The maidservant said, "I don't know the details, but the princess forgot to tell me something, so she asked me to come here specifically. She told you to bring the cotton and wheat planting records when you go tomorrow morning, and also bring some wheat and cotton that you've planted this year, and don't forget to bring the seeds."
Erlaizi and Dafang were speechless and nodded blankly. After the matter was explained, the maid and the messenger left.
Only Erlaizi and Dafang were left staring at each other, at a loss.
Er Laizi swallowed his saliva and said, "Dafang, I am not dreaming."
Dafang kicked him and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"pain!"
It seemed to be true. The two of them stood there to calm down and went to prepare the booklets and wheat and cotton.
Although they didn't understand what these were for, they were afraid that they would be beheaded if they didn't take enough, so they took everything at once, whether it was a previously discarded booklet or a newly written one, and even some old papers from a long time ago. There was also a record of ginger seeds next to it, and they just took everything with them.
Cotton, wheat and their seeds were each packed in a large bag.
Because there were two kinds of wheat growing well, they were packed into two large bags and marked with words on them.
Because we are always experimenting with seeds, we need to keep records. Dafang is sometimes busy taking care of the children, so Erlaizi has to write it himself sometimes. For this reason, he has learned to write a lot of words recently. He is much better at arithmetic and can use an abacus. Although his movements are a little slow, at least he can do it.
After everything was prepared, I started choosing clothes to wear when I went to meet the emperor tomorrow.
As a result, they searched through all the cabinets in the house but couldn't find a suitable piece of clothing. Dafang was lucky because Erlaizi gave her a set of clothes on her birthday. The clothes were brand new and could be worn. But Erlaizi was not so lucky.
Because he was busy farming every day, he had no time to take care of himself. He couldn't wear new clothes anyway, so the only two sets of clothes he had were either torn or dirty and could not be washed clean.
At this time, Dafang's mother had prepared dinner and came over with Dafu, asking them to eat first and then think of a solution after they finished eating.
I have been busy all afternoon and I am really hungry. My stomach is start to growl. In the world, eating is the most important thing.
Er Laizi picked up the bowl and ate the rice in big mouthfuls. He swallowed it down without even tasting it and almost choked.
Dafang patted him on the back and said, "There's no point in being anxious. What if you choke yourself before anything happens? Don't panic! Besides, we're going with Tuantuan. She's here. We just need to listen to her and follow her instructions. It's okay."
These words immediately calmed Erlaizi's heart. After all, why were they so anxious? He was just an ordinary citizen and had done nothing wrong. He just had to behave himself tomorrow.
Dafang said, "There's a new set of clothes in the closet. You can wear that."
"What clothes? Why don't I know?"
Dafang said, "Your birthday is coming up soon. A few days ago, I went shopping and bought you a new set of clothes. I was thinking of giving it to you on your birthday. You're going to see the emperor tomorrow, so you can wear it first."
Er Laizi was almost in tears, holding Dafang's hand, "Wife, you are so good. What would I do without you?"
He looks like a child who has never grown up.
When Dafang Niang saw this scene, she took Dafu out to watch the moon as usual.
Dafang gently stroked his head and said, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side."
Before dawn the next day, everyone in the family except Dafu got up and started working, and Dafang made breakfast for the two of them.
The two of them took a shower, changed into new clothes, and tied their hair up. They tidied themselves up a bit. Although they didn't look very shiny and bright, they were at least clean, tidy and neat.
Then after finishing breakfast, he rinsed his mouth specifically for fear that there would be a bad taste in his mouth, and he would be blamed for causing trouble to the group leader.
Then we ordered some things, and when everything was ready, we took a cart to the city. There were still stars in the sky at that time.
There was almost no one in the city. At most, a few small vendors delivering goods could be seen driving all the way to the gate of the prince's mansion. It was just dawn at this time.
Jiang Tuantuan hasn't gotten up yet.
The servant at the gate of the mansion was still half asleep. Er Laizi knocked on the door and the servant was awakened. He wondered who it was that was knocking on the door so early in the morning.
He rubbed his eyes, opened the door, and took a closer look. It was Er Laizi. He scratched his head and asked, "Why are you here so early? It's not even daybreak yet."
The second beggar said, "I'm afraid I'll be late, so I got up early to prepare."
The servant welcomed them in with a yawn and sent someone to inform Jiang Tuantuan.
Jiang Tuantuan opened her eyes when she heard someone talking at the door. Li Jingchen had already washed his face. Looking at the sleepy Jiang Tuantuan, Li Jingchen took the initiative to walk out and asked, "What happened?"
The servant said, "Here comes the second beggar."
Li Jingchen looked up at the sky. He couldn't help but sigh that he was too diligent and had rushed over from outside the city at daybreak.
"Let them come in and wait, and then prepare some breakfast for them."
"yes."
After giving the order, he went back to the room and told Jiang Tuantuan to get up. "Tuantuan, Erlaizi and the others are here, you should get up quickly."
I was lying in bed, planning to sleep a little longer, but when I heard this, I jumped up. "What? This is too early! It's already daybreak outside."
After saying this, he quickly got up, dressed, washed his face, and went out of the yard to meet the two beggars.
"Er Laizi, Dafang, why are you here so early?"
Dafang said, "I came here early because I was afraid of being late and causing delays."
"Okay, so you guys have had breakfast."
“I have.”
"Then you should eat more. You don't know how long you will stay in the palace. Don't starve."
"good."
Breakfast was being prepared in the kitchen while Jiang Tuantuan went to wash and dress up. After all, she was going to meet the emperor, so it would be better to look a little more formal.
Li Jingchen took Jiang An, Jiang Li and Yu Bao, who was joining in the fun, to the yard to practice boxing and exercise.
After the meal was ready and Jiang Tuantuan had packed up, everyone finished eating and prepared to take the carriage to the palace.
Erlaizi took all the things off the cart. Jiang Tuantuan looked at the several large bags of things and was a little surprised that he brought so many things. But it was also good, as it was better to bring more than less.
I also saw Dafang holding a bag of record books in her hand, and I felt that these two people were simple and cute.
The three of them got on the carriage, put their things on it, and set off for the palace.
When she arrived at the palace gate, she showed the princess's token and was quickly let in.
The second beggar asked, "Boss, can I lift the curtain and see what's going on inside the palace?"
"Of course you can, you can watch it if you want."
After swallowing his saliva, Er Laizi opened the curtain. Inside was red walls and green tiles, which looked very majestic and beautiful.
