Chapter 34
Reluctantly, he walked over and said to them: "Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, if you pick them like this, if others don't accept them, you should pick them like this. Pick them one by one, keep the leaves intact, and then dry them to [-]% dry, and then you can sell them."

After Yuefu finished speaking, she ignored them. She went to pick her Polygonum multiflorum and Bupleuri, which are the most valuable.

At noon, around eleven o'clock, when it was the hottest time, the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law picked most of the bamboo baskets, and they also picked up everything. Yuefu picked most of the baskets of Polygonum multiflorum and Bupleurum, It is covered with some grass that is often seen.

When Yuefu was cutting the grass, the elder sister-in-law Zhao once looked at Yuefu's bamboo basket, and there was nothing but grass.What she didn't expect was that Yuefu had already made preparations. She plucked pigweed first, and put the Polygonum multiflorum and Bupleurum bupleurum she picked in the grass.

After they went up the mountain, the officials of the county government issued a labor recruitment order, requiring the villagers in Qili Baxiang, each household to send a laborer to go to the foot of Wuduo Mountain in Chiyang City to build a summer resort for the emperor, and register within three days name, depart in five days.

It is said that the emperor chose Wuduo Mountain for a reason. I heard that Wuduo Mountain has charming scenery, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it is a good place to raise people!
This notice made everyone panic. Everyone knew that the construction of the Summer Resort was similar to the Jianxing Palace, and it would not be possible to complete it within a year or two.It is said that if you are not careful on the construction site, you may die. The entire Chiyang City to Ping'an City and then to the major towns and villages in Pingyang County require tens of thousands of people.

Everyone in the villages and towns that received the notice was terrified. No one wanted to do such a thankless task.

When the three of them returned home, they saw Mrs. Liu, Mr. Yun, the eldest, the second, the third, the third sister-in-law Zhou, the fourth, Yun and Qing, and five children sitting in the yard. His face was serious, dull, and he said nothing.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law saw the family sitting together seriously, and knew that something important must have happened at home, so they hurriedly put the things aside, walked over and sat down.

"Father, what happened to Xianggong?" asked sister-in-law Zhao!
Old man Yun sighed and explained the notice sent by the yamen.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law fell to the ground in fright, and quickly said, "Father, my husband can't go. If something happens when we go, how will you let our mothers live?" The elder sister-in-law howled.

The second sister-in-law also cried and shouted: "Father, mother and my husband-in-law can't go, we also have children, and we have to honor your two elders."

The third sister-in-law also said: "Father and mother, my husband-in-law can't go either. I and I are pregnant again. If the husband-in-law leaves, who will take care of our mother and mother? You can't let your second elder take care of us?"

"Third daughter-in-law, when did this happen?" Old Man Yun asked with narrowed eyes.

"Dad, last afternoon, I went to Dr. Liu at the west end of the village to ask him to take the pulse. It has been a month."

Old man Yun sighed and said, "Since the third child is pregnant, let's choose one among the eldest, second and fourth."

Yuefu saw what the elder sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law said, and she understood that they wanted to push the matter to her fourth wife, and immediately said: "Father, He Qing can't go either. Everyone in the village knows that it is built for the emperor to escape the summer heat." The villa will take two years if it doesn’t last a year. The man who digs the mountain sometimes uses earthen cannons. Danger may happen at any time. We just got married and we don’t even have any offspring. If we let him go, what will happen? Well, isn't this the end?"
