Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 236

As soon as it entered mid-May, the weather gradually became hotter. Song Yun took off her clothes from the fifth or sixth floor to the third or fourth floor. Now, wearing two layers is a bit boring.

It's a pity that people are not allowed to show their bodies at this time, not only women, but also men.

Of course, except for those who do physical work, they can barely show their red and black arms.

No matter how particular you are, those who do their best just to survive will be fine with a tattered trousers around their lower body.

But the Song family is not in this category. They can be less particular when they are at home, and they have to have an elegant posture of "calm and naturally cool" when they go out.

Like Song Ce and Song Zhen, he had to go to the academy to study in a serious manner every day. He also cared about face, and was afraid of losing face in front of his classmates.

The old lady Song was so distressed that she gritted her teeth and bought the newly shipped ramie cloth from the cloth shop to make clothes for her two grandchildren.

The fabric is very expensive. Take the mutton that Mrs. Song likes to use as an example. The price of the fabric to make two clothes is enough for the Song family to buy mutton for a whole winter.

When they were in the county before, this kind of cloth could not wait for their family to buy, because the quantity shipped over was very small, and the merchants also knew that there were few rich people in the county town, so they couldn't afford the money, so they shipped a few pieces, and they were sold first. The officials are scheduled to go.

Even when I came to Fucheng, it was the first time I bought it at home, and even Mrs. Song hadn't worn it.

Song Yun is not very happy, why treat them differently?In her two lifetimes, she has never worn this kind of fabric.

If you feel hot, don't you go to school under the sun every day, and then go home under the sun, isn't it hot?

My mother is either crackling and planning, or going to the kitchen to cook, isn't it hot?
My father went to Zheng's house to study every now and then, and he went back and forth under the sun, and it was also hot.

As for the old lady, Song Yun curled her lips. Of course, she is not hot. Since the weather got hot, she didn't bother to go out to chat with her old sisters. She wore loose clothes and drank tea with a fan all day long.

Song Yun decided to reason. Either she couldn't afford the money to buy it herself, or she couldn't bear the grievance.

Mrs. Song pouted:
"Do you have prickly heat? If you don't have it, you don't need it."

"I don't have prickly heat, but I am also hot. Why don't I need it. Having prickly heat is not the only criterion for judging whether it is hot or not."

"If it doesn't grow, it means it's not hot. It's fine, don't make trouble with me, it will affect my listening to the story."

Hu Pozi, who stood up and waited after Song Yun arrived, smiled awkwardly.

It's summer, and the Song family's appetite has weakened, and they don't like to eat stewed, steamed or fried things, so the work in the kitchen is easier.

Mrs. Hu is so winking, she is afraid that she will be rejected if she does not do enough, so she decisively looks for part-time job opportunities.

She knew that Mrs. Song liked to listen to some news about her parents, and she was reluctant to go out to chat with others because of the hot weather, so she contributed the gossip she had seen and heard in the old master's house in the previous half of her life.

Song Yun could only hold her breath and leave. This old lady is really forgetful. Before, she was angry because Mrs. Hu said bad things about herself, but she changed her attitude so quickly.

She decided to buy it out of her own pocket, and not to buy the old lady's share, let's see what she said.

However, after visiting the cloth village, she was silent, it is really expensive...

She would rather be calm and cool naturally than spend the money on the daily heartache of the price of the clothes.

Fortunately, the Shen family is not a stingy person in terms of life. Fucheng is to the south of Liyang County, which is hotter in itself, and the family has a lot of income now. Before Song Yun hesitated, she bought it back quickly. up.

Faced with Mrs. Song's heartbroken eyes looking at the prodigal daughter-in-law, Mrs. Shen distributed the fabrics slowly:

"The flower blue one is girly, you look good in this color.

The one in ultramarine blue belongs to my husband, he said last time that the junior brother of the Zheng family wore a gown of this color and it looked good, so he made one for him this time.

The gardenia color is for Ru Niang. She was pregnant before, so she might not be able to wear a lot of clothes from last summer, so make a bright one now.

Oh, and this one, it's undyed, let's make a small coat for Ru Niang's child, although the color is not so pretty, it's safer not to be dyed. "

Mrs. Song was stunned by Shen's "small favors and small benefits", and happily agreed. Anyway, the money held by her daughter-in-law would not reach her even if she didn't spend it.

And they were all bought for themselves or their children, so the old lady couldn't even say no.

Mrs. Shen left the fabric with Mrs. Song and said:

"Mother's craftsmanship is better, and she understands the preferences of my husband and mother Ru better than I do. Why don't you instruct Mrs. Hu to do it according to your ideas. Sister Yun and I, I can do it myself."

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it, I'll let someone do it."

Song Jun was dragged away step by step by Shen Shi, and seeing the happy expression of his old lady, he was taught a lesson by his mother-in-law.

See, Shen only needs to highlight how much care she puts into buying things for her husband and mother-in-law, and specifically mentions that she is thinking of her sister-in-law and her children, so she diverts the attention of Mrs. Song.

When the old lady finished these sets of clothes and came back to her senses, she would have the nerve to call Shen's prodigal, after all, she was short of manpower.

While making clothes, Shen did not forget to order people to change the style of the guys in each house.

The original cloth curtains and thick mats, except for Mrs. Song's house, were replaced with bamboo curtains and mats that were polished smooth enough.

This also included Wang Xin, Song Qin, and Song An's family.

Wang Xin and Song Qin are not just running errands with Song Nian now, after all, the Song family's job is not worthy of keeping the two young men on call at all times.

After asking each other for their opinions, Song Nian found Wang Xin an escort with good boxing skills, and asked him to recognize his master to learn boxing.

Wang Xin is determined to study hard so that he can be a military helper beside Song Nian in the future.

As for Song Qin, Song Nian actually felt a little pity, because he found that Song Qin had some talent in reading.

But it was too late, and it was impossible for Song Qin's family to provide for him. As for Song Nian's offering, to be more realistic, it would be better to find a few children from the clan if the money was spent on him, and the benefits would be greater.

Moreover, Song Qin himself didn't want to take the imperial examination route. He had self-knowledge and knew that he didn't have this fate. Instead, it was more important to find a way to make money and help Uncle Niantang as soon as possible.

So, he followed Song An to learn how to settle accounts.

Whether it's Wang Xin, Song Qin, Song An's family, their respective positions mean that they have a closer relationship with Song Nian's family.

Therefore, Shen is not stingy with this kind of care in daily life, but is subtly trying to make them more and more loyal to her family.

To the servants, Shen wasn't mean, and gave out a month's worth of moon silver so that they could look at the things they were going to use in the summer.

Whether to eat more ice or buy a piece of breathable fabric, it’s up to them. Although it costs money, it’s better than sweating and waiting close to them.

In fact, this is also a way to cultivate the loyalty of servants. You can't expect to restrain them with a bond of sale alone.

It may not be obvious whether you are voluntary or forced to give up, but it is very different when you are in crisis.

In this regard, although Shen Shi did not learn the art of controlling subordinates when she was in her natal family, she knew how to do it without a teacher.

　The recent ice cream is really getting more and more expensive...
