One is holding a sickle as a saw, and the other is grinning with a large handful of wheat stalks, Ji Jiu is better, a sickle is wielding a cold light, but everywhere he goes, the wheat stubble is left extremely high, and the sharp pole is erected high, like a javelin facing the sky, which makes the first three people behind him even more afraid to rush forward. Looking back at this scene, Zhang Shou was immediately angry and funny.

If it weren't for Zhu Ying's subsidy to the tenant farmers a lot, they really didn't come to help the farmers today, but to add to the chaos...... Speaking of which, in fact, he himself is also making trouble, so let's retreat as soon as possible after cutting this ridge!

As soon as Zhang Shou was distracted, he saw that Zhu Ying had already pointed his fingers and ordered a few tenant farmers who were watching the excitement next to him to come down and help, so he shouted: "Forget it, Ji Jiu, you guys will help bundle the wheat, put down the sickle, don't cut your hands!" ”

Ji Jiu saw that Zhang Shou turned around and brushed a few knives and rushed forward again, he really looked good, he thought of his bad luck in the past, otherwise he didn't say that he would be in the phase, it was definitely to be able to manage the army on the horse, and to govern the people when he got off the horse, as long as he looked at what he could learn, and then looked at the sickle in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh.

Well, you can learn what you can learn by looking at something, and it shouldn't include doing farm work. How can he be compared to Zhang Shou, who grew up in the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing since he was a child?

But when he returned the sickle to the peasants who came to catch up, and was "politely invited" to the back, clumsily learning to bundle wheat, busy with back pain but not very decent, Ji Jiu couldn't help but raised his head again to look at Zhang Shou in the distance, and a very nonsensical, but very practical thought suddenly came to his heart.

Although Zhang Shou said that he grew up in the countryside, it is said that he was supported by Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing since he was a child, so even if he is not clothed and fed, he can definitely have no worries about food and clothing - and I heard that people were not in good health when they were young, so they once missed the teacher of the emperor Ge Yong, and then they continued the front edge by mistake. In this case, how could Zhang Shou go to the ground, and where did he learn these crop tricks?

Zhang Shou, who was wondering how to do farm work, but after barely cutting the first ridge, he immediately handed over the sickle on the ridge on the side, took off his gloves and beat his waist to rest. If it weren't for Zhu Ying looking at him on the other side, he felt that he would definitely sit down without regard to his manners, because he felt that his waist was about to break.

Therefore, seeing that Ji Jiu and the others were pouting their butts and struggling to tie up the wheat there, and then seeing that the peasants behind him had already moved quickly to carry away the bundle of wheat, while the third prince and the fourth prince couldn't wait to jump off the ground, took the basket and began to pick up the ears of wheat, he beat his waist twice again, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Make a show...... That's better than not doing well. Just like the emperor pro-farmer and the empress pro-silkworm, even if it is just a form, it is at least a sign of the Son of Heaven's heavy agriculture. It's just that it is said that the Son of Heaven has been plowing once a year or two, but the queen's silkworm has not been practiced for a long time. As for the reason...... The queen faints when she sees all the wriggling bugs, just for that reason.

The people who scream when they see insects may include many daughters of families, noble ladies, and even many nobles who are weak and can't help themselves, but they definitely do not include the third prince and the fourth prince who are in the prime of their youth and energy, nor does it include Zhu Ying.

At this moment, the third prince and the fourth prince who went down to the ground were carrying a huge basket, throwing ears of wheat into it all the way, and after a while, the two of them screamed because they picked up a huge black insect, so that Zhu Ying had to jump off the horse, and the corners of her skirt were tied to the ground. As soon as she saw their curious but cautious looks, she snorted.

"What's so scary about a dead bug? You know, last time I was in your teacher's village, I saw a spider the size of a palm, and each foot was at least as long as a finger......."

"Sister Yingying? You're not scaring us, are you? How can there be such a big spider, isn't that a spider spirit? Could it be that it will be like Journey to the West, where the seven spiders are going to kill people with their webs? ”

Hearing this, the four princes were just joking, but the two noble disciples who were tying wheat in front of them until they were almost tired and prostrated glanced at each other in a hurry, and then secretly hehe.

Other daughters are about to scream at the terrible insects when they see them, but Zhu Ying said it so lightly, this eldest lady is probably only someone like Zhang Shou can afford it!

Just thinking like this, one of the people who had just been distracted suddenly felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that on the cut wheat stack in front of him, there was a big spider that Zhu Ying said. The spider was black, but its eight legs were a little slender, and he crawled slowly over the wheat stack at this leisurely pace, and he saw that his scalp was numb, and he instinctively screamed.

As he screamed, his companion, who was already scared enough, immediately shouted for help. When Zhu Ying, who rushed forward, saw the palm-sized spider, she immediately shouted triumphantly to the third and fourth princes: "Do you see it?" The one I saw before was even bigger than this one? Now you know I didn't lie to you, right? ”

Although they had seen several large and small insects along the way just now, the third prince and the fourth prince couldn't help but feel a little weak in their knees when they saw the huge spider. The fourth prince muttered a spider spirit, and the third prince looked around to find something to kill it directly, until Zhu Ying used a wheat straw to pick a spider and release it into a nearby ridge that had been harvested.

And when Zhu Ying turned around and came back, facing the two adoring faces, she clapped her hands and smiled: "It didn't hinder us, so let's just leave it alive." Don't be stunned, get to work! If nothing else, at least finish this ridge, there is a beginning and an end! Ji Jiu, a few of you too, don't be lazy! Manly man, he is scared like that when he sees a spider! ”

was provoked by Zhu Ying, the boy who screamed out of shape just now was simply ashamed and angry, and then naturally took out the strength to eat. So, when he finally saw that the mountain-like wheat stack in front of him was finally empty, the whole person was immediately so tired that he collapsed to his knees, and Ji Jiu reached out to drag him and couldn't help him up.

Not only them, but the others are no better, Ji Jiu can't help people, so he simply took two steps forward, regardless of the pickles, and squatted directly on the ridge, like an old farmer who is used to this. However, the third and fourth princes, who were happy and joyful in picking up ears of wheat, followed the buttocks of the tenant farmers who were still harvesting and bundling, filled a small half of the basket, and then came back with the basket in both hands.

At this time, the brothers were already tired enough.

It can barely be regarded as a birth and two ripeness, and Zhang Shou, who has carried the Wu family to the ground several times, saw the situation of the remnants of the army in this place, but he was not surprised. He stepped forward and fiddled with the baskets of the third and fourth princes, and then stepped forward to help lift one, because he smiled and said, "Okay, we won't be able to count how much wheat we have harvested for a while, but we can bring these back first." ”

Zhu Ying also nodded and said, "Let the small kitchen dry and peel the shells and grind the noodles, and maybe you can eat the noodles at night." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Ji Jiu and the others who were stumbling around with a smile: "Since you are all here, then go to Zhao Yuan to stay for one night, and then follow us back tomorrow." ”

Speaking of this, she paused, and then added with a smile: "Don't give me any more panic, embarrassment, and other nonsense." Although Saburo Shiro is not a big person, and he came out with us, he also crossed the clear road, but if you let you go back and shout around, God knows what nonsense will be in the capital. ”

Zhu Ying has talked about this, what else does Ji Jiu and the others have to say? At the moment, he could only agree to be a guest in Zhao Yuan. Although there are some elements of coercion, everyone knows that in the past, with their identities, they may have the opportunity to enter the Zhao Guogong Mansion or Zhao Yuan with their parents and elders, but if they are alone, it is definitely impossible.

However, when he waited for the return trip, Ji Jiufang found that in addition to Zhu Ying putting down the corners of the skirt that he had tied before, there was a trace of wrinkles on the skirt, whether it was Zhang Shou, the third prince or the fourth prince, they were all dressed in cloth before, extremely simple, at this time, the cloth was dirty, scratched, and the shoes were all mud.

Not only him, but the other three also found out about this, and they were all embarrassed for a while. Especially when they arrived at Zhao Yuan, they saw the porter they had just seen come out, and they were stunned when they saw their outfits, and they felt even more uncomfortable.

"Do you have spare clothes in Zhao Yuanli and Brother Zhu who are about the same size? Find a few sets to come out, so that they can be replaced. Originally, they were on a trip, but I drove them to learn farming, which is embarrassing for them! ”

Zhang Shou saw Zhu Ying and immediately nodded and said yes, and then sent the porter in to ask someone to prepare, so he asked again: "By the way, is there a hot water pool in Daoxiang Village in other places in the garden?" Looking at them like this, they can't see people without washing. ”

"There are no hot springs here in Haidian, but the scenery is unique, so our homes including Zhao Yuan can only use some trouble to boil hot water."

When Zhu Ying said this, she glanced at Ji Jiu and the others meaningfully: "I didn't expect so many people to come before, so I only opened the three bathhouses of Daoxiang Village, Nuanxiangwu and Qiushuangzhai, don't be so particular, let them all go to Daoxiang Village." ”

Ji Jiu quickly understood what the so-called "it's better to go to Daoxiang Village" meant.

Under the staring of the four eyes of the third prince and the fourth prince, who had stripped off the water earlier, he slipped into the bath quickly and almost embarrassed, and then his three companions who were full of resistance were thrown in by Ah Liuyiyi, and when they fell into the water, they made a huge sound of water, splashing them all over the hot water, almost making him unable to open his eyes.

Although the soup pool is very large, enough to accommodate more than 20 people, and the water temperature is just right, the three people who went into the water couldn't help but shudder. Not only that, but after struggling to get up, their teeth chattered, and among them was the big guy who was also surnamed Zhang. And when he heard what the third prince and the fourth prince said, he didn't even have the slightest desire to take revenge.

"Sixth Brother Ah is a person that his father and emperor admire, so I heard that the second brother who was assigned to teach Sister Yingying's martial arts, Second Brother Zhu's nose and face were swollen several times, do you remember? It's for Brother Liu! So, don't go against him! ”

Zhang was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He is a dignified eight-foot man, and no one in the entire country is taller than him, and he was thrown in without any resistance just now, which is simply a great shame!

However, seeing Ah Liu quietly going out, he didn't dare to say a word. It wasn't until a voice came from next door that he complained in annoyance: "Isn't there a little rule? How can so many people bathe like this? ”

Although they are usually out and about, they are also full of wine and food, and after satisfying their desires, they charter a big bath to soak in it, but they are all acquaintances! At the moment, there are still two princes who are so naked, what is this called!

"I think it's good." The fourth prince didn't care, "Today, everyone goes to the field to harvest together, close to farming, since we have suffered together, then now we should enjoy happiness together?" Besides, we're not outsiders, we're all classmates in the middle of the mountain, so what's it like to take a bath together! ”

Hellish classmates...... Thinking that the two big princes in front of him were indeed classmates, or classmates who had been pressed on top of their heads several times in the performance appraisal, Zhang Datou and the other two inmates couldn't help but feel powerless. However, thinking of the purpose of coming to see Zhang Shou this time, and seeing that Ji Jiu was in a daze, Zhang Datou sorted out his emotions and showed a smile that he thought was kind.

"The third prince, the fourth prince, since the two of you said that we are all classmates, there is something I want to ask you to talk about in front of the teacher."

Zhang Datou concisely said about Xu Heizi's question, and was about to explain the benefits and disadvantages of the matter, but he heard the third prince whisper softly: "Xu Jiancheng is out of the question?" That seems like a disguise, right? It should be my father's question, right? ”

At that moment, whether it was Ji Jiu, who had just returned to his soul, Zhang Datou, or the remaining two people, they were all dumbfounded. In the end, Zhang Da stammered, "Yes...... How can it be the emperor? ”

"How could it be?" The third prince looked at Ji Jiu with a serious face, and said word by word, "My father and the fourth brother have to read the notes of me and the fourth brother every day, and I heard that they also sent someone to take notes in the Banshan Hall for the emperor to read. The father said that there is a specialization in the art industry, and even if the children of the eunuchs can't go down to the field to take the exam before they can raise people to come back, if they don't even want to learn the minimum common sense, then there is no help. ”

As he spoke, he said seriously: "So, I heard it with my own ears, and my father said that he would write the question himself." ”

Oops, Oops, Oops, Oops...... If it weren't for this trip, I would have almost been deceived by the so-called Xu Heizi's trick!

Zhang Datou stood up almost without hesitation, and he didn't care about getting wet all over, let alone caring that some marks on his body would be seen by others, so he hurriedly rushed outside to dry his body and change clean clothes. As for staying in Zhao Yuan for one night, he had completely vetoed it a long time ago. Time is pressing, how can he have such spare time?

It turned out that Zhang Shou said before that it was true that he had obtained the emperor's imperial permission in the branch test...... It turns out that the emperor is really not satisfied with these waste people who eat dry rice! In case he couldn't get into the three halls, he didn't want to be thrown into the army and be beaten every day...... That refining words can be saved!

He didn't see it at all, and while the other two companions panicked out of the water and Ji Jiu also stood up, the third prince suddenly turned around and lay on the edge of the bath, trying to hold back his laughter. For the first time in my life, I scared people, but I didn't expect it to really succeed!
