Originally, You Xiaoya's main house was almost broken because of the toss last night, and what should not be broken was almost broken. This morning, I found a carpenter to repair it inside and out, but fortunately, the damage to the house itself is not very large, and after repairing it for a while, it is also much more tidy.

"Madam, over there in the house, the furniture is not usable, and the things that need to be purchased have already been purchased by the housekeeper Jin, Madame, see what else to add?" Mother Zhou saw that You Xiaoya didn't mean to punish Xiaodouzi and them, so she didn't say more, just thinking that the new people in this courtyard would have to be trained well in the future, so as not to make mistakes in the future.

Taking a page full of small characters handed over by Zhou's mother, You Xiaoya opened it and looked at it twice, there were just some tables and chairs, vases, incense burners, screens, clothes and other things, which were generally no different from her previous room, and she was about to open her mouth to let Zhou's mother look at it, but a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.

"Mother Zhou, is there a kind of one on the market that can be pressed down and can bounce back quickly, the support is quite soft......"

You Xiaoya was thinking about how to describe such a thing as 'sponge', and the language didn't seem to be very well organized, so she said it was quite vague, and Li's mother was even more confused.

"What do you mean ...... Madame?"

"It's something that's soft like cotton wool but has a shape like cotton wool and can support the weight? And also...... It is very absorbent and has many small holes on the surface. In the end, You Xiaoya still only thought of such a narrative, but when she said this. She had almost given up on the idea.

After all, sponge is something that has only been widely used in modern times, and it is ...... in ancient times.

"This ......" is not surprising. Mother Zhou was really stumped, she didn't expect what You Xiaoya was talking about for a long time, she glanced at it a few times, but found that everyone around her was at a loss.

"You're talking about sponges?" Just when You Xiaoya had given up the idea of using sponge as a sofa, Jin Yuanjiang said in a deep voice.

"You know sponges?" I can't say that You Xiaoya was a little surprised, after all, in her opinion, she had already vetoed that there would be such a thing as a sponge in this era. But I don't want to hear it suddenly, and it's a lie not to be surprised.

"That's a tribute to the royal family, how do you know that?" Jin Yuanjiang listened to You Xiaoya talk about sponges. I immediately thought of a book called 'Naturalist Chronicles' in the library of the Jin family in Beijing, which roughly recorded some tributes received by the Qi and Zhou dynasties over the years.

And there happened to be an introduction to these things, and the sponge was the most precious tribute to the emperor from a small coastal country in the east.

Secondly, its use is also amazing. Whether it's water absorption or softness. It is all the same as what You Xiaoya said, and it is said that that thing is used by the concubines in the palace to wash their faces, and after washing, the skin will get better and better.

It's just that it's hard for ordinary people to hear and see such things, how did You Xiaoya know?

"Do you know where you can get this?" You Xiaoya didn't want to answer Jin Yuanjiang's question, she just thought that since Jin Yuanjiang knew about sponges, it should not be too difficult to get. It's a good idea to make a sofa with some.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Jin Yuanjiang is also a persistent guy. He doesn't want to be led by You Xiaoya in everything!

"I've heard from people." You Xiaoya didn't expect Jin Yuanjiang to be so obsessed with her answer, and a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes, but fortunately, her voice was still calm, and she answered him casually.

"Listen to whom?" Jin Yuanjiang broke the casserole and asked to the end.

“…… Your dad. "You Xiaoya is really impatient, a little brat, what does he know so much? But she still had to answer him, but she thought that if she gave him another living person, he would ask her again how that person knew, so she simply gave him a question that she couldn't ask.

"......" Sure enough, this time Jin Yuanjiang didn't have anything to ask.

"Then it's up to you to answer my question." You Xiaoya brought the topic back.

"This is a tribute from a small coastal country in the east to the emperor, and you can't get it." Jin Yuanjiang was really unhappy because of You Xiaoya's impatient expression, so he simply hit her directly.

"......" Sure enough, Jin Yuanjiang's voice fell, and You Xiaoya was speechless, not to mention whether the sponge was such a tall thing as a tribute, as far as its production place was concerned, facing the sea in the east, even if she wanted to use it at this time, with Jinjia Town's 108,000 miles away from the coast, she would not be able to get it back in less than half a year.

Half a year is not a long time, but it is still unknown whether she will be here after half a year, so she doesn't bother to bother with it.

"What are you doing with a sponge?" Jin Yuanjiang is actually quite curious about this, could it be that she also imagines that those concubines in the palace are used to wash their faces?

"Make a couch." Since You Xiaoya has given up this idea, she naturally doesn't have so much to worry about.

"What's a couch?" Jin Yuanjiang expressed his curiosity about something he had not heard.

"A soft stool." You Xiaoya explained.

"A stool is a stool, why do you call it a sofa?"

"I like it." Regarding Jin Yuanjiang's approach of asking all the way to the end, You Xiaoya really didn't have so much energy to explain to him, so she raised her eyes and replied to him impatiently.

"......" Jin Yuanjiang was immediately choked by You Xiaoya.

"Mother, mother, mother, what is a sponge?" Listening to the conversation between Jin Yuanjiang and You Xiaoya, Jin Yuandong on the side was puzzled.

"Sponges are a kind of marine creature in warm waters, which is a half-plant, half-animal species." You Xiaoya instinctively explained to Jin Yuandong what she knew, but what made her negligent was that sometimes children's curiosity is very scary, if it is not satisfied, you don't want to stop, such as Jin Yuandong at this time.

"Mother, where is the ocean? What does it look like? What is Biological? What is half plant and half animal? What is a species? "Jin Yuandong is simply asking You Xiaoya because of something he doesn't know.

You Xiaoya listened to Jin Yuandong's question. She was really stunned for no less than five or six seconds, and it was only at this time that she suddenly understood what she had just said, and for a while, her mind was not how to give these terms to Jin Yuandong clearly. It's how to fool Jin Yuandong, and then get by.

After all, it's such a professional thing, not to mention that she can't explain it clearly, even if she explains it clearly, can he understand it at a young age in Jin Yuandong? Will there be more problems if you don't understand? At the beginning of this cycle, she ate and slept and enjoyed Qingfu, so she simply opened a school to attend classes......

"Ahem...... The words of this ocean are just east of what my brother said. If you want to be specific, you can ask him. You Xiaoya decisively adopted the mode of kicking the ball and threw this thorny problem directly to Jin Yuanjiang.

Jin Yuanjiang looked at You Xiaoya's expression a little evasive. And unabashedly pushed the problem towards him, glared at You Xiaoya very unhappily, and planned to sarcastically say a few words to her, saying that she had a beginning and an end. But he didn't wait for him to speak. Xiao Cui'er and another little girl walked in with a few sour plum soups.

"Madam, childe, the sour plum soup is here."

"Brother, if my brother drinks soup, I want to say thank you to Sister Xiao Cui'er~" Jin Yuanyuan saw that Jin Yuandong was also happily staring at the tray in Xiao Cui'er's hand, and hurriedly jumped in front of him and pulled him and said.

"Huh?" Jin Yuandong didn't seem to understand what Jin Yuanyuan was talking about.

"My mother said that it was Sister Xiao Cui'er who prepared the sour plum soup for us, so we must thank Sister Xiao Cui'er before drinking the soup." Jin Yuanyuan explained.

"This, Miss......" Xiao Cui'er was said by Jin Yuanyuan. suddenly blushed, and cautiously glanced at You Xiaoya. saw You Xiaoya snorting her head while drinking sour plum soup, as if telling her to let Jin Yuanyuan continue.

"Huh......?" Jin Yuandong, like Jin Yuanyuan, has never heard such a theory since he was a child, in his opinion, shouldn't Xiao Cui'er prepare these things for them?

"Hmm...... Is my brother happy when he drinks sour plum soup? After Jin Yuanyuan's small brain organized the language, she asked Jin Yuandong.

"What's wrong?" Jin Yuandong said that he didn't understand why Jin Yuanyuan asked like this.

"Since we are happy, it is all because Sister Xiao Cui'er made us sour plum soup with her heart, so we should thank Sister Xiao Cui'er for this intention, mother, is what Yuanyuan said right?" Jin Yuanyuan's fleshy little face had a very serious look, and she was even more confident when she said this.

"Yuanyuan said it very well!" You Xiaoya listened to Jin Yuanyuan say this, and her heart was really comforted, so she put down Xiao Gu and gave her a thumbs up and praised.

"Thank you, Sister Cui'er!" Seeing that Jin Yuanyuan was so sure, and You Xiaoya also said that what Jin Yuanyuan said was very reasonable, Jin Yuandong immediately felt that what he said was really reasonable, and when he took the little Gu handed over by Xiao Cui'er, he said to her crisply.

"Second son, don't be, don't be polite......" Xiao Cui'er was really flattered, although she knew that this was You Xiaoya teaching Miss Gongzi, and Mrs. also let her suffer, but after all, she was a subordinate, how could she be the master's courtesy? So at this time, it is inevitable to tremble.

And Jin Yuanjiang and Zhou's mother on the side were very surprised, after all, this was the first time they heard that the master was going to thank his subordinates, and they did it so formally and reasonably, no matter who looked at it, they should be surprised, right?

"Sister Xiao Cui'er, my mother said, there is nothing to take for granted in this world, you are good to us, so we want to thank you!" Jin Yuanyuan really understood what You Xiaoya said, so at this time, she explained the truth to Xiao Cui'er.

Listening to Jin Yuanyuan's words, except for You Xiaoya, who was full of appreciation and pride, everyone in the room was stunned, and Jin Yuanjiang was about to blurt out the words of sarcastic You Xiaoya's direct surrender to the throat, and it took a while before it went down with the open breath.

"Mother Zhou, come with me to see the situation in the house over there."

The thoughts of everyone in the room You Xiaoya are not very interested, she only knows that she needs to educate these babies like this, and these babies feel that what she said makes sense, so she doesn't have the heart to worry about the rest!

So at this time, she got up from the low couch, said to Zhou's mother who was thoughtful on the side, and then took the lead and walked out.

After You Xiaoya went out with Zhou's mother, she didn't take two steps before she saw a small maid under the outer porch hurriedly running towards them.

"How's it going?" When Zhou's mother saw the little girl coming, she hurriedly asked him.

"Back to Mom, it's all done!" The little servant saluted You Xiaoya, and only then did he reply to Zhou's mother at the end.

"Then what did Liu Zhutou say?" After Liu Zhutou took Li's mother and them away, Zhou's mother was instructed by You Xiaoya to take some silver money to Liu Zhutou and them, and told him that compared with Lai's mother, the situation should still be light.

Liu Zhutou said that he understood what Mrs. meant, and he would definitely convey it to the county lord, please rest assured that Mrs. However, the money that Mrs. asked them to give, Liu Zhutou did not accept it...... "The little guy explained the matter, and at the end he said something else that was not quite sure.

"Madam, this ......" Originally, after listening to the first half of the little girl's sentence, Mother Zhou felt that You Xiaoya's explanation should be fine, but the second half of the little girl's sentence said that it was confiscated money, so the matter was a little unclear.

"That's it, now it's all up to the shopkeeper and them!" You Xiaoya also felt that there was no suspense in the matter, but the money sent out was brought back, so it was inevitable that it was a little embarrassing, but after thinking about it, she had done everything to this extent, and it was considered benevolent and righteous, so let the rest be.

"Yes" Mother Zhou saw You Xiaoya's attitude like this, so she didn't say more, sent the little girl to retreat, and followed You Xiaoya towards the main house in the east.

When she entered the house, You Xiaoya glanced at the almost renovated house, which was a little empty, but she herself didn't have much to pick about these things, anyway, she felt that the biggest effect of the house was to be able to live in people, and the others didn't have so many requirements.

"I don't know what the 'sofa' Madame just said is actually a stool for?" After looking around the situation in the house, Zhou's mother asked You Xiaoya with some curiosity.

Hearing that Mother Zhou, an ancient person, had the ancient people to speak and say the word 'sofa', You Xiaoya said that it was too disobedient!

So she digested it for a while, and after making her expression not so weird, she said to Zhou's mother: "It's used to sit on people, it's similar to the low couch in the house, but the low couch is a little harder, and the sofa is much softer." ”

"I see, if Madame wants to use a softer couch, then the old slave asks someone to make a few more to prepare, what does Madame think?" Mother Zhou is indeed a person who can observe words and feelings, and when she heard You Xiaoya say this, she could think of this.

"Just according to what Zhou's mother said." (To be continued......)
