The king of the country was in trouble.

Auntie Zhou understood what he meant. If the Wu family pushed them too hard in the future, they would inevitably lead troops to rebel.

She used to think that rebellion was a great rebellion, but now she understood that if she didn't rebel, her children would die.

After thinking for a while, she replied, "Okay, let Zhao'er go with you to the border. When will we leave?"

Zhou's uncle replied, "Tonight."

Auntie Zhou listened and looked at Zhou Zhao with reluctance.

Zhou Zhao himself was very excited, "Great, uncle, I've wanted to go for a long time."

Zhou's uncle looked up at his high-spirited nephew, his face full of satisfaction, "There are wars all year round outside the pass, it's not as stable as your life in Changliu Village."

Zhou Zhao waved his hand and smiled, "Uncle, I know, don't worry, I can endure hardships."

Zhou's uncle patted his shoulder, "Okay, then you go pack your things now, I'll take you to the Mo Mansion first."

Zhou Zhao smiled and nodded heavily, "Okay, uncle."

The third prince saw that they had agreed, and he didn't continue to persuade him. He got up and went to the house to help Zhou Zhao pack things.

The uncle of Zhou family then looked at Zhou Ruiyuan, "Ruiyuan, don't worry about the provincial examination. I heard from the prefect Zheng that the emperor will be back in two days. You should wait patiently for a few days."

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded lightly with a gloomy face, "Yes."

The uncle of Zhou family saw that the arrangements were made, and he did not delay any longer. After Zhou Zhao's things were packed, he took Zhou Zhao away from the Zhou family.

When Zhou Zhao left, he was reluctant to leave. He explained everything about the fields to Zhou Ruiyuan before leaving.

The whole family came to the door to see him off.

None of them thought that this young man was still an ignorant boy when he left, and when he came back, he was actually a commander who could lead tens of thousands of troops.

Mrs. Zhou waved her hands and secretly wiped her tears.

Just now at home, she was talking about picking the vegetables in the field in a few days, but now she had to take her luggage to a distant place. After this separation, she didn't know when she would see him again.

Du Wanchun came to Aunt Zhou, put her arm around her and said slowly: "Mother, it won't be long before my third brother comes back."

Aunt Zhou nodded, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face.

The Third Prince stood beside her, his eyes full of pity, "Zhou'er, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to protect Zhao'er, no one can bully him outside the pass."

Aunt Zhou felt better after hearing this, looked up and saw the carriage disappear, turned around and walked into the house, "Well, let's go back."

"Okay, mother." Du Wanchun quickened his pace and followed her.

Zhou Ruiyuan stood there and looked around the village entrance, frowning, with a little worry on his face.

After returning home, the Third Prince specially cooked Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup.

"Zhou'er, come and eat some."

Mrs. Zhou was not a hypocritical person. She was absent-minded for a while, then immediately took the bowl he brought and said, "Prince, you don't have to be so polite."

The third prince then brought another bowl to Du Wanchun, "Now that Zhao'er is not at home, I have to take good care of you."

There must be someone to look after so many fields at home. The third prince originally wanted to spend money to invite a few people, but he was afraid that too many people would easily expose the identity of the Zhou family, so he could only continue to do it himself.

Mrs. Zhou felt warm in her heart and was more grateful to the third prince.

After the sky gradually darkened, the third prince hurried to feed the chickens and ducks in the backyard.

The next day, before dawn, the third prince took a hoe and went to the field early.

Prince Jin Gui, who was originally free and easy in the capital, really became a strong farmer in just a few months.

His skin was slightly tanned, and his posture holding the hoe was even more impressive.

Aunt Zhou hadn't slept all night. When she heard the noise, she got up and went to the door. She looked at the back in the dim light and gradually lost herself in thought.

Although the Third Prince had never told her clearly these days, she gradually understood his intentions.

However, she didn't want to involve him anymore.

It was not a solution for him to keep following her like this.

Aunt Zhou strode to his side, snatched the backpack from his back, and said, "I'll go with you."

The Third Prince was startled, "Why did you get up?"

Aunt Zhou carried the backpack and walked over him, "You can get up, why can't I."

The Third Prince chased after him, "Zhou'er, it's still early now, go and rest."

Aunt Zhou quickened her pace and continued to walk forward, "It's getting late, the weather is hot now, and you can't finish the work in the field in the morning.

, I can't work at noon."

The third prince stepped forward to stop her, "The work in the field is not something you can do."

Auntie Zhou looked up at him, "If it's not me, then it's you who can do it? Prince, before you came, I was feeding Ruiyuan and the others in this way. In this small village, it's not shameful to grow crops and vegetables, and it's better than starving!"

The third prince was slightly startled when he heard her words.

Auntie Zhou continued to walk forward, saying as she walked: "When we first came to Changliu Village, we didn't even have a decent piece of land. At that time, we dreamed of a piece of land like this one full of rice and vegetables, so that we wouldn't have to think about how to fill our stomachs every day."

"This piece of land is not a burden to us, but a blessing. You don't have to think that we are suffering when we work in the field. "

She said slowly, took out the small sickle in her hand and cut the weeds on the road.

The Third Prince saw Aunt Zhou's back, wavered for a long time, and finally chose to follow her silently.

As the sun gradually rose, Du Wanchun woke up from her sleep.

Now she and Zhou Ruiyuan were the only ones left at home. She got up and went to the front room and found that buns, porridge and eggs were already on the table.

She took a bun and took a bite, then walked towards the Xiangfang next door.
