"Chang'an is a month, and thousands of households pound clothes."

When he read ancient poems in the past, Shi Yiwen didn't know what the artistic conception of "the sound of ten thousand households pounding clothes" was. But at this time, I was in the drunken immortal building, looking out of the window, in addition to the exquisite painting boats in the Qinhuai River, women who were washing clothes could be seen everywhere on both sides of the river.

The "thump" sound made by the mallet when it hits the garment, although it is far away, can still be heard in the ears.

Perhaps, this is the so-called "sound of ten thousand households pounding clothes".

In his own words, Shi Yiwen carefully observed the laundry women, who were either huddled on a stone step by the river, or squatting by the river, hammering their clothes on a stone.

It looks scattered, but it can also be seen that most of these women are in groups of three or five, and there are naturally some active women in the crowd, their characteristic is that they have a very loud voice, even if they are far away, they can hear their words, and the occasional unbridled laughter attracts a sideways glance from passers-by.

That's them!

Coming to the river, pointing to a few women with the loudest voices in the distance, Shi Yiwen instructed Xiao Lian.

"Little mercy, you go over and invite those women over."

"Childe, what are you asking them to do?"

Xiao Pian pouted, unhappily,

"They're all ......"

Originally, she wanted to say "shrew", but she changed her words when she came.

"They are all women, and it is not appropriate for the son to see them, so as not to tarnish his identity."

"It's okay, just invite them over."

Shi Yiwen said with a smile, he didn't care about the defense of men and women, and it seemed that this era was not as conservative as he imagined.

"Yo, it's a noble son."

"Mother-in-law of the Li family, that son-in-law called you over, shouldn't he have taken a fancy to you......"

"The Xu family, look at your broken mouth, you really owe the man to clean it up, and one mouth is "on" ......"

Please have mercy on those women, listening to their foul language, but her ears are red, and her face is flushed, which makes the women on the side divert their target.

"Why is your little girl's face red? Listen to the words of the eldest mother, this is a girl, when serving the young master, you can use more dim sum machine, the son is not pretty, you girl looks so standard, hurry up and spend some time on him, serve more diligently at night, maybe she will become a concubine in the next year......"

"But no, maybe I will have joy in my stomach and become a main house."

The women's ridicule made Xiao Pian's face even redder, and she hurriedly ran towards the gazebo, which dared to talk to these women.

As for the women who saw her fleeing in the wilderness, they laughed even more, for these already spicy women, they have long been accustomed to laughing at the days of a little daughter-in-law and a big girl.

However, although the people are spicy in front of them, when they get closer to the pavilion, they all become dignified and cautious, after all, the young man in the gorgeous clothes in front of him, just by dressing up, must not be an ordinary person.

"I've seen Childe, I don't know if Childe told me to wait over, what are your orders?"

Standing in front of the nobles, Wang Li's family did not have the previous pungency, but looked quite humble.

"Well, I can't talk about orders, in fact, the reason why I invited a few sisters-in-law over is because I want to talk about business with my sisters-in-law."

Shi Yiwen smiled brightly.

"Business?"

The women looked at each other.

"Childe said with a smile, what kind of business are you talking about with us women?"

"Why can't women talk about it, how can they ......?"

Took out a few pieces of broken silver from his purse, Shi Yiwen said.

"This business is to ask you to wash your clothes, one penny a day, and it is to wash your own clothes, I don't know what a few sisters-in-law think?"

Looking at the silver on the stone table in horror, and then looking at the ladies in gorgeous clothes, the women who looked at each other were speechless for a while, and after a long time, Wang Li asked.

"Gongzi and Gongzi are not joking."

"Are you kidding?"

Shaking his head, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Of course not, but I have a request......

The next morning, as usual, Li Wang came to the river to wash clothes with a wooden plate, and after finding a washing stone by the river, he put down the small bench and greeted the women nearby.

"Sister Xu, sister of the Wang family, you are also here!"

The woman, who was beating her clothes with a laundry hammer, looked up and smiled.

"Yo, it's the sister of the Li family, why did you run so far today, I didn't see you here in the past!"

"Hey, I don't know if it's the one who lost his conscience, he actually kicked the stone into the river, no, I can only get here first......" Li Wang complained for a while, and Shuang and a few other women talked about homely things.

The clothes were spread directly by the river, and after being washed by running water, she did not beat the clothes with a washing hammer, but wiped the collar that had never been washed a few times with the soap she had received yesterday. Then I rubbed it directly on the stone.

"Huh?"

Her movements immediately attracted the attention of other women, and Sister Xu stopped the laundry hammer in her hand and said curiously.

"Sister of the Li family, why didn't you bring laundry wood, didn't you forget? I'm almost done washing, why don't I use mine first? ”

"Yo, thank you, Sister Xu, you see, I don't need laundry wood, just rub it a little, you see, this foam will come out, and the ashes will come out......"

As he spoke, the white foam turned into gray foam, and after rubbing it back and forth twice, Li Wang deliberately picked up the soap and wiped it on the collar.

"Sister of the Li family, what did you wipe on your clothes? Why do you get so many bubbles when you rub it, and you bring out all the ashes? ”

"Sister Xu, this is the "soap" I bought on the street yesterday, saying that it is better than soaphorns, and I don't need a clothes hammer to wash off the ashes, which can save clothes, so I bought a piece to try ......"

As the words say, the cotton is spun, and she has already washed her clothes here, and she put them in the river casually. The river washed away a large area of foam, and the surface of the river was full of white foam, which attracted the attention of the others.

Most of the other women looked at Li Wang's with curiosity, only to see her put her clothes on the table for a while, and then lift them up.

"Yikes!"

With a sudden scream, Li Wang was surprised.

"Look, it's really clean, even the old ash of the cuffs has been washed white......"

"Yo, no, these cuffs look like new clothes! Sister of the Li family, lend me this soap to use, my clothes in charge have been knocked for a long time, and they haven't been washed yet. ”

Sister Xu took the soap, rubbed it on her clothes, and then pressed it on the stone and rubbed it again, and a lot of foam came out of her clothes, and the white foam was wrapped in ash foam.

"Oh, Sister Xu, look, this bubble has turned black!"

"But no, this is the clothes that I washed just now, and they have been hammered for a long time, why are there so many ashes."

Complaining in her mouth, Sister Xu rubbed it a few more times, but there was still a lot of ash, and after rubbing it for a while, she put her clothes in the river, and the running water washed away the large foam, and then lifted the clothes to take a look.

"Ah, this is clean!"

The women all looked at their clothes in amazement, and they were much cleaner than before, and they could see at a glance.

"You see, even the putty on the cuffs has been washed off!"

"It's so clean! Usually these cuffs can't be cleaned. Sister Li, where did you buy this soap? ”

"It's like, how much is a piece? How long can such a piece last? ”

For a while, those women all surrounded Li Wang's and asked me word by word......
