After Qingming, the weather became hotter day by day. The relationship between Zhu Ran and Zhu Heyu may have been affected by this weather, but it was not so cold. In the time from Qingming to Guyu for a few days, Zhu Heyu came to Zhuran's yard several times. He rarely came** Zhu Ran, sometimes he came at night, Zhu Ran didn't say let him stay, he really didn't stay.

On the day of Gu Yu, Zhu Ran Yuexin had just left, and his body was weak. Originally, he was reading on the bookcase, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze, but Zhu Heyu came in, but he was sleepy. Zhu Heyu took the "Floating Clouds" in Zhu Ran's hand, flipped through it a few times, and said as he flipped it: "Why don't you watch "Qi Min's Technique"? ”

Zhu Ran lowered his head and studied the ink next to his hand, and said, "I've flipped through it a few times, and I'm a little tired of reading it." ”

"Oh? That king is going to test you well! ”

Zhu Ran didn't expect Zhu Heyu to say this, but smiled slightly: "What is the prince's concubine?" ”

"Spring rain is as expensive as oil, this spring has been dry for a long time, the soil surface is dry like sprinkling white flour, farmers are afraid that the seeds will not germinate in the field, and they dare not sow seeds for a long time, what should be the situation?"

This spring is indeed dry, except for the drizzle on Qingming Day, there has been no rain. At present, it is the season of sowing in the valley rain, and farmers are afraid that they will not harvest the seeds after sowing, as in the Bingshen period, so they dare not sow the seeds. Zhu Ran put down the ink nail in his hand and said: "The spring drought is nothing more than moisture, and the best way to protect moisture is deep ploughing, fine raking, and diligent hoeing." ”

Zhu Heyu nodded, but Zhu Ran shook his head. Zhu Ran thought that what he said was just picking up people's teeth, and there was no real production practice, which was really just talk on paper. It seems that the people will have to endure another year in vain, and if they can't harvest food in the autumn, the famine will rise, and the country's fortune will be unsafe. I want to sigh softly.

Zhu Heyu knew what Zhuran was thinking, and said to the door: "Pack your bags for the princess and go to Gunzhou in half an hour." ”

Before he could react, the man was already sitting in the carriage. This trip was not a private visit to Weifu, but Zhu Heyu went to the people to carry out suburban rites on behalf of the saint as the prince of Ruixin and the head of the household department, that is, to inspect the spring ploughing situation and impart farming knowledge. Therefore, the momentum was huge, and the team was dozens of feet long before and after. At the front were the carriages of Zhu Heyu and Zhuran, followed by the two scholars of Taixue, and the third carriage was Ruoyi and Shui Xin. At the back is the protective guard. There are two people on the left and right of the team, Zhu Lang and Chasing the Wind. One person rides the snow and rides in the mountains, and the other rides the jujube red war horse, all of which are heroic.

Gu Yu is the end of spring, and everything is full of green. Zhu Ran sat in the carriage and frequently opened the window to see the beautiful scenery outside the car. But the beautiful scenery in his eyes but can't get into his heart, he brought himself out again, the first two times out of the house Zhu Ran still minds, although looking at the current situation, he may not have any intention of using himself, but why take her out in one more move, isn't he in love with himself, Zhu Ran shook his head, what is she thinking?

The further south you go, the harder it is to see green. GonzhouGunzhou, as the name suggests, is an arid place, removing the rolling word of three points of water. But with the image of this word, rolling on the dry land, I feel uncomfortable when I think about it. Zhu Ran opened the curtains and saw that the wheels of the carriage were rolling with dust in circles, and Fang felt that the word Gunzhou was very good.

After two days of traveling, I stopped several times at the post station on the way, and it was almost dusk when I arrived in Gunzhou. A hundred and ten zhang away from the gate of Gunzhou, I saw the county guard of Gunzhou waiting at the gate of the city with a group of petty officials from a distance.

After everyone saluted, Zhu Heyu looked at Zhu Ran before lifting the curtain and said: "Ran Ran is familiar with agricultural books, I think I have a high opinion on the spring drought in my heart, why don't you get off the car and discuss it with hundreds of officials?" ”

Zhu Ran thought that Zhu Heyu was just joking, but he didn't expect him to really take her out of the carriage.

Wu Yimin, the county guard of Gunzhou, was as his name suggested, and when he saw Zhu Heyu, he had no flattery in Arabic, but went straight to the point and described to Zhu Heyu in detail the situation of agriculture and mulberry in Gunzhou County. However, Lord Sun of Zhizhou, who was beside Wu Yimin, said to him: "The concubine of King Ruixin is still standing beside her, and your lord should not send someone to arrange a post station soon." ”

Wu Yimin was so anxious about political affairs that he had no time to take care of such details, and only after listening to what Sun Zhizhou said, did he react and hurriedly asked Zhu Heyu for his guilt.

Zhu Heyu waved his hand and said: "Lord Wu is such a good official, he has done his best for the court and the people, if this king treats the sins of adults because of such a trivial matter, wouldn't he have no eyes." ”

While he was talking, the people sent by Wu Yimin earlier had already prepared a sedan chair for Zhuran. Zhu Heyu shook Zhuran's hand in the dark, and then said, "Princess Fang will go and rest first, she must be tired after two days of driving and horses." ”

Zhu Ran was surrounded by officials and walked towards the post station of Gunzhou County. As you walk, someone carefully greeted you and said something flattering. Zhu Ran replied casually, thinking that Zhu Heyu would really buy people's hearts. He holds military power in his hands and holds a high position, but he leads the officials of the household department to come all the way to Gunzhou to do things, and in his heart he has already seen the truth that those who win the hearts of the people win the world very thoroughly. Coupled with his benevolent and gentle attitude towards officials and to himself just now, it is presumable that tomorrow, his tolerant and benevolent image will spread all over Gunzhou.

The dinner is also very well prepared, with meat and vegetarian combinations, which is very delicious. After finishing the meal and having a cup of tea, Shui Xin came in and asked Zhuran if he wanted to prepare bath water. As soon as Zhu Ran nodded, Ruoyi walked in with a stack of books. Before she could speak, the smile on her face had already revealed her heart. Zhu Ran asked, "Why do you bring so many books?" ”

Ruoyi said: "General Chai just took the book to pass the word, saying that the prince asked his wife to read more books in her spare time." ”

Zhu Ran walked to the side of the case and looked at a stack of books all about agriculture, including Wang Zhen's "Book of Agriculture", Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", and the official agricultural book "Agricultural Mulberry Collection". Thinking of what he said to himself when he was in the carriage, Zhu Ran thought, did he really let himself go and discuss the method of spring drought with the hundred officials?

After taking a bath, I waited for him for more than an hour, but he didn't come, so Fang undressed and went to sleep. When it was dawn, she felt that there was someone beside her in a daze, and when she suddenly opened her eyes, she saw Zhu Heyu lying on her side with her clothes, her breath was stable, and she was sleeping very deeply. She walked quietly past him at the lodging, and she looked at his tired face, even in her sleep, her eyebrows still frowning. I can't help but feel tired for him. Quietly go outside and light a candle. Sitting next to the desk, he was uneasy, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, he opened a few agricultural books sent by Zhu Heyu, but he just read them but didn't care. A few big words on the black wooden plaque suddenly flashed over his head, "Mother Concubine Rong Guifei's position". Frightened for a moment, the brush in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously, although it made a small sound, Zhu Ran was still afraid of waking him up, so he got up lightly and looked into the inner room, seeing that Zhu Heyu's breath was still stable, and he was not moved by this sound at all, and he was slightly relieved.
