Chapter 433 Double-Line Hammer
Tang Qingluan and the other two were divided into three groups and stayed with their respective maids.
Among the people that Nanny Xu brought out from the capital were four noble ladies serving as palace maids, eight handmaids, and eight old women.
They said they were palace maids, but in fact it was just a name to cover up their tracks.
In terms of numbers, each noble lady was equipped with two maids and two old women to serve her.
However, because Wan Youyou is not sociable, in the eyes of others, she is not qualified to share maids and servants with real noble ladies.
So her maid was divided between Cao Jing and Jiang Wanru, and ended up having a stomachache on the way and had to find a place to go to the toilet alone.
When these noble ladies came to the tribe, what they needed was to win over the hearts of the people with their own abilities, so Nanny Xu naturally turned a blind eye to it.
As the saying goes, three women make a play. With the maids giving advice and suggestions, the noble ladies also had their own ideas, so much so that they didn't even know that Wan Youyou hadn't returned.
Next to the white tent where the newlyweds lived, a wooden house was now built. Song Liyun and Madam Yun hung sheets on the wooden rack inside.
Wooden rack, and a few dried sheets that need to be put away.
Madam Yun straightened the wrinkles on the wet sheet and said to Song Liyun, "Miss, I have to say something to you. The young master is hot-tempered and you can't let him do what he wants."
Song Liyun was a little shy, a rare sight: "I know, now... isn't it too late to wash?"
The bedding that was changed on the wedding night was only taken out in the afternoon after Madam Yun urged her to do so.
I can adapt to everything in the tribe, except that it is inconvenient to hang clothes to dry, not to mention the sheets that need to be changed every day.
Without a courtyard wall, no matter how generous and thick-skinned Song Liyun was, she would feel embarrassed to expose her privacy.
Madam Yun is an experienced person. She has lived with the Song brothers and sisters for many years and has long regarded Song Liyun as her own daughter.
She asked Song Liyun to build another room with wooden walls, but without a roof.
I usually boil water to wash clothes in the house, and I can also dry the clothes directly inside without having to worry about being seen.
This method immediately solved Song Liyun's problem, and now this room is her dedicated laundry room.
But naturally, she could not hide her sexual affairs with Zhao Tingduo from Madam Yun, and she could not help but complain that Zhao Tingduo was not considerate enough and wasted the girl's energy.
Song Liyun was also at a loss for words.
As a newlywed, Zhao Tingduo was a "capable" man, and she was addicted to the attractive men.
But he couldn't stand Madam Yun's nagging, so he had to discuss with Zhao Tingduo to control himself appropriately.
The two were talking in private when someone knocked on the door. Yuquan shouted, "Madam, the young master is back, and he's brought a maid with him!"
Madam Yun uttered a soft sigh, her expression suddenly darkening: "What are these alluring maids trying to do? They want to get close to the young master so soon?"
During this period of time, the young lady never let these "maids" come close to serve her, and the young master never mentioned why he brought people back.
Song Liyun's expression was indifferent. Before she could say anything, Madam Yun continued, "Don't worry, young lady. You and your uncle have only been married for less than a month, so he will definitely not take a concubine.
Little Stone has been following his uncle these days. If any woman dares to do anything naughty, he will come and tell her immediately."
Little Stone was no longer a slave, but was training with others in horse riding and archery.
Song Liyun prepared separate tents for him and Madam Yun. They could do their own work during the day, and mother and son could talk at night.
I think Xiao Shitou had received Madam Yun's instructions to serve as Song Liyun's eyes.
Song Liyun laughed and said, "Aunt, I'm not worried about Ah Shi.
However, these noble ladies are all talented girls. If they really stay in the tribe to comb wool, it would be a waste. Let's see what else can be done first!"
When she entered the white tent, she saw Wan Youyou standing upright by the door and Yuquan kneeling on a small charcoal stove making tea.
"Yuquan, where is your young master?" Song Liyun walked in and changed into soft shoes.
Yuquan trotted over and pointed behind the tent: "The young master is changing clothes."
Zhao Tingduo doesn't want anyone to serve him. In the past, only Yuquan occasionally helped with cleaning. Now that Madam Yun is here, he has to go into the inner tent even when changing clothes.
Song Liyun nodded, sat by the charcoal stove, and waved to Wan Youyou: "Miss Wan, come over and have some tea!"
Wan Youyou bowed, took off her shoes, walked onto the carpet and walked to Song Liyun, and knelt down as well.
Although she was a maid at this time, she was originally a lady from a noble family.
She did not behave like a humble maid, but sat upright with a graceful and appropriate demeanor. She handed Yuquan the teacup to her without any surprise or servility, and even took a sip seriously.
Song Liyun didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at Wan Youyou.
At this time, Zhao Tingduo had changed out of her riding clothes, tied a headband on her forehead, let her hair down, and came out wearing a moon-white cotton robe.
Yuquan quickly poured him another cup of milk tea. Zhao Tingduo sat down carelessly and looked at Wan Youyou and said, "Tell me about the double-wire hammer you made. Let the young lady hear if it works!"
Wan Youyou then put down the tea bowl and took out two plumb bobs from her arms.
She had already told Zhao Tingduo once in the spinning tent, and now she told Song Liyun about the method she wanted to improve the bobbin!
Listening to Wan Youyou's convincing words, Song Liyun had no expression on her face, but her eyes narrowed and she was very happy.
There are many different ways to spin yarn.
There are large spinning machines and simple spinning machines. The most commonly used ones by herders are the bobbins that only require one hand to operate and can twist the thread while walking.
They usually graze their livestock while spinning woolen yarn with the bobbins they carry with them for use in their daily lives.
The only problem is that the yarn spun by this method is of uneven thickness and its quality cannot compare to that of a spinning machine. However, it is much more convenient to operate than a spinning machine that requires combing the wool in advance.
Now Wan Youyou wants to change the line bobbin operated by one person with one hand to one with two rotating hammers, so that two strands of line can be twisted out.
According to her, it is theoretically feasible. Of course, the quality cannot compare with textile machines, but the output will double.
After all, Wan Youyou is not an expert in this area, and there are many loopholes in it. Moreover, the power of the continuously rotating plumb line is just barely enough.
But in Song Liyun's opinion, no matter whether Wan Youyou's idea can be realized or not, the fact that she took the initiative to think of this is impressive.
This was also what Song Liyun did not expect and expected.
After Wan Youyou finished speaking, she looked at Song Liyun without saying a word. Although she looked calm, her tightly clenched hands on the edge 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 creating new things.
They have been in the tribe for almost a month and have no worries about food and drink here.
The four of them were nominally palace maids, but Song Liyun and Madam Wuya never actually ordered them to do anything. It was still Madam Xu who asked them to comb wool.
The three of them were still secretly happy that they could continue to live a life of luxury, but Wan Youyou was nervous.
