The Emperor Taishang and Concubine Liu were able to do what they said, and they did not delay the trip, and they left as they said, without dragging their feet at all.

In the past few years, it is still useful for the two of them to get up early every day to exercise, and they don't see any fatigue when they rush all day long, and even when they camp and rest at night, the Emperor Taishang is in high spirits and is in the mood to play some small musical instruments, and Concubine Liu dances with the music, and the atmosphere is particularly harmonious.

The Emperor Taishang often sighed to Lu Baichuan: "It's good to come out for a walk, I think my body is a lot tougher, and it's much more reliable than asking for immortals before!" ”

Since leaving the national capital, they have changed their names, calling themselves "old slaves" when outsiders are outsiders, and calling themselves "I" when there are no outsiders, without revealing their identities at all.

Lu Baichuan nodded and smiled: "Jiu'er said that life is to move, and your body has been much better than before in the past few years." ”

"Eh, speaking of that girl, if she is there all the way, there will be a lot more joy than that. Oh, and dogs! ”

The Emperor Taishang said, showing that he missed them very much.

"What's the name of that little girl born in your family, I have prepared a gift for her!"

Although I haven't seen it yet, the Emperor Taishang already imagines that the meaty little ball must be as cute as a dog.

"My father named Xiangxiang, Xiangjun's Xiang."

"Xiangxiang, what a good name!"

The Emperor repeated it once, remembering it in his heart, thinking that he would engrave his name on the gift he had given to the child in his spare time.

Probably lucky, I walked for more than half a month without incident, no accident happened, the emperor often praised his ability to pretend, and no one found anything wrong for so long.

Everyone naturally patted him on the back, and as he patted it, the sky was full of dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily.

Lu Baichuan said: "It's about to rain, the mountain road is muddy, why don't we borrow a night in a nearby village and set off early tomorrow morning?" ”

The Emperor Taishang nodded: "You can do it, we can do it!" ”

Lu Baichuan sent people to nearby villages to inquire about the situation, but the people did not have so many spare rooms in their homes, so they could only live in a few nearby families.

In order to facilitate protection, Lu Baichuan lived with the Emperor Taishang and Concubine Liu in the village chief's house.

The head of this village is still very young, only about forty years old, and has two sons and two daughters in the family, and the eldest granddaughter is only five years old, with two small tugs on her head, which is so cute.

When he saw a group of strangers coming to his house, he hid in some fear and hid behind the wall to peek around.

Seeing this, the village chief said with a smile: "The baby in the family is timid, which makes the nobles laugh." Please, I'll pour water for all of you! ”

They borrowed money for one night, and the village chief naturally entertained them attentively.

"It's okay to get out of the way, just grow up slowly."

The Emperor waved his hand absentmindedly, his eyes staring at the little girl above her head.

"Kid, come here, grandpa will give you candy!"

The Emperor beckoned to the little girl and smiled kindly.

The little girl was a little moved, but she still didn't dare to come, and looked at the village chief a little blankly.

The village chief smiled and said, "The noble man called you, come here!" ”

The little girl stepped forward with some cringe, and the Emperor touched her fluffy little tugging as he wished, and took out a handful of candy from his sleeve and gave it to her.

Seeing this, the village chief hurriedly stepped forward to stop his little granddaughter from picking it up, and his face showed surprise: "Noble, don't, this is too precious!" ”

Although the nobles in front of him are dressed as ordinary people, the temperament of the whole body is not something that ordinary people can have, and at this time, the emperor's temples are white, but his chin is clean, and they all say that the eunuchs in the palace do not have beards, and the village chief guessed that this must be the noble father-in-law who is on an errand in the palace.

Those who came out of the palace and can live to this age, their status is definitely not low, and their ordinary people dare not offend.

"It's okay, it's just a handful of sugar!"

After saying that, he hurriedly stuffed the candy to the little girl, as if he was afraid that the village chief would stop him again.

The little girl was amused by his appearance and said sweetly: "Thank you, grandpa!" ”

"Eh, the little mouth is so sweet! Look at how smart the child is! Come, tell grandpa, what's your name? ”

"Cuiniu."

Feeling that the emperor's attitude was very gentle, he kept smiling and talking to himself, and the little girl was a lot bolder.

"Not bad, yes, that's good!"

The Emperor Taishang is a little childlike now, and when Concubine Liu saw a group of people just watching him talk to the little girl, she took the initiative to pull his sleeve and said, "Father-in-law Chang, everyone is waiting." ”

The Emperor Taishang didn't react for a moment that he was now called "Gonggong Chang", and looked at Concubine Liu a little blankly, Concubine Liu glanced at him, and he reacted, oh, and said: "Yes, yes, let's go, let's go in!" ”

He took the little girl's hand and walked inside, the village chief was a little nervous next to him, and the baby and her mother were also watching nervously not far away, worried that the child would be ignorant and annoy the nobles and bring trouble to the whole family.

Fortunately, the little girl was very sensible, but she followed obediently, and did not speak or cry, and the whole family of the village chief quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a seat, the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief brought tea, and the emperor happened to be thirsty, so he took a sip and unexpectedly felt that it was delicious.

"What kind of tea is this? It's so good. ”

The village chief said modestly: "It's the wild tea tree that grows casually in our own mountains, we pick it back and fry it ourselves, and we will drink it, and the nobles don't dislike it." ”

"It turned out to be a wild tea fried by himself, and he is really still a master in the folk!"

The Emperor sighed, took another sip, opened the conversation, and said, "Such a good tea, you can take it to the shops on the street to sell, someone must collect it." ”

"Yes, over the years, the court has been getting better and better to our people, and has encouraged us to do business, although this tea is not worth a few dollars, but it can also add some input to the family, and the life of the family is getting better and better."

Many years ago, merchants were the most despised, no matter how poor the people were, they didn't want to do business with merchants, and the things they grew in their own fields were left to eat by themselves in addition to handing them over to the imperial court, and at most they exchanged some daily necessities with the people in the village, so they basically didn't have much money in their hands.

However, in recent years, the imperial court has become more and more tolerant of merchants, and merchants can bring distant specialties to the people, and they are not so resistant to merchants, and everyone is willing to associate with merchants, and is willing to sell their surplus agricultural products to merchants, so that they can make money and improve their quality of life.

Seeing the heartfelt smiles on their faces, the Emperor Taishang was also very pleased, and asked casually, "What price do you sell this tea for?" ”

"Ten pennies a pound."

The Emperor's eyes were about to pop out: "What!! ”
