Chapter 186: The Concubine Seeks Soap

---- Shan Grange

That day, Xu Qing presided over the Shao Prison and erected the main beam, and after a few days, the second floor was quietly built, and the third floor was almost completed. This small building, the most important thing is the second floor, as a few women, I am, the third floor is just a study, which can be overlooked, and Xu Qing's secret things can also be shelved.

Moreover, in order to speed up the progress, the first floor has been renovated now, elegant and chic, without losing everyone's demeanor, and has a leisurely feeling like a Suzhou and Hangzhou room, which does not make people feel bored.

The first floor is what sets this small building apart from the rest. In front of it is the living room, and after turning a door, two rooms appear in front of you. On the left, it is very spacious, with a large bath for seven or eight people in the middle, and a slightly narrower one on the right. But I saw that there were several bamboo chairs inside, and there was a round stone in the middle. Only a few women know that this room is called a sauna. Grill under the stone with a fire, pipes the heat around the room, and heat the stone on the other side, and pour water on it to produce steam. In this way, the temperature of the room can be raised as in later generations, and the effect of a sauna can be achieved.

In this small building, there is no kitchen, only two rooms for the fire, one is for hot water, a little higher than the bathroom, and the hot water can be poured directly through the bamboo pipe. There is also a switch inside the bathroom that controls the amount of water coming in. There is also a place where the kang is burned, that is, behind the sauna. It can not only burn stones, but also transfer heat to various rooms through well-connected passages.

The women also got up early in the morning, because today is the day of the third layer capping, and they also know that Xu Qing will not return. But there is still a man in the family, isn't Xu Wen? The master is not here, the young master is in charge, isn't the young master too young and the Jinshang Junjun still hangs the curtain to listen to the government? Xu Wen was treated as a big master in this way.

Just when everyone was ready, a carriage quietly entered outside. Normally, the Xu family does not open the door, and if they want to come in, whether it is a carriage or a person, they all enter through the side door.

The door creaked open, Xun Xue'er and the others looked at it puzzled, and said in their hearts, today's capping ceremony, just a few people in the family are lively, no outsiders are invited, who is here?

Seeing a woman with her head covered coming in, Xun Xue'er looked at it and couldn't help but be frightened, it was actually Wan Guifei who came. No wonder she came in without even knocking on the door, and the feeling of this Xu Mansion turned out to be her royal. Xun Xue'er and the girls greeted the past, and greeted each other with various courtesies, and Concubine Wan Guifei instructed Xun Xue'er and a few people not to tell their identities. After that, Wan Guifei also saw the newly built house of Xun Xue'er and others, and couldn't help but admire: "Xu Qing is not only beautiful. Fu, with the help of your four virtuous people, he actually built such a tall building, it's really lucky, who knows what he did in his last life? ”

Xun Xue'er and the other four girls all laughed, but they also secretly turned their heads to look at Xu Qi, and saw that the small vinegar jar was not only about to turn over, but also to explode, so they hurriedly pulled her away. Wan Guifei and Xun Xue'er and others gave this capping gift together, and after a commotion, Xun Xue'er took Wan Guifei to the inner room to talk.

"Wan Guifei ......"

"Eh, Xue'er, don't call me Wan Guifei, in this boudoir, can you call me sister?" After speaking, Wan Guifei laughed herself, thinking that Xu Qing's love for other wives was also unbearable, so she also said to Shimei and others: "You are the same, in this house, there are no outsiders, just call me sister." ”

The four girls got up and saluted, and called sweetly: "Sister,"

Immediately, Concubine Wan laughed again.

After taking a sip of tea, Concubine Wan groaned and said, "Actually, my sister is here this time, and I still have something to ask you......

The girls were stunned, and Xun Xue'er asked, "Sister, if you have anything, just ask, we know everything." ”

Wan Guifei smiled again, lowered her voice, and told what happened last night: "...... I, I smelled a fragrance on Xu Qing's body, but I couldn't find where the sachet was after turning it over, so it's strange, a few sisters, you are Xu Qing's pillow person, can you know the inside story of this matter? ”

After hearing this, the four girls all covered their mouths and laughed, and Xun Xue'er returned: "Don't tell my mother, this is another new thing that my Xu Lang has made." ”

Wan Guifei nodded vigorously and said: "Sister guessed the same, the moon cloth that Xu Qing made last time, eh, don't you say that my sister used Tut-tut......" Saying that, Wan Guifei's voice became smaller and smaller, and she and the four girls also got together, spoke in whispers, and took her to finish, and the four girls couldn't help but laugh.

Then, several of them whispered about the experience of this new menstrual cloth, obviously in the room, there was no one else, they also had to suppress their voices and talk together. It's like this, it's a little fun, and it's not afraid of being heard.

But in the end, it still came to what Xu Qing developed. Xun Xue'er glanced at Huang Shimei, Huang Shimei understood, and went to the room to find out the soaps that the girls had made themselves in the past few days, and they took a little bit of each fragrance.

In the final analysis, Xun Xueer is also a housewife, although the five daughters are equal at home, but when they go out, they still have to have due respect for Xun Xueer, and the same is true in front of outsiders.

Huang Shimei took five pieces of soap wrapped in flower paper, which were the floral fragrances chosen by the five girls. Wan Guifei took it, although her eyes were still confused, but the shrugging nose said that she smelled the rich fragrance.

After sniffing them one by one, Wan Guifei chose a more indifferent soap, which was Xun Xue'er's, lotus fragrance. Tearing open the outer packaging, Wan Guifei looked at the soap and asked, "Sisters, what is this thing called?" How do I use it? ”

Xun Xue'er replied: "This thing is called soap, and the method used is the same as when we usually use bath beans, just apply it to the body." ”

At this moment, the door opened, and a little maid came in with a basin of hot water and a hand towel. Xun Xue'er glanced at Huang Shimei with a smile, she knew that at this time, Huang Shimei had a tacit understanding with the subordinates who she ordered by the way when she just went out.

Then, Xun Xue'er demonstrated the use of this soap to Wan Guifei, and saw the bubbles in Xun Xue'er's hand in the room, and Wan Guifei covered her mouth and couldn't believe it. It took a long time to say, this is comparable to a bath bean!

Wash off the bubbles, smell Xun Xue'er's hand again, a faint but much stronger fragrance than soaking in water and bathing came, Wan Guifei finally showed a look of satisfaction: the old lady has lived for most of her life, fortunately when the charm still exists, this soap was born. If you wait for more than ten years, the old lady is old and yellow, and her face is full of wrinkles, that is, it is useless to attract bees and butterflies!

"Sister, this, isn't this thing valuable? Can you send a few boxes to my sister, and my sister will change the jewelry in the palace for you, how about it? ”
