Chapter 44: The Imperative
"But you're the prince of the dynasty after all." The village chief said.
"But I'm not getting along with you as a prince now, if you want me to be a prince again, then I can't go to the bonfire party with you." Jing Yuan replied.
Hearing Jing Yuan say this, the village chief thought for a moment, and then agreed with Jing Yuan and said, "Since the prince said so, then we won't worship you."
"Okay." Jing Yuan smiled and nodded.
Then the village chief asked everyone to do whatever they wanted, but there were still many people who approached Jing Yuan and talked to Jing Yuan.
After all, this is a prince, someone they may not see in their lives, and it is naturally impossible for them to be indifferent when they appear in front of them so alive at this moment.
In addition to the gratitude to Jing Yuan, there are also a lot of curiosities, so there are many people who have a good impression of Jing Yuan, and they all come to Jing Yuan's side.
Jing Yuan was also very patient, talking and chatting with them.
Xiao Tan and Chu Xia were not left out in the cold, after all, they were people who came with King Jing, it was impossible that they had no identity, there were many girls who ran to Chu Xia's side and asked what the relationship between Chu Xia and Jing Yuan was, Chu Xia just replied casually, and glanced at Jing Yuan at the same time.
There are also many girls who are not reserved at all, and directly say to Chu Xia that they like Jing Yuan, but in the face of such provocative words, Chu Xia smiled silently.
At the end of the bonfire party, Jing Yuan said to them, "I came to Weifu for a private visit this time, I hope you don't tell me about my coming."
Jing Yuan is their benefactor, since Jing Yuan said so, they naturally did not have any disagreement, so they all agreed to Jing Yuan.
The next day, Jing Yuan just got out of bed, washed and changed, just walked out of the room, he saw a group of people standing at the door, and after seeing Jing Yuan come out, the group of people all showed a smile to Jing Yuan and said loudly, "Good morning!"
Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes at them, and responded with a smile, "Good morning."
After saying hello, the villagers got out of the way, and Jing Yuan saw that breakfast was still steaming behind them.
Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at them, "This is for me?" Because there weren't a lot of meals, it wasn't possible that they finished cooking and eating with him.
The village chief nodded, "Yes, this is what the villagers made for the prince."
Jing Yuan smiled helplessly: "Didn't you say it? You don't need to call me a prince."
"Ah, sorry, forgot." The village chief responded. Jing Yuan sat on the chair under everyone's gaze, then picked up the chopsticks, pinched one and chewed it carefully.
"Not bad." Jing Yuan nodded.
The villagers immediately laughed and cheered, "It's good to be delicious." Jing Yuan had a warm smile on his face, and he gently ate the meal.
Seeing that Jing Yuan had already started to eat attentively, the village chief said to Jing Yuan, "Let's go to the mountain."
Jing Yuan was puzzled, "What are you doing on the mountain so early?"
The village chief said, "Naturally, I'm going to plant rice." Jing Yuan put down his chopsticks and said to them, "Then you wait for me, and I will go with you."
When the villagers heard Jing Yuan say this, they were immediately panicked, and almost knelt down to speak to Jing Yuan, "Please don't think like this, it's torturing the grass people."
Jing Yuan helplessly looked at the villagers with bitter faces in front of him with their legs bent, and he said, "You don't have to be like this, I said that I am a private interview with Weifu, you just want me to understand the people's feelings and experience the life of the people."
"But, Lord Wang......" The village chief still didn't want Jing Yuan to work in the fields with them.
If the prince of the dynasty really went to work in the field and planted rice with them, then if this matter is said, no one will believe it.
Jing Yuan looked at the village chief with an expression that could not be refused, "This matter is settled, and we will go together after I finish eating."
Xiao Tan got up earlier than Jing Yuan, so naturally he ate early, and at this moment he was standing by Jing Yuan's side,
looked at Jing Yuan dumbfounded, looked at Jing Yuan with a face full of disbelief, and asked, "Lord Wang, are you really planning to go?"
The prince of their family, that is graceful and luxurious, is he going to touch the soil too?
Xiao Tan couldn't imagine Jing Yuan standing in the dirt.
"Of course." Jing Yuan responded.
After Jing Yuan finished eating, everyone left together.
Chu Xia heard that Jing Yuan was going to work in the field, so he thought for a moment and decided to go with Jing Yuan, she and Jing Yuan were not the kind of people who did farm work, so she didn't know what to do, after learning with Jing Yuan, she would.
In fact, the farm work is very simple, Chu Xia and Jing Yuan will be able to do it after watching it once, the two of them are strong and strong, and they have helped the villagers do a lot of work.
Naturally, Jing Yuan has worked, and Xiao Tan will naturally not stop working.
At noon, everyone went back together, and it was Chu Xia who cooked.
Because Chu Xia has a very low status in the Chu Mansion, he usually eats either by himself or by painting, so he also has a good cooking skill. Here, there are only a few kinds of meals eaten every day, Chu Xia thought about cooking for everyone before, and this time he finally had the opportunity. When Chu Xia was busy in the kitchen, the village chief came to Jing Yuan's side and said to Jing Yuan, "Miss Chu is really a rare good girl, not to mention beautiful, but also so kind, you must cherish and grasp her, lord."
The village chief looked at Jing Yuan with a wicked smile, and looked embarrassed by Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan's face turned slightly red, and he said shyly, "Village Chief, don't say this kind of thing anymore."
The village chief laughed a little and said nothing.
Later, Jing Yuan was not shy anymore, he walked in front of the villagers and discussed the farm work with the villagers, and Chu Xia was very relieved when he saw it.
Jing Yuan continued to work on the farm work in his hands, which is why the people love him, he has always been very kind, and there is no arrogance at all. This is in stark contrast to the king of the dynasty.
One is a gentle and humble prince, and the other is a domineering and arrogant king, everyone will like Jing Yuan.
"Lord Wang, go and rest for a while. I've been busy for so long, I must be exhausted."
Sweat ran down his forehead, wetting the messy sideburns on his face, and the hair clinging to his face. He wiped his sweat with his hands, he had always been pampered, this tiring farm work was the first time in his whole life to do it.
"It doesn't matter, we are all the same, although I am a prince, but I am of the same heart as the common people, I hope you don't think I'm delaying your affairs."
Chu Xia was chopping firewood in the firewood room, this kind of rough work she had done, and it quickly filled a basket.
She took the wooden basket and went to the kitchen, and today she will show her skills and cook for everyone.
"Miss Chu, I'll help you."
A peasant woman came over, saw Chu Xia carrying a heavy basket, and came over to help her get it.
"Thank you."
The two of them carried all the firewood inside, which was enough to make a fire for cooking. She wanted to make a few more trips by herself, but this solved her urgent need.
Chu Xia went to the vegetable garden and picked a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and she didn't know if these were enough, she saw that there were still a lot of fresh fruits on the tree, so she picked a lot, which was also very good as a dessert after dinner.
After she was done, she went to the river, and washed the vegetables seriously, and now the sun outside was scorching, although she was not very thick, but after all, the weather was hot, and the coarse cloth clothes were not too cool.
The sleeves of her shirt were rolled up, but they fell off little by little. Wet with water from the river, the sleeves of his coat are wet. But Chu Xia was washing seriously, and he didn't notice these things at all.
The vegetables and fruits in the basket were washed, and she got up, but the wet feeling of her sleeves let her know that her clothes were wet.
"Ah, why are your clothes wet, what can I do?"
She was anxious, not knowing what to do.
this
There shouldn't be anyone coming over, Chu Xia thought to himself. She wanted to take off her coat now and hang it on a tree to dry for a while.
Unfortunately, however, someone actually came.
Jing Yuan felt tired, so he planned to go and rest for a while. By the way, I want to wash my face and blow the wind.
When he came to the river, Jing Yuan rolled up his sleeves, held the water in both hands, and splashed it on his face, and the coolness came instantly. It was a lot more refreshing, but the sound of the water made Chu Xia hear it. "Who is it? Who's there?"
Chu Xia was a little scared, she was wearing a belly pocket underwear now, and the clothes were still hanging there.
Jing Yuan heard Chu Xia's voice, he would never have thought that he would meet her here. He had always thought that Chu Xia was cooking in the kitchen, how could he be here?
"Chu Xia, is that you? I'm Jing Yuan, where are you?"
Hearing Jing Yuan's voice, Chu Xia's heart relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that it would be fine. However, when she suddenly realized that she was not wearing clothes, she became anxious, for fear that Jing Yuan would come over and see her now.
"Don't come here yet! It's not convenient for me to ......."
Chu Xia's face turned red and he stammered, which made Jing Yuan look confused, and he didn't know what was going on at all.
Sure enough, he didn't go over, and stood there still.
"Okay, I'm not going over, just tell me if there's something, I'm not going to leave here."
Jing Yuan sat down, his white clothes were wisps, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, like an immortal from the sky, he sat there with his eyes closed, the air was quiet, only the sound of leaves being blown.
Chu Xia touched his clothes with his hand, and it was almost dry. She took off her clothes and quickly put them on, for fear that if she didn't pay attention, Jing Yuan would come over.
After she got dressed, she carefully checked it a few more times, and then walked in the direction where Jing Yuan made the sound just now.
She cautiously stepped forward, step by step.
