Chapter 192: Warm Clothing

Liang opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Now a good silk is only about 360 Wen, and a bed of silk cotton is only 200 Wen, so at least sixty or seventy silk and silk cotton can be exchanged!" We're taking advantage of it. ”

Zuo Gui said: "You can't say that, these five buckets of rice may be able to save the life of the shopkeeper's family!" Is life important or satin silk and cotton important? ”

Liang said, "That's that, that's." Then we've done a good thing. ”

"Hmm......" Zuo Gui stroked his beard and nodded, and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Since you have already promised others, and the price is not bad, then so be it, but don't leak the rumors and let people know that our family has food, then it will be troublesome!" ”

"Yes, that's what I did. Let them transport the silk and silk cotton to the back alley of our house to exchange, and they can't say it. He swore a curse. ”

"That's good."

Liang said: "So much silk and silk cotton, where are you placed?" ”

Zuo Gui said: "Can we put it in the bedroom, what are we doing in such a big empty place?" Just stack it and put it away. ”

Guizhitang Pharmacy is divided into three rooms, the middle is the lobby, the place to see a doctor and sell medicine, the right side is divided into two halves, the front is the concocted room and the attic of Zuo Shaoyang, the back is the kitchen, and the left side of the lobby is the bedroom of Zuo Gui and Liang's couple. This room is relatively long, and there is a lot of space, and the last stillborn woman was treated here. The vacant space is just right for these satin silk cotton.

In the afternoon, only a few people came to see the external infection of typhoid fever, and after a few busy days, it was finally a little easier. Of course, Zuo Gui wants to be busy, at least so that he can make money. And the Liang family is very happy, the harvest in the past few days is not small, earning hundreds of dollars in medical fees, and also receiving a peerless and beautiful maid, and the future daughter-in-law in his mind has also been settled.

After getting up after dark, Zuo Shaoyang entered the concoction room, closed the door, took away the concocted iron pot, removed the bricks underneath, exposed the tunnel entrance, climbed in and took a five-bucket bag of rice from the cellar. Packed up and took the rice to the back alley.

When he opened the door, he saw two carts parked in the alley outside the door, full of things and covered with cloth, but there was no one around. Just as he was feeling strange, a person appeared in the darkness, laughed and whispered: "Engong! I'm here! ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked fixedly, and sure enough, it was the shopkeeper of the middle-aged man in brocade clothes and satin shop. Then he said, "Did you bring something?" ”

"Here, two large carts, a total of sixty horses of silk, fifty beds of silk cotton, twenty horse skins, sheepskins, and a dozen fox skins, rabbit skins, and mink skins. There were also forty or fifty ready-to-wear garments for men and women, all of which were newly made. I look at you and Lingzun Lingci, as well as the figure of your maid. You should be able to wear it. If you can't wear it, just change it. ”

"You brought such two big carts of things alone?"

"How can it, hehe, I asked two henchmen to pull it in, pull down the alley and let them go, I pulled it in myself, so no one else knows. These two cars are also given to you. ”

"Hehe, that's good." Zuo Shaoyang turned around and entered the house, took the bag of black noodles out, and handed it to him, "Oh, this is five buckets of black noodles, you can take a look." ”

Shopkeeper Fu opened his mouth, reached in and grabbed a handful, looked at it through the bright light of the kitchen, tears flowed down his face, and he choked up: "Thank you so much!" With this bag of noodles, the lives of our whole family can be saved, thank you......" As he spoke, his knees weakened and he wanted to kneel down again.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly grabbed him: "Okay, you go back quickly." It won't be long before a curfew is coming. ”

Shopkeeper Fu sobbed and nodded, tied the bag of black noodles tightly, put it on his back, and walked quickly.

Zuo Shaoyang entered the house and called Miao Peilan, Bai Zhihan and others to help carry things. The wounded and their families who stayed for treatment all lived in the empty room of the grocery store next door, and they didn't know what was going on here, and Zuo Shaoyang didn't ask them for help, just to know more safety for one less person.

Miao Peilan's strength is great, one person can carry three people's things, everyone moved together, and soon carried two carts of satin, silk cotton and ready-to-wear clothes to Zuo Gui's bedroom. The two wooden carts could also be assembled, and Miao Peilan unloaded them into several large pieces in three or two clicks, carried them into the house and placed them in the corner of the kitchen.

Zuo Gui and the others looked at the silk and silk cotton piled up in the room, and they all felt a little like they were in a dream. Just before that, the whole family could only sleep on a kudzu quilt filled with rags, and wear a kudzu linen robe with [***] skin. Now there are so many silk satin and silk cotton, and there is no need to worry about the bitter days of the cold winter wax moon.

Zuo Guile said to Liang: "These ready-to-wear clothes are all divided, Zhong'er, Fennel, and Houpu, by the way, and Zhi'er, Miss Miao, all of them are divided." I don't see any small ones in these ready-to-wear clothes, soybeans and bean curd will make new clothes, and in addition, I will immediately bind a few quilts and mattresses to change, and I can sleep in a warm quilt tonight! ”

Liang was so happy that tears came out, nodded again and again, and separated the brand-new ready-to-wear clothes according to men and women, and then according to body size. One person has several pieces, only a few children do not have a suitable one, so they can only sew separately.

Zuo Shaoyang took a few sets of his robes and compared them on his body. Liang smiled: "It's a little bigger, but it doesn't matter, it's better to wear loose clothes in winter." ”

Zuo Shaoyang nodded and smiled: "It's a bit big, even if the two are stacked together, it's too loose, but it's better than nothing, let's wear it first." ”

Liang handed three sets of dresses to Bai Zhihan, Bai Zhihan's current identity is the slave maid of the Zuo family, and food and clothing are naturally provided by the Zuo family, so he did not shirk and bowed down to thank him. But for the dresses for Miao Peilan and her family, she said that she didn't want anything, not even cotton wool mattresses.

Zuo Shaoyang knew that Miao Peilan's surname was stubborn, and she would admit death, and she would not accept anything that was not hers, so she had to let her mother give up.

Liang also told the Miao family and Bai Zhihan not to talk about it. Naturally, everyone agreed.

After dividing, start sewing the silk quilt.

Mrs. Qu praised Bai Zhihan for being super good, but she really didn't cover it. I saw her flying needles and threads, and soon sewed a bed, and the stitches were fine and dense. At the same time, Liang sewed more than half of it. Leung praised Bai Zhihan vigorously.

Seeing that Bai Zhihan was so skillful, Miao Peilan and Miao's mother were embarrassed to do it.

It only took half an hour for Bai Zhihan and Liang to sew a few quilts of silk cotton.

Bai Zhihan helped Zuo Shaoyang carry the quilt into the concoction room, replaced the straw and the cold kudzu quilt in his attic, and spread the silk cotton mattress and quilt.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't have a good impression of Bai Zhihan, and saw that she was very popular, but he turned a blind eye.

Old lady Qu was convicted and dismissed. When he was an official, he was very upright and fair, he was really upright and clean, and most of his only monthly income was lost by his son who ate, drank and gambled. So when his son was imprisoned, he didn't take care of his relationship, so he didn't give birth to this unfilial son. The family is poor, and everything has to be done by yourself. Bai Zhihan's mother developed this habit when she was a child, and after marrying the Bai family, the Bai family was also poor, so she also educated Bai Zhihan in this way since she was a child. Do everything yourself. Therefore, although Bai Zhihan was born in a family of eunuchs, he grew up from snacks. Not only did they read poetry and books, but they were also engaged in needlework and housework. After the death of his parents, he took refuge in his maternal grandfather's house, and he relied on himself for everything. So this little bit of work is really nothing to her.

Pack up and stop, it's already the second watch. Miao Peilan had already boiled hot water, and Bai Zhihan brought a basin of hot water to wash Zuo Shaoyang's face.

Zuo Shaoyang put his foot in and tried it, frowning: "The water is too cold." ”

Bai Zhihan hurriedly took a wooden scoop and scooped a scoop of hot water into it slowly, tried it in the basin with his hands, and only stopped when he felt that it was appropriate.

Bai Zhihan put his foot in again, and as soon as he touched the water, he immediately retracted again: "It's too hot!" ”

Bai Zhihan didn't say a word, poured the hot water in the scoop into the pot, scooped a scoop of cold water from the water tank, and slowly mixed it, feeling a little cooler than just now, and then quickly stopped.

Zuo Shaoyang put his foot in again, and immediately took it out again, frowning: "It's too cold." ”

Bai Zhihan had to pour out the cold water again and replace it with hot water, and this was repeated several times, and the basin was almost full, so Zuo Shaoyang put his feet in it and soaked comfortably. After thinking about it, he said: "I heard people say that the son of a big family washes his feet, and the personal maid has to help wash his feet. If you don't wash it well, you have to be picked. Alas, I'm just a small family, and I don't have this blessing. ”

Bai Zhihan bit her lip lightly, squatted down to help Zuo Shaoyang wash his feet.

This time, Zuo Shaoyang didn't pick a thorn, and it felt very good to look at the stunning beauty helping him wash his feet. When she had finished washing her feet, she helped dry them, and then put them into her old cloth shoes.

"Wait!" Bai Zhihan said hurriedly, looked left and right, didn't see the slippers, a little embarrassed, she had never served others to wash their feet, so she had no experience, and said busily: "Young master, wait, I'll go find slippers." ”

Zuo Shaoyang ignored him, still wearing his old cloth shoes, and walked into the house. You have to climb up the ladder.

Bai Zhihan said again: "Young master, wait, I'll help the young master untie his hair and then go to sleep!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang didn't pay attention to this, he slept alone these days, except for washing his hair, he never dissolved his hair when he slept. He turned around and asked, "Do you want to untie your bun when you sleep?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Zhihan thought that he was deliberately making fun of himself again, and replied flatly.

"Oh......" Zuo Shaoyang didn't understand this rule, but it was quite uncomfortable to think that he didn't untie his hair and sleep in a bun, and he had to comb it again the next morning. So she got down the ladder and sat on a stool for her to comb.

After Bai Zhihan untied his bun, he broke it up, then took a wooden comb from his head and combed his hair carefully.

After combing his hair, Zuo Shaoyang climbed the stairs. I found that my mattress and quilt had been replaced with thick silk cotton, which felt so comfortable to the touch. There are also two sets of close-fitting coats on the mattress. When I picked it up and shook it open, it was a cardigan and a pair of wide-legged trousers. It's soft and warm to the touch.
