Zhao Dahan laughed and said, "Childe, our water is from the underground well, and every household is so sweet." ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Anyway, in short, I want to thank Brother Zhao for his hospitality." ”

Zhao Dadao: "Son, please sit down for a while, I'll go outside to see how the food is." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Brother Zhao, please." ”

After Zhao Da went out, he didn't come back until the meal was served.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care.

Sitting in the house by himself is indeed a bit of pressure for an honest villager like Zhao Da, rather than not knowing what to say in the house, it is better to wait outside for the meal to be ready and then come back to Zhang Luo.

A table that is common in ordinary people's homes, a few tattered but sturdy stools, a few coarse porcelain plates with dishes on the table, plus a few sets of bowls, this is all right.

To Emperor Chongzhen's surprise, there was a large bowl on the table, usually called a sea bowl, containing a chicken that had been chopped into pieces.

I don't know which old hen or big rooster was so unlucky that he died at the table because of the arrival of several of his own people.

Zhao Da's old mother also walked out of the house at this time and went to the kitchen to eat with her daughter-in-law, but Zhao Da's five or six-year-old son, who had just come back from playing outside at this time, was on the table.

Although Emperor Chongzhen kept it repeatedly, he still couldn't stop it, even Zhao Da was accustomed to it.

In fact, it's no wonder that Zhao Da is unfilial, but the custom at this time is like this, when a guest comes, the woman generally does not serve the table, and usually eats in the kitchen, as for the boy, no matter how much, there will be a place for him on the table.

In later generations, this custom gradually became less and less. However, in some places such as Shandong, this custom is still preserved.

If there are guests, only the older women of the family will serve the table, and the younger ones will eat in another room and will not eat at the same table with the guests, while the boys will eat at the table even if they are only two or three years old.

Emperor Chongzhen had to wait for Zhao's mother to come out of the house before he sat down and ate.

The food at the farmhouse is really not delicious. Some cornmeal made of wowotou, plus some cornmeal porridge, is the staple food of this meal.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen, a historical novice, didn't remember when corn entered the Ming Dynasty, and he was still surprised when he saw a nest, and he remembered the taste of the nest he had eaten in his previous life.

Zhao Da saw that Emperor Chongzhen did not go to the chicken in the sea bowl, but kept to attack some pickled wild vegetables and nests, although he secretly said that this son is also a master who enjoys happiness and has problems, but still persuaded: "Childe eats more of this chicken, it is all outside to eat insects, and the taste is acceptable." ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, the unlucky chicken has been served to the table, and there is no need for him to be hypocritical, just eat.

As for Zhao's family, because of themselves, they have lost a chicken, so they will compensate him later.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen was no longer polite, and immediately stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken and ate it.

When a mouthful of chicken entered his mouth, Emperor Chongzhen's tears almost fell.

This kind of original farmhouse flavor, not to mention that it is rarely eaten before the crossing, that is, after the crossing, those good chickens are also made beautiful by the imperial chef of the palace, beautiful and delicious, but there is no such farmhouse flavor.

There was no wine in the Zhao family, and the wine that Zhao Da took the time to go out and get back just now was not very delicious, but Emperor Chongzhen, who ate it for a meal, was extremely satisfied.

When the meal was finished, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know whether Wen Tiren and the others had eaten, but Emperor Chongzhen himself was full of food and was extremely satisfied.

While drinking the tea leaves that looked extremely rough, Emperor Chongzhen asked: "Brother Zhao, this nest is really good, but why has the little brother never seen it?" ”

Zhao laughed and said: "Gongzi is a noble person, how can he eat coarse grains like maize on weekdays, he doesn't feel hungry, and he doesn't eat well."

Childe thinks it's delicious now, but it's just a novelty at first glance. ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, and then continued: "This year's year is not very good, but Brother Zhao's family can still eat enough, which shows that Brother Zhao is a hardworking person." ”

Zhao Da laughed again and replied: "The son has won the award, and if the peasant family is not diligent, how can they have a full stomach." Thanks to the fact that His Majesty was often exempted from levy and forced labor after he ascended the throne, this day is much stronger than in the past. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was about to speak, but he heard a shout from outside the courtyard: "Zhao Da! Zhao Da! ”

Zhao Daxian confessed to Emperor Chongzhen, and then walked out of the house and came to the courtyard.

Emperor Chongzhen faintly heard in the house: "Zhao Da, look for your family's household registration booklet." ”

A conversation ensued, but the voice was lowered.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Dacai returned to the house.

Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Isn't there something wrong with Brother Zhao?" ”

Zhao laughed and said: "The good godfather learned that now His Majesty is happy with the eldest princess, but it makes the people of the world happy." ”

Emperor Chongzhen made a curious look and asked, "Brother Zhao, will you tell me in detail?" The younger brother is curious. ”

Zhao Dadao: "Back to Gongzi, now that the government has sent someone to inform the village, isn't the village being notified door-to-door, and anyone who has an elderly person over 60 years old in the family can go to the government to receive ten catties of meat, ten catties of noodles, and ten catties of oil."

Even those who had a daughter born in the first year of Chongzhen also appreciated a piece of cloth. ”

After finishing speaking, he had a pity on his face: "It's just that the old lady in my family is still less than sixty years old, but these good things don't have my share." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was amused by the pity on this honest man's face, and said with a smile: "Then Brother Zhao has to work hard, in case next year, Your Majesty will be happy to have a prince and princess or something and celebrate with the whole world, then Brother Zhao will have the benefits to take." ”

Zhao Da said depressedly: "Childe said that he laughed, this is the birth of the eldest princess to have this good thing, and when His Majesty has more heirs in the future, how can there be such a good thing?" ”

Chongzhen smiled: "That's not accurate. ”

Looking up at the sky, Emperor Chongzhen was about to say goodbye, but he heard the sound of a rattling gong outside the courtyard, followed by the ringing of bells.

Emperor Chongzhen was quite curious, and he didn't care how Zhao Da excused himself at the moment, but he just left a few taels of silver and left, heading towards the place where the bell rang.

It's not that Emperor Chongzhen is stingy, but this kind of honest peasant man, it's not a good thing to give them too much money at once.

It's that later generations have heard a lot, and after someone wins the lottery or suddenly makes a fortune, there will be countless relatives who come out to borrow money or something, and the people who are engaged are very annoying, and many people who originally had a good relationship even turned against each other.

Therefore, it is better to give a little bit and forget it, the left and right are several times higher than the cost of this meal, but it will not make this man rich overnight.

When Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the summer wheat and corn field in the village, more than 200 men from all ages in the village had already arrived at the field.

Just as there is always one or two large willow trees at the head of every village, there is always a mill on the field of every village for grinding flour or corn.

At this time, in addition to the grinding platform, the village of the village also stood on it.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care that except for Wen Tiren and the others he brought and Zhao Da, the other villagers looked at him as if they were looking at the plague god, they were all far away from him, but he wanted to hear what the village was saying with great interest.

When he saw that everyone had almost arrived, the village also coughed, cleared his throat and said, "That, old and young masters, I have something good to tell you." I was thinking of going door-to-door to notify, but this person is too fucking much, so I just call you together to talk about it. ”

None of the villagers in the surrounding circle spoke to anyone.

Many times, this so-called good thing is simply a fart, and it can be regarded as a good thing for people like Li Zheng, but it can't be counted as a good thing for other poor people.

For example, forced labor.

It's just that this time, the villagers thought badly, because what is being said here is really a good thing: "When the son of heaven is happy with the eldest princess, he made a decree that all the elderly in the family who are over sixty years old, or who have just given birth to a daughter this year, will be rewarded, and the big guy will take the household registration book to the county government to get it." ”

As soon as Muramasa's words came out, the pot exploded below.

From the beginning of the world to now, I really haven't heard of such a good thing.

In the past, there were temple fairs or something, and what was sung in those dramas was mostly what the emperor Lao'er gave birth to a prince in his family, and gave amnesty to the world or something, how could he ever have heard of giving birth to a princess and sending things to the people?

An old man who looked sixty or seventy asked, "I said Zhang Lao Wu, aren't you fooling me?" ”

Muramasa smiled: "Uncle Tai, your generation is here, how dare I fool your old man?" Besides, if what I said is false, it is just a false proclamation of the holy decree mentioned in the play, and it is to be killed. ”

The old man known as Uncle Tai snorted and said, "Really? I've lived honestly all my life, but it's the first time I've heard of such a good thing. However, you don't dare to lie to me about this. ”

Muramasa smiled helplessly, but didn't answer again - when he was a child, he was beaten by this uncle, even if this uncle is now old, but the shadow left by beating a child is real.

But all of a sudden, someone asked, "What if you give birth to a son?" I just gave birth to a big fat boy two days ago, and this daughter was not born. ”

Muramasa scolded with a smile: "Are you deaf or what's wrong?" Didn't you hear that she gave birth to a daughter? If you want to blame it, blame you Zhang Xiaoliu's daughter-in-law for not being angry, who let her give birth to a son! ”

Zhang Xiaoliu said with a smile: "I'll beat her up when I turn around, who asked her not to give me a daughter." ”

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Xiaoliu was slapped on the head by his uncle: "Confused!" What's the use of having a daughter, if you don't have a son, it's a dead end! It's true to love your daughter-in-law well, if I accidentally beat you! ”

was beaten by his uncle, but Zhang Xiaoliu didn't dare to say anything, but just smiled and said: "Isn't this a joke, it's not true, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

Seeing that the back is full of these parents' short things, and even the more they talk in the future, the more they deviate, and even the trend towards the collection of yellow jokes, Emperor Chongzhen also lost the interest in watching it.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Da, Emperor Chongzhen left Zhangjiazhuang with Wen Tiren and others.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, Wen Tiren also made a rare joke: "These croppers are also quite interesting, and such a peaceful day is really good." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "If all the villages in the world are like this Zhangjiazhuang just now, then it will be a really good day." As long as there is more fish and meat on the table, and more vegetables, these people will probably be much more content. ”

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen doesn't have many happy days - or reality, this little girl never wants to make Emperor Chongzhen happy.

After walking not far, I happened to walk to Xiaowangzhuang, which is only a mile away from Zhangjiazhuang.

The entrance of Xiaowangzhuang is also very noisy, but the things that are said are not what Zhangjiazhuang said just now, but someone is carrying a door panel, which is covered with a broken mat, and a little bit of clothes with broken flowers are exposed under the mat.

Emperor Chongzhen took Wen Tiren and others to the side and let the people of Xiaowangzhuang pass through first-Emperor Chongzhen thought that there were dead people in the village who wanted to be buried.

Just waiting for these people to pass by him, Emperor Chongzhen heard a different meaning from these people's words.

Seeing that the direction in which these people were going was the direction where the Yamen of Shuntianfu was located, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and ordered: "Let's go, let's follow and have a look." ”

It's just that he hasn't gone far, and a group of people followed, holding a wooden stick or something in their hands, and running in the direction of Emperor Chongzhen under the leadership of a butler-like person.

At this moment, Wan Yan Chengke, who was far away but had been observing the movement here with a clairvoyant mirror, was anxious.

Damn it, it's your business to fight to death how you want to fight, if you dare to break a piece of Your Majesty's oily skin, Lao Tzu will pick your skin alive!

With a wave of his hand, more than 100 cavalrymen of the Xibe tribe who had been waiting for the order mounted their war horses and galloped towards the direction where Emperor Chongzhen was.

In fact, it's no wonder that Wan Yancheng is nervous.

Emperor Chongzhen is now surrounded by Jinyi Wei and the fans of Dongchang, there are only about twenty in total, and there are seventy or eighty people with these guys rushing behind him, which is more than the people carrying the door panel in front of him plus the people around Emperor Chongzhen.
