"Someone came from Yuanwai Villa, who came, and said what was the matter?"

"The owner of the village, a few old women came, saying that they are all the wives of the staff, and they are also the current directors of the Yuanwai Villa, and they are here to ask for help."

"Yes, there are more people who died there than us, and the corpses are now piled up in the villa, and the court is not allowed to mourn or leave the village, and now it stinks the whole villa, come to us and ask us to help dispose of those corpses."

"Ye Xuan, Zhen'er, it's right to help each other, does the old farmer's wife know?"

"I've already called someone to inform me, but the old lady may not have gotten up at this hour."

"Grandpa Langzhong, has there been a precedent for this before?"

"There is no villa for the villa, and when the villagers are busy farming, it is common for the villagers to help each other farm the land, but it costs silver."

"Owner, Zhen'er, I think this thing is feasible, but we are short of silver." Ye Xuan thought about it and said.

"Yes, the old owner of Yuanwai Villa bought and sold a lot of silver, and in this sensitive period, there was no help in vain. Lao Langzhong agreed with Ye Xuan's idea, even the old owner's wife must also agree. ”

"Okay, then let's go to the people from the Villa."

When the three girls arrived, the old owner's wife was already chatting happily with the lady of the Outer Villa. Seeing Yuqing and them coming in, the old farmer's wife hurriedly introduced them.

"This is Miss Yuqing, the new owner of our Qi Villa, and those two are the assistants of the owner. Born in troubled times, a girl was lonely, so she found two assistants for the little owner. Lao Langzhong and I are helping young people, and the big idea still has to be decided by the owner. ”

"Old lady, you also got up so early, you were also very tired yesterday and should rest more."

"Yuqing, I've always been worried about the affairs of the Eighth Courtyard, how can I sleep peacefully. You are the best child, you are the apprentice of the old man and still hiding, so that I am worried and happy, these are the ladies of the old man, who came to our villa to ask for help. ”

"I've seen Mrs. Wai, Yuqing helped the midwife deliver the eighth lady last night, and I haven't had time to change my clothes yet, so I ask Mrs. Wai for forgiveness." Ye Yuqing said after bowing generously to a few old women.

"Little farmer, where is there an old man, he has been cautious all his life, and in the end he has not died well, leaving us widows, to support a villa, it is really bottomless in his heart. I heard that you cremated those who died, and today I came to see that there was no air in the villa, and the air was refreshing, little farmer, you are a capable girl. ”

"Mrs. Waiwai's praise is a matter of the whole village's efforts, and our girls are newborn calves who are not afraid of things, and have thought of a way that is not possible. Fortunately, with the support of the old owner's wife and Langzhong's grandfather, this matter was successfully completed. Yuqing is still afraid, I'm really afraid that this thing will be done inappropriately and alarm the government. Yuqing said humbly, and gave the credit to everyone, and the old owner's wife respected Yuqing more in her heart, and she was a girl who could achieve great things.

"Little farmer, a few of us are here today, one is to ask for advice, and the other is to ask for help. Seventy percent of the men and women in our villa died together, and the rest were all powerless women. In a few days, it will be the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, and the corpses of the villa are stinky, and if you don't deal with the beginning of spring, you have to make a plague, so our villa will not exist. ”

"Mrs. Waiwai, our two villas live next to each other, and it is appropriate to help each other, but it's just ......" Yu Qingzheng was interrupted by the other party as he pondered what to say.

"Little owner, don't do it, we spent money to hire you to help, when we came, a few of us discussed, this is 10,000 taels of silver tickets is really a bit out of hand, to the palace to repair the palace staff outside the villa apportioned 20,000 taels, just thinking that the silver to the court can bless the villa a few points, I didn't expect to send the silver and put in so many people's lives. Alas! Troubled times. ”

"Mrs. Waiwai, if this silver is placed in ordinary times, we will never be able to accept it, and we will also take out 10,000 taels of silver for the imperial court to repair the palace. The foundation of our mountain villa can't catch up with you, and now it's even more stretched. We were cheeky enough to take the money. The owner of Yuqing Village, go and inform them that the gong has summoned them to come here for a meeting, and the wages of each person who goes to help are twenty taels of silver. "The old farmer's wife is really afraid that Yuqing will help people in vain, and the greedy people will do it by themselves. took out a small part of the silver to the villagers, and the majority of the villa was left, which just solved the problem of buying seeds for spring ploughing.

"The old owner's wife, the wife of the staff, the younger generation is better to be respectful than to obey the fate." Ye Yuqing took the silver ticket with an embarrassed face, and admired the old owner's wife in her heart for doing things transparently.

On the other side, Zhen'er had already gone out to inform the villagers. A few of the wives of the staff also stood up and said goodbye, saying that they would go back and wait.

"Madame Wai, we'll be there later.

"Yuqing, when did you learn to diagnose people and deliver children, you are too reckless, when I heard this, my heart was in my throat. Several foreign ladies are sitting here, and I have no choice but to call you an apprentice in the old man, Yuqing, now that the court is changing rapidly, we all have to be cautious. Lao Langzhong, when Mrs. Ben says it, you can take the name of a master. Seeing a few foreign ladies walking out of the villa, Ye Xuan and Zhen'er also went to gather the villagers, and the old owner's wife said a little blamed.

"Madam, on the way here, I have already accepted Yuqing's child as an apprentice, in fact, the apprentice's medical skills are still above my nominal master. What does it matter who she learned, she is now our owner and that's enough. I'm not old and confused, ma'am, this matter still depends on you. ”

"Lao Langzhong, what you said, the villa is now stormy, Yuqing, this kid can take over the big trouble of the owner, and I sleep happily. Yuqing, don't ask who you learned from, Mrs. Ben, in the future, no, you have secretly studied with Lao Langzhong a long time ago. "The old farmer's wife and the old man said one by one, and Yuqing, who listened, felt a trace of guilt in his heart, the truth can't be said, then it can only be a lie.

"Mrs. Lao Zhuang, grandfather Langzhong, Yuqing once saved an old woman on the mountain behind, when the old woman was recuperating from her injury, Yuqing sent her food every day, she told Yuqing about medical science, maybe Yuqing is smarter than others, the old woman talked a lot, including the knowledge of giving birth to women. At that time, my aunt had just given birth to Ye Jing, and no one took Yuqing out, so Yuqing ran to the back mountain every day, and my cousin trained me many times for this matter. The eighth lady was born prematurely, and the fetal position was not correct, and Yuqing was also anxious to get started with a small life. Fortunately, she did not embarrass the old woman, and the eighth lady and her son were safe. Yuqing said a little worriedly, no one can help but believe it, everyone knows how much the couple in the sixth courtyard love Yuqing, what Yuqing says, it is not strange if there is any adventure.

"You kid, who knew that you would still heal people after so many years of inconspicuousness. Your aunt and uncle's tone is also tight, don't talk about the old woman in the future, you are my old man's apprentice, I hope that I, the old man, will not insult your medical skills. ”

"Master, I still have a lot to learn, now the imperial city is not peaceful, and it is inconvenient for the villagers to have a headache and brain fever. Why don't you get a small clinic in the villa, sell some herbs and diagnose patients in the hall, and Yuqing can learn from the master at any time when he has nothing to do. ”

"Yuqing, this is a good idea, you have wisdom in your little head."

"Madam, you are faster than me, my apprentice is really smart, there is a clinic in the villa, why didn't you think of it before."

"Master Yuqing Village, the villagers are here, do you want to tell everyone about going to Yuanwai Villa." As soon as the matter of the clinic was finished, Ye Xuan and Zhen'er came back.

"I won't say more, you'll know when you go and tell everyone. We used to help cremate the souls of the dead, don't forget to bring a scarf, and we have to be more serious when we help. Come here to receive the silver when you come back, Ye Xuan, Zhen'er, the things that you two should pay attention to in the past have been ignored. ”

"The owner of Yuqing Village, or my old man also followed, they are still young, and they don't understand the rules of the sacrifice. It is still voluntary, and thirty or fifty people are enough. ”

"Owner, don't mention the matter of silver, many of our two Zhuangzi people are connected to relatives, and they are familiar with each other." A farmer said loudly.

"Yes, the corpses have been left for so long, if you don't deal with it quickly, there is a plague over there, and we will also suffer here. I heard that the corpses over there were piled up at the foot of the mountain, and everyone went to wear more clothes. ”

In a short time, almost fifty young women got into the carriage, and the carriage ran over the snow of yesterday and ran towards the Yuanwai Villa.

"Yuqing, let's not be idle, go to the imperial city to exchange this silver ticket, and scatter the silver on the whole to keep the daily expenses of the villa. It is also to lead you to recognize the way, and you will have to do these things yourself in the future. Seeing that the carriage was walking away, the old farmer's wife said to Yuqing.

"Old lady, if it weren't for your help, Yuqing would have been a little blind, it turned out that the owner was so busy."

"Yuqing, these are temporary, these things are not the most worrying, dealing with the government is the most nerve-wracking, not only to meet the apportionment of the imperial court, but also to safeguard the interests of the villa, I am really afraid that you will not be able to deal with it, I have finally let go of my heart in the past two days."

"Old lady, Yuqing thank you."

"Child, it should be us who thank you, it's really not good to change someone else to be the owner of this farm."

A small carriage took the old lady and Yuqing onto the official road, and on the snowy road, there were almost no pedestrians. It was an old woman who drove the carriage, and she was very familiar with the carriage.

"Yuqing, this is the mother-in-law who specially drove the carriage for the old owner, who was born deaf and dumb, and has some fist and foot skills. Don't look at her age, when she was young, she was recognized as a master in these villas. This pony carriage is also special, and when you go out, you will know that this is the person from Qi's Villa. In the future, this carriage will be used exclusively by a few of you girls, which is a symbol of status and a symbol of strength. The average little thief will give face and not harass when he sees the carriage. Sitting in the carriage, the old farmer's wife chattered a little uneasy.

"Madam, are there thieves on this road?"

"Of course, kid. Especially in troubled times, there are more people who don't follow the right path, alas, we used to travel, and there were still Zhuang Ding to support the façade, but now they are all dead. You put away the silver ticket closely, I hope those people look at the old owner's face from time to time, don't embarrass the two of us. ”

"Madam, so it turns out that it is not a matter of money to solve it. Are those people very kungfu? ”

"That's not to talk about, how can ordinary people not be afraid when they see real knives and guns. These thieves also collude with the government, so it is us ordinary people who suffer. As soon as Mrs. Zhuang said this, the mute woman suddenly stopped the carriage, turned back and gestured to the carriage, and the face of Mrs. Zhuang changed.

"Yuqing, we have encountered a robbery. You sit and don't go out, I'll go talk to them. The old lady said with a trembling voice.

"Madam, how can I tell you to go out, I will go and see what kind of thieves these are?"

"No, you have a silver ticket."

At that moment several fast horses ran out of the spurs, and soon surrounded the carriage, and the leader laughed maliciously.

"Oh, it turned out to be someone from Qi's Villa, so he said that he dared to come out at this time, it turned out that he was relying on it. Okay, it's not hard for you to be an old widow, or the old rules to talk with silver. ”

"Strongman, there is no silver, and it was apportioned by the imperial court to repair the main hall a few days ago. For the sake of the old owner's face, this time we will make it convenient, and we will continue to honor you when the villa is rich. ”

"Old lady, it's not necessarily good for you to coax the children, who doesn't know that these men in the villa are all dead, and the remaining widows of you can still make the villa beautiful again. We never give face to the dead, and it's also for the sake of the happy cooperation that we once had, otherwise there would be no nonsense. At this time, when I went to the imperial city, nine times out of ten I went to Qianzhuang. It's better to take the initiative to take out the money, and we won't hurt the peace, otherwise we will kill you, and the silver will be ours. ”
