The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

After lunch, Lao Zhao told Li Fu that the new girls had been settled, but now that they were in the house, their previous names could no longer be used.

Lao Zhao came to ask Li Fu to give the girls names.

Li Fu stood in the corridor, looking at the scenery in the front yard, and pondered for a while.

Got it.

"There are four girls in total, so let's call them... Shuangxi, Yuxi, Baisha, and Yunyan." Li Fu said.

"Yes." Lao Zhao responded.

It was enough to stay in Chang'an City for a while, and Li Fu was also thinking about the farm. At this time of year, when the weather gets a little warmer and the land thaws, the work on the farm will begin.

The work in the field, and the granary that Li Fu was thinking about.

But he thought that the granary would hardly be able to start work before the spring plowing.

Now everyone is thinking about the work in the field, which is the family's livelihood for the whole year, so it can't be sloppy.

Li Fu returned to the farm. As in previous years, it was time to prepare for spring ploughing.

But this year, there was no need to fight for water. For the past six months, the farm next door has been as quiet as a little quail, so well-behaved and obedient.

In the spring, the sun rises slowly in the early morning, and the soft sunlight shines on the earth, bringing vitality and warmth to all things.

Spring is a time when all things come back to life. In the fields, many people are busy. The farmers are dressed simply, wearing muddy boots, holding farm tools in their hands, and turning the soil seriously. This scene is everywhere in the farm.

Spring is a good time for outings, not only the nobles and wealthy people in Chang'an City, but also Li Shimin in the palace think so.

He has been to Jingyang County in the past, but he mostly led troops to fight and passed by here.

But this time, he plans to come here to walk around, relax, see the scenery outside, and take the queen and children out for an outing.

The main thing is that there are many good things on Li Fu's farm, which makes Li Shimin very excited.

Take food for example.

After returning to the palace, he never ate the food he ate at Li Fu's house in the previous winter. Even if he ordered the Shangshi Bureau to make it according to the requirements, he couldn't make the taste of Li Fu's house.

Li Shimin could only make do with it.

After all, the inner court advocated frugality, and he couldn't be too picky about food to avoid unnecessary waste.

It's just a desire for food.

At worst, he couldn't help but come to Li Fu's farm to improve his meals.

So, taking advantage of the good time in spring, Li Shimin came with his family, and also brought Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.

Li Fu greeted them at the intersection of the farm and watched the long team in the distance marching towards this side.

Li Shimin was wearing a white dress, and the guards in the palace were also wearing ordinary clothes. At first glance, it didn't look like the emperor was going out, but it was similar to the rich people in Chang'an City going out, and they were also followed by maids and servants.

Li Shimin was in front of the carriage, riding a tall horse, and Changsun and the children were sitting in the carriage, occasionally lifting the curtains and looking outside.

The team stopped at the intersection, and Li Fu stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty."

"Outside, there is no need to be so polite. We are already in your farm, and you are still reserved." Li Shimin laughed unhappily.

Who is this dead?

"To welcome His Majesty and the Queen, the etiquette must not be abolished, otherwise if the imperial censors in the court know, they will definitely say bad things about me in front of you again." Li Fu laughed.

At the beginning, he recommended Wei Zheng to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was often criticized by Wei Zheng in the court.

But when Li Fu was in Chang'an, Wei Zheng, the old man, often said bad things about him in front of Li Shimin.

Especially when furniture was popular in Chang'an City, Wei Zheng ran to Li Shimin and said that the prince of the Tang Dynasty, a relative of the royal family, was doing a lot of business, which was a disgrace to the royal family...

He kept saying that it was not good for the royal family.

Li Shimin had no choice but to focus on one thing, listen, respond, but do nothing.

He couldn't control it, how could he control it? If he could control it, he wouldn't have taken out 130,000 strings of cash from the national treasury...

Wei Zheng was also talking about something that was not related to the topic. He had forgotten about the 130,000 strings of cash, but he had to bring it up.

Every time he mentioned it, Li Shimin's heart ached.

This time, Li Shimin did not bring Wei Zheng with him for an outing.

With such a beautiful spring and such a beautiful scenery, it would inevitably be too depressing to bring Wei Zheng with him.

"Are you still worried that the censor will say something bad about you?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "I don't think you care at all."

Li Fu rode his horse to join the team and followed the team to the manor with the guards.

There is a hill outside the manor, and at this time, the hill is also green.Li Fu had come here to have a look in advance. This place can overlook most of the scenery on the farm and is the best place for a picnic.

After choosing a place, everyone stopped.

Empress Changsun also got off the carriage with the children.

"Uncle Wang!"

When Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Lizhi saw Li Fu, they ran towards him as soon as they got off the carriage.

They were already very familiar with Li Fu, the uncle, and they were very close to each other.

After all, an uncle who gave them food, drink and money to spend, did not urge them to study their homework, recite books and write, was much more amiable than the serious father.

"Chengqian, Qingque, and little Lizhi, come, Uncle Wang hug you."

Li Fu smiled, squatted down, and took the three children into his arms.

Li Shimin looked at this happy scene and was also happy. He looked at Empress Changsun and smiled cordially.

"Li Fu, I see that you like children so much, you should get married." Li Shimin smiled and said, "You are not young anymore."

"Second brother, I am not even an adult yet." Li Fu replied with a smile.

In the Tang Dynasty, men were crowned at the age of 20, and the ceremony of crowning indicated that they had reached adulthood.

So, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Fu was still a minor.

But being a minor has nothing to do with whether or not to get married. After all, people get married early these days. There are people who get married in their teens, and there are even a lot of people who become fathers before they are 20.

Otherwise, why do people say that it is dangerous for women to give birth to children in ancient times?

I am still a child, but I am eager to become a mother. I haven't grown up yet, but I am married and have children. Isn't it dangerous to give birth to children?

So Li Fu is not in a hurry to get married, and he will not find a teenage girl as his wife. He is not a mentally ill person.

What about those who can be seen but not eaten?

When talking about this issue, Li Fu deeply understood the prime minister.

It’s not that the prime minister likes this, it’s that women in ancient times got married too early.

The prime minister is innocent, the prime minister is normal!
