Chapter 41: Horseback Riding
Rong Zhuo tapped her forehead and said, "It's easy to say. It will take at least a few years for Jiangdong to completely change its crops to polished japonica rice and implement the land-dividing system. We will not return to Jiangdong for now. They are the ones who will actually implement it. I just provided some help."
Chu Sishui knew that he had made up his mind, so she didn't know what to say. I ate some food with him while chatting and laughing.
Wang Jian only rested for three days after his wedding, and on the fourth day he brought Wang Qingqing to the courtyard.
Rong Zhuo arranged the following matters, "Wait for Vice Wang to complete the land division system here, and then cultivate the seeds in your private fields. Xiaosheng Farm is full of farmers, and the government will take the initiative to divide the land soon. Later, you can select some hardworking people to watch day and night and record the growth process of the seedlings. In Jiangzuo, I will order people to follow your notes first, and when the seedlings are successfully cultivated here, you will go to Jiangzuo first. As for your wife, if you don't want to go to Jiangzuo, just live in the county like Vice Wang's family."
Wang Jian respectfully agreed, and then wrote down some of the things and manpower needed on paper. By the time the former prefect arrived, all the documents for raising seedlings had been completed.
Rong Zhuo saw that the matter had been settled, "It depends on you how it will turn out."
Everyone bowed their heads, thanked him and left.
The next day was a sunny day. Chu Sishui remembered that she had to ride a horse today, so she dug Rong Zhuo out of the quilt early in the morning. Both of them were a little tired from raising seedlings during these days.
Until today, I finally regained my former leisure.
Rong Zhuo was dissatisfied that his princess had left the bed so early, and they did it a few more times. When they got up again, the sun had risen high in the sky.
"Look, I asked you to get up early. It must be hot now."
Rong Zhuo said as he changed into his riding clothes, "It's okay to be a little hot. Sweating is good for your body."
The two men had good looks and were dressed neatly today. As soon as they walked out of the courtyard, they were spotted by the people from Wangjia Village.
Granny Wang: "Oh, they are such a perfect match. I haven't seen such a good-looking person in many years."
Chu Sishui was rarely embarrassed, so she moved closer to Rong Zhuo and said, "Did you hear that? Everyone praised you for your good looks."
Rong Zhuo didn't reply and let the white horse kneel down. The flying sword dragged him from behind and he got on the horse.
She extended her hand and said, “It’s not very important whether a man looks good or not.”
With the support of Jin Pei, Chu Sishui stepped on the saddle, held Rong Zhuo's hand tightly and sat in front.
"Of course it's important. If you're not good-looking, I might not like you anymore."
Rong Zhuo looked at the beautiful princess, and then at her shadow that matched her very well on the ground, and suddenly felt that he was lucky to have some looks.
Chu Sishui saw the graceful lotus flowers in the lake and a bunch of people gathered there to watch. She also pointed and said, "Let's go see the lotus flowers first, then walk around the lake, and finally go to the big banyan tree."
Rong Zhuo had no objection to her decision. He exerted force under his abdomen and patted the horse with his hands to move forward.
Chu Sishui saw the way they were sitting, Rong Zhuo was holding her in his arms, "Husband, do I look like your crutch like this?"
Rong Zhuo also felt that such a beautiful cane was not only easy to use, but also very soft. "Hold the rope tightly. Even if I can ride the horse, I may not be able to take care of you if I encounter danger."
Chu Sishui looked around and said to the overly nervous Rong Zhuo, "Then hold me tight. If we have to jump off the horse, hold me and jump together. This is called living and dying together."
Rong Zhuo, "It's not time yet. Don't say unlucky words in the future."
Chu Sishui understood, "So my husband wants me to live a long life, have many children, and enjoy a long life."
Rong Zhuo didn't argue with her. His mind was on the horse. After all, the strength of the waist could not compare to the strength of the legs.
When she said that having many children means more blessings, he still lowered his head and looked a few times.
They have been married for more than half a year, and her menstruation is normal. According to the past, she would have her period in a few days.
Ever since he broke his leg, in addition to criticizing whether he is a capable man, more people are curious about his fertility.
In the past, he didn't care about this, thinking that it would be fine for her to die alone, but now he has concerns in his heart. He also doesn't want her to be criticized for marrying a disabled prince and not even having a child. If he dies first, what should she do?
Jiangdong's wealth can ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing, but she has no one in her family, so what if she is bullied?
After thinking about it for a while, he became a little worried. There had been no movement for half a year. Could it be that he really didn't have that ability? …
Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking again, Chu Sishui thought that maybe what happened just now had touched him, so she motioned Fei Jian and Jin Pei to ride forward, "Hey, Xiao Yueliang. I have something to tell you."
Rong Zhuo stopped his horse and was standing next to a lotus pond. Chu Sishui bent down, picked a lotus flower that had not yet bloomed, and pinned it next to his ear.
Rong Zhuo's heartbeat was a little faster at this time, "What's the matter?"
Chu Sishui pursed her lips and leaned close to his ear, "Actually, I have been taking contraceptive drugs. I think Your Highness is not ready yet."
Rong Zhuo's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and he looked down at her, "Is that medicine harmful to your health? Why didn't you tell me and just took it without authorization?"
Chu Sishui held his hand and said, "It won't hurt your body. I only eat it once or twice occasionally. When I have sex with you, I always choose the right time."
The medicine from the Space Spirit Spring is indeed harmless to the body.
Rong Zhuo didn't know what to say at this moment. He was happy and worried at the same time. He scolded her because of the mixed feelings. "Don't take the medicine anymore in the future. I can control myself. And what about you calculating the time accurately?"
Chu Sishui said, "Generally speaking, women cannot get pregnant for a few days before and after their menstrual period."
Rong Zhuo frowned, "Which days are you on?"
Chu Sishui lowered his head, "14th to 20th."
No wonder, Rong Zhuo now understood why the princess was sometimes so enthusiastic, even seductive.
Chu Sishui said, "Well, it's not that I don't want to get pregnant at all, but I was thinking that you might be busy with something. It would not be good to get pregnant now."
Rong Zhuo, "Don't use this excuse to evade me."
Chu Sishui laughed and said, "Actually, I think it would be better to have the child a few years later."
Rong Zhuo was puzzled, "Why?"
Chu Sishui, "I don't know if my husband really loves me, or if being with me is new to him. You said you don't want to take concubines, but how can you trust a man? Maybe after your leg heals, you will feel that your life has been hard. Everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme. It is possible that you will marry dozens of women at once. If I have a child by then, I may have to deal with your other concubines to win your favor. I am tired just thinking about that."
Rong Zhuo was a little annoyed when he heard this. "In your heart, I am such a man. What I say and do are not counted. I said I won't take a concubine and I won't. This has nothing to do with my bad legs. As for favoring you, it has nothing to do with whether you have children or not. What I want is you, and you alone."
"You don't want to have children because you're afraid that I'll change my mind in the future. If you don't have children, you can just leave. You think about opening a new store every day, isn't it to prepare for the future?"
