Chapter 149 The Dandy Prince and His Angry Concubine Nine
"Husband, look..."
"Here, this place needs to be reinforced, otherwise the water truck will probably be washed away when it is put into the water."
Ever since the two men sent Old Wang's family to the farm, they moved to a smaller farm next door and had not returned to the palace for many days.
Old Wang's family also borrowed the palace's carriage and moved most of their belongings here one after another.
But we haven’t completely given up on the old house, after all, there is still a lot of land at home!
Old man Wang temporarily left his eldest son and his family in the old house. During the slack season, another family would come to live on the farm, and on weekdays, he would leave one family at home to take care of the landscaping.
Several uncles' families take turns, and no one suffers any loss.
Of course, when working, Lao Wang’s family would still rush over.
Fortunately, this place is not far from Qingshui Village, and it only takes about 40 minutes to walk there.
Originally, Bai Yu wanted to equip the Wang family with a few carriages, but was stopped by Lin Wanwan.
"We've already fulfilled our filial duty by arranging accommodation for them. The rest depends on their own efforts. We can't encourage their appetites."
"It's true that they have done me a favor, but I can't let you repay it all by yourself."
"Grandpa and grandma have several sons and grandchildren. It doesn't make sense for you, a grandson-in-law, to do everything!"
Lin Wanwan feels that it is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish.
She arranged a farm for the Wang family in order to make their lives better, to have more land, and to have the opportunity to change their own destiny.
But now that the Wang family can afford to buy cows and donkeys, it doesn't make sense to let a grandson-in-law take on everything.
Lin Wanwan only wants to fulfill her own filial piety and does not want to take on the filial piety of other uncles as well.
Then again, they had been here for several days, and the two had been studying the manufacture of the waterwheel.
Bai Yu also borrowed two less favored craftsmen from the Ministry of Works. With the combined efforts of the four, the prototype of the waterwheel has now been completed.
Only a few details remained to be adjusted before the waterwheel could be put to the river for its first test.
"Young Prince and Princess, the old prince and princess are here, they will be entering the manor soon."
Baihu is Bai Yu's personal bodyguard and an orphan adopted by the old prince since childhood.
Later, he found someone who was specially trained to stay with his son, take care of his daily life and protect his personal safety.
So, when the old prince and the old princess were eagerly waiting for their son and daughter-in-law to return, and were planning to go look for them in person, Baihu ran to the farm first to report to them.
"Why are my parents here? Wife, please stay here first. I'll go see what's going on."
Bai Yu put down the tools in his hand and planned to go to the front hall to greet his elderly parents.
"I'll go with you!"
Lin Wanwan put down the drawings and felt that the waterwheel was not in a hurry, so she followed Bai Yu and the two of them came to the front yard together.
"Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
As soon as Bai Yu walked to the front yard, he saw the old prince and the old princess walking in from outside.
Behind the two old men were a large group of servants, each holding something in his hands.
"Hey, Wanwan! Why are you staying in the manor and not going back?"
"Did that brat Bai Yu bully you?"
"Tell me if you have any problem. I will definitely take care of it for you!"
The old princess dodged Bai Yu's hand that was extended to help her, walked quickly to Lin Wanwan's side, took her hand and looked her over.
"You've only been out for a few days, how come you've lost weight?"
"Xiaoyu, how exactly do you take care of your wife? Didn't you give her enough food?"
Facing the old princess's stern gaze, Bai Yu stood there in a daze.
"no."
"Mom, are you my real mother or my wife's real mother? Why don't you ask if your son has lost weight?"
Bai Yu came forward with a wronged look on his face, feeling that his mother had been snatched away by his wife again.
"It's not normal for a man to be thin. I think you're doing fine now. You've become much stronger!"
Bai Yu has indeed lost some weight in the past few days, but because he works every day, he seems to be full of energy and his physique has become stronger.
Therefore, even though the old princess felt distressed, she did not say anything. Instead, she looked at her daughter-in-law with admiration.
In the past, her prince asked his son to practice martial arts, but he would not obey no matter how he was called.
He is the only child like him, and it is not easy to kill him, so we can only let him do what he wants.
But now!
After being out with his daughter-in-law for two days, his whole mental outlook seemed like a completely different person.
Even the skin on his face has become two shades darker. It seems that no one will call her son a pretty boy anymore.
Bai Yu didn't know what his mother was thinking, he just felt aggrieved.
"Dad, how come you and mom have time to come here?"
"Didn't we agree to return after we finish the water truck? This road is so bumpy, why put up with it?"
Bai Yu hit a wall with the old princess, so she wanted to turn to the old prince for comfort.
"The emperor knows about your waterwheel. He specifically asked me to come and see what it is."
Although it was the old prince's own idea and used the emperor as an excuse, the old emperor did ask the old prince what Bai Yu and his little princess were doing recently?
Didn't the old prince take this opportunity to ask the emperor for leave and take his wife out to relax?
Hehe, he doesn’t have the ability to govern the country, but he is indeed very good at being sneaky and cunning.
Even if you want to go out and have fun, you have to do it in the name of public property.
Only in this way can you avoid having your salary deducted.
"We just need to finish the waterwheel a little bit, and we're planning to go to the river to test it out this afternoon!"
"It's just right that Mom and Dad came along. They can go with us to see if there are any areas that need improvement."
When they were about to make the waterwheel, Lin Wanwan ordered the workers on the farm to dig a ditch.
Now that the waterwheel has been assembled, the ditch has also been dug.
“Okay, okay, okay!”
"It seems we've arrived just in time to witness a miracle!"
The old prince stroked his gray beard and looked at his daughter-in-law with a smile.
When he turned around and saw his silly son, he turned his face away with some disgust.
If I want to change the genes of my Bai family, it seems I have to rely on this daughter-in-law. If everyone is like that brat, I guess my lineage will end here!
The old prince pondered in his heart, his disdain for his own son evident in his words.
"Bai Hu, have your men prepare. We're going to test the waterwheel this afternoon. Have them check if there are any blockages in the ditch."
Seeing that he had been abandoned by his parents, Bai Yu had no choice but to work as a supervisor.
They really forgot about their son after having a daughter-in-law. They are such good parents to him!
