"How is it so amazing?!"

Li Niang looked at her hands repeatedly, "Were my hands so dirty before?" It's all white. ”

Jian Ning laughed and said: "This soap is made of grease and the caustic soda I made, the cleaning power is strong but it also hurts your hands, when the soap is made, I will give you a few pieces, go back and wash your hair and face." ”

"Ahh

The two ladies exclaimed in surprise and saluted again and again, "Thank you, sir." ”

Jian Ning waved his hand and said with a smile: "The gadgets you make up yourself are not worth such a big gift, get up quickly, it's all your own family." ”

As he spoke, he pushed a few pieces of hot soap to the two of them, "You have worked hard these days, this soap is three pieces per person, take it back and use it." ”

A few people are so happy, where can they refuse such a reward as a housewife? Thinking that the greasy things in the house can be cleaned by this magical thing, my heart feels so happy that it is not good, and it is so beautiful that it is bubbling.

"Sir, let's do the stirring work in the future, I look hard enough. You are a person who writes with a pen, how can you do such a rough job? We have a lot of strength, and we will do it. ”

Jian Ning said with a smile: "This work is not easy to do, you have to be careful, otherwise it will not be good to get on your body, and the mixing strength and speed must be uniform." ”

After a pause, he said, "Next time, I'll tell you carefully and teach you how to do it." ”

As soon as the words came out, the two ladies shook their heads again and again, "That's not possible, this is a craft, how can it be easily taught to others?" ”

Jian Ning shook her head lightly, "The husband is not guilty of his crimes, if he takes this as a living, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of breaking the family." ”

Zhang Niangzi and the others turned pale, remembered some things about clever robbery, and hurriedly said: "It's better for Mr. to see far, let's use it ourselves." ”

Jian Ning nodded, "The osmanthus flowers should bloom in a few days, and then we will pick some and dry them, and it will be excellent to put them in soap at that time." This soap with dried flowers looks good, and when there is a usher, it will be able to take it, and it will not be rude. If you don't rely on this life, it's good to use it to make some favors. ”

Zhang Niang and Li Niang glanced at each other and laughed, "Sir, you are really thoughtful!" Don't worry, I will dry this osmanthus, and I can make you some osmanthus candy! ”

Jian Ning nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble Mrs. Zhang." ”

"That's right, sir."

Zhang Niangzi said again: "The old lady of the Sun family in Guanzi Lane has her eighties, and she just sent someone to send a longevity cake, do we want to return the gift?" ”

After a pause, he said: "This Sun family is also a prestigious family, and it is the descendant of Su Dongpo's grandson. In two days, the old lady of the family will be 80 years old, and the streets are full of birthday cakes and sugar. Mr. has just come here, so it would be good if he could make a good connection. ”

"Su Dongpo's grandson? Guanzi Lane? ”

Jian Ning pursed her lips, remembering the records of this incident in later generations, and couldn't help but lose her mind.

There are many rivers and bridges in the south of the Yangtze River, and in addition to these, there are also many allusions to the south of the Yangtze River. Like Changzhou, every bridge, every road, and even every alley has allusions.

For example, this Guanzi Lane is related to the great writer Su Dongpo of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Legend has it that Su Dongpo was demoted to Hainan, and when he passed through Changzhou, he sold his beloved concubine due to economic difficulties. A few years later, when Dongpo turned over and returned to Changzhou, someone told Su Dongpo that the sold concubine Wang gave birth to a son not long after, and the calculation should be Dongpo's blood and bones.

When Su Dongpo heard this, his family affection was greatly moved, and he wanted to see this son, but it was inconvenient to recognize him directly. So, after several rounds, I came up with a way to watch the child on the Xianzi Bridge.

Guanzi Lane is a straight alley, completely different from the poetic alley of eight steps and one bend in the south of the Yangtze River, standing at the end of the alley, you can see the end of the alley.

At the end of the alley, there is a river, there are many bridges on the river, one of which is called Xianzi Bridge, the east slope of the year is standing on the bridge, looking at the Wang and his son who came in the alley, and burst into tears.

I don't know how many people were touched by this scene, and it was also a cultural event in Changzhou that year. The people of Yi commemorate this event, and the stone bridge at the boat mooring place on the east slope is called Xianzi Bridge, and the alley leading to Xinfang Bridge on the shore is called Guanzi Lane.

That son, Su Dongpo personally named him Mao, Mao, and Sell. And the family who bought the concubine was surnamed Sun, so the child was called Sun Mao. This person is not simple, and later he also became a scholar, and his calligraphy is even more closely behind the four Song families. It's just that later he wrote a table for Song Gaozong, which was written down by the old man Zhu Xi, so he became disgraced.

No matter how disgraced it is, with Su Dongpo's status in the hearts of Changzhou literati, this family can't lose anything, plus the Great Song Dynasty has been dead for hundreds of years, who cares about these things?

Therefore, the Sun family, who originally returned to Xixuli in Lijia Town, moved back to this Guanzi Lane, and continued to thrive here in the glory of their ancestors.

The allusion between the Sun family and Guanzi Lane flashed in Jian Ning's mind, and her white fingers couldn't help but flick lightly on the table, and after a while, she said: "Since you are a local gentleman, you can't lose your manners, but it's ......."

She paused, thought for a while, and said, "It's just a custom to distribute birthday cakes, and there is no invitation to send it, just return a box of dim sum." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door outside, "Is the lady of the Jian family at home?" ”

"Who's going to come to this point?"

Zhang Niangzi went to open the door as she spoke, and when she opened the door, she saw a small house, which was the little girl who sent the longevity cake to the Sun family.

Zhang Niang was curious and asked, "Why is the little brother of the Sun family here again?" ”

The little maid handed over a wedding card and said: "My old lady heard that the lady of the Jian family is virtuous, and the neighbors praise her many times, so she sent me to send an invitation, and asked the lady of the Jian family to take the time to appreciate the light and come to the banquet." ”

Mrs. Zhang came back confused, handed the wedding card to Jian Ning, and said, "Sir, this is ......"

Jian Ning read the wedding card all over, frowned and said, "Am I virtuous? Where does this begin? ”

"Sir, sir, shouldn't the old lady know that you are writing a script?"

Jian Ning shook her head, "I can trust a few of you, and Brother Hu won't say anything about it, how can the old lady of the Sun family know about this?" ”

"Then why did you suddenly send a wedding card again? Are you going, sir? ”

Jian Ning pondered for a while and said, "Although I don't like these ushers, the Sun family is a local clan, and they can't afford to offend." Now that the wedding cards have been delivered to your door, let's go over and take a look. ”

After a pause, he said, "You go out with me in the afternoon, and I will personally pick out the gifts." ”

"Sanniang, I'll go too, I'll go too!"

The second brother raised his hand, "I'll protect you!" ”

Jian Ning smiled, "You are indispensable everywhere!" Go, go, let's not cook today, let's all go down to the restaurant to eat. ”

There was a burst of cheering cheers, and they were happily preparing to go out in the afternoon.

Fuda hired a boat, and after taking a nap, the family boarded the boat at the Yuanfengqiao Wharf and headed towards Xiyingli, the most prosperous Henan Xiangxiang in Changzhou.

Xiyingli is the place with the highest concentration of shops in the whole house, and the quality of the items sold is also relatively high. Although Jian Ning didn't mean to stammer with the Sun family, she didn't want to lose her courtesy, after all, people in these years pay more attention to these things, so she plans to pick a slightly better jewelry to send as a gift.

The captain shook the oars, sang the famous nursery rhyme of Changzhou, and in the autumn afternoon, the bright sound echoed on both sides of the canal, giving people a sense of tranquility and happiness.

Singing, singing, the second brother also clapped his hands, and his mouth also sang, "The cows in the east are coming, the horses are coming in the west, and the eldest sister of the Zhang family is coming." Bring a flower, bring a grass flower, the cowherd tramples to kill the crow......"

Different from the soft glutinous Suzhou dialect, Changzhou's Wuyin has a toughness, different from the people of Wudi, Changzhou people have the reputation of the southerners and the northerners, and behind the elegance and gentleness there is the boldness of the northerners, whether it is poetry or articles, this is reflected everywhere.

Listening to this nursery rhyme at the moment, thinking back to the history of the city, Jian Ning suddenly felt that everything in front of her became vivid, as if it was no longer so hazy.

I'm already in history......

I made money in the Ming Dynasty, I have a family, and now I have to start some interpersonal relationships, I am no longer Jian Ning, but Jian Sanniang, a Ming person.

Some of the resistance in her heart seemed to slowly disappear, she looked at the second brother who was singing happily, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something else in the responsibility she had promised, which made her heart soften, and she actually felt a little happy.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and he clapped his hands with everyone and sang softly, "The crow sues, sues the monk." The monk recites the scriptures, recites Guanyin, Guanyin shoots arrows, shoots the river line (earthworm) ......"

As if infected by the joyful mood of Jian Ning and the others, the voice of the captain became brighter, and he shook harder and harder. After a while, they arrived at the Xiyingli Wharf, and the group got off the boat, and Jian Ning remembered that there was a Xiyingli city wall here in later generations, which was built to resist the peasant uprising in Zhengde for six years, and he was a little secretly happy.

Fortunately, I am a traverser, and now most of the three years of Zhengde have passed, and the six years of Zhengde are also very fast, and I know all this in advance, so I can prepare early.

The liveliness of Xiyingli is beyond Jian Ning's imagination, with all kinds of food, cars and horses, shouting, and laughter all together, and there are more human details in the bustling river.

People in the places where shops are concentrated are more able to behave, and the bosses who can't be people are untenable in Xiying. The little man who led the horse and cart diligently fed the cattle of the merchants, and even helped them brush and tickle, and even hung a pocket on the side of the livestock, and Jian Ning only glanced at it, and then gave birth to a sense of pride.

At that time, Europe was still in the middle of the Middle Ages, and even regarded bathing as a source of illness. And London, Paris and other places that the world longed for are still the country of and urine at the moment, so they invented high heels.

The famous Palace of Versailles was built on the outskirts of the city by its owner, but it will soon become a new dirty place.

Looking at China at that time, even ordinary people knew that bathing diligently could reduce illness, and as for the infection of excrement, it was known a long time ago. Look at this Ming city, these details, who dares to say that the Chinese people are ignorant?
