Chapter 44 Backyard

Looking at the back of Heiji Togo's far away, Masara breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the benefits of being a lord were really good. He had two wives all at once. I just hoped that the backyard would not have a fire.

Step out of the meeting hall and hurried to the backyard.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time Zhengliang looked at the yard where his family lived. The yard was very large, with a small pond in the middle. A small spring slowly flowed down from the hill on the north side of the yard and finally gathered into the pond. There were seven or eight wooden houses scattered around the pond, and the largest wooden house was located on the hill, which was Zhengliang's residence last night. The yard was surrounded by four-meter-high wooden mud walls. At this time, next to the pond in the middle of the yard, two thirteen and fourteen-year-old girls were fiddling with the water of the pond and playing with each other. Under a big tree not far away, a young woman was holding a five or six-year-old girl whispering softly. What a beautiful poetic and painting scene.

"Your Highness" Matsumiko, who was holding the little girl, first discovered Masaru who was standing not far away. He quickly put down Ta Miko in his arms and saluted. Ta Miko next to him was obviously a reminder from Masaruko. He did not shout "Big Brother" as before, but stared at Masaru with big eyes flashing. Masaruya knew the meaning of the look, and must be asking if there was anything delicious.

Kikumi and Tsurumi by the pond were also alarmed by Matsumiko's voice. They immediately tidied up their clothes in a hurry, and then walked over with a blush on their faces to salute Masaru.

"Haha, everyone is here. Have you settled in the residence?" Zhengliang found out that he didn't know what to say to them for a moment, so he had to ask casually.

"Your Highness, you have settled down. I live there with Shira and Sister Matsumiko." Kikumi stretched out her jade finger and pointed to several wooden houses under the hillside. I think they all plan to get close to Masayora's residence to facilitate their daily life.

"Well, are the meals ready?" To be honest, Zhengliang felt a little hungry all morning.

"Your Highness, you are ready. I will go down and arrange it immediately." Juji said immediately.

"Just take it here to eat, just lay a cloth on the ground." Zhengliang suddenly wanted to eat in this beautiful yard, which seemed to have a picnic. The request of the head of the family should not be disobeyed, so everyone immediately went down to make arrangements.

Soon, the food was all set up. Today, the food was quite rich. In addition to the mixed grains and rice (I finally didn't have to eat porridge), there was also a small plate of wild vegetables, a small bowl of pickled pork, and several pieces of dried fish. The pickled pork was the pork obtained from hunting wild boars before, and the dried fish was made some time ago. Except for the mixed grains, the rest can be regarded as a famous recipe. Since the three women used this strange way to eat with Masayoshi in the first time, they all seemed a little restrained. After Masayoshi repeatedly asked, they lowered their heads and started eating in small mouthfuls. However, the little girl, Miko Tam, had no such concerns at all. She stuck to Masayoshi as usual, and while eating big, she said to Masayoshi vaguely, "Big brother, are there no big fish today? Are there many big fish there?" Xiaoyu pointed to the pond in the yard.

"Cough...cough..." Masayoro, who was eating, almost choked by the little girl's strange request. The little girl seemed to be fascinated by the steamed fish he made last time. Kikumi and Shira were both amused by the scene in front of her and wanted to laugh, but in order to maintain her image, she closed her mouth and forced herself to hold it down, and her body trembled slightly. Matsumiko looked nervous.

"Well, Oda Mi, I'll give it to you in the future!" Masara said awkwardly with his right hand.

"Well, yes, big brother, I will make such big fish for you to eat in the future." The little girl said seriously when she heard Zhengliang agree to make big fish for her to eat in the future.

"Okay, the big fish made by Mi Oda must be delicious," Masayora said happily. What a innocent child. The atmosphere, which seemed a bit dull due to restraint, became much more active because of the little girl's words.

Soon after a meal, he signaled Matsumiko who was preparing to clean up the dishes, etc. Masara took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to the girls, and signaled them to see the contents of the paper. Kikumi and Tsuki were taught by their fathers Togo Heiji and Yusuke personally, so they could recite the characters, and Kikumiko even wrote good characters. Masarachi was a very good character when he was helping Masara to sort out the text materials of the Territory School, Masara accidentally discovered that she would read them.

After asking carefully, I realized that it was taught by Matsumiko's husband. Masayoro once felt extremely sorry for this. If Matsumiko's husband had not been killed, he would probably be another of his capable retainers. At the same time, he also secretly felt glad that although Kyushu was an exile place, he had met so many people with cultural backgrounds all at once. You must know that in this era, teaching was controlled by temples, and most farmers did not pay attention to reading and writing.

"Juji, you will be my clerk, responsible for the record of each evaluation meeting; at the same time, the coins in the territory are managed by you, and coins can be allocated after I have obtained my approval; finally, the management and support of the orphans of the warriors in the territory's laws. I will arrange some of the implementation rules that I have formulated in detail. Please take a closer look at them." Zhengliang said to Juji first.

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand," Kikumi responded. In fact, Togo Heiji had made sufficient explanations to her, and Kikumi was determined to play the role of the lord's wife.

"Matsumiko, you have to arrange the fields at the foot of the mountain to continue to be managed by the women you originally found. At the same time, there are dozens of homeless women and farmers in the territory who cannot manage the fields alone. You can arrange them according to the previous methods. Apply for more anti-fields with Heiji Dongxiang, focusing 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 territory laws. There are some detailed contents I have formulated on the paper." After ordering Kikumi, Masara turned to Matsumiko and said.

"This... Your Highness" Matsumiko saw that the lord suddenly arranged such an important task for her, and was at a loss for a moment. Masara waved her hand, smiled at her, and gave her an encouraging look. Feeling Masara's eyes, Matsumiko blushed and lowered her head and quickly responded.

"He, in addition to being responsible for my daily life, help them more," Masayora said to He at last. He never expected that he had just joined Masayora's backyard, and his identity had not been confirmed, so he had made arrangements. He immediately looked at the women in front of him, Masayora felt very touched. According to the concept of later generations, Masayora did not plan to put them in the backyard as vase. Moreover, in Japan, many women of the lords were responsible for work, such as cleaning the heads of samurai, preparing food before the war, organizing farmers to do farming, etc., so it is not a shocking thing to arrange some work for them. The deepest purpose is to make them have something to do, and to work together in the process of doing things to avoid fire in the backyard.
