After vacating the East Palace, he took the mythical beasts to open up wasteland.

Chapter 45: Still have to kneel down and salute

"Xiaoyan, you're here!"

Wang Cuihua saw Ji Caiyan and Song Wenqing from a distance.

Not only did she see it, but everyone on the mountain saw it.

Song Wenqing and Ji Caiyan just stood there, a sight to behold.

The clothes he was wearing were obviously not silk and satin, but the demeanor he exuded was completely different from that of a farmer.

This is something that people in the village cannot imitate no matter how much they imitate it.

However, the fat feathers on Ji Caiyan's shoulders and the red bird were fast asleep, and walking could not wake them up.

It seems to affect the image a little bit.

"Why is everyone so happy?"

Ji Caiyan asked knowingly.

"Li Zheng said that in three days, the prince will come to the village to deliver a chastity memorial to Widow Zhang."

"This is the first time that such a big official has come to our small village. Even the county magistrate has never been here."

Wang Cuihua couldn't hide her excitement on her face.

She was just a peasant woman, and she didn't know that the prince was not an official position, but a synonym for a relative of the emperor.

"That widow is quite lucky to have relatives and relatives of the emperor help distribute the memorial arches."

Ji Caiyan's face had no other expression, but a faint smile.

The so-called chastity arch means that if a woman's husband dies, she has never remarried and has good moral character.

After more than ten years, the local government will issue a chastity arch to them.

Not many people have received this honor, let alone one awarded by a dignified prince himself.

If it were normal, even the county magistrate would not issue it in person. It would be the greatest honor for the widow to let his subordinates carry it.

Ji Caiyan feels that the so-called chastity arch is not a reward, but a restraint on women, allowing them to choose to stay together forever.

If she remembers correctly, when she was four or five years old, her imperial grandmother, now the queen, proposed to cancel the chastity arch.

Lest a woman be bound to her husband’s house.

In the end, it was not cancelled. There were too many widows, and very few of them could accept leaving their husband's family.

The chastity arch instead gave her a protection from being blatantly kicked out by her husband's family.

"No!"

"Li Zheng also told me today, let me tell you, let your father go to the ancestral hall with everyone tomorrow to discuss welcoming the prince!"

"The new county magistrate has specially told Li Zheng that when the prince comes, the whole village will kneel down to welcome him!"

"Li Zheng also told me that since you are from the capital, you must know all the etiquette. When the time comes, I will teach you how to kneel down and salute, so as not to offend the prince."

Wang Cuihua didn't know the identity of Ji Caiyan's family, but she just conveyed Li Zheng's original words.

When she said these words, the smile on her face did not fade.

I am really happy that a relative of the emperor has come to the village, and I feel that this is a great vanity.

"I understand. I will tell my father when I get back. My father knows how to kneel down and salute best."

The corners of Ji Caiyan's mouth raised slightly, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

Ji Leqin was worthy of being the daughter of King Wen. She had many ways to humiliate people, but she chose to kneel down and salute.

It was definitely not Widow Zhang's widowhood that moved King Wen. King Wen was just looking for a reason to come to the village.

When common people see relatives of the emperor, they naturally have to salute.

However, Ji Caiyan did not expect that King Wen's pattern was nothing more than this.

Logically speaking, she should avoid suspicion at this time. Even if King Wen wanted to humiliate her father again, he would not choose this time.

The prince had just been deposed, but within three months, he couldn't wait to humiliate the deposed prince.

It's easy for her imperial uncles to take advantage of her!

It seems that because her father cuckolded King Wen mentally, King Wen couldn't wait to humiliate him.

"The mountains are almost planted, and the people in the village work very hard. Do you have any other requests?"

Wang Cuihua scratched the back of her head naively, not seeing the anger in Ji Caiyan's eyes.

Ji Caiyan glanced around, and everyone in the village looked at her with smiles.

This is not a mockery, but the most sincere smile.

People in the village helped with the work and received copper coins.

They are grateful in their hearts.

"No, you did a good job, just settle the wages normally."

<divclass="contentadv"> "You guys are busy first. I'm going back first. I have to tell my father the good news that the prince has come to the Waste Chai Village."

"Let him be happy too!"

Ji Caiyan said a few simple words to Wang Cuihua, then turned and left.

"Sister Xiaoyan, sister Xiaoyan!"

Jiang Pandi ran out from the crowd, with dirt on her hair and face.

The straw sandals were completely worn out, and the exposed toes were covered with dirt, making it impossible to see her original skin color.

There is no need to pay attention to the difference between men and women and the bad habit of not showing their feet.

"this is for you."

Jiang Pandi took out a few green fruits from her arms and handed them to Ji Caiyan.

It is a wild fruit originally found in the mountains. It looks a bit like a small apple.

Ji Caiyan took the fruit and wiped it on his clothes casually.

took a bite.

The sour taste stimulates the taste buds.

There is only sourness and astringency, and no other flavors can be tasted.

"It's delicious, thank you."

Ji Caiyan looked into Jiang Pandi's eyes and said seriously.

Jiang Pandi doesn't seem very confident, and she still needs to be nurtured and cultivated.

"No, you're welcome. I actually want to thank you!"

Jiang Pandi was looking directly at Ji Caiyan's dark eyes and suddenly became a little at a loss.

His dark face and ears turned bright red.

In this world, for the first time, other than her own family, someone treated her as a "person", an independent individual, to communicate with her.

...equal communication.

Until Ji Caiyan left, Jiang Pandi was still thinking about the feeling of having an "equal" conversation with Ji Caiyan just now.

She ignorantly understood the meaning of the word equality.

"Master Song, please try one too!"

Ji Caiyan gave Song Wenqing one of the sour fruits in his hand.

The sour fruit was still stained with soil, and it felt so out of place when it fell on Song Wenqing's big, clear-jointed and extremely white hands.

Song Wenqing followed Ji Caiyan's example and casually rubbed it on his sleeve.

Tasted it elegantly.

"How is it? Is it sour?"

With such a sour fruit, it’s a pity that I didn’t see Mr. Song grinning.

Why is Mr. Song always looking elegant and not at all carefree like her?

"It's not sour, it's sweet."

Song Wenqing looked directly into Ji Caiyan's eyes and spoke slowly.

It's really sweet.

Ji Caiyan felt slightly uncomfortable when Song Wenqing looked at her with such affectionate eyes, and silently turned away.

Mr. Song's demeanor is elegant and elegant, and I don't know who will benefit from him in the future.

Just ordinary clothes are already amazing.

Wouldn't it be even more eye-catching if he wore a well-fitting official uniform?

"There will be a gathering in the county in two days. Why don't you take your husband and wife with you and go out for a few days?"

When they were approaching the door of Ji Caiyan's house, Song Wenqing spoke in a low voice.

The purpose is to avoid the embarrassment of meeting King Wen in Huai Chai Village.
