Zhen Guo Princess GL

Chapter 390 Immortals

I kept silent and didn't answer Li Dan's words, and Li Dan didn't urge me either. The two of us relaxed the reins and let the horse walk casually. Unknowingly, we went off the main road, far away from the fertile fields of the dignitaries in the suburbs, and gradually came to the middle fields of the common people. The gathering place.I was with Li Dan, but it reminded me of Li Sheng for no reason. That year's travel in Luozhong was the first time I came into contact with the lives of the people of this era. That time I naively and stubbornly wanted to rescue Those slaves did not realize until later that in the current era, it is difficult to distinguish which is worse, being a nobleman's servant or being a poor and good citizen—and this is still the age of peace.

After all, Li Dan is young, so he turned his head from side to side very curiously, looking at the nearby farmland, I suddenly had a heart to teach, and said with a smile: "Sanlang, you know, what is the difference between the fields here and what you saw just now?"

When Li Dan heard asking him, he sat upright on his horse, stared carefully at the farmers in the field, and said, "There are few cows and donkeys here, but there are many people, the plows are old, and there are many ridges in the fields. He and his children are also nearby. And just now, there was mostly a big field, and most of the people holding iron plows and pulling oxen in it were adults, and there were also millers."

I nodded and smiled: "The fields over there are mostly the fields of high-ranking officials. If you see a piece of land that is inseparable, it is the land of a family or a farm. All of them are small-scale, probably because there are many slaves and maidservants in the rich family, so they hire men. On cultivated land, women and children enter the house as children, which is relatively clear. The tools, oxen and horses, and the milling warehouse are both new and well-prepared. The people in Guizhou, often a family of brothers, only get one cow and one plow, and they take turns to cultivate. There is no one else, women weaving and cooking at home, and children follow the fields to learn how to farm, or deliver water, food, and do trivial things within their capabilities. These people's fields are not large, and each household is clearly marked , there are probably some human relationships involved, so there are twists and turns between the ridges—it’s their breakfast time, you can go with me to see what they eat.” Don’t wait for people to come and shout—all the villagers and men are naked On the upper body, wearing a short-nosed hakama, tied hair and feet, his shape is very indecent, and it is not suitable for women to look at it. Since he rode his horse forward, Li Dan followed me, but he didn't know where he was. Those few people who were sitting in the ridge were frightened to stand up, shrink back and bow, and bend over to call "Xianggong"; Li Dan was wearing a purple court dress again, with a lot of hanging down, stepped on the soil after dismounting, and spilled a hem of his clothes. I stomped my feet and came to see me at a loss. I shook my head and smiled at him immediately, and ordered my followers to give those villagers a penny in exchange for their meals. The horse, riding a horse, was beside me. When I stretched my head to look, I saw a big black bowl—he still recognized it as wheat rice—with a handful of wild oysters next to it, which was also black. Once there was any movement, I thought he should dislike him, but he was okay. There was a bamboo tube next to him, so I took it over and opened it myself. It was just a tube of well water, unboiled, with some turbid smell, waiting for someone to take it I returned the wheat rice, bamboo tubes, etc. to the villagers, and rode my horse a few feet away from me, and asked the servants to lead the villagers to come forward and ask: "How many mouthfuls of rice is this? Is this how you usually eat?"

The local accent was hard to understand, and several people flinched again. After asking for a while, they came back and said to me: "A family of six, eat a catty of wheat rice and four taels of spinach a day, Shuo Wang Ya Ji, add half a catty of white rice, and a tail of live food. fish."

I laughed: "It's more than that—the older one wears spring and summer clothes every year, and the younger one wears the older one's clothes every two years. When the daughter gets married, one chicken, one hanging meat, one bucket of rice, two bolts of silk, You can hold a small banquet, and this is a family near the capital of God, who grants the land in full."

Li Dan tilted his head and said, "It's really pitiful. I'll reward them with more money."

I laughed and said: "No matter how much money you give, you can only help this household. The world is so human, how can you get it? Besides, what is the use of giving money alone?"

Li Dan said: "If I see this family, I will help a group first, and I will not lose much." He asked to collect money from people, and then collected a lot of money to come out. The villagers are very grateful , Many people nearby also gathered and stared, suddenly fearful, whispered to me: "Let's go quickly, let people see, think I'm doing a great favor, in case Auntie knows..."

I nodded, turned back to the main road with him, and said as we walked: "What do you think about the matter just now?"

Li Dan thought I was going to test him again, so he hurriedly said: "Little people in Shengdou have one meal, one food, one clothes and one house. If this is the case, if you continue to levy violently, you will have no way out. Kong Shengyun: Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger. Viewing the people , isn't it so?"

I said: "I'm not trying to test your knowledge, and I'm not A Niang, you don't have to be like this." Seeing him puzzled, he smiled and said: "Villagers don't often see noble people in the city, Tsing Yi and Lv Yi are already big men, the two of us It's common sense to go down wearing purple, without bringing a few followers, and gather around to watch."

Li Dan shyly said: "It's... my shortcoming to be afraid of such a small matter."

I shook my head and looked at him: "It's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. As the heir of the emperor, your every move attracts the attention of the world, and you are cautious in your actions. It's not an exaggeration. You didn't do anything wrong just now. The villagers who have no power are so restrained and cautious in matters, why are they so careless when it comes to the treasures?"

Li Dan looked at me moved, I didn't wait for him to react, and asked with a light smile: "How long have you been dating, sister-in-law? What have you always told me?"

Seeing the shock, Li Danyi muttered: "There have always been contacts. My sister-in-law has been in charge of the palace for so many years, adding clothes in four seasons, offering sacrifices in seasons, sometimes using the time, or promoting the Buddha's practice, breast-feeding and nursing, palace servants, etc. I have more to do with her arrangements... The bride is also persuaded by her for a while. I met two eunuchs before, who were very good at kicking and kicking, and a woman from Wu... she sang softly and very interestingly, all of which were entrusted to her. .”

I should have thought about it earlier, but it is not easy to say anything to Li Dan at this moment, so I nodded calmly and told Li Dan: "I have been out for so long, Auntie must ask, if you ask, tell the truth and I will take you to see the village. People's wheat and rice fields."

Li Dan looked at me helplessly: "Aren't sisters going to report to A Niang with me? - A Niang sent the two of us out. If I go back alone, I'm afraid it will be disrespectful."

In fact, I was so confused that I wished I could fly to A Huan's side and ask about these things carefully, but Li Dan's words were reasonable, after thinking about it, he forced a smile and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you." Seeing that the city gate was approaching, Li Dan saw my depression and said to me through the car window: "Sister, look inside the capital. When I came out with my mother a few years ago, there were far fewer shops on both sides of the road than there are now." , It’s different now, there are clothes sellers and drink sellers everywhere, and I heard that even the walls of the squares have been quietly dug open by them to do business, which shows that the country is still getting more and more prosperous.”

Hearing what he said, I looked around appreciatively, and the first thing I saw was a small branch of "Fengtian Clothing Bureau". Taste is fashionable, ladies and gentlemen believe in it, [-]% off benefits, no waiting when it is out of date", I asked people to ask, it turned out that this shop was only for the business of villagers at the gate of the city, and sold the old clothes of last year at a discount, and there were many shops next to it. , is also following the trend of selling ready-made clothes, and there are endless customers at the door of several houses. Without realizing it, he smiled and said to Li Dan: "We have caught up with the good times." Rui, or any of the Li family's children, must be somewhat displeased—but he didn't show any embarrassment, and said naturally: "Of course it's great to have A Niang."

I suddenly understood why Ah Huan said these things to him, and smiled softly: "Saburo, do you still remember the stories I told you about the overseas countries?"

After all, Li Dan is a teenager at heart, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously: "Remember, there is a country of Fa, a country of Eagles, and a country of the United States. The people there all look like big cannibals, and they can make things worse than those made by Zhuge Wuhou. More powerful wooden cows and horses, and unsinkable iron boats. Nephew Shouli and Nephew Qianli like these stories the most."

I laughed: "You don't like these stories?"

He stroked his mustache at the corner of his mouth: "Of course I like it too. But I like the world that my sister said better—there is a sky beyond the sky, and there is a sea outside the sea, not just this small side——Sister will tell me about that What about the story of a man setting out on a boat? What kind of boat did he use? Did he go farther than the Japanese and the big cannibals? Those Tai students said that it was extremely dangerous for them to come here, and they had to divide many boats to prevent one from sinking. Everyone is gone, and the risk at sea can be described as a life of ten deaths. Even so, that person is still taking his people around the world, he can be called a strong man—but I don’t know if he has come to pay his respects or not?”

I looked into the distance and said softly: "Of course not now. But after a long time, it will always come." Not only will it come, but it will also bring those wooden cows and horses that are more powerful than Zhuge Wuhou, the tin box that can walk, and will come. Flying machines, and machine guns and cannons that can kill.

Li Dan turned his head to look at me seriously, and said for a long time: "Sister, sister-in-law said that you can see the gods, isn't it...really? These stories...are the gods also told you?"

I closed my eyes, and said calmly: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I am still weak and weak. My father saw his back when I was young, and my husband and son-in-law died soon. I have been a widow to this day, and I have no children. How could you let me go so far?"
