Shengping Hou's family braved the heavy rain to welcome the arrival of this distinguished guest at the gate.

The hems of the family's clothes were soaked in the rain.

The carriage drove into the gate and stopped at the nearest corridor, and Shen Chengyao hurriedly stepped forward to greet the emperor with an oil umbrella, and the clothes on his body were soaked in the blink of an eye.

"Master Shangguan is auspicious, Shen Chengyao greets Master Shangguan. ”

Seeing this, Shen Haiqiang hurriedly stepped forward to get an umbrella for him.

After the emperor got off the carriage, he turned around and wanted to carry the chubby Seventh Prince out of the carriage, only to realize that his son was really too fat!

He almost couldn't hold it!

"Xiao Qi, it's time for you to lose weight!" He almost couldn't hug his son if he wanted to be close to him like ordinary people.

The emperor walked forward with great difficulty holding his child.

The Seventh Prince's bun face wrinkled: "Dad, didn't you say that I don't need to lose weight?"

"When you grow up, you have to lose. "If you don't reduce it, you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future!" the emperor thought to himself.

Shen Chengyao saw that the emperor was a little overwhelmed and said, "Master Shangguan, I'll hug Xiao Qi!"

"No, I don't. The emperor gritted his teeth and stiffened, where is this expression still the majesty of the Jinluan Palace, which is worshiped by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!

Hush...... Finally walked to the corridor! Lao Tzu was tired to death! The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu took his children and blessed him: "Welcome Master Shangguan to the cold house." ”

"Madame don't have to be polite, I'm disturbing, the rain is too heavy, let the children hurry back to the house." ”

The rain was indeed too heavy, and the hems of the emperor's clothes were wet, worried that the emperor and the seven princes would be infected with the wind and cold, and everyone did not have too much etiquette, so they hurriedly sent the emperor to the country courtyard that had been prepared, and asked the subordinates to prepare hot water to freshen up the two fathers and sons.

Xiao'er sent two bowls of ginger soup to them to ward off the cold.

After tossing for most of the night, the emperor and the seventh prince rested after drinking ginger soup.

The rain continued to fall that night, and there was no sign of stopping when it dawned.

Shen Chengyao stood in front of the window and looked at the pouring rain worriedly: "If the rain continues like this, those crops that have not been harvested should suffer." Many people's grain has not yet been harvested, and even if it is harvested and dried, it will sprout. ”

The autumn harvest is already halfway through, and Xiao'er's crops usually ripen a few days earlier than the people's homes, so their family only has a distant Zhuangzi that has not yet been harvested, which is specially reserved for the emperor to experience the farmhouse.

"No, if it rains any longer, the grain will spoil in the ground. "Liu is already out of confinement, except for being a little plump, he has a good complexion.

"I can't go to Zhuangzi today, I'll go and inform the emperor. "If it weren't for the emperor wanting to experience the farmhouse, Shen Chengyao would definitely go to Zhuangzi in the rain and lead people to collect the grain, probably because he was hungry and scared before, and he couldn't see the food rotting in the ground and wasting it in vain.

Shen Chengyao came to the Country Courtyard and told the emperor that he couldn't harvest it when it rained today, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but say:

"Master Shangguan, you and the young master stay in the mansion, I will go to Zhuangzi and let the head of the village take people to harvest the crops, otherwise if the rain does not stop, the grain will sprout and rot if it is soaked in water. When the rain stops and the land is dry, I will come back to pick up Master Shangguan and go to Zhuangzi. ”

The rain during the autumn harvest is the most annoying, the emperor is here to experience the farming life, the joy of the harvest needs to be experienced, and the sadness of no harvest also needs to be experienced!

"I'm here to experience the farming life of the people, let's go, I'll go with you. ”

When Shen Chengyao heard this, he was taken aback, how could this be done? He took the emperor with him, it was raining so heavily, what if the emperor fell ill? After all, the emperor had just suffered from a partial dry disease not long ago.

The emperor knew what Shen Chengyao was worried about, and deliberately showed a majestic face: "This is the holy decree!"

Shen Chengyao was speechless, and said that he would treat him as an ordinary person?

So Shen Chengyao rushed to Zhuangzi with the emperor who was pressed by strong authority.

He was accompanied by Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi, who just came over.

The rain along the way obscured the vision in the distance.

On both sides of the road to Zhuangzi, many of them are farmland.

In the fields, many villagers were harvesting rice in the rain.

The emperor lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out: "The life of the common people is miserable! Who does not hide in the house and do not go out in this kind of weather! Only the peasants can harvest grain in the rain." ”

It was almost late autumn, and I was wet with the rain, and when the cold wind blew, I would feel the biting chill.

"Your Majesty, don't look outside, be careful if your clothes get wet. Shen Chengyao and the emperor were in the same carriage, and when he saw the emperor looking out, he stopped him.

"Has Shengping Hou braved the rain to harvest grain before?"

"Tried, often. Shen Chengyao nodded, and the two of them were bored sitting in the carriage, so they talked about the past and told the emperor.

"I remember that it rained in the autumn harvest of the first year of separation, and my fourth brother and I also braved the rain to harvest the grain, when Xiao'er was just over seven years old,......

Shen Chengyao talked about Xiao'er's funny story of going up the mountain to hunt pheasants and fishing at her grandmother's house!

The emperor's interest was instantly raised!

"Can this fish still be caught like this? I've lived half my life, and it's really the first time I've heard of it! Shengping Hou, when the weather is good, let's try it too! It just so happens that I'm free recently! This year, the emperor is sick, and the autumn hunt must have been canceled, so let's go up the mountain to hunt together!"

Shameless, too shameless! Why did the emperor cancel the autumn hunt when he was sick, but he was simply thinking of a way to go hunting? Shen Chengyao really wanted to slap his own mouth! He really didn't open any pot and mention which pot!

Shen Chengyao could only nod bitterly, the emperor directly ignored his bitterness, and he also talked about his heroic deeds of hunting.

The atmosphere between the two is also quite harmonious.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

The emperor's carriage was in the middle, and Zhao Yong drove the car.

The carriage in which Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er were sitting was in front, and Xiaofuzi drove the carriage.

The emperor lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked Zhao Yong, "Why did the carriage stop?"

"Minion, let's go take a look!" Zhao Yong hurriedly ran forward.

Soon he came back: "Master, there is a pair of old men pulling a cart in front, and the old man accidentally fell and couldn't get up, so he gambled on the road." ”

When the emperor heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Is the injury serious?" Go and invite him into the carriage, and we will send him home! The old man's old bones can't stand the toss. ”

"The old man didn't dare to take our carriage, and his cart was full of freshly harvested grain, and he was reluctant to leave the cart!"

When the emperor heard this, he became angry: "Then where have all his children gone? With such a heavy rain, only two old people have been allowed to pull the cart, what kind of system has it become! Our dynasty rules the world with filial piety!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, send the two old men home first, and then it's not too late to find out!" Shen Chengyao persuaded on the side.

The emperor came back to his senses when he heard this: "Zhao Yong, you go and send the pair of old men home." ”

But this carriage ...... "You can't leave the emperor on the way!"
