The willows are green in March, and the people are busy planting spring.

Fu Rong held Brother Wang and sat in front of the car window, accompanied him to see the busy figures of the tenants on the side of the dirt road, pointed to the fields far and near, saying, "Brother Wang and you see this? These are all our lands, all given to your father by your emperor's grandfather."

It was the first time that Brother Wang came to the countryside. Everything was fresh. A girl of three or four years old was sitting on the ground guarding the peanut seeds. He stared at her curiously. When the carriage walked so far, he stuck his head out to look at her. Maybe he thought that the girl with a red headband on her head in a thick cloth clothes was too different from the sister she usually saw.

Fu Rong touched his son's little head and pointed to the plowing ox in the field to show him. The big yellow cow just raised his head and mooed. Brother Wang's eyes lit up and pointed at the yellow cow and learned to say, "Cow!"

Fu Rong smiled and kissed him: "Brother Wang is a ox. I finally saw the ox today. Is it beautiful?"

Brother Wang nodded repeatedly.

Xu Jia followed by a horse, suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Princess, we are going to cross the river."

In the carriage, Lan Xiang knew that the princess must have seen it, so she excitedly picked up the curtain of the car.

Just like there is a moat outside the capital, there is also a river outside the imperial village of Xu Jin, which divides the villa and the outside of the sealed fields into two parts, with mountains and water inside, pavilions and towers everywhere, like another small palace.

Fu Rong is the first time he has come here, and he is as curious as Brother Wang.

"Fish?" The carriage boarded the sturdy wooden bridge. The brother looked over at the river water under the bridge and turned around to ask his mother.

Fu Rong smiled: "Well, there are fish inside. When my father comes, let him bring his brother over to fish."

Although Xu Jin said that he only needed to be in charge of the government in the cabinet, he was still very busy in charge of things. In the past, he was in the Ministry of Personnel and occasionally he could take leave and be lazy for two days. Now Emperor Jiahe is not in the capital, so Xu Jin has to rest on the day of rest. So when March is about to come, Xu Jin asked Fu Rong and his wife to come over the day before his rest. He came again in the evening so that the family could stay in the village for one night and return leisurely the next afternoon, so that they would not waste most of their time on the way back and forth that day.

The carriage stopped steadily in front of the villa gate.

The internal and external officials here have long been kneeling at the door to wait.

Fu Rong put on the hat and Lanxiang helped her get out of the car. After standing firmly, she took her good son to her arms, exchanged a few simple greetings with everyone, and went directly to the inner courtyard.

Madam Tian, ​​who was taking care of the inner courtyard, followed Fu Rong diligently, with a smile on her face: "Princess, this is Chunhui Hall. After Yuezhong received the order from the prince, the old slave ordered someone to carefully clean the inside and outside of Chunhui Hall. The princess saw if it was okay? If there was anything wrong, the princess sent several girls around her to make a message, and the old slave immediately redesigned it."

Begonia cherries are planted outside Chunhui Hall. Looking around, the flowers are like clouds and clouds, and the spring is full of spring. Fu Rong looked at it and said casually: "Since you call Chunhui Hall, can there be a yard for the other three seasons?"

Madam Tian immediately said, "Yes, Fengheyuan, Luoxia Peak, and Meixue Pavilion. No matter when the princess comes, there are beautiful scenery to enjoy."

Fu Rong nodded, teased the son in the car, and asked again: "All the names of the princes? The prince used to come here often?"

Madam Tian smiled and said, "No, the prince is busy with errands. After the village was built, the prince only came once. The yards inside were first proposed by the Ministry of Works. The prince thought it was good, so he stayed." The prince came a few, so they had no chance to perform. Now they finally hoped that the prince and the princess would come. Of course they should perform well.

But Fu Rong didn't need her to show her. After asking a few questions about the situation here, she let her go. She focused on coaxing her son, and Mei Xianglanxiang led the little maids and quickly took over Chunhuitang.

It was still early before lunch. Brother Wang was probably thinking about the excitement he had seen along the way and insisted on going out to play. No matter how Fu Rong advised him, he didn't listen. The little guy was stubborn and was very troublesome. Anyway, Fu Rong was idle and couldn't bear to refuse his son, so he personally pushed the cart to take him out of Chunhuitang.

Brother Wang was still unwilling to do so, pointing outside and muttering, "Awesome!!"

Lan Xiang smiled and said, "Princess, the prince wants to see people farm."

Brother Wang nodded excitedly.

this……

Fu Rong thought for a while and ordered Xu Jia, "Go and ask Madam Tian and see if there is any idle space in the village. If so, pick a farmer to farm and find another cow."

Xu Jia went to make arrangements immediately.

Fu Rong dipped the little nose of Brother Wang: "Okay, my mother has asked someone to go and go to Changniu. Brother Wang is waiting for it, and you are not allowed to make trouble again."

Brother Wang understood and stopped making trouble, and then wanted to walk by himself.

The weather was warm, and the little guy was wearing less clothes and his movements became much more flexible. Fu Rong carried his son out and practiced his steps with him.

The mother and son played for about two quarters of an hour, and Xu Jia came back to report his life.

It just so happened that there was a vegetable garden in the village that needed to be planted, and it was all women who were busy with their work. After hearing this, Fu Rong took Brother Wang to the place to see.

Fu Rong was afraid of the sun, so he still wore a hat on his head. Brother Wang pushed the walker and walked squintly, happily shouting "ox" in his mouth.

When she arrived at the vegetable garden, Madam Tian was already waiting there and led a few women in coarse cloth dresses to salute Fu Rong. Fu Rong came to see them farming, and smiled and gave up the gift. She went to the coffee table under the willow tree beside the ground and sat down before the coffee table that had been prepared long ago under the willow tree, and watched Lanxiang happily protect her brother and play on the ground.

After looking at his son for a while, Fu Rong's eyes slowly fell on a young woman.

The man looked twenty-five or six years old, with a blue cloth towel wrapped around his head and a graceful back. When he turned around, his face turned red, but he could also tell that his beauty was very beautiful. Fu Rong was not interested in her, but the two children in front of her. The girl in front of her looked only seven or eight years old, and the little boy who was standing on the soil after the woman pulled the rollers looked like she was about the same age as Brother Zhang.

The vegetable garden is very large and divided into several pieces of land, so it is the family of three who are pitiful to see.

When Brother Wang was young and was most curious about children, he stared at the scalpers on the plowing land for a while and soon noticed the little brother there. He turned to look at his mother, but when he saw that his mother had no objection, he pushed the walker to find the little brother.

The noble prince came to his home, and Li quickly led his two children to kneel down, "Greetings to the prince."

Brother Wang walked to the little boy and stared at him.

Five-year-old Ling Shou couldn't help but secretly look at him.

Brother Wang was wearing a moon-white robe, with gold edges embroidered on the collar and cuffs, and a small round hat on his head. Ling Shou stared at the beads on the tip of the hat, feeling that the beads were brighter than the moon on the fifteenth night. He looked at the prince's white and clean little face, which was also tenderer than the tofu that was rare at home. Looking at his patched clothes, Ling Shou suddenly felt that the prince was the bright moon in the sky, and he was a lump of soil in the field.

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it anymore. Although he was young, he had known the rules long ago.

Brother Wang stopped looking at him and looked at the row of small footprints behind Ling Shou. He screamed twice, "Go!"

Li looked at Lan Xiang in confusion.

Lan Xiang smiled and said, "You guys keep busy, don't worry about this."

Li looked at Brother Wang, picked up the pottery jar containing the vegetable seeds, and signaled his daughter Ling Mei to walk forward.

Ling Shou also continued to work.

Brother Wang jumped around happily. Lan Xiang understood, and held him with one hand and helped him put the walker on the ridge of the field. So Brother Wang pushed the cart behind Ling Shou and giggled.

Fu Rong shook his head and called Madam Tian: "Who is that woman?"

She sat down, and Madam Tian explained, "It was a nearby tenant. The man in the family fell ill last year. The old slave saw that she was pitiful with her son and daughter, so he found her an errand in the garden." While speaking, he quietly observed Fu Rong's face. Seeing that the princess was quite interested, Madam Tian continued, "The little girl in front is Ling Mei, she is eight years old this year, and the one behind is her younger brother Ling Shou, who is five years old this year."

"I went to the field to work at the age of five." Fu Rong sighed gently.

Madam Tian smiled and said, "The children of poor families have long been in charge, and they are all like this."

Fu Rong nodded.

The sun gradually rose, and Fu Rong wanted to leave. Brother Wang hadn't had enough fun yet, so he grabbed Ling Shou and refused to let go.

It is rare for my son to meet a playmate whom he likes so much. Fu Rong looked at Ling Shou's eyes and saw that although the little boy was thin, his facial features were very upright, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes were pleasing to him, he said to Li: "The prince likes him. Now I will take Ling Shou back to Chunhuitang and send someone back to your house in the afternoon?"

Li was flattered and quickly knelt down and said, "You are polite. The prince likes A Shou, which is a blessing for the family of the people. The private woman is afraid that A Shou will be ignorant and will collide with the prince..."

Fu Rong smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. The prince has a maid and wet nurse watching, so there won't be any trouble." He smiled and asked the five-year-old boy, "Do you want to play with the prince?"

Ling Shou looked at Brother Wang, then looked at his mother who nodded to him repeatedly. He wanted to agree but hesitated a little: "I think, but if I play with the prince, no one will help my mother work."

Madam Tian held back her laughter and scolded: "You are quite filial, don't worry, you don't have to work today, so you can accompany the prince with peace of mind."

Ling Shou's little face suddenly collapsed, "My mother said, if you don't work, you will have no wages..."

Sure enough, he was sensible and knew that he had earned money to support his family. Fu Rong liked the child more and more, signaling Lanxiang to pay the money, and then handed a small ingot of five taels to Ling Shou: "This is the salary you played with the prince. Do you see enough?"

Ling Shou had never seen Yinzi before, blinked and said, "I don't know, my mother said there were ten copper coins after planting this land..."

Fu Rong told him with a smile: "This is called silver. This piece of silver can be exchanged for five thousand copper coins."

Ling Shou opened his mouth wide, and ten fingers stained with soil moved, and soon stopped moving, with a confused look on his face.

Fu Rong shook his head and laughed, asking him to hand the money to his mother. She picked up Brother Wang and coaxed him while walking to the ground: "Brother Wang, don't be anxious, Ling Shou will catch up with us in a while. Can we invite him to eat fish at noon?"
