Chapter 1345
There are only two quilts, how can we sleep with so many people?
Protector Lei and Chuan Qiong sleep in one room, Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi share a room, Chu Yuexi and Princess Qinghui share a room, three rooms with two quilts, and one room with one quilt are not enough.
Chuanqiong and the others were servants, so they would not ask for quilts, but even so, two quilts were enough for one room.
Finally, Xia Zihan and Princess Qinghui each carried a quilt and entered their rooms. Then, they asked Lady Poison for some animal skins.
In the backyard of Wandu Valley, there are many animal skins hanging, including tiger, black bear, cheetah, wolf skin, fox skin, etc.
Xia Zihan took two big black bear furs and folded them on the bed. On top of them, she laid two furoshikis that she had brought to carry things. The furoshikis were not big, and they were sewn together with needles in the middle to form a long piece. Strips of cloth, used as sheets, are fine.
Then put the bedding sent by the poisonous lady on top.
Princess Qinghui ran over and took a look, her eyes lit up, "Sister Chu Yu, you are really smart. Why didn't I think of using furoshiki to make bed sheets? I also thought about using Brother Yuexi's cloak to cushion me at night. But the cloak is not as good as the furoshiki. Well, this is a good idea. I happen to have two furoshiki, so I’ll get them too.”
After saying that, he ran away happily.
After it gets dark, everyone starts cooking.
There is a field of vegetables planted behind the wooden house. In the golden autumn, it is the season of vegetable harvest. The shelves are covered with beans, pumpkins, winter melons, wrapped round Chinese cabbage, round cabbage, cauliflower, etc.
There are also radishes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
Xia Zihan and Princess Qinghui each held a sword and went to dig sweet potatoes.
Chu Jingqi's eyelids jumped when she saw it, "Ayu, that is my sword."
This sword cuts iron like clay and shines with cold light. It ranks fourth in the world. It was given to him by Ayu. He has always cherished it and often took it out to clean it.
Now, his sword is being used by his wife to dig sweet potatoes and eat them.
"I know it's yours." Xia Zihan looked innocent, "Your sword is sharp and numb, and it's easy to dig sweet potatoes."
"Sister Chu Yu, are these enough to eat?" Princess Qinghui wiped the hot sweat from her forehead, and the dirt on her hands was stained on her face, but she smiled very happily, as if she liked this very much Activity.
Xia Zihan was also in a good mood. After seeing more than twenty sweet potatoes, they found enough to eat, so they stopped digging. They went to pick a big pumpkin and planned to make pumpkin rice. They also picked a lot of spinach.
Chuan Qiong and four others also went to the back mountain where there was no poison and hunted more than a dozen prey. In the evening, everyone made a shabu-shabu to eat.
The Poison Madam and Doctor Bai were in the poison training room and did not come out to eat. However, Chu Yuexi filled a large bowl of cooked spinach and meat, and brought in two large bowls of pumpkin rice.
Wandu Valley has few rooms and bedding, but there are a lot of pots, pans, and utensils for cooking. There are not that many chopsticks, so they just cut out a dozen pairs of bamboo chopsticks. There aren't that many bowls, so they just cut them. I cut a few bamboo joints and made a dozen bamboo bowls.
The pumpkin rice is also made by Xia Zihan using bamboo tubes. It is fragrant and very delicious.
This was Princess Qinghui's first time eating bamboo tube rice. She kept praising it, "We will make bamboo tube rice tomorrow, so just add sweet potatoes. The sweet potato rice is also delicious."
Under the fire, they roasted a dozen sweet potatoes that were bigger than a man's fist. When the shabu-shabu was almost done, they smelled the sweet potato fragrance.
Princess Qinghui muttered, "Brother Yuexi, quickly pull out a few sweet potatoes and give them to Master and Mistress to eat first."
After Princess Qinghui accepted the bedding from Lady Poison, she directly changed her name and called her Master's Wife. When Lady Poison heard it for the first time, her cheeks twisted. However, she only hesitated for a moment and did not object to Princess Qinghui being called that.
After all, Chu Yuexi was adopted by Divine Doctor Bai and given to the Chu family. Now, Chu Yuexi calls Divine Doctor Bai master, and she is Chu Yuexi's biological mother. If Chu Yuexi recognizes her, she cannot call her mother, but can only call her master's wife.
Therefore, this means that Princess Qinghui has recognized her.
Although Chu Yuexi had not yet called her personally, the smile on Madam Poison's face was already much brighter.
When Chu Yuexi went to deliver sweet potatoes, Lady Poison said with a smile, "Son, these are enough for mom and dad. Go and eat them yourself and leave us alone."
Chu Yuexi's ears turned red, but she was not angry. She hummed in a low voice, turned around and left.
The next day, after Xia Zihan had breakfast, she took Chu Jingqi, Chuan Qiong, Gan Song, and Protector Lei to the back mountain to help her collect medicinal materials.
Zhusheng Zhuyuan went hunting to collect firewood.
Chu Yuexi took her daughter-in-law and son to play in the vegetable field. Princess Qinghui seemed to have fallen in love with picking vegetables. Carrying a vegetable basket, the family of three went to the vegetable field happily.
Saburo had so much fun that he pulled down all the beans hanging from the pergola. Even the baby beans, which were just thicker than a piece of string, were pulled off by his little hands.
When Chu Yuexi saw that her daughter-in-law and son were having fun, she pretended not to notice.
Princess Qinghui was picking vegetables for the first time. She didn't know anything. Even if she did, she wouldn't stop her son.
For her, a few vegetables are not as important as her son's smile.
What's more, she herself picked pumpkins that were not yet ripe but still had green skin.
The vegetable baskets for carrying vegetables and the baskets that Xia Zihan and others carried on their backs to pick herbs were all made overnight on the bamboo sheng last night.
Zhu Sheng knew how to weave vegetable baskets and back baskets. When Xia Zihan found out, he asked him to weave several back baskets overnight, and the ropes were replaced with thin rattan.
Princess Qinghui saw him and asked him to make a vegetable basket.
The two of them filled the vegetable basket, and Princess Qinghui smiled happily, "Brother Yuexi, are these enough for us to eat for lunch?"
"That's enough, even for dinner." He doesn't specialize in eating vegetables, and there were a few pheasants that he didn't cook yesterday. Chu Yu said that he would stew a pheasant with radish for dinner tonight.
"Qinghui, I'm digging out some radishes and giving you a sword." Chu Yuexi threw the sword to Princess Qinghui.
Sanlang's eyes were bright, "Dad, I'll give it to mother, you give it to me, and I'll give it to mother."
The little body ran over, not caring that his hands were covered with mud. He reached out and took the sword in Chu Yuexi's hand, and ran to hand it to his mother.
Seeing that her son's face was stained with dirt, Princess Qinghui smiled heartlessly.
At noon, Xia Zihan and his party did not come back. It was not until evening that they saw each of them returning happily with a basket full of herbs.
Princess Qinghui smiled and said, "Sister Chu Yu, this time, it's better for you. I caught a few workers to get the herbal medicine for you. I don't care. When the herbal medicine comes out, I will share it."
