Chapter 90 Wool and Lanolin

Song Yaxin and Song Yuxi gathered in Song Qingyue's house to do embroidery work together.

The three of them have all been taught by Madam Qin, but none of them care about the affair of the boudoir girl, so they can only be regarded as passable.

These people all prefer to manage money and do business.

However, the rules were loose when they were in Guangzhou, and they often came in and out without anyone saying anything. Now that they have come to the capital, they have to behave themselves. In addition, there have been no banquets recently, so they only do needlework when they are bored. The two brothers

It was time to go to the examination room in a few days, and the three of them decided to do something together for their two brothers.

The climate in Beijing is cold, and the weather in April is not much warmer than the coldest period in Guangzhou. Song Yaxin is making knee pads, Song Yuxi is making sleeves, Song Qingyue is holding a canvas in her hand and wants to make a waterproof schoolbag for her two brothers, but she suddenly thinks of a sweater

Come.

There are hundreds of sheep on Zhuangzi. Can they be shaved and made into wool for knitting sweaters? She has learned the simplest stitches from her grandmother before. As long as they can be made into wool, it should be feasible!

Anyway, she hasn't come up with any new business for a long time, so she can give it a try!

So she mentioned this matter to her father to see if she could go to the Ministry of Industry and borrow some people who knew how to spin cotton thread to study how to spin the shaved wool into wool thread.

When Mr. Song heard that the third girl had a new idea, he must give his full support!

Within two days, they borrowed two craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry who knew how to make cotton spinning machines, and followed Song Qingyue to Zhuangzi to have a look. Seeing that Song Qingyue was trying to make something new, Song Yaxin and Song Yuxi couldn't sit still at home.

They all followed Zhuangzi to watch.

Everyone started to figure out how to shear sheep, and then came to wash the sheep. The muddy and dirty water left after washing the sheep was not allowed to be thrown away by Song Qingyue. She suddenly thought of lanolin again, so she went back to the capital to ask for it.

Master Song will find two more ladies for her who can make moisturizing cream.

She heard that the current moisturizers are made of lard, boiled with alum, filtered, and spices are added, but no matter how much you toss it, it is still lard! So Song Qingyue thought about putting lard on her face.

For wiping, it’s not as good as lanolin!

The three sisters have been busy working on Zhuangzi for more than a month. Not to mention making knee pads and sleeves for their brothers, they even forgot about such important days as passing the exams. Liang was scolded for not doing so.

When the three of them hurried home from Zhuangzi, Song Chenhai and Song Chenxu were already sitting in the examination room. The three sisters had not received their things and were nowhere to be seen. They couldn't help complaining: "Three little heartless little ones!"

As the eldest sister, Song Yaxin said with a guilty conscience: "Since we can't give it away anymore, why don't I, the second sister, and the third sister go back to the village to get those wool threads and wool ointment."

Mrs. Liang glared at her, and Song Yaxin pouted and said coquettishly: "Mom, the presence or absence of our three sisters cannot influence whether our brothers do well in the exam."

Mr. Song couldn't stand listening and scolded: "Then you must also do your part! Duke Wei's Mansion, Prince Su's Mansion, and Princess Duanyi's Mansion all sent their wishes to you two brothers before the exam. How about you guys?

Is it ridiculous that my sister ran away without a trace? Whether it was of any use is one thing, but whether her heart is gone is another thing! You are acting so arbitrarily in your mother's family now. When you get married in the future, you must not be accused of being unruly by your husband's family.

No rules!"

Song Yaxin lowered her lips and complained: "Dad is really partial. You did whatever the third sister wanted in the past. But this time the second sister and I are together, you say we have no rules!"

"Have you learned how to talk back now?" Mr. Song was so angry that he tugged at his beard and accidentally pulled off several strands. He glanced at Song Qingyue and his tone softened unconsciously, "Well, Yue'er, you

Before brothers release the results, just stay at home, this..."

"Dad, my daughter has realized her mistake!" Song Qingyue was obedient. She glanced at her eldest sister. Song Yaxin glared at her. She stuck out her tongue at her sister, smiled beggingly, and continued to say to Mr. Song: "How many of us sisters have been there these days?

Follow my mother and burn incense in this mansion for my brothers to worship Confucius, uh, Sanqing, or Guanyin, with all my heart! What do you think, dad?"

"Well, that's pretty much it." Mr. Song was always satisfied with his third daughter's obedience.

The general examination usually consists of three consecutive exams, each lasting three days, making a total of nine days.

Mrs. Liang led the girls and boys in the mansion to burn incense for nine days. The statues of Confucius, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasties were hung side by side and worshiped three times a day.

During this period, Li Zhao sent someone to bring a box of soothing tea. He said that he was worried that the elders in the Song Dynasty would be too worried and unable to sleep well these days, so he specially asked the palace doctor to distribute it. Of course, there were several boxes attached.

A "gadget" for Song Qingyue.

For this reason, several sisters in the house ran to Song Qingyue's house to see what gadgets they were. Song Qingyue saw several boxes and thought they were some kind of hairpin jewelry. She could give some to the sisters. The two sisters above must not be.

She is jealous of her things. The youngest Baojuan is only three years old and likes to eat sweets.

The most troublesome one is actually Song Qianqian. Now she is eleven years old, which is when she is sensitive and vain. After the three sisters all got married to the best families, she became extremely anxious and wanted to do anything.

The first three sisters compare.
