Chapter 41: Seven Days of Martial Law 4
Yuqing returned to the Sixth Courtyard, and Ye Jing and Xiaozhu were still walking in the courtyard. Uncle Shao opened the window and explained the tricks to them. Seeing her sister walk into the yard, Ye Jing greeted her sister with a horse step.
"Sister, why don't you come home and sleep for a while when you come back in the morning?"
"Jing'er, you should be persistent in getting up early to exercise, sister is coming back to sleep."
"Miss Master, can I run with you tomorrow morning with the eldest young master?" The little pillar also asked.
"Of course, a morning jog is the easiest way to get fit. But no one is telling you to get up, you have to get into the habit of getting up early. Uncle Shao, how do your legs feel today? ”
"Miss, it's a little itchy, it doesn't hurt much anymore. I think I'll be able to get off the ground soon. ”
"Uncle Shao, don't be in a hurry to get off the ground after 100 days. The medicinal soup should be drunk every day, and the days ahead are still very long, and the most important thing is to take care of the body. ”
Vice General Shao in the room looked at the small pills in the small paper bag and said nothing. Every time I take the medicine, I melt the small pills in hot water, and they are not boiled herbs at all. There are too many secrets in the prince's little daughter, I don't know what ups and downs she has experienced with her loyal grandmother after being separated for so many years? is only 16 years old, he is already able to write and be able to Wulan's heart, and his brother doesn't know where he is gone? When the accident happened that year, the two children were too young to recognize each other even when they met. If it weren't for the grandmother beside Princess Biansai, she wouldn't know that Princess Yuqing had been in the villa all along.
Are all of Yu Ning still alive now? It stands to reason that he should go to the eldest princess's aunt, but after so many years of secret visits by several princes' henchmen, he didn't even have a clue. If that child is alive and is the little prince of the Yan royal family, the new emperor and the new emperor are bullshit. Alas!
"Miss, you haven't slept all night at the Yuanwai Villa, have you? Hurry back and sleep for a while, last night you said you wanted to eat dumplings, and grandma will make dumplings for you at lunch. Hearing that Yuqing was back, Mama Grandma hurriedly greeted her out of the yard and said loudly.
"Mama, Yuqing is back to sleep. I'll start by looking at what's going on in the kitchen. Yuqing said and walked into the kitchen with Grandma Grandma and told Grandma how to make dumplings.
"Grandma, you first chop the meat and vegetables into minced pieces, and then use warm water and a piece of noodles. Yuqing took a nap for a while and got up to help Grandma Milk mix the stuffing and make dumplings. ”
"Miss, there is only one chicken in the family that I killed a few days ago, can I chop some chicken breast? If it doesn't work, go to the countryside and buy some pork and come back, cabbage or radish for the dish? ”
"Grandma, take all the meat from the chicken to make stuffing, and the chicken bones to make soup. The imperial city is under martial law for seven days, and it's best not to go to the countryside there, and eat whatever you have at home. Let's stuff the chicken with cabbage. Mama, Yuqing is really sleepy, go sleep for a while. When the ban on the imperial city is lifted, I must buy a maid for my grandmother. ”
"Good boy, don't waste money, Mama's body is quite tough, and cooking, washing, and laundry are not tiring. In the morning, there was a quarrel over work in the seventh courtyard, and now there is a rally over there. Alas! You talk about the orphans and widows left, who does more work and less work, what is there to quarrel about? Grandma said while working in her hands, and when she looked up, Yuqing had already gone back to the house to sleep.
"It's really embarrassing for the little princess, when will I be able to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors to be the princess of Yan Kingdom." Mama sighed in her heart.
Dumplings filled with chicken and cabbage, each with thin skin and big stuffing like ingots. The moment the lid of the pot was lifted, the rich aroma rose, and the two boys who practiced kung fu in the yard jumped into the stove room.
"Grandma, what kind of food is fragrant." Ye Jing looked at the crescent-like thing and asked.
"Young Master Jing, this is called dumplings, and the dough is wrapped in vegetable and meat filling. Mama Ma saw that the big family had eaten, but I didn't expect it to be done, Young Master Jing sent some to your Uncle Shao, and I won't cook other dishes at noon today. ”
"Okay, I'll come back and eat again."
"Old lady, this kind of dumpling is delicious when you look at it. The little pillar is really blessed, and I will definitely protect Young Master Jing well in the future. The little pillar, which was smaller than Ye Jing, said happily.
"Good! Go and serve your master to eat, and practice kung fu in the afternoon. ”
"Sister, Jing'er has an idea, this kind of dumpling made by grandma is really delicious. Jing'er wants to open a snack shop in the imperial city, so she sells this kind of dumplings, as well as the bun pies and pies that grandma just said. Next to the grocery store in the Sixth Courtyard there is a shop that specializes in selling steamed bread cakes. When the Imperial City Palace changed, the shopkeeper in the shop died in the chaos, and the business of that shop was not very good. It's even worse now, I heard that the price is right, and they are going to sell the shop. The lady in the shop took the child and prepared to go back to the countryside. ”
"Jing'er, your idea is very good. After the ban on the imperial city is lifted, my sister will go with you to take a look, and if it works, we will buy the shop. No matter what dynasty or what the world, food and clothing are the most important. ”
"Miss, son, it's hard to do business in troubled times, and opening another shop can have one more way to make money. Fortunately, the population of our six courtyards is small, and there are several rooms like other courtyards. A grocery store really can't afford it. ”
"Grandma, our dad is such a good man."
"Jing'er, your father is the most dedicated man grandma has ever seen. There are many people in the yard and there are many miscellaneous things, and it is no secret that the big and small things in the yard are not secret. Mama looked at Yuqing and said, Yuqing understood in her heart, and she had more respect for her aunt.
Around the dry well behind the villa, the wild grass has been harvested by the beggars and piled up. There is an area of ten acres of land, and a large bag of soil is bulged out from the dry well in the middle. Further away is the wall of the villa, which is not very high. Because the barren mountain behind it is a natural barrier.
When Yuqing and the dumb woman came over with the ghost boss, the five beggar soldiers along the way were talking about building a house.
"Miss Ran, our house is built under the wall, and we have seen that the wall is very strong. Your ancestors have been guarding the Yan family for decades. In the end, only this manor was left to future generations. Guarding such a royal family is chilling. The ghost boss said as he walked, and Yuqing and the dumb woman didn't pick up the stubble. The ghost boss didn't care either, and said again.
"There are about ten acres of land planted with grain, and we will open up a wasteland under the roots of the mountain, where we can grow some vegetables and herbs. In this way, there will be more harvests, and snakes, rats and small animals in the mountains will be isolated. Miss Zhuang, do you think this will work? ”
"Uncle Ghost, you should be from a prestigious family, and you know how to farm." Yuqing asked with a smile.
"Miss Zhuang, in the family of the family, the scenery is the concubine, and the one who is oppressed is the concubine. We have the reputation of being a noble family, but we are doing the work of slaves. I also grew up in the countryside, and my family took care of the crops in the countryside. Later, I was fortunate enough to be selected by them to enter the Imperial City and manage a few shops for them. It's even if you have your own yard in the mansion, and you just have a nest, and even the wife you want to marry is assigned by the concubine. It's not so much about marrying a wife, it's about marrying someone who spies on you. ”
"Ghost boss, I didn't expect your famous families to attach so much importance to the distinction between concubines and concubines." The dumb woman followed.
"Dumb seniors, everyone is small, whether it is a famous family, or a banker. There is always a step between the concubine and the concubine. It's ridiculous that he attaches so much importance to the separation of his concubines and concubines, and he sits on the left side of the door. ”
"Big brother, you're talking too much." The second ghost, who had been silent, hurriedly said.
"Uncle Ghost, how did you escape the palace change?" Looking at the embarrassed expression of the ghost boss, Yuqing didn't mind changing the topic.
"Miss Zhuang, I was talking about business in Linxian County when the palace changed. By the time I returned, the mansion was in ruins. The shops that belong to us have become someone else's. The imperial soldiers were still searching the remnants of the imperial city, but fortunately, I had a good relationship a few years ago, so I escaped the search of the imperial court in the Chenghuang Temple. It is these beggar brothers who keep me, otherwise I would not have died unjustly. ”
"Big brother, if you hadn't rescued me and rewarded me with a full meal, I would have died a long time ago if I hadn't been beaten to death by hunger and cold. The eldest brother and I have the grace to save my life, and the second brother has no other ability, so he can only ask the brothers to squeeze in the broken temple and give the eldest brother a place to sleep. Oniji took over and said.
"Second brother, this is already a charcoal in the snow for me, saving me from fire and water, let's talk farther and farther. Miss Ran, it is enough for a few of us to build two rooms, and then build a warehouse and a kitchen. When a few people arrived at the wall, they ended the conversation and talked about building a house.
"Uncle Ghost, how can it be that there are a few of you all the time? I'm going to build a row of houses along the fence, even if I don't expand your ranks. And you shall also have a family, and you shall live together. ”
"Miss Zhuang, this is something we dare not think of. Now that we can eat enough and wear warm clothes, we are already very satisfied, compared with living in a broken temple and begging for food, it is already the days of heaven. Ghost San said excitedly.
"Ignorant fellow, of course it's good to build a row of houses, but how much silver does it cost? Besides, it's just such a big land, how many crops are needed to build a row of houses? ”
"Ghost Five, you save money for Miss Ben, Miss Ben is so happy. The food grown here is enough for our six courtyards and a few of you to eat. The wasteland in the back mountain is opened, and vegetables are planted in the middle and herbs are planted around it. If you can't finish eating, you can sell it, Miss Ben's medical skills are enough to support you. The house is still in place in one step, and you don't have to worry about the money. You discuss it here first, and Miss Ben will walk around casually. ”
"Master, I still can't sense the movement in the secret cave in the back mountain, but there are people on this mountain, I don't know if it's hunting or soldiers from the imperial court. Master, you go forward, what movement might Yuyu hear? Yuqing's consciousness sounded the voice of the soul pen.
"Yuyu, your master and I came here to listen to the movement of the back mountain, but you have been reminded for a long time. How could I forget the business, I have to find an opportunity. ”
"Master, Yuyu is noisy with you, you don't know that Yuyu is excited, my magic skills have improved a lot."
"Then you can fly out now." Yuqing listened to Yuyu's words, and also asked a little excitedly.
"Shhhh
"Made, did you forget us? This icy and snowy person is still patrolling the mountains. ”
"It's not that I'm worried that among the few people who ran out of the villa, we have internal responses. This person who can't see anyone alive or dead can't see a corpse, and the people above are unwilling. ”
"Isn't it just a woman? Even if he was related to the people above, he was slept with by the old man. ”
"Shhhh Hold on for one more day, and everything will be settled after the enthronement ceremony tomorrow. It's time for us to go back to sleeping in the hot bed. ”
"Virtue, you want women, right? Is it true that you say this villa is haunted? ”
"Then can there be a fake? Leader has experienced something personally. I heard that the soldiers led by the commander were crazy outside the villa. A lot of people have died by stabbing each other, and besides, who dares to fool the above at this juncture. ”
"Yes, the Lord Commander also paid 10,000 taels of silver to send away the ghost attached to the silver ticket. The money was used to buy boys and girls, as well as a few beggars. ”
"I know this, if the ghosts are scattered, they won't make much trouble. Boys and girls have innate yang energy, and beggars eat hundreds of rice and have a hard life. ”
"You're all in a hurry, let's talk about something else. Ghosts, ghosts, you are not afraid, who else has a bad idea? I didn't know that the haunted dry well was inside the walls of the villa. ”
"Head, which woman's belly did you just get off this occasion, right? This is the time when your yang energy is at its lowest, and if you are afraid, you go outside and hide. How can this little broken shack block a little cold wind. ”
Whew, Yoyoer...... As soon as a few people outside said this, a whirlwind blew outside the small shack. There was a howl cry from the whirlwind. In Yuqing's consciousness, Yuyu's voice of repeating the words of several people outside also stopped. It turned out that the soul pen had flown outside the wall.
"What the hell!" Frightened cries and chaotic footsteps could be heard outside the walls.
"There should be six court soldiers outside." Yuqing made sure of the footsteps.
"Yuqing, what's the situation?" The mute woman ran and asked.
