"There is a moon in Chang'an, and the sound of thousands of households pounding their clothes."

When I was reading ancient poems in the past, Shi Yiwen didn’t know what the artistic conception of “the sound of thousands of households pounding clothes” was. But at this time, he was in the Zuixian Tower and looked out the window. Apart from the exquisite pleasure boats in the Qinhuai River, women were washing clothes everywhere on both sides of the river.

The "bang" sound made by the hammer when hitting the clothes is far apart, but it can still be heard.

Perhaps, this is the so-called "the sound of thousands of households pounding clothes".

While talking to himself, Shi Yiwen carefully observed the laundry women, who were either crowded on a stone steps by the river, or squatting by the river, wearing a stone hammered suit.

It looks scattered, but it can be seen that most of these women are in groups of three or five, and there are naturally some active women in the crowd. Their characteristics are that they have a loud voice. Even if they are far apart, they can hear their voices. The occasional unrestrained laughter has attracted a look of passers-by.

It's them!

When he arrived at the river and pointed at the women with the loudest voice in the distance, Shi Yiwen ordered Xiao Lian.

"Xiao Lian, come and invite those women over."

"Young Master, what are you asking them to come here to do?"

Xiao Lian pouted and said unhappily,

"They are all splashing..."

She originally wanted to say "a shrew", but she changed her words when she was about to stop.

"It's all women, so it's not advisable for young masters to see them, so as not to get rid of their identity."

"It's okay, just invite them over."

Shi Yiwen smiled and said that he didn't care about the great defense of men and women, and it seemed that this era was not as conservative as he thought.

"Oh, he's a noble man."

"My mother in Li family, that young master called you over, you should be attracted to you..."

"Seek family, look at your broken mouth. I really owe the man to clean up. Just open your mouth and say "up"..."

Xiao Lian, who asked those women, listened to their dirty words, was just a blushing sound. Her red face made the woman beside her change the target.

"Why is your little maid blushing? I heard from the old lady that when you are a maid, you have to be more careful when serving the young master. There are those who are not pretty. You are so handsome. You should spend some time on him quickly and serve him more diligently at night. Maybe you will become a concubine if you change the year..."

"No, maybe I will be happy when I turn back and become a regular house."

The women's teasing made Xiao Lian's face even redder. She hurriedly ran towards the pavilion, but she still dared to talk to these women.

As for the women who saw her running away in panic, they burst into laughter. For these already stingy women, they had long been used to teasing their young wife and big maids.

However, despite being stingy in front of the people, when they approach the pavilion, they all became dignified and cautious. After all, the young man in the gorgeous clothes in front of him must be no ordinary family even if he dresses up.

"I have seen the young master, but I wonder if the young master called me to come over. What instructions do you have?"

Standing in front of the noble man, Li Wangshi seemed quite humble without her previous harshness.

"Well, it's not a question to tell me. In fact, the reason why I invited several sisters-in-laws to come is to discuss business with my sisters-in-law."

Shi Yiwen showed a bright smile.

"Business?"

The women looked at each other.

"Young Master was joking, what business is there with us women?"

"Why can't women talk about it? Where..."

Take out a few coins of broken silver from your purse, Shi Yiwen said.

"This business is to ask you to wash clothes, one cent a day, and wash your own clothes. I wonder what my sister-in-law thinks?"

Looking at the silver on the stone table in horror, and then at the young man in China, the women looking at each other could not speak for a moment. After a long time, Li Wang asked.

"My husband, is it just kidding?"

"joke?"

Shaking his head, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Of course not, but I have a request..."

The next morning, as before, Mrs. Li Wang brought a wooden plate to the river to wash clothes. After finding a laundry stone by the river, she lowered the small stool and greeted the nearby women.

"Sister Xu, sister Wang family, you are here too!"

The woman who was pounding her clothes with a laundry hammer raised her head and smiled.

"Oh, it's a girl from the Li family. Why did you run so far today? I haven't seen you here in the past!"

"Hey, I don't know if it was the one who was despicable who actually kicked the stone into the river. So, I can only get here first..." Li Wang complained for a while, and Shuang talked about family matters with several other women.

The clothes were directly spread by the river. After washing them with the running water, unlike in the past, she did not use the laundry hammer to beat the clothes, but wiped them with the soap she picked yesterday on the collar that she had never been washed clean. Then she rubbed them directly on the stone.

“Huh?”

Her actions immediately attracted the attention of other women. Sister Xu stopped the laundry hammer in her hand and said curiously.

"Miss Li, why didn't you bring the laundry wood? Did you forget it? I'm almost finished washing, why don't you use mine first."

"Oh, thank you Sister Xu. Look, I don't need to wash the laundry wood. Just rub it a little, look, the foam will come out, and the dust will come out..."

As he spoke, the white foam turned into gray foam. After rubbing it back and forth twice, Li Wang took the soap and wiped it on the collar.

"Miss Li, what are you applying on your clothes? Why do you make bubbles appear after rubbing them, and even bring out all the ashes?"

"Sister Xu, this is the "soap" I bought on the street yesterday. It is said that it is better than soapcorns. It can wash off all the ash without a hammer and hammer. It can save clothes. I bought a piece to try..."

Speaking of which, cotton brushed her clothes, and she had already cleaned her clothes, and put them in the river. The river water washed away a large area of ​​foam, and the surface of the river was covered with white foam, which attracted the attention of others.

Most of the other women looked at Li Wang curiously, and saw her posing for a while, then lifting her clothes up.

"ah!"

A sudden scream, Li Wang said in surprise.

"Look, it's really clean, even the old gray on the cuffs has been washed white..."

"Oh, no, how can I wash these cuffs look like new clothes! Li's girl, I lend me this soap to use. My clothes in charge have been knocked for a long time and have not been washed yet."

Sister Xu took the soap, rubbed it on the clothes, then pressed it on the stone and rubbed it. A lot of foam appeared on the clothes, and the white foam was covered with gray foam.

"Oh, Sister Xu, look, the bubble has turned black!"

"No, this is the clothes I washed just now. I have been hammered for a long time, so why are there so much dust?"

As she complained, Sister Xu rubbed her a few more times, but the dust was still a lot. After rubbing her for a while, she put her clothes in the river, washed away large areas of foam, and then raised her clothes to look.

"Oh, this is washed very clean!"

All the women looked at their clothes in surprise. The clothes were washed much cleaner than before, and they could tell at a glance.

"Look, even the putty on the cuffs has been washed away!"

"It's really clean! The cuffs are usually not clean. Sister Li, what kind of soap did you buy from?"

"That's right, how much does it cost? How long can this amount last?"
