Chapter 42: Little Lady


After the wave of promotion of hemp spinning wheels, Luo Yong began to prepare some handicrafts of knitting woolen socks in the village and sent them out.

The main targets were the few unmarried teenage girls in the village.

These unmarried girls are now in a somewhat embarrassing situation in Xipo Village because the villagers are worried that the technology of making tofu will be spread to other villages, so they are unwilling to let their unmarried girls know the method of making tofu.

Gradually, this has become a tacit rule in every household.

Even those who love their daughter do not dare to offend the interests of the whole village on this matter.

Every time they make tofu, they have to keep their daughter away.

In contrast, in the surrounding villages, many people want to marry their daughters to Xipo Village.

Not only can they have enough food and drink to live a good life, but they may also be able to help their parents' families.

At this time, women still had no status, not to mention in the homes of ordinary people, even among the noble families, many of their daughters had to be married off in exchange for benefits.

Speaking of which, the current legal system does not support women's independence.

Firstly, both women and men must marry when they reach a certain age, otherwise they will be fined.

Secondly, the land equalization system implemented in the early Tang Dynasty did not allocate separate land to women.

When men come of age, they will be allocated land, but women will not.

When the Western Jin Dynasty implemented the land occupation system in the early years, women actually had land.

When Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented the land equalization system, women still had land.

Even in the Sui Dynasty, women also had land.

In the Tang Dynasty, women generally could not be allocated fields.

However, women at this time still had certain inheritance rights, and widows could also be allocated fields.

Therefore, there were many female households in society, including some old, weak, disabled, monks and nuns.

Qu, etc., because they were exempted from renting mediocre tunes, they were called non-class households.

There are female households in Xipo Village, like Feng Gouer's family, which is a female household.

There is also an old woman who lives with her two daughters-in-law and several grandchildren.

Their family is also a female household.

There are not many teenage girls in the village.

Not counting the second mother, there are only eight of them.

Plus an eight-year-old Yin Lan, there are only nine in total.

These nine people have recently learned to spin from Luo Erniang.

They were used to spinning twine at home.

Most of them have also learned the hemp spinning wheel recently promoted in the county.

Now they are called They spin wool, and these little girls get started very quickly.

After all, spinning wool is much easier than twine.

The cashmere fiber is soft and even and doesn't tend to get knotted.

This time, Si Niang also spun yarn with the little ladies in the village.

In two days, Er Niang would teach them how to knit woolen socks.

Si Niang had also been exposed to woolen socks before.

After she figured out what was going on, she started knitting wool socks.

No more interest.

This time, she couldn't escape no matter what.

Not only did the second mother speak, but the aunt also talked to her.

The fourth mother was still more afraid of the aunt and didn't dare to talk back to her casually.

"Sanlang, you have to go to the fields again today."

This morning, just a few steps out of the yard with a hoe on his back, Luo Yong was teased by several villagers who were about to leave the village.

"I'm going to weed."

Luo Yong said with a smile.

In fact, his family only has a few acres of land in total, and with so many disciples, one person can pull out all the weeds with two handfuls, and they can't even hoe the weeds.

He was just trying to avoid suspicion.

There were so many young ladies in the yard, so why did he just sit there all day long?

"As long as you hide frequently, you might be afraid that someone will rely on you to succeed," the villager joked.

"Nothing."

Luo Yong smiled and didn't answer their questions.

He was not afraid of anything as a man.

He just made fun of the little girls in the yard.

He always felt a bit disrespectful.

After all, girls' reputations It still matters.

"Where are you going?"

Luo Yong changed the subject.

"We are going to Da'ao to see the lambs, Sanlang, do you want lambs at home?"

the villager said.

"I don't want it anymore."

Luo Yong waved his hand.

"If you want, we will help you bring a few back.

You have to make a trip anyway."

The villager said kindly.

"It's enough for my family to have these pigs.

I don't plan to raise sheep."

Raising sheep also requires manpower.

His family only has a few children, so how can they do so much work.

Seeing that he persisted and didn't seem to be polite to them, the villagers said no more.

It takes three or four hours to walk from Xipo Village to Dayao Village.

There is a whole mountain of grassland in Dayao Village.

Most of the villagers raise goats, many more than here.

The price of lambs there is higher than other places.

The village is slightly lower, but the place is too remote.

There are many mountain roads along the way.

If not for a few people, we would not dare to go there, for fear of encountering wild animals on the road.

Now the villagers in Xipo Village have also heard that Luo Yong’s cashmere socks are very valuable.

Although they also know that cashmere is relatively rare, many people are still thinking about raising a few more sheep.

They slaughter them exclusively in winter and spring.

In this way, for every sheep killed, they can get a share of cashmere.

If they accumulate a little, they should be able to sell it for some money.

There are also those who have the elderly and children in mind, so they plan to save some cashmere and learn from Luo Erniang and others to knit socks and other items to keep warm in winter.

The autumn harvest is just around the corner.

After the autumn harvest, winter is coming soon.

Those who are impatient have already begun to prepare for the winter.

For these girls in Xipo Village, their work plan for this winter has been settled.

They only need to sit on the kang and wear sweaters and socks to earn money, and they no longer need to be forced to cook tofu for their families.

Feeling sad about being excluded.

They also studied very seriously.

Every time Luo Yong went back, he could see more balls of spun yarn in the basket, as well as some dexterous ones.

After just two days of learning, he could already learn it with the help of Er Niang.

I've knitted socks.

Occasionally, when Luo Yong goes back early, he will meet girls who haven't come home yet.

Many girls will blush and look shy when they see Luo Yong.

"Brother, don't ask them to coax you.

They are not like this on weekdays.

Tian Sanniang caught a snake on the slope a few days ago.

It was as thick as my arm."

Those women in the village My mother was very good at pretending to be good in front of her brother, and she was worried that her brother would be deceived and eventually marry a tigress.

"It's not as thick as your arm, at most it's as thick as Rokuro's arm."

Goro corrected from the side.

"How did she catch it?"

Luo Yong asked curiously.

"She was hunting pigweed on the slope.

She saw the snake coming down from the tree from a distance, so she ran over and chopped it with a sickle."

Siniang said.

""Luo Yong thought about the quiet little daughter of the Muramasa family, and felt that something was wrong.

"And Yin Lan's cousin, she's very good at climbing trees.

She won't dig out any other bird's nests except swallow's nests.

In the past two years, his mother-in-law said that she was getting married soon, so she won't ask her to climb trees anymore. , there are more birds around our village."

Siniang continued to reveal the news with a slight exaggeration, and Yin Lan's cousin sounded a bit tough.

"Yeah," Wulang added on the side: "In the past, when she was around, the children in the village couldn't pick out bird eggs.

In the past two years, she stopped climbing trees, so everyone can pick out bird eggs again."

"Her mother-in-law also made her a very narrow skirt and told her to walk in small steps like the little ladies in the city."

Siniang gloated.

It seems that Mrs.

Yin has monopolized the bird eggs in the village for many years.

It really brought a lot of hatred to myself.

"Brother, do all the ladies in the city walk like that?"

Wulang asked Luo Yong.

"I don't know."

Anyway, those little ladies in Lishi County definitely don't walk like that, and they don't know how fast they run.

As for what big cities are like, Luo Yong doesn't know much.

Chang'an City, suburbs.

On a piece of open and flat land, a group of young ladies dressed in Hu costumes and leather boots were playing polo on a Yanerfei.

A few days ago, Ma's Trading Company transported a batch of strange-looking two-wheeled vehicles from the north.

They said they were called Yan'erfei.

There was a black swallow engraved on the handlebars.

Under the black swallow were the words "Heng's Bicycle Manufacturing Company".

A small word.

People in Chang'an didn't know the origins of Heng's Car Manufacturing Company, but many people were very familiar with Yan'erfei, especially after Ma Jiulang of Ma's Trading Company rode this kind of car around the city.

Young people who love novelty rushed to buy his car.

Many of them didn't buy one, so they hired craftsmen to build one themselves.

Not long after, the city started playing polo games with Yanerfei instead of horses.

These young ladies came out of the city to play.

The roads in Chang'an City were spacious and flat, so riding Yanerfei out of the city was a no-brainer.

How long.

These little ladies are not yet skilled at playing, and from time to time someone falls off the car, but they are all very agile.

They roll on the ground, avoid the cars next to them, stand up, get on the car and continue playing. , there were endless shouts, bursts of laughter from time to time, and cars often collided with each other.

Some of the bold ones dared to sit in their own cars and reach out to pull other people's cars.

Guo An and others happened to come all the way from Hedong Road at this moment.

Before entering Chang'an City, they met this group of young ladies playing with the flying swallows, so several noble men said they couldn't leave and wanted to see this.

A game later.

Just when these people were having fun and watching, the weather was not good, a few small winds blew by, and then sporadic raindrops began to fall.

“Oops it’s raining” "Go quickly"

Everyone knows that Yanerfei is made of wood and bamboo, and the wheel pads are made of linen, with a layer of sheepskin stretched on the outside.

Regardless of whether it is wood, sheepskin or linen, it cannot withstand the rain.

When those young ladies saw that it was raining, they immediately got out of the car without even thinking about it, put their Yan'er flying on their shoulders, and ran towards the city gate.

"Hahaha!"

Not only did these gentlemen and gentlemen have no surprised reaction, they even shouted loudly for them: "Run faster, don't let Yanerfei pour the rain."
