Chapter 43: In the Small Courtyard

After all, Yahan is pregnant, and after this night's toss, she is already tired. Ran hurriedly settled her in the east wing to rest, but he was a little excited and not tired.

Although the person who answered didn't know each other, and this small courtyard was not private property, it was finally a temporary nest for himself and Yahan. There are no more crowds of palace people around staring at their words and deeds. In this market, compared to the heavy palace, there is no need to worry about it all day long, and it is not used to kneel and knock. Although we have to plan from scratch for the days ahead, we have no fear.

Free!

With an oil lamp in his hand, he went to the west wing to check it out. In the house, as Gu San said, all the things for firewood, rice, oil and salt have been prepared, and even some civilian-style washing and changing clothes have been prepared for the two of them. There are hundreds of taels of silver tickets in the drawer, and I know that I have often lingered in the market of the Luan Dynasty with Bizhu, and I also know the approximate price, and I know that now I am quite rich with these hundreds of taels of silver tickets.

Looking at the corner of the room full of jerky, dried meat and vegetables, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Although Gu San is careful, he is still a big man in the end. Now that Yahan is pregnant, fresh food for daily consumption is indispensable, and this dried meat and vegetables are enough for ordinary people, but it is not suitable for the two of them.

After a general understanding of the belongings in the house, he estimated in his heart what things he had to go out to buy, and then returned to the east wing to rest. This sleep is almost the most stable after coming to the Eagle Country.

When I woke up in the morning, the sun was shining all over the room, but the couch opposite was empty, thinking that Yahan had already gotten up. The noise in the market outside the courtyard was faintly audible, and if I listened carefully, I could hear the voices of women and vegetable vendors bargaining. It is estimated that there is a vegetable market not far from the courtyard, which shows that it is convenient to go out to procure.

This noisy voice made Ran unconsciously refreshed, and a little joy was faintly boiling in his heart. She stretched her muscles lazily and walked out of the room, but she heard Yahan's joyful voice: "My sister is awake?" You see, this courtyard has everything! ”

Seeing that Yahan's face was full of joy, she must also be happy to live this kind of ordinary life in the market. Thinking about it, the two of them were originally square girls, and their fate was not up to them, but now it is rare to steal a little freedom, and I don't think it is easy.

And looked into the courtyard according to Yahan's point, and was overjoyed.

Last night, I blamed Gu San and the others for not thinking about it, but now I look at this small courtyard, there are a few stubbles of vegetables planted neatly. There is also a chicken coop in the corner of the yard, and a few hens with a flock of chicks are leisurely strolling. Under the poplar tree in the courtyard, there is also a sheep tied, although I can't tell what breed it is, but it is estimated that it can be used for milking. There is also a small pool under the tree in the west of the courtyard, in which several fish are swimming happily, which makes it happy to see it.

In this way, in addition to the slight inconvenience of eating meat, fresh ingredients such as milk, eggs, fish, and vegetables do not have to worry. It's really greedy, and it's not difficult to slaughter a chick once in a while for a tooth sacrifice.

In fact, when she arrived last night, she also heard the voices of some animals, but after all, she had never touched these poultry and livestock, and mistakenly thought they were neighbors. Looking at it now, I just feel that this small courtyard is more like a small home with no worries about food and clothing, and I am really excited.

If you want to talk about this green vegetable, it is clear that when she was in Liuyuan, she also helped Mama Yao to serve, so it must be not difficult to get these vegetable fields. The hen should be fed some ingredients, as for the sheep, not to mention that she has not thought about how to feed it, just milking, I am afraid that you will have to think about it.

"I'm afraid my sister is hungry, right? Then I went to cook. She went to the vegetable patch, skillfully picked a few handfuls of greens, and then went to the chicken coop to probe, and when she saw that there were already a few eggs in them, she happily took them out. Let's eat something simple this morning, but it's fresh! ”

In fact, she never learned cooking in this life, and when she lived in Willow Garden, Mama Yao was afraid that she would make her skin thicker, so she never let her enter the kitchen. But she thought that with the experience of her previous life, it should be no problem to cook some simple meals.

Now I have a lot of energy, and the noodles are also handy, and it doesn't take a while to work hard, and the noodles, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and cooking noodles will be done in one go. She was afraid of choking Yahan and wouldn't let her enter the kitchen. It's just that Yahan was full of interest, so she watched from the side.

Although it was just a simple pasta meal, it was so skillful that Yahan was dazzled and admired.

The two of them each have a bowl of eggs and green vegetable noodles, and they have a simple table and chairs in the kitchen, which can be regarded as a meal.

"It smells so good!" After Yahan tasted it, he smiled with a smile.

"Sister is not confused, I have never eaten any delicacies in the palace, but now it is rare to eat noodles!" After all, I quickly tasted it, and sure enough, I felt that it tasted good, and sighed in my heart, I really didn't want to be a nobleman. While laughing, he somehow remembered that Yinghao was holding a roasted yamba in the mountains that day, and it was difficult to swallow, if he saw the food in front of him, I am afraid that he would frown......

Obviously, the two of them didn't gobble it up, but they both ate their noodles, and their hearts were even more happy.

After the meal, I was busy all morning, and finally got the milking technique. When she saw that there was hay in the kitchen, she tried to feed the lamb, and saw that it was eating very happily, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.

At noon, I stewed a fish soup for Yahan, steamed some jerky, and added a fried green vegetable, and the two of them ate it deliciously.

After a few days like this, the two of them lived very comfortably. Yahan also dismantled and changed the clothes that the two of them were not wearing, and actually drove out a few infantile clothes, which was very interesting to watch.

Ran now regrets that he was too lazy that day and did not inherit Bizhu's medical skills, otherwise he would have been able to do a routine prenatal check-up for Yahan, and now he can only hope that everything will go smoothly for Yahan.

Taking advantage of the night, I have already gone out to explore a few times and take a look at the surrounding situation. Speculating from the layout of the house, it is clear that the two of them now live near the suburbs. Outside the courtyard is an alley, and there are still seven or eight families living there. Although there are markets in the surrounding area, they are not the same as the prosperity of the city center.

There is still a carriage parked in the courtyard now, although it looks a little shabby, but after a quick inspection, I saw that the car was very sturdy inside and out, and I was worried about when Yahan was bored, so I used this car to take her out for a walk. Presumably with a silk scarf to cover their faces, no one can see the difference in the appearance of the two.

After a few days of observation, I felt more and more that the two of us were already very rich compared to the neighbors in this alley. Children in the neighborhood are often scolded by their parents for stealing food from their families, and they can't bear to hear it. Presumably, those parents are not stingy with food, but they are just having a hard time.

Thinking that it is impossible for the two of them to live here for a long time, and now the family has sufficient reserves of dried meat, vegetables and other things, so he often does some "helping" at night and secretly puts down some food at the neighbor's house. The next day, I was overjoyed when I heard the surprise of my neighbors at the discovery of something "unknown".

After about half a month, both of them felt that life was very comfortable.

On that day, Yahan was basking in the sun under the tree, and he was watering a few stubbles of greens, but he heard a different noise in the alley outside the courtyard.

Knowing that he had a sense of ominousness, he quietly walked to the gate of the courtyard, put his ear on the door, and listened carefully to the movement outside, but heard what the neighbors in the alley were talking about.

"Those soldiers are fierce, but they frighten me! My mother's house was turned into a mess by them, but my eldest brother dared not speak out. A woman said in a colorful voice, and the surrounding neighborhood was full of discussions.

"They're not going to come to us, are they?" An old woman's vocal cords asked worriedly.

"It's hard to say, now the center of the city has been searched by them, and the royal guards are searching the outskirts of the city, I heard that they have to search door to door, and no one can escape." The former woman replied.

"Amitabha, it's really evil. If you want me to say, how can the nobles in the palace come to our poor country to suffer! Someone next to him read.

"It's not, but just in case, I'll send my little grandson to his aunt's house in Licheng to hide for a few days, don't be scared by those officials and old men at that time!" As soon as the old woman said this, the neighbors echoed it, saying that they would send the young children away for a few days.

The neighbors chatted for a while, and as if they had agreed on a way to deal with it, they all dispersed.

Hearing this, it was like pouring cold water, and the mood that was hot a few days ago suddenly cooled down again. I think this peaceful day is coming to an end again.

Seeing this, Yahan's face was worried, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened outside?" "She's just an ordinary person, and it's hard to hear what everyone in the alley is saying.

Ran said what his neighbors said to Yahan, and Yahan was a little more dignified on his face.

"The Eagle Emperor is still unwilling to fulfill me!" Yahan sighed, "I'm afraid he also knows that I am inconvenient now, and I must still be hiding in this capital." But what should we do now? ”

After thinking for a moment, according to the neighbor's words, the officers and soldiers are now searching from house to house, and the two of them are hiding here, and they will not be able to hide from it. However, listening to the meaning of their words, the officers and men were afraid that they would not be able to find this remote place in the past two days, and it was not impossible for the two of them to escape first, but it was difficult for them to escape to where they would flee.

"Sister, don't panic, I'll go to the Desheng pawnshop that Gu San said at night to investigate, and see if I can contact Gu San, maybe they can help us think of a way."

Yahan sighed lightly, "Now that's all it can be!" "On this day's dinner, the two of them ate a little boring.

That night, after comforting Yahan to sleep, he changed into his clothes and went to the city. Nadesheng pawnshop is located in Xicheng, and it is clear that its specific location has been explored as a precaution. To say that the pawnshop is not too far from the current suburban courtyard.

Because the night was dark, there were no pedestrians on the road, so I didn't have too many scruples, and I walked fast.

It's just that when he was about to arrive at the Desheng pawnshop, he suddenly faintly felt that there were vague low voices in the night. The speaker had clearly lowered his voice, but he still hadn't escaped his ears.

Aware of this, he flew up to a roof and quietly moved to the vicinity of the pawnshop, but found that there were some martial arts practitioners hidden around the street, and he was afraid that it was a secret whistle. When I looked at the door of the pawnshop from a distance, I saw that there seemed to be a seal on the door, and I was shocked.

According to the current situation, I am afraid that some of Gu San's others have been exposed, at least this pawnshop is no longer a safe place. It's just that now there are so many secret sentinels lurking nearby, could it be that they are waiting for themselves and Yahan to fall into the net?

I didn't dare to come to the door again, although I lost the only hope, but looking at the current situation, I can only make my own plans!
