Happy Farmer's Life

Because it was the New Year's Eve, the streets were deserted, and most of the shops were closed. It was not as prosperous as Du Weiming expected, and there was a feeling of bleakness.

"It's Chinese New Year in the past few days. After the fifth day of the lunar new year, the shops will open one after another. There will be a big event at night on Fuze Day, and there will be a lantern festival during the Lantern Festival."

Hearing Liu Jingyuan's explanation, Du Weiming nodded.About another incense stick of time passed, and the palace arrived.

"My lord, young master, get out of the car."

Liu Jingyuan jumped out of the carriage first, and stretched out his hand to Du Weiming, and Du Weiming also got out of the carriage with his hand.It turns out that this is the legendary palace, and it really is very grand.Because the manager of the palace had already received the news that the prince would be back today, so the gate opened just as they arrived at the gate.The manager waited at the door with a group of maids and servants.

"Welcome the prince back to the mansion!" Director Liu led people to salute Jing Yuan.

"Welcome the prince back home!"

"Excuse me." Liu Jingyuan waved his hand, motioning everyone to get up.Du Weiming was taken aback by this battle. He knelt down so straight in the cold winter months. Fortunately, he recovered quickly. I guess his knee would have been broken by doing so.

Director Liu came up to welcome him, "My lord, the emperor has just sent someone to pass the decree, asking you to rest and have dinner in the palace after you arrive."

Liu Jingyuan nodded, indicating that he knew.

"Director Liu, this is Young Master Li. He will stay in the mansion temporarily for a few days. You can clean up the Songyuan and let Young Master Li live there."

"I've met Young Master Li. I'm calling you Liu Fu. If you have anything to tell me, just tell me." Director Liu saluted Du Weiming.

"Trouble Manager Liu, I will tell you if I need anything."

Liu Jingyuan personally led Du Weiming to Songyuan, and Zhou Wen and Wang Wu also stayed in Songyuan to take care of him nearby.Pine Courtyard, as the name suggests, is that the main plants in the courtyard are pine trees. Because this courtyard is the closest to Lanyuan, where Jingyuan lives, Weiming lived here.There are many maids and servants in the mansion, Liu Jingyuan ordered to take a bath earlier, and now the wooden bucket has brought in hot water.Liu Jingyuan asked Du Weiming to take a bath and rest before going to the palace, and he also returned to Lanyuan.

Du Weiming refused the maid's request to help wipe his back, and took a bath alone.Well, the soap used here is different from the homemade soap. It has a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, but it is different.Du Weiming was also exhausted after several days of running around. In order to arrive in Kyoto today, he didn't take much rest on the way, let alone take a bath.Du Weiming loves cleanliness very much. Apart from being unable to take a bath during the drought, he usually takes a bath every day, and at least once every two days in winter.There is a brazier in the room, so it won't be cold.After Du Weiming took a shower, Zhou Wen had already put his clothes aside.Jingyuan had just sent someone to deliver the clothes, of course the material was quite different from what he usually wears.Wearing a blue robe is also very energetic.

As the saying goes, people need clothes and Buddhas need gold clothes.Du Weiming usually doesn't pay much attention to what to wear, but now that he is wearing this brocade clothes, he really looks like a prince.The hair is carefully dried with a cloth, and it will be tied when it is dry.Du Weiming took advantage of the time to make a lot of room.The room should be made of high-quality pineapple wood, the workmanship is really incomparable with the furniture in my own home.Du Weiming slandered to himself, it really is a special class, even if the things they use are different, it is hard for him to live in his dilapidated little house.

In fact, Du Weiming has never been used to the hair-tying here. After the age of 15, he will start to wear his hair even if he is an adult. When he first came here, he was still young, so he didn’t need it. He just went to do as the Romans did.A little maid came in, quickly helped Du Weiming fix his hair, and brought a jasper hairpin for him to wear.Ordinary people use wooden hairpins, and Du Weiming usually uses wooden hairpins.It's not that I can't afford it, but I don't think it's necessary.Looking at himself in the brass mirror, Du Weiming almost didn't recognize him, it really is quite different.

"Young Master Li, are you all right? The prince asked me to come and have a look. Do you have any orders?"

"Boss Liu, thank you. I'm all well, now I'm going to find Jing Yuan."

"Master Li, it seems that you directly address the prince by his name..."

Du Weiming didn't realize it at first, it's just because he kept saying that for so long and never changed his words.Director Liu paused halfway through his speech, and Du Weiming also knew what he meant.Calling Jing Yuan's name directly like this seems to be against the rules.How should it be called?

"Director Liu, what should I call you?"

Manager Liu didn't say anything, Zhou Wen stepped forward and whispered in Du Weiming's ear, "Young Master, half of you call Wang Ye Yuan Wang." Du Weiming nodded to show that he understood.Manager Liu actually came to bring the fox fur. It is colder in the capital than in Sanqing Village. Du Weiming is afraid of the cold, so Liu Jingyuan asked the housekeeper to bring the fox fur here, and he can wear it when he goes out later.Du Weiming wore a fox fur and followed Manager Liu to Lanyuan in Jingyuan.

Lanyuan got its name because the garden is full of precious orchids. Liu Jingyuan didn’t really like orchids, but his mother and concubine loved them very much, so he planted this in his yard, and later named it Lanyuan.Songyuan is not far from Lanyuan, and it won't take long.

"My lord, Young Master Li is here."

"Let him in."

"King Yuan, when shall we set off?"

"Yuan Wang? Wei Ming, why are you calling me that when you're so nice?"

Du Weiming didn't know what to say, "Etiquette cannot be broken. It's better to call Yuan Wang when we arrive in the capital."

"Wei Ming, don't listen to their nonsense, just call him as before." Du Weiming couldn't bear Liu Jingyuan's insistence, and finally called him Jing Yuan.Liu Jingyuan couldn't turn his eyes away when he saw Du Weiming's attire. Du Weiming was originally handsome, but he was usually neglected to take care of him.

"My lord, the emperor has sent Eunuch Lin to remind me."

"Prepare the sedan chair, we're leaving now."

"okay."

It's not easy to be the manager, the emperor has sent people to urge him several times, but his prince is taking a bath there leisurely, so it's hard for him to explain.Eunuch Lin stuffed money there and said a lot of good things, which finally made people happy.Of course the emperor dotes on his younger brother, but now that the prince has settled the border, I'm afraid it's not... Forget it, he should be suspicious.The emperor's love for the prince is unknown to everyone in Jingguo.

This is Du Weiming's first time sitting in a sedan chair, and he usually does ox carts, horse-drawn carts and so on.The sedan chair sat more smoothly than expected, probably because the bearers were well-trained.The speed of the sedan chair is not as fast as that of a carriage, and the speed of this person walking is as fast as that of a horse, let alone carrying the sedan chair.Liu Jingyuan really brought some sausages into the palace, he didn't really want to give this to the emperor, he was ashamed to death.Du Weiming and Liu Jingyuan sat in two sedan chairs.Du Weiming didn't know that Jing Yuan usually rode a horse when entering the palace, but this day he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it so he changed to a sedan chair.When I wandered to the palace, the lights were already on, and Eunuch Lin was waiting at the door.Seeing Jing Yuan's sedan chair stopped, he hurried up to meet him.

"See Yuan Wang. Yuan Wang is thousands of years old."

"Be flat."

"The emperor is already waiting for you." Eunuch Lin wanted to say that the emperor has been waiting for you for more than an hour. If you don't come, the emperor will probably get angry. Today's speed is too slow.

Du Weiming walked behind Liu Jingyuan. Because Liu Jingyuan didn't introduce him, Eunuch Lin wanted to ask, but he didn't have the courage to ask.Probably some nobleman or grandson, just look at the fox fur on this body.It's just that I don't seem to have seen this young man before.

Du Weiming is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, carefully observing the legendary palace.Without the prosperity of the Forbidden City, it is not a great weapon.It's just that the inside is like a maze, and I feel dizzy after going around and around.It's finally here.

"Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness Prince Yuan is here."

"Quick announcement."

Du Weiming was really dumbfounded when he saw the legendary emperor, he was much younger than he imagined.It looks a bit like Jing Yuan, especially the first half, but it's more refined.Those eyes looked like an animal, a fox.

"See Brother Huang."

"No, no, we brothers still see each other like this."

"Craftsman Li Weiming sees the emperor."

"Exemption. The emperor told me that you are not used to these etiquettes, so don't be restrained."

The emperor also observed Du Weiming carefully, this is the person who researched gunpowder, he seems to be young, how could he have such a skill.

The emperor called Jing Yuan aside to sit down, and also gave Du Weiming a seat.The emperor took a closer look at his younger brother.Hey, I haven't seen him for a long time. He is taller and stronger. These days are really hard for him. Life at the border is very difficult.The two gossiped for a while, and Liu Jingyuan dedicated the sausage and bacon he brought to Brother Huang.

"Brother Huang, last time you tasted it and said it was delicious, this time I brought it specially for you. There is also soap and body oil, I brought it for you to try. I have used it, it is good."

The two were chatting enthusiastically, and Du Weiming couldn't get in the way by the side, so he just looked around by himself, but his stomach didn't buy it, and he started gurgling.The sound was a bit loud, both Jing Yuan and the emperor heard it.The emperor stared at Du Weiming twice, and Du Weiming blushed.If this stomach is screaming sooner or later, why is it screaming now? It's too embarrassing.

"It's my negligence, Eunuch Lin, pass on the meal!"
