It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

The old emperor said this, and his inquiring eyes fell on Lu Huaiyang's face.

He wanted to see how hard life was for his son these years.

The Ye family, his parents-in-law's family, is already so poor.

His son seemed to be in an even worse situation.

However, he was not sure how hard his son's life was.

At this time, the emperor was obviously moved with compassion.

Lu Huaiyang naturally would not refuse, and hurriedly bowed to the emperor and said to him, "If you don't mind, your son can take you to see it."

Ping'an was also beside him, holding the old emperor's hand. His childish tone was full of seriousness: "Grandfather, let Ping'an take you to see our house. Ping'an still has to practice a lot of calligraphy every day."

"is it?"

The emperor was a little surprised and nodded: "Let's go and take a look."

Unexpectedly, even though he was in such a miserable state, he still wanted to teach his children to read and write. The emperor felt very relieved.

As expected, he is worthy of being the son that he values ​​so much, he is just extraordinary.

Perhaps, the daughter-in-law he married would be a good one too.

In this place, it’s pretty good.

As soon as the emperor stood up, the Minister of Works and Magistrate Lu beside him also stood up.

Magistrate Lu hurriedly said, "I'll have someone prepare the carriage."

Before the emperor could give any instructions, Ping An, who was standing beside him, asked curiously, "What kind of carriage is this? Ping An has never ridden in one before. When my father, mother, and I came to my grandfather's house, we always walked. And it was very fast."

Ping An looked innocently at the emperor and asked, "Grandfather, you are old and it is hard for you to walk. My mother and I have ridden in an ox cart before. Would you like to give it a try?"

Hearing the child's innocent yet sincere words, the emperor was stunned for a moment and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

At this moment, the heartache and guilt towards my children and grandchildren are even greater.

The child is four years old and has never even seen a carriage, but he is so sensible.

Then think of the young grandchildren in the palace, all of them spoiled and pampered. They had to ride in carriages or sedan chairs from the palace gate to the emperor's bedroom, or else they had to be carried and coaxed by servants...

They are all naughty and ignorant. Look at the grandson in front of me... None of those brats can compare to him.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more upset he felt, and the more relieved and moved he felt when he looked at Christmas Eve.

"In that case, there is no need to prepare a carriage."

The emperor said, "I will also accompany Ping An for a walk and take a look at the local customs and people along the way."

The planting situation in Yejia Village has basically been determined. Walking all the way to Lu Huaiyang and his family's residence, you can also see the situation of the people along the way.

The emperor knew that Magistrate Lu must have been prepared long ago for bringing him to Yejia Village, and it was not necessarily the whole truth.

Everything counts only if he sees it with his own eyes.

"Grandfather, let Ping An lead the way. If you get tired, let my father carry you."

Ping An smiled at the emperor and said, "Dad is very strong. He can easily carry 200 kilograms of grain."

"When Ping'an grows up, grandpa will come again and Ping'an can carry you on his back."

The old emperor lowered his head and looked at the little boy who was only touching his thighs. For a moment, he was almost moved to tears.

What a sensible child, he suffered...

And his son actually did such rough work himself, not even as good as a farmer...

No matter what the emperor thought in his heart, he smiled and rubbed Ping'an's head, saying with a smile: "What a sensible child. Don't worry, grandpa is not that fragile. Grandpa, I can walk by myself."

So, the group prepared to go out.

Ye Nanyue also roughly heard the conversation in the outer courtyard in the inner room, and secretly sighed in her heart, this eldest son is really smart, he is simply a great assist.

Every word hit the nail on the head. How could the old emperor not be moved and shocked after hearing it?

This is much better than asking Lu Huaiyang to do whatever he wants!

The emperor was going to visit Lu Huaiyang and the others, so Old Man Ye asked his two sons to stay behind and he himself planned to go with them.

Ye Nanyue was in the inner room, so she also invited An to join her and asked Hu, the mother, to accompany her.

The head of Yejia Village naturally followed along.

Just as they reached the gate, the emperor seemed to remember something and said, "The men will walk, and the women will take the carriage."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Huaiyang and his tone softened a bit: "Let your wife also have the county magistrate's wife accompany her. Let's ride in the same carriage and take our time on the road."

"Yes, son, I understand." Lu Huaiyang responded, knowing in his heart that the emperor accepted Ye Nanyue.

For some reason, I felt relieved.

In the past, I was still worried about whether it was appropriate to bring her back to Beijing, but now, I don’t know when it started, I am completely reluctant to leave her behind.

The others looked at each other in confusion. Even the thick-skinned Old Man Ye and his two sons felt that something was wrong.

Who is this... Lu Huaiyang's father?

Not to mention others, why did County Magistrate Lu respect him so much and even give him orders?

To these people, County Magistrate Lu is already a powerful official. But...is Lu Huaiyang's father really just the master of a wealthy family, or just a businessman?

Without having time to think about it, the emperor was already heading towards the Lin family farm under Ping'an's guidance.

Ye Nanyue also got on the carriage with An and Hu and headed home together.

The emperor and his entourage walked in front, while Ye Nanyue and An's carriage followed behind.

Although they said they were walking, the group of people came in such a large group that the surrounding villagers did not dare to come out after seeing this scene. They just watched from a distance, feeling curious.

When we arrived at the end of the village, we saw Aunt Guihua and her family building a house, and many villagers were helping.

The emperor had never seen how farmers built houses, so he was curious and stopped to watch for a while.

Ping'an immediately stepped forward and greeted Aunt Guihua and Uncle Liu who came out.

The emperor asked him curiously, "Do you know this family?"

Ping An nodded: "Yes, this is Grandma Guihua and Grandpa Liu."

"They were tenant farmers on the farm just like Daddy."

"Really? It seems they have done a good job and can now build their own house." asked the emperor.

It seems that the Lin family is quite generous to these tenants.

Ping An shook his head and frowned as he said to the emperor, "No, the Lin family always bullies us and Grandma Guihua's family."

"Last time, when Dad and Mom were bullied, it was Grandma Guihua who asked the tenants on the farm for help. Now that they can no longer stay in the Lin family, Mom helped to ask the village head, Grandpa, to settle down here."

The emperor's face darkened when he heard this: "Really? Does the Lin family treat their tenants so harshly?"

Ping An said quickly, "Well, the Lin family's steward said that we are all untouchables, untouchables that no one wants. It's good enough to have something to eat."
