Warring States Eagle

Chapter 44 Backyard

Looking at the back of Togo Heiji going away, Masaragi let out a long sigh of relief.It seems that the benefits of being a lord are indeed good, and you will have two wives all at once.Just hope it doesn't catch fire in the backyard.

Step out of the chamber and hurried to the backyard.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time that Zheng Liang has carefully looked at the courtyard where this family member lives.The yard is very large, with a small pond in the middle. A small mountain spring flows slowly from the hill on the north side of the yard, and finally converges into the pond.There are seven or eight wooden houses scattered around the pond, and the largest and tallest wooden house is located on a small hill. This is where Zheng Liang lived last night.The courtyard is surrounded by a four-meter-high wooden mud wall.At this time, two thirteen- and 14-year-old girls were playing with each other by the pond in the middle of the yard. Under a big tree not far away, a young woman was hugging a five- or six-year-old little girl. The girl spoke softly.What a beautiful landscape of poetry and painting.

"Your Highness," Matsumiko, who was holding the little girl, first spotted Masara who was standing not far away, and hurriedly put down Matsumiko in her arms to salute. It was obvious that Matsumiko next to her had just been told by Matsumiko, and she didn't yell "" "Big brother", but staring at Zheng Liang with big eyes flickering.Zhengliang knew the meaning of that look, he must be asking if there is something delicious.

Kikuhime and Crane by the pond were also alarmed by Matsumiko's voice, and immediately arranged their clothes in a hurry, and then walked over with blushing faces to salute Zhengliang.

"Hehe, they're all here. Have you settled down?" Zheng Liang suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say to them, so he asked casually.

"Your Highness, we have already settled down. I live there with Crane and Sister Matsumiko," said Ju Ji, pointing to several wooden houses under the hill with her jade finger.Thinking about it, they all planned to be close to Zhengliang's residence, so that it would be convenient for him to serve Zhengliang in daily life.

"Well, is the meal ready?", to be honest, Zhengliang felt a little hungry after evaluating all morning.

"Your Highness, I'm ready, I'll go down and make arrangements immediately," Ju Ji said immediately.

"Just take it here to eat, just spread a piece of cloth on the ground." Zheng Liang suddenly wanted to eat in this beautiful courtyard, which seemed to have a picnic feeling.The Patriarch's request cannot be violated, and everyone immediately went down to make arrangements.

Soon, the food was all set up.Today's food is relatively rich, in addition to multigrain rice (finally no need to eat porridge), there is also a small plate of wild vegetables, a small bowl of pickled pork, and several pieces of dried fish.The cured pork is the pork obtained from hunting wild boars, and the dried fish is dried some time ago.Except for miscellaneous grains, the rest can be regarded as a famous recipe.Since it was the first time for the three women to eat with Zheng Liang in this strange way, they all seemed a little cautious, and only lowered their heads at Zheng Liang's repeated requests, and began to eat in small bites.But the little girl Tian Meizi has no such scruples at all, and she sticks to Zheng Liang's side as usual, and while eating, she said vaguely to Zheng Liang, "Big brother, is there no big fish to eat today? There There are many big fish?" Xiaoyu pointed to the pond in the yard.

"Cough...cough...", Zheng Liang, who was eating, almost choked on the little girl's weird request. The little girl seemed to be fascinated by the steamed fish he made impromptu last time.Ju Ji and He beside him were so amused by the scene in front of them that they wanted to laugh, but in order to maintain their image, they kept their mouths tightly shut and their bodies trembled slightly.Matsumiko, on the other hand, looked nervous.

"Well, Mimi Oda, I'll make it for you later!" Zheng Liang said awkwardly as he gently rubbed the little girl's hair with his right hand.

"Well, well, big brother, I will make such a big fish for you to eat in the future," the little girl said seriously when Zheng Liang promised to make big fish for her to eat in the future.

"Okay, the big fish cooked by Odami must be delicious," Zhengliang said happily.What an innocent child.And the atmosphere that was a bit dull because of the restraint was also a lot more active because of the little girl's words.

Soon after the meal was over, he signaled to Matsumiko, who was about to clean up the dishes, and so on. Zheng Liang took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to the girls one by one, and motioned them to look at the contents of the paper.Both Kikuhime and Tsuru were taught characters by their fathers Togo Heiji and Kosuke, so they can both read and write, and Kikuhime can write well.As for Matsumiko, when she was helping Zheng Liang sort out the written materials in the school, Zheng Liang accidentally discovered that she could also read characters. After careful questioning, he found out that she was taught by Matsumiko's husband. Zheng Liang once felt that she could read. It's a pity that if Matsumiko's husband hadn't been killed, he would probably be another capable retainer of her own.At the same time, I secretly feel fortunate that although Kyushu is a place of exile, I have met so many people with cultural background all at once.You must know that in this era, teaching is dominated by monasteries, and most farmers do not pay attention to reading and writing.

"Ju Ji, you will be my clerk and be responsible for the records of each evaluation meeting; at the same time, you will take care of all the coins in the territory, and you will be able to distribute the coins only after I get my approval; the last thing is the management of the orphans of soldiers in the territory law. Support, I will arrange some ashigaru to cooperate with you, and there are some detailed implementation rules that I have formulated in detail, please take a look carefully," Zheng Liang first said to Ju Ji.

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand," Ju Ji responded with a salute.In fact, Dongxiang Heiji has already given her a full explanation, and Ju Ji is also determined to play the role of the lord's wife.

"Matsumiko, you need to arrange for the women you brought to take care of the fields at the foot of the mountain. At the same time, there are dozens of homeless women and farmers who cannot manage the fields alone. You have to follow the previous methods. Make some arrangements, apply for a few anti-fields with Dongxiang Heiji, and focus on planting the crops I require; at the same time, you are responsible for the specific management of the farm tools and relief regulations in the territorial laws, and there are some details I have formulated on the paper," commanded After finishing Ju Ji, Zheng Liang turned to Matsumiko and said.

"This...Your Highness", Matsumiko was at a loss when she saw that the lord suddenly arranged such an important task for herself.Zheng Liang waved his hand, smiled at her, and gave her an encouraging look.Sensing Zhengliang's eyes, Matsumiko blushed, bowed her head and responded quickly.

"He, besides taking care of my daily life, you should help them more," Zheng Liang finally said to He.He didn't expect that he had just joined Zhengliang's backyard and his identity had not yet been confirmed. He had an arrangement, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly agreed.Looking at these women in front of him, Zheng Liang felt very touched. According to the concept of later generations, Zheng Liang did not intend to put them in the backyard as a vase, and in this era of Japan, many women of the lords were responsible for the work, such as cleaning and confiscating The head of the samurai, the preparation of meals before the battle, the organization of farmers for farming, etc., so it is not a shocking thing to arrange some work for them.The deepest purpose is to give them all something to do, and to work together in doing so to avoid backyard fires.
