After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

"Master, the magic trick just now was so magical, it actually changed from the east to the west." After watching the magic trick and coming out of the tent, the young master kept sighing with his eyes shining.

"I'll show you again next time I have the chance. Maybe there will be new tricks next time."

"Uh-huh!"

"I want to come too!" Shen Qilin responded immediately. The magic tricks he had seen in the mansion before were like the difference between a sparrow and a wild goose compared to this one. There was no comparison at all.

"..." Shen Yong didn't say anything. He didn't want to take care of the child. He was so tired in just a short while!

"How about we go outside the city and have a look?" Su Qinchao bent down and looked at the still excited young master: "The wheat is ripe now, and the whole mountain and field are golden."

"I don't want it! There are still many things here that I haven't played with yet!" Shen Qilin raised his hand to protest. He saw that there were monkey trainers and ring tossers in front of him!

"Oh my god!" The young master looked at Su Qinchao and slowly calmed down. He knew what his master meant. He had read a lot of books in these days and understood a lot of things.

Moreover, last time, the master took him to see farmers doing farm work in the scorching sun. Everything the master did was for his own good, so he was willing to follow the master's instructions and go and take a look.

"Good boy!" Su Qinchao touched the little master's head, feeling very relieved.

"Then I'll go too!" Shen Qilin changed his tone immediately when he saw that the young master also agreed. Normally, because of his uncle's reputation, few children wanted to play with him. Now that he finally met one, he was willing to make do with him.

Therefore, the four of them rented an ox cart in the north of the city and slowly left the city through the north gate. Along the way, the two children kept touching the ox's tail and had a lot of fun.

"Why do we have to ride in an ox cart?" He had never ridden in such a thing in his life. Shen Yong felt pain in his cheeks as he looked at the pedestrians passing quickly by him.

"It's fun to try everything!" Su Qinchao glanced at the young master and smiled slightly.

"Forget it, I'd better get off and walk!" Shen Yong couldn't help it anymore, jumped off the ox cart, strode forward, and when he was farther away, he stood there with his arms folded and waited.

...

The ox cart traveled for a full quarter of an hour before finally reaching the outskirts of the city. Under the bright sunshine, seemingly endless golden wheat appeared before their eyes like a picture scroll. Especially when a gust of wind blew, the wheat waves became even more spectacular.

"Is it beautiful?" Su Qin pointed at the scroll and asked the three people who were already amazed.

"How beautiful!" Shen Qilin opened his eyes wide in exclamation. Although he was young and had not read many books, it did not prevent him from being shocked for the moment.

"Let's go closer and take a look!" Su Qin took the young master's hand, stepped onto the village road, and slowly walked towards the wheat waves.

"Master, what are they doing?" The young master walked closer and found that there were many children of the same size as him in the wheat waves. They kept bending down to pick up something.

"They are picking wheat," Su Qinchao pointed to a harvested wheat field and told the young master:

"This area has been harvested by farmers, but there are many ears of wheat left behind, so these children go to pick them up. These are indispensable food for them."

Although potatoes have become widely used in recent years, people still prefer to cook them into dishes, and still prefer rice and flour as their staple food. Probably only farmers with few fields and soldiers on the border would use potatoes as their staple food to satisfy their hunger.

"I'll help them pick it up!" The young master squatted down, took off his shoes and socks, and walked barefoot on the muddy ground. Shen Qilin, who was standing next to him, followed suit.

"Go!" Because they were going out to play today, in order to avoid trouble, Su Qinchao specially asked the young master to wear the most ordinary cloth clothes. Now they blend in and are not too conspicuous.

I don’t know how the two of them talked to the children, but after just a moment’s hesitation, the children agreed to pick up wheat ears together.

"Just let them go like this?" Shen Yong looked at Su Qinchao. Sometimes he didn't know what was going on in this man's mind.

"It's enough to play. Aren't you much more peaceful now?" Su Qinchao squinted at him. Shen Qilin was very lively. He kept pestering Shen Yong all the way, talking all the time.

"That's true." Shen Yong touched his chin. He had been unable to bear it for a long time. He didn't know how his wife took care of the children on a daily basis. She really suffered a lot. He must treat his wife better in the future!

By the time the two children had had enough fun, an hour had passed. They and those children had cleaned up all five plots of land before returning.

"Master, those kids asked us to go to their house for dinner, but I refused!" The young master walked up to Su Qinchao with sweat on his forehead, and took out his hands from behind his back and spread them out:

"So they gave me this." The young master showed Su Qinchao a few quail eggs as if they were treasures.

"Me too! Me too!" Shen Yong, who was following behind him, also quickly spread out his hands to show his father.

"Great, you are all good kids!" Su Qinchao touched his head and said, "You must be tired, let's go back!"

"Not tired!" The young master shook his head, looked at the wheat field again, put the quail eggs in his arms, and then reluctantly put on his shoes and socks.

"We are going back so early!" Shen Qilin felt that he had not played enough, it was too much fun outside!

"Have you forgotten what you promised your mother?" Shen Yong reminded calmly, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth.

"Got it!" Shen Qilin lowered his shoulders dejectedly. He remembered what his mother said in the morning and he had to write two big characters in the afternoon.

"Next time, when you learn archery, Master will bring you out again." Su Qin glanced at the young master, who was obviously not as happy as before.

"Master, you must remember this!" The young master was so happy that he narrowed his eyes.

"I will never forget it!"

Because the Princess's Mansion and the Shen Mansion were located in different directions, they planned to go their separate ways at the city gate.

The two children held each other's hands and talked for a while reluctantly, exchanged the purses they were carrying as gifts, and made an appointment to meet next time before parting.

"In fact, the princess will send you to the Imperial Academy to study next year, and Shen Qilin will also go there then." After Su Qinchao sent the young master to the princess's mansion, he saw that he was a little sad, so he told him the news.

Logically, the young prince should have been sent to Chongwenguan, but Princess Yucheng hoped that he could go to the Imperial Academy so that he could interact with more children of ministers.

"Really?" The young master looked up at Su Qinchao. He thought he would rarely have the chance to see him in the future.

"Of course, all the children from aristocratic families had to go there to study!" Su Qinchao only learned about this after he came to Chang'an that year.

It was a place where children of officials above the third rank studied. The Shen family was considered to be descendants of meritorious officials, so naturally they were also among them.

But now he is only a fourth-rank military officer. If he fails to get promoted in a few years, Xiao Tangbao will have to go to the next-rank Imperial Academy.
