Chapter 975: Entering the Village

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Muyu looked around the courtyard. It was neither old nor new, and it was not very big. It was similar to the structure of the county government in Nanchang County.

“Chunqin, where is my husband?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Madam, Lord Chu has brought my master to the other side of the river. He will probably only return at night.”

Ye Muyu understood that Chu Heng had left her behind. He had already gone with the county magistrate to look at the river.

“What time is it now?” Ye Muyu asked. Although his actions demotivated her a little, she was still in a good mood.

“Madam, it’s almost noon. Do you want to eat?” Chun Qin served Ye Muyu carefully, not daring to look at her. After all, she was the wife of an official from the capital.

However, why did she follow Chu Heng when he came to work?

Chunqin could not figure it out and did not dare to ask.

“Let’s go out and eat,” Ye Muyu said. She could also take a stroll and understand the local situation.

Chun Qin did not dare to stop her and followed her out.

There was indeed a guard at the entrance of the courtyard. It would be more convenient for Ye Muyu to bring him along.

Ye Muyu had just left the backyard of the county government office when the county magistrate’s wife heard the news. She had missed the opportunity to get close to her.

Ye Muyu did not know that someone was still thinking about her.

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

“Let’s eat here.” Ye Muyu walked over and a waiter immediately came over.

Ye Muyu poured three bowls of rice and asked the guards to sit down with Chunqin.

Chunqin did not dare to sit down at first, but after seeing the guard sit down, she sat down.

Ye Muyu liked obedient servants. After all, it saved her a lot of trouble. After Chunqin sat down, she asked, “Are there any specialties in Li County?”

Chunqin thought that Ye Muyu was just here for a vacation, so she did not find it strange. She told Ye Muyu everything she knew. “Because there are many rivers in Li County, they eat the most fish. If you go further, you can even buy fish.”

“That’s why Li County has a lot of salted fish that can be kept for a long time.”

“Other than that, there’s also…”

Ye Muyu listened to Chunqin talk about the local customs of Li County. The wontons were served. She took a sip of the soup and found that it was very delicious. There was some seaweed at the bottom, and there was also shrimp. No wonder many dishes here were soup.

“Do you have locust trees here?” Actually, there were many types of locust trees. Ye Muyu mainly wanted to know if any trees were commonly used for afforestation in the future.

“Yes, why is Madam asking about this?”

“Forget it. Let’s go to the river and take a look.” Ye Muyu planned to check it out personally. Whether it was the distribution or the planting of trees, she needed to do an actual investigation.

“Ah?” Chunqin looked at her in shock, unable to react.

Ye Muyu patted her shoulder lightly and smiled. “My husband is there anyway. Let’s go and take a look. It’ll be fine.”

She was indeed fooling Chunqin.

However, Chunqin did not dare to retort. She could only help rent a carriage and let the guard drive the carriage. She pointed the way to Lin Village, where the river was most congested.

By the time they reached the village, two hours had already passed.

Ye Muyu got out of the carriage.

Chun Qin could only close her eyes and follow after them.

Ye Muyu looked at the sparse grains in the field and could tell that the soil was not fertile enough.

She walked along the ridge of the field toward the place with many trees.

After looking around in the forest, she was drenched in sweat.
