Chapter 412: The Best Daddy
The problem of Giethoorn Village is not complicated, after inquiring clearly, I called the housekeeper in charge of the Pingwang Mansion to ask, and I figured out the situation in three or two clicks.
Although the yield of Yuxiang rice is scarce and expensive, no one dares to swallow it privately. The head of the village wants everyone to plant, not because of his selfishness, but because he is really afraid that he will not be able to pay the difference, which will attract blame.
A few years ago, Mu Shaoqin was sick and didn't pay much attention to everything, and these rice were all handled by Mrs. Tan.
Except for some of them that were sent to the palace and dedicated to the Queen Mother, she left the rest by herself.
To say that this kind of rice is really good, it is jade when it is born, but it is a faint rouge color when cooked, and it can benefit qi and blood and nourish the skin when eaten often, which is especially beneficial to women.
In the past, the rice in the rice field of Giethoorn Village was all tribute, and later it became famous in the world, and when I heard that the rice here was good, I didn't ask what a good way it was, so I gave it to my uncle, which meant to nourish him. But Mu Shaoqin was still a pain when he was alive at that time, where would he pay attention to this?
Don't look at the capital, which is only half a day's journey away from this Giethoorn Village, but the news is relatively lagging behind.
The old head of the village still didn't know that the Pingwang Mansion had changed its old appearance to a new one, because Mrs. Tan had to eat it every year, so she didn't dare to delay and quickly planted it again.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the rest will be easy to handle.
Sent a steward to Giethoorn Village, and did not say that the prince's family had come, but only said that because of natural disasters, the master was sympathetic, and let everyone plant some other food this year, and leave the rice matter for next year.
In order to fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, it is also specially noted. Because the prince recognized the county lord and was in a good mood, he didn't have to hand in this year's grain, and each family planted as much as he reaped, all of which were his own.
When the tenant farmers of the grange heard this, they were so happy that they rolled up their sleeves and began to work hard.
As for the head of the village, he is just timid and afraid, and he is not determined to get along with everyone, why don't he agree?
But the rules still have to be followed. No matter what you plant. The tip of the harvest has to be kept for the master. We have no objection to this, and we will repay people with peaches and reciprocating with plums, which is the rules of life handed down by our ancestors. It was already in the blood.
But Nianfu is a little sad. She didn't get to eat Yuxiang rice. Woo, she didn't even eat her own jade fragrant rice!
"Nian Fu, come and taste this. Your mother cooked it herself, but don't say it's not delicious! With a mysterious smile, Hui Niang dragged her daughter to the dining table, and Nianfu was a little reluctant.
She is still thinking about her family's jade fragrant rice, let her look forward to it for a while, okay?
But what is this?
A small bowl of fragrant pale red rice porridge is boiled just right, and although it is served in country coarse porcelain, it still has an irresistible magic.
Nianfu's eyes seemed to be glued by this pot of porridge, he sucked his nose and ran straight away, picked it up and drank it deliciously, the soft and glutinous and fragrant taste was like a peerless beauty, which instantly made people fall over.
"This is Yuxiang Rice?"
Hui Niang smiled and twisted her little face, "I know that you are unwilling, and you specially asked for grain seeds to cook for you to eat, don't worry about it now?" It's really a sin, even the grain is eaten, which makes people know that they have to scold the loser. ”
Woo, Nianfu didn't know if he was moved by his mother, or moved by this delicious rice, in short, he was in a mess.
But suddenly, she raised her head again, "Mother, have you all eaten?" ”
Seeing that she ate so deliciously, Hui Niang swallowed her saliva unnaturally, "I've eaten it all." This is reserved for you, eat it. ”
Wrong! Nianfu became vigilant, "You didn't eat, did you?" ”
Hui Niang glanced at her, "Your mother can't do such a sinful thing." I asked the steward to go to the village, and I only brought two small bowls of grain. Half of it is cooked, give it to you and your grandfather, Master Agui, and take the remaining half back to the old lady and Mr. Su to taste it too. ”
Nianfu's heart was sour, and he immediately raised the remaining half bowl of porridge in front of him, "Mother, you eat!" ”
"Don't." Hui Niang pushed the porridge back, "My mother has already tasted it when she cooked it, just know what it tastes like, you can eat it." ”
Nianfu pouted, "If you don't want to eat, I'll go to my father." ”
"Your father is busy with business, don't go to him!" Seeing her daughter's little appearance of puffing out her cheeks and refusing to leave, Hui Niang, who knew her temper, took the bowl of porridge, took a small bite, and stuffed it back into her hand, "Okay, I've already eaten it." Eat it while it's hot, less verbose! ”
Nianfu held the porridge bowl, couldn't help but lean on Hui Niang's arms, and rubbed her neck, "Mother, you are so good to me." ”
Hui Niang said angrily, "How many adults are you, and you love to be coquettish so much!" But in the end, he stretched out his hand to hold her, feeling distressed and resentful, "Since that kid from the Ouyang family is gone, look at how thin you have become?" You have to be really filial, hurry up and raise yourself to be fat and fat, that is happier than letting your mother eat anything. ”
Nianfu nodded vigorously, and killed the remaining porridge in three or two bites, "Mother, don't worry, I will get fat back soon, and you won't think I'll eat too much." ”
Hui Niang smiled a little narrowly, and quietly bit her ear with her, "You don't know, your father has regretted his death in the past few days, and he can't sleep at night, sighing vigorously, saying that if I knew that you would be like this, I wouldn't let that kid from the Ouyang family go." If you do this again, your father will cry if he doesn't do it. Otherwise, why did your father ask the emperor? I just want you to come out and relax. ”
Nianfu's heart was shocked, she didn't expect that her father and mother would be so worried about her. But they didn't say anything, they just silently guarded her and tolerated her, perhaps, only parents in the world would do this for their children.
There was a hot current surging in his heart, but Nianfu didn't want them to fall out, so he had to bury his face in his mother's arms and say sullenly, "I'm sorry...... Makes you worried. ”
"Silly boy, what do you say to your father and mother, sorry?" Hui Niang patted her daughter's back and shook her slightly like when she was a child, "You are still young, it is normal to encounter something for a while, and you can't think about it." But why don't you come and tell us? What is Daddy so strong? If you are really reluctant to Ouyang Kang, your father may not be able to fulfill you. ”
Nianfu sniffed hard, "Not in the future, if there is anything uncomfortable, I will definitely rush back and cry immediately!" ”
Hui Niang laughed and scratched her daughter's nose, "You are still young, and you are not ashamed to cry your nose all the time." However, although my mother didn't understand any big truths, and I couldn't figure out what that kid from the Ouyang family was doing, my mother always felt that it was better for a person to suffer a little when he was young than to suffer when he was old. ”
Nian Fushun took over the words, "It's like you and your father, even if you are separated, ......"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hui Niang suddenly interrupted her, "You and Ouyang Kang will not be like me and your father, he will definitely come back soon." As soon as he comes back, you will marry me quickly, so as not to be annoying in front of me all day! ”
"I'll annoy you, I'll annoy you!" Nianfu laughed with his mother, but his heart was clear and relaxed.
It's not a shame to admit that she's not as strong as she imagined, at least, it can make her realize that she has the best father and mother in the world. Give her tenderness and dependence, care and thoughtfulness. Therefore, even if Ouyang Kang is not around, she has to live a good life, for all these people who love her.

Three hundred miles away from Beijing, on Fengming Mountain, the westerly sun drilled into thick clouds, faintly revealing a little red like blood.
The handsome man in the purple robe and jade belt sat on the horse and looked back, with a strong sense of nostalgia and reluctance in his eyes. Not only him, but also many fellow soldiers, all looked back in the same direction, behind them, a mountain cliff several feet high, engraved with dragons flying and phoenix dances, hearty three big characters.
"Wangjing Terrace!"
The handwriting has long been mottled in the years, crawling with moss, but it adds a little melancholy to the deep handwriting that goes deep into the cliff.
Out of this mountain, even the last bit of afterimage of the capital is gone, it is called Wangjingtai, and everyone can't help but look back again to see where they started.
"Let's go." Suddenly, a tall general in black armor stepped forward, looked at the handsome man, and said in a low voice.
The handsome man looked at him again, and the original thick nostalgia and reluctance in his eyes suddenly melted away as quickly as snow meets fire, revealing the rock deep under his eyes, firm and unchangeable.
He straightened his spine on the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly, and gave an order, "Go!" ”
Lead the whole team and move on.
The tall general squinted at him, and there was a hint of shallow appreciation in his eyes that even he didn't consciously appreciate.
He thought that if they could come back alive, maybe this person would not necessarily be his comrade-in-arms.
"Keep up!" Taking the opportunity to give orders, he quietly looked back at the middle of the team, and the horse master who was surrounded by everyone and had infinite scenery was a little pensive.
But the concubine was like all the grooms-to-be in the world, he looked completely elated, heartless, and laughed from time to time with a mouthful of white teeth, which was particularly dazzling on the bronzed skin.
There's still a long way to go, so we'll see!
The tall general turned around and waited for the princess's luan to pass before following the group. It was at this moment that the prospective groom's eyes flashed with a sharp eagle.

When the solar term arrives in Xiaoman, according to folk customs, three chariots should be sacrificed, namely water wheels, ox carts and silk carts.
They are all important tools used by the people for farming, and they will not be forgotten by the people as long as they have this thing, but there is no such rule in the palace. However, this year, in order to encourage the people to fight the disaster, and also to ask for more good signs, the queen Wang also decided to hold a ceremony to sacrifice the three chariots.
The location is set in Xishan, not far from the capital, where there are not only these three kinds of cars, but also an important food base to alleviate the predicament of the capital. It is most appropriate to choose a place to worship.
If you want to say this kind of thing of putting gold on the queen's face, Empress Dowager Mu really doesn't want to come. But in order to show her domineering and noble status, and to maintain the royal image of harmony with one heart and one mind, she still came.
Looking at a gap, Empress Dowager Mu went to change clothes and rest.
She found a place to sit down, and suddenly a woman knelt in front of her. (To be continued......)
