Su Yingtong picked a day with good weather and went to the farmland in the suburbs, when he went out, his mother-in-law and maids followed two cars, and a few family members who accompanied the car, Su Yingtong said that there were not so many people, but Qingmei said: "The suburbs are not as good as here, you still have to be prepared, didn't the princess say that these things are handed over to the slaves and maids to take care of?" ”

Su Yingtong saw that this girl actually dared to argue with herself, she laughed and said: "Okay, Qingmei, this is your job, you have the final say." ”

Qingmei continued to arrange.

The mother-in-law who followed saw that Qingmei dared to talk to the princess like this, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and she looked at her privately for a while, the princess was so good to the people around her, she really wanted to show her good!

Along the way, Su Yingtong served like the queen mother on patrol, so that Su Yingtong was not embarrassed, so that outsiders could see it, maybe there would be words like "Princess Xiangyuan is the most pompous", she called Qingmei over, "You just let them go with the car, I will call them if necessary, don't dangle in front of me." ”

Qingmei went down to convey the princess's meaning, and those mothers-in-law and maids restrained a little.

Su Yingtong was very relieved to see that Qingmei was now more and more in charge of her mother's posture.

The carriage walked for about an hour and a half before it reached the suburbs, and the mother-in-law and maid entered the Zhuangzi to arrange the princess's lunch, and a few maids and family members followed Su Yingtong to patrol the fields.

Qingmei said beside Su Yingtong: "Princess, wouldn't it be good for the steward to take a look at these things?" Why bother to come here yourself, lest you get tired? "Not to mention the princess, even the wives of ordinary eunuchs, they didn't come to the field to inspect in person.

Su Yingtong said: "How can others see it clearly for themselves, the tenant farmers work very hard all year round, and I also have to come to see their situation to feel at ease." "Although the women of Xiling do not have much status, but the folk customs are not strict to the point that women are not allowed to show their faces, since this is the case, why not go out for a walk.

These words were listened to by the subordinates behind them, and they couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in their hearts, trying to ask which master could know and sympathize with the hardships of their subordinates like their princess.

A few mothers-in-law took the initiative to walk in front to help Su Yingtong clear the road, "These roads are difficult to walk, the princess is careful of her step." ”

"I'm tired."

Su Yingtong looked at this large area of fertile land as he walked, and saw that the crops were growing well, and there were sporadic tenant farmers in the fields, all of which were in good order.

This is just a good field in the palace, in ancient times when agriculture was the foundation, the field represented wealth, and it was necessary to bother more.

Zhuangzi's steward hurriedly came from a distance, a tall and thin middle-aged man, he wiped his sweat and saluted Su Yingtong and said: "The villain Hu Shi has seen the princess, but he doesn't know that the princess is driving, and he has missed the distance, and he asks the princess to forgive him." "I thought to myself that the princess looked too young, I don't know if it's easy to speak?

Although there is a difference between master and servant, Hu Shi is a good hand in managing Zhuangzi, knowing how to arrange farming and studying crop yields, he is most afraid that the master who does not understand anything will point fingers at Zhuangzi, how many of those masters of rich and noble families can understand things on the field? He had to intervene, and as a subordinate, he couldn't help but do it, which was miserable.

Su Yingtong saw that although this steward was tall and thin, he had a strong body, and he could see at a glance that he was a person working in the field, and he looked at his face solemnly and respectfully, but there was still a little defensiveness and disdain between his eyebrows and eyes, like her arrival was simply redundant.

Su Yingtong didn't mind, she used to hate the rich, not to mention these tenant farmers who paid blood and sweat all year round to support the nobles, so she said: "I just walk around casually, no need to be polite." ”

Hu Shi followed a few steps behind the princess, and when he saw which crops Su Yingtong was looking at, he took the initiative to explain, from the name to the growth habit to the yield.

Su Yingtong didn't say anything, nodded occasionally, Hu Shi thought that the young princess didn't understand anything at all, and said it more energetically, and followed behind him all the way, Su Yingtong also listened all the way, until she came to the side of the path to plow the field, she watched a few tenant farmers driving the oxen to pull the plow, so she didn't leave, and looked at the plough field intently.

Hu Shi said: "Princess, this is the cocoon car, digging a ditch and sowing seeds on the land, which can be covered and suppressed at the same time, saving time and effort, but it is a great tool in the field." ”

I thought that the princess would be a little surprised when she heard it, but seeing that the princess still had a calm face, and even a little dissatisfied with the doubts, Hu Shi was strange, and he dared to ask: "What does the princess think of this cocoon?" ”

Su Yingtong knows about the car, she used to be a high-scoring liberal arts student in history, ancient China is the best country in the world, especially in agriculture is more advanced than the West for many years, so she paid special attention to it, and also went to the library to study the development of ancient agriculture, although this car is the same as in history, but the role is much smaller.

"Can you change the bucket on the cocoon to a hoe? Oxen can help to open ditches and turn over the fields, so that the fields are much deeper and faster. ”

Hu Shi still didn't understand, he asked a few words in detail, and his eyes became excited, according to what the princess said, if it can really be like this, it is indeed faster than now, adding a bucket to the cocoon can also fertilize at the same time, it is more than a little faster!

There was a bit of incredulity on his face, and he began to revere Su Yingtong's eyes, the princess actually knew this! And it doesn't seem to be the only thing I know...... Thinking that he was still talking in front of the princess just now, Hu Shi's old face turned red, but fortunately his skin was rough and dark, and he said unnaturally: "The princess is really well-known." ”

Su Yingtong smiled slightly, and communicated with him about the improvement of farm tools, the more Hu Shi listened, the more he revered the princess, and his waist became lower and lower.

Su Yingtong looked at Hu Shi's appearance, and only felt that although he was a little arrogant at first, he was able to learn humbly after knowing that he was insufficient, and he was an honest person, so she said: "I haven't been to the field either, but it's just talk on paper, and I still have to take care of things." ”

Hu Shi was frightened and said: "The princess can't help this, the old slave has been working in the fields all his life, but he knows less than the princess, how can he make an idea?" ”

"Seeing that you take good care of Zhuangzi, I know that you are a capable person, and if you can't, you can learn slowly, and this Zhuangzi depends on you."

Hu Shi was bought with a few words, and Hu Shi patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, princess, one day when there is an old slave, she will definitely take care of Zhuangzi!" ”

Su Yingtong went back to Zhuangzi for lunch with confidence.

The mother-in-law had already cooked the meal, and the maidservant placed Su Yingtong's usual things in the room, and when Su Yingtong entered the hall, he thought that this was a partial hall of the palace, and it was arranged so exquisitely.

It's just a meal here, and it seems that the mother-in-law and maids are not lightly tossed. (To be continued.) )
