Chapter 101 Motherhood

"It's not just good, is it?" Zhong Xiu took the piece of brocade from his sister-in-law and said excitedly: "I originally thought that for ordinary people like us, it would be nothing more than weaving a few pieces of homemade cloth, but I didn't expect that my sister After here, hemp, silk satin, not to mention all kinds of cloth, you can dye them with your own hands. Now I want to weave brocade with you, oh my god, this... this was a year ago, I really dare not even think about it, good sister, please teach me this method, from now on I will weave every day and every night, and I will weave three for you in one day."

"You think it's weaving those homemade cloths, and you still need three pieces a day." Ruan Yunsi shook her head amusedly: "If the brocade is so easy to make, how can it be sold at such a high price? I have been weaving all afternoon, and there is only this small piece." If you really want to weave brocade, I'm afraid it's good to be able to weave half a piece a day. If the pattern is more complicated, you can't even weave half a piece. Okay, okay, I'm just experimenting now, and I will naturally teach it when the time comes. Did the person who gave you this skill only let you cook rice worms and eat plain rice? Don’t be in a hurry right now, let’s cook first, we will talk about brocade weaving tomorrow.”

Although Zhong Xiu and Bi Qiu felt itchy and just wanted to weave a piece of brocade right now, they also knew that they couldn't eat a fat man in one bite.Because I had to go out, but I still couldn't hide my excitement.

Yun Niang excitedly fished out a big carp from the bucket, threw it on the chopping board, the fish jumped twice and stopped moving, she took out a knife, skillfully cut open the belly of the carp, and took out all the fish inside When she came out, she was working hard, when she heard a sharp scream, which scared her so much that she almost dropped the knife.

"Xiaolu, you brat, what's your name? It scared me a lot." When she saw the screaming person, Yunniang couldn't help but cast an annoyed look: "It's not to clean you up, look at the one you called Scary."

"You killed my fish, you killed my fish."

Xiaolu rushed forward, hugged Yunniang's thigh, and pushed her angrily, yelling like an angry little wolf.

"Hey, when did this become your fish?" Yun Niang didn't pay much attention to his strength, she couldn't help being very funny when she heard his words, she scraped the fish scales and said with a smile: "This is my Brother Nan How come the fish caught by my son is yours? So what if it is yours? Do you want to raise it if you don't eat it?"

"I just want to keep it, I want to keep it. My family used to keep fish in the pond." Xiaolu looked at Yunniang angrily, fighting for the right to live for "his fish". This kid completely forgot to take it at home. It's about going to the pond with a fishing rod to catch those precious goldfish. If the goldfish in the pond in the mansion know that the little magic star who has harmed so many of their kind will one day overflow with sympathy, I don't know what they will think.

"That's your house." Yunniang rolled her eyes, her hands kept moving, and she said, "Your house has a pond, but mine doesn't."

Xiaolu looked at the front yard and the back yard, and there was indeed no pond. "Qi Yan" couldn't help being short for a while, pouted and said: "There is no pond, just...just dig one, anyway, it's not troublesome, it's okay Grow lotus root and lotus. The sliced ​​lotus root is delicious.”

Yunniang laughed and said: "Listen, we are really the children of a rich family. Do you think we are also a rich official family like yours? Did you dig the pond just because you said it? We dug it just to eat lotus roots and see lotus flowers. We How can the country people have such thoughts?" After speaking, Zhong Xiu and Bi Qiu covered their mouths and started laughing.

Ruan Yunsi saw that Xiaolu's face turned pale with anger, and her big eyes glared fiercely at Yunniang. Tears rolled in her eyes, but she refused to fall.She thought it was funny, so she hurried forward to pick up Xiaolu, and said to Yunniang, "Okay, why bother to anger him? It's your fault, in front of the children, just like this The frisky fish was killed, so it's no wonder that he felt uncomfortable. Well, I see that Brother Nan caught a lot of fish today. Don't we have several large water tanks in our yard? Pick one to make a fish tank and put a few fish in it Go in, put these shrimps in there too."

Xiaolu's eyes lit up immediately, and she put her arms around Ruan Yunsi's neck and kissed her face several times, then shouted: "Okay, okay, I love my sister the most, and it's my sister who treats me the most." Best, I want to raise fish and I want to raise shrimp."

Yun Niang smiled and said: "This also makes you pick a few, you can't raise all these fish and shrimp? There are more than a dozen here."

Ruan Yunsi also raised red carp in modern times, so she picked out a few males and females and put them into the tank together, and then put in the dozen or so white shrimps of different sizes. The water in the tank was full Yes, a lot of it was scooped out at this moment, only more than half was left, otherwise the shrimp would pop out.

There are still a few fish left in the bucket, which are wild vegetable fish soup and grilled fish sauce for Yunniang to clean up at night.Ruan Yunsi was afraid that Xiaolu would feel sad when she saw it, so she carried him outside and let him look at the fish in the tank.After hugging you for a while, she couldn't take it anymore, and said to Xiaolu: "Don't keep watching, my sister can't hold you, come down and play for a while."

Children can't hide their worries, so little green has these few fish and shrimps in the tank, so she doesn't care about the life and death of those fish in the kitchen, and plays happily in the yard. When I entered the house, the suit was covered with mud and dust.

"You little thing, why are you acting like a mud monkey? How can you change your clothes at home now?" Seeing the mud on Xiaolu's body, Yunniang couldn't help being anxious and angry, but she saw him giggling and said: "It's none of my business. Rhubarb jumped on me, and it still licked me. Hehe, Rhubarb likes me very much, and I like rhubarb too."

Ruan Yunsi hurriedly said: "Forget it, children must be playful. Xiaolu is still young, and clothes are not difficult to make. Our family is weaving and dyeing cloth. We have plenty of fabric. Pick a few pieces at night and buy him two sets of clothes." Change and wear first, the weather is getting warmer, so you don’t need to make cotton clothes, which saves trouble.”

Yunniang has no children, and actually loves Xiaolu very much, so she didn't say much after hearing this.So after dinner, Ruan Yunsi picked out a few pieces of silk satin to make clothes for Xiaolu, but she heard Yuniang say: "We country children, what are you doing wearing silk and satin? It would be boring to go out, and there are linen and Gebu at home. Just make a few sets for him."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "That's not what I said. These few pieces of material will be used to make him close-fitting clothes. A child's skin is delicate, and Xiaolu is from a wealthy family. I'm afraid he won't feel comfortable making Gebu linen. The outer unlined clothes will be made of Gebu linen." Wouldn't it be nice to do it?"

Yunniang thought for a while, then nodded and smiled, "It's better if you think carefully, let's do it this way." After she finished speaking, she went to pick out a few pieces of hemp material, so the four women got busy.

At that time, making clothes was the most basic skill of a woman, just like eating and dressing. It was almost an instinct. Even Yun Niang was not very good at weaving, but she was really skilled in making clothes.

After Zhong Nan bathed Xiaolu, he stuffed his bare buttocks into the bed and lay down. The little guy was in the bed, watching some women on the kang sew new clothes for him. Luo silk satin was really far behind, but when he looked at it quietly, he felt that these clothes were warmer than those beautiful clothes he had at home.

At the moment, Ruan Yunsi is thinking about when she can find a way to "invent" cotton cloth. There are very few cotton growers in the Great Wu Kingdom, and the varieties are not good. The limited cotton is used to make cotton wool. Rich people like to use furs, so these low-quality cotton are used by the common people, and occasionally a little high-grade cotton will appear in the homes of some wealthy people.

Ruan Yunsi only knows weaving and dyeing but not planting, but she also has a general understanding of some methods of improving cotton varieties. Once this thing can be planted in a large area, according to her idea, she is confident that good cotton can be produced, although it is impossible to produce good cotton. Compared with the very good long-staple cotton in modern times, it will definitely be a blockbuster in this era. Cotton has a wide range of uses, and cotton cloth is also the most comfortable fabric. Once it is successfully planted, it will definitely be popularized. Cotton cloth replaced Gebu and linen in this era.

Because I was engrossed in thinking, I might as well let the needle prick my finger.Xiaolu quickly got out of the bed, held Ruan Yunsi's fingers and blew vigorously, blowing that small drop of blood into a thin blood line.

Ruan Yunsi's heart warmed up, but she said with a smile on her face: "Okay, it's just a prick, what's the matter? Don't be so nervous, go back to the bed quickly, and be careful of catching a cold." I slapped him and drove him back to the bed, thinking with some emotion: No wonder everyone wants a child, it's really good to have a little guy who cares about him.Since I don't want to remarry in my whole life, maybe I should adopt two children, um, let's see the fate, if I really meet a predestined child, I will adopt it.well!It's a pity that it is absolutely impossible for Xiaolu to live here for a long time.Always return him to his family, such a precious egg is lost, the family does not know how anxious it is. "

After working in the middle of the night, with the concerted efforts of the four women, they managed to make two sets of clothes for Xiaolu, including a jacket, which was worn at this time.Xiaolu was already sound asleep at this moment, and fortunately he took a nap in the afternoon, so he insisted on not going to sleep until Haishi.Several people quietly compared his naked body, and felt that the size of the clothes was suitable for both fat and thin, so they fell asleep satisfied.

Because I stayed up late, I woke up a little late the next day.Ruan Yunsi said anxiously while folding the quilt: "Hurry up and pack it up, brother Zhang will bring the materials over today, don't be blocked by others, it would be really embarrassing."

Zhong Xiu was cooking in the kitchen, while Bi Qiu had just washed her face and was combing her hair in front of the mirror, saying, "Girl, so our mansion is about to start construction, right?"
