Chapter 571: The Prince Comes to Peach Blossom Village
"But no matter how poor the family is, they won't even be able to afford to eat meat buns? Besides, isn't your home in Peach Blossom Village? He had the impression that Peach Blossom Village was a village not far from the capital, how could he still be poor like this?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is high up, and he doesn't know the suffering of the world." Li Mingjie looked at the meat bun in his pocket, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Such words made Xia Yuxuan very stinging when he heard it, although he had also been out of the palace, but he was all in the capital. He has seen beggars, but the beggars in the capital can also exchange the begged copper plates for meat buns to eat......
Unexpectedly, Li Mingjie's family is not as good as the beggars in the capital.
The next day, after school, Xia Yuxuan deliberately went to find Xia Jingnian.
"Father, my son never thought that there were such poor people in the villages near the capital, I want to go to Peach Blossom Village to have a look." told Xia Jingnian the original story of the matter, and Xia Yuxuan proposed.
Xia Jingnian was a little worried, "But if you go alone, my father is a little worried." ”
Xia Yuxuan knew his worries, but still insisted: "Didn't my father also have a private visit to Weifu?" If you are really not at ease, you can send someone to guard your son, and your son will definitely go and return quickly, otherwise your father will be worried. ”
Seeing that he was so persistent, Xia Jingnian thought about it and still respected him. Stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and said lovingly: "Then the father sent Leng Kill and Fang Ping to you to protect you closely, okay?" ”
"Thank you, Father!" Xia Yuxuan said happily.
Xia Yuxuan happily told Li Mingjie about this, and Li Mingjie was flattered when he heard this, "How can a place like Peach Blossom Village allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come in person?" ”
"Why, I can't go and see where you grew up?" Xia Yuxuan asked rhetorically.
Li Mingjie hurriedly lowered his head and said, "That's not what Weichen meant...... It's just that Peach Blossom Village is really dilapidated, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, I'm afraid it's ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xia Yuxuan waved his hand, knowing what he wanted to say, and said, "It's okay, since I am the prince, I naturally want to observe the people's feelings." You don't have to go back and make a big deal about it at home, just don't have it. I'd be angry if you let me know what you have prepared at home! ”
If Li Mingjie's family knew in advance that he was going, their family would definitely prepare some delicious food and drink to entertain them, and I don't know how much silver they would spend on preparing a meal, and how long that silver would be enough for their family to spend.
That's why he deliberately didn't let Li Mingjie tell him in advance. Li Mingjie and Xia Yuxuan have been together for so long, so they naturally know what he is thinking, and they are very grateful to Xia Yuxuan, "Thank you for your understanding." ”
Three days later, Xia Yuxuan and Li Mingjie went to Peach Blossom Village together.
For Xia Yuxuan's trip this time, Xia Jingnian didn't know how much thought he had, and how many guards he sent to protect him openly and secretly.
Even if Xia Yuxuan wants to be low-key, I'm afraid he can't keep a low profile.
Li Mingjie returned to the village so mightily, but it alarmed the villagers of Peach Blossom Village, and everyone rushed to tell each other that Li Mingjie had come to Peach Blossom Village with His Royal Highness the Prince!
Peach Blossom Village is only half an hour away from the capital, and the villagers and village chiefs are standing at the entrance of the village, standing on tiptoe and stretching their necks to look around.
Li Mingjie's parents don't know what to do, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, they haven't made any preparations at all, what if they are sluggish?
I wanted to stay at home to prepare, but I was pulled over by the village chief to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together. According to the village chief, the prince came back with Li Mingjie, and they are not in a bad situation. Please net
Li Mingjie's parents and the village chief were waiting together, and the villagers behind them whispered, "I don't know who burned high incense in their Li family's ancestors, and Li Mingjie was such a kid." ”
"Yes, I can actually be the prince's companion, and it's really the ancestral tomb that is smoking."
"I think it's shit luck, right? I always thought that kid was stupid to read, but I didn't expect to have today. ”
"People aren't stupid, they're smart! I knew that reading could be so promising, and I should have let my kid go to study in the first place. ”
"Forget it, your mad monkey can't even sit on the bench. When did you see that kid from the Li family go out to play crazy? When don't you always stay at home honestly? ”
"Anyway, I see, it's the green smoke on the ancestral grave of their Li family that can produce such a promising boy as him."
The Li family's parents listened to the villagers' discussions, and naturally knew that they were envious and jealous, and their faces couldn't help but feel a little proud.
On weekdays, because Li Mingjie is not sociable, he only likes to study at home, and the villagers mock them openly and secretly, but they didn't expect that there would be a day when they were red-eyed.
Their family was very poor, and they never could afford to buy books or anything. Fortunately, Li Mingjie was competitive and smart, put all the knowledge he had learned in his head, and carved it on the wall with stones one by one when he went home, and this is how he could win the top spot in one fell swoop.
The taste, except for Li Mingjie, is what they know best as a father.
Seeing that the carriage was from far and near, the village chief hurriedly led the villagers to kneel down to greet him.
Li Mingjie helped Xia Yuxuan get out of the carriage, Xia Yuxuan couldn't help but have a big head when he saw this group of people who were pressed by the black, "Get up." ”
The village chief hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xia Yuxuan: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Peach Blossom Village in person, it is really an honor for the grass people, and the hospitality is not good, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness." ”
Xia Yuxuan waved his hand casually, "It's okay, I'll go to the companion's house first, and you can take care of yourself." ”
The villagers glanced at each other, and thought they could go around behind the prince or something, but when he said this, he definitely didn't want so many people around, so he had to give up.
The Li family's parents took Xia Yuxuan home, and the village chief also accompanied him carefully, Xia Yuxuan saw this and said, "You can go back too, I'll go around with my companion and my family." ”
There was a hint of embarrassment on the village chief's face, but he still said, "The grass people have retired." ”
After returning to Li's house, Li's mother hurriedly served the tea, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please drink tea." ”
"The grass people are in ruins here, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smiling." Mother Li looked very restrained, her hands were frustrating back and forth uneasily, Father Li sat opposite Xia Yuxuan, and hurriedly beckoned Mother Li to kill a chicken, planning to cook a delicious meal for Xia Yuxuan.
was stopped by Xia Yuxuan, "I'm not here to eat, I mainly want to see Peach Blossom Village." You must not prepare anything, I'll just go away. ”
"This ......" The two Li looked at their son uneasily, Li Mingjie nodded slightly, and then they were relieved.
Li Mingjie took Xia Yuxuan for a tour of Peach Blossom Village, went up the mountain to investigate, and went to the fields for a walk.
"Peach Blossom Village is short of water on weekdays?" Xia Yuxuan asked Li Mingjie next to him.
