This was the first time in Si An's memory that he went out.

In his impression, he has only lived in two places, the imperial palace and the palace, and he has never even been to the house of his grandparents or grandparents.

Although the imperial palace and palace were luxurious and spacious, he felt bored after staying for a long time.

And I heard from my father that many people will come out to play in the suburbs today, among them are many children of his age.

He was looking forward to seeing such a lively scene.

Si An had been agitated since the night before, and it took him a long time to fall asleep.

This morning, as soon as he heard the cock crowing, he got up quickly, dressed himself, and went to find his father.

After Si Xingjian finished his morning exercise, he entered the yard with his body full of steam from the shower, and saw a small figure running towards the door.

Taking a closer look, Zai Zai's clothes were tied crookedly, and his two shoes were also worn out.

While Si Xingjian couldn't help laughing, he also felt a little distressed.

It's a pity that Zai Zai has grown up so much that he hasn't had much fun.One outing can make Zai Zai happy like this.

He helped Zai Zai put on his clothes and shoes again, and joked, "It's useless for you to get up early, the gate of the city hasn't opened yet, and there are a lot of people going out of the city today, maybe you have to queue up."

"Then let's queue up earlier!"

Si Xingjian: How can he go to the queue for a majestic prince?Naturally, they waited for everyone else to leave the city before preparing to set off.

But he couldn't say no to Shang Zai Zai's expectant eyes.

Besides, there is not much difference between waiting in the palace and waiting on the road.

After they had breakfast and took a short rest, they drove out of the mansion in two carriages.

Si Xingjian didn't engage in too much ostentation, he only brought a cook, two coachmen, and five guards Siqing and Yingjiu.

Naturally, Lan Lan went with her.

The five guards are all on horseback.

Si Xingjian sat with Zai Zai in the spacious and stable carriage, and told Zai Zai some interesting stories.

The road in the imperial city was smooth, the carriage was not bumpy, and the cherries and pastries on the small case did not shake too much.

Si Xingjian was afraid that Zai Zai would accidentally swallow the cherry pit, so she peeled off the cherry pit with a knife.

Si An was eating the fruit, and opened the curtain from time to time to see the bustling traffic outside.

The streets of the imperial city are wide enough, so although there are many carriages leaving the city, they are still moving slowly, and there is no congestion.

There are many locust trees planted along the street, and now some of the trees have clusters of white buds, emitting a faint fragrance.

Si Anzhen had seen this kind of tree in the palace, and he often took a carriage between the palace and the palace, but because the place he was going to was different today, the mood was different.It was just the houses and trees receding slowly by the roadside that he saw with great interest.

Si Xingjian saw Zai Zai puffing his cheeks but staring at the Sophora japonica outside the carriage, thinking that Zai Zai was still thinking about making green balls with flower juice, so he said: "Sophora japonica is also edible, in a few days, Sophora japonica blooms, and when they reach Zhuangzi, they can pick some for cooking."

Si An was amazed, and quickly looked away from the outside.

"You can also make youth groups? No, the flowers are white... Can An An climb the tree to pick them?"

The cub's mouth is not clear, and it becomes more sticky with food in its mouth.

Si Xingjian barely heard it, and asked with a smile, "Can you hug the tree trunk? You still want to climb the tree."

"There's a ladder! Otherwise, it's so high that Dad can't reach it."

Si Xingjian raised his eyebrows and said, "I can pick it up without a ladder."

"Can Daddy climb trees?" Si An Ping clapped his hands excitedly when he heard that, his eyes widened even further.

Si Xingjian: "..."

How could he do such an inelegant thing as climbing a tree?

"When the time comes, you'll know how to pick it off."

Being able to make and use tools is the biggest difference between humans and animals.

There are sickles, bamboo poles and even Lan Lan, why did he use such a primitive and vulgar way?

If Zai Zai wants to see him climb a tree, let Lan Lan climb it.It has four claws for easy climbing.

Si Anzhen didn't hear his subtext, and thought that his father would teach him to climb trees, and he was very much looking forward to it.

Because of sleeping late yesterday and waking up early today, and the carriage was moving forward slowly, Si Anzhen dozed off before leaving the city.

Si Xingjian was not surprised, took out the small mattress and blanket and put Zai Zai on the couch.

After leaving the city, the road gradually became bumpy.

Si Xingjian couldn't sit still, and Zai Zai was also awakened by the shaking.

Si Xingjian asked people to stop for a while in the open space beside the road, and washed Zai Zai's face.When Zai Zai regained consciousness, they got out of the car and moved their bodies for a while.

Not far away, many people have gathered together. They can hear laughter from the side of the road, and they can see brightly colored paper kites flying in the air when they look up.

Si Anzhen kept looking up, thinking that he didn't have a kite, and felt a little disappointed and envious.

Si Xingjian: "There are Zhuangzi, we can also do it ourselves."

"Really? An'an wants to be the biggest and most beautiful!"

Si Xingjian picked up Zai Zai, and taunted ruthlessly: "You're a little kid, and you still want to fly a kite and go to the sky?"

Si An didn't understand, and retorted: "An An doesn't want to go to the sky, An An wants a big kite!"

"You are too light, and you will be taken up by the kite directly, so you can't fly the kite secretly by yourself, otherwise, if you fly away, you won't be able to find Daddy, you know?"

Si An shook his head repeatedly in horror, and assured him: "An An won't, then... An An flies a kite."

Si Xingjian nodded in satisfaction, wrapped Zai Zai in a cloak and rode on the horse.

Riding a horse-drawn carriage on the outskirts of the country is really rough.

It was the first time Si Anzhen sat on the horseback, and he cheered excitedly again. He choked on the cold wind twice before being stuffed back into the cloak by Si Xingjian.

"Daddy, An An also wants to learn how to ride a horse." Si Anzhen said in a muffled voice with his eyes exposed in the cloak.

He is a child full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and wants to learn everything he sees.

Riding a horse and driving a car is a must-have skill for men in this era.

Even if Zai Zai doesn't mention it, Si Xingjian will teach him, but he has to wait for Zai Zai to grow up a bit.

Zai Zai was born prematurely. Although he was well-raised, Zai Zai's body is still a bit weak compared to children of the same age, and his stature is also slightly lower.

"When you grow up a bit, I will sell you a little pony."

Si An is a very coaxable and easily satisfied child.

A meal of acacia flowers, a kite, a pony... even if he hasn't got it yet, he will be happy for a long time.

This happy mood lasted until they reached Zhuangzi.

The conditions here are definitely not as exquisite and luxurious as the palace. Whether it is a house with blue bricks and gray tiles or a small vegetable garden surrounded by fences, they are all plain and unpretentious.

Chickens are crowing and dogs are barking, and cooking smoke is curling up; there are many children playing around under the big banyan tree, and a few old people are chatting aside, looking quiet and leisurely.

Seeing it, Si An only felt it was a novelty, without any dissatisfaction or disgust.

Because they have explained to the stewards of the Zhuangzi in advance, everything they need has been arranged, and they can move in directly.

After placing the luggage, Si Anzhen wandered around the yard curiously.

"Is this our house too?"

Si Xingjian: "Not only this house, but the entire Zhuangzi and the surrounding fields belong to Prince Chen's Mansion."

As a prince, in addition to silver salary and Lumi, he also has land—the prince has a hundred hectares of permanent land.

This Zhuangzi and the nearby hills are all the property of King Chen.

Si An couldn't help sighing: "Wow! Daddy is so powerful!" He used his two arms to make a big circle, "This... such a big place!"

Si Xingjian laughed: "What's so great about this?"

At best it can only be counted as luck.

"Daddy is very powerful~" In Si An's eyes, there was no one more powerful than his father.

"Little sycophants."

After lunch, Si Xingjian took Zai Zai around.

Si Xingjian didn't make much fanfare and asked everyone in Zhuangzi to come to see him.

To the people on Zhuangzi, they were unfamiliar faces. Many children looked at them curiously, but because of their bearing, no one came forward to greet them.

Si An was also looking at a group of children not far away, he wanted to play with them very much, so he asked his father, "Can I play with them?"

He lived in the palace before, and there were eight or nine-year-old servants, but those people regarded him as their master and respected him, but they would not play with him; and the eldest prince didn't like him, and the empress didn't like him even more, Uncle Huang I also don't like him playing with the eldest prince, so he usually stays alone.

After returning to the palace, he has been playing with his father.

He has no brothers, and of course he doesn't want any other brothers.

In the palace, he usually does not see the rest of the children.

This is because the original King Chen didn't like to see children, so those servants who have children will restrain the children so that they don't get in the way of the master.

Therefore, this was the first time that Si Anzhen had seen so many lively children of the same age.

He would love to play with them.

Si Xingjian replied: "Of course."

There are not many entertainment items in this era. He doesn't want Zai Zai to live a boring and lonely life, and start reading and writing all day at a young age.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately brought Zai Zai to Zhuangzi.

The economy here is rich, the folk customs are simple, and there is a school in Zhuangzi. The children are also enlightened and learned about etiquette, and there will be no children who are too bear.

Si Xingjian is more assured that Zai Zai will play with them.

With his father's permission, Si Anzhen straightened his clothes and walked over, took out a few thumb-sized steamed buns from his purse, put them in the palm of his hand and stretched them out in front of them.

"Can you play with me?"

Even if he doesn't exchange snacks, these children are willing to take him to play.

Little kids love pretty kids too.

"Okay." The older boy in the lead showed his elder brother's score, swallowed twice, and nodded vigorously.

"Then we are good partners! I invite you to eat steamed buns."

Si Anzhen distributed the milk buns to the new friends, and exchanged names.

He Shu, the elder brother who was the leader, took the initiative to hold his hand and wanted to take him around the Zhuangzi.

Si An turned back to look at his father.

Si Xingjian waved at Zai Zai, indicating that he could go and play.

Si Xingjian usually pays attention to cultivating Zai Zai's safety awareness, and Zai Zai is obedient and will not go to dangerous places such as riversides and ravines.

And Ying Jiu followed quietly, taking care of Zai Zai.

Si An also waved his hand, happily going to play with his friends.

The children's friendship came quickly, and Si An got into a ball with the children in Zhuangzi after only one afternoon.

Although he is young, he is smart, knowledgeable, and likable, and has faintly become the new big brother among his friends.

There are a lot of fun in the village: picking flowers, fighting grass, bamboo dragonflies, releasing paper kites, weaving straw hats, making whistles with wicker...

Si An also knows a lot of things that can be eaten: besides Sophora japonica, there are willow leaves, elm money, sweet grass roots...

While he was playing, he did not forget to read and practice calligraphy every day.

Si Xingjian: How can my cub be so worry-free!

Happy holidays always pass quickly, and five days pass in the blink of an eye.

They will return home the next day.

Just this evening, an uninvited guest came...
