Go home tomorrow, strive for more, and today you will still be on it~)

When Sanniang rushed to Songling Hospital, several people in Sun's room were talking happily.

When she was young, Mrs. He followed Master He to the north and south, and she also saw some of the world, and this time she talked about some of the things she had seen and heard at the western border back then, which made the boudoir women of the Sun family listen to it with amazement.

"So those women in the west rarely bathe once a year? Doesn't that smell on your body? Gansong, who has always been calm, couldn't help but ask, wrinkling his nose and looking disgusted.

At this time, a little girl came in to report that the third lady was here.

Sanniang entered the house and kowtowed in front of the Sun family first.

Sun nodded and pointed to the He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and said, "This is a relative of your uncle's grandmother's family, so you can call your cousin and sister-in-law." ”

Sanniang meekly responded, and stepped forward to greet Mrs. He and Mrs. He.

Mrs. He hurriedly stood up, took Sanniang's hand to prevent her from bowing, and only smiled: "Third Miss doesn't need to be polite." I only saw it from a distance last time, and at that time I was still thinking about which house this was a fairy-like person, and when I went down the mountain, I heard the little monk in the temple talk about it and knew that it was the young lady of the Wang family. I said, where can ordinary people raise girls with this kind of bearing. ”

Sanniang lowered her head and smiled when she heard this, looking a little shy.

Mrs. He took out a red-bottomed begonia gold silk purse from her sleeve and stuffed it into Sanniang's hand.

"Since I have a cheeky face to answer your cousin, it would be my rude not to give a meeting gift, this little object you play with is not a good thing, don't dislike it, Miss Three."

Mrs. He Shao also stepped forward with a smile, put a big red folded branch flower purse in Sanniang's hand, and said affectionately: "Cousin, this is a little meeting gift for my cousin-in-law, for you to play." ”

Sanniang glanced at Sun, Sun nodded at her slightly, she also smiled and handed over the two purses to Bai Ying, who came with her.

"Thank you, cousin, sister-in-law." Sanniang thanked her and sat down.

"I just came in and vaguely heard my cousin talking about what I saw and heard about Xiyi, which made Sanniang very curious." Sanniang said with a smile.

Gan Song hurriedly said: "Third Miss, you may not have heard. Mrs. He said that those Xiyi women don't take a bath all year round, how can this be endured? "Because the Sun family is also very interested, Gan Song is not afraid that the Sun family will reproach her for being rude, these first-class girls are all cultivated to the fine. No matter whether they look calm or jumpy on the outside, what to say and what not to say, when to say and when not to say it, they are clear in their hearts.

Sure enough, when Sun listened to Gan Song's interjection, he did not blame, but looked at Mrs. He with a smile.

Mrs. He hurriedly laughed and said, "This seems to us to be unbearable, but in the eyes of the people in the west, it is normal. They are dry all year round, and it is rare to have a rainy day all year round, let alone take a bath, and even drinking water on weekdays is a problem. Because there is often not a single river for dozens of miles, the people there dig wells, but the water from the wells there is not as clear as ours, and the water is so muddy that even our livestock here do not drink. ”

"Oh? And the people there also drank this muddy water? Sun said in surprise.

Mrs. He nodded and sighed: "The muddy well water is also precious and abnormal to them, the livestock are not even allowed to drink this kind of water, and the water that the livestock keepers feed the livestock is the dirty water stored after they have been used on weekdays. ”

"How can people there swallow?" Mama Chang also asked.

Mrs. He smiled: "It's good to get used to it, the people there have been like this for generations, and they don't feel bitter." I used to drink the well water there out of curiosity. ”

"Oh?" Sun was very curious.

Mrs. He smiled bitterly: "I don't want to think about that taste anymore, it is astringent and bitter, even if I swallow it, there is still a smell of mud and sand in my mouth." ”

"You actually swallowed it?" Gan Song said with wide eyes.

Mrs. He said seriously: "Our master said that he should follow the customs of the locals, where water is a precious thing, so I dare not waste it." ”

Sanniang listened with a smile all the time, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but look at Mrs. He seriously. This Mrs. He is well-informed, and listening to what she said, the old man He is not a short-sighted person, why would he be involved in the case of smuggling salt?

Sanniang was secretly speculating in her heart, and Mrs. He talked about what she had seen and heard again.

"We saw the hardships of the people of Nasiyi, but we did not know that the good and the bad in this world were in comparison, and I heard them say that where they went further west, there was a great desert. The women there are said to have bathed only three times, at birth, when they were married, and when they were buried. ”

When everyone heard this, there was another incredible exclamation, and Sanniang also cooperated to make a look of surprise.

"So it's not for nothing that spices are abundant in the west, they don't bathe all year round, and their bodies will inevitably smell peculiar, so they need spices to cover up, so as not to make people dare to get close." Gan Song said seriously.

Sun couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this.

Mrs. He also laughed with her, and said: "What the girl said is also somewhat reasonable, the body odor of these people in the west is much stronger than that of us people in the Central Plains, I heard that it is because they eat meat all year round and do not eat vegetarian. ”

"Ah, then we should eat more vegetarian and less meat in the future, so as not to stand here and smoke the old lady." Jatamansi towards licorice road.

Licorice just smiled lightly when he heard this.

Sun shook his head with a smile and said to Mrs. He: "The girls in my room have no rules, so they laughed." ”

Mrs. He hurriedly said: "I see that these girls in the old lady's room are better than other young ladies. They have these true temperaments, which is why you are lenient, old lady. ”

Sun took a sip of the teacup and said lightly: "Mrs. He, I came to see my old woman today, but what else is going on?" ”

Mrs. He was stunned, she didn't know how this old lady changed her face so quickly, and after looking at Sun's expression carefully, it didn't look like she was angry and wanted to drive away guests.

After all, she also has some knowledge, and when she saw that the Sun family was straight to the point, she didn't hide it, and said bluntly with a wry smile: "I'm ashamed to say it, and I don't hide it from the old lady, the younger generation came to the door this time for the sake of the husband." The younger generation knew the influence of the Wang family in Qingcheng County and even the entire Shandong government yamen, so he wanted to ask the Wang family to come forward. ”

Mrs. He glanced at Sun, saw Sun's noncommittal look, and said: "My husband has always been cautious since he took over the family business, and this sale of illicit salt is really ridiculous. However, the government did not listen to our argument and put the husband in prison, and the younger generation did not ask for anything else, but only hoped that the government could verify the matter again and return the husband's innocence. ”
