Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 41 How to sew clothes

At night, it rained heavily in the town, with lightning and thunder, and the sound was so loud that the strong wind seemed to blow off the roof.

Under the prestige of nature, the small town is like a weak child, shivering.

Another bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the dark room for a moment, and Xu Yue and sisters, who were huddled in the quilt, immediately covered their ears.

The next second, "Boom!" There was a loud thunder, as if it was going to blow up the whole room, even though they covered their ears, the hearts of the two sisters still jumped violently.

This ancient thunderstorm seems to be wilder than the modern one, Xu Yue comforted herself that she was fine, but at the same time couldn't help thinking in her mind: there was no lightning rod in ancient times, what if the thunder directly hit her body?
"Are you okay?"

A burst of lightning and thunder passed by, and Wang, who was laying the floor on the floor, turned to the bed and asked concerned.

Xu Yue and Xu Erniang shook their heads and said in unison that it was all right.

It was just such a loud thunder that woke up the family of five. Five pairs of eyes stared wide-eyed in the dark room. From time to time, a flash of lightning flashed by, and the five pairs of eyes lit up at the same time. The family was almost scared by each other.

This is very embarrassing.

"."

"Ahem!" Xu Da lightly coughed twice, and the whole family looked towards him.

"You have a cold?" Wang asked with a frown.

Xu Da asked blankly, "What cold?"

When Wang heard this, she was full of anger, "Oh", and said lightly: "It's nothing."

Xu Da suddenly felt that a cold was not a good word, but this was not the point, the point was that he had something to say!
After coughing twice to attract everyone's attention, Xu Da said:

"Today, I inquired about something with the steward of the noble family. The governor of Jizhou ordered the counties and counties of Jizhou to take in the refugees who went north in Kaicheng, and gave them housing, land, and household registration. It sounds like a good place to go. What do you think? "

Wang asked distrustfully: "Are you sure the manager didn't fool you?"

Xu Yue, lying on the bed, remembered what happened in Puyang, and expressed doubts about such a good thing.

Looking at the suspicious faces of his cheap wife and children, Xu Da felt suffocated for a moment.

Who is he working so hard to inquire about? !
As if sensing the resentment in Xu Da's heart, Erniang Xu sympathized, "If what the steward said is true, then we'll find the nearest county town in Jizhou to settle down."

Xu Da finally felt a bit of warmth in his heart, "Then there is no need for the manager to lie to me, the news should be true, but I don't know if the counties and counties can strictly follow the orders from above."

Hearing this, the whole family fell silent, but no matter what, since they had a direction, they had to give it a try.

A cold autumn rain.

Waking up in the morning, the moment the door was pushed open, the cold wind hit, and Mrs. Wang, who was wearing only a shabby single dress, couldn't help shivering violently.

Fearing that the children in the house would be cold, she hurriedly closed the door, turned around and went back to the room to get a piece of cloth and went out again, called Tong's next door, and the two went to change the linen and came back to make clothes together.

It was getting colder, and wearing tattered single clothes would make you sick from the cold, so Wang decided to make two new clothes for adults and children to wear on top of each other.

One bolt of silk can be exchanged for four bolts of linen. Tong Shi helped estimate the materials used by the five members of Xu's family. Four bolts of linen are completely enough. If there is any extra, maybe two pairs of shoes can be made.

Ordinary peasants are not as particular about dressing as the nobles, mainly for convenience.

The woman wears a middle coat on the upper body, a cross-neck gown with narrow sleeves on the outside, and wide trousers on the lower body.

If you are a little more particular, you should wear deep clothes with curved trains, or Confucian skirts.

Men also wear similar clothes. For the convenience of work, the cuffs will be made larger, the hem of the clothes will be made shorter, and it is enough to wear trousers and a belt on the lower body.

Therefore, when walking on the street, people can basically tell the identity of the other party from the clothes.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Tong changed the cloth and bought needles and threads. The needles and threads were also expensive at this time. Mrs. Tong bought the lengths they needed, for fear of spending an extra penny.

She thought about the thread she used at home, thinking that Mrs. Wang was a familiar hand and didn't pay attention, until the two returned to the inn, when Mrs. Tong was about to ask Mrs. Wang to thread needles and threads together, she realized that Mrs. Wang hadn't bought any needles and threads.

If there is no needlework and only cloth, what do you use to make clothes?

Tong Shi was taken aback at first, and then gently said that his needles could be lent to Wang Shi.

Mrs. Wang refused embarrassingly, and got up to buy the needle and thread again.

Unexpectedly, the rain that had just stopped began to fall again, blocking Wang's house under the eaves.

"Let's use mine. I'll cut the fabric, sister-in-law of the Xu family, you sew first." Mrs. Tong came out, brought Mrs. Wang into the room, and handed the fabric she had just cut to Mrs. Wang for her to sew first.

Wang stared at the piece of cloth in his hand for a long time, and under Tong's surprised gaze, he asked awkwardly, "How should I sew clothes?"

Tong Shi was dumbfounded, and couldn't organize words to answer Wang Shi's question for a long time, so she just silently handed her her needle and thread.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too embarrassing, Wang put down the cloth with a smile, picked up four pieces of linen and went back to her room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw four father and son building a plank in the house.

The wooden board was exchanged by Xu Yue with a piece of millet cake and the inn's second brother. It is thick and big. My sister and brother can write and draw on it as much as they want, and let her carry it into the research room to light up the apple tree.

When the board is full, let my father plan it with a hatchet, so that the board can continue to be used.The brushed shavings can also be used to light a fire, killing three birds with one stone.

The father and son were tacitly brushing up knowledge points on Xu Yue's apple tree. Seeing that they were so focused, Wang opened his mouth, said nothing, and silently sat down in front of the table beside him holding the cloth.

Soon, the father and son noticed her sluggish appearance.

The father and son looked at each other in dismay, thinking in disbelief: Is this still my mighty aunt (wife) in front of me?

The four of them involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

Xu Da asked softly: "Xu Wang Shi, what's wrong with you?"

Wang cast him a glance, inexplicably annoyed, too lazy to answer.

Xu Yue remembered that Auntie and Aunt Tong went to change the linen to make clothes early in the morning. At this moment, shouldn't the two women be cutting cloth and making clothes?

Why did you come back with four pieces of cloth in your arms?
After thinking about it for a while, and looking at Wang's depressed appearance, Xu Yue suddenly understood.

"Can't Aunt know how to make clothes?" She asked in a low voice.

Mrs. Wang froze suddenly, and the four big characters of Tong Yan Wuji floated in her mind, and then she resisted the urge to gag her little daughter's mouth.

When the father and son saw it, they immediately understood.

Xu Da wanted to laugh a little, thinking that you are not very arrogant, a woman who knows astronomy and geography in the top, is this a fall?

But she was afraid of being beaten to death by Mrs. Wang, so she tried her best to walk forward with a sullen face, and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her:

"You don't know how to do it. It's normal. The original body can't do it. In the past, the family used to spend money to find someone to help make clothes."

Wang looked at Xu Da suspiciously, and suddenly thought that the general would not do it, but he could leave it to his soldiers!
