After some hard work, leaving Tadajiro to appease the excited people, Masarashi quietly came to the test field he had established. What was once a simple fence has now been replaced by a rough wooden fence more than 2 meters high, and the lush vines have climbed all over the fence, but the vines are clearly regularly tended and appear dense and orderly. At the entrance to the field, there is a wooden gate made of wood, and on either side of the wooden gate are two ashigaru guards who are in charge. When the two ashigaru saw Masashi coming, they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The training of all the soldiers in the territory has been inspected by Masashi, and under the propaganda of the military eye, these ashigaru people know that the lord in front of them is their food and clothing, and his orders are above all else.

Leaving 20 low-ranking samurai outside, and signaling the two ashigaru not to be polite, Masarashi gently pushed open the wooden door and entered the small farm that he hadn't been to for a long time. Before he began to take a serious look at the situation in the field, Masashi was attracted by a sound of hens, and turned his head to look, it turned out to be a large pheasant cage set up by himself. Masara smiled slightly, turned back and continued to check on the situation in other places.

The fields that were still vacant at the beginning are now overgrown with sweet potatoes, and the vines of the sweet potatoes seem to have just been cut, so it is obvious that Matsumiko has continued to increase the cultivation area of sweet potatoes after cutting the vines according to Masayo's request. The soybean and the melon of the side are also growing well. Looking at the corn that is already more than one person tall, the plants are stout, green and dense, obviously caused by enough fertilizer, and I think that the wild boar manure and large fish offal that I worked hard to find at the beginning have been converted into fertilizer under the corn field. Masara walked quickly to the cornfield, and was about to take a closer look, when suddenly a man came out of the corn and collided with Masa. The visitor was visibly startled and let out a woman's characteristic exclamation.

Masarashi immediately held up the frightened and frightened person who was about to fall backwards, and looked at it, and it turned out to be Matsumiko. Matsumiko also saw the person clearly at this time, obviously surprised, and at the same time blushing, thinking carefully, it seems that it is not the first time that she has bumped into the arms of the lord. Masara didn't send anyone to inform the people in the backyard of the mansion when he came back this time, so Matsumiko was also very happy to see Masayo's appearance suddenly. The two of them didn't speak for a while, just kept the posture of pulling and supporting, Masashi felt that this beautiful woman was really cute, and held the left hand on Matsumiko's waist and forced, ready to pull her up completely, but he didn't expect the other party's body to be so light, plus Matsumiko's face was red and defenseless at the moment, accompanied by another woman's exclamation, Matsumiko's whole person suddenly fell completely into Masaliang's arms, and the two who were originally at a certain distance were completely close contact at this moment, Masara even felt the heat of a woman's breath coming from under his neck, his nose was full of a woman's unique smell, and there were bursts of heat from the other party on his body.

"Ahh "Are you here to tend the fields? Why are you the only one? Masato calmed down his restless mood and asked.

"It's... Yes, Your Highness", Matsumiko's voice was clearly still trembling due to nervousness, and it was extremely quiet, "Hara... Originally, there were two people, and they had just gone out to mow the grass and prepare to feed the rabbits. ”

It seems that this beautiful woman is really dutiful, "Well, you can take a break, I'll go over there and have a look", Masarashi pointed in the direction of the pigsty, and then said. Hearing Masa's footsteps gradually moving away, Matsumiko finally slowly raised her bright red face, and her whole body instantly softened. …,

"Have you already moulted?" Looking at the guys in the pigsty who completely faded from their original wild boar coat color and replaced them with obvious adult wild boar hard hairs and fangs that began to be exposed, Masara was very surprised, these wild boars grew fast enough. I hope they don't inherit the fierce character of their predecessors, otherwise the fence of the pigsty will be strengthened again, and the feeding personnel will not be able to enter the pigsty. The closer you get to the pigsty, the thicker the rice grows, and the darker the plant color, looking at these rice, Masara even has the illusion of returning to the rice fields of later generations.

After checking everything in the field, Masara quickly returned to the wooden door, at this time Matsumiko had already stood up, and her clothes were tidied up, and when she saw Masaka coming, she hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, and her face, which had finally regained her calm, turned red again.

"Let's go", Masarashi didn't notice the change in Matsumiko's expression, and said with a smile, "Let's go back." Then he took the lead in opening the wooden door and walked out of the door. Matsumiko answered "yes" in a low voice, and then, like a little daughter-in-law, followed Masayo out of the country with her head down.

Everyone outside the door saw that the lord had brought a beautiful mistress after a while when he entered, and they all admired the lord in their hearts, and the lord was really a model among my generation.

Under the escort of 20 ashigaru, Masara took his maid Matsumiko and his small surname Yoshinomaru to the foot of Notaka Mountain, and as for the other small surname Xingoro, Masarashi had just allowed him to take a day off and go home for a reunion. And Tadajiro, who had pacified the people, had been waiting here for a while. Looking at the newly renovated avenue at the foot of the mountain, about 5 meters wide, leading directly to the lord's mansion on Nodakayama, Masayo was amazed, this is a miracle.

Seeing Masayo's surprised expression, Tadajiro smiled slightly, and then reported, "Your Highness, after learning that you are going to build a straight road from the lord's mansion to here, nearly 1,000 people in Notaka Village have joined the conscription of the open road, and this road has been built in less than half a month, and now in addition to digging deep into the canals on both sides required by His Highness and continuing to level the road, this road leading directly to the lord's mansion is basically completed. ”

"Hmm", after listening to Tadajiro's introduction, Masarashi nodded, and his heart was also moved, "Find a few people to come and erect a stone monument at the entrance of the avenue, this avenue will be called Thanksgiving Road in the future, and the story of this avenue will also be engraved on the stone monument." ”

"Yes, Your Highness", Tadajiro couldn't help but applaud at the lord's thoughts.

After less than a quarter of an hour of walking along the avenue that led straight to the mansion, Masara soon reached the entrance to the valley, and the four Ashigaru who were in charge of guarding the entrance knelt down and saluted. Quickly pass through the manicured slits and finally enter the valley. Most of the people who originally lived here have moved to the village of Nodaka, and the rest are the families of the retainers of the Masashi family and the families of the people in the secret workshop. The buildings in the valley were also re-planned, and according to Masayo's requirements, the flat land in the valley was divided into five areas, on the left side was a field along a stream, next to the field was the village, and on the right side of the village was a field, and on the other side of the valley was the military camp and the school field. The Lord's Mansion is located on a hill in the middle of the valley, and behind the hill is the lord's private garden.

After placing 20 low-ranking samurai in the barracks, Masarashi hurried back to the lord's mansion with Matsumiko and Yoshinomaru. At this time, everyone in the mansion had already received the notice of Zhengliang's return and waited in front of the gate early. The first thing that caught Masa's eye was Togo Ju standing at the front, the little girl stood there quietly, looking at the demeanor, although she was still young, she was already very ladylike. Next to Dongxiang Ju is the little girl Tian Miko who is like a bird. Behind Togo Ju, there were cranes and butterflies with their heads bowed and at a loss, and the two little girls obviously did not adapt to the position they were standing. The last is the newly recruited cook lady in the lord's mansion and the two ashigaru who are in charge of guarding the door. The newly recruited chef was a family member of Ashigaru who died in battle with the Kogi family and the Fujiwara family, and Togo Kikusaku recruited her as a full-time chef in the mansion, becoming the first person in the true sense of the word in the lord's mansion. …,

"Your Highness", everyone saluted when they saw Zhengliang returning.

"Big brother", the little girl who had been hiding behind Dongxiang Ju also recognized Zhengliang at this time, and immediately ran over happily. Zhengliang smiled slightly, hugged the little girl, and asked, "Oda Mei, have you been learning words seriously recently?" ”

"Yes, my sister taught me the Three Character Sutra", the little girl said seriously, "The eldest brother said that if you learn the Three Character Sutra, you will have big fish to eat." Big brother, those big fish are big, big, and there are a lot of big fish. There are one, two, three ......" Zhengliang, who was originally very happy, almost stumbled when he heard the words behind the little girl. It turns out that this little girl is eating steamed fish? Running to the pond every day to count the bubbling fish? Zhengliang was completely defeated by this little girl, but he was also moved by her innocence, and finally said, "Well, today we eat big fish." ”

When the little girl heard that there was finally a big fish to eat, she immediately danced in Masahiro's arms, which scared Matsumiko behind her nervously, for fear of angering Masashi.

Just do it, Zhengliang took the little girl to catch a big fish from a very shallow pond, these big fish are usually caught by the villagers using Zhengliang's original fishing method, and the most Lu was specially given to Zhengliang, because there are too many, Zhengliang simply raised those who did not die in the pond of the mansion. After the ingredients were ready, Masarashi went to the kitchen to make a steamed fish and several poached eggs from eggs from the small farm. The rest of the dishes are handled by the cook.

The cook who saw the lord for the first time was completely frightened, and she had not recovered from her surprise until all the dishes were ready. She had never heard of the lord being able to cook, but today she saw it with her own eyes. After setting up all the dishes and bowing to Masayo, she went to find her son Yoshinomaru in the outer courtyard. In fact, at this moment, she is not only happy that her son has found a good job, but also worried, the lord's appearance makes people wonder if there is a problem with the brain, and the future is really unpredictable with such a master.

Dinner was served on the grass in the courtyard, so it was a picnic. In the past, when I was at home, I used to do this, but it was at noon when the weather was refreshing, and today because the sun had not yet set, and I hadn't eaten with everyone for a long time (if I went back to the wooden house, the lord was usually waited by a maid to eat alone), so Masarashi simply decided to have dinner on the grass in the courtyard.

The little girl is still the same, hanging next to Zhengliang like a little koala, and then eating it in a big gulp. Today's meal was more luxurious than ever, with rice for the first time Masato had eaten since he arrived, the main dish was Masayo's own steamed fish and a few poached eggs, and the side dish was several pieces of bacon (sun-dried wild boar) and a plate of wild vegetables. Since the pheasants below have just begun to lay eggs, the eggs in the mansion can only be eaten when Masashi is there.

The sun is setting, the cool breeze is blowing, the surroundings are even more beautiful and delicious, and Zhengliang is also appetizing. Togo Kiku, Matsumiko, Tsuru, and Butterfly may have been infected by the surrounding scenery, or because of the joy of Masayo's return, they let go of their previous reserves and appeared to be much more active. Looking at the people around him, Masahiro seemed to have found a sense of home.

After dinner, under the service of all the maids, Masayo took a beautiful bath and went to bed early. After nearly a month of fighting, running around and thinking hard, I was so tired that I soon fell asleep. Of course, the retainers are also very knowledgeable, and Lord Zhilu Dao has just come back and needs to rest, so he didn't come to disturb him.
