The old lady looked at the new clothes and bedding on the kang, as well as the dozen forehead wrinkles on the table, and more than a dozen pairs of single to cotton shoes on the ground. Although there was no piece of silk and satin on the top, all of them were made of cotton linen, it could be seen that the people who work on the job were very attentive, from cutting to cotton, to sewing and embroidery, every stitch and thread were particularly meticulous.

The old lady looked at the foreheads embroidered with various auspicious patterns: "This child is really like Chunshi. Now I, an old lady, have no chance to go out to meet guests. I have to work hard to embroider these hard flowers. I have a cloth strip blocked my forehead and was not exposed to the wind."

Although the old lady said these words, she could see that she was happy. Most of the needles and threads were made of spring threads. At that time, spring threads were the maid who was in charge of the needles and threads in the old lady's room. Naturally, the needle girl Hong was outstanding in the Tang family.

The old lady took out a pair of cloth shoes again, and looked at the soles of the shoes and couldn't help laughing: "This thick needle and big thread are obviously made by Hong Chui. She is not a material for needle and thread."

He looked at the bedding again: "Yun Pian has always been afraid of the cold, and the quilt she made is thicker than others! Huh, and this big pillow is even heavier than a stone mill!" He couldn't help laughing as he said that.

The old lady looked at other needles and threads carefully again, and her expression became more and more silent from the initial surprise. After reading it, she carefully checked it and didn't say anything for a long time.

During dinner, the old man didn't eat with everyone for the first time. He only used a bowl of porridge on the kang table and lay down early.

Zhan Yan said less than usual. Yanran asked for a long time before she said, "Those clothes, shoes and socks are not done by beg for cleverness. I can recognize the work she does, especially the inner clothes. I have only worn the inner clothes she makes over the years... She is the best-looking in our room, so someone must have bought it first..."

Yanran didn't know how to persuade her, but said, "It's a good idea to save some of them."

Zhan Yan sighed deeply: "Oh, the fate of the master and servant is together..."

"This is also their own fate." Yanran said.

Zhan Yan was still so upset that he didn't taste a piece of the freshly stewed meat.

Of course, compared to these regrets, the Tang family's yard is still more laughing today, especially when everyone hears that the old man and his family are not so difficult in prison, and they are even energetic about business practices. This is really the greatest comfort for women who are worried day and night.

Ruan also said: "Even if the old man and the others are in prison, they have not stopped thinking and learning. There are many children here who should be studying, and they should not be behind."

This sentence is a good thing, and everyone nodded after hearing it.

Xiaoxiao said, "I haven't had time to take stock of the cart of things sent by Ruicai. After hearing from Mr. Meng, Ruicai has prepared a lot of books for him."

"Miss Wei was so thoughtful that she even thought of the books." Shan Niang couldn't help but praise her.

The eldest lady, who has been silent all these days, also spoke at this time: "It's really hard for this child. Now that we can have this heart when we are in trouble, we are already a very rare good child... As for what will happen in the future, it depends on Huan'er's fortune."

Everyone also lamented that Miss Wei was affectionate and righteous. She lowered her head and saw the meat in the bowl. She thought of Meng Qi's good news. Then she talked about Meng Jiu from Meng Qi, and couldn't help but make Yanran jokes. Yanran was so embarrassed that she dropped her chopsticks, turned around and returned to the room with a red face.

Because the old lady was not in the mood to eat, everyone did not dare to be too lively at the dining table. Soon after the meal, they started cleaning the table and washing dishes.

Because Ruan was curious about the books brought by Ruicai, she followed Xiaoxiao to check out the pile of goods in Ruicai. Han Keju also followed behind and couldn't help but be amazed when she saw it.

Xiaoxiao can't help but sigh at Ruicai's good intentions every time he sees something - Ruicai simply thinks of everything he can think of, and even thinks of everything others can't think of.

From mosquito nets to mosquito repellent, from deworming medicine to prickly heat powder, from bamboo door curtains to bamboo mats, from pots and pans to toiletries... I think of every bit of the life of ordinary people, and even the things in the cracks in the corners.

Every time he looked at one, Ruan also said, "Miss Wei is really urgent and needs it!"

Keju also said, "Sister Wei even thought of the broom, dustpan and handbag!" As he said that, his eyes lit up, "That's great, I have all this set of cushions! There are also ear-clearing diggers! My ears are itchy these two days, but I can't find them after searching them all!"

He smiled and shouted: "Hahaha! That's great! Fan! We finally have a fan!"

Speaking of fans, everyone has had a hard time saying that those friends who can deliver things are already very rare. There is no need to let others travel for a small fan. So no one has the nerve to ask for a fan, and just wants to use sycamore leaves to deal with a summer - but I didn't know that this year's Futian was so long and difficult.

Smiling happily counted the twenty big palm-leaf fans stacked together: "Everyone is rich! It's so good, I can fall asleep with the fan tonight! Sister Wei is so good, I'll recognize this second sister-in-law!"

The other three glanced speechlessly: Isn’t this easy to tell me about?

Xiaoxiao finally found the big bag of books. Seeing that there was an envelope inside, she put it away first and looked at the books in front of her: "Most of them are used by children to study! Now Keju and Xiaoqian are not afraid of being delayed! According to me, Aunt Fourth is knowledgeable and is just here to be a teacher!"

Ruan said modestly: "My knowledge is not as good as my third sister-in-law. If it were my third sister-in-law, it would be more beneficial."

Xiaoxiao said, "Then you two gentlemen will tell the students according to what they are good at!"

Keju inserted his mouth: "My fifth sister can also speak, so tell us about business principles!"

Xiaoxiao quickly said, "I dare not take out my experience in doing business. If I really talk about business, I have to be our grandmother!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this and agreed with this idea.

For a moment, Mianer found several boxes of purplish paste: "This is the brand of the Wen family. The purplish paste in their house is the best, and the taste is particularly fragrant!"

Xiaoxiao said, "Then get a box of each room, and those mosquito repellents and the like, so you can also get a good share. Aunt Fourth just needs to do the inbound and outbound accounts!"

Ruan nodded and soon prepared to use the account book to record these lists of warehouses.

In summer, in order to save lamp oil, Ruanshi took advantage of the last light to make records in the yard and checked and helped.

Wan'er and Zhan Yan helped each room to hang up mosquito nets; Zhen happily received brand new pots and pans from the "kuan"; Shan Niang was so happy to find that there was a tea stove, so she was so happy that the family finally didn't have to make tea with boiling water...

The eldest lady received a piece of pig pancreatic soap with a fragrance and asked in confusion: "Is this really used to wash the urine mesh for the child? Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste of things?"

Xiaoxiao said, "After all, it is a personal item for children. If you use soap powder, it is a bit too rough." As he said that, he carefully looked at the words on the packaging of the pig pancreas soap, "This is a special laundry soap, please use it with confidence!"

The eldest lady smelled the packet of soap powder again: "Wow, this soap powder is actually fragrant, it smells of jasmine!"

The women in the Tang family were surprised when they heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, they had never washed clothes by themselves before, so it was normal for them not to understand these detergents.

Xiaoxiao knew very well that Wen Xixiu had developed a fragrant soap powder at some time, and this was just a proposal he had made two sudden ideas in the past two years - now, this person has even realized the fragrance washing powder.

I remember that in my time, when I was very young, the smell of washing powder and soap was very bad, especially washing powder, which had a heavy chemical smell. Later, after a few years, it gradually became fragrant washing powder.

At this point, the Yuanlong Dynasty had surpassed the early 1990s...

While the sky was still bright, Xiaoxiao quickly read Ruicai's letter. His family was ready to cry. Unexpectedly, Ruicai was very optimistic in the letter, and even talked about the past jokingly: Regarding the flower draw game held in the old house of Wei, Ruicai drew Tumu. The flower poem at that time said that only the fragrance of Tumu is like wine, and it is not too late to bloom.

Ruicai specially drew a red line on this poem and wrote a sentence: It’s such a late life, and it’s impossible to accept it.

Xiaoxiao looked at it and started to smile, but there was a hint of tears in his smile.

For a moment, Yanran was coming out of the room, shaking the new collared big fan in her hand: "What are you looking at? You laugh like this."

Xiaoxiao told Yanran about the scene when everyone was drawing flower lottery together. The more they talked, the more they felt the hair was getting colder, as if fate had been calculated in advance.

Yanran also exclaimed: "No wonder Sister Dan Tai is so lucky. It turns out that she won the Flower God of February that day!" As she said that, she couldn't help but say: "Now Princess Ning is far away in Furong Country, I don't know if she has heard about Kyoto..."

Xiaoxiao nodded with certainty: "King Ning must be helping in secret, otherwise, these friends would send milk and meat, how could those officers and soldiers really turn a blind eye? Do you think a few scallion pancakes can really bribe them?"

Yanran nodded thoughtfully: "So that's it..." As she said that, she couldn't help asking, "What kind of flower did the fifth sister draw at the beginning?"

"cauliflower."

"...This is too accurate. Could it be that our family has already calculated that we will be driven here to farm?"

Xiaoxiao only smiled but didn't say anything, but I remembered the poem I had in my heart - where did the Taoist priests go? Liu Lang came again before.

Xiaoxiao stood up and looked at the water redness of the west sky. He didn't dare to speculate on where the future was. After all, it was a day to "slaughter". Under the overwhelming power of imperial power, the Tang family was just a small boat that could fall over at any time. It had no strength or say...

Now, I hope that this situation can be slightly reversed. Once I have a weak initiative in my hand, I will do my best to turn the situation around!

Not only myself, there are many people in the Tang family: grandfather, grandmother, father, uncle, and the aunts and sisters around them who are increasingly impressed by me!

Turning losses into winning is not just a sense of honor for the family, but more importantly, a kind of survival instinct.
