Chapter 973 Chapter 973, Complaint
Because of the arrival of the officials, Daohua had to meet some female relatives. After finishing the work, the spring plowing was over, but Daohua still took the rice to Daohua Village.
One reason was to relax, and the other was to let my son have more contact with nature and learn more about farm life.
The yield of upland rice planted last year was quite good, and the Four Seasons Grain Shop has started selling rice seeds and rice.
The sweet potatoes brought by Li Xingnian had a yield of about 15 dan per mu, which made everyone very happy.
Except for a small portion that was sent to the palace for Daohua and others to taste, the rest were all used for breeding and were planted during the spring plowing this year.
Looking at the lush sweet potato seedlings, Daohua said, "If we harvest another batch this year, we can start selling sweet potato seeds next year. Then the people will have another kind of food on their tables."
Yan Shouhou, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "Sweet potatoes are just as productive as potatoes. If these two crops are promoted, the people of Xiliang will no longer go hungry."
Daohua stood on the edge of the field, watching her son and the tenant's children running around in the field, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
After Daozi arrived at the village, Daohua never restrained him. She let him play all the country games with other children and fully release his nature.
Two days later, Daohua brought the rice back home.
On the carriage, Rice Flower smiled and asked Rice: "Is it fun in the village?"
Daozi nodded and said, "It's fun." He had an amusement park in the mansion. When he came to the farm, although there were not all kinds of toys, his fellow tenants also had many fun games.
"Mom, I want to have a dog too! Tiedan has a big dog at home, and he can ride the dog everywhere."
Daohua didn't really want her son to get a dog. If he got bit, there wasn't any rabies vaccine here. "Dogs aren't meant to be ridden. If you really like it, wait until you're a little older and ask your dad to teach you how to ride. Riding a horse is much more impressive than riding a dog."
Daozi also liked horses and was immediately distracted: "When can I ask Dad to teach me how to ride a horse?"
Daohua wanted to take the opportunity to teach her son arithmetic, so she said, "After he turns ten."
Daozi stretched out his hands and began counting on his fingers.
Daohua smiled as she watched her son count on his fingers. Usually, she would consciously teach Daozi how to count. The little guy had already learned addition and subtraction within ten.
After a while, the rice flower pouted and said, "Mom, we still have to wait a long time!"
Rice Flower said deliberately: "Not long!"
Daozi immediately retorted: "Long, I still have to wait six years before I can learn to ride a horse."
Seeing that his son was right, Daohua smiled and kissed his chubby cheek: "You are still young and can't control the horse. When you can control the horse, you will naturally be able to ride it. However, when your father is free, you can ask him to take you riding."
Daozi said reluctantly: "Okay."
Perhaps Daozi was deeply impressed by the tenant's child riding a dog. After returning to the palace, when he learned that there were two big black dogs in the palace, the little guy immediately clamored to ride the dogs.
When Daohua found out, she wanted to get two puppies for Daozi to raise, but Daozi refused and insisted on having the two big dogs.
Then I stopped going to the amusement park every day, ignored the ducks I raised, and went out to walk the dog every day.
The hunting dog has been kept in captivity for many years and has become very docile. With Bishi watching over it, Daohua is not worried that her son will be bitten, so she just lets her son do what he wants.
One day, Daohua was having a headache when she saw her son running to walk the dog right after dinner. Then she saw Xiao Yeyang coming back with the dog Xiaoyi.
"Why did you bring the dog Xiaoyi back?"
Because of his excellent tracking ability, Gou Xiaoyi had been kept in the Jinlingwei office.
Xiao Yeyang asked Defu to take the dog Xiaoyi away, and then he said after entering the inner room: "The emperor's uncle sent other people to take over the Jinling Guard."
Daohua was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Emperor, what's this?"
Xiao Yeyang was very calm: "Jinling Guard is the personal guard of the emperor's uncle who supervises all officials. Now that I am the highest official in Xiliang, it is not appropriate for me to continue to manage Jinling Guard."
Seeing Daohua remained silent, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this doesn't mean that the emperor's uncle no longer trusts me. The emperor's uncle values Xiliang, so naturally he wants to know everything about Xiliang."
"In fact, even if the Emperor's uncle didn't send anyone here, I would find an opportunity to submit a memorial to him. Now I just need to govern Xiliang well. It's not good to have too much power in my hands."
"Now that someone has taken over Jinling Guard, I can relax a lot."
Daohua: "It's good that you know what's going on. The Emperor's uncle said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. It's better to be cautious."
Xiao Yeyang hugged Daohua and said, "Don't worry, I know how to get along with the Emperor's uncle."
Daohua asked again, "By the way, how are the new officials?"
Xiao Yeyang: "It's okay, I can do the work."
Daohua: "Of the older princes of my uncle, it seems that only the Fourth Prince has not sent anyone to Xiliang. I think he is the truly smart one."
Xiao Yeyang agreed, "Yes, the eldest prince has been so active these past few years. It's more valuable that the fourth prince has been quiet and honest in his work. It's a pity that the fourth prince has an ear problem."
Daohua: "As long as the Emperor's uncle is thinking about the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince's Mansion will be much better off. I think Mo Rong is a very smart child."
Xiao Yeyang looked around the room: "Where's my son?"
Daohua rubbed his forehead, his face full of helplessness: "I went to walk the dog."
Time flies and it is May.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Yeyang hosted a banquet for all the officials of Liangdu at the palace.
Yu Shao, Shi Yan, Su Hongxin and others sat with Xiao Yeyang in the pavilion, talking and eating watermelons, grapes and strawberries on the table.
Even the few people from the prince's maternal family no longer cared about their reserve at this time.
Xiliang is not as prosperous as the capital after all. Fruits are scarce here, and even if you have money, you can't find anyone to buy them.
Looking at the not-so-good-looking way everyone ate, a hint of pride flashed across Xiao Yeyang's eyes. His Yi Yi was really amazing and could grow delicious food wherever he went.
After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had never lacked delicious food since he met Yi Yi.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, everyone heard a series of rapid "thumps". Turning around, they saw a chubby little boy running towards them with short legs, followed by many maids and old women.
Xiao Yeyang was a little surprised when he saw his son coming over. Before he could say anything, the little guy ran into the pavilion and questioned him vigorously:
"Dad, do you still care about your wife?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a brief silence in the pavilion.
Everyone was stunned at first, and after a while, they all lowered their heads silently, and many people's shoulders were shaking.
Xiao Yeyang took a deep breath and looked at his son's red cheeks from running. He looked at him with aggrieved eyes. He wanted to be angry but couldn't. He could only pretend to be serious and asked, "Why did you come here? Come and meet the uncles."
Daozi was now very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing Xiao Yeyang's stern face and pouting lips, he bowed to everyone reluctantly and said, "I wish you all the best, uncles and aunts."
Yu Shao immediately smiled and said, "So this is the young prince. As expected, a tiger father will have a dog son. You can tell at first glance that he is a rare talent."
Others followed suit.
When Daozi heard everyone praising him, his little chest puffed up and he even forgot about going to Xiao Yeyang to complain.
