Chapter 1030, Change
"Mom, are you going out?"
When Daozi saw Daohua wearing a comfortable dress, his eyes lit up and he quickly ran to hug her: "Are you going to Daoxiang Village again? I want to go too."
This is the third time Mom has gone out since my younger brother and sister turned one year old.
Daohua shook her head and refused: "No, you still have to go to the academy for classes."
Daozi pouted: "Then I won't go today."
Daohua looked at Daozi seriously and said, "You must finish what you started. What did you promise me and your father when you wanted to go to the academy?"
Daozi was discouraged, thought for a moment, and then said, "What will happen to your brothers and sisters if you go out?"
Daohua smiled and said, "Don't we still have the old ancestor watching over us? Besides, your father is on his day off today, so he will help watch over us too."
Seeing the dejected look on Rice Flower's face, she smiled and explained, "The canal over at Daoxiang Village was dug last year, and this year we're starting to try out the newly cultivated rice. Mother needs to go over more often to see the actual situation."
Daozi nodded: "Okay, but next time you go to Daoxiang Village, you must take me with you." He quite liked to go to the farm to play, and he wondered if the piglets he raised last year were still there?
Daohua: "Next time we go, if you are on vacation, I will take you with me."
Soon, Daohua finished her work and went out with her maid and old woman.
Daozi stood at the gate of the palace, watching his mother's carriage go away with the look of a heartless man, his chubby face puffed up with wrinkles.
At this time, Xiao Yeyang spoke: "Let's go, Dad will take you to the academy."
Daozi glanced at Xiao Yeyang beside him with a sad look, and said in a condescending tone, "Dad, why did you fall for my mother who always likes to run away when she has nothing to do?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at his son who was a little smart boy, and then he actually rested his chin on his hand, pretending to think.
Yes, why did he fall in love with that woman?
Silence for a while
Xiao Yeyang shrugged: "Who knows, maybe his brain was stuck in the door!" Ever since they met, his daughter Yi Yi seemed to like running into the fields.
Perhaps it is because of this love that she is able to cultivate high-yield grain varieties.
The abandoned father and son, who shared the same fate, looked at each other and sighed helplessly at the same time.
What should I do if I have a woman who is not home?
You can only pamper your own princess (mother)!
Daohua had no idea of the father and son's little thoughts. After arriving at Daoxiang Village, she went to the paddy field cultivation area.
Today, Daoxiang Village has become quite large. Originally, there were a lot of wastelands around it, but now many people have moved here to settle down and build houses nearby because of its fame.
Looking around, you can see curling smoke from cooking fires, lush fields, and a vibrant scene.
On May 11th, Daozi turned six years old. This time, Daozi happily ate the birthday cake made by his mother.
The twins were just greedy, so I pestered them for rice to feed them.
Daozi complained that the twins were troublesome, but she fed the two little ones very skillfully.
Daohua took the opportunity to say, "Before, you were the only child in the family, and you could only eat birthday cake once a year. But after having brothers and sisters, you can eat it more often. Aren't you very happy?"
Daozi thought about it and nodded hurriedly, thinking that this was the case.
After he turned six, Xiao Yeyang stopped indulging Daozi and specially asked Prince Ping to invite a famous scholar from the capital to Xiliang to teach Daozi.
From then on, Daozi’s carefree days were gone forever. Every day after returning from the National Defense Academy, he would be called by his family teacher to check his homework.
The National Defense Academy implemented a policy of two days off every five days. If Daozi did not do well in his studies, the rest time would be used to make up for the missed lessons.
This is a disaster for the rice.
But when it comes to studying, neither his parents nor his ancestors have any room for negotiation. As he has little influence, he can only bow his head and agree.
Except for some discomfort at the beginning, Daozi gradually got used to the teacher's inspections. The little guy has a good memory and a flexible mind, so his play time has not been reduced much.
Daozi was relieved now and continued to live his carefree childhood happily. He would play with his younger brothers and sisters when he had nothing to do, since he had nothing to do anyway.
In the blink of an eye, it is the autumn harvest season again.
On July 30th, after breakfast, Daohua was dragged out by the mysterious Xiao Yeyang.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua onto the carriage and spoke, "Tomorrow is your birthday. I'll take you to Bamu to relax and check out the market there."
Hearing this, Daohua's face suddenly showed a smile, and then it withdrew: "But the children."
Xiao Yeyang: "Don't worry about the child. Daozi is on vacation these two days. The family has the uncle looking after them. There are so many maids and old women at home, so nothing will happen."
Daohua didn't say anything more. After leaving the city, she lifted the curtain of the car and stuck her head out to feel the breeze blowing towards her.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Do you want to go down and ride a horse?"
Daohua smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's been a long time since I rode a horse freely."
The two men got off the carriage, jumped on their horses, and with the whips pulled, the two horses galloped out like arrows.
“Ah~”
Daohua was riding his horse, roaring from time to time. Seeing Xiao Yeyang just looking at him with a smile, he immediately said with a smile: "You should roar loudly too, it will make you feel better."
After coming to Xiliang, Xiao Yeyang was actually under quite a lot of pressure. In the past two years, the burden on his shoulders had been somewhat lighter, but having to manage the entire Xiliang, all kinds of troubles were inevitable.
Xiao Yeyang shook his head to refuse, but in the end he still yelled at Daohua's entanglement.
Once you start, you can’t stop.
Afterwards, Defu and others who followed behind often heard Xiao Yeyang and Daohua roaring from time to time.
However, the result of going too crazy was that Daohua's voice became hoarse.
Xiao Yeyang wanted to laugh at this: "I told you not to use so much force, but you refused to listen. Now you know how powerful it is."
Daohua rubbed her throat and hummed, "When we get to the post station, I'll boil some medicine and drink it."
After resting for a night at the post station, Xiao Yeyang brought Daohua to Bamu Border Town again the next morning.
As the mayor, Ma Teng knew that Xiao Yeyang would come, so he waited at the town entrance early.
Today's Bamu Town is completely different from when Daohua first came here. Not only has it expanded a lot, but it is also extremely lively.
The camel caravan and the horse and carriage caravan almost blocked the entrance to the town.
After Ma Teng's introduction, Daohua learned that the permanent and floating populations here have increased more than ten times compared to before.
There are not only people from Daxia and Western Liao in the town, but also merchants from other countries in the Western Regions.
Today, land in Bamu Town is extremely valuable, and merchants all want to have their own shops here. Unfortunately, all the expanded shops are controlled by the government, and only merchants recognized by the government are eligible to rent shops here.
Since the opening of the mutual trade, shops have been in short supply. Even if you have only money, you still cannot rent a shop.
Merchants who do not have shops can only conduct trade in designated commercial areas.
