Chapter 58 Soap

  At dawn, Qin Yu woke up from his dream and suddenly felt a numbness in his arm. He saw that Cheng Lingyun's head was resting on his arm.

  Looking at the remaining tears on Cheng Lingyun's face, Qin Yu's heart ached, and he gently kissed Cheng Lingyun's forehead. At this time, Cheng Lingyun's eyebrows moved slightly, and then she opened her eyes to see Qin Yu close by, a blush rising to her cheeks.

  After all, they had already become husband and wife in reality. Cheng Lingyun's feeling of shyness was not as strong as it was last night, and she called out in a crisp voice, "Husband."

  "Uh, is the rest okay?" Qin Yu asked softly.

  "Good." Cheng Lingyun smiled sweetly, but suddenly remembered something and anxiously cried out, "Oh no, husband, I forgot to put away the quilt last night!"

  Qin Yu heard this and was momentarily stunned, but quickly reacted, "Madam, who do you want to show the fallen red handkerchief to?"

  "Ah." A cry of surprise, Cheng Lingyun covered her small mouth, until now, she just reacted, Qin Yu only had one person, naturally did not need this.

  "Little fool, get up, the sun will burn your butt soon." Qin Yu was amused by Cheng Lingyi's appearance and smiled, then patted Cheng Lingyi's little butt.

  Cheng Lingyun suddenly hummed and frowned, Qin Yu saw this, patted his forehead, and said with some self-blame, "Madam, it's all my fault."

  "It's alright, husband." Cheng Lingyun's eyebrows relaxed as she spoke softly.

  Qin Yu looked carefully and suddenly found that the little girl was pretending to be fine. He let out a helpless sigh and said softly, "First put on your clothes, for these two days, just lie in bed and rest, don't get out of bed."

  "Husband, I'm fine." Cheng Lingyun's heart felt a warmth and she quickly spoke up.

  "What's wrong with you, listen, when I tell you to lie down, just lie down, did you hear?" Qin Yu said half severely and half sympathetically.

  Cheng Lingyun saw this and smiled sweetly, saying softly, "Mm."

  When getting dressed, it's inevitable to be honest with each other. When Qin Yu was holding Cheng Lingyun, it was okay, but as soon as he let go, especially when Qin Yu's sly eyes kept turning around, Cheng Lingyun's face turned bright red with shame. She immediately turned around and pulled the quilt over her body, not letting Qin Yu see her anymore.

  Qin Yu chuckled and shook his numb arm, then put on his clothes. When Qin Yu finished dressing, Cheng Lingyun was still motionless with her back to him. Seeing this, Qin Yu teased, "Madam, do you want me to help you get dressed?"

  "Ah, I, I'll dress myself." Cheng Lingyun replied shyly, and after a moment, she continued, "Husband, can you turn around?"

  Qin Yu helplessly smiled and turned around, saying "Alright, I've turned around, go ahead and change."

  The sound of "rustling" arose, and soon, Cheng Lingyun put on her clothes. Fortunately, Cheng Lingyun was very obedient and stayed in bed after dressing, not getting down.

  When Qin Yu opened the door, Xiao Tao was already waiting outside with six maids, looking like they had been waiting for a considerable amount of time, or else their spirits wouldn't have been somewhat dampened.

  "Master." Little Peach and six other maidservants saw Qin Yu open the door, immediately perked up and shouted.

  "Quickly, go and fetch towels, water, and attend to the master and mistress as they wash up."

  "Yes, Little Peach." The six maids said in unison and hastily left.

  Qin Yu was slightly stunned, but it was because of the maid's address to Xiao Tao. Although Xiao Tao was not much older than her, she was so respectful. However, she quickly came back to herself, and everything was due to her own attitude.

  Before long, the maids brought warm water and toothbrushes to attend to Qin Yu and Cheng Lingyu as they washed up.

  Cheng Lingyun's body was not convenient, and washing up was completed on the bed. Not long after, the maidservants put the kang table on the bed, which was Qin Yu's order, and breakfast was also carried out on the bed.

  Cheng Lingyun had discovered that the food at Qingfeng Residence was incredibly delicious yesterday, and she thought it was a famous chef invited from somewhere. But now it seems not to be the case. This breakfast is also refreshing and delicious. Cheng Lingyun's doubts arose, and she hastily asked, "Husband, were yesterday's dishes all made by our family's cook?"

  Qin Yu heard the question from Cheng Lingyun and smiled suddenly, then said, "Yes, they were all made by our own chef. Madam, guess who made this breakfast?"

  "Who?" Cheng Lingyun asked dazedly.

  "Haha, you definitely wouldn't have guessed that the one who made this breakfast is Shuang Xi's wife." Qin Yu said with a smile, finishing off the last mouthful of porridge.

  "Double happiness? Can she cook?" Cheng Lingyun asked in surprise.

  Cheng Lingyun had been suspicious for some time, and hadn't seen Shuang Xi the day before. The person who came to attend to her in the morning wasn't Shuang Xi either. She thought Qin Yu was seeking revenge, thinking that Shuang Xi had hurt him before, punished Shuang Xi, and even drove Shuang Xi out of Qingfeng Residence.

  But this is a question that absolutely cannot be asked, Shuang Xi being a personal maid was just a coincidence, how could it cause discord between husband and wife because of a maid? Now it seems, Shuang Xi wasn't driven out of Qing Feng Residence, Cheng Lingyun secretly let out a sigh of relief, after all, she and Shuang Xi grew up together since childhood, saying they didn't have feelings for each other was false.

  "Of course." Qin Yu nodded and briefly told them about the Double Happiness and Big Cow's situation.

  Cheng Lingyun nodded after listening, "So it's good, I was wondering why Shuang Xi always made excuses when I mentioned marriage to him, now I know he has a lover."

  After finishing breakfast, Qin Yu accompanied Cheng Lingyun for a conversation before getting up to head to the study, where more than half of the books were waiting for him to add punctuation marks. However, Qin Yu was only going to fetch a book, having just gotten married and couldn't bear to neglect Cheng Lingyun.

  Speaking of last night's events, Qin Yu was filled with regret. No matter how he thought about it, he hadn't expected that Cheng Lingyun's self-abasing personality would lead to her own downfall, and her self-righteous explanations had almost gotten her into trouble. Fortunately, she was unscathed. Just thinking about this made the corners of Qin Yu's mouth curve up in a wry smile.

  "Alas, let's reduce the frequency later, take a bath beforehand, and especially be careful not to get pregnant." Qin Yu thought as he walked, but suddenly stopped and slapped his forehead, "Damn it, how could I forget this? Soap! Ah yes, how is soap made again?"

  Qin Yu muttered to himself, while Xiao Tao stood quietly beside him, waiting.

  Qin Yu suddenly thought of the bathing products of the Tang Dynasty, one of which was a bath bean. This contained many Chinese medicines and fragrances, making it expensive and troublesome to produce, so ordinary people couldn't afford to use it.

  As for ordinary people who basically use soap nuts, these natural bath products have a mediocre cleaning effect and most importantly, they have production limitations.

  Qin Yu thought for a moment, and then hastily rushed to the study, without even noticing the broken courtyard wall that had been smashed by stones.

  After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yu wrote down the method for making soap and handed the formula to Xiao Tao, instructing her, "Xiao Tao, buy all the things on this list, then make these two things according to what's written here."

  "Yes, young master." Xiaotao took over the prescription written by Qin Yu and thought to herself, "The young master is going to make something good again." Then she hastily left the study.

  Looking at the back of Xiao Tao, Qin Yu smiled slightly, "It's about time to get these things out, this thing is easy to make and has a good effect, it will definitely sell well, even if you don't take it out to make money, you can use it yourself."

  Qin Yu naturally knew that soap was an alkaline substance, too strong for the skin, so the formula tried to be as close to neutral as possible, but basically there was no big problem, the human body had its own automatic regulation function, just after washing maybe a little uncomfortable, it would recover to normal state soon.

  Besides, soap is only used for bathing and not a skincare product. If you want to take care of your skin, there were many formulas in ancient times. The Chinese medicine ingredients in the bath beans have this effect, and you can also use milk, cucumber and other beauty and skincare products.

  At this time a maid came hastily and said, "Master, Shi Tou, Shi Tou is sleeping in the toilet."

  "What's with the stone?" Qin Yu was slightly stunned, then remembered that Stone had smashed a section of the courtyard wall last night and silently cursed, "This guy." He then rushed towards the toilet.

  When he arrived outside the toilet, he saw a stone leaning against the wall with two big hammers, snoring loudly. The entrance to the toilet was completely blocked by this guy, and the servant who emptied the toilet couldn't get through. Qin Yu's mouth twitched, "This can also sleep."

  Qin Yu was just about to go forward when several servants hurriedly shouted, "Master, whatever you do, don't get close, he'll hit people even while asleep."

  Qin Yu heard this and was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the stone statue with its eyes closed and holding a large hammer, silently saying to himself, "What a freak."

  "A rock." Qin Yu thought for a moment, but ultimately didn't dare to get close. What if this guy suddenly came to and gave him a whack? That would be a loss. He shouted out loud, but the rock didn't even bat an eyelid, still breathing evenly, unmoving.

  "Stone." Qin Yu's tone was heavy, but Stone still didn't react.

  Qin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly, "Dinner is ready."

  "Eat, eat, wait for me." Shi Tou suddenly opened his eyes and shouted with a eager face, but in an instant he saw Qin Yu's helpless face, "Ah, old man, how did you come?"

  Qin Yu got married, and even the servants changed their address to him, Qin Yu thought about it and didn't correct them.

  It doesn't matter what you call me, as long as you show respect. It's all the same whether it's "master" or "young master". Besides, Qin Yu is already 26 years old now and has become a husband, and he is also the only male owner of the house, so it's also appropriate to call him "master".

  "Do you still want to stay here?" Qin Yu glared at Shi Tou and continued, "Will you keep recklessly swinging your hammer in the future?"

  The stone thought for a moment and said, "I was practicing my skills. Weren't you also practicing last night, young master? And with the madam too."

  Qin Yu's face stiffened as he heard this, and he muttered under his breath, "Bastard." The servants and maids around him all lowered their heads, wanting to laugh but not daring to, feeling extremely stifled.

  "Stones, from now on, you're prohibited from approaching the rear courtyard within a hundred meters!" Qin Yu shouted in a flustered tone.

  "Old master, how can I protect you then?" Shi Tou asked, looking at Qin Yu in confusion.

  "Protection? Protect your butt, this is home, when you go out, you protect yourself." Qin Yu said in a bad tone.

  "Yes, sir." Shi Tou bowed and replied, then looked at Qin Yu with an expectant face and asked, "Sir, can I eat now?"

  "Go." Qin Yu sighed, he had really lost his temper with Shi Tou. To put it nicely, Shi Tou was naive, but to put it bluntly, he was a bit of an idiot, lacking a few screws in the head. However, Shi Tou's loyalty and martial arts skills were things that Qin Yu appreciated, otherwise he would have driven him away long ago.
