Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 39: Just Wash and It Will Be Clean

Zhang Kaiwu said in surprise: "I didn't say I wanted to kick her out. She can stay as long as she wants!"

"Don't worry, this is her home too, how could I do such a thing!"

Chen Xueru looked at him and felt that he was determined.

Let’s talk about it later…

She smiled and said, "Brother Kaiwu, when will you bring your two concubines from the countryside over? I am also very curious about what they look like."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said, "No hurry, my affairs in the countryside have not been settled yet, and they haven't even married yet."

Chen Xueru: “…”

Ah!
So that's how it is! ?

Zhang Kaiwu introduced Zhou Zhaodi and Qin Huairu to her and told her about their situations.

Chen Xueru chatted with him for a while with a smile on her face, and the more she talked, the happier she became...

Hahahaha!

I am the real lady...

I am the first one to open Wu Ge...

Brother Kaiwu is truly a gentleman, a young man with elegant manners.

What is the White Tiger Evil Spirit?!

They are such fools, they don't even eat the meat that's right in front of them...

Now I can only be a concubine, right?!
…………

The two chatted until noon, and Chen Lin came back with a piece of pork.

She didn't even know that she was being sent out to give birth!
Mrs. Lin handed the pork to Nanny Wang and went into the master bedroom to see what was going on.

Seeing Chen Xueru looking radiant, she was chatting with Zhang Kaiwu who was sitting on the edge of the kang.

This is good news.

She gave her a questioning look, and Chen Xueru responded with a proud expression.

It’s done!
Lin Xiaoniang rushed over, hugged Zhang Kaiwu excitedly and said:
"My dear son! It's right for you to think this way. You should be more realistic in life."

"What's wrong with hiring a son-in-law? You can save yourself 30 years of hard work. From now on, you will be the male head of the Chen family, and everyone in the family will listen to you."

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

Here we go again! ?
It's wrong for you to bully others like this!
He looked at Chen Xueru doubtfully...

Is she reliable or not?!
…………

Chen Xueru understood immediately and said with a smile: "Brother Kaiwu, didn't you want to go to the toilet just now?"

"There's a restroom in the back yard, go quickly!"

…………

When did I say I needed to go to the bathroom?

Now he felt that there were some issues with Chen Xueru as well. She was smooth and beautiful.

There may be something wrong with your brain!
Zhang Kaiwu sighed silently and lit a Hardman cigarette.

Following the passage next to the master bedroom, he slowly walked to the backyard with a cigarette in his mouth...

Nanny Wang was cleaning the piece of fat pork in the kitchen, and Zhang Kaiwu walked around the backyard with a smile on his face.

One is Nanny Wang’s room. There is nothing good to see and it is not convenient to look at.

One is the kitchen, which is filled with pots, pans, jars and cans.

Except that it is a little bigger and the things are prettier, it is similar to the ones in the countryside, all of which are earthen stoves that burn firewood sticks.

There is also a thick chimney next to it, which is probably used to heat the kang in the house. It is now blocked with iron sheets.

Compared with his own kitchen, he felt that the floor was paved with blue bricks and the stove was also made of blue bricks.

Everything in my own house is made of mud.

It’s not as environmentally friendly and beautiful as my own home. There is not a single brick or tile in my home, all of them are handmade.

Thatched roof.

A strong Balinese style...

.........

In other words, their bathroom is more advanced and has a squat toilet.

The floor was also paved with blue bricks to facilitate water flow. Unlike Zhang Kaiwu's house, the floor must not get wet.

I guess there is a septic tank outside. Isn’t this too troublesome! ?
I have to hire someone to dig it out...!? After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was not a big deal. The septic tank opening was outside the backyard.

Feces are a treasure nowadays, and I guess there are a lot of people digging them up.

It can even be sold for money!

There was not a single electric light in Chen Xueru's house, except for a very annoying lantern hanging on the wall.

The sanitary conditions in this bathroom are better, and it also has a large wooden bathtub.

There were a few more large wooden basins and a few more bars of soap than at home, but not even a faucet.

There was also a locomotive tooth powder on the wash rack, and he looked at it curiously.

A small iron box with a locomotive emitting thick smoke in the middle.

There were words like "Shenyang Old Locomotive Tooth Powder" and "Transportation" written around it. He opened it and took a look out of curiosity. It was just some white tooth powder.

Tooth powder is a bit strange. No matter where it is produced, why is it called a locomotive? ?

There are also a few pig-bristle toothbrushes next to them, with the trademark engraved on them: Double Ten Brand Liang Xinji Gu.

There are a few flowers carved on the toothbrush handles, and the pig bristles on one of the toothbrushes have obviously been repaired.

The colors of the new and old bristles on the brush are slightly different...

Zhang Kaiwu took the toothbrush curiously and looked at it again and again.

So that's how it is!

The bristles on our teeth are longer now than they will be in the future, about five centimeters, and one or two centimeters longer than the toothbrushes we will use in the future.

It turns out that hair can be repaired! ?
Bone record! ?
Toothbrush handles are made of bones, no wonder bones can be sold for money now! ?

I thought that now even pig hair, chicken feathers, broken slag and glass can be sold for money.

Uh uh uh uh!

Great!

This is the first time I see such an ancient thing, and this toothbrush bristle can be repaired.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

I have really broadened my horizons!
But then I thought about it and realized that Qin Huairu had a big bowl that had been patched up at home.

The scar on it looks like a centipede...

If bowls can be repaired, how much more so toothbrush bristles? !

He also let go of the repaired toothbrush...

It will be clean after washing and you can use it with confidence.

Lin Xiaoniang is actually the same.

wrong.

I'm thinking wrong again...

…………

Nowadays, no matter what it is, people value its sturdiness. One thing can be passed down through three generations, and the thing remains even after the person is gone.

Now is an era where everything can be repaired and still used. No one will buy things that cannot be repaired.

At least it's much better than just making up one thing later.

Throwing away the toothbrush, Zhang Kaiwu ran into the yard to smoke.

…………

The small well in their yard is much more convenient than their own home, as they don't have to go out to fetch water.

Considering that they are all women, the negative energy in the yard is too strong.

Zhang Kaiwu was walking around the yard with a cigarette in his mouth.

Is there a young lady in the yard next door?
Twenty-eight years old, with a sword at his waist! ?

Zhang Kaiwu stood at the wall next to the east wing and looked. The east wing of Chen Xueru's house should be the west wing next door.

Isn’t that how it’s played out in plays?
The girl from the west wing next door climbed up a ladder to a tree to catch a kite, but it was caught by the oil-selling boy from the east wing.

The fruit of love.

If it is a scholar version, it must be about a poor scholar who failed the imperial examination.

There are countless stories about the East Wing and the West Wing.
