交待妥当。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;天色也不早了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿也不好再耽搁。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;和大哥大嫂一起,把二娘和采央的马车送走。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;之后又闲话了片刻,看了看小侄子夏承泽,也告辞离开了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;赵君尧实在抽不出空。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;她一个女人带着孩子,纵然有暗卫护着,也不便在宫外过夜。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;因此,仅有一天的时间便越发珍贵!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;出了侯府的门。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿的马车径直往城南去了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;一路上。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿好奇地看着马车外,眼睛里全是好奇。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“母妃?咱们这是要去哪儿?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿揉着他的脑袋,温和道。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“你猜猜?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿四下看了看,摇头。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“儿臣不知!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿就笑了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“待会儿你就知道了!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;说着,她搂着他的肩膀问。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“辰儿,你喜欢咱们大楚朝的老百姓吗?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿那一双酷似赵君尧的浓眉迅速一凛,严肃道。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“当然喜欢!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“古书有云:为帝为王者,当爱民如子!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“儿臣虽不是帝王,可也丝毫不敢懈怠!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿本该严肃,可还是被他的小模样逗笑了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;强忍住笑问道。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“那你见过老百姓吗?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿一愣,摇摇头低语。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“没见过!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;眼眸里渐渐升起些愧疚。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;是啊。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;书云、古语云、先生云
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;他读了这么多书,都是在听别人云,他自己却从未亲眼见过。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;那这和纸上谈兵,有什么分别?!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“那母妃今日就带你见见!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“俗话说,民以食为天,咱们就去寻常百姓家吃一顿饭,当做你四岁生辰礼如何?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿眼睛瞬间亮了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“真的?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“母妃,这是真的?!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿淡笑问。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“你喜欢吗?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“喜欢!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“儿臣喜欢!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿几乎带着哭腔。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;这份生辰礼,他太喜欢了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿倒有些哭笑不得了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;心说:这孩子,怎么和他父皇一个样,简直为天下老百姓操碎了心!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;如果将来当了皇帝
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;呸呸呸!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿赶紧摇头。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;她怎么乱想起来呢。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;当皇帝又不是什么好差事,如果可以,还是不要了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;她唯一的希望。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;就是她的孩子,都可以安安稳稳的度过这一生。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;一个时辰后。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;这辆素色马车停在了城郊的一条乡间小路上。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;小路的尽头就是一块又一块的农田。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿把头上的珍宝钗环全部去掉,又换了一身白色棉布的外衫。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿的也换了,镶着珠玉的帽子,换成了青布小圆帽。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;衣裳也换成了普通老百姓家孩子穿的长裤短衫。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;紫月她们也都换了棉布衣裳。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;总的看起来。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;这就是几个外乡人进京城路过这里的打扮。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;更换完衣饰。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿这才带人下了马车出发,往农田走去。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;已经十月底。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;不是春耕也不是秋收。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;农田里的人并不多。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;沿路走下来。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;地里边儿种的都是红薯、芋头这样的庄稼。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿自小在乡下长大,自然都认得。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿却一脸茫然。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“母妃”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿打断他。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“现在要叫娘!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“娘,这都是什么啊?您认得吗?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿立刻改口,一双大眼睛求知若饥。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“当然认得!”她笑。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“那个干枯枯的梗茎是红薯,它的果子都在地底下埋着呢,挖出来就能吃!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;她又指着另一块地。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“那几株白白绿绿的,是白菜,那个露出来半截儿红红的,是萝卜!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“哦!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;赵启辰一边认真听,一边点头。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;古代的农作物十分匮乏。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;一条小路走下来,两边儿的农田种的几乎都是这几样。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;偶尔地头有几株菠菜,就已经十分少见了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿就有些不明白。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“娘,为什么他们种那么多红薯,却种这么少的萝卜白菜啊!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿目光深远地看着儿子。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;脑中想着这个深邃的问题。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;不愧是皇帝老公的亲儿子,这智商才四岁啊。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“因为,红薯是可以填饱肚子的!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“而萝卜和白菜,就是不挡饿的菜,他们随便种一些够吃就行!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“啊?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;赵启辰十分惊讶。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿神色不变,岸然点了点头。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;心里却庆幸:
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;幸好带他来了,不然他很有可能也问出‘何不食肉糜’这样的惊天问句!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“那就这么几棵菜,够吃吗?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“应该够的吧!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;穷苦人家的老百姓,不都是这样生活的吗?
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;她目光看向远处的那几株大白菜。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;脑中回忆起在现代的时候。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;姥姥家也种了好些萝卜白菜。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;每到快过年的时候,姥姥都会准备两个大陶泥缸子。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;一个腌咸萝卜疙瘩。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;一个泡酸白菜。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;两缸子咸菜,也足够她和姥姥两个人吃一年的!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;所以
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;应该是够的吧!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿却摇摇头。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“他们为什么不多种一些呢?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“是不是种多了这个,就填不饱肚子了!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿点点头。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“是!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“这些地应该就是农户家的!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“还有另外一些人啊,连这些也没有,只能给地主当佃户,一年到头忙活,到头来还是吃不饱!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;有人的地方就有社会。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;从古至今,何处无剥削?
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿的目光渐渐冷峻起来。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“娘!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“我还是难以想象!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“这么几棵菜,究竟怎么吃一年的!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;放在宫里,连他的一顿饭也不够啊!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;见他说话的样子颇有忧国忧民的既视感。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;她就有些忍俊不禁。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“好了!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“咱们待会儿找间农户吃个饭,你不就知道了?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿皱着眉点点头。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;之前,他以为自己已经够节约了。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;没想到还是太奢侈了啊!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;一行人在地里转悠了一大圈。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;终于找到一个正在地里刨红薯的老婆婆。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿正要上前。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;辰儿却先行一步上前问好!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“婆婆好!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;那婆婆看着白发苍苍,身子骨却十分健朗。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;想必常年在地里干活历练出来的。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;她抬头一看。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;见唤她的是个粉嘟嘟清爽爽的小男孩儿。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;心里一喜欢,就笑了出来。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“哎!好!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“这小娃娃,真懂事!”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;再一抬头,就看见三个穿着棉布衣裳的年轻女子。
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;为首的那个,细皮白净的最是好看!
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;“这位夫人是?”
&nb;&nb;&nb;&nb;夏如卿一身妇人的打扮,所以才这么问。
