Chapter 90 Wool and Lanolin
Song Yaxin and Song Yuxi gathered in Song Qingyue's room to do embroidery together.

The three of them had all been taught by Mrs. Qin, but none of the three cared about the boudoir girl's affairs, so they were all passable.

These few all prefer housekeeping and financial management to do business.

But when they were in Guangzhou, the rules were loose, and they often went in and out without anyone saying anything. Now that they came to the capital, they had to behave themselves. In addition, there were no banquets recently, and they were really bored before doing needlework.The two elder brothers will be going to the examination room in a few days, and the three of them decided to do something together for the two elder brothers.

The weather in the capital is cold, and the weather in April is not much warmer than the coldest time in Guangzhou.Song Yaxin was making knee pads, Song Yuxi was making sleeve covers, and Song Qingyue was holding a canvas in her hand and wanted to make a waterproof schoolbag for her two brothers, but she suddenly thought of a sweater.

There are hundreds of sheep on Zhuangzi, can they be shaved and made into woolen sweaters?She had learned the simplest stitch method from her grandmother before, as long as it can be made into wool, it should be feasible!
Anyway, she hasn't come up with a new job for a long time, so she can give it a try!

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

When Mr. Song heard that Sanya had a new idea, he must fully support it!
Within two days, I borrowed two craftsmen who knew how to make cotton spinning machines from the Ministry of Industry, and followed Song Qingyue to Zhuangzi to have a look.Seeing that Song Qingyue was going to make something new again, Song Yaxin and Song Yuxi couldn't sit still at home, and they all followed to Zhuangzi to watch.

Everyone began to explore how to shear the wool, and then washed the wool. Song Qingyue refused to let the muddy and dirty water left over from washing the wool be thrown away. She suddenly remembered sheep oil, so she went back to the capital again and asked for Mr. Song will find her two ladies who can make moisturizing cream.

She heard that the body lotion at this stage is boiled and filtered with lard and alum, and then spices are added, but no matter how hard you try, it is still lard!So Song Qingyue thought that instead of rubbing lard on her face, it would be better to use sheep oil!

The three sisters have been busy working on Zhuangzi for more than a month, not to mention making knee pads and sleeve sleeves for the brothers, and even forgetting the big day such as the meeting and exam, and it's hard for Mrs. Liang to scold them.

When the three hurried home from Zhuangzi, Song Chenhai and Song Chenxu had already sat in the examination room.The three sisters didn't receive their things, and they couldn't even see anyone, so they couldn't help complaining: "Three little heartless!"

As the eldest sister, Song Yaxin said with a guilty conscience: "Since we can't deliver, why don't I go back to Zhuangzi with the second and third sisters and continue to get those woolen threads and wool ointment."

Mrs. Liang glared at her, and Song Yaxin pouted and said coquettishly: "Mother, whether the three of us sisters are here or not, we can't decide whether the brothers do well in the exam."

Mr. Song couldn't listen anymore, and reprimanded: "Then you have to do your part too! People Wei Guogong's mansion, Su Prince's mansion, and Duanyi Changgong Princess' mansion all sent their hearts before your two elder brothers' exams. My sister ran away without a trace, is it plausible? It is one thing to be useful, but it is another thing to have no intentions! You are acting recklessly in your natal family now, and you will not be accused by your in-laws when you marry No problem!"

Song Yaxin hung her mouth down and complained: "Daddy is really eccentric, you can do whatever the third sister wants before, but this time I am with the second sister, so you say we have no rules!"

"You have learned how to talk back now?" Mr. Song was so angry that he tugged at his beard. When he didn't pay attention, he pulled off several strands. He glanced at Song Qingyue, and his tone softened unconsciously, "This, Yue'er, you Brothers, before the rankings are released, just stay at home, this..."

"Daddy, my daughter knows she's wrong!" Song Qingyue was well-behaved. She glanced at her elder sister. Song Yaxin glared at her. She stuck out her tongue at her elder sister, smiled beggingly, and continued to say to Mr. Song: "How many of our sisters I follow my mother to burn incense and worship Confucius for my brothers in this mansion, uh, Sanqing also worships, or Guanyin also worships, with all my heart! What does Daddy think?"

"Well, that's about the same." Mr. Song was always satisfied with the obedience of the third girl.

There are usually three exams in a row, and each exam is three days, a total of nine days.

Mrs. Liang brought the girls and princes in the mansion to burn high incense for nine days. The images of Confucius, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and the ancestors of Sanqing were hung side by side to worship, three times a day.

During the period, Li Zhao sent someone to bring a box of Anshen Tea, saying that he was afraid that the elders in the Song Mansion would worry too much and not sleep well these days, so he specially asked the imperial doctor in the palace to send it over. Of course, there were several boxes of it A "little gadget" for Song Qingyue.

For this reason, several sisters in the mansion ran to Song Qingyue's room to see what kind of gadgets there were. Song Qingyue saw several boxes and thought it was some hairpin jewelry. She could also give the sisters a point. Something that makes her jealous, the youngest Baojuan is only three years old, and she likes sweets.

The most troublesome thing is actually Song Qianqian, who is 11 years old now, which is the time when she is sensitive and vain.After the three older sisters got married with the best families, she became very restless in her heart, wanting to compare herself with the first three older sisters in everything.
