After Mei Mei and Mei You chatted for a while, Wei Meili came back holding two pieces of Gebu.
Mayberry saw that the joy on her brows had not faded away when her mother entered the kitchen, and she was in a very good mood.
"Mom, what good thing happened?"
Mayberry brought a glass of honeysuckle water to her mother and asked her to sit down and share it.
"Nothing, I just went to see a play at Widow Chen's house today." After taking a sip of hot honeysuckle tea, Wei Meili said with a smile, "Aunt Wu's house next door has been busy these past two days, and it was still there when I left. "
"Did it happen yesterday?"
Meiyou's heart moved. She had already heard a lot of excitement from Meiberry, so she naturally wanted to know about the follow-up matter.
"Wow, there's a follow-up so soon?" Mayberry was also shocked, "It's so fast."
"Lilac, I'm pregnant." Wei Meili smiled and said, "When I went to get the cloth in the morning, Widow Chen told me that the Wu family was in a row yesterday, and this incident was the trigger."
"I heard that yesterday, when the eldest daughter-in-law of the third Wu family returned home, she teamed up with the other two sisters-in-law to ask for an explanation from her mother-in-law.
I asked Ding Xiang how to deal with such an affair. They are all daughters-in-law. They are busy these days, and Ding Xiang has the least work to do.
As a result, Doctor Barefoot came over at this time and found that Ding Xiang was pregnant.
It was clear that Ding Xiang was pregnant, but her mother-in-law insisted that she had doubts before, so Ding Xiang was forced to work less and suppressed the dissatisfaction of the three older daughters-in-law. "
"Ah, so biased."
After listening to this, Mei Mei subconsciously felt that Ding Xiang's mother-in-law was really partial to the creaking nest.
"It was obviously Ding Xiang's fault, but she just opened it because she was pregnant?"
"Perhaps, even if she is not pregnant, her mother-in-law will not do anything to Lilac."
Mei You also thought a little more. The situation of the Wu San family is actually a bit like the old Mei family. Because of their preference, no matter what the other party does, they will tolerate it without any bottom line.
"Yes, but the wives of the other three wives are not soft buns."
Wei Meili said as if she was watching a good show: "Widow Chen told me this morning that it's no wonder that the other three rooms in Wu's family have always disliked Ding Xiang. It would be the same if it were her.
In the past, the three-bedroom wives and mothers-in-law treated each other equally, and everyone shared the good and the bad, so the discord between the third-bedroom sisters-in-law was naturally less.
But Ding Xiang was different. As the youngest daughter-in-law, Ding Xiang was even two months younger than Third Aunt Wu's granddaughter-in-law. Third Aunt Wu's preference was visible to everyone. "
"However, Third Aunt Wu miscalculated this time. She and her three daughters-in-law were extremely tough this time, so she directly suggested that we just make arrangements for the separation of the family first."
Widow Chen originally wanted to come to her mother-in-law's house yesterday to seek justice, but the old Wu family locked their doors and started arguing.
Just weaving and eavesdropping on the ghostly activity next door was enough to keep Widow Chen laughing for several days.
This morning when Wei Meili went to get the cloth, the atmosphere next door was still very bad. Then Wei Meili bumped into the village chief who came to witness the separation of the family.
"Oh, you haven't seen the village chief's stinky face. It's so bad! It's even uglier than when we separated~"
Wei Meili thought that when she and Widow Chen were peeking under the big tree in front of Liu's house and looking next door, they were caught by the village chief who happened to arrive.
As a result, the village chief probably felt that he could not save his face, so he was so angry that he immediately rushed into Wu San's yard with a flick of his sleeves.
After that, although Wei Meili and the others couldn't come up to inquire carefully, they listened from a distance as if they had entered someone's duck farm.
The village chief's usually gentle tone of voice was quite abrupt amid the noisy "quacking, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack" noises.
No one listens even if it's abrupt.
Wei Meili heard the village chief say, "Didn't I say..."
Then a bunch of "Village chief (eldest brother) (uncle), listen to us, quack quack"
After a while, it was the village chief again: "Enough is enough, listen to me, even if you want to..."
Immediately afterwards there was another quarrel of "quack quack quack". The village chief's words were not drowned in the quarrel, but the village chief's situation was also considered "worrying".
Wei Meili laughed while talking, and Mei Berry couldn't hold it back. The scene was very funny when she thought about it.
Mei You took a sip of tea while listening and lowered his head to hide his smile.
"By the way, are you ready with the soap?"
After being back for so long, while chatting, Wei Meili first remembered the earthen soap made by Mei Bei and the others.
Thinking of this, everyone hurriedly checked the earthen soap in the mold. The soap that was first poured into the mold was actually ready.
The moment Meiyu took it out and poured the soap out of the mold, Meiyu's clock-in system also made a sound——
[Congratulations to the host for successfully checking into the famous scene "Mei You successfully made earthen soap". The reward is goat milk soap formula × 1 and floral essential oil soap formula × 1. They have been placed in the system space. Please check the host in time. 】
"Ah, is this earthy soap?"
To be honest, Mayberry doesn't really associate it with modern soaps.
Everyone looked at the oval gray solid, and the surface was not very oily and delicate. Even with the mold, it still looked rough.
"Um."
Mei You nodded, but looking at her expression, it seemed that she was not very satisfied with how this soap turned out.
“Let’s experience the feeling of using it first.”
Wei Meili is actually very interested in this earthen soap. Some of the soaps she used when she was a child are very similar to this.
Mei Mei and Mei You naturally handed the soap to Wei Meili, and then Mei Mei saw her mother wash the square towels they had used for bathing in the past few days.
Because Mei Berry and Mei You had been watching from the side, when she heard Wei Meili comment that this earthen soap was very effective in removing stains and oil, Mei Berry quickly felt that something was not right about this content:
"Look at my two big mud monkeys. They don't know what to do every day. They take a bath, and this oil and ash stick to the towel. Ouch~ If they can dry rub, they can rub mud, right?"
Mayberry: "..."
There is no need to say this directly!
"Making laundry soap is really good."
After watching Wei Meili wash several large towels and hang them to dry, Mei You touched them with her hands and sniffed them.
"It's just that the smell is somewhat unpleasant."
After Mei You finished speaking, Wei Meili reached out his hand again and said: "Not only that, it hurts the hands quite a lot. After washing, the hands are quite dry. This can only be used for washing clothes, washing hands and faces, and that is absolutely not possible." "
Wei Meili's words actually involve another aspect.
"Youyou, after making this soap, have you ever thought about how much it can sell for? Also, what groups of customers are you targeting?"
***
Jinbai County, Xie Mansion.
"Your pulse condition is much better. If you continue to cultivate yourself like this, you won't be in a hurry to return to the capital after the Dragon Boat Festival."
Mr. Xue took his pulse, then looked at Xie Changxu lying on the bed with a pale and tired face, and sighed heavily.
"I didn't even sigh. Why are you sighing?"
Hearing Xie Changzhen's words, Mr. Xue raised his eyes and glared, and said: "I'm sighing, if you keep torturing your body like this, where can I get you a thousand-year-old ginseng in this remote country? I've spent half of it. I have five hundred taels, you boy, please remember to ask A to bring me the silver the next time he comes over."
"Well, I've spent a lot of money on you. A will come back from the south in a while and will bring you some new medicines from Miao territory for you to study."
As soon as he heard about the new medicine, Mr. Xue stopped sighing and immediately became energetic, laughing from ear to ear:
"That's okay, that's okay. Anyway, I've blended this ginseng with the medicine you usually take. You should take good medicine and cultivate yourself, and think less during this time.
From now on, there will be a group of jackals, tigers and leopards waiting for you when you return to the Imperial Capital! If you come back to Lihu Town with me in the next few days, it's best if you take medicine and other things right under my nose. "
He agreed with Mr. Xue's request and stopped looking at Mr. Xue.
The window next to the bed was opened for ventilation, and the gentle breeze blew the fragrance of the gardenias blooming in the courtyard into the house.
The strong floral fragrance was accompanied by a little bit of bitterness. Xie Changxuan lowered his eyes and stared at the crow-green stone slabs. He didn't pay attention until Mr. Xue left.
After a while, he stood up and stood at the window, looking at the snow-like gardenias outside, and said slowly: "Come here, tell Jiasan and the others to leave for Hanxian Mansion in Xianyao Prefecture immediately after they recover from their injuries..."
The weather is so hot. I was woken up by the heat in the morning. When I went to bed, I basically didn’t turn on the electric fan or air conditioner (I couldn’t sleep if I turned it on). Then there is a kind of person whose spirit has been sluggish due to the heat, and his thoughts are fragmented...
