After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

When Chu Fu heard that his daughter had gone to Zhou's house, his first reaction was to frown, and then he quickly remembered what Lao Zeng said. The haunting was probably fake. It was probably someone spreading rumors, so he was not so afraid anymore.

These rice... If the Zhou family could get this rice, there must be someone behind it.

Chu Fu told his daughter, "Don't let others know about this rice, for fear that someone will come and snatch it. Let's keep it and eat it slowly."

Chu Xiaorong smiled and nodded, "Dad, don't worry, I'm not stupid and I won't let others know."

She has lived here for so many years, and of course she has heard that some people are vulgar and savage and steal other people's things.

Chu Fu couldn't help but scolded him again, "Don't follow two men so recklessly in the future."

Chu Xiaorong pursed her lips and said, "I understand."

Zhou Yancheng and his family were tired and sat aside to rest and practice their internal skills.

It is difficult to get started with this skill. Once you get started, it will become relatively easy later on. It is only relative. If you want to learn it successfully, you still have to work hard to learn it.

Zhou Shitang closed her eyes and did as Su Bo'an said. All the surrounding noise disappeared in her ears.

She couldn't hear the outside world when she was concentrating on one thing.

When Zhou Shiruo saw that her sister was so serious, she was too embarrassed to be lazy and followed her practice.

Zhou Yancheng saw his children practicing martial arts seriously. He quietly pulled Shi Qingxiao to the corner and asked in a low voice, "What did you give Miss Chu just now?"

Shi Qingxiao didn't understand why her husband suddenly paid attention to this, "Mi, what's wrong? Is there any problem? A little girl came to our house to help weave a fence. It's best not to give her something to thank her."

Zhou Yancheng shook his head gently, "I'm not against it, I'm just worried that someone might see the rice and come to our house. If some bad guy insists on robbing us, it would be a bit troublesome."

"You have seen the situation everyone is in here. You have to eat those things secretly and don't let anyone find out."

Shi Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, "Miss Chu shouldn't let others know, right? Even if she didn't think of this, her family should think of it, right?"

Zhou Yancheng pursed his lips, his eyes serious, "Xiao'er, don't bet on human nature, and don't put our safety in the hands of others."

"There are too many uncontrollable factors. There are some things that our family members just want to know."

Shi Qingxiao's heart tightened, "I thought too simplistically. It's best for the elder brother to give some advice, especially the elder sister-in-law."

"No, I'm going to tell her now." Shi Qingxiao became more and more uneasy as she thought about it, so she turned around and left.

Zhou Rushan held a few sachets in his hands. When he came here, he saw Shi Qingxiao and found her face was gloomy. She suddenly twitched. Did she come at the wrong time?
However, even though she had come, it was hard for her to turn around and leave now. She bit the bullet and said to Shi Qingxiao: "Second Aunt."

Zhou Rushan's voice was so small that if Shi Qingxiao hadn't been standing a few steps away from her, she wouldn't have heard it.

Shi Qingxiao was stunned for a moment when he saw her, "Ashan is here."

Zhou Rushan saw Zhou Shitang and others sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed. She didn't know what they were doing. She didn't ask any more questions and gave out the sachet in her hand. "Tangtang said she wanted a sachet, so I made some and gave them to them." you."

Shi Qingxiao looked at the sachet in Zhou Rushan's hand in surprise. She knew that her niece's complaints against her husband were all instigated by her mother, and her nature was not bad.

I hope she can figure it out on her own and not get into trouble.

Shi Qingxiao smiled and took away the sachets and praised, "Ashan's embroidery is good. The embroidery work is very good at first sight."

Zhou Rushan was a little embarrassed by the praise and lowered his head.

There was nothing embroidered on the sachet at all. She just sewed some threads according to the shape of the sachet. I don't know where the second aunt saw that she was good at embroidery.

Zhou Shitang meditated for a while, but found nothing. He opened his eyes and saw Zhou Rushan coming, and was surprised, "Big sister is here."

Zhou Rushan walked over slowly, looked at Zhou Yancheng cautiously, pursed his lips and said, "Second uncle."

Zhou Yancheng had a gentle attitude and hummed, "You sisters get along well."

Zhou Rushan pursed his lips and nodded.

Zhou Shitang raised his eyebrows slightly. What kind of wind was this that brought the eldest sister here? She looked straight at Zhou Rushan.

Zhou Rushan couldn't bear to see her, so he took the initiative to confess, "I made a few sachets and sent them over."

"Hey, big sister, where did you get the battle line?" Zhou Shitang was curious.

Zhou Rushan said: "I met an aunt a few days ago. She said that a relative sent her a letter, but she didn't know the words. I said I knew it, and then I went back with her to read the letter. to her, and eventually she gave me some cloth and needlework.”

These cloths are not expensive cloths, just ordinary linen cloths.

In fact, if you have needle and thread, you can use some cloth from their clothes to make sachets, but the aunt gave them to her and she was not polite.

Zhou Shitang smiled and said seriously: "Big sister is amazing."

Zhou Shiruo was also surprised. She snorted, "I'm touched that my eldest sister can think of us."

She squeezed out two tears at the right time.

Zhou Rushan: "..."

This is an exaggeration.

She heard what she wanted to express, which was nothing more than complaining that she had ignored them before, and their previous relationship was not good, so what was there to think about.

Now she just thought about how her second uncle's family had sent so many things to her family, and she felt bad about it, so she just made a few sachets.

It's not something expensive.

Zhou Rushan felt uncomfortable all over, so he said hello to them and left.

Shi Qingxiao handed the sachet to Zhou Shitang and followed, "Ashan, I just have something to tell your mother. I will go back with you."

Zhou Rushan stiffened, unable to refuse, and nodded slowly.

"How is your grandmother doing lately?" Shi Qingxiao asked.

Zhou Rushan had never been alone with Shi Qingxiao. She was also afraid of this resolute second aunt and did not dare to make mistakes. She answered honestly, "Grandma is fine. She doesn't have any fever anymore."

"She usually grows vegetables at home, but we don't dare to let her do heavy work for fear of tiring her."

The two chatted all the way back, with Shi Qingxiao asking questions and Zhou Rushan answering.

After returning home, Zhou Rushan felt that he was finally relieved. He ran to the kitchen and poured a glass of water for Shi Qingxiao, and then ran away to chop wood.

Shi Qingxiao looked at her back and couldn't help but smile. She looked around and didn't see Mrs. Li. She only saw Mrs. Zhou squatting on the ground digging soil.

She walked over and said, "Mom, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Zhou raised her head and glanced at Shi Qingxiao, then lowered her head and continued digging, "The boy Ayi went into the mountain and saw these flowers, and said he would dig them back and plant them for me."

Shi Qingxiao looked down and saw a few yellow flowers. She didn't know what kind they were. She smiled and said, "Ayi means filial piety."

The old lady is old, and it is difficult to do other heavy work. Staying at home is boring, so it is good to spend time with flowers and plants.

She didn't know when Mrs. Li would come back, so she briefly chatted with Mrs. Zhou for a few words. When she saw that Mr. Li still hadn't come back, she didn't plan to wait any longer.

If the old lady is here, the old lady should give Li a warning.

Shi Qingxiao stood up and walked out.

When Mrs. Li walked into the house, she was stunned when she saw Shi Qingxiao and blurted out, "Why are you here?"

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, could you be looking for trouble?
Shi Qingxiao saw Li's wary eyes and smiled, "I'm here to see you. I have something to tell you."

Li's heart tightened. She glanced at Mrs. Zhou and was no longer so worried. Shi Qingxiao didn't dare to do anything to Mrs. Zhou when she was here.Shi Qingxiao signaled Li to come to Zhou Rushan.

Li was confused and didn't know what Shi Qingxiao wanted to do.

Zhou Rushan was also confused when he saw his second aunt and mother coming to him.

Shi Qingxiao didn't give in. "Tangtang asked Mingyi to bring back some food. You'd better not let others discover these things, otherwise someone may come to snatch them."

There are neighbors here, not very close, probably several meters apart.

Li was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Zhou Rushan knew it. Her eldest brother just came back with a bag of things and went out again. She ran to see it. It was rice, flour, grain and oil. She had not seen such good things for a long time.

I don’t know how Tangtang got it.

She was embarrassed to ask.

Shi Qingxiao whispered: "Rice, flour, grains and oil."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately stopped caring about Shi Qingxiao and rushed into the kitchen. According to Shi Qingxiao's instructions, she finally found the rice, flour, grains and oil in a corner.

She looked at those precious things, her heartbeat quickened, her eyes sparkled, and she smiled so hard that the wrinkles on her face appeared.

They are all good things.

They should eat something oily or watery, otherwise their health will collapse in the long run.

Li raised her hand to cover her fast-beating heart. After a moment, she calmed down, rushed out, and came to Shi Qingxiao again, curious, "Where did you get these things?"

"Good things should be shared together, so that our family can work harder."

Shi Qingxiao knew Li's temperament. If she found out that she was cooperating with Wu Sanlang, she would definitely get entangled with him.

She didn't want to cause trouble, so she said calmly: "I paid a lot of money to get it, and you can't afford that price."

When Li heard that it would cost a lot, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking further.

As long as she has something to eat, she won't get involved in their affairs.

Yes, we are so poor here. How can we get things here without paying a price?
Mrs. Zhou also heard this and looked up at Shi Qingxiao.

Shi Qingxiao winked at her and told her not to worry.

Madam Zhou understood instantly, nodded slightly, and continued planting flowers.

Shi Qingxiao warned again, to be serious, "If others know about it, for example, some bad people know about it, these things will not be saved, and their lives may be in danger."

When Mrs. Li heard that there was danger, she felt scared and nodded, "Don't worry, brothers and sisters, of course you have to hide these good things and eat them slowly. I won't let others know."

She is not a fool.

Seeing that she took it seriously, Shi Qingxiao left with peace of mind.

Li looked at Shi Qingxiao's back and frowned, "She came here just to say such nonsense to me?"

How could she not know these things?Qingxiao came here specifically to warn her when she was needed?Did she take her for a fool?

Zhou Rushan said slowly: "Second Aunt is worried that you might accidentally spill the beans."

Her mother was a show-off person. When she went out to chat with others, she would gossip about what was going on at home without keeping her mouth shut.

Li's expression stiffened, "I don't like to talk about everything, and I definitely won't."

What if those two bitchy men find out and come to her house to rob her?
Zhou Rushan thought of what his mother had done in the past and couldn't help but tell her, "Mom, remember to keep your mouth shut. Don't tell anyone about everything."

Li Shi said sarcastically: "I know, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

When Shi Qingxiao got home, she got into the kitchen to make dinner.

She didn't ask Zhou Shitang to come over to cook. Her baby daughter was still so young, so it was enough to cook a meal once in a while. It was better to leave it to her to cook at other times.

Zhou Shitang thought of the medicinal materials that Wu Yongwei sent over. There were all the medicinal materials for the junior prescriptions, and a small part of the medicinal materials for the advanced prescriptions. The small part were more common medicinal materials, and the precious ones were not available.

However, the advanced prescriptions are not considered for the time being. It would be great to have the medicinal materials for the junior prescriptions.

This meant that the family could take a medicinal bath.

Wash away fatigue and practice martial arts with twice the result with half the effort.

However, there is no bathtub at home.

Zhou Shitang looked at Zhou Shimu, smiling so hard that his eyes were crooked, "Second brother, can you make a bathtub?"

Zhou Shimu shook his head, "No."

Zhou Shitang sighed, "It seems like we are going to trouble Su Huaili again."

A bathtub is a must.

Zhou Shitang thought for a long time: "Make two large bathtubs. One bathtub can accommodate three people. When the time comes, the second brother, third brother and father will take a bath together, and our sisters and mother will take a bath together. This can also save water and medicinal materials."

Zhou Shimu frowned, "If three people take a bath together, can the bathtub withstand it?"

Zhou Shitang wasn't too sure, "It should be... ok, I'll ask Su Huaili tomorrow."

Zhou Shiye also sat aside and heard their conversation. He imagined in his mind the scene of him and his father and brother sitting in the bathtub together, and his goosebumps instantly rose.

He couldn't help but ask, "Tangtang, can I make it myself?"

He really couldn't imagine taking a bath with his father, it was so cold.

Zhou Shitang shook his head, "These medicinal materials should be used sparingly. It is best to brew them together."

Zhou Shiye flattened his mouth.

Zhou Yancheng sneered twice: "I haven't disliked you yet, but you have disliked me first. Do you like it or not?"

Zhou Shiye had heard from Zhou Shitang about the benefits of taking medicinal baths. If he dared to say not to take a bath, his father would really dare not to let him take a bath.

He compromised, turned to look at Zhou Yancheng, and smiled unconscionably, "I don't dare to dislike dad. It would be nice to hang out together. We can also chat and enhance our relationship."

Then he could just close his eyes and pretend they didn't exist.

Zhou Yancheng chuckled twice.

He also dislikes this son.

But Tangtang said it would be better to soak together, so let’s just do it.

The environment is depressing.

Zhou Rushan sent six sachets.

Zhou Shitang ran over and looked at the pyrethrum. The sun has been very strong recently. After two or three days of sunshine, the pyrethrum was already half dry.

She temporarily gave up the idea of ​​chopping the pyrethrum and putting it in the sachet, and decided to let it dry in the sun for a few more days.

She put the sachet away. (End of chapter)
