Chapter 451 Like a high mountain

 “What nonsense, there is a locust plague outside, everyone is hiding in the house, how dare you come out?” Du Huima became more and more angry as he thought about it.

 The family is like this, they never want her to be put in danger.

Du Wan was in a good mood and did not refute. She took off her cloak and put it on Du Huima's body, then pulled up her hood. This cloak originally belonged to Prince Consort Du. Therefore, he will not look smaller when wearing it.

  Du Consort was brushing away the incoming locusts, but failed to stop Du Wan in time, "Why did Wan Wan give me the cloak? Hurry up and put it on."

"Father, I don't need a cloak." Du Wan stopped Du Wan's attempt to return the cloak to her, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk, let's walk back."

This is not very far from the Princess Mansion.

 As long as you walk faster, you can get home in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Du Wan pulled Du Consort forward.

The people accompanying him quickly followed. In addition to the coachman, Du Liu and other guards, there was also Su Che.

Su Che kept waving away the incoming locusts with both hands, not forgetting to follow Prince Consort Du. Looking at the girl holding Du's consort, her back was clearly as slender as a mountain.

Du Prince Consort walked for a while and soon realized something was wrong.

 It is a locust flying towards him, which will suddenly fall before touching him.

He looked at the daughter who was protecting him. The locusts also suddenly fell before they pounced on her. The daughter met his eyes and suddenly smiled at him innocently.

  A bit silly!

Du Prince Consort is extremely soft-hearted.

The daughter's abilities are getting stronger, and she is very straightforward. Fortunately, she has family members to protect her, and the boy from the Pei family will watch over her in the future.

Du Prince Consort walked a little faster.

Passing by the carriage that had the accident, some people took off their outer robes and kept shaking locusts to clear the way. This was because locusts had pounced on the horse. The horse was stimulated and did not obey the coachman's instructions, which almost caused death. Fortunately, the guard of the family was strong and no casualties were caused.

 It can also temporarily block the road.

 The group of people returned to the house safely.

The eldest princess was worried. When she saw that the father and daughter were safe, she felt relieved and said, "Quickly, dust off the locusts on your body."

 When I opened the door, some locusts flew in.

The servants quickly went up to catch the locusts, killed them and put them away.

Du Wan poured a cup of tea to drink, and also brought a bowl to Du Wanma.

At this time, the eldest princess was worried again, "I wonder how Qian'er is doing."

"How old is he? Do you still need to worry about him?" Du Huima was not worried about his son's safety. "If a person who is about to get married can't even avoid a locust plague, can he still be expected to provide for him in the future?"

 “Hee hee.” Du Wan smiled, “Dad, don’t be afraid, I will support you if my eldest brother doesn’t support you.”

 “If you are interested, there is still your brother.”

“My brother is still a little kid, so don’t put pressure on him. It will hinder his growth.”

 “Ha, you’re the one who’s naughty.”

   …”

The eldest princess looked at the father and daughter talking angrily. This meant that she had become a bad person. It's right to think about it. My son is quite capable, and locusts are not venomous snakes or beasts.

Du Wan is also not worried about Du Qian.

 In her mind, her elder brother's ability to take advantage of him is much better than hers.

 The number of locusts in the city gradually decreased until the afternoon of the next day.

Locusts passed through the country, and the house was in a mess. Locust corpses could be seen everywhere. The green plants in the garden were in disarray, and the whole house needed to be cleaned.

 The servants in the mansion are busy.

Du Wan also ordered his subordinates to clean up Jade Spirit Garden.

 The locust plague has not completely passed. It’s just that there are fewer locusts in the city, but there are still many outside the city. After all, there are no crops in the city and it is not easy to find food.

Du Wan held a branch and poked the locusts on the ground.

“Princess, what are you doing?” Ningqin was so busy that she was sweating profusely. She turned around and saw Du Wan poking something on the ground.

Du Wan said: "I am studying what kind of locusts can be eaten."

“Can locusts still be eaten?” Ning Qin was horrified.

After hearing this, Luo Qi turned their heads and looked this way, "Princess, these are insects that cannot be eaten."

"Then you don't understand. It's so strange when you don't see it." Du Wan put on an incomprehensible expression, "I am an experienced person. I know that locusts are eaten in some places. They are also very crispy and delicious when fried. I heard that locusts are eaten in some places. There are different types of locusts, only some are edible and some are poisonous.”

Had she known she could travel through time, she should have researched it.

Ningqin and others didn't take it seriously. It was not the first day that the princess was acting strangely.

Du Wan waved a small branch and walked around the house, as if on patrol. After sneaking around for a while, he sneaked over to the eldest princess and teased the little kid for a while, "Mom, where is daddy?"

"I went to the Yamen early in the morning." The eldest princess felt helpless. "The locust plague in the suburbs has not yet passed, and it is difficult for him to relax recently."

"do you need my help?"

 “How can you help?”

 “I don’t know.” Du Wan is a wealthy and idle person.

As a princess, you don’t have to go to work or work, and you don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

The eldest princess knew that her daughter had too much time to spare. "Have you visited the princess's mansion? You should go and have a look. I don't know what kind of damage it has been to the locusts now."

 Du Wan: “…”

It’s true that she has never been there once since the Princess’s Mansion rewarded her. It is said that it used to be the Prince’s Mansion. Du Wan was about to go shopping.

Du Wan found the housekeeper and asked him to arrange some people to clean the princess' mansion.

Then, Du Wan put on neat riding clothes, hung a ring-headed sword around her waist, and started riding outside for a stroll. Behind him were hundreds of personal guards, all of whom were in high spirits and had serious faces.

 When ordinary people see it, they will take a detour and walk away from a distance.

Du Wan first strolled to the Yamen of Du's Consort, and learned that Du's Consort was too busy to touch the ground, so she did not bother him, and then slipped to the Yamen of the Imperial City Division, where she learned that Pei Hao had already led people out of the city for disaster relief.

Thinking of his farm, Du Wan turned towards the city gate.

Approaching the city gate, I unexpectedly saw Mu Si'an.

 There was a group of officers and soldiers behind him.

The group was covered in dust, some were injured, and some were covered in locusts.

Du Wan asked in surprise: "Mu Si'an, have you just come back from outside the city?"

"Princess, are you leaving the city?" Mu Si'an was very surprised, but when he thought about her leaving the city, he advised, "It's better not to leave the city for the time being. The situation in the city is better, but it is very bad outside."

Du Wan said: "I just want to take a look at the situation on the farm."

“Let’s take a better look tomorrow.” Mu Si’an reminded, “Anyway, the locusts are swarming, and it will take at least a day or two.”

 …”There’s nothing to be excited about.

 The reason is that the crops that can be harvested have been harvested early.

 But it’s her property, and she has to take a look around.

Thinking of property, Du Wan suddenly thought of a fiefdom, a broken village, and a huge windfall. Life was going so smoothly that she forgot all about it.

It’s been a year since the fiefdom was established, but why haven’t you seen the tax money yet? Did you feed the dog with silver?

Du Wan suddenly asked: "Where is Prince Pei?"

 “He—” is a little troublesome.
