Chapter 173: Anxious Waiting (13)

After arranging the things that came to mind, Ye Tianqing returned to the main courtyard.

Mother was already sitting in the courtyard in the sun, supported by roses and lilies.

The sun has been hot day by day in the past few days, and it is a little spicy on the body at noon, so Ye Mu only comes out to bask in the morning and evening when the sun is not hot.

"Mother, I just asked Li Zhuangtou and Peng Huwei to go to the town to buy people, so that there will be someone to help keep vigil at night, and I won't be afraid that someone will sneak into the village again." Sitting beside her mother, Ye Tianqing said to Ye Mu a little angrily.

"Qing'er, aren't you fooling around? How can there be such a buyer, I only bought someone yesterday, and I bought it today, so many people bought it back, how can we afford it in the future? You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. When Ye Mu heard this, she said with some reproach.

"Mother, didn't you say you should help others as much as possible? Then I'll buy more people back, and these people won't go hungry anymore, and it's also to help them. Ye Tianqing said coquettishly.

Originally, she should have discussed with her mother before deciding, but she knew that her mother would definitely not agree, but she had to buy it, so she simply cut it first and then played.

"Forget it, it's a disaster year, you should buy more people and accumulate good deeds, and when the next year is good, let's see how to arrange these people." At this point, Ye Mu did not object again, and she couldn't immediately send someone to chase after the town to stop it.

If this is the case, although it is possible to chase Li Zhuangtou and Peng Huwei back, but this backsliding order will greatly reduce her daughter's prestige, and Ye Mu, who has always loved her daughter like a jewel, will definitely not do this.

Ye Tianqing saw that her mother did not particularly object. I just talked to her happily.

On the one hand, she explained her arrangements for the newly bought people, and on the other hand, she also asked her mother some questions about how to manage these people.

After all, whether she was in the Ye Mansion before she was reborn, or after marrying into the Qi family, she had never officially managed the house, and she was not too familiar with the housekeeper, so it was inevitable that some things would be wrong.

The two talked for a while, the sun slowly rose, and Ye Mu felt hot and went back to the room. And Ye Tianqing took Purple Butterfly and Huang Li out of the door.

Came to the house that had been arranged for those who bought it yesterday. Ye Tianqing only saw the three youngest children.

When I asked the mother-in-law who was cleaning up there, I learned that the older boys had gone to help build the courtyard wall, while the girls had followed the women of the village up the hill to dig wild vegetables.

"Let's go up the hill and have a look." In fact. As soon as Ye Tianqing arrived in Yejiazhuang, he knew that the people in the village had been digging wild vegetables everywhere a long time ago.

It's just that previous years are not disaster years. The villagers also go digging wild vegetables after the beginning of spring. First, you can add a vegetable, and secondly, you can mix wild vegetables with grain and cook them together, which can save some grain.

This year, it is impossible to have a harvest in the fields. Where the villagers will be idle at home, they will naturally look for food everywhere.

For those who live next to Daqing Mountain, the first thing that comes to mind is of course for women to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and for men to go into the mountains to hunt.

After Ye Tianqing came, he asked for a courtyard wall, and the men in the village stayed, while the women and children still went into the mountains every day to dig wild vegetables.

This is also one of the reasons why Ye Tianqing saw that the slopes were all naked when he entered the mountain last time.

In the nearby hills, not only have the wild vegetables been dug up, but the weeds have been cut back by the villagers who lack food at home to satisfy their hunger.

In order to find more edible things, the villagers have already had to go deeper into the mountains.

Fortunately, men have been hunting in the mountains lately, and the wild animals in the mountains have either been killed or fled deeper into the mountains, so that nothing has happened to the women and children who have gone deep into the mountains.

Ye Tianqing wanted to enter the mountain, and although the Lin guards who learned the news knew that their young lady's kung fu was not weak, they still sent two guards to accompany him.

"Okay, then let's go together, and I'll bother Guard Lao Lin to send someone to talk to my mother, and say that I may not be able to come back at noon to have dinner with her, and let her eat first." The back and forth was too delayed, and Ye Tianqing directly led people up the mountain.

If she had gone back to talk to her mother herself, she would have to delay for at least half an hour, and she would have been able to walk a lot in half an hour.

On the surface, this is the second time she has entered the mountain, counting the one that night, this is the third time she has entered Daqing Mountain, so this time, the five people did not look at the nearby mountains one by one, but identified a direction and walked directly towards the mountain.

With Purple Butterfly and Huang Li here, of course everyone's walking speed will not be too fast, but Ye Tianqing can't do it, if they are not allowed to follow, they will not have the opportunity to exercise, and she herself does not want to face her mother's preaching.

Up and down the mountain, there is no special scenery on these hills, and the five of them have been walking forward except for resting, and one hillside after another has been left behind by them.

By the time they climbed the fifth mountain, Purple Butterfly and Yellow Bird had already lost their breath and used their hands and feet together. As soon as the two of them arrived at the top of the mountain, they couldn't take care of Ye Tianqing at all, so they immediately found a clean stone and sat down.

"Miss, no, the slave can't climb anymore, let's go back in a while." Zi Die wiped the sweat on her face with a handkerchief, and said to Ye Tianqing weakly, she felt that even if she walked on flat ground, she couldn't walk half a step, and when she thought of going back, she would have to climb over so many mountains, she felt even more weak, where was the excitement when she first went up the mountain.

Ye Tianqing just smiled slightly, and turned to look at Huang Li: "What about you?" ”

"Miss, the slave and maid can't walk anymore, and the slave and maid are afraid that they won't be able to go back for a while." Huang Li also gasped and replied with a wry smile.

Ye Tianqing chuckled, looked at the appearance of the purple butterfly and the yellow bird, and then said slowly: "I think, in the future, you don't want to walk in the yard, it's better to walk up the mountain for an hour every day, I believe that the effect of this exercise is better." ”

"Climb the mountain for an hour every day?" When the two of them heard this, they immediately exclaimed.

Walking in the yard for half an hour every day makes them tired, and if they change to climbing the mountain every day, and an hour a day, Purple Butterfly and Yellow Oriole dare not think about it.

"Actually, what Miss said is right, this mountain climbing is more able to exercise people than walking on flat ground, and when we first learned martial arts, Master also asked us to climb the mountain every day." Qian Dakui, the escort who came with him, said with a rough laugh.

"Yes, although the little one didn't learn from a teacher or climb a mountain, my father made me squat every day when I was very young, walking and running with sandbags tied to my legs." Ding Zhongping, who came with him, also nodded and said.

"Miss, don't worry, the slave will insist on climbing the mountain for an hour every day." Hearing the two guards say this, and knowing that if they didn't work hard, it would be difficult for them to stay by their young lady's side in the future, Purple Butterfly and Huang Li immediately said.
