Zhao Ming couldn't convince Zhao Song, and Zhao Song couldn't gain Zhao Ming's approval, so the father and son parted unhappily.
Despite the unpleasant discussion, Zhao Ming still had to accompany them on a land inspection the next day.
It was the peak of the summer harvest season, so there were people everywhere in the fields harvesting wheat.
Zhao Hanzhang, wearing a veiled hat and riding a horse, refused to wear it properly; she lifted the veil, exposing most of her face, allowing her eyes to meet those of the laborers in the fields as she looked down.
Zhao Song, who didn't like horseback riding, went directly in an ox cart. He called out to Zhao Hanzhang, who was walking beside the cart, and asked, "How is the wheat harvest in Shangcai? I see that it's going to rain in a few days. We need to hurry up and harvest."
Zhao Hanzhang replied, "It's all harvested. The farmers are currently preparing the land to plant beans."
Zhao Song was surprised, "So fast?"
