The prince gave me a bamboo horse

According to the usual practice, autumn hunting should be held this year, but Ming Huaiyan doesn't want to do it, so it's not good to have this time to go out with Wen Xingyuan?Just give the officials of the court a holiday, which is considered as a false public benefit.

The emperor turned a blind eye to this and let him go.

Wen Xingyuan hasn't recovered from what happened in Junyang City a few days ago, and Ming Huaiyan is going to ask him out to play again. Is it really that free?

In fact, Ming Huaiyan has been staying up all night for half a month, just to make time for going out to play this time.

Flipping through the book, Wen Xingyuan didn't know where to go to play. After all, the autumn wind is bleak everywhere these days, and there is a desolate air.

"lady"

"Mother!" Wen Xingyuan closed the book and walked to the door, "Mother, why are you here?"

Ning Nanxu didn't stay for a while, and left quickly. Changsheng and Changfu went in and saw Wen Xingyuan lying on the table, "Master?"

"Yeah..." Wen Xingyuan was listless.

Changsheng and Changfu looked at each other, then slowly backed out.

Ming Huaiyan came to pick him up in the middle of the afternoon, and the two went out of the city in a carriage, "Brother Ayan, where are we going?"

Ming Huaiyan asked Wen Xingyuan to think for himself before, but he really didn't think of a place to go.

"I know places you can't think of to go!" Ming Huaiyan tapped Wen Xingyuan's head, "Let's go for a walk around!"

"It's okay!" Wen Xingyuan really had no idea.

Stayed at the inn for one night, then continued on the road, and did not arrive until sunset.

"Where is this?" The carriage stopped on a country road, with farmland on both sides, and many people were busy working in the fields.

Not long after standing on the road, an old man in his early sixties came over, "Hello, gentlemen, I am Yao Tu, the village head of Taoshi Village. You can call me Lao Yao, please come with me!"

Wen Xingyuan cast a puzzled look at Ming Huaiyan, and Ming Huaiyan smiled back.

Lao Yao had obviously just come up from the ground, his feet were covered in mud, and his body was covered in grass.

Lou Cheng and Chang Sheng followed far behind.

Yao Tu arrived at the village not long after walking. He took Ming Huaiyan and the others to a stop in a small courtyard, "I heard that the young master is coming, so I specially cleaned up the house."

The fence wall of the small courtyard is made of bamboo, and trumpet flowers are still climbing on it, but it is not vigorous this season. Push open the gate of the bamboo courtyard and enter the small courtyard. On the road paved with stone slabs, some tenacious weeds grow there. , with corn hanging under the eaves, bunches of red peppers, and bamboo hats and coir raincoats.

Yao Tu opened the door, "It's a little rough, don't be disgusted, my lord."

Ming Huaiyan nodded, "Very well, thank you village chief, go get busy!"

"Okay!" After walking a few steps, he fell back, "The furniture in the room is all new, so don't worry, my lord!"

"Um"

Wen Xingyuan walked around this typical small farmyard, "Brother Ayan, you haven't said what's going on yet?"

"I passed by on business once before, and rescued a few children playing in the pond in the village. The villagers were very grateful. A few days ago, I thought that you had never seen such a life, so I came to the village head again and asked them for a favor. !” Ming Huaiyan explained.

Wen Xingyuan nodded, "That's it! I like it very much!"

Nearby, there is smoke rising from the kitchen, and the faint smell of rice comes out.

Both Ming Huaiyan and Wen Xingyuan are not suitable for cooking, so they can only count on Lou Cheng and Changsheng.

Lou Cheng actually doesn’t know it either, only Changsheng, who is the son of the Wen family, and his mother is a cook in the kitchen. He grew up in the stove since he was a child. , and then ready to stir-fry.

But the two aristocrats who came to help were still choosing vegetables slowly, scratching their ears and gills for a long time before they took the courage to take the vegetables from their hands and put them in for washing.

"Are we rejected?" Wen Xingyuan asked.

"That's right!" Ming Huaiyan said.

"My lord!" Seven or eight adults and children came outside, carrying bowls or carrying things. When they saw Lou Cheng open the door, they came in. When they arrived at Ming Huaiyan, they knelt down, "Thank you, lord, for saving your life!"

"Thank you, brother!" The three children kowtowed firmly, even Wen Xingyuan heard the bang!

"Get up, you don't need to do such a grand ceremony!" Ming Huaiyan stepped forward to support them.

"The grace of saving life is like rebirth of parents, how can we not thank you, these are some home-cooked dishes made by ourselves, son, please accept it!"

"Yes!"

"Please take it, my lord!"

Ming Huaiyan nodded, Wen Xingyuan and Lou Cheng quickly took it and put it on the table next to him.

Several men, probably the child's father, put several big bags under the eaves, "This is sweet potato and peanut harvested at home, please accept it, my lord."

They have already let go, and Ming Huaiyan is no longer refusing, "Okay, thank you very much."

After accepting it, the villagers left excitedly.

"Very delicious!" Wen Xingyuan had already started to eat with chopsticks, "They are good at cooking!"

"These are home-cooked dishes, much more authentic than those in restaurants!" Ming Huaiyan also sat down and picked up chopsticks to eat.

One serving of fried meat with pickled vegetables, one serving of egg with shallots, and one serving of shredded radish. After not eating for a while, Changsheng came over with the vegetables.

Changsheng fried three dishes, and the villagers sent three dishes, and the portions of each dish were so large that the four of them couldn't finish it until they couldn't bear it.

It was windy at night, Chang Sheng moved out a stove, Wen Xingyuan was wearing a thick cloak and sitting in the yard with Ming Huaiyan, listening to the chirping of insects.

"Brother Ayan, you are so kind!"

Ming Huaiyan held Wen Xingyuan's hand, "Okay, then don't scold me every time!"

Wen Xingyuan's face turned red again, he really could get involved in that matter, so he simply ignored him.

The next day, when the sun was shining, Wen Xingyuan came out stretching his waist, and Chang Sheng was dozing off on the table, when he heard Wen Xingyuan's voice, he got up quickly, "Master!"

"Why are you so listless?" Wen Xingyuan suddenly realized again, scolding Ming Huaiyan eight hundred times in his heart.

Chang Sheng naturally pretended not to know, then ran into the kitchen and came out with a small steamer, "Master, this is the neighbor who came to deliver food yesterday, and the buns they delivered this morning are delicious!"

The skin of the bun is thin and the meat is thick, a bite will leave a mouthful of fragrance, "Where is Brother Ayan?"

"Your highness went for a walk in the field! He said that if the young master wants to go after dinner, he can go too."

After a few mouthfuls, Wen Xingyuan wiped his mouth, "Of course I'm going!"

In the field, the villagers were busy digging sweet potatoes and peanuts. Today, Ming Huaiyan wore a shirt with narrow sleeves and lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat on a small bench to help choose peanuts.

"Brother Ayan" Wen Xingyuan went over and wanted to come down, but Ming Huaiyan hurriedly stopped him.

"You are on the ridge of the field, don't come down!" Then he took a small bench for him to sit on, and took a handful of peanuts to the ditch to wash them, and gave them to Wen Xingyuan.

"Thank you brother Ayan." One by one, he peeled them off and put them into his mouth.

The child who was helping his parents choose peanuts secretly watched Wen Xingyuan peel the shells slowly, washed his hands and ran over, "Beautiful brother, here you are!"

"What?" Wen Xingyuan was curious.

As soon as the little boy spread his hands, a gray-green insect jumped onto Wen Xingyuan's nose, and he couldn't help being startled, "What is this?"

"You bastards!" The parents grabbed a handful of grass and came over, and the children scattered in a panic.

Ming Huaiyan hurried over to catch the insect for Wen Xingyuan, "It's a grasshopper, an insect that eats leaves."

"Oh" Ming Huaiyan is no longer afraid in Wen Xingyuan, but rather curious, "Can I take a look?"

"En!" Ming Huaiyan held it in his hand, Wen Xingyuan looked at it carefully, he had a pair of wings and thick hind legs, no wonder he could jump so well.

After reading it, Ming Huaiyan threw it out, "Those children probably won't come to make trouble with you anymore, wait for me for a while, it will be fine soon!"

"Um"

But those children came again after a while, Wen Xingyuan looked at them, they took out from the hands behind their backs, a bunch of grasshoppers and several other insects, "Grasshoppers and grasshoppers are fried and eaten, they are delicious! Brother Let's catch it!"

"Yes!" The little girl pulled Wen Xingyuan's sleeve.

Wen Xingyuan looked at Ming Huaiyan, and Ming Huaiyan laughed, "Go if you want!"

However, the adults still taught the children a lesson. Wen Xingyuan helped carry the skewered grasshoppers and grasshoppers and walked on the field ridge, while the children jumped up and down looking for the grasshoppers and grasshoppers.

Counting the time, Ming Huaiyan went to pick up Wen Xingyuan, and the children politely gave the spoils to Wen Xingyuan, returned to the yard, and gave Changsheng a few bunches of grasshoppers and grasshoppers to blow them out.

There is an extra fried worm in the lunch dish, but it tastes delicious. "Do I want to catch this worm with them in the afternoon!"

Wen Xingyuan thought it was quite fragrant.

"Go and play if you like!"

In the afternoon, the two adults followed the children in the village to pick fruits from the trees and fish in the river. Naturally, it was Ming Huaiyan who went into battle, and Wen Xingyuan watched from the side.

"If Aunt Yu sees it, she won't believe that this one looks like a clay figurine, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wen Xingyuan looked at Ming Huaiyan's clothes covered in mud.

"It's hard to be the same!"

"What?" Seeing Ming Huaiyan holding Wen Xingyuan's hand, there was a sticky feeling, it was mud.

The sleeves where the two hands were clasped were also stained with mud, Wen Xingyuan smiled, "Brother Ayan, you have to pay me for a piece of clothing!"

"it is good!"

"Two brothers, come here quickly!" The real mud monkeys were holding fish in the ditch and throwing them ashore. Ming Huaiyan went over and picked them up and put them in a bucket.

Although the children were young, they were good at digging mud and ditches. After a while, the bucket was full of fish, and Ming Huaiyan called them up.

These children had a good time today. Usually, if they went fishing in the ditch by themselves, they would be beaten up by the adults at home, but today the adults just told themselves not to play too crazy.

Ming Huaiyan took them back home, and Chang Sheng boiled a large pot of water. After a few children cleaned up, they left and went home. Before they knew it, it was almost night.

Changsheng cleaned up the fish very quickly and started cooking.

After the dishes were ready, the fish was divided into several bowls, and sent to the children who participated in today's home one by one, adding a dish to them.

On the second day, Ming Huaiyan still went to the fields to work with the villagers, helping pick the dug sweet potatoes to the door of the house, and was busy until dark before returning home.

Wen Xingyuan untied Ming Huaiyan's clothes, looked at the red shoulders that were pinched by the shoulder pole, "Brother Ayan, you've worked hard today!"

"I didn't expect doing farm work to be so tiring!" Ming Huaiyan said helplessly.

Wen Xingyuan rubbed the medicine into pieces, "With Brother Ayan's words, they will be blessed in the future!"

Ming Huaiyan straightened his back, "They work so hard at the feet of the emperor, let alone ordinary people in remote places who are bullied by local officials or encounter natural disasters."

Wen Xingyuan didn't speak, and carefully rubbed the medicine for Ming Huaiyan.

"Yuan'er, come with me for a walk around the world, let's see how they live, shall we?" Ming Huaiyan asked.

Wen Xingyuan nodded, "Okay!"
