the prince to eat and sleep with the common people and roll up his sleeves to do the work.

"That would be convenient. You enter the palace and ask the emperor for orders, and I will pack up my clothes and prepare to leave as soon as possible."

"it is good."

The locust disaster did not allow a moment's delay, Li Junhao hurried into the palace and came back at noon.Fu Xuanrong had already loaded the luggage into the carriage, and the two of them headed out of the city without stopping.

The town closest to the capital city is called Shengze Town, which is close to a lake with criss-crossed water branches and fishing boats like weaving.

As the carriage passed by on the bumpy path, Fu Xuanrong lifted the curtain, and everywhere his eyes went was a piece of golden rice.

In the distance, the twilight is reflected in the twilight, there is little smoke above the mud-tiled huts, and occasionally there are a few barking dogs, and the whole town is full of human fireworks.

"After staying in the capital city for a long time, seeing this scene again, it really feels like a world away."

"If you like, you can come and stay here often in the future."

"Forget it." Fu Xuanrong put down the curtain of the car, and sat back with a smile, "After all, our status is not ordinary, and the common people are not comfortable living here."

The ancient concept of class is too serious, officials are officials, people are people, and people like them are the existences that ordinary people look up to.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, where are we staying today? An inn?"

"Don't stay at the inn, go to the village chief's house."

Fu Xuanrong scratched her head, "What? Isn't this a town? Where did the village chief come from?"

"It is indeed a town, but the rice grows in a remote open mud field, not close to the downtown area."

"So what we're really going to is the small village under Shengze Town?"

"you can say it this way."

"I see." She had been to the farmhouse several times in her previous life, and the experience was not bad, so this time it was a business trip.

After bypassing the muddy field, the carriage in front of him could no longer drive. Li Junhao carried Fu Xuanrong down and ordered the driver to go back to Prince Li's mansion first.

"The village chief's house is not far from here, you and I can get there in a short walk."

Fu Xuanrong looked around, rice and corn were planted everywhere, and the houses were a little unclear, "Okay, you lead the way, I'll just follow."

"En." Li Junhao responded, and reminded by the way, "Pay attention to your steps."

Although the weather has turned cold, it is easy to encounter snakes in the countryside, and it will be troublesome if bitten.

"rest assured."

The two walked one after the other for a long time, and finally saw a small courtyard, where an elderly couple was sitting, and there was a chubby child at their feet.

"Old lady, there are guests!" The village head has been used to receiving people sent by the imperial court for several years, so when he saw Fu Xuanrong and Li Junhao, he showed very familiarity.

"Huh? There is also a girl who came together this year. This child is so handsome." The old woman said in surprise.

Fu Xuanrong smiled at her, "Mother-in-law, don't look at me as a woman, I'm no slower than a man in doing things."

In the past, those sent by the imperial court were all put on airs and didn't like to talk to others. I didn't expect this year to be so easy to talk to.

The woman walked up to Fu Xuanrong happily, and led her into the courtyard, "Girl, sit down quickly, I'll make tea."

"Don't be so troublesome, we can just drink plain water, mother-in-law, don't worry about it."

The village chief had met Li Junhao before, and bowed respectfully, "My lord, why did you come here in person this year?"

"It's fine in the mansion, so I might as well come and see you, this is my wife, you two can call her Xuanrong."

The woman's eyes were narrowed with a smile, "My lord is really lucky, I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen such a handsome female doll."

Fu Xuanrong's face was full of joy after being praised, and she winked at Li Junhao proudly.

Did you see, this girl is a favorite wherever she goes!
The corners of Li Junhao's lips twitched slightly, and it was rare that he didn't hit her, "It's getting late, village head, grandma, I'll help you clean up the beds, Xuan Rong, play with this child in the yard for a while."

"it is good."

Fu Xuanrong grabbed a handful of candy from the package she brought, and handed it to the chubby boy, "What's your name?"

The little chubby dun'er nervously wiped the dust off his palms, "My name is Chunsheng."

"Chunsheng? Are you born in Chunri?"

"Ah."

Fu Xuanrong rubbed Xiao Pangdun's hair, "Here, I'll give you all the candy, take it."

"Thank you sister!" He took the candy and stuffed it into his arms like a baby.

It's rare to see such a well-behaved child, Fu Xuanrong squeezed his face with joy, "Chunsheng, how old are you?"

"Six years old!"

"What about your parents?"

Chunsheng's eyes were beautiful, his dark pupils were like deer's, and he could see the bottom at a glance, "Dad fell off when he went out to work for others, and died not long after. Mother got sick and disappeared."

Fu Xuanrong frowned slightly, and hugged him apologetically, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"It doesn't matter. Grandpa said that my father and mother are living well in another place. They have enough food and clothing, and they don't have to do farm work. I should be happy for them."

The child's words are always innocent, but when they fall into Fu Xuanrong's ears, they make her heart tingle.

This child is obviously only six years old, but he has endured so much suffering. Maybe it is a child from a poor family who has already taken charge of his family. He seems to be much more sensible than the pampered young masters in the capital city.

"Xiao Chunsheng, you have to study hard. When you grow up and serve your country, my sister guesses that you will make a big difference."

Children always believe what they hear. Chunsheng wiped his nose and nodded firmly, "I will definitely study hard, and I will become a general in the future, fight off bad guys, and protect my grandparents."

Fu Xuanrong smiled gratifiedly, she just took it as a child's talk and didn't take it to heart.

But she would never have expected that Xiao Chunsheng, who had a runny nose in front of her, would actually become a general guarding one side in the future, commanding the three armies, invincible.

Of course, these are all things to say later, the village chief and his wife had already packed the bed, Fu Xuanrong stretched her waist, and went to the guest room to rest.

The conditions in the village are definitely not as good as those in the town. This bed is made of mud and covered with a thick cotton quilt.

Although it was a bit simple, the sheets and quilt covers were all washed clean, and the aroma of saponins could still be smelled after a strong sniff. Fu Xuanrong lay down on it contentedly, and slapped two rolls like a child.

Li Junhao's eyes were full of doting, "I thought you wouldn't be used to it."
