Chapter 1174 - 1174: The Emperor’s Harvest
Yuwen Longyan held a large sickle and a small sickle. His eyes narrowed) and his expression was serious as if he was thinking deeply.
Lin Yuelan didn’t disturb him.
A moment later, Yuwen Longyan asked,” How do I use this?”
Lin Yuelan took out a small sickle from the basket and went into the field. She bent over and said,” Hold a rice stalk with your left hand first. Tilting the sickle slightly to the left, you can then cut at this place under your hand. Remember,
this small sickle is very sharp, so you don’t need to use too much force!”
After Eunuch Zhang fell in the field, Lin Yuelan asked him to go back and change his clothes, but he refused.
It was very normal for people who worked in the fields to have mud on their bodies.
Since he had already accompanied the Emperor, he would not be pretentious.
Eunuch Zhang and Yuwen Longyan copied Lin Yuelan’s actions and bent down to cut the rice.
However, the two of them were both people who lived like kings. As soon as their hands went down, they were cut.
Eunuch Zhang widened his eyes and immediately shouted in shock)” Your… Master!”
Yuwen Longyan glared sharply at Eunuch Zhang and scolded him again,” Butler Zhang, if you keep making such a fuss, get lost!”
The so-called ‘get lost’ was to get someone to send him back to the capital.
Eunuch Zhang immediately shut his mouth. Then, he carefully said,” But, Old Master, the injury on your hand…”
When had His Majesty ever been injured and bloody?
That was why he was so worried.
Yuwen Longyan frowned slightly and looked at the wound on the back of his hand. Then, he looked at the hands of these workers. There were scars on them.
He immediately said,” It’s fine!”
If these farmers could take such a small injury, why couldn’t he?
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan looked at the wound on the old Emperor’s arm and frowned slightly.
Perhaps it didn’t matter to others if they suffered such minor injuries, but this was the ruler of a country after all. He had never been injured or suffered.
Jiang Zhennan glanced at Lin Yuelan, then said to Yuwen Longyan hesitantly,”
Master Wen, do you want to treat your wound first?”
Yuwen Longyan waved his hand and immediately said,” It’s fine! When I was young, I had been through many things and had experienced many injuries.
Therefore, these injuries were not a big deal.”
Hearing the Emperor’s words, Jiang Zhennan recalled that when the Emperor was young, he had been on the battlefield and killed enemies. He had been covered in wounds of all sizes.
Therefore, such a small wound was indeed not a big deal.
Jiang Zhennan nodded at Lin Yuelan before shaking his head.
Lin Yuelan nodded. Then, she smiled and said,” Grandpa Wen, how about this? I’ll bandage your hand with gauze. This way, you won’t be cut by the rice leaves or sickle again.”
Yuwen Longyan didn’t refuse.
Although it was a small injury, it would also make people worry.
Lin Yuelan bandaged Yuwen Longyan’s hands, but it didn’t affect the movement of his fingers.
Lin Yuelan was speechless when she saw Eunuch Zhang’s eager look.
Then, he bandaged Eunuch Zhangs hands.
Eunuch Zhang said gratefully and excitedly,” Thank you, Miss Lin!”
Everyone in the Lin Family Garden addressed Lin Yuelan as Mistress while the elders usually addressed her as “Girl or Girl Lan “. As for the guests or servants, they all addressed her as ” Miss Lin ” !
Although Eunuch Zhang was the Emperor’s subordinate, he was also just a servant.
However, Lin Yuelan still took good care of the old man. She shook her head and persuaded him,” Butler Zhang, why don’t you take a rest on the ridge?” Eunuch Zhang jumped in fright and said,” Miss Lin, I can’t!”
There was no such thing as a master working while a servant was resting. No matter what, he had to work with His Majesty.
Lin Yuelan also knew that the ancients had a serious concept of hierarchy. Therefore, she did not persuade him further.
Yuwen Longyan tried both kinds of scythes. After a moment, he felt that the small scythe was much better than the sickle.
First of all, it was small in size, so it was much easier for people to hold it in their hands.
Secondly, its teeth were sharp. With a single slash, a handful of rice stalks were cut off. The scythe looked sharp, but it was not affected by the force. It needed to be used two or three times before it could be completely cut. Finally, it was really inconvenient to cut rice with a big sickle. It would be very tiring after a while..
