Knowing that the prince is coming, the villagers of Sha County are a little excited.
Many villagers in Sha County have recently moved here, and the most officials they have seen are Lu Lin. When they suddenly heard that a prince is coming, all the villagers were a little shocked.
Soon, all the villagers became excited, the prince, the big man, such a big man, is coming, what an exciting thing this is.
Lu Lin held his chin, with a worried face.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Lin said worriedly: "I'm thinking about how to entertain the prince when he comes."
Chen Xiaomi curled her lips and said, "What are you in a hurry for? Maybe when the time comes, you won't need to entertain them at all, and there will be more people rushing to entertain you."
Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaomi, and said with admiration: "It makes sense!" He is just a seventh-rank county magistrate, and in the eyes of other princes, he is a small official the size of a sesame seed and mung bean. If the prince wants to come, there are so many It was his Shangguan who wanted to curry favor with him, a little guy like him, he couldn't say anything at all.
Although he is not a clean-fingered man, he is relatively clean in comparison. His Shangguan's mansions are really well-built. In comparison, his mansion is a bit shabby.
This prince is here to work in the army, so Ji Chengkang should entertain him. Ji Chengkang's hospitality is not good, and there are many people who take over.
When the time comes, he will use him if he is needed, and he will be happy if he is not needed.
Chen Xiaomi held her chin and said, "Tell me, is General Ji's guess true? The prince may stay with us for a while because he is afraid of his wife."
Lu Lin smiled, gloating and said: "I don't know, but I heard that this prince has a criminal record!" Chen Xiaomi tilted his head, and said suspiciously: "How could this be? Could it be that the queen and the noble concubine gave him a criminal record?" The Fujin introduced by the prince are all ugly.
"Probably not, the queen and concubine probably wouldn't use an ugly girl to perfuse the prince."
Lu Lin thought to himself: It is said that the beauties in the emperor's harem do three things. Sometimes this is not a good thing. Some emperors do not have a deep foundation. In order to balance the forces behind the concubines, they need to take turns to favor each concubine. This cannot be neglected. , neglected that, some emperors even took medicine for this matter, it was hard work.
In the same way, the prince's two blessings were bestowed by the queen and the noble concubine. The queen and the noble concubine fought fiercely in the harem. The princes of the two could become emperors. If the prince wants to remain neutral, he may not be partial Pet.
"This prince is really unlucky!" Chen Xiaomi couldn't help but shook his head and said.
Lu Lin nodded approvingly.
There was a burst of laughter, Lu Linxun looked over, Chen Mai and the blindfolded Yuan Bao were playing hide-and-seek in the yard.
The caught Yuan Bao screamed, and the two of them had a great time playing.
Lu Lin thought to himself: The two younger ones in the family are the calmest! Lu Lin had already mentioned the matter of the prince's coming to the two of them, but their reaction was flat.
For the two of them, the prince's attraction may not be comparable to a pot of bone broth.
Chen Xiaocai came out of Lu Lin's courtyard and returned to his mansion.
The place where Lu Lin lives is the county government office. If Lu Lin resigns any time, he will not be able to live there. Chen Xiaolai built another mansion near the county government office.
In the past few years, Chen Xiaolai's business has grown bigger and bigger, and more and more people are using it, and the county office is also a little too tight. Seeing Chen Xiaocai's return, Shen Chi came out with the baby in his arms. "My lord is coming!" Shen Chi gave birth to a boy last year, named Chen Lei, and this year gave birth to another boy, named Shen Nian.
Extinct households seem to be a big deal here. Back then, Grandma Shen also hoped that Shen Chi would recruit a son-in-law to continue the incense for the Shen family. However, the Shen family was too poor, and Grandma Shen only occasionally mentioned this matter to Shen Chi. After the side dishes were settled, Grandma Shen didn't think about it anymore, and felt that her children and grandchildren would be blessed by their own children and grandchildren.
Back then, before Grandma Shen passed away, Chen Xiaolai promised Grandma Shen that she would give birth to a child with his surname, and give birth to a second son with the surname of Shen Chi, and let him continue the incense of the Shen family. Grandma Shen listened. After that, I was very excited and smiled.
After Chen Chi gave birth to his second son, Chen Xiaocai originally planned to take Shen Chi and the two younger ones back to visit the grave. After all, they had been out for so many years and hadn't been back yet. They planned to leave in a few days.
"The lord is going to come over. I'm afraid Brother Lin will entertain him at that time. We should be a few days late before leaving." Chen Xiaocai said.
Shen Chi nodded and said: "Okay, it's been so many years, it doesn't matter if it's a few days later."
Shen Chi thought to himself: It's not a short distance to go to Lin Town, Erbao is still young, so it's better to wait a little longer. The most urgent task at the moment is to serve the prince well, even if he can't get involved, he must not offend him.
Shen Chi said with a little sigh: "I never thought that my lord would come to such a place."
Chen Xiaocai scratched his head, and said mysteriously: "Brother Lin said, the prince was scared out of his marriage because he had too many wives."
Shen Chi blushed and said: "It's not easy to talk nonsense!" If it reaches the ears of the prince, it will be troublesome. Chen Xiaocai smiled and said, "I'm just telling you."
Shen Chi blushed and nodded.
At first, the villagers were very excited when they heard the news that the prince was coming to work in the army. However, as time passed, the prince still did not come, and everyone gradually lost interest in this matter.
After all, the prince's coming has nothing to do with the villagers. To many people, the prince's coming is not as real as a steamed stuffed bun.
Lu Lin waited for more than 30 days, and finally waited for the prince's arrival.
The prince rested while walking along the way, and the journey on the road was delayed a lot.
The prince came with dozens of soldiers, and the magistrate had already greeted him. However, the prince had been sitting in the sedan chair with a mysterious look, and the magistrate hadn't even seen him face to face.
Even if the magistrate couldn't see the prince, it wouldn't be Lu Lin's turn to show his face at all.
Lu Lin prepared for a long time, and found that he suddenly had nothing to do with himself. He was relieved, but also a little bit disappointed.
"My lord has been picked up!" Chen Xiaomi asked.
Lu Lin nodded and said: "My lord has gone to the camp. He came to condolences to the military officer. It is said that he declined the invitation of the magistrate and others, and went directly to the military camp. He wanted to eat and live with the frontier army and understand the suffering of the people. The general seemed surprised too."
Chen Xiaomi said suspiciously: "This prince is amazing!"
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Chen Xiaomi did not find it hard to live with his younger brother in the cave. However, now that he is asked to go back to that kind of life, Chen Xiaomi feels that he cannot He must be able to bear it, after all, he seems to be pampered by Lu Lin! When Chen Xiaomi thinks about the old days, sometimes she finds it unbelievable.
Even if he is like this, it is a prince who came here. He should be well-clothed and well-fed in the capital on weekdays.
"Yes! The prince can do this, and I think it's amazing." Lu Lin suddenly looked at this henpecked guy with admiration, thinking that the prince is actually a bit bloody.
It was not only Lu Lin who looked at the prince with admiration, but also the villagers in Sha County.
A few days later, Ji Chengkang brought a chubby man to the county government office.
Although the men's clothes are simple in style, it can be seen that they are made of rare and good materials, and ordinary people in Sha County will not wear them.
Seeing Ji Chengkang winking at him, Lu Lin immediately guessed that it might be the white dragon fish suit, who made a private visit in a micro-service, and immediately welcomed him into the house.
Ji Chengkang entered the room and chatted with Lu Lin, and then they talked about the issue of borrowing. Of course, Lu Lin did not refuse. Lu Lin originally wanted to give up the main house, but Master Wang only wanted to live in the hospital.
"General Ji, what's going on!"
Ji Chengkang frowned, and said: "My lord is not used to living in the camp, and I don't want to go back. Now you can take care of it for a few days, but this time, my lord is visiting privately." He still said to the outside world that his lord is in the barracks. "
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Okay."
Lu Lin thought: this is normal! A few men crowded into one room, and the stinking and sweaty prince stayed there. I'm afraid the prince would be uncomfortable, and the people in the barracks would also be uncomfortable.
Lu Lin naturally respected such a great god at home.
Lu Lin originally wanted Yunniang to make some delicious food, but in the end, the prince prepared well, so he brought the cook himself. Seeing this situation, Lu Lin felt relieved. After all, if the prince's diet had problems, he would It is unbearable.
Within a few days, Lu Lin heard people talking outside, saying that the prince has a good temper. After he came, he ate and lived with the soldiers in the barracks. He didn't have any pretensions. He went deep into the barracks to understand the sufferings of the people.
Hearing this rumor, Lu Lin didn't know what to say.
The prince clearly hides in his county office every day and sleeps until the sun rises. This man is very interested in his rocking chair. He doesn't get enough sleep in the morning. After dinner, he still lies on the rocking chair and takes a nap.
The prince seems to be very interested in Chong Chong's rocking horse, but this rocking horse is too small, if the prince sits on it, he can't shake it at all, so the prince just looks at it
The prince also raised a bird, he would tease it for a while when he had nothing to do, and lived a very happy life.
According to Ji Chengkang's request, Lu Lin only told the people in the yamen that this old man is a celebrity beside him and a distinguished guest.
The celebrities around the prince are also of high status, but they are still far behind the prince. Many people are interested in the prince, but they are not so interested in the celebrities around the prince.
After the prince came, he ate and slept in his territory, and Lu Lin couldn't help but feel that the prince could really eat and sleep, he was even more like a pig than his own ingots.
Maybe the prince didn't want to stay in the palace because he wanted to sleep late and was afraid of being noisy.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, I'm here." Chen Xiaomai hurried in.
Prince Cheng, who was lying on the rocking chair and sleeping late, was awakened.
Chen Xiaomi frowned, and scolded lightly, "Nonsense, you're such an adult, why are you blah?"
"There are guests at home!" Hearing this, Chen Xiaomai couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"Master Wang, I'm sorry, this kid bumped into you." Chen Xiaomi said.
Prince Cheng has a good temper, and said to Chen Xiaomi: "It's okay."
Chen Xiaomai grabbed Chen Xiaomi's clothes and said, "Brother, brother, why don't you accompany me these days!" Because the prince is coming, Chen Xiaomi is afraid that Chen Xiaomai will bump into the nobleman, so Chen Xiaomai lets Chen Xiaocai live in Chen Xiaocai's house Chen Xiaocai lived with Chen Xiaomi all the time, and after staying with Chen Xiaocai for a few days, he couldn't stay still and ran out.
Chen Xiaomi said helplessly, "Don't make trouble."
"Let's go eat hot pot." Chen Mai said.
Chen Xiaomi said helplessly: "Let your second brother accompany you to eat."
Chen Maimai said sullenly: "Second brother is going to do business, so he is not happy to accompany me."
"What is hot pot!" Prince Cheng asked curiously.
Chen Xiaomai glanced at the chubby old man next to him, and said proudly: "You don't know what hot pot is!" Chen Xiaomi twisted Chen Xiaomai, smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Master Wang, the hot pot is from our place." It’s a special kind of food that tastes good.”
"Oh." Prince Cheng suddenly became interested. At this age, the old prince likes fresh food the most. "What kind of food!"
"It's just a big pot with meat and vegetables in it. I like meat." Chen Mai said.
Prince Cheng: "..." Stewing in a big pot? It doesn't seem like a big deal.
Prince Cheng also ate a big pot of stew in the military camp Ju for two days, a pot of stew, all messy things boiled together, it really made people lose their appetite.
Chen Xiaomai shook Chen Xiaomi's hand and said, "Brother, why don't you go with me?"
Chen Xiaomi frowned and said, "This."
Prince Cheng smiled and said, "Young Master Chen, you can go with him. I happen to be hungry too, so let's go together."
Chen Xiaomi: "..."
Yuan Bao ran out like a duckling, "Want to eat something delicious? I'll go too."
Chen Xiaomi: "..." Wheat alone is enough, and Yuan Bao will add trouble.
