Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying took the third prince and the fourth prince out of the capital and went to the Zhao family's mansion in Zhao Yuan in Haidian to spend a rest day, although it was very low-key, and the emperor did not make a noise, but because the palace did not deliberately keep it secret, there were many people staring at Zhang Shou, who had been in the eyes of everyone since entering Beijing, so the news spread quickly.

In the evening of the same day, Zhang Shou and his party did not meet anyone, but early the next morning, when Zhang Shou dragged up the two princes who were rarely going to snooze for a while, and went to knock on the door to wake up Zhu Ying, who slept soundly, and urged them to finish breakfast and go out, Zhao Yuan's subordinates were busy tidying up the house and cleaning the garden, but then the visitors came to the door.

"Looking for Shou Gongzi and Miss?" After the porter asked the visitor what he was doing, he immediately said with a smile, "Shou Gongzi and the eldest lady went out early in the morning, saying that they were going to herd cattle, probably in a nearby field." ”

Although the porter was very clever not to mention the third prince and the fourth prince, Ji Jiu and the others who came were all the most well-behaved, so they naturally wouldn't ask about the whereabouts of the two Tianhuang nobles. However, after the horse left, not to mention Ji Jiu's brows, the other sons and buddies were also surprised.

"Herding cattle? Dr. Zhang actually took the eldest lady and the third prince and the fourth prince to herd cattle? How to put it? Just like in the New Year's painting, the shepherd boy sits on the back of a cow and plays the flute? ”

Everyone imagined that scene for a moment, and then Ji Jiu felt that the corners of his mouth were twitching. That picture is so beautiful that people dare not look at it. Zhang Shou is like an ink landscape, Zhu Ying is like a rich stroke, plus those two princes seem to be the golden boys who jumped off in the New Year's paintings, and they are completely unworthy of this buffalo ploughing the land!

No matter how puzzled they were, they still had to find it, after all, just after class ended yesterday, the questions of the branch exam would be given by Xu Heizi from the rope hall, and the news spread far and wide. At that moment, countless students in the Banshan Hall were crying wolves, regardless of whether they had ever been beaten by the small board in the rope hall, but Xu Heizi's reputation was too great.

Therefore, Ji Jiu was publicly pushed out and brought a few companions to persuade Zhang Shou to "take back his life". However, the current scene is completely different from what they imagined Zhang Shou to open a small stove for the third and fourth princes - do you dare to say that herding cattle is a small stove?

Fortunately, several people were riding horses, and after trotting all the way around the neighborhood, they saw Zhu Ying, who was too eye-catching. In the countryside where most people are disgraced, the eldest lady riding a tall white horse and wearing a bright red dress is really conspicuous and abnormal, and people can't ignore it at all. Of course, what is more striking at this time is not her person, but her actions.

Because Zhu Ying was lying on the back of the horse, she looked like she would fall off at any time.

Hardly thinking about it, Ji Jiuyi took the lead, and the rest of the people rode their horses to follow, just thinking about hurrying to the rescue, but when they were already very close to Zhu Ying, they heard her irrepressible laughter, and then looked at it, where Zhu Ying was about to fall, but because the eldest lady laughed too much, as if she couldn't sit still and was about to fall off the horse.

"Ah Shou, what are you doing wearing a hat, who knows if it's you if you don't show your face! Ah Liu, looking at Dian San Lang and Shiro, these two boys are about to fall off with fear! I don't know who made a noise about bull riding in the first place! ”

Everyone followed Zhu Ying's line of sight, and saw two cows not far away walking leisurely and slowly, and there was only one person sitting on the cow in front of them. As for the cow in the back, the two boys sat on top of it, one after the other, and even from a distance, they could see the nervousness and fear.

Isn't it the third prince and the fourth prince? The one in the back hugged the waist in front of him, and he didn't even dare to open his eyes, and the one in front was not much better, and the whole person seemed to be so nervous that he stiffened?

As for the two reins that led the two buffaloes, they were all in the hands of a young man. But even with two cows, he still walked unhurriedly, and occasionally pulled a handful of grass to feed the cows, and his movements were very familiar.

Is bull riding comfortable? Zhang Shou, who was curious about having an experience in the countryside for a while, could give the answer clearly - not comfortable at all, no saddle, no reins, always feeling unleaning on all sides, extremely unsafe! If it weren't for Ah Liu, I think he would have lost half his life when he tried it for the first time.

Today, if it weren't for the fact that the third prince and the fourth prince made the same stupid request as he was curious at the beginning, he would never agree to it when he saw Ah Liu. However, what he didn't expect was that the third prince and the fourth prince were certainly lightly and skillfully caught on the back of the cow by Ah Liu, and he was also suddenly attacked by Ah Liu.

God knows what kind of mood he was in when he was just arched on the back of a cow, and how much sweat was on his back at this moment!

Zhu Ying shouted for a while, and when she saw Ji Jiu and the others, her smiling face was immediately put away. She raised her chin slightly, where was she still trembling just now, and she became the domineering lady again.

"Why are you here?"

Ji Jiu knew that Zhu Ying had always been arrogant towards strangers—but if he wasn't an acquaintance, even if he had seen him many times, he would be a stranger in the eyes of this eldest lady—so while he stepped forward, he carefully maintained a distance that would not anger Zhu Ying, so he bent down and said with a smile: "It just so happened that we went out of the city to go out, and when we arrived at the front of Qiyuan and stationed in the horse, I heard that the teacher also came out." ”

He still didn't mention the third prince and the fourth prince at all, paused and continued: "So we went to Zhao Yuan to visit and found this place again. Of course, a few of us also have selfish motives. I heard that the teacher of the branch hall has appointed Xu Jiancheng from the rope hall to ask the question, but Xu Heizi has always been ruthless, and we are afraid that he will turn around and deliberately embarrass us in Banshan Hall and the teacher. ”

Not to embarrass the prisoners, but to embarrass Banshantang and Zhang Shou, this is Ji Jiu's language art. However, after Zhu Ying looked at him for a moment, she suddenly laughed and said, "Ji Jiu, are you so unsure of yourself?" I remember that you were in the top five every time you took the monthly exam in Mid-Levels Hall, and even took the third exam once, what are you worried about? ”

Ji Jiu didn't need to look back, he could feel those piercing eyes behind him. He didn't expect Zhu Ying to know her ranking, and she knew that it was all what Zhang Shou told her. Knowing that the people who came with him behind him were not fuel-efficient lamps in the first place, he immediately laughed dryly.

"Even if I can really get through safely, but if the reputation of Banshan Hall is damaged, wouldn't I be sorry for the teacher's hard work in the past few months? Besides, it also dampened the enthusiasm of the prison guards in the Mid-Levels Hall, after all, everyone finally mustered up their strength......

Without waiting for Ji Jiu to finish speaking, Zhu Ying interrupted: "Okay, I will naturally tell you about this." Don't worry, Xu Heizi is not Yang Yiming, if you want to compare, compare him with the former Wang Datou, that's about the same. As for the other six halls of Guozijian, they will soon be so busy that they don't have time to hold on to the half-mountain hall! ”

Ji Jiuda came all the way out of the city to Haidian, of course, he would not be sent away by Zhu Ying with a few words. He looked at the three people riding the bull over there, and said with a smile on his face as soon as his eyes rolled: "Then again, the teacher is here today...... Persuading farmers? ”

Zhu Ying didn't expect Ji Jiu to be so good at talking, and immediately laughed: "Farmers are too late to work hard for the sake of food, so they need to be persuaded to do so?" Your Dr. Zhang wants Saburo and Shiro to know the hardships of farming. Now the bull riding is just for them to see what it is like to ride the honest and honest buffalo from a distance. Let them go to the ground in person after a while, and they will know that it is powerful! ”

Well, although she hadn't gone to the field herself when she was in Rongshui Village last time, she had seen the farmer sweating like rain...... Compared with the dry land, there were all kinds of small insects in the rice fields, especially blood-sucking leeches, and she was almost scared to death at that time. Therefore, if Zhang Shou was allowed to take the third prince and the fourth prince to the ground, she would not dare to let them go down to the paddy field!

Ji Jiu originally thought that Zhang Shou wanted the third prince and the fourth prince to see the hardships of farming and how difficult the people's livelihood was, so he felt that the word persuading farmers was already very appropriate, but he never expected that what Zhang Shou wanted to do would go further!

The Son of Heaven is pro-farmer, but he is still just supporting the plough to make a appearance, these two little princes want to know how to do farming? They don't have much hope of entering the East Palace in the future, and then reigning over the world, but they are just two rich and idle kings! Moreover, Zhu Ying's title is also a big one, a mouthful of Saburo Shiro, is she really her younger brother, or does she want to cover up the identities of the two?

Zhu Ying could feel Ji Jiu's surprise and the disapproval of those behind him. If she had never really seen the life of a farmer before, she would probably only think that this so-called going to the field was just fun, but at this moment, on a whim, she suddenly looked at these people who took the initiative to come up with a smile.

"Anyway, this land belongs to my Zhao Guogong Mansion, although it has been ruined by those of us who don't know how to farm, and we are willing to turn back and halve the yield, but I have already instructed the tenant that this land will be free of rent this year, and I will subsidize two stones of wheat. Fortunately, the two buffaloes just now are also my family, otherwise it would be unreasonable to be tired of the farmer's precious property. ”

"However, since you are here, do you want to experience the taste of sweat dripping into the soil on the afternoon of hoeing day?"

Ji Jiu originally found a reason not to spoil the land that farmers relied on for their livelihood, but Zhu Ying spoke first, and the land was also used by the Zhu family, and the cattle were also the Zhu family's This powerful reason blocked his excuse, and he suddenly didn't know how to prevaricate.

And what caught him even more off guard was that Zhu Ying actually said with a smile: "Since your teacher wants to teach students, of course he also has to go to the ground, just to set an example for you." Well, it's all here, you don't want to run in vain! ”

Zhu Ying's gaze extended from Ji Jiu to several other people behind him, and under her authority, even if several people were unwilling, they still had to respond one by one in the end. So, when Ah Liu's morning glory sent Zhang Shou and the third prince and the fourth prince over, all he saw was a few crying and mourning faces.

When Ah Liuli got Zhang Shou off the back of the cow, Zhang Shou immediately moved away from the big buffalo quietly - he didn't think at all that the seemingly docile buffalo would be close to the living, or the living person who had ridden it for so long inexplicably. It's just that when he saw the few prisoners opposite Zhu Ying, he threw that little fear just now out of the clouds.

actually chased to the countryside, these prisoners are really sensitive and have nine tricks!

Soon, the third prince and the fourth prince were also gently and skillfully sent to the ground by Ah Liu, but they hid behind Zhu Ying's mount tremblingly. The two little guys secretly swore in their hearts that from now on, when they saw a creature like a cow again, they would definitely hide as far as they could! They were just on the back of the cow, watching the tail of the cow smack, and hearing the moo from time to time, they were scared to death!

When the two behemoths were taken away by Ah Liu and handed over to a few farmers on the side, Zhang Shou had already learned the truth from Zhu Ying. He didn't care about Zhu Ying's asking a few people to stay and experience farming, he glanced at everyone, and opened his mouth with a smile.

"We were just going around the paddy fields, and there were a few wheat fields nearby. This year, the weather is good, the wheat is early, just when Ah Liu was talking to people, I also heard that the weather is good, and I plan to harvest the wheat. Since there are so many people here today, let's go down to the field and help with the harvest. After harvesting this crop, there will be another crop of beans in the field in the future. ”

Harvest...... Wheat? Ji Jiu immediately looked at the other people. They have eaten flour made of wheat, and they have often seen golden wheat fields in and out of the capital, and they have seen even more of the oily green wheat seedling fields in the past...... But the harvest ...... Well, they've only eaten noodles, not wheat!

The third prince and the fourth prince were even more confused. Because of the emperor's teachings, the two of them still knew that the wheat produced in the wheat field had to be husked and ground into flour before they could be eaten, and the flour that had to be sent to them to these nobles had to be ground five or six times, carefully sifted, and could not be eaten at all grain, so that they could be sent to the palace and used to make all kinds of exquisite snacks.

But when they really stood on the edge of the golden wheat field, seeing that the wheat was almost comparable to their own height, the brothers were still at a loss. How do you cut this thing?

Seeing that several peasants were smiling and sent two baskets, one basket contained a few bright sickles, and the other basket contained several pairs of gloves, and they did not know what to do. Fortunately, Zhang Shou then ordered.

"San Lang and Shiro just look outside for the time being. When we have finished harvesting this piece and someone has come and tied it up and carried it away, you two will come down again and bring your basket and pick up the scattered ears of wheat. ”

Zhang Shou casually handed the two baskets in his hand to the third prince and the fourth prince, but he was very careful not to call out the title of the prince in front of the tenant farmers, and said with a smile: "When you go back and wait for the wheat grains to be beaten, you can know how much you have harvested." ”

As soon as these words came out, the third prince and the fourth prince were relieved. Seeing that Zhang Shou gave Ji Jiu and the others a sickle and gloves, and gave them two pairs of gloves, he immediately forced Ji Jiu and the others to go to the ground, although they were very curious, but in the end they just stepped forward a little to see a tenant farmer leading the sickle in front.

They only listened to the brush, and in an instant, the leading tenant farmer twisted and cut, and the wheat that was just as tall as them next to him fell down one by one, and looking at the progress of Zhang Shou in the back, although it was more than a beat slower than the tenant farmer, he barely kept up in the end. But looking at Ji Jiu and the others again, the brothers were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing.
