Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 275 Two is right there

After Shen Quan left, Zhu Yuan did not return to the inner house, but came to the low couch near the window in the warm pavilion in the innermost room of the west room, and asked He Xuan to fetch the visitor list for the past few days to see if there was anyone who needed to be seen, and at the same time ordered to search for Gauze, cotton, charcoal, leather, etc., and a few girls who can sew.

All kinds of things are delivered in advance.

Soon, there was another group of girls, led by Luoshui, Cheng Shanshan, Lu Shuishui, Liangqiu Liuniang and so on, a total of six.

Zhu Yuan has already read the list of visitors in the past few days, and ordered some of them, such as several maritime merchants from the southeast, such as some servants of the officials of the Yinghai Division who specially sent them to Beijing to give New Year gifts, and planned to smoke them in the next few days. See you in time.

The main thing is to understand some coastal related matters.

Although these things have been followed up, we can definitely get different angles and information from different people.

In addition, there is a bookmaker's gift list.

Although it doesn’t have the heroic spirit of giving Zhuang Liuniang “Tiji” last time, it started with 5 taels of silver, but it is not easy. people shocked.

He Xuan specifically mentioned, a set of books, a whole carriage.

Adding in other calligraphy and painting, cloth, local products, etc., the total value must be more than ten thousand taels of silver.

And that's not all.

There is also a girl, the dealer's 22 mothers, and the 20 servants who are matched with her.

Thinking about the number of servants inside and outside the mansion, Lao Zhu rewarded dozens or even hundreds of servants at every turn. Zhu Yuan didn't have much temper for this, and said casually: "There are 20 more mouths, there is no room at home. ..."

Xieyi sat on the outside next to her lord, looked at the gift list together, and said: "My lord, if you have some, if you keep them, you can use them on other islands, workshops, and new houses in the city."

Zhu Yuan smiled and clicked on a certain name: "These... are similar to dowry?"

Sending the maids and servants who are married to other girls to other places, it seems... not very good?

"It's considered a dowry there, but the dealer gave you a beautiful girl. If you don't like it, you can send them to work in the workshop together." Luo Shui said, rubbing the hem of his skirt, and feeling: "My lord It's just great."

Zhu Yuan glanced at the woman beside him: "Why don't I treat you a little worse?"

Luo Shui nodded his head, with a rare coquettish expression: "If not, let's do it tonight, my lord, you will be worse and bully this slave to death..."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

Where did you learn this?

He laughed again: "Did it hit something? Wasn't my Luoshui like this before?"

"Your lord wants to be a slave, so be a slave." Luo Shui's eyes were full of waves, and he whispered, "Father..."

"Stop..." Zhu Yuan quickly interrupted, and he also reacted: "I probably understand, but... next month, wait for next month."

A look of joy flashed across Luo Shui's eyes, Xiaoxiao followed the stick up: "Father, how about just the day of Sister Qingqiu, the [-]st of the first lunar month... how about it?"

"it is good."

Luo Shui grabbed his lord's little hand and stuck it on his smooth face: "That's it, I will remember."

"uh-huh."

Feeling in my heart, the girl like water occasionally gets up as a fairy, and the lethality is so great.

Luo Shui didn't finish yet, and gestured to the hem of his skirt: "Father... I'm wearing a horse face skirt today."

Zhu Yuan looked down and found out.

This is a pale pink horse face skirt.

Looking at Liangqiu Liuniang on the right, it turned out to be the same, aqua blue.

Look up to the opposite side.

Among the four, there are actually two horse-faced skirts.

Zhu Yuan instantly felt full of 'right to speak'.

as well as……

So messed up.

Are there no secrets in the inner house?

So he hit Luo Shui: "Pale pink is not good-looking, horse-faced skirts look good only if they are dark-colored, such as Liangqiu's, and the waist should be tied up..."

On the opposite side of the square table, Cheng Shanshan didn't wear a horse-faced skirt today, and only then did he discover this little secret, and then he heard Luo Shui calling "Dad" who was obviously the one who led the way in the inner house. Said: "Only girls who are not serious can tie their waists."

Zhu Yuan turned to Luoshui: "Shanshan said that you are not serious."

Cheng Shanshan's eyes widened.

This.

I... that's not what I said!

Luo Shui smiled strangely: "I just wear it, but I don't have a waist."

Cheng Shanshan, who obviously had trouble receiving the news, nodded quickly. She didn't want to offend Sister Luoshui.

Zhu Yuan ignored the teasing in Luo Shui's tone, and said: "...Just now, oh, I need to tie my waist, open my hair, and tie a ponytail, so that it looks good and fits my aesthetics."

Luo Shui nodded, and after discussing, he removed the hairpin from his head: "Nuza, show me."

The girl next to her was neat, and in just a moment, a high ponytail was tied up, and she stood up deliberately, tying up her slender waist.Although the color of the light pink is not right, and the temperament is not right, but overall, it is still quite right.

So I boasted a few words.

Cheng Shanshan on the opposite side was a little crazy, wanting to swallow what he just said.

Did I just say something?

Asking Luo Shui to walk around the bed a few times to appreciate it, Zhu Yuan asked her to come back and sit down.

Called He Xuan again, handed him the gift list, and said: "Take it all, and also, Mrs. Zhuang 22, bring me to see."

He Xuan agreed, and after confirming that Zhu Yuan had no other orders, he stepped back and left.

Zhu Yuan then turned to the business and gestured to the various materials in front of him: "Come on, you are all ingenious, help me make a mask sample."

Speaking of this, the laboratory of the University of Medicine even has a full set of protective clothing, and masks have naturally come out long ago. However, this time, Zhu Yuan mainly considered dust protection.

So the requirements are not so high.

The first thing that comes to mind is activated carbon.

Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity. I remember that all kinds of professional masks, including gas masks, were basically equipped with activated carbon filter layers.

There is no activated carbon at hand at the moment, but the University of Medicine has it. It is made for the extraction of penicillin. The material is grapefruit peel. I am too lazy to get it, so I use charcoal instead for the time being.

There is also gauze, which is actually thin and loose cotton yarn.

Furthermore, the cotton used as a general compartment is also readily available at home.

As for finding leather, Zhu Yuan wanted to make a better mask similar to a gas mask.

The six girls were indeed ingenious, and as Zhu Yuan told the story, he drew simple patterns together, and the girls around him immediately picked up scissors and started sewing.

Ordinary cotton gauze mask, two layers of cotton, with a charcoal layer in between, wrapped with a total of four layers of tulle.

This is also the best that Zhu Yuan can think of under the current conditions.

As for the past, I remember that professional masks required melt blown cloth.

The raw material of meltblown cloth is polypropylene, which has a pore size of 1 to 5 microns, which can block most bacteria and viruses.

Speaking of it, the reason why we can know such professional terms is that there is a certain period of special experience in the whole world. At that time, some people only relied on reselling melt blown cloth and made enough money for a lifetime in just a few years.

Polypropylene is a chemical raw material, and it is certainly not possible to find such a thing now.

However, it is only used to prevent dust, and Zhu Yuan also believes that his own design is enough to have a good effect.

The six girls worked together and quickly completed one, which Zhu Yuan put on himself.

Feel……

Too thick.

Not breathing well.

This is a very important point. If the breathing is not smooth, it will make people subconsciously not want to wear it, or if it is not worn well, the air will enter from the surrounding space, and the mask will be meaningless.

Therefore, there must be a balance between breathing and filtering.

The first one was eliminated, and the girls were told to start over.

Cotton is thinner.

At the same time, two more were picked and began experimenting with more complex masks made of leather.

This side is busy, the report sounded, and then Xieyi came in. Behind her was a delicate and small girl in a gorgeous red dress. At first glance, she was indeed very beautiful. She could be called a perfect melon-seeded face, with almond eyes full of spring, and double lips. Ruying, to use a clichéd metaphor, seems to come out of a painting.But, the problem is... no matter the size or appearance, it seems... they are all similar to the sacks that came in with them.

Small!
Only then did I realize that I neglected to ask Zhuang Muxu about the age of a certain Zhuang 22 Niang.

Don't want to be too young!

I like older ones.

Speaking of it, it was my own negligence. In fact, it is easy to imagine that Zhuang Liuniang said she was a woman, but she was actually only 23 years old. The dealer ranked sixth, so the No. 20 second must not be too big.

Before Zhu Yuan could speak, Niang Zhuang, who glanced around with her charming almond eyes, had already taken the initiative to salute Zhu Yuan. The little girl, dressed in gorgeous clothes, threw herself on the ground like a red flower in full bloom.

It is inevitable to think that yesterday, the appearance of shaking down from crying and fluttering on the desk, is actually like a flower.

The voice came, delicate and crisp, very pleasant to hear: "Daughter Zhuang, I have met you."

Ok……

It was just 'shaking down', but in a blink of an eye it was 'turning on the light' again.

Of course, Zhu Yuan could feel the careful consideration of the women around him when addressing them.

Thinking wildly, Zhu Yuan signaled: "Get up, do you have a name?"

Zhuang 22 got up, lowered her head slightly, shook her head slightly and said, "My daughter... has no name."

Zhu Yuan was not surprised either.

normal.

After all, in this day and age, even in a big family, many daughters' families don't have names.Just like Zhuang Liuniang, to be honest, it's just 'Zhuang'.

Zhu Yuan has a habit of naming names. He couldn't think of a good one for a while, so he didn't get up. He smiled and said, "22 is not bad, I like this number."

Zhu Yuan's own birthday is 'February 22' in the lunar calendar, here, there is another '22'.

Although it is very two, but, life is like this.

You two, or not two, two is there, not three, not four.

This is what Lu Xun said.

Zhu Yuan said so, Zhuang Erniang nodded slightly, and her smart eyes flickered.

Zhu Yuan happened to notice it and didn't point it out, and asked, "What about your age?"

Zhuang 22niang lowered her head and whispered, "My daughter is seventeen."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

This is a small person comparable to a sack, and this immature face... You say it's called Seventeen... You might as well say that you are 96 this year, and you have a nickname, 'Tianshan Child Elder'.

Ask again: "Really?"

The girl's charming eyes met Zhu Yuan's with sparkles, and she fled away again, whispering, "You are... seventeen."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

I don't bother to ask 'Xu' how old he is.

Mrs. Zhuang 22 who was standing by the low couch felt a little more relaxed when she saw that the elder did not ask any more questions.

This……

Regarding the age, she actually thought of it after she accidentally heard something that the second uncle had said to others. However, in order to avoid cheating, she also communicated with the second uncle.Because, after the family had traveled thousands of miles to finally send her here, it was only then that they found out that...probably...it was a wrong delivery.

This Lord Pingzhang, who has been widely rumored in the market... It seems that he doesn't like the family of a daughter who is too young, but prefers... the kind of his own sixth sister.

Can……

In a short time, there was no way to change the person. The second uncle even asked her if he wanted to send her back.

Mrs. Zhuang 22 is not willing.

Back home, with her status as a concubine, no matter how good-looking she is, it is still difficult to marry a respectable family as a regular wife, and it is even more likely that, like this time, she will be given to some important person as a concubine by her family.

That being the case, it is better to follow the trend.

The one in front of me... will be the king of the county in the future.

The princess concubine of the county king would always be able to live a better life. Even if she can have a son and a half daughter, what will happen in the future is really uncertain.

There was still something to do in front of him, so Zhu Yuan didn't think about it so much, he just acted as if there was an eye-catching little flower beside him, and motioned to the side of the square table in front of him: "Come, sit here and help, um... Xiaoyu is also coming."

Mrs. Zhuang 22 responded, and carried a wedding dress-like wide skirt from the opposite side of Zhu Yuan to the couch, lowered her head and took off her small embroidered shoes, revealing a pair of petite but natural feet under the white dress, and then went to the couch. Going around from behind the girls to Zhu Yuan's side.

These small actions are actually thoughtful.

Just now, I accidentally looked at a strangely dressed woman next to Mr. Pingzhang, with a pair of natural feet exposed beside her.Then, Mrs. Zhuang 22, who has survived the minds of her elders since she was a child, can easily judge that Master Pingzhang doesn't mind girls who don't bind their feet. Not only that, but she may also prefer to be more natural.

I am both natural and small, of course I have to show it off.

But, when Zhuang Erniang came to the inside, she accidentally discovered the difference between Liangqiu Liuniang.She wanted to continue showing her little feet after sitting down, but she was confused again.

This, what seems wrong?

When Zhuang 22niang walked around the side of the square table and Zhu Yuan was separated by Liangqiu Liuniang, the sack girl followed.

The two ladies sat down on the inside, and Zhu Yuan turned to Xieyi: "In the gift list of the dealer, I saw a set of "Taiping Yulan". This is a good thing, similar to the Encyclopedia of the Song Dynasty. It turned out to be complete, you ask them to sort it out, make a table of contents and a summary, this time you don’t need to check and proofread, there are too many, and you will find outsiders to do it in the future.”

Xie Yi agreed, but said: "Sisters are still willing to check books for adults."

Zhu Yuan nodded: "I know, but this matter is quite boring. You can do it when you have nothing to do. If you have other choices, you can do other things, such as the personal biographies they have been doing. Anyway, I still hope you do something more meaningful."

Xie Yi hummed, but she was thinking in her heart, in this mansion, the girls'... what... meaning, isn't it to revolve around the adults?
