After a while, Su Qing'er brought a plate of silk vegetables and a few steamed buns, and said to Zhou Hao: "The slave family can only have these things in the poor, and I hope that the husband will not dislike them." ”

Zhou Hao smiled: "How can it be, this is already very good." ”

After Zhou Hao had a meal, he said to Su Qing'er: "What are you going to do today?" ”

Su Qing'er said: "Usually in the morning I pick mulberry leaves, when the former husband of the slave family was there, the family still planted a few acres of land, since his death, I can't plant the land alone, so I sold the livestock." ”

Live here for two or three days first, and then think of a way to make money, and after a month, take Su Qing'er to leave the mainland and go overseas or south. No matter how good the life of the peasant family is, there will be a greater war, and we can only take one step at a time.

Zhou Hao said: "Today I will go to pick mulberry with my lady." ”

Su Qing'er shook her head and said, "Xianggong should stay in the house, you haven't done this job, and besides, it's not good for the people in the village to see the two of us together, I'll do it." ”

Zhou Hao looked at Su Qing'er's beautiful appearance, and couldn't help but step forward and hug her, kiss him on the face and said, "We are already two people, let's go together today." ”

Zhou Hao remembered that in ancient times, every woman must abide by the three obedience and four virtues, and after the death of her husband, a woman can only be single for the rest of her life.

Zhou Hao said: "Fang is in a big mess today, everyone is running for their own survival, who will care about this, my dear lady, you can rest assured, I dare to guarantee that no one will say." ”

Su Qing'er hugged Zhou Hao and said softly: "Okay, I'll listen to Xianggong." ”

Zhou Hao kissed Su Qing'er on the face and said, "I am my good lady, you can rest assured, I will definitely let you live a happy life." ”

Su Qing'er had never enjoyed this kind of gentleness and thoughtfulness, her former husband was rough and violent, and he always spoke ill of Su Qing'er, and even often regarded Su Qing'er as inappropriate, at this time, when she heard Zhou Hao's soft words, she was also excited, and even if she died for the other party, Su Qing'er would not hesitate.

"Xianggong, don't say it again, the little woman really doesn't know what to do......"

Zhou Hao got down to business and said, "Is there the safest place at home?" ”

Su Qing'er said puzzledly: "The safest place? ”

"Can you hide this box, that is, if someone climbs over the wall and enters the house, they won't find this box." Zhou Hao pointed to his huge box and said.

When Su Qing'er heard this, her eyes lit up, this box must be filled with gold and silver treasures, and she will have a head in the future, so she said: "There is a kiln in the ear room, where you can put it." ”

On the ground of the ear room, Su Qing'er walked to a corner, gently pulled a wooden plank, and sure enough, a kiln was revealed.

Zhou Hao looked inside, it was three meters deep, and it seemed that it was safest to put this box inside.

In the early morning, the sun is shining, the crisp and pleasant birdsong is constantly coming, the green grass is like grass, the willow waves are smoky, walking on the stone road in the mountains, Zhou Hao feels that everything is so comfortable.

Walking through a few low hills, there is a col in front of you, and there is a mulberry forest between the cols.

Su Qing'er pointed to the mulberry forest in front of her and said, "There it is." ”

The mulberry forest is sparse, and the forest meadow still has the dew of last night. Su Qing'er held a long bamboo pole, the bamboo pole was tied to a scimitar similar to a sickle, Su Qing'er held the bamboo pole, aimed at one or two mulberry branches on the mulberry tree, like mowing grass, a pull, the whole mulberry leaves were pulled down, and then, the pulled mulberry leaves were put into the bamboo basket.

Zhou Hao looked at it again, and then pulled down from the mulberry tree according to Su Qing'er's appearance.

It didn't take long for the two bamboo rafts brought to be full, and in the past, Su Qing'er used to carry them back with a flat pole, but this time it could only be done by Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao said: "How many days can these two baskets of mulberry leaf silkworms eat?" ”

Su Hao'er said: "One day, I came here every day to pick two baskets. ”

On the mountain road, Zhou Hao carried two baskets of mulberry leaves, and Su Qing'er followed behind him, all the way home.

Walking on the mountain road, Su Qing'er looked at Zhou Hao's tall and burly figure, thinking that her future life was finally hopeful, and she was so happy that she was about to fly.

Back home, Su Qing'er picked out the silkworms in the bamboo basket one by one with a pair of slender jade hands, and then poured out the residual leaves and silkworm feces of the bamboo basket, and then spread new mulberry leaves, and then put the silkworms inside.

Zhou Hao saw that this was not much different from his method of raising silkworms when he was a child, and he also helped Su Qing'er to do it, and all morning, he did two things: picking mulberry leaves and exchanging mulberry leaves.

Su Qing'er said that she used to repeat like this every day.

After lunch, Zhou Hao took out a history of the Ming Dynasty and flipped through it casually, Su Qing'er was illiterate, so she didn't ask Zhou Hao what she saw, and began to sew and mend her clothes.

When Zhou Hao saw the part of the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he suddenly asked Su Qing'er: "What month and day is today?" ”

Su Qing'er said casually: "When I entered the city yesterday, it was the third day of the fourth month, and today should be the twelfth day of April. ”

On March 19, the city of Beijing was breached, on April 29, King Zhu Yousong was in charge of Nanjing, and on May 15, he was proclaimed emperor of Nanjing.

"I can't even live a month of leisure."

Zhou Hao covered his roll and sighed.

Su Qing'er stopped the needlework in her hand and said strangely: "Why can't you even live a month of idle life?" ”

Zhou Hao decided to take Su Qing'er south, stay in the south for a while, and then try to build a ship into the sea, after all, it will take a long time for the Manchu Qing to fight in the south.

"Oh, it's nothing, would you like to follow me to the Jiangnan area?"

Su Qing'er said: "Why did you go there, then the silkworms we raised ......"

Zhou Hao knew that she definitely didn't understand a woman like Su Qing'er talking about major historical events, so she said: "Are you willing to go, let's sell the silkworms to others." ”

Su Qing'er married into this village, her husband didn't treat herself as a person when he was alive, and after her husband died, she was bullied by the people in the village, and she had no feelings for this village. ”

Zhou Hao moved to Su Qing'er's side and said softly: "I'm also out of helplessness, you will understand, if you don't like to go, I won't force you." ”

Su Qing'er hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I'm willing to go there, you must not lose me." ”

Zhou Hao smiled, kissed Su Qing'er's pretty face, and said, "I am willing to leave a little beauty like you alone." ”

Su Qing'er leaned on Zhou Hao's arms and said softly: "No matter where you go, I am willing to follow you, you know what, you are the best man I have ever met in my life." ”
