Chapter 305: Stockpiling Food (Update 1)
The rain lasted for three days. The house was filled with moisture outside, and the ground inside the old house was always damp as it had been built for some time.
On the morning of the third day, the rain finally stopped, but the sky was still gloomy and it looked like it would continue to rain at any time.
Ye Chutang boiled some medicine and gave it to Xiaowu to drink.
She no longer has a fever, but still has a cough.
After Xiaowu finished drinking the bowl of brown bitter medicine, Ye Chutang would always give him a candied fruit.
Xiaowu was easy to coax. He smiled brightly at her with a sweet candied fruit in his mouth, and there was no sign of sickness on his face.
Tap-tuk——
Hearing the knock on the door, Ye Chutang looked up, feeling a little strange.
They had been back for a few days, and everyone knew that they came back to move the graves and worship their ancestors, so no one came to disturb them.
In addition, Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng were still young when they left here in their early years, and they did not have any very close friends of the same age, so the life here was even quieter.
I wonder who will come to my door at this moment?
After a while, the servant came to report.
"Second Miss, Master Pan is here."
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Master Pan, could it be... the Pan Ying you met at the city gate that day?
"Please ask him to come in, and then go tell Ah Yan and Ah Feng that there is a guest."
"yes."
Ye Jingyan was in the room looking at the calligraphy that Ye Yunfeng had just practiced. When he heard the servant come to report, he was stunned for a moment.
"Pan Ying?"
Ye Yunfeng asked curiously: "Third brother, he came to see you?"
Ye Jingyan couldn't guess for a moment, so he put down the things in his hand and said, "I'll go take a look."
Ye Yunfeng was not willing to let go of this rare opportunity, so he quickly stood up and followed him: "I'll go with you!"
Ye Jingyan didn't care about him. He didn't know what Sister and Afeng said that day. After Afeng came back, he started to work hard and was much more diligent than before.
He simply stopped detaining him.
When he arrived at the front hall, he saw that the person who came was indeed Pan Ying. Ye Jingyan smiled and said, "What brings Brother Pan here?"
Although Pan Ying had a deep friendship with his brother, he was not very familiar with him. He didn't know why he came here.
Pan Ying looked a little restrained, and said, "Actually, I wanted to come before, but, but I was afraid of delaying your work, so I put it off until today."
Ye Jingyan was stunned.
They had no connection with Pan Ying, but from what Pan Ying said, it seemed that he had something very important to discuss with them.
Ye Jingyan made him a cup of tea and said, "Brother Pan, just speak frankly if you have anything to say."
Pan Ying opened his mouth, but scratched his head again, and asked in a low voice: "Third brother, does your elder sister have the final say in your family now?"
I heard that on that day when the Ye family moved the graves to worship their ancestors, Ye Chutang was kneeling in the front row!
Qingzhou is hundreds of miles away from the capital and is a small place, so the news is not well-informed, so no one knows the situation of the Ye brothers and sisters in the capital.
But as far as ancestor worship is concerned, it can be seen that Ye Chutang is definitely the boss in the Ye family!
Ye Jingyan did not hesitate to hear this and nodded slightly: "My Ye family is indeed headed by my elder sister."
Pan Ying thought to herself that it was true, and wiped her hands on her legs, saying, "Then, can we ask her to come over?"
Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
However, Ye Jingyan reacted quickly and nodded immediately: "Ah Feng, go and ask my sister."
Soon, Ye Chutang arrived.
When Pan Ying saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
That day, Ye Chutang was in the carriage and no one could see her face, but they did not expect her to be so gentle and beautiful.
Ye Chutang smiled slightly: "Mr. Pan, why did you come to see me?"
Pan Ying came back to his senses, and seemed a little embarrassed. After struggling for a while, he asked hesitantly:
"Actually, it's not for anything else. I just want to ask, Mr. Ye hasn't sent anyone to collect the grain from this autumn harvest. Is there any change?"
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ye Yunfeng couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "What did you say?"
grain?
The Ye family did have a piece of land in Qingzhou, but it had been abandoned for many years.
Ye Zheng worked hard and his career went smoothly. Although Ye Heng was not as good as him, he also made a name for himself.
Naturally, no one cultivated that field.
Why did Pan Ying bring this up at this time? He even mentioned harvesting grain...
Pan Ying had actually been worried for quite some time, so even though she felt it was inappropriate to come and urge him, she still came.
"It's the food that Master Ye ordered from us before!"
Pan Ying looked at their expressions and realized that they probably didn't know about this either, so he explained:
"A few years ago, Master Ye came back once and bought a lot of grain. He has come every year since then. But this year, more than half a month has passed since the autumn harvest, and the grain is piled up in the granary, but no one has come to collect it."
Pan Ying rubbed his hands.
"The weather has been bad recently, and it has been raining all the time. If the rice gets damp, it will be bad. Everyone is very worried, so let me ask about it."
In fact, when Ye Chutang and the others came back, many people secretly wondered whether they had a conflict with Ye Heng.
After all, Ye Heng is the elder of the Ye family. He did not show up for this important event of moving the graves and worshiping the ancestors. It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.
Pan Ying was sent here because he had dealt with them before.
Ye Yunfeng was confused and subconsciously looked at Ye Chutang.
Ye Jingyan's lips moved slightly, but in the end he was cautious and did not speak.
The room was silent for a moment, and the woman's gentle voice sounded again.
"How many stones of grain were harvested this year?"
