Tang Qingluan and the three of them were divided into three places and stayed with their respective maids.
Among the people that Nanny Xu brought out from the capital, there were four noble ladies serving as maids, eight rough servants, and eight women.
They said they were palace maids, but in fact they were just covering up their names.
In terms of quantity, each noble girl is equipped with two maids and two women to serve her.
However, because Wan Youyou is not gregarious, in the eyes of others, she is not qualified to share the maid and wife with a real noble lady.
That's why her maid was divided between Cao Jing and Jiang Wanru, and she ended up with abdominal pain halfway through and had to find a place to go to the toilet alone.
When these noble girls came to the tribe, all they needed was to win people's hearts with their own abilities. Naturally, Nanny Xu pretended not to see this.
As the saying goes, three women are performing a play, with the maids advising and making suggestions, and the ladies also have ideas, so much so that they don't even know that Wan Youyou has not come back.
Next to the white tent where the newlyweds lived, a wooden house was now built. Song Liyun and Lady Yun were hanging cloth sheets on the wooden rack inside.
The wooden frame and a few dried sheets need to be put away.
Madam Yun straightened out the wrinkles on the wet sheets and said to Song Liyun: "Girl, I have to tell you that when the young master is hot-tempered and angry, you can't just let him have his way."
Song Liyun was unusually shy: "I know, now...don't you wash yourself less?"
The bedding sheet that was changed on the wedding night was taken out in the afternoon after Mrs. Yun pressed me.
The tribe can adapt to everything, but it is inconvenient to dry clothes, not to mention the sheets that need to be changed every day.
There was no courtyard wall, and no matter how generous and thick-skinned Song Liyun was, he would be embarrassed to expose his privacy.
Madam Yun is someone who has lived here for many years. She has lived with the Song brothers and sisters for a long time, and she has long regarded Song Liyun as her own daughter.
She asked Song Liyun to build another house with wooden walls, without a roof.
I usually boil water for washing in the house, and I can also dry the clothes directly inside, so I don't have to worry about anyone seeing me.
This method solved Song Liyun's problem at once, and now this room is her dedicated laundry room.
But her sexual relationship with Zhao Tingduo could not be hidden from Madam Yun, so she had to complain that Zhao Tingduo was not considerate enough and wasted the girl's energy.
Song Liyun is also hard to explain.
As a newlywed, Zhao Tingduo is "competent" and attractive to men, and he is also addicted to them and cannot extricate himself.
But she couldn't bear Mrs. Yun's nagging, so she could only discuss with Zhao Tingduo to control it appropriately.
The two of them were talking privately inside, when someone knocked on the door, and Yuquan said loudly: "Young madam, the young master is back, and he brought a maid with him!"
Madam Yun let out a light sigh, her face suddenly turned bad: "What are these coquettish maids going to do, to be attached to the young master so soon?"
During this period of time, the young lady has never let these "handmaids" come near to serve her, and the young master has never mentioned why she brought people back.
Song Liyun looked calm, and before she said anything, Lady Yun continued: "Girl, don't worry, you and my uncle have only been married for less than a month, and you will definitely not take a concubine.
Xiao Shitou has been following my uncle these days. If any woman dares to cause trouble, he will tell her right away."
Xiao Shitou is no longer a slave, but follows others to train in horseback riding and archery.
Song Liyun prepared separate tents for him and Lady Yun. They could each do their own work during the day, and mother and son could talk at night.
Come to think of it, Xiao Shitou had already received Madam Yun's order to act as Song Liyun's eyes.
Song Liyun laughed: "Auntie, I'm not worried about Ah Shi.
It's just that these noble girls are all talented girls. If they really stay in the tribe to comb wool, it would be a waste, so let's wait and see what happens first!"
When she entered the white tent, she saw Wan Youyou standing upright by the door and Yuquan kneeling on the small charcoal stove burning tea.
"Yuquan, where is your young master?" Song Liyun came in and changed into soft shoes.
Yuquan trotted over and pointed behind the tent: "Young Master is changing clothes."
Zhao Tingduo doesn't want anyone to wait on him. In the past, only Yuquan occasionally helped with cleaning. Now that Lady Yun is here, he has to go into the inner tent to change clothes.
Song Liyun nodded, sat by the charcoal stove, and waved to Wan Youyou: "Miss Wan, come here for tea!"
Wan Youyou bowed, took off her shoes, stepped onto the carpet and walked to Song Liyun, and also knelt down.
Although she is a maid at this time, she was originally a lady.
She was not as humble as a maid, but she sat with her back straight, her manners were generous and decent, and she passed the Yuquan and handed her the tea cup. She was not surprised or humbled, and she took a serious sip.
Song Liyun didn't say anything, just looked at Wan Youyou with a smile.
At this time, Zhao Tingduo had already changed out of his riding clothes, tied a headband on his forehead, spread his hair, and came out wearing a moon-white cotton robe.
Yuquan quickly poured him another cup of milk tea. Zhao Tingduo sat down and looked at Wan Youyou and said, "Tell me about the double-thread hammer you made, and let the young lady hear it and see if it's feasible!"
Wan Youyou then put down the tea bowl and took out two string hammers from her arms.
She had already told Zhao Tingduo once in the spinning tent, and now she told Song Liyun how she wanted to improve the thread hammer!
Listening to Wan Youyou's words, Song Liyun had no expression on his face, but he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and his heart blossomed with joy.
There are many ways to spin yarn.
There are large-scale spinning machines and simple spinning machines. In addition, the thread hammer that only needs one hand to operate and can twist the thread while walking is the most commonly used by herdsmen.
They usually use the thread hammer they carry with them to twist wool threads while grazing, which is used in daily life.
It's just that the threads spun by this method are uneven in thickness, and the quality is not as good as that of a spinning machine, but the operation is much more convenient than a spinning machine that requires carding in advance.
Now Wan Youyou wants to change the thread hammer operated by one person with one hand to two rotating hammers, so that two strands of thread can be twisted.
According to her, it is theoretically possible. The quality is certainly not as good as that of spinning machines, but the output will double.
After all, Wan Youyou is not an expert in this field, it is full of loopholes, and the power to continuously rotate the line hammer is barely adequate.
But from Song Liyun's point of view, regardless of whether Wan Youyou's idea can be realized or not, it is impressive that she can take the initiative to think of it.
This is what Song Liyun unexpectedly and expected.
After Wan Youyou finished speaking, she looked at Song Liyun without saying a word. Although her expression was calm, her clasped hands on the side of her robe revealed her nervousness.
She didn't know much about Song Liyun. She only heard from Abu that the young lady was a smart and gentle person, very easy to get along with, and most interested in making new things.
They have been in the tribe for almost a month and have no worries about eating and drinking here.
The four of them are nominally palace maids, but Song Liyun and Mrs. Wu Ya have never really used them. Aunt Xu asked them to comb the wool.
The three of them were still secretly happy that they could continue to live a pampered life, but Wan Youyou felt nervous.
