After eating, the Jiang family untied the burden sent by the He family.

A smell of sweat mud rushing to the nose came into Xiangling's nose, and he couldn't help covering his nose.

Ten sets, all dark red clothes, Jiang shook them one by one, and did not find anything that fell, but found two clothes under the armpits and a pair of pants with broken knees, and Jiang picked up the needle and thread and sewed them.

Xiangling was attracted by a set of silk-faced clothes pressed at the bottom, the smell on this dress, she smelled it, in addition to the smell of sweat and mud, there was also a smell of sunshine and grass.

It smelled exactly like the man she met today picking mushrooms.

Xiangling picked it up and confirmed that it should be the man's, but this one is not broken, and it should not be the same as the one he was wearing when he saw him.

Jiang Shi also picked up his clothes in surprise and looked at them, and said suspiciously: "Isn't it just to wash the coarse cloth clothes of the soldiers?" How does this look like being an official? How do you wash the silk? ”

Since I was a child, I have only seen clothes made of silk and satin, but I have never touched it, let alone wear it, I only feel smooth and slippery, very squeamish, and I especially love to fold it, let her wash it by hand, and I am really a little afraid that I dare not start.

I had the heart to go back and not wash, but I was afraid of annoying He's uncle-in-law, that is, Lizheng of Liuhe Village, who lost the laundry messenger in the future; I don't want to go back and wash it myself, but I'm afraid that I will compensate for the loss if it is washed, and I will be embarrassed.

Xiangling couldn't bear the Jiang family's sadness, and muttered: "Mother, you put this dress first, and I'll wash it when I come back from Yushu Village tomorrow." ”

"Will you wash? If it is washed, we can't afford to pay for it! Jiang looked surprised.

Xiangling still knows some about the basic maintenance of satin, which needs to be kneaded with warm water, not exposed to the sun, and dried naturally, if it is washed with vinegar, it will be better.

Xiangling didn't dare to tell the Jiang family that she would in her previous life, so she simply lied: "Mother, last time I went to Yushu Village, I saw Zhou Langzhong's daughter-in-law washing silk clothes, I asked her how to wash it." Just ......."

"Just what?" Jiang's heart, which he had finally put down, hung up again.

Xiangling picked up the clothes and sniffed them carefully: "This clothes should not be washed with plant ash, there is a faint smell of sunlight on the grass, I don't know what it is." ”

The people here, whether it is washing dishes or washing clothes, all use plant ash, which is equivalent to all-purpose soap. Xiangling didn't like it very much, and always felt that it couldn't be cleaned.

This garment was obviously not washed with grass and wood, and it smelled of grass, very light, but it smelled good.

Jiang suddenly realized: "I know, it should be soaphorn used." ”

"Soap horn? Where can I find it? "Xiangling has heard of soaphorn, but she has never seen what it looks like.

Jiang suddenly said: "There is an old soaphorn tree outside the Chuzhuang wall!" ”

Immediately, the excited Jiang sighed again and said: "The tree was born close to the wall of the Chu family, and the villagers were afraid that Chu Zhuang would treat it as a thief, so no one picked it at all." Only the people of Chuzhuang, every summer and autumn, will step on the ladder to pick soaphorn thorns and soaphorn pods. ”

Growing on the outside of the wall means that it is not private property, and you can pick it at will.

Xiangling decided to get up early tomorrow and go to Zhou Langzhong's house first, and when she came back, she would pick soaphorns.

......

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Xiangling carried a basket on her back, took more than 200 copper coins, and promised the Jiang family to find He Hua on the surface, but in fact, she went straight to Yushu Village alone.

As he was walking, a donkey came behind him.

When the driver saw a lonely little girl on the road, he smiled and asked, "Little girl, which village are you going to take you to for a ride?" The car money is rewarded. ”

Xiangling turned her head and saw that there were only two women sitting on the donkey cart with similar eyebrows and eyes, and it should be a mother-daughter relationship depending on the age.

Seeing Xiangling's face clearly, the middle-aged woman was stunned at first, then flashed with disgust, and pulled off the girl's arm, the girl also glanced at Xiangling, and naturally rolled her eyes, and the mother and son turned their faces almost at the same time, and they didn't even want to look at Xiangling.

Looking at the small movements, these two people must know Xiangling, but unfortunately, the silly Xiangling in the past only had an impression of the people he often saw, and the people who had only seen a few faces couldn't remember it at all.

Xiangling replied crisply: "Big brother, I'll go to the elm village in front, it's close, and you don't need to take a car." ”

The coachman smiled and said, "We're also going to Elm Village, it's almost there anyway, so you don't need to reward money, come up." ”

The woman was not happy when she heard this, and scolded angrily: "Lao Huang, we came here with a wallet car, and it is not suitable for you to pick someone else on the way, right?" ”

The coachman gave Xiangling an apologetic smile awkwardly and explained: "I just see that it is not easy for the little girl to walk such a long way, and I think that one more person will not have much weight, you are not happy, just don't pull." ”

The coachman hit the donkey on the back with a willow stick, and the donkey cart ran forward past Xiangling.

Not far away, Xiangling heard the girl say to the woman: "Mother, the fool didn't recognize us, right?" I heard that my aunt went out to be single, so she won't come to our house to search for it, right? ”

The woman replied, "Keep your mouth shut, and don't tell your milk, lest she fill the bottomless pit of the house." ”

The girl chuckled and said, "Mother, what's left in my grandmother's hand?" ”

The donkey cart drifted away.

...

"Auntie"? Xiangling squinted lightly and fell into deep thought.

Jiang's maiden family is in Sanhetun, twenty miles away from Chujia Village, his father passed away, leaving only one mother, the second in the family, with an older brother above, a younger sister and a younger brother.

Judging by the age of this woman and the girl, it should be Jiang's sister-in-law Yang and niece Jiang Fenfang, that is, Xiangling's aunt and cousin.

"Cut," Xiangling rolled her eyes, really wanting to spit out the fragrance to the mother and daughter.

Although no one asks about the poor on the street, but after seeing close relatives like this, they still pretend that they don't know their own aunt and cousin and still live to see each other for a long time.

No wonder the family has been separated for several days, and none of the Jiang family has shown up, it turned out that the Yang family, who was the only one in the Jiang family who received the letter, concealed the news, afraid that the Jiang family would come to the door to fight the autumn wind, and from then on he would not be able to shake off his torn pants and legs.

Xiangling didn't get angry because of this kind of cat and dog, so she sped up her pace and went straight to Zhou Langzhong's medicine house.

...

When he arrived in the courtyard, he found Zhou Langzhong standing in the courtyard, entangled by two women.

The two women are none other than Xiangling's cheap aunt and cousin.

Their destination turned out to be the same as themselves, it was also the Zhou family!

"Zhou Langzhong, you can show my daughter again, she is sixteen years old, and her mother-in-law is waiting to get married!" Aunt Yang said anxiously.

Zhou Langzhong said with annoyance: "I said that I can't watch it, I can't watch it, you woman, why are you still unreasonable and entangled, third son!" Drop-off! ”

The third son protected Zhou Langzhong on the one hand, and said to the Yang family with a grim face: "Please go out, my master is not a female doctor, and if you don't see a female doctor, you can go to the county seat to find a granddaughter doctor." ”

Yang Shi was annoyed and said, "If the granddaughter doctor can be optimistic, why should I come to you again!" You don't need to look at the disease, just prescribe some conditioning prescriptions. ”

Zhou Langzhong flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Nonsense! How can you prescribe a prescription for people without looking at the disease? Leave quickly, don't mess around. ”

Yang sat on the ground angrily and said, "If you don't show it, I won't leave!" ”

This action is smooth and should be a daily habitual action.

Seeing this scene, Xiangling wanted to quietly withdraw, but was already seen by the Yang family and Jiang Fenfang, so she had to walk in and greet Zhou Langzhong: "Zhou Langzhong." ”

Zhou Langzhong saw that it was Xiangling, and his face suddenly burst with chrysanthemums on his face, and said with a smile: "Xiangling, are you here?!" I'm asking for help from you! ”

Zhou Langzhong, who used to be "........", called her "Miss Chu", and suddenly called "Xiangling", which made Xiangling feel flattered.
