Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 386
Shan Tian Zhuang

That day Xu Qing presided over the prison and erected the main beam. After a few days, the second floor was quietly built, and the third floor was almost completed.In this small building, the most important thing is the second floor. As a few girls, I am, and the third floor is just a study room, which can be seen from a distance, and can also put Xu Qing's secret stuff.

Moreover, in order to speed up the progress, the girls have already finished the decoration on the first floor. It is elegant and unique, without losing everyone's style.

The first floor is where this small building is different from other places.In front is the living room. After turning a door, two rooms appear in front of you.The left side is very spacious, with a bath in the middle that can accommodate seven or eight people, while the right side is a little narrower.But I saw a few bamboo chairs inside, and a round stone in the middle.Only a few girls know that this room is called a sauna.Use fire to grill under the stone, and pipe the hot air around the room on one side, heat the stone on the other side, and then pour water on it to generate steam.In this way, the temperature of the room can be increased as in later generations to achieve the effect of sauna.

There is no kitchen in this small building. There are only two fire-burning rooms. One is for heating hot water, which is a little higher than the bathroom. Once the hot water is boiled, it can be directly poured in through the bamboo pipe.There is also a switch in the bathroom to control the size of the water.There is another place where the kang is burned, which is behind the sauna room.It can not only burn stones, but also transfer heat to each room through the channels extending in all directions.

The girls also woke up early, because today is the day when the third floor will be capped, and they also know that Xu Qing will not return.But there is another man in the family, isn't Xu Wen the one?The master is not here, the young master is in charge, the young master is too young, isn't the Lord of Jinshang County listening to the government behind the curtain?Xu Wen was made a great master just like that.

Just when everyone was getting ready, a carriage outside quietly entered.Usually, the Xu family doesn't open the door. If you want to come in, no matter if it's a carriage or a person, you will enter from the side door.

The door squeaked open, Xun Xueer and others looked over in confusion, thinking, today's topping ceremony, only a few people in the family are busy, no outsiders are invited, so who is here?

Seeing a woman with a veil coming in, Xun Xueer took a closer look, and couldn't help being frightened, it turned out to be Concubine Wan Gui.No wonder she came in without even knocking on the door, Xu's residence was considered her royal family.Xun Xueer and all the girls greeted them, and greeted them with various greetings. Concubine Wan Gui asked Xun Xueer and the others not to reveal their identities.Afterwards, Concubine Wan Gui also saw the newly built house by Xun Xueer and others, and she couldn't help but admire: "Xu Qing is not only blessed with beauty, but also got four virtuous helpers from you, to build such a tall building, she is really lucky, Who knows what he did in his last life?"

Xun Xueer and the other four girls all laughed, but they also secretly turned their heads to glance at Xu Qi, seeing that the little vinegar jar was not only about to be overturned, but also about to blow up, so they hurriedly got her away.Concubine Wan Gui, Xun Xueer and others gave the capping ceremony together. After a commotion, Xun Xueer brought Concubine Wan Gui to the inner room to talk.

"Concubine Wan Gui..."

"Hey, Xue'er, don't call me Concubine Wan Gui. In this boudoir, how about calling me sister?" After speaking, Concubine Wan Gui laughed by herself, thinking that Xu Qing's love for the other three wives would also fall. Feeling helpless, he also said to Shimei and the others: "It's the same with you, there are no outsiders in this room, just call me sister."

The four girls got up to salute, and called out sweetly: "Sister,"

Immediately, Concubine Wan Gui laughed again.

After taking a sip of tea, Concubine Wan Gui pondered for a while and said, "Actually, my sister is here this time, and I still have something to ask you..."

The girls were startled, Xun Xueer asked: "Sister, just ask if you have anything, we will tell you everything."

Concubine Wan Gui smiled again, lowered her voice, and said what happened last night: "...I just smelled a fragrance from Xu Qing's body, but I couldn't find the sachet after searching over and over again, so it was strange Ah, sisters, you are Xu Qing's bedside people, do you know the inside story of this matter?"

After hearing this, the four daughters covered their mouths and laughed, and Xun Xueer replied, "To tell you the truth, my family, Xu Lang, invented a new thing."

Concubine Wan Gui nodded vigorously and said: "Sister guessed it is the same, the monthly news that Xu Qing made last time, eh, don't say that sister used tut tut..." Concubine Wan Gui's voice became smaller and smaller , and the fourth daughter also got together, talked in a whisper, and led her to finish talking, and the four daughters couldn't help laughing.

Then, the few of them exchanged the experience of the new menstrual cloth in a low voice. They were obviously in the room and there was no one else, so they tried their best to suppress their voices and get together to talk.As if this way, it's more fun, and I'm not afraid of being heard.

But in the end, it still involved what Xu Qing developed.Xun Xueer glanced at Huang Shimei, Huang Shimei understood, and went to the room to find some soaps that the girls made by themselves in the past few days, and took a little of each fragrance.

After all, Xun Xueer is also a housewife. Although the five women are equal at home, when they go out, they still have to respect Xun Xueer as they should, and the same is true in front of outsiders.

Huang Shimei brought over five pieces of soap wrapped in floral paper, which were the floral fragrances chosen by the five girls.Concubine Wan Gui took it, although her eyes were still confused, but the bouncing of her nose told the truth that she smelled the strong fragrance.

After smelling them one by one, Concubine Wan Gui chose a milder soap, which was Xun Xueer's lotus scented soap.Tearing off the outer packaging, Concubine Wan Gui looked at the soap and asked, "Sisters, what is this thing called? How should I use it?"

Xun Xueer replied: "This thing is called soap, and the method of using it is the same as we usually use bath beans, just rub it on your body."

At this time, the door opened, and a little maid came in with a basin of hot water and a towel.Xun Xueer smiled and glanced at Huang Shimei, she knew that the servants Huang Shimei ordered by the way when she just went out had such a tacit understanding.

Then, Xun Xueer demonstrated the use of this soap to Concubine Wan Gui. Seeing the bubbles in Xun Xueer's hand in the room, Concubine Wan Gui covered her mouth in disbelief.It took me a long time to call out, this is comparable to a piece of bath beans!
After washing away the bubbles, smelling Xun Xueer's hands again, a faint but much stronger fragrance than soaking in water came, Concubine Wan Gui finally showed a face of satisfaction: I have lived most of my life, but fortunately, I am here When the charm is still there, I came across this soap.If after more than ten years, the old lady is old and wrinkled, it will be useless to attract bees and butterflies!
"Sister, um, is this thing valuable? Can you give me a few boxes, and my sister will exchange it for you with jewelry from the palace, how about it?"
