Chapter 209 King Miao is coming
Bai Yuwei asked the guard for a horse and left without looking back.
Xun Yu, who was behind, hurriedly got off his carriage, walked to Bai Qingchen's carriage, and asked worriedly: "Young Master Bai, what happened? Where do you plan to go, Miss Bai?"
Bai Qingchen sighed helplessly: "She had a fight with me and went to see my grandfather."
Xun Yu did not immediately inquire about King Miao's visit to the capital, but said with concern: "I will catch up and have a look. Don't worry, Young Master Bai, I will bring Miss Bai back to the Prime Minister's Mansion safely."
Bai Qingchen thought that his sister was angry and it would be better for Xun Yu to come forward, so he said to Xun Yu, "Thank you, Prince Xun."
Xun Yu also asked for a horse and quickly caught up with Bai Yuwei.
"Miss Bai!"
Bai Yuwei snorted coldly: "You're here to accuse me too, right?"
Xun Yu smiled: "Miss Bai misunderstood. I just wanted to accompany you to relax. It's my fault that I didn't find out clearly about Meng Xiaojiu's abilities, so that she deceived Miss Bai."
Bai Yuwei slowed down her horse and walked slowly on the street: "What you said still sounds like a sentence! I heard that she was not good at archery, so I shot a few arrows at random. Let's do it again. I will never lose to her!"
Xun Yu said warmly: "I believe Miss Bai. Miss Bai can't do it if she can't do it. And she is obviously good at archery, but she lies that she doesn't know how to do it. Whoever has a valuable character will judge her at first sight."
"I like to hear what you say!" Bai Yuwei was very happy to be coaxed, "I will take you to find my grandfather!"
Xun Yu looked surprised: "Has King Miao entered Beijing?"
Bai Yuwei smiled: "Not yet, but I know where he is! I want to give him a surprise! My grandfather loves me the most. He will be very happy to see me!"
Xun Yu suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked hesitantly: "I wonder if the Prime Minister's Mansion has the honor to invite King Miao to stay."
Bai Yuwei said confidently: "My grandfather lives wherever my brother and I are! However, my grandfather doesn't like making noise."
Xun Yu immediately said: "Don't worry, Miss Bai. When King Miao is here, the Prime Minister's Mansion will never entertain guests, and will never let anyone disturb King Miao's purity. I will also have the theater troupe dismissed immediately."
Bai Yuwei nodded: "This couldn't be better!"
Xun Yu asked: "I wonder if King Miao has other preferences?"
"I think about it again, yes, my grandfather likes..."
Bai Yuwei told Xun Yu a lot about King Miao's likes and taboos.
Xun Yu wrote them down one by one, and when passing by his own shop, he immediately asked his waiter to take the news back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, preparing to welcome King Miao grandly.

The red sun is scorching, and the farmland, sea and sky are steaming with clouds in the afternoon.
The young emperor, who had been dragged by Lu Yuan to do farm work all morning, turned into a dog due to the miserable heat. He sat slumped on the field ridge without any image, breathing heavily.
Lu Yuan walked towards him holding a cold melon.
Lu Yuan changed out of his brocade clothes on the carriage and wore a farmer's linen shorts, revealing his strong and powerful arms. His trouser legs were rolled up high, and he wore a pair of rough straw sandals.
He really doesn't look like an official, he just looks like someone digging in the field.
"Isn't this possible?"
Lu Yuan looked at Zong Zhengxi with a half-smile, "There are still two acres of melon fields over there waiting to be picked."
Zong Zhengxi was about to cry: "I can't pick it anymore! Do you want to exhaust me to death so that you can seize my country? Give it to you! Give it all to you!"
Lu Yuan slapped him on the forehead: "You're a worthless boy!"
Zong Zhengxi roared aggrievedly: "You have mud on your hands!"
Lu Yan lowered his head and looked at his hands: "Well, it does."
So she rubbed it on his face and body several times.
Zong Zhengxi: “…”
The two of them shared a cold melon.
The cold melon was freshly picked from the ground, it was hot, and it had not been cut into delicate fruit plates. Zong Zhengxi just held it and gnawed it, without any image.
But for some reason, he felt that this cold melon was more delicious than the one served iced in the palace.
Lu Yuan smiled faintly: "The melon is the same melon, but your Majesty understands its value and cherishes it a little more when eating it, so it tastes more delicious."
Zong Zhengxi seemed to realize something, and murmured: "Do I treat you the same way?"
Lu Yuan: "What did your Majesty say?"
"It's nothing!" Zong Zhengxi's eyes panicked and he buried his head in his mouth, "Eat your melon!"
The two of them were eating melon to relieve the heat when a noise came from not far away.
"Old Zhengtou, didn't you say someone would bring us a new plow today? What time is it? Where's the plow?"
"Yes, Lao Zhengtou, everyone is waiting. You are not lying to us, are you?"
The old farmer, who was called Lao Zhengtou, said anxiously: "That's what the young master said. How do I know that he agreed but didn't send it away? Could it be that it's still early and we have to wait?"
An aunt said loudly: "Wait until it gets dark! Who goes to plow the fields after dark?"
Zong Zhengxi was confused: "What pear? Have you eaten any pears already?"
Aren’t pears only available in autumn and winter?
Lu Yuan said: "It's an iron plow, a kind of agricultural tool."
After he finished speaking, he gently placed half of the cold melon in his hand on the field ridge and walked towards the farmers.
Zong Zhengxi was not very good at dealing with farmers, so he only watched from afar.
I don't know what Lu Yuan said to them. He only heard about blacksmiths and shovels.
Then he saw the old farmer named Lao Zhengtou giving Lu Yuan a shovel. Lu Yuan pulled out the shovel, compared it with a farm tool, shook his head, and asked Yu Zichuan to get a piece of iron from the carriage. .
Zong Zhengxi didn't know what the iron piece was originally used for, but in Lu Yuan's hands, it seemed to have a variety of uses.
Lu Yuan banged on the iron piece.
Zong Zhengxi was stunned: "Can you also blacksmith?"
Finally, Lu Yuan placed the beaten iron pieces on the farm tools, brought in the cattle, and plowed two acres of land in one go.
“So this is plowing.”
Zong Zhengxi felt that he had learned a lot today. But at the same time, he was also more curious about Lu Yuan: "How come you can do everything?"
"Young man, are you married?"
An aunt asked Lu Yuan with bright eyes.
Zong Zhengxi hurriedly ran over with the uneaten cold melon: "Hey, hey, hey! This is not allowed!"
-
This year's capital is hotter than in previous years, and Bai Yuwei is getting hotter.
Xun Yu hired the most luxurious and spacious carriage at the carriage shop, and spent a lot of money to buy a large basin of ice cubes to put in the carriage to relieve Bai Yuwei from the heat. He also hired a maid to fan Bai Yuwei along the way.
Bai Yuwei cooled down and fell asleep leaning on the carriage.
Halfway through, they met an old farmer sitting on the roadside.
The old farmer seemed to be extremely hot. He fanned himself with a straw hat and waved to Xun Yu and his group.
The driver was a kind-hearted person and went down to ask the old farmer what was going on.
The old farmer said sadly: "It's too hot. I can't walk. Can you give me a ride?"
Xun Yu threw a silver coin from the carriage.

The coachman understood what the guest meant. He was just a driver and did not dare to make decisions for the guest, so he had to drive the carriage away.
Sunset.
Zong Zhengxi finally finished all the farm work arranged by Lu Yuan and got into the carriage crying.
I’m so tired, so tired, so tired!
On the way back, they also met the old farmer.
Lu Yuan asked Yu Zichuan to ask what was going on.
Yu Zichuan said: "He said he couldn't walk anymore and wanted us to give him a lift."
Lu Yuan said: "Let him come up."
After giving the instructions, he stared directly at Zong Zhengxi who was crying and out of breath.
Zong Zhengxi said aggrievedly: "What are you looking at? Can't you just cry? Who asked you to torture me like this?"
Lu Yuan said speechlessly: "The carriage is small, I want you to make some room for others."
Zong Zhengxi stamped his foot hard and moved to the side while crying.
That kick was his last act of stubbornness as the emperor!
After the old farmer got on the carriage, he sat down on the bench and occupied most of the bench.
Zong Zhengxi was stunned by the crowd.
Are you so confident when riding a carriage nowadays?
Fortunately, he was a good-tempered emperor. If it had been his royal brothers, they would have dragged this man out and executed him long ago.
No, his royal brothers would never let a dirty old farmer get on their carriage.
Lu Yan looked the old farmer up and down and asked, "Old man, where are you going?"
The old farmer asked: "Ah, where are you going?"
Lu Yuan said: "Let's go back to the capital. Wherever you go, we will see you off."
But the old farmer always answered the question incorrectly and pointed at Zong Zhengxi: "Is this your brother?"
Zong Zhengxi turned around and said: "I, I am not! I don't have a brother like him!"
The old farmer touched his stomach: "I'm hungry."
Lu Yuan glanced at the snacks and tea on the table: "Whatever."
"Then I'm welcome!"
The old farmer grabbed the teapot and started drinking.
Zong Zhengxi has never seen anyone eat so boldly, because he is the emperor, and no one dares to lose etiquette in front of him.
He swallowed.
After a long day of work, he was also hungry.
However, the last piece of snack quickly entered the old farmer's stomach.
Zong Zhengxi wanted to cry even more.
The old farmer looked at the pitiful Zong Zhengxi, touched his round belly, and said to Lu Yuan: "Oops, I accidentally finished your brother's food. How about this? When we get to the capital, I will treat you and take you to have a nice meal." !”
Zong Zhengxi choked up and said, "Food in the capital is very expensive."
After going out for a trip, he realized that it was difficult for ordinary people to make money. Even if this old farmer worked for a whole year, he might not be able to earn a meal in a restaurant.
The old farmer took out a white silver ingot from his arms: "Just now, a young man gave me an ingot of silver. Do you think he is a good person?"
The sun sets in the west.
Xun Yu's carriage arrived at the inn station Bai Yuwei mentioned.
"What are you talking about? My grandfather is gone? He entered the capital alone?"
Bai Yuwei looked at the Miao guards in the station in disbelief.
The captain of the guard asked in confusion: "Miss Yuwei, haven't you met her?"
There is only one official road from the inn to the capital, and the time is right.
Bai Yuwei frowned and said, "No! Prince Xun, did you see my grandfather on the way?"
Xun Yu recalled that on the way, he only saw an old farmer holding a straw hat.
His expression changed: "Could it be—"
