Chapter 37 Spring Plowing (1)
Two days passed in a flash.
Spring plowing ceremony is a big event. Jiang Shaohua deliberately got up early today, went to the martial arts training ground, practiced for half an hour, shot three pots of arrows, then took a shower, made up and changed clothes.
Comb up her long hair, put on a beaded crown, and put on the princess uniform.
The red gold bead crown is inlaid with dozens of huge eastern beads, interspersed with red and sapphires. The workmanship is extremely exquisite. The bright yellow princess dress is embroidered with gold threads with a black bird pattern, which is complicated, thick and extremely gorgeous.
A ten-year-old girl with a childish face, so dressed in such a way that it actually looks a bit heavy. However, Jiang Shaohua was dignified and full of momentum, and he completely held up.
The eyes are so bright and dazzling that people dare not look directly at them.
Chen Zhuo, Feng Wenming and all the subordinate officials put on their official uniforms, and they all looked respectful. Song Yuan also wore the official uniform of a military general and led a group of personal guards to accompany him.
The guards are all tall and strong, and among them is a young boy who is about the same size as the princess, who is particularly eye-catching.
Chen Zhuo had already known about Cui Du from the princess. Today was the first time he saw him, and he glanced over to take a look.
His hair is short and strange, but his appearance is extremely handsome. His eyes were clear and magnanimous.
I don’t know what kind of temperament I have, but the first impression I gave was pretty good.
“I heard that the workshop was busy for two days and two nights and made a new type of shaft plow.” Chen Zhuo looked away and said with a smile: “Today’s spring plowing ceremony, does the princess want to try it out?”
< br> During the two days of discussions in the study room, Shen Mu did not show up and was busy working in the workshop. Others didn't know what was going on, but Chen Zhuo knew it.
Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly: "Yes. If the new shaft plow is light and easy to use, it can be widely used."
Anything that is beneficial to farming is a big deal.
Chen Zhuo perked up and laughed in a low voice: "Shen Gongzheng has made a great contribution this time."
The one who really made a great contribution was Cui Du who presented the drawings.
In front of everyone, Jiang Shaohua didn't say much, only smiled slightly.
At this moment, Lu Junma, who had been "sick" for several days, arrived.
Lu Xuan made a fool of himself in public a few days ago, and has been claiming to be ill since then. Jiang Shaohua sent people to greet him and deliver medicine every day. Although he showed no lack of etiquette, he never visited the patient in person.
After many days, the father and daughter finally met again. Their eyes met, each with complicated emotions... At least, Lu Xuan's mood was very complicated.
Before the father was the guide for the son, there was the king who was the guide for the minister.
As a biological father, he could not stand upright in front of his daughter because her surname was Jiang and she was the princess of Nanyang. He was too eager before and showed his ambition early.
Jiang Shaohua was raised by the King of Nanyang, and he has a sharpness that belies his age. Even though she is underage, she is still a ferocious beast. Anyone who wants to get involved in her territory will show her sharp claws and fangs. It makes people's heads bleed.
He was wrong.
The mistake is to underestimate the opponent and the mistake is to be self-righteous.
From today on, he must put away his arrogant self-confidence, be patient and obedient, and wait for the opportunity. He could survive the death of his father-in-law, King Nanyang, and he could survive until his daughter got married.
"I have been ill for several days and have recovered." Lu Xuan asked warmly: "Today I want to participate in the spring plowing ceremony with the princess. Please allow the princess to agree."
Jiang Shaohua seems to have forgotten He smiled and nodded: "If you want to go, let's go together!"
Lu Xuan gratefully thanked the princess for her kindness, and then stood at the head of the subordinate officials knowingly.
With such a low posture, even Chen Zhuo couldn't help but sigh secretly. This Lu Xuan has top-notch endurance skills and should not be underestimated.
Chen Zhuo asked the princess with his eyes, if he would like to ask Lord Lu to stand closer?
Jiang Shaohua's eyes flashed slightly, noncommittal.
Chen Zhuo understood and looked back.
What the princess is willing to give is this little bit of dignity. Lu Junma, let it be your own fault! Sunken wood arrived the latest. However, no one picks out the dead wood. Shen Mu stayed up for two nights without sleeping, his dark and thin face was full of exhaustion and his eyes were red.
Jiang Shaohua was very considerate of his ministers: "Shen Gongzheng has stayed up for two days and two nights without sleeping, so he must be very tired. Let's take a rest on the carriage later."
The highlight of the Spring Plowing Ceremony is plowing the fields, and every minister has to go to the fields today. Sunken wood is no exception. It was the princess's grace to be able to rest for a while on the carriage.
Chen Mu thanked him gratefully.
Eunuch Zhao followed closely. Jiang Shaohua greeted him with a smile.
Everyone had arrived, and Jiang Shaohua was the first to step out of the main entrance of the palace. All the officials and military generals followed with great momentum.
Cui Du followed Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao and stood very close to the princess. When he raised his head, he could see the slender figure of the girl.
This battle, this momentum, is so majestic!
……
The more majestic thing is yet to come.
The carriage turned out of the palace and entered the spacious street.
This bustling street was cleaned up in advance, and pedestrians and people were on both sides of the street. As soon as the princess's motorcade appeared, the people cheered loudly.
“The princess is a thousand years old!”
“God bless Nanyang, God bless the princess!”
Cui Du listened to the thunderous shouts in his ears, his blood surged, and he became inexplicably excited. He almost raised his arms and shouted.
Jiang Shaohua sat in the carriage, listening to the noise outside the carriage, and the long-lost excitement surged into his heart.
This is Nanyang County, and the people here are her people. This is her home, her roots. In this life, she will never abandon her people again.
The people love her because of her grandfather's legacy. My grandfather served as the king of Nanyang for decades, with generous government orders and benevolent people. Now that her grandfather has been gone for a year, the people's admiration and love for her grandfather have been transferred to her.
She ordered Yinzhu Tubai to pull up the car curtains on both sides.
After the fine bamboo curtain was pulled up, Jiang Shaohua turned his head, waved and smiled at the people. The cheers of the people became even more fervent.
Song Yuan, riding a horse, looked around with vigilant eyes. All the guards cheered up and opened their eyes wide. It is no exaggeration to say that not even a fly can fly close.
Chen Zhuo and Feng Wenming were riding in the same carriage. Watching this scene, Chen Zhuo whispered happily: "The princess, like the prince, cherishes the people."
Feng Wenming took a look, and then He laughed softly and said: "When the prince went on tour in the past, the people's voice was not so loud."
Chen Zhuo laughed dumbly.
Everyone cherishes weakness.
The princess is young and beautiful, and the people may be less awe-stricken, but more intimate with her.
An hour later, we arrived at the farm.
The fields are all outside the city, with the exception of this farm. Not only is it located inside the city, its location is also very good. The grain grown every year is specially supplied to the palace. The spring plowing ceremony of Nanyang County is also held here every year.
After Cui Du entered the farm, his eyes were almost exhausted.
There is fertile farmland as far as the eye can see!
This is the beauty that only appears in his dreams!
The princess said that she would reward him with a piece of fertile land, could it be this place? !
He is willing to be a cow or a horse and work for her for the rest of his life!
“What’s the silly fun?” Meng Sanbao pulled Cui Du in a daze: “If the princess wants to change clothes and go to the fields, we all have to follow him. Go quickly!”
