Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 973 Entering the Village

  Ye Muyu looked around the courtyard, neither old nor new, nor very big, similar to the structure of Nanchang county government.

   "Chunqin, where is my husband?" Ye Muyu asked.

   "Returning to Madam, Master Chu took my master to the side of the river, and he probably won't be back until evening."

  Ye Muyu understood that he was directly left behind by Chu Heng, and he had already gone to see the river with the county magistrate.

  Although this fact is a bit shocking, Ye Muyu is in a good state of mind. She thought for a while and continued to ask: "What time is it now?"

   "Madam, it's almost noon, do you want to eat?" Chunqin waited carefully, not daring to look at Ye Muyu more, after all, she was the wife of a high official from Beijing.

   It's just, why does Mrs. Chu come to work and Madam follows?

  Chunqin couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to ask more questions.

  Ye Muyu didn't wrong herself: "Let's go out to eat." By the way, let's take a stroll and learn about the local situation.

  Chunqin didn't dare to stop her, so she went out with her.

   Sure enough, there was a guard at the gate of the yard, and it would be more convenient for Ye Muyu to bring it with him.

   And just as Ye Muyu left the backyard of the county government office, the county magistrate's wife got the news, so she missed the opportunity to get close to her.

  Ye Muyu didn't know that there were still people thinking about her.

  After she walked out of the county office, she walked along the street, walked around, and finally stopped at a very ordinary wonton restaurant.

   "Let's eat here." Ye Muyu walked over, and the waiter came over immediately.

  Ye Muyu ordered three bowls, then called the guards to sit down with Chunqin.

  Chunqin didn't dare to sit down at first, but sat down after seeing the guard sitting down.

  Ye Muyu likes to be obedient, after all, it can save a lot of tongues, so she asked after Chunqin sat down, "Are there any special products in Li County?"

Chunqin only thought that Ye Muyu was here to play, so she didn't think it was strange, so she told her everything she knew: "Because there are many rivers in Li County, fish are the most eaten, and further away, you can eat more fish." I bought sea fish."

   "So Li County also has a lot of salted fish, which can be stored for a long time."

   "Besides..."

Ye Muyu was listening to Chunqin talking about the customs of Li County, and the wontons were also served. She took a sip of the soup and found that it tasted very delicious. There were sea bottom floating out of it, and shrimp skins. No wonder many dishes here are soup .

   "Do you have locust trees here?" In fact, there are many kinds of locust trees, and Ye Muyu mainly wanted to ask if there is any tree that is commonly used in afforestation in later generations.

   "Yes, Ma'am, why do you ask this?"

   "Forget it, let's go to the river to have a look later." Ye Muyu plans to go and see it in person, whether it is diversion or afforestation, it needs to do actual investigation.

   "Huh?" Chunqin looked at her in shock, but didn't react.

  Ye Muyu patted her on the shoulder lightly, with a slight smile on his face: "Anyway, the adults are over there, so we just happened to go over to have a look together, and nothing will happen."

  She was indeed fooling Chunqin.

  But Chunqin didn't dare to refute, so she could only help rent a carriage, driven by guards, and she showed the way to Lincun, where the river was most congested.

   When we arrived in the village, an hour had passed.

  Ye Muyu got off the carriage.

  Chunqin saw that everyone was coming, so she could only follow with her eyes closed.

  Ye Muyu looked at the sparse grain on the ground, and could tell at a glance that the land was not fertile enough.

  She walked along the ridge of the field to where there were many trees.

  Looked around in the woods, sweating all over.
