Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

The Supreme Emperor and Concubine Liu were able to keep their word and did not delay their schedule. They left as soon as they said they could without any hindrance.

The two of them had gotten up early every day to exercise in the past few years, and they didn't look tired even if they were traveling all day long. Even when they set up camp to rest at night, the Emperor was in high spirits and was in the mood to play some small instruments, while Mrs. Liu followed the music. Dance, the atmosphere is particularly harmonious.

The Supreme Emperor often lamented to Lu Baichuan: "It's good to go out for a walk. I feel that my bones have become much stronger, and I am much more reliable than before in seeking immortality!"

Since leaving the capital, they have changed their self-identity. If there are outsiders, they call themselves "Old Slave", and if there are no outsiders, they call themselves "I" without revealing their identity at all.

Lu Baichuan nodded and smiled: "Jiu'er said that life lies in moving. Your health has been much better in recent years than before."

"Hey, speaking of that girl, if she had been with her along the way, there would have been a lot more joy. By the way, there are also dogs!"

The Supreme Emperor said, looking like he missed them very much.

"What is the name of the little girl you gave birth to? I have prepared a gift for her!"

Although he hasn't seen it yet, the Supreme Emperor has already imagined that the meaty little dumpling must be as cute as a dog.

"My father named me Xiangxiang, after Xiangjun."

"Xiangxiang, what a good name!"

The Supreme Emperor recited it over and over again, remembered it in his mind, and thought about engraving his name on the gift he gave to the child in his spare time.

Probably due to good luck, he walked safely for more than half a month without any accidents. The Supreme Emperor often praised his superb ability to pretend, and no one noticed anything wrong for so long.

Naturally, everyone was flattering him, and while they were doing so, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily.

Lu Baichuan said: "It's going to rain and the mountain road is muddy. Why don't we stay in a nearby village for one night and set off early tomorrow morning?"

The Supreme Emperor nodded: "You can do whatever you want, we can do it!"

Lu Baichuan sent people to nearby villages to inquire about the situation. People did not have so many free rooms in their homes, so they had to live in several nearby homes.

For the convenience of protection, Lu Baichuan lived with the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Liu in the village chief's home.

The head of this village is still very young, only about 40 years old. He has two sons and two daughters at home. The eldest granddaughter is only five years old. She has two little knots on her head. She is so cute.

When I saw a group of strangers coming to my home, I was a little scared and hid behind the wall to peek.

Seeing this, the village chief said with a smile: "The baby at home is so timid that the nobles are laughing at me. Please come inside and I will get some water for you!"

They paid for their stay for one night, so the village chief naturally entertained them wholeheartedly.

"It's okay, just grow up slowly."

The Supreme Emperor waved his hands indifferently, his eyes fixed on the little girl's head.

"Child, come here, grandpa will give you candy!"

The Supreme Emperor waved to the little girl and smiled kindly.

The little girl was a little moved, but she still didn't dare to come over and looked at the village chief blankly.

The village chief smiled and said: "The noble man is calling you, come here quickly!" The little girl came forward timidly, and the Emperor touched her fluffy little buttons as he wished, and took out a handful of candies from his sleeves. she.

The candy he ate was naturally of the highest quality, and even the wrapping paper exuded nobility. Seeing this, the village chief hurriedly stepped forward to stop his granddaughter from picking it up, with a look of surprise on his face: "Noble man, you must not do this, this is too expensive. Got it!"

Although the noble man in front of him is dressed as an ordinary person, the temperament around him is not what ordinary people can have. At this time, the Supreme Emperor's temples are gray, but his chin is clean. It is said that the eunuchs in the palace do not have beards. Yes, the village chief guessed that this must be your father-in-law who was on duty in the palace.

Those who come from the palace and can live to this age must have a high status. They ordinary people don't dare to offend.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a handful of candy!"

After saying that, he quickly gave the candy to the little girl, as if he was afraid that the village chief would stop him again.

The little girl was amused by his appearance and said sweetly: "Thank you, grandpa!"

"Hey, your little mouth is so sweet! Look how smart the child is! Come on, tell grandpa, what's your name?"

"Cui Niu."

Feeling that the Emperor's attitude was very gentle and he kept talking to her with a smile, the little girl became a lot more courageous.

"Not bad, not bad, sounds really nice!"

The Supreme Emperor now has a childish mentality. Seeing a group of people watching him talking to the little girl, Mrs. Liu took the initiative to tug on his sleeve and said, "Eunuch Chang, everyone is waiting."

The Emperor didn't realize that he was now called "Eunuch Chang" and looked at Concubine Liu in confusion. Concubine Liu winked at him before he realized what he was saying and said, "Yes, yes, yes, let's go in!"

He took the little girl's hand and walked inside together. The village chief was a little nervous beside him, and the baby's mother was also watching nervously not far away, worried that the child would be immature and offend the nobles and bring trouble to the whole family.

Fortunately, the little girl was very sensible and just followed obediently without speaking or crying. The village chief and his family were quietly relieved.

After sitting down, the village chief's eldest daughter-in-law brought tea. The Emperor happened to be thirsty and took a sip. Unexpectedly, he found it delicious.

"What kind of tea is this? It's so fragrant."

The village chief said modestly: "It's just wild tea trees that grow randomly in our mountains. We pick them up and fry them ourselves, and drink them as we go. As long as the noble people don't dislike them."

"It turned out to be wild tea that I roasted myself. Sure enough, the experts are among the people!"

The Supreme Emperor sighed, took another sip, started chatting, and said, "You can sell such good tea in shops on the street. Someone will definitely take it."

"Yes, the imperial court has treated us people better and better over the years, and encouraged us to do business. Although this tea is not worth a few dollars, it can also add some income to the family, and the family's life has become better and better. "

Many years ago, businessmen were the most looked down upon. No matter how poor the people were, they were not willing to do business with businessmen. The things they grew in their own fields would be handed over to the court and kept for themselves to eat. At most, they would be sold to the villagers. People exchanged some daily necessities with each other, so they basically didn’t have any money.

But in recent years, the court has become more tolerant of merchants, and merchants can bring specialties from far away places to the people, so they are not so resistant to merchants. Everyone is willing to interact with merchants and is willing to sell their excess agricultural products to merchants. If they have money, Earn money and improve your quality of life.

Seeing the heartfelt smiles on their faces, the Supreme Emperor was very pleased and asked casually: "What price do you sell this tea for?"

"Ten cents a pound."

The Supreme Emperor's eyes almost popped out: "What!!!" (End of Chapter)
