On the coffee table in the middle of the car, a pot of tea had already been brewed, and the family driving the car, at the window in the driver's seat of the car, told a few girls that it was prepared for them and that they could drink as much as they wanted, and also told them how to open the bottle.

After all, it's a hot day, and I'm sweating when I packed up my things just now.

Several of the girls were already feeling thirsty.

Hearing the coachman say this, everyone thanked Cao Yan and others for their care, and several people were not polite, holding teapots and teacups, pouring tea and drinking it.

The tea is very good tea, at least a few girls feel it as soon as they drink it.

"This tea is so fragrant, the color is so green!"

"Well, there's a little bit of sweetness."

"Yes, it feels so delicious and mellow, I don't know what kind of tea it is."

"Back to the words of a few girls, this tea is the local Yuhua tea of Jiangning Mansion, and a few sons are afraid that the girls will not be used to drinking tea from other places, so they specially prepared it." The driver in front explained.

Yuhua tea is famous for its turquoise brown color, elegant aroma and mellow taste.

This tea is flushed with boiling water, the water surface suddenly shows white, the tea sinks into the water and the tea color is green, clear, the aroma is quiet, drink a cup, refresh people's hearts, the teeth and cheeks leave a fragrance, the taste is mellow, the aftertaste is sweet, the color, fragrance, taste are complete, it is the best product, it has the effect of quenching thirst, clearing the mind, eliminating appetite, curing asthma, removing annoyance and getting tired.

"This is Yuhua tea? No way? ”

"yes, why is it different from what we drink?"

"My family has occasionally drunk this tea, and it's definitely not like this tea!"

The others quickly nodded their heads.

"Hehe, this is Yuhua tea, it's just that a few girls haven't drunk it." The coachman explained with a faint smile.

Of course, since the coachman insisted on saying this, a few people would not suspect that others were lying to themselves, so what use could this thing do to deceive themselves?

In this way, the carriage drove briskly on the yellow earth outside the city.

Along the way, Xin Tinghe's heart is becoming more and more relaxed.

Although tea is a refreshing thing, the recent period of worry has made the spirits of several girls a little overwhelmed.

As they walked, they all fell asleep and snored softly.

……

I don't know how long it took.

There was a knock on the door.

There was a knock on the carriage door from outside.

Wake up a couple of girls.

The first thing they did was to hold their chests tightly.

A cold sweat suddenly broke out.

But wait until you see your surroundings clearly.

They smiled awkwardly at each other.

"Open the door and come down, it's here." Zhong Xinyi's voice came from the door.

Several people hurriedly opened the locked door of the carriage, and walked down with their simple salute that made the thieves want to cry when they saw it.

At the end, I reluctantly looked back at the carriage.

It's really comfortable to sit on, and I didn't wake myself up after walking so far, it's a bit incredible, no wonder this car is so expensive.

At this time, Cao Yan and the three of them also got off at the door.

They didn't go in.

Now there are some female dependents here, and the subordinates are also female servants who were transferred from Luo Ming's house.

"Gongzi Cao, Gongzi Luo, the little marquis really thank you." Zhong Xinyi said politely.

The other women on the side also saluted: "Thank you, three sons." ”

"It's fine." The three of them replied.

"Miss Zhong, the rest of the matter will trouble you, we went to Luo Ming's house, if there is any problem, you can come to us, a few sisters-in-law, you have worked hard."

"Okay."

"Auntie, eldest brother-in-law, don't worry."

……

……

After seeing Cao Yan and they left.

"Please listen to us first." A few sisters-in-law clapped their hands, attracting everyone's attention.

In the past, they often took over the children adopted by Cao Yan, and they were already familiar with these things.

I saw that everyone looked over.

"Let's put all the things in your hands except for books in this utility room, and the belongings and the like can be deposited with me or Miss Zhong first."

This made everyone puzzled for a while.

However, a few sisters-in-law are not afraid that they will bring lice, fleas and other things, after all, these are adults, unlike the children taken in by Cao Yan, who originally brought all the things, and there is no so-called face to talk about.

Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled.

A few people began to continue: "The county lord has already asked people to prepare clothes and shoes, everyone follow us to take a shower first, and change into new clothes directly." ”

"We brought clothes," a couple of voices said weakly.

"Oh, I forgot to say that these new clothes were given by the county lord, and they don't need money." Zhong Xinyi knew as soon as she looked at the girls that they were afraid that they would not be able to pay, so she hurriedly added.

In fact, these clothes and shoes were prepared by Cao Yan and Luo Ming, but it is a bit easy to cause misunderstanding when giving girls these things in this era, so they put the pot on Xiang Yixin's head, and this makes it easier for these people to accept.

After all, what the county lord gave was a gift, and it was an honorable thing to say.

"Thank you, Lord County." Although Xiang Yi was absent now, the female students still hurriedly shouted out the words of thanks.

With this statement, the rest was much smoother, and they all left their clothes on the tables and chairs in the utility room.

The person followed Zhong Xinyi out.

Then everyone handed over their belongings to Zhong Xinyi, and everyone was still relieved to listen to her, and Zhong Xinyi recorded all the amounts.

Then several sisters-in-law and Lin Bibi took the group to a bathhouse.

There were a lot of slippers at the door, and under the arrangement of the sisters-in-law, everyone changed their slippers.

The bathhouse was divided into two rooms, one for men and one for women, and each was a lattice with a door, and there were eight on each side, a total of sixteen, but now there were no men, so all were women.

There are two large iron pipes running across the top of the bathhouse.

Each compartment is divided into two small iron pipes.

This is Cao Yan's tap water system according to the topography of his house, and behind his house is the inner city moat composed of Jinshui River and Bianhe River, and Cao Yan directly got a big windmill to get water. I set up a few large water tanks and a boiler in my backyard to make this set of hot and cold water system.

A group of sisters-in-law and Lin Bibi and other little girls each brought a few people to the lattice.

Lin Bibi pointed to the two words on the wall on the side of the hot and cold water faucet: "See these two words, right?" ”

"Hmm," the people around nodded, how could such a big word not be visible.

But what does it mean to write these two words on the side of this iron bump? Everyone is a little confused.

Lin Bibi first dialed the shower in the direction of the side wall, and then the valve of the faucet was raised: "This is on." ”

The shower above suddenly poured water and shot into the corner of the wall.

Then there was another pressure, "This is off." ”

Then it opened again and tossed the valve left and right.

"It's hot to this side, it's cold to this side, it's best to test the temperature of the water slowly when you take a shower, so as not to get burned, do you understand how to use it?" After speaking, Lin Bibi also used his own hand to slightly catch the water and gave a demonstration to everyone.

This made all the girls feel magical, and they hurriedly tried it one by one.

Seeing that there was no problem, Lin Bibi pointed to a few pieces of soap at the location of a window on the wall: "This is the soap, it is used for bathing." ”

He pointed to a bottle of shampoo and explained, "This is shampoo, it's for shampooing." ”

When someone heard it, their eyes lit up, these two things are not cheap, and many of them have only heard of them, but have not used them.

Suddenly, someone wanted to take a bath.

But Lin Bibi said again: "By the way, I forgot to tell you where I put your clothes, come with me." ”

After saying that, Lin Bibi took everyone to the dressing room of the bathroom, which was already full of clothes.

"After you wash it, come here to change your clothes, try to pick the one that fits you, take a set to do the change, don't mess up the rest, and take it back to the store, as well as these leather shoes, each person also take a pair to go, okay, is there still a problem? You can go to the shower without you. ”

"Miss Lin, where is the laundry?" Someone asked weakly.

"Oh, follow me," Lin Bibi led someone out to a laundry table outside the bathroom, pointing to the hot and cold water faucet: "It's the same as the inside, cold water and hot water at the same time, the box is the soap for washing clothes, you can use the bucket here, but don't take those hanging buckets." ”

"Why?" Someone asked curiously, isn't this bucket the same?

"That's what the eldest brother-in-law and eldest lady use, by the way, the shelf over there is where the clothes are dried." Limbibi replied, and then added.

"Oh," the crowd understood, for it was the master's bucket.

……

All the girls were made by this comfortable way of bathing, and they didn't want to come out of the washing.

And the combination of those shampoos and soap heating water simply washed away all the depression and fatigue during this time.

People have also become extremely comfortable.

If it weren't for the strong urging of the people waiting behind, and there were many places to take a bath, it is estimated that these people would not be able to finish washing at night.

After taking a shower, change into a clean and beautiful silk outfit.

Smell the faint fragrance emanating from your body.

Everyone sent out the desire in their hearts, this is the life they yearn for.

I must work hard, as long as I am admitted and enter the eyes of the county lord, then all this in front of me can be realized, everyone said silently in their hearts.

……

And what Cao Yan didn't know was that.

Today, the fact that they took all the students from Jiangning Mansion outside the city into the city was publicized by those who saw it.

In one afternoon, many Xiang families have the opportunity to win the queen's family in the past ten years, or the family that has a chance in the next ten years.

All of them began to do it according to this method, such a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, they didn't want Xiang Yixin to monopolize it alone.

Among them, Xiang Yixin's three strongest opponents, Xiang Aoyun, the lord of Hangzhou County, Xiang Yizhi, the lord of Xiangyang County, and Xiang Hanyu, the lord of Daimyofu County.

And the rest places are also very clever, all of them are near Cao Yan's house.
