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

Chapter 51
Zhou Shimu exhaled a deep breath, it was really not easy.

Zeng Chusheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He finally learned it, otherwise he was afraid that if he continued to teach him, he would be forced to drive people away.

He accepted the gift from the girl from the Zhou family. If he didn't teach her well, he wouldn't be able to explain to the girl Zhou.

Zeng Chusheng: "Okay, now that you have learned how to cut bamboo strips, let's start learning how to make backpacks."

"Weave the bottom of the backpack first. This step is the most critical. By the way, we also need to cut a thinner bamboo strip to fix the bottom."

Zeng Chusheng explained to them step by step. After making the bottom, then weave the surrounding circle.

He knitted one layer and made room for the two brothers to try knitting.

Zhou Mingmu understood it, but when it came time to do it himself, he forgot how to make it up.

I don’t remember whether the bamboo strips pass through here or from below. There are too many bamboo strips and they are too messy.

Zhou Mingyi can’t remember clearly either.

Zeng Chusheng sighed and continued to guide, teaching them step by step.

……

Zhou Shitang carried a basket on her back into the mountain. She squatted on horseback for two hours and walked such a long way. Her legs were already very tired and the soles of her feet ached.

But she can bear it.

Compared with the road of exile, the distance traveled today was relatively small.

Zhou Shitang continued to search for medicinal materials.

She guessed that the soles of her feet might have blisters and needed medicinal materials, and the prescription Uncle Su mentioned also required medicinal materials.

Uncle Su is right, after practicing martial arts it is best to take a medicinal bath to loosen the bones.

Half of those two prescriptions are common medicinal materials, and half are more precious medicinal materials. I don't know if these medicinal materials are available in the mountains and forests.

It would be best if you can find it in the mountains and forests. If you can't find it, you have to find a way to buy it from outside, which is not that easy.

If she didn't take a bath, she was afraid that her body wouldn't be able to withstand the high-intensity martial arts training. After all, she would have to work for the government in half a month.

If she was assigned to build the city wall, she would really be autistic.

Zhou Shitang held a wooden stick and used it to clear the way. She walked for a while and saw wild onions ahead.

Her eyes lit up, she ran over, took a closer look, and found that it was really a wild onion.

She was so excited that she couldn't help but jump on the spot twice.

It's green onions. They are very fragrant when used in stir-fries. I finally found a side dish that eliminates the need to eat those tasteless things all day long.

Zhou Shitang slapped his mouth.

She misses ginger slices, star anise, cooking wine, green peppercorns...

Zhou Shitang shook her head to stop herself from thinking any more. She walked to the wild onions and squatted down, digging.

Her eyes were bright and she couldn't help humming a cheerful song.

Her mind was spinning.

Eat part of it slowly, and then plant some at home, so you can have a steady supply of wild onions!

When the wild onions grow, cut off the top part, leaving the onion head to continue to grow, and she continues to cut.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

It would be nice to have eggs, she hasn't had eggs in a long time.

Zhou Shitang finished digging the wild onions and put them all into the basket on his back. He looked at the big basket with a smile on his face.

She felt that her legs were no longer tired and the soles of her feet no longer hurt.

She decided to ask the aunt later if she could exchange an egg with something else.She wants to eat eggs.

Zhou Shitang stood up, looked around, chose a direction, and continued looking for food.

After she had left the incense stick for about a while, she saw a woman sitting on the ground dealing with the thorns on her hands. The woman's expression was calm and calm, not anxious or impatient.

Zhou Shitang didn't see anything to eat around, and she was about to leave.

The woman looked up at Zhou Shitang.

The two people's eyes met, and when they saw each other's appearance clearly, they were stunned at the same time.

Qiao Yunzhi was dressed in old clothes that had been washed white, and her hair was tied up on her head with a wooden hairpin.

Her eyes were bright, and when she saw Zhou Shitang's stunned look, she smiled slowly and said, "You are the daughter of the old Zhou family, right?"

She used an affirmative tone.

"Do you know my father?" Zhou Shitang blurted out, and after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but beat his head in frustration.

This lady looks a lot like Su Huaili and is about the same age as her mother. She must be Su Huaili's mother, the former Mrs. Zhenbei Hou.

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou often attended various banquets and must have known her father.

What a stupid question she asked.

Zhou Shitang quickly calmed down and smiled, "Aunt, you are Ah Huai's mother."

Qiao Yunzhi nodded, "I have long heard that your family came to Lingnan. You look very similar to your father, so I recognized you at a glance."

"I have heard Ah Huai mention you in the past two days. When I saw it today, you are indeed a smart and knowledgeable girl."

Being praised by her elders as soon as they met, Zhou Shitang smiled shyly. When she smiled, two pear dimples appeared around her mouth, making her look cute and naive.

Zhou Shitang: "Aunt, I'm not as smart as you say."

Qiao Yunzhi smiled, "What a cute kid."

"What are you doing sitting here?" Zhou Shitang walked over.

Qiao Yunzhi sighed, "I accidentally stepped on a trap and twisted my foot. Fortunately, it's nothing serious. I just need to rest for a while."

Zhou Shitang walked up to Qiao Yunzhi and squatted down, his eyes falling on her hands, "I saw your hand was pricked by those thorns. Let me help you pull them out. These thorns must be pulled out as soon as possible to avoid getting deeper."

The thicker thorns had already been pulled out by Qiao Yunzhi. It was difficult for her to pull out the smaller thorns alone, so she did not refuse Zhou Shitang.

Qiao Yunzhi stretched out his hand in front of Zhou Shitang, "Then I'll trouble you."

Zhou Shitang put Qiao Yunzhi's hand on his own, lowered his head, and carefully pulled out the thorn, "No trouble, no trouble."

"Uncle Su taught me martial arts. I will treat him as a master from now on. Then you will be my master's wife. I will help my master's wife pull out the thorns. It will not be troublesome at all."

When Qiao Yunzhi heard her words, a smile spread in his eyes, "I really envy your mother to have such a lovely and well-behaved daughter like you."

She had only two sons in her life. The eldest son fell ill and died on the way to exile.

Now there is only one younger son left.

The current situation at home is not suitable for continuing to give birth, and I don’t know if I can survive after giving birth.

"Aunt, you don't have to be envious. You are my wife, and I will be your half daughter from now on, your soft daughter." Zhou Shitang's eyes were bright and dazzling.

After she pulled out a thorn, she continued: "Uncle Su was too serious when he taught me martial arts. I am not familiar with him yet. When we become more familiar, I will ask his opinion and see if he is willing to formally accept me." As a disciple, you will be my legitimate master wife when the time comes."

Zhou Shitang's tone was cheerful, as if he was eating something delicious.

After Qiao Yunzhi heard it, his mood improved, "He will agree."

Zhou Shitang raised his head, his eyes brightened, he couldn't believe it, "Really?"
