Chapter 241
In March, they finally arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum.There is a garrison here all year round, and there is a small temple where a few monks live, responsible for sweeping, offering sacrifices and chanting sutras.King Ping and his party appeared to have come to sweep the mausoleum according to an imperial edict, and the people who guarded the mausoleum knew about it in advance, and had already prepared the things to be used for sweeping the mausoleum.Even the princes and grandsons, when they came to sweep the mausoleum, they were not so lazy that they really wanted to sweep it.But the female relatives don't have to sweep, they can't take the turn.Zhuhua didn't think about male superiority and female inferiority or old feudal rituals at the moment, and she was willing to follow the trend of feudalism when it was easy.

They stayed nearby for half a month, and King Ping took them to live in the former Kangwang Mansion.The mansion still retains the style of the past, and most of the waiters are servants of King Kang's mansion who were not able to follow the palace back then.Zhuhua listened to King Ping talking about his childhood, even though he didn't have much to say, Zhuhua still listened with gusto.They also saw the phoenix trees planted together by the former empress and Shengxia in the garden, and felt helpless for the only one in the world.

The servants in the mansion didn't value the master Ping Wang at first, but there were rare guests in the mansion, and they could get some rewards, and they served them wholeheartedly, especially after knowing that King Ping and the crown prince had a very good relationship, they naturally didn't dare neglect.Some of the servants have descendants, and they want their children to show their faces in front of King Ping, and they want them to be transferred to the capital to have a good future, and some of them want to send their daughters there to enjoy the blessings.

The people here don't know Zhuhua's prestige, and they don't even know that King Ping doesn't have a concubine. Some of them went to check on Qinglan's tone and wanted to give it away, and some directly used tricks to make King Ping take advantage of it first. of.

One day, King Ping was walking on the road well, and when he saw a delicate girl falling while delivering tea, he wanted to fall on him, and avoided it without thinking.These days when he was alone outside the courtyard, there were quite a few people who played tricks on him, so scared that he didn't dare to take a step away from Zhuhua.Seeing that the woman was still screaming in pain, he couldn't help frowning, and asked someone to call the housekeeper to teach him a lesson for the servant who broke the master's utensils.

The things used in the palace are naturally good things, and the cups are all set, if one is dropped, the other ones can't be taken out to entertain guests.The housekeeper knew what this girl meant, and he was ashamed by this incident.He is better than other people in the mansion, knowing that King Ping doesn't seem to have the intention of taking concubines, he doesn't want to offend the celebrity in front of the future emperor, so he has someone severely punish this girl, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for others. wake up.

Zhuhua didn't know what happened, but Xixi came to her mysteriously and said, "Auntie, there is a girl who is being beaten outside."

"What is it for?" Zhuhua asked cooperatively.

"I heard that it was because she bumped into my little uncle and broke things." After Xixi finished speaking, she added, "That girl looks quite fresh."

After hearing this, Zhuhua raised her eyebrows, just at that moment King Ping entered the room, and the two looked over at the same time.

"Auntie, you are busy, I went outside to play." Xixi laughed and ran away.

King Ping probably guessed what she said, and just as he was about to explain Zhuhua, he patted the empty seat beside her and beckoned him to sit down.After he sat down puzzled, Zhuhua picked a red fruit from the fruit plate and brought it to his mouth, feeding him to eat.

"Keep it well." She said with a half-smile.

"We must not disappoint Concubine Ai." Prince Ping said with a straight face.

In the evening, Xixi felt bored seeing that the two of them didn't look like they were arguing at all.But if they really quarreled and didn't want to continue playing outside, she would also be very distressed. Compared with always staying in one place, it must be more fun to go out.

There was another reason why Zhuhua was not angry. In fact, it wasn't just the girls in this mansion who tried to think of King Ping along the way.Among them, King Ping was very eye-catching when he was riding a horse outside, his pale face was a few years younger than his actual age.But any thoughtful woman knows that if she wants to get close to the three young masters who have not yet opened their minds, it may be difficult to make a relationship. It is better to directly express their friendship to King Ping, who is obviously the master among this group of people. If you win, you don't have to worry about it in the days to come.

It's just that King Ping sat on his horse and never looked sideways, as if what he saw was not the people on the street but the flock of sheep.Occasionally, a woman squeezed over and wanted to throw herself in front of the horse, but she would also be pushed away by the guards mixed in with the crowd.Doesn't matter if she rushed over to blackmail or assassinate?They must not let her succeed.So so far, the only ones who are really close are the girls in the palace.

After such a thing happened, Zhuhua didn't want to stay for a long time. Anyway, the tomb was swept away, so they set off to take a detour to Lijia Village.Zhuhua hasn't been back for many years since Yinhua got married, and she didn't tell Aunt Li's house this time when she came here.

Cheng Dashan built a nice house in Lijia Village, and Aunt Li's family usually helps to look after it.As soon as Aunt Li heard that Zhuhua was coming, she quickly invited a few diligent women from the village to tidy up the house together.When Zhuhua arrived, the whole family went to the entrance of the village to greet her, and other people in the village who heard the news also came.Aunt Li knew that Zhuhua had become a princess, and when she saw her at the entrance of the village, she knelt down to Zhuhua with the others, and she was startled.

She thought that the villagers would not be so particular about it, but she didn't know that the villagers were most in awe of the imperial power. When she heard that Zhuhua was coming, the village head led the villagers to sweep the road of the village, and now there was no stone on it. invisible.

"Please hurry up, everyone." Zhuhua saw that everyone in the village was there, so she didn't put off her airs and joked with Aunt Li, and Yinhua's in-law's house was also there, so she had to carry some, maybe she would have to use it in the future Identity scares them.When she entered the Cheng family's old house, she was also a little embarrassed. In fact, she didn't plan to go back to live in the old house. They had already booked a hotel in the town, but since Aunt Li had cleaned up the house, they could only stay. .

After entering the house, Zhuhua saw that there was no outsider, so she took Aunt Li's hand and said, "Auntie, why are there so many people coming outside, I was taken aback."

Aunt Li was still feeling in her heart that Zhuhua had become a princess after all, and she was much more stable than before, but now she realized that this girl hadn't changed at all.

"You are a princess, and they are not allowed to come to see you when they hear about it. You don't even know that after you became a princess, even the old Huang's family in the village followed suit..."

Speaking of this, Aunt Li paused for a moment, wondering if these past events could be brought up in front of Zhuhua, who is now the princess.

"Grandpa Huang's house, does he still have puppies? Our family's little flower didn't leave any seeds." After speaking, Zhuhua turned around and said to the other people in the room: "I used to drink the big flower dog from Grandpa Huang's family when I was young." I grew up with milk, and I drank it for about a month."

As she spoke, she suddenly thought that something was wrong. Didn't this expose the things she remembered since she was a child?
Aunt Li didn't care, she just thought that Zhuhua heard about it from someone else, and knowing that she didn't mind, she said, "Yes, I drank it for a month. Their family now specializes in raising dogs. The concubine once raised a dog of the same breed, and it was quite expensive, but not many people actually came to buy it. Do you want it? If you want it, I'll help you get one?"

"Can I ask for nothing?"

"Why not? He doesn't dare not give you your face."

"That's the way, pick a female. There are no dogs in the house, and there is no place to keep the seeds." Zhuhua said regretfully. Now that the grass and Dian Dian are old at home, she is thinking about whether to raise them again. Two.

After hearing this, Aunt Li responded, and immediately wanted to go out to help her beg for it. Zhuhua quickly grabbed her and said, "Auntie, we are hungry, have you prepared any food?"

At that time, she sent a letter to Aunt Li's family mainly because she wanted to have a meal at her house, and Aunt Li thought of this, and hurriedly said to prepare, and then took Zhuhua to Li's house for dinner.On the way, Zhuhua also showed Aunt Li her three children and the three children of Jinhua's family. Seven gold lock pieces were taken out from the room, and one was given to each of them, and one was for Yuan Tai, even though she didn't know who Yuan Tai was.

"Thank you, auntie." The seven children said in unison.

"It's okay, what are you being polite about?" Aunt Li said cheerfully.

Zhuhua saw that the Li family's house seemed to be newly repaired, divided into three courtyards, and it was much bigger than the Li family she remembered when she was a child, and the furniture in the house was not bad, so she didn't worry about making Aunt Li's family spend money.When she came to Lijia Village this time, she brought a lot of gifts, even though she bought them in Fucheng, not from the capital.

After a hearty lunch at Li's house, the group went back to rest.After the lunch break, they went to the mountains for a walk. Zhuhua never went into the deep mountains when she was a child, except when she was hiding from bandits and going back to her hometown alone to worship her ancestors. Wolf.

She pointed to a mountain and said to the others: "It seems to be there. When I was a child, when I heard that bandits had entered the village, your grandmother would take us and flee to the deep mountains, and everyone else in the village would also flee together. I was born It’s on the mountain, I heard it’s scary, many people in the village were taken away by bandits, and some of them haven’t come back yet.”

"It's good on the mountain, you can kill rabbits to eat." Huanhuan said heartlessly.

"If you still beat rabbits, the bark will be eaten away. It is your ability to see the fur of rabbits."

"Then what do you eat?" Xixi asked again.

"I don't know what to eat. You see, I even drank dog milk. I guess I can't eat anything good." Zhuhua said, pretending that she didn't know much, "Anyway, I often couldn't eat enough when I was young. People in the village They are all about the same. The people down here can’t afford to eat a few meals throughout the year. But they are still quite content, and the people will not be forced to rebel unless there is an emergency. Also willing to endure."

"Why?" Tuantuan asked in bewilderment.

"I don't know what it is for, maybe it is for my family not to be implicated."

Zhuhua told them about the hardships and joys of childhood.No matter how difficult life is, there must be times when Zhuhua is happy. When Zhuhua talked about Jinhua who can fish and go hunting with Mrs. Sun, her voice was filled with admiration. Now she thinks this girl is really strong.By the way, she also mentioned how popular she was in the village when she was a child, and everyone would give her things.

"It's because I'm afraid I'll make you unhappy, so my mother will beat you." Huanhuan said rudely at the side.

"What do you think your mother is, and you're not a bully. What do you think the villagers are, they also have tempers." Zhuhua retorted, but she knew the truth was what Huanhuan said, and she even misunderstood for a while I thought it was because I was good-looking.

After staying in Lijia Village for one day, they went to Sunjiacun's uncle's house for dinner the next day.Uncle Sun's house is more magnificent than Aunt Li's, which shows that Sun Daniu has made a lot of money running a business.Sun Daniu wasn't there that day, but his younger siblings and his daughter-in-law and son were.The whole family had a lively meal, but Zhuhua and Uncle Sun's family didn't spend much time together after all, so they didn't relax at Aunt Li's house.

As soon as the news of Zhuhua's return spread, many people came to Lijia Village to watch the excitement. The nearby officials had already come to visit King Ping, and some even invited King Ping to live in a cleaner house in the city, but King Ping naturally refused. .

It was the busy season of farming, so Zhuhua decided to stay for a few more days after seeing it, and let the children go to the fields to work. Even if the girls didn't have to go to the fields, they still had to do the work of serving tea and water.The land originally belonged to the Cheng family, and Aunt Li's family helped to look after it. Every year, they hired day laborers to plant it, and they were not afraid of damaging a few acres. Even when Aunt Li heard that such a precious child would go to the land, she kept saying it was not good.

"You have to let them go to the ground, let them truly experience the hard-won food and porridge."

Aunt Li heard that she brought up a great truth, so she didn't stop her.

Girls are fine as long as they cook at home. Boys are a little unhappy when they hear that they are going to the field. Lele, who has always loved cleanliness, dare not step on the dirty mud field. He has seen someone Sprinkle manure into the field, if he stepped in on the ground, wouldn't he be stepping on the manure?
"What hypocrisy?"

Huanhuan pushed him from behind, causing him to fall directly into the field, and he was about to cry when he stood up.But anyway, it was like this, he simply broke the jar and walked calmly in the field.Although Jia's family is still young, they can also help deliver the bundled seedlings. Of course, Zhuhua gave him preferential treatment and let him only work in the field for half a day.

The muddy water in the paddy field was still a bit cold. They were not used to it when they first came to the field. Fortunately, they are not stupid. Uncle Li personally guided them to plant rice seedlings. It's just that the speed of transplanting rice seedlings is a bit slow.Huanhuan had inserted a few lines indiscriminately at first, but in the end Uncle Li said no, and asked him to go back and replant the trees one by one.He still listened to his elders, and after yelling a few times, he obediently went back to work.
