Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 129
Li Xin entered Amei's room, Amei was sitting on the edge of the bed, busy with something in her hands, when she heard someone coming in, she put her hands back and said with an embarrassed smile: "Sister-in-law, you are here."

"What are you doing?" Li Xin asked.

A-mei moved her hand back shyly, and said with a shy smile, "It's a small dress that fits next to your body."

That is underwear.

Li Xin sat down and asked her to continue. While watching, he asked, "Auntie, are you familiar with the mountains and forests at home? Is there any place where there are flowers everywhere?"

A-mei blinked and said, "Yes, there is such a place, but there are no flowers now, it's winter."

"It's okay, I'll just ask, and I can go and have a look when spring comes."

Li Xin talked to A-mei with a smile, and then asked her: "Hands are so dry, do they usually itch?"

"It's okay." A-mei stretched out her hand and replied, "It's just a little crusty, and it looks dirty."

"Didn't you put on any oil?" Li Xin frowned.

"...It feels dirty, I can't wash it off, I haven't put it on..."

Li Xin couldn't help laughing when she saw her timid look like she had done something wrong, sighed and said, "I don't mean to blame you, it's just that your hands are yours, so you still need to take care of them."

Think about it: "I have beeswax and saponins at home. I will put them together and burn them. After they melt, add some honey and mix them with water to see if they can moisturize my hands."

In fact, the best skin care and moisturizing thing is glycerin, but this thing has to be extracted industrially, and individuals cannot extract it.Otherwise, if there is glycerin, it will be very convenient to do many things.

Just do what you say, Li Xin hurriedly found beeswax and saponins, mixed them with water and boiled them, let them cool down a bit after they melted, added honey and stirred them evenly, put them aside and waited for about half an hour , Then look at the small box of homemade hand cream that has solidified.

Li Xin took it and put it under his nose and sniffed it. He found it tasteless, but on the contrary, it smelled like honey.

My sister is already eager to try.

Li Xin handed it to her, and she couldn't wait to smell it too, her eyes brightened slightly: "Sister-in-law, this smells really good."

"It would be even better if there is a fragrance of flowers." Li Xin took the box back with a smile, and said, "If in spring, all the flowers are in bloom, if you pick the flowers and put them in to boil, the fragrance of the flowers will also be brought in. That's good. .”

While talking, he picked it up with his fingers, and felt that it might be a bit hard because of the lack of water.After shaking back a little, Li Xin dipped some water and water, and then felt a little softer.

I tried it on my own hands first, smeared it all over, and sniffed it under my nose: "Not bad, it doesn't smell bad, and it's not as greasy as the hand oil you said. Sister, go wash your hands. Wipe the water clean, and try this homemade thing."

A-mei did as she said, imitating Li Xin's movements and daubing some on her own hands, she exclaimed in amazement: "Sister-in-law, really, the shell is gone!"

Li Xin took her hand and looked at it, probably because she had never used it before, so the effect was more obvious. At this moment, the dander that was originally attached to her hand was almost gone.

A-mei was overjoyed, she quickly put away the small box, and said distressedly: "I have to dig out some of it once I use it, and I have a lot of it when I wash my hands every day... Besides, saponins and honey are not cheap..."

I also want to use pork belly...

Li Xin was slandering, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

Generally speaking, village households use plant ash to wash their clothes, and better ones use saponins, and only rich people who are willing to spend money will buy pigtails.

And there should be a lot of glycerin in the pig ling!

It's just that the price of pork belly is a bit high...

To make hand cream according to her idea, the prerequisite is to have a good financial backing. Which raw materials do not need money?The ten taels of silver in her hand is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

For a while, she felt a little frustrated again, touched Amei's hand and said: "It's okay, let's do it ourselves, it won't cost too much, nothing is as important as Amei's hand."

A-mei blushed and nodded, holding the small box in her hand and couldn't put it down.

Li Xin let her go, "You can keep this for yourself, wash your hands at night when you go to bed, and apply it once, and if you feel dry during the day, you can also apply it."

"Ah."

"That's right." Li Xin instructed again: "You know what your elder brother said to Master Wu today, don't you? Tomorrow we will pack up your things for you, and you will live with me in the room with your elder brother for years to come. The house, where your eldest brother lives with your grandfather. After your house is repaired, you can move back."

"Understood, sister-in-law." A-mei hurriedly said, "Then I will pack my things now."

"Don't panic, how many things do you have?" Li Xin said with a smile, "There will be time to clean up tomorrow. Master Wu will not come to work until every two days."

The sister-in-law was talking when she suddenly felt that there was some noise outside, and Erhei was also barking.Usually Erhei basically doesn't growl.

Their house was built on a small slope, so it was easy to hear any movement.This unusual noise made Li Xin frowned, and hurried out with A-mei, just as Guan Wen came out, the couple looked at each other, and both looked at Xiaopokouzi.

Guan Wen said: "You wait here, I'll go and have a look."

Erhei yelled "Wow, woof" at the bottom of the small slope, and heard a man's voice: "Go, go!" It seemed to be chasing Erhei, making him not be so aggressive.

Guan Wen walked over and frowned slightly looking at the situation under the slope.

When the leader saw someone coming, he quickly asked, "This is Guan Wen's house, right?"

Ah Wen nodded and said, "I am Guan Wen. Who are you?"

The man immediately said happily: "We belong to the Shen family in the town!"

As he spoke, he yelled to the back: "Mommy, it's here!"

Not far from the uphill entrance was a beautifully decorated carriage, and a servant woman with slightly silver hair on her temples stood aside. After hearing what the man said, she turned around and slowly lifted the curtain of the carriage. First, a delicate girl jumped out of it. , carrying a large bag of things in his hand, another plainly dressed but definitely extraordinary lady came down. The lady was helped out of the car by the maid and the girl, and then a pink and jade-carved doll came out.

The noble lady came up holding the hand of the servant who was called "Nurse" by the man, surrounded by four strong servants and the girl, the child obediently held the girl's hand, and walked around curiously look back.

Guan Wen frowned. Hearing that it was the "Shen family", he naturally thought of the time when his daughter-in-law went to the town last time. Wasn't it the young master of the Shen family who saved him?

Seeing that noble lady seemed to be coming up, he hurriedly said: "But Shen Cexing belongs to Master Shen's family?"

The man said: "That is the Shen family."

Looking back at the noble lady, the man said again: "My wife came here specially to thank my sister-in-law for saving my young master's life a few days ago."

When people talked about this, Guan Wen naturally didn't want to stop him, and saw the lady looking at him, but her expression was very gentle, so he was relieved a little, and turned to Li Xin and shouted: "Xin'er, It's Mrs. Shen."

Li Xin was very surprised.

Frankly speaking, she also thought about it. That day, she impulsively stepped forward to follow the flamboyant woman, rescued the young master of the Shen family by accident, and helped the government solve a case by accident and captured a nest Although the criminals got 100 taels from the government, it can be said that they paid and got rewards, but it is impossible for the Shen family to express nothing.

What's more, Mrs. Shen also said before she left that that night, she would thank her a lot in the future.

Li Xin also waited in secret for two days, and seeing that there was still no one from the Shen family, she gradually calmed down.

People didn't take the initiative to mention it, and she didn't have the cheek to post it and ask them to repay their kindness.Besides, Zhao Changhui was still working as a clerk in Shen Jiafu's mansion, so all aspects of the relationship still had to be considered.

She didn't expect that when she felt that the Shen family probably forgot about this matter, and she also felt that it was over, the Shen family's wife would condescend to come to this poor mountain valley and come here to "thank you" her?
Li Xin rushed up to greet her, not flattering but warmly invited Mrs. Shen and her party up the slope, seeing the little doll who looked like a golden boy, thinking that this was probably the child he saved that day.He was really good-looking, he looked only seven or eight years old, and he was a little more agile and well-behaved than he had been sleeping and comatose that night.

Mrs. Shen was supported by the maid, and Li Xin also saw the maids on both sides leading the children into the main room together.The man who shouted also came in, and the four servants stood guard outside.

Li Xin was also familiar with that man, he was the steward of the Shen residence who accompanied her into the yamen that day.

When a guest came, it was natural to prepare tea for them. A-mei went to the kitchen to get busy in a sensible manner. Madam Shen sat down, and the maid put the big bag in her hand on the table.

"Mrs. Shen..." Li Xin hesitated.

Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "Something at home has delayed these days, I'm really sorry for coming to your house now." She pushed the package a little further, "A small gift is not a respect."

Li Xin hurriedly said: "Madam Shen is too polite..."

"Don't say that, if you hadn't saved my little grandson, I'm afraid..." Mrs. Shen touched the head of the little baby standing beside her, and said, "Xuan'er, this aunt of the Guan family is yours." My savior, Grandma taught you, what should you do?"

The little baby nodded obediently and stood up, and made a big gift to Li Xin. Li Xin hurried to help, but was blocked by the servant girl, "Little sister-in-law, this is the courtesy that a young master should have."

The child's crisp and tender voice sounded: "Thank you, Aunt Guan, for saving Xuan'er's life. Xuan'er will remember it in my heart, and I will never forget it."

Li Xin laughed immediately: "Young master, you don't need to be too polite, please hurry up."

The child stood up straight, and his eyes rolled around Li Xin's body.

Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "He is usually quick-witted and lively. That day he was playing himself, and he had to go to the temple fair. Because of the negligence of the servants at home, he was captured by the bad guys. After returning home, he cried all day. That’s fine, it’s also a lesson for him.”

The little baby got into Mrs. Shen's arms resolutely, and Li Xin agreed: "Children at this age are always fond of playing, so just be more careful in the future."

Mrs. Shen watched Li Xin carefully.

She didn't rush to look for Li Xin in Hehua Village to express her gratitude, but also wanted to see Li Xin's attitude.According to what Han Kui said back, she didn't look too ecstatic when she took the 100 taels from the government, and she never showed greed. She also put forward such conditions, which is enough to show that she is a prudent person.In the past few days, she also waited to see if Li Xin would go to the government to threaten Ender for a return, but seeing that Li Xin did not make any move at all, she sent someone to inquire, saying that if he got the money, he would quickly pay the debtor. It was all over, so I made up my mind and came to Li Xin today.
