Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Because Wang Shiyu didn't want to take the imperial examination, but just wanted to avoid being illiterate, especially some books about music, chess, calligraphy, painting and women's crafts. She read more of them, but she couldn't understand the professional numbers. There was no such skill in the books she brought before. The main reason was that these things were all family inheritance and never passed on to outsiders, which led to the extinction of many inheritances.

Because this dynasty also advocated that women without talent are virtuous, but they also looked at the girl's inner qualities, as the skills of music, chess, calligraphy and painting were essential. However, her parents had never taught her any of them when she was growing up, or it might be that no one in her family knew how to do it.

Not to mention the women workers and making clothes. Even when making clothes, Mo Ruru would just take the cloth back to her room and make them. She never asked to teach Wang Shiyu, as if she was deliberately avoiding her daughter. Wang Shiyu didn't care about making clothes. You have to know that she was born in the era of information explosion, and making clothes was a piece of cake for her. She knew a few common patterns, after all, she was from an orphanage.

So now she could only take the cloth in the space at night and slowly study how to embroider. No matter how good the text teaching was, it was not as good as someone demonstrating it directly to her, and even correcting herself when she made mistakes.

Especially because of her rough hands, she couldn't do these jobs. The barbs on her hands could scratch the silk at any time, making it impossible for her to do embroidery.

So she was taking care of her hands anxiously. In order to make her hands more tender and smooth, she even soaked them in milk and eggs.

As her hands became softer day by day, the calluses on them gradually faded away. Although her hands did not change much, except that they became much softer and whiter, the old man noticed it. He didn't know if he had installed a surveillance camera on him.

She had better fabrics than those of this dynasty, but was reluctant to use them, so she had been using cotton cloth to learn female embroidery techniques. She discovered the Shu embroidery techniques in an ancient book, especially the two-color embroidery, which looked very high-end.

She is also a novice and does not know how to do it at all. She is now training her hands, otherwise her hands would be too rough. Every time she takes the thread and cloth, she would scratch the cloth. She can't even split the thread properly. The split thread will have burrs and she will not be able to embroider.

The old man didn't say anything else, but arranged for her to do a lot of laborious work, such as sweeping the yard, picking up various shells and cooking oysters at the beach, and even gave the laundry, fire and dishes to Wang Shiyu. Because Second Aunt was born into a scholar's family, she was very good at embroidery, but Wang Shiyu couldn't do it since she came here. The old man asked Second Aunt to embroider in the house, and the rest of the work was done by Wang Shiyu and Mo Ruru.

Wang Shiyu also noticed the old man's secret little action, but she still didn't say much, because she felt that the old man was the elder after all, and the things he arranged had to be done. So from then on, Wang Shiyu no longer used milk and eggs to care for her hands, but chose to soak them slowly in hot water at night. This not only relieves the fatigue of working during the day, but also relieves the fatigue of the hands.

When she works during the day, she would stick some hand-sticking gloves on the palms of her hands. This not only protects her hands from being roughened by the bamboo pole, but also prevents her hands from getting hurt when she is washing dishes, picking up firewood or cracking shells.

Because her hands turned black rapidly during this period, the old man did not continue to assign her other tasks.

Instead, he took his two sons to go fishing at sea every day. As the family's boat was small and they didn't have a decent fishing net, they could only use a large homemade net to catch fish. Even if there were fishing nets for sale in Jizhou City, he would not buy them. Obviously, the family had plenty of money, but he just wouldn't buy them.

This job is actually very dangerous. Their wooden boat is not big, about eight meters long and four meters wide. They can bring back some fish from the sea every day, but the selling price is not high. They can earn thirty or forty copper coins every day, which is not a lot, but it can support the family for a day.

In fact, this money is not enough for the two children to study and learn calligraphy. Now the two children rely on the old man's guidance for their studies. When there is nothing else to do, the old man will drive the boat to Zhou Island alone to see how the Zhang family is doing. Every time he goes there, he brings a lot of bags, as if that place is his home.

Ever since she discovered that the old man's attitude had changed, Wang Shiyu had never talked to him privately again. Every time she seemed like an invisible person. But this time, when the old man went to Zhou Island, she suddenly felt a little flustered for some reason.

It seemed like something was about to happen, but the old man had walked that road countless times, so even if he got there now, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?

Or maybe something was coming towards her. Wang Shiyu frowned and looked at the road where the old man left. She hoped that the old man would not commit suicide. She was not a pushover.

Sure enough, the old man came back directly in the afternoon. Apart from being a little wet by the sea water, he was not injured at all.

On the next morning, when it was originally scheduled to go fishing, the old man asked his two sons to rest at home. He took Zhou Qingyun away directly, as if he was going to take him to Zhou Island, but this was inconsistent with the old man's behavior during this period.

Wang Shiyu, who was wiping the furniture with a rag, couldn't help but clench her hands, and then finished the work in her hands expressionlessly, because her grandmother was now bedridden. Wang Shiyu had one more task every day, which was to wipe her grandmother's body. Her mother was already very tired. The food, clothing and shelter of the whole family were all on her mother, and the money from the second aunt's embroidery work was also in the hands of the old man.

After wiping the old lady's body, Wang Shiyu came to the door of her house and looked at the scenery in the distance. She didn't know what she was thinking. She just hoped that she would not be too disappointed. Anyway, she had no hope anymore.

Then she came to the entrance of the cellar, and looking at the cellar that had been moved, she understood in her heart what the old man wanted to do now, but the path he chose would cause their entire family to be buried with him if they were not careful. She just didn't know what kind of role she was in his eyes.

Wang Shiyu suppressed her inner anxiety. As time passed, news finally came from Jinling. After the news came from Jinling, her grandfather went crazy. What he was doing now clearly showed that he wanted to bury the whole family with him.

It turned out that the current crown prince had been deposed, and the crown princess joined forces with Prime Minister Liu who had returned from Baoshan. The two of them were actually trying to force the palace to rebel. You have to know that with Prime Minister Liu's status, he had disciples all over the world, but at that time he cooperated with Prince Yong to mint private coins, which was a big disaster for Shatou. The emperor suppressed it at that time. Now that Prime Minister Liu has finally returned, the emperor will naturally stretch out his powerful claws.

As a result, the two men failed to bribe the right people, and after entering the palace, they began their villain speeches. The emperor listened to them patiently.

He was directly captured by the emperor who was prepared, and the crown prince was implicated by his own crown princess. If the crown prince was not deposed at this time, the emperor would have no way to appease all the civil and military officials. This matter was originally the crown prince's surrender, so the crown prince was only deposed.

The news of uprisings by princes in other places also reached the palace. Now that the prince was no longer suppressing him, the news naturally reached the emperor's ears. Now, because he demoted a large number of loyal ministers and generals, a careful count of all the civil and military officials in the court found that there was actually no one available. At this time, he actually thought of the Zhang family far away in Qiong Island.

However, he killed most of the Zhang family members and only left the main branch of the Zhang family. It is estimated that even if he brings them back, the Zhang family will no longer work for him, so it is better not to do it.

Out of desperation, he could only choose to lead the army in person. Now he is the crown prince of King Rui to stabilize the court. After all, the crown prince has been a crown prince since birth. Over the years, he has learned how to rule under the command of his subordinates from His Majesty, and he is very powerful. The crown prince was able to suppress the princes from all over the place when the emperor was still in power. It can be seen that although the current crown prince is a little foolish when it comes to women, he is still the wise and brave crown prince in the court.

After the emperor left, Prince Rui was left as regent. Although many people could not accept this choice, they had no way to resist and could only agree.

After all, the prince's control over the court was extremely strong. Even Prime Minister Liu, who committed a crime with his wife, was put in solitary confinement by him. In order to allow Liu Yong, who was still on the front line, to have no worries, he went directly to Wucheng to bring Liu Yong's wife and children to Jinling.
