A concubine to be married dressed as a prince

Autumn harvest is as important as spring plowing. Just as spring plowing needs a ceremony presided over by the highest local official every year, autumn harvest is also presided over by someone.

So when Jiang Yanqing was introduced to the governor of Yanchuan with a thin armor, and then led to the field by the governor, and handed the sickle in his hand, Jiang Yanqing was in a daze.

What's the matter, didn't you let him take a walk and have fun? What's the matter with giving him a scythe, is this for him to harvest?

Who will tell him how to use this thing, it won't cut him, right?

Li Changyong glanced at Jiang Yanqing, who was holding a sickle so stiffly that he was in the same posture as a scarecrow in the field, and reminded him in a low voice behind him: "Princess, you can just cut a little, and just show it. If you really can't, just bend down."

Jiang Yanqing bent down holding a sickle, his body submerged in the heavy ears of wheat.After a while, he stood up, and behind him was a man in official uniform who sang loudly: "My lord concubine is here, and I will bless the land of Yanchuan, and protect the people of Yanchuan. !"

Many people stood on the terrace in the field, but they all knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Yanqing.

Jiang Yanqing was so frightened by the battle that his expression changed, "Master Inspector, this, this...you get them up quickly."

Li Changyong thinks that their princess is beautiful, but she really doesn't see her new look, she is not as knowledgeable as a soldier with no official title like him.

He couldn't bear to say: "Princess, you just say that you can be flat."

Jiang Yanqing immediately said: "Ping, flat, all flat."

The official sang loudly again: "Pingshen!"

After the ceremony was completed, the people began to get busy waving their sickles.Jiang Yanqing looked at those dark-skinned people who were working fast, and then looked down at the uneven handful of wheat he had cut, feeling very ashamed in his heart.

Lord Inspector smiled and said: "The princess is tired, how about I ask the princess to move to the house and have a sip of hot tea?"

Jiang Yanqing glanced at the governor, and thought, I bent down, what's the trouble, besides, he doesn't like tea and doesn't want to go.

He was dawdling here and didn't want to move, but Li Changyong couldn't stay idle. He ran to the side to help farmers harvest wheat, and he was very busy.

Jiang Yanqing took a look and became interested.He had never done farm work before, and he felt fresh, so he went to Li Changyong to learn how to cut wheat with a sickle.

Now the governor is in trouble, if the princess doesn't leave, he can't leave either, if the princess cuts the wheat, can he still watch from the sidelines?

So the governor also picked up the sickle to cut the wheat, and the people brought by the governor also started to cut the wheat. The soldiers who followed the princess, except those who were on guard, all went to the fields one after another.

Now, the speed of harvesting was several times faster, and more than half of it was harvested in one morning.

Jiang Yanqing's hands were full of dust and the small white marks drawn by the sharp edges of the leaves. He sat in the ridge, wiped the sweat from his face with his hands, and suddenly turned into a painted cat.

An old man walked over tremblingly, "My lord, would you like some water?"

Jiang Yanqing hurriedly got up to support the old man, took the water bag in his hand, and smiled shyly, "Thank you, sir."

"Oh, you've spoiled the grassroots. My lord concubine can't call grassroots that." The old man trembled and was about to kneel and kowtow.

Jiang Yanqing quickly supported him and sat on the ground side by side.

"Master, you still come to work in the fields at such an advanced age." Jiang Yanqing asked.

Probably because Jiang Yanqing was too close to the people, the old man relaxed a lot, and began to gossip about him, "Oh, I can't do it, it's not that the people from Xiling are going to call, my son was conscripted into the military camp, my wife is sick It’s not good, there is still a two-year-old baby, and the daughter-in-law still has one in her stomach, so the family’s fields can’t be left unused, and there will be nothing to eat by then.”

Every person killed in war is the collapse of a family.Even if the war has not yet started, countless families have paid silently for it.Jiang Yanqing was silent for a moment, then raised a smiling face, "Master, where is your land, let me collect it for you."

The old man was dazzled by his bright smile, and said in a daze: "Son, you are really good-looking and sensible. It's a good fortune for the prince to marry such a princess as you."

Jiang Yanqing blushed with embarrassment after being praised so much by the elders, "Master, what are you talking about. Wait for a while, I'll call someone to help you harvest the wheat."

Jiang Yanqing turned around and ran away. After a while, Li Changyong brought a few people over to help the old man recover the land, but Jiang Yanqing did not come back.

Yuebai let go of the horse's hooves and returned to win.

Chu Chengji was sitting in the tent, listening to the report from the spies ahead.

It turned out that Xiling was gathering troops, and it seemed that he wanted to climb over from the mountain on the right side of Beiguan, avoid the checkpoint of Beiguan, and enter the field directly.

Chu Chengji saw Jiang Yanqing coming in in a hurry, and waved the spies to go down.

Jiang Yanqing was still holding the old man's water bag in his hand, and put it on the table in front of Chu Chengji with a "snap", then took Chu Chengji's half-filled water glass, and drank it clean with two gulps.

Chu Chengji wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, "Why is it so urgent?"

Jiang Yanqing heard half of what the spy said just now, pulled his hand, and asked anxiously: "Are the people from Xiling coming to call? What if the dealer hasn't finished confiscating it?"

Chu Chengji held Jiang Yanqing's hand in the palm of his hand, pulled him to his side and sat down, "Don't worry, the mountains on both sides of Beiguan are steep and difficult to climb. Even if they pack lightly, it will be difficult for them to climb over the mountain in one day. Besides, I have Take precautions and don’t panic.”

Jiang Yanqing nodded, "That's good, that's good."

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Chu Chengji's mouth, "When you come, you should dress lightly, but when you go, you can't do it. Unless they are prepared to cooperate with each other, but Nanguan, Beiguan and Daying form horns with each other. Their trick is really jumping over the wall."

Jiang Yanqing didn't understand these things, but seeing that Chu Chengji spoke clearly and confidently, he was not too worried.

"What's the matter with you running back in such a hurry?" Chu Chengji looked at the water bag and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing." Jiang Yanqing thought of an idea just now. After hearing the situation on Chu Chengji's side, he suddenly felt that his idea was very immature, and he was embarrassed to say it.

"Who does this water bag belong to?" Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Chu Chengji continued to ask around.

"It was given to me by an old man I met in the field just now." Jiang Yanqing touched the water bag, it was the old man's wish, and he couldn't accept it.

"Then why don't you drink it?" Chu Chengji asked again.

"He is also kind, I am too embarrassed to refuse, but I am not used to drinking water that others have drunk."

Chu Chengji glanced at his empty water glass, and continued: "Why did he give you a water bag?"

Jiang Yanqing glanced at Chu Chengji, "My lord, I found that you seem to have a hundred thousand reasons today?"

Chu Chengji looked sideways at him.

Jiang Yanqing chuckled, "You asked me many reasons just now."

"If you refuse to tell, I have no choice but to ask." Chu Chengji raised his hand to lick a glass of water, and put it beside Jiang Yanqing.

Jiang Yanqing took a sip of water to moisten his lips, "Well, in order to maintain the majesty of your lord, you don't have to ask, I'll just take the initiative."

Jiang Yanqing told Chu Chengji about what happened in the morning and the situation at the old man's house, and at the end he even expressed his immature idea, "I originally wanted you to send some soldiers to help the people harvest the crops, but I didn't expect you to come here. The situation is also quite tense, but I didn’t think about it.”

Chu Chengji rubbed the back of Jiang Yanqing's hand in his palm, looked at his delicate face and said: "You did a good job, my order is to grab the new wheat, it's because the governor didn't understand the importance of the matter. I'll allocate five thousand soldiers to you , you take it in the afternoon and let them help the common people harvest wheat.”

Jiang Yanqing asked suspiciously: "Then you don't lack manpower here?"

Chu Chengji shook his head, "We have to harvest all the wheat fields before the Xiling people come over, in case they can't take them away and destroy them."

Jiang Yanqing felt that these concerns were right, and added: "In addition to preventing theft, we must also pay attention to fire prevention."

Chu Chengji frowned, "That's right, I'll find someone to collect water around the granary in case of fire."

"Then I'll take someone to harvest the wheat." Jiang Yanqing also stood up.

Chu Chengji held him back, "No hurry, you go after lunch."

"It's too late to eat. The old man is still working in the fields. I don't have the nerve to still eat here. Where are the five thousand soldiers given to me, and where should I lead them?"

Chu Chengji smiled and patted the back of his hand, let him go, went out and gave a few words to the soldiers at the door, and after a while, someone came to see the princess.

Jiang Yanqing rode on Yuebai, followed by 5000 people, and went to the field in a mighty way.

The governor slipped away after Jiang Yanqing returned to the camp.Although the autumn sun at noon was not harsh, it was still very sunny, and the governor wished he could sneak back to drink tea early.

The peasants in the field were a little flustered when they saw so many soldiers.Jiang Yanqing got off his horse and shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't be afraid, I brought someone to help you harvest the wheat! Let's try to harvest all of these today!"

The 5000 people were divided into several teams by Jiang Yan, and they entered the field in an orderly manner.

The common people looked at this handsome and unassuming princess, and praised each other in private.

Jiang Yanqing had a very fulfilling day, and in the evening, all the fields had been harvested.This is the closest piece of land to Xiling, and further in, there are many confiscated fields.

Jiang Yanqing thought for a moment, and ordered to dig a fire ditch on the edge of the land.

It was a laborious effort, and the common people were puzzled, but Jiang Yanqing commanded the five thousand soldiers without their efforts, so they had nothing to complain about.

Everyone bit the cornbread and drank cold water, had dinner in the gap of rest, and then packed the harvested wheat into stacks overnight and transported them back home.

In the middle of the night, there was no one in the field. At some point, a flame flickered in the blackness, and then spread rapidly, and the flames soared into the sky.
