Gui Yingqiu entered the palace at the age of fourteen and worked as a palace maid in the Shangshan Bureau for ten years.
In the past ten years, I have seen all kinds of delicacies and delicacies, and I have also seen through the strife among wealthy families.
After leaving the palace, she just wanted to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where she could work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and spend the rest of her life in peace.
With the accumulated money and a bag of precious seeds, she took her godmother and rode a bullock cart into the mountains of Nanling.
Buy a few acres of thin farmland, build three leaky houses, clean up the wasteland and filth in the morning, and return home with a hoe in the moonlight——
That's all she wanted.
But I didn't expect that one day when I was repairing the roof, I missed my footing and accidentally fell into the arms of that silent man.
Zhou Yan, as her name suggests, is as cold and taciturn as a stone, but she always appears when she needs her most:
Help her cut down the tangled old tree roots, patch up the leaky roof, and leave the tanned leather behind.
She thanked her with delicious food, such as mushroom and pheasant soup, chestnut rice, bracken bacon, scrambled eggs with lichen, pickled plum glutinous rice, mung bean jelly, roasted chicken with lotus leaves...
He ate in silence, washed the earthen pot, and the next day there was a neat and dry bundle of firewood at Yingqiu's door.
Unexpectedly, the war was caught off guard and burned outside the mountain. The troops were defeated and bandits were crossing the border like locusts.
Zhou Yan found her: "There is a place in the mountains where I can survive. Can I leave?"
Gui Yingqiu looked back at the small courtyard she had just built, where the vegetables and seedlings were green, and she was filled with reluctance.
But the most important thing right now is to stay alive.
She picked up the clay pot containing the seeds and said, "Let's go."
Go deep into the mountains, survive in desperate situations, and build a mountain paradise bit by bit.
Fertile fields and beautiful houses, where chickens and dogs can hear each other, smoke curls from the cooking pots, and peace is felt all year round.
After tasting the mountains and plains and living the ordinary life with flavor, you will know that the ultimate taste in the world is pure joy.
