suspected wife

Qiao Mingjin and Zhou Yanqing walked and talked, but didn't notice Mrs. Sun's figure passing by.

The two opened the door and entered the yard, and saw Ming Qi by the well platform directing Zhou Yanqing's servant Shi Shi to pick and wash vegetables.

"Sister, Brother Zhou." Ming Qi raised his head and greeted the two of them.

Zhou Yanqing smiled and nodded towards Ming Qi.

Then he said to his little servant: "You have to wash it well, if you make me lose my teeth, I hope I won't take care of you!"

The stone raised his hands that were red from washing, and said aggrievedly: "Master, which vegetable stone has not been washed twice or three times?"

Qiao Mingjin looked at his hand and smiled.

Fortunately, it wasn't too cold that day, and the well water was warm and warm, so it wouldn't be too freezing.

"Where's Wan'er?" Qiao Mingjin asked.

Ming Qi pouted in the direction of the wing room.

Zhou Yanqing seemed to have just realized that she hadn't seen Wan'er today, and she would get bored with him for a while when she heard that he was coming.

"This child is very good today. Is he playing alone in the wing?"

Qiao Mingjin didn't answer him.Go to the door of the wing room and push open the closed door.

I saw the father and daughter lying on the bed together, sleeping soundly under the quilt.

Yue Zhongyao's face was no longer flushed like in the morning.Her breathing also sounded quite normal, and it seemed that it was nothing serious.He has a strong body, so he doesn't have any major problems, so he probably doesn't need to call a doctor.

Zhou Yanqing followed behind Qiao Mingjin, and naturally saw this scene.

He didn't speak, just raised his eyebrows.

Qiao Mingjin didn't wake up her daughter either.Carefully closing the door again, he walked towards the kitchen.

Zhou Yanqing naturally followed behind into the kitchen.

Qiao Mingjin glanced at him: "Could it be that you came to help me light the fire?"

"Why not? It happens to be warm in the kitchen."

"Didn't you say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen?"

"Shouldn't a gentleman stop eating? I'm not the kind of person who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world."

Qiao Mingjin smiled.

Seeing that some of the dishes that Ming Qi had washed had already been placed in the kitchen, he had a general idea of ​​what to cook.

Just as he was about to roll up his sleeves and get ready to get up, he realized that Zhou Yanqing was also there, and that guy was pulling a small stool and sitting on the stove, staring at her.

Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to put down the sleeves that were about to be rolled up.

He went to one side of the wall and took off a pair of sleeves from the nail hook on the top, put them on the sleeves, and pulled the upper and lower straps one by one.It is fastened up and down.

"This thing is not bad. It's really convenient for the masters in the workshop to wear this sleeve. It's just that the women and girls in our house and the kitchen workers are all staffed together now. What are you thinking? from?"

Would Qiao Mingjin tell him that this thing is commonplace in later generations?

She didn't think of this thing specially for the masters of the workshop, nor did she prepare it specially for cooking.

But some time ago, she watched Wan'er take Yun Luan to play outside with the children in the village, and every time she came home after playing, both sleeves of the newly made padded jacket were dirty.

Although it has been changed to narrow sleeves, if it is not like the wide sleeves, when it squats on the ground, the sleeves will be covered with black dust like a big broom.

But even if she made all her daughter's cotton-padded jackets into narrow-sleeved ones, the child would spend a day playing outside.The cuffs were all black.

Except for Qiao Mingjin, no one thought about bathing and changing clothes every day these days.Not to mention the fact that the weather is getting colder now.

Cousin He couldn't help getting angry every time she saw Yunluan's dirty cuffs, and took Xiaoyunluan over to slap her ass hard.

The padded jacket is filled with cotton, not to mention that it will not need to be washed every day like ordinary clothes, and if it is washed a lot, the padded jacket will not be warm.And where does He have the time to wash Xiao Yunluan's cotton clothes every day?

Qiao Mingjin also had a headache.

Later, she remembered the down jackets worn by her nephews.

That down jacket is going to be dry cleaned.Children often don't pay attention when they are having fun, and the cuffs are very dirty.You can't take the down jacket to dry cleaning every day.It costs money and trouble.

So the cousins ​​put sleeves on the nephews.Just wash the dirty sleeves when you get home.Put on a new one the next day.Very good at changing and washing.

So Qiao Mingjin took He Shi and hurriedly made several pairs of sleeves, the length of which reached the elbows.

Because there are no elastic bands or other things, I made a pull-out type with a thin thread, one pull and one pull, and then fix it with a button.

In this way, the cotton-padded clothes will be clean, and there is no need to change and wash them every day.She also stopped playing with the two children in mud.

Within two days, people in the village met.They all followed suit.

Even in Xiahe Village, drinking water is convenient and there is a well.But no one wants to wash clothes every day in winter.

With sleeves, it's good now, not to mention children, girls and sisters-in-law in the village, men, women, old and young, as long as they do work, everyone should have a pair of them.

For this reason, many people even thanked Qiao Mingjin with the vegetables grown at home.

Later, Qiao Mingjin and Mingqi He helped the masters in the workshop to make a pair by hand.

Later, after being praised by the masters, I felt that this thing was really convenient.

So Qiao Mingjin made several pairs of samples out of floral cloth and plain cloth, and divided them into male and female models, adult models and children's models, long and short models, and sent Yun Jin to Yao's grocery store.

When Yao Ping received the item, he bought cloth the same day and asked his two sisters-in-law and his mother to rush to make a large batch and sell it in grocery stores.

Business is excellent!

Almost all the people who bought it bought several pairs. The adults, children, and men and women in the family all had a pair, and some people bought two or three pairs for replacement.

The Yao family father and son couldn't help but be overjoyed.

I hurriedly bought rags and fabrics from defective stores at a low price from the cloth shop, and rushed to make a batch of low-cost sleeves and shipped them to other places and the countryside for sale.

Because of the low cost, it is not possible to save a few copper coins by buying cloth from farmers, so even in rural areas.That business is also very good.

Only a few days later, when Yao Ping came to the village to sell goods again, he announced the good news to Qiao Mingjin, saying that the business in the store was booming again.

And after Zhou Yanqing took a few sets back to the mansion, everyone in his mansion followed suit.

Nowadays, most of the ladies in mansions wear clothes with wide sleeves. Whether they are playing the piano, doing needlework, painting or writing large characters, wide sleeves are extremely inconvenient.With the cuffs, it is much more convenient to just put one set on.

The old lady of the Zhou Mansion was so happy that she rewarded Qiao Mingjin with two bolts of Songjiang cotton cloth...

At this time, Zhou Yanqing sat by the stove and asked her how she came up with the sleeve.She could only answer that it was inspired by her laziness and reluctance to wash her clothes when she watched her daughter play and dirty her clothes.

"It's nice of you to get some inspiration from time to time. The parents of other children never thought of it."

"Are you trying to praise me for being smart?"

"Yes, yes. Otherwise, should I find someone with a bad mind to cooperate with? I don't burn too much money."

At this moment, Qiao Mingjin was putting on the apron she made herself for vegetables, and it was stretched forward from top to bottom like half a dress.

Looking at him while tying the belt back: "Do you know what you look like at this moment?"

Zhou Yanqing glanced at herself a few times: "What does it look like?"

A young man from a rich family, dressed in silk and inlaid with gold and jade, was sitting in front of the stove in the kitchen of a peasant family in the country.No matter how you look at it, it violates the peace.

"You'd better sit in the main room. Otherwise, your clothes will be dirty in a while."

"Are you afraid that I don't have any clothes to change?" Master Saturday cast Qiao Mingjin a leisurely look.

"I didn't know that when you go out, there must be clothes, shoes and socks in the carriage. It's just that this lonely man and widow..."

"Are you afraid?" Zhou Yanqing stared at Qiao Mingjin and asked.

Qiao Mingjin glanced at him, but said nothing.

Zhou Yanqing looked at the woman in front of her, wearing ordinary muslin clothes. Although she had given her a lot of silk, she had never seen this woman make silk clothes for herself.

There were simply two silver hairpins inserted on her head, and she had never seen her wear the gold hairpin he gave her.

At this time, he was still wearing a nondescript half apron.

But it just didn't strike him as vulgar.Every move is natural.It looks kind.

"It's broad daylight, and there are people in the yard again. There are lonely men and widows. Besides, which one is the lonely man and which is the widow?"

After Zhou Yanqing finished speaking, seeing the eyes of the woman in front of him darken, he pursed his lips embarrassingly and stopped talking.

He never asked her about her man.All he knew was that she would be divorced a year after she moved out.

It's just that why did that man sleep in the wing of her house just now?Him, did he sleep here last night?

"No. When he came this morning, I saw that he was a little bit cold. I cooked him a bowl of ginger soup and went to the workshop. I think he fell asleep because he was not feeling well."

Zhou Yanqing bit her tongue.Why couldn't he stop himself from asking?

"Then. How many days will he be back this time?"

"I didn't ask."

Zhou Yanqing felt that she was a bit talkative today.

He glanced at Qiao Mingjin, and the woman in front of him looked calm.She didn't see any emotional fluctuations, and when it came to her man, it was like water in an ancient well.

He hastily moved the stool towards the stove: "Shall I help you light the fire? What's delicious today?"

"Will it start a fire?"

"Joke. Master can't start a fire?"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the two flints in front of the stove and "cracked" to start a fire.

It's just that there are sparks, but the pine hair in front of the burning stove is never seen.

Qiao Mingjin saw that he was in a hurry, and hurried forward to take his flint and help him set the pine hair on fire.

Then use iron clips to clamp the lighted pine hair under the thick firewood in the stomach, and the firewood will ignite.

Zhou Yanqing looked at the flames jumping in the stove, and suddenly felt his body warm up.

Qiao Mingjin saw that there was a short rib today, so she decided to make a crispy rib.

Pour oil into the pan and prepare to fry the small ribs first.

Now that life is better, she is willing to cook these oily dishes.

"Hide away, and be careful not to be splashed with oil. I'm not in charge of washing clothes."

"That's for you to wash."

But having said that, Master Saturday also stood up from the stool and took two steps back.

Qiao Mingjin poured the marinated short ribs into the pot, and the oil splashed out.

She stepped back, but unexpectedly, she just stepped on the dress, and she leaned back.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Zhou Yanqing fished forward and grabbed her waist...

Yue Zhongyao held on to the door frame of the kitchen and felt a sharp pain...

He just felt more and more top-heavy, and his whole body was light, as if he was about to be blown away by the cold wind... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
