Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"Tangtang packed a lot of things when she got up this morning, saying she wanted to give them to her older sister."

Yesterday, Chu Zheng had many gifts prepared as a token of his gratitude to Cheng Qiqi for saving his daughter's life.

"Quickly, bring the things in."

Chu Zheng stepped aside and had the coachman and maid carry the things in. The boxes and boxes startled Cheng Qiqi.

"no."

Cheng Qiqi repeatedly refused, saying, "Sister Zhengzheng."

"Qiqi, don't worry, I didn't send you anything expensive."

Chu Zheng pulled Cheng Qiqi to stand aside. His daughter, Tangtang, had already been taken by Jin Sui'an to a corner to look at the rabbits. His daughter had eaten something in the morning and wanted to come find Jin Sui'an, which made Chu Zheng very happy.

"The fabric, you see, is just the most ordinary cotton."

Chu Zheng opened the box, which was filled with ordinary cotton cloth: "You'll find these cotton cloths just what you need, and you'll definitely like this too."

Chu Zheng picked out a piece of cloth and said, "Fine linen is perfect for making menstrual belts. I also brought you a lot of cotton. You can sew them together properly, and it will be even more convenient."

Chu Zheng lowered his voice and said, "Then there's the snacks. I want to thank An'an for saving my Tangtang, and also for treating Tangtang to chive pancakes."

"Yesterday was the best meal Tangtang ate."

Chu Zheng looked at her with a smile and said, "I was just saying I was planning to have lunch at your house today. If you refuse, I'll feel bad about staying for lunch."

"..."

Cheng Qiqi fell silent, looking at Xu Ji's pastries. This was probably the most expensive one.

She would definitely not accept expensive gifts from Chu Zheng, but these cotton cloth, fine linen, and cotton are exactly what they need right now. They are not expensive, but they are very useful.

They bought plenty of cotton cloth, but with so much rough work, the cotton cloth ran out very quickly.

Therefore, they also bought a lot of coarse cloth from overseas merchants, which they used for patching and making clothes, and it was very good.

"And this is something good, you definitely didn't prepare it."

Chu Zheng took out the last gift and said, "Look, this mosquito repellent sachet is very effective. You should all take it, there are a lot of mosquitoes in Lingnan."

"The aroma of herbs is very strong."

Cheng Qiqi took a sniff. This had a fainter fragrance than the mosquito repellent sachets that Heitu and the others had prepared before, but the herbal scent was still quite strong.

"The fragrance won't be enough. You came last winter, right? Summers in Lingnan are long, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains. You should have brought these sachets with you earlier."

"Last year, my daughter Tangtang was covered in mosquito bites and couldn't sleep well at night."

Chu Zheng's words made Cheng Qiqi realize that Lingnan was not like the capital. Although the mosquito repellent sachets had a strong medicinal fragrance, they were still very effective.

"Thank you, Sister Zhengzheng."

As Cheng Qiqi spoke, she belatedly realized, "Look at me, I was so busy talking that I forgot to invite Sister Zhengzheng for tea."

A short while later, Cheng Qiqi arrived carrying a bamboo cup filled with jasmine tea.

"The bamboo cup is quite unique."

Chu Zheng took the bamboo cup. It was a finely polished bamboo cup. It was her first time drinking jasmine tea. The light jasmine fragrance blended with the bamboo cup, creating an elegant feeling.

"Don't laugh at me, Sister Zhengzheng, we made all of this ourselves."

Cheng Qiqi answered generously, saying that they were now exiled prisoners, and even if they had good things, they shouldn't take them out to avoid attracting attention. If it weren't for leading the villagers to make money, they probably wouldn't have the good life they have now in the village.

The bamboo cups were made by Master Jin. Later, after Heitu arrived, he quietly polished all the bamboo cups, which is why they are so exquisite now.

"You also make your own flower tea?"

Chu Zheng asked, "Qiqi, can I buy it?"

"No need to buy any, I'll just give some to Sister Zhengzheng."

Cheng Qiqi blurted out that when she was making jasmine dew before, the villagers wanted to tear the trees bare. After the dew was finished, she even fried more than ten kilograms of jasmine tea.

Everyone in the village took a little, but Cheng Qiqi kept six or seven catties of jasmine tea for herself.

In the family, only a few women like to drink camellia tea; the men just drink water.

"OK."

Chu Zheng didn't stand on ceremony and chatted with Cheng Qiqi about cooking methods. She said, "Why are my chive pancakes not as fragrant as yours?"

"..."

Cheng Qiqi fell silent. Everything in the soil of the space smelled delicious. Her eyes darted around and she said, "Maybe it's because I'm with An'an, everything tastes good?"

She wasn't just praising her daughter; her daughter An'an was like a little sun.

"right."

Chu Zheng nodded happily and said, "With An'an watching over you, people will forget all their worries."

"Tangtang has a sweet smile, but she's a little too thin."

Cheng Qiqi said, "Later, I'll have An'an take Tangtang to pick rabbit grass and jasmine flowers. When the children are tired and hungry, they'll naturally want to eat."

"Was I too meticulous in raising them before?"

After exchanging ideas with Cheng Qiqi, Chu Zheng offered to play with the two children and told Cheng Qiqi to go about her own business.

Cheng Qiqi was happy to be free and didn't follow. She still had a lot of things to do. The seeds she bought yesterday needed to be planted, and she needed to go and check on them to put her mind at ease.

Liu Suyi and the others were cutting spring clothes in the room. After cooperating with the embroidery workshop, Liu Suyi agreed to provide twelve sets of spring clothes to the workshop. Therefore, for the next four days, they were each responsible for three sets of spring clothes for each person.

Chu Zheng followed behind Jin Sui'an and Tangtang, with Jin Yun taking care of them like an older sister. Jin Yun didn't talk much, but she was very attentive. She would correct and remind them if they were in any danger or did anything wrong.

Jin Suian was like a cheerful little lark, the kind who could chat with even the ants on the road.

Chu Zheng followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far. Tangtang had a smile on her face the whole time, and her dimples made her look exceptionally beautiful!

Jasmine flowers, not artificially grown, grow here and there. Jin Sui'an, wearing a small straw hat, hums a little tune, making people feel happy.

Jin Suian seemed tireless, like a diligent little bee, picking flowers from one jasmine tree and then moving on to the next, working up a sweat.

Tangtang rarely does such things. Chu Zheng was about to step forward when he remembered Cheng Qiqi's words: When you're tired, you'll naturally be hungry.

So Chu Zheng stopped again and instructed her maid, "Dongzao, go and see if there's any sweet soup. Send some to them."

"Thank you, Aunt Chu, for the sweet soup! It's so sweet and delicious!"

When Jin Sui'an received the sweet soup, her words were even sweeter than the soup itself.

"sweet."

Tangtang took a sip, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jin Suian.

"Huh! Little sister, you can talk?"

Jin Sui'an was stunned, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Tangtang and said, "Little sister, call me big sister!"
