Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

One day at the end of July, Jinghan was playing in the yard with her son in her arms. Suddenly someone came to report from the front, saying that someone outside was looking for the magistrate, but the magistrate took him to a village near Human Road. Moreover, the visitor said that he was from the capital. The people in the government office did not know who he was and did not dare to receive him, so he came to see Jinghan.

Jinghan had no choice but to hand over Qingyuan to Qian, and then she packed up and went to the front. When I came to the living room, I saw several people inside. One of them was sitting on a chair, and the others were standing.

When Jinghan's eyes adjusted to the light in the room, she realized that the person sitting was actually the emperor. Jinghan quickly stepped forward and saluted, "My sister has met the emperor."

"Come on, Ning'an, I'm here to play. Don't be so polite, just call me big brother." Li Mingrui smiled, stopped Jinghan from kneeling down, and asked the people next to him to help Jinghan up. "Yunfei, why don't you help Ning An up quickly?"

The person standing next to him was naturally Jingwan's husband, Qi Yunfei. The other few are also strangers, Mr. Wu, Mr. Han, and that Li Jin.

"I wonder why the emperor came here suddenly?" Jinghan couldn't help but ask. The majestic king of a country came to Zhendong in such a light manner. Why did he come here?

"I heard that the scenery here is beautiful, so I thought of coming to see it. Besides, this place is already a border, so I must know something about the border, right?" Li Mingrui still looked at Jinghan with a smile.

Jinghan had the urge to beat up the person in front of her, so she abandoned the affairs of the court and ran to the border, bringing only a few people with her. If the spies of Beiyuan Kingdom knew about this, they wouldn't be able to send someone to assassinate him. Jinghan felt a headache when she thought of this. "Your Majesty is concerned about the safety of a country. How can you easily leave Beijing and risk danger? There are many dangers in the border area, so please return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Li Mingrui laughed loudly, "Ning'an, Ning'an, you can't change your temper in this life. Okay, I just want to go out and relax. Ever since I took that seat, I haven't had a free day. It's okay, there is Yun Fei and Li Jin are guarding me, and besides, aren’t you the lucky star?”

Jinghan gritted her teeth angrily, but had no choice but to arrange a place for them to stay. "Since the emperor has said so, let's stay here. When your husband comes back, let him take the emperor to look around." Jinghan's voice was a little stiff when she spoke, and she shook her head, finally controlling her temper. . "Your Majesty, this is a remote and remote area, but there is no good place for you to stay, so make do with it."

After finishing speaking, Jinghan went to arrange a place first. This place has not long returned to the imperial court, and it is on the border. Naturally, there is no inn station. They had no choice but to pack up a few houses in the county government office for them to live in.

After Jinghan went out, Li Mingrui laughed loudly, "Hahaha, did you see that expression on Ning'an's face just now, as if she wanted to eat me? In her heart, she probably regards me as the god of plague." He hadn't been this happy for a long time. He didn't know why, but when he saw Jinghan like this, he suddenly felt funny.

Qi Yunfei shook his head helplessly, wondering what the emperor was thinking. There was no sign at all before, so he just led a few of them out of the capital and rushed here. All matters in the capital were left to Mingyu. Unfortunately, Mingyu was only a month into his marriage, and he was already taken to the palace to work as a coolie.

Mr. Han also smiled, "Princess Ning'an is married, and her temper is still so hot, but it hasn't changed at all. Your Majesty, how long will we stay here?"

"Stay a little longer. This is already the border. Maybe we can find out something. In the past few years, there has been chaos in Beiyuan, and there is no time to regain the lost territory. However, according to the intelligence we have obtained, Look, I'm afraid it won't be long before Beiyuan Kingdom is reunited. By then, they won't give up the idea of ​​attacking us, so we should take precautions in advance. We can't fight an unprepared battle. If you are prepared, you must be prepared in advance." Li Mingrui suppressed a smile. When he was not smiling, he had a different aura.

Everyone stopped saying anything and waited in the room. Not long after, Jinghan came back with others. "Mr. Li, the residence has been packed up. Everyone has been working hard all the way, so you should take a rest first."

Li Mingrui didn't correct her title. He already knew that Jinghan would not follow his wishes and call her eldest brother. "Okay, I'm really tired from this journey. I'm sorry to trouble Ning'an." It was really hard to call Jinghan by her given name, so Li Mingrui used her title as her first name.

The group of people went to rest separately under Jinghan's arrangement. Jinghan specially assigned five or six maids to work in the small courtyard here. He also told me to serve him well and not to neglect him. The girls and women in the family are all very obedient. Since Jinghan said so, they are all very careful.

Jinghan started to worry again. The emperor is here, what should we prepare for them? There are eggplants, beans and beans in the fields now, but it can’t just be these, right? After thinking about it, he ordered people to go to the nearby village and get some chicken and fish. He also sent people around to look for Zixuan and asked him to come back quickly.

In the evening, Zixuan came back from outside and asked Jinghan when he saw her. "Madam, what's going on? You called me back in a hurry."

Jinghan whispered, "The emperor is here."

"What?" Zixuan was stunned. "Why did the emperor come to us?"

Jinghan said helplessly, "Ask me, who should I ask? The legs are on his body, not mine."

"Where do you live? I'll go over and have a look." The emperor is here, why don't you hurry over and pay a visit?

The couple walked towards the small courtyard where Li Mingrui lived. When they met the girl Chunmei, they asked, "Are the guests inside awake?"

"I'm awake. I brought hot water in just now. I said I wanted to freshen up and asked if dinner was ready." Chunmei replied quickly.

Jinghan nodded, "Okay, go down and do your job well."

The couple entered the yard, and Yunfei happened to be outside. Zixuan hurried over to talk to Yunfei. Jinghan turned around and went to the kitchen. With such distinguished guests, why not prepare something to eat? By the time Jinghan came back from the kitchen, Zixuan had already met Li Mingrui, and the monarch and his ministers had a very good chat.

Jinghan had no choice but to go in and ask everyone to eat. These people had been traveling for days and were indeed hungry. The dinner was delicious. Li Mingrui said he wanted to drink, and he had to drink the wine brewed by Jinghan Winery. Fortunately, there was one at home, so Jinghan asked someone to bring two jars and let them drink as much as they could while she went to coax her son.

The wine brewed by Jinghan Winery has a much higher alcohol content. As soon as these people drank it, they all agreed. When a man is together and drinks some wine, why not just let it go? Although Li Mingrui is the emperor, except for Zixuan, the rest of these people are his friends who he grew up with and are very familiar with. After a while, everyone forgot their identities and started drinking together.

At the end, everyone was drunk and staggering, and Li Mingrui was still holding a wine glass to compete with Zixuan. "You are so lucky, kid. Jinghan follows you wholeheartedly and helps you make suggestions. She has worked hard for the people here. If you, kid, are sorry for her, I will be the first one not to spare you." She drank a little loudly. .

Zixuan was not polite, "Nonsense, that is my wife, how can I be sorry to her? She is the one I love the most, even my son has to stay behind. Jinghan is mine, and will be mine for the rest of my life, no one else Don't try to snatch her away." With that said, Zixuan lay down on the table and fell asleep.

"Hahaha, you have such a drinking capacity, but you still want to fight with me." Li Mingrui also drank too much. Watching Zixuan lie down, he also lay down on the table.

There were two servants waiting in the yard. When they saw this situation, they sent them all back to the room one by one.

Jinghan was originally waiting for Zixuan in the room, but there was no movement from the people waiting here and there, so she simply went to sleep first. Not long after I lay down, I heard sounds outside. It was a conversation between Chuntao and the boy. Jinghan quickly got up, put on some clothes and went out to take a look, only to find that the servant was supporting the drunk Zixuan and was about to enter the house.

"Okay, just Chuntao come and help me. You can go down first. Have all the guests rested too?" Jinghan stepped forward to help Zixuan and helped him into the house.

"It's time for everyone to rest. Everyone drank a lot." After the boy finished speaking, he left.

Jinghan and Chuntao finally helped Zixuan into the house and put him on the kang. Chuntao brought a basin of water, Jinghan twisted a cloth and helped Zixuan wipe his face. "Okay, you go to bed, I'm here."

Chuntao went out, and Jinghan sat beside Zixuan, holding Zixuan's hand, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Suddenly Zixuan opened his eyes and asked Jinghan.

"Aren't you drunk too much?" Jinghan asked with a smile. At this moment she also understood that Zixuan must have been pretending to be drunk just now, "Young man, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you for deceiving the emperor?"

"If I don't pretend to be drunk, why don't I drink until midnight? I drink this wine often and have long been used to it. How can they stand it when they drink such a strong drink for the first time? Hahaha, I fell down when I saw this. On the table." Zixuan sat up and hugged Jinghan. "Madam, it's getting late, let's rest. We all have to cheer up tomorrow and entertain these distinguished guests." Zixuan deliberately used the word "distinguished guest" very seriously.

"Isn't that true? I don't know why I'm crazy because I came all this way." Jinghan muttered as she took off her clothes. Then he helped Zixuan take off his clothes, and the two of them lay on the bed, talking quietly. "I hope they leave soon, otherwise, I will be really scared. If something happens, it is not something that the two of us can afford."

Zixuan patted Jinghan's back and said, "Go to sleep. Don't think about this. Everyone is already here. We can't push them back, right?"
