After Mu Qingcheng and Yun Qing had dinner, it was already dark. Doctor Ma fed Xiao Hei the medicine and refused to leave.

Mu Qingcheng and Yun Qing ignored him, and Old Man Ma sat aside and chatted with Yun Qing shamelessly. Mu Qingcheng rolled her eyes almost to the roof, but Yun Qing pretended not to hear, since he didn't need to speak anyway.

At this time, the proprietress walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Miss, have you finished your meal? The bath water is ready. When do you want to use it?"

"Right now!" Mu Qingcheng didn't want to wait a moment. She really wanted to take a shower and change clothes.

The proprietress followed Mu Qingcheng back to her room. At this time, there was a large wooden barrel in the room, with steam rising from it.

It was the first time Mu Qingcheng had seen a bathtub used by the ancients. She walked around the tub, curiously observing it. The landlady thought she was disgusted by the old tub and quickly explained.

"Don't be disgusted, young lady. This wooden barrel has never been used by guests outside. I just asked Fuqi to brush it many times before I brought it here."

Mu Qingcheng said, "No, no, I'm just curious. Did the boss lady buy any underwear?"

"I bought it." The proprietress smiled and brought a bundle, put it on the bed and opened it to show Mu Qingcheng. There was a pile of brand new clothes in the bundle.

"Why so many?" Mu Qingcheng was a little surprised.

"This isn't much. Look, girl. What else is missing?"

The proprietress took out a pile of pink and green clothes from her bag and whispered to Mu Qingcheng with a blush on her face.

"Miss, please don't be angry. I dare not hide this from you! These bras and bellybands were embroidered by Madam Wang for the girls in the building. If you don't mind, you can pick a few. Madam Wang said that you won't be charged for these. They are all given to you by her."

Mu Qingcheng opened them one by one and looked at them. The underwear was made of white fine cotton, simple in design but with fine stitching and exquisite workmanship.

There are also a few pieces of clothing that look like tank tops, which should be tube tops. The tube tops feel silky smooth and are made of silk. Each tube top is embroidered with exquisite patterns.

Wearing such a beautiful and exquisite tube top as underwear? Wouldn't it cover up the beautiful embroidery? Who would you wear it for?

"This tube top is so beautiful, why don't I see anyone wearing it here?"

The proprietress blushed and said, "Who in a decent family would wear clothes like this? Don't be angry, young lady! Madam Wang definitely didn't mean to insult you. It's just that my craftsmanship is too crude and not up to par. She doesn't have any ready-made underwear for sale. It just so happened that Xinyuelou ordered a batch of fine silk clothes from her. Underwear is extra, so to attract customers, she made a few extra pieces. The ones for you are the most elegant ones. If you don't mind, you can use it as a bellyband. No one will see it if you wear it underneath. If you don't like it, I'll send it back to her immediately."

Mu Qingcheng was a little dumbfounded. Before traveling through time, she also wore ancient costumes with her bestie. They wore this kind of tube top directly on the outside, with a long skirt that dragged on the ground underneath, and a thin long shirt with wide sleeves on the outside. They thought it was so beautiful at the time and even wore it out to take pictures everywhere.

Unexpectedly, the girls here were all dressed like those in brothels. Mu Qingcheng looked embarrassed, but also amused. If her best friend was here, she would have laughed at her.

Mu Qingcheng picked up the bellyband again and examined it. It was also made of silk, smooth and soft, and should be very comfortable next to the skin. The color was also her favorite matcha green, and it was embroidered with white gardenias, which was elegant and beautiful, like a work of art. She fell in love with it at first sight; it was purely handmade.

She prefers a tube top to a bellyband.

"This bra and bellyband are so beautiful! The embroidery is also exquisite. I want them both. Can you ask Madam Wang for me how much they are? They are not given as gifts."

The lady boss said happily, "As long as the girl doesn't mind, I'll ask her to give you a better discount."

Mu Qingcheng thanked the proprietress and went to look at clothes again. The dresses she bought consisted of four pieces from inside to outside, from top to bottom, all made of fine cotton.

The fabric is ordinary, the workmanship is simple, and there is no embroidery. The top inside is a light pink narrow-sleeved jacket, paired with a light pink pleated skirt, and a blue apron embroidered with butterflies and flowers outside the skirt. The outermost layer is a light blue mid-sleeved robe.

"This dress is so beautiful. This lady's craftsmanship is really good. Why only one dress?"

The proprietress said, "The tailor shop is mostly booked in, and the ready-made clothes are only on display. The two gentlemen only brought one set of clothes today, and I'll have her make the rest for you quickly."

Mu Qingcheng wanted to laugh when she thought of the blue dress Yun Qing was wearing, which was fat and short.

"Please ask the boss lady to tell Madam Wang to make my two brothers' clothes longer."

The proprietress smiled mysteriously and said, "To be honest, young lady, Madam Wang came to measure the two young masters this afternoon. When she left, she kept praising their handsomeness!"

Mu Qingcheng thought, Yun Qing is still worthy of being handsome and elegant, Xiao Hei! Forget it!

"Girl, hurry up and take a bath! The water will soon be cold. Please try on your new clothes later. If they don't fit, please give them to Madam Wang for alterations."

Mu Qingcheng saw the proprietress off and couldn't wait to get into the bathtub.

Finally, she could take a good bath. She immersed herself in the water and sighed, "It's so comfortable!"

There was a bath stool next to the bathtub, and on the stool were two boxes, one box contained soap nuts and the other box contained soapberries.

Mu Qingcheng was familiar with these two ingredients; in her mother's studio, they were the raw materials for making shampoo. Modern people are pursuing pure plants and using technology to extract plant essences for use.

But who has ever used such a pure natural plant shampoo?

Mu Qingcheng was a little worried when she took the pure natural soapnut. How could she use it? She put the soapnut in her hands and rubbed it hard. Sure enough, it could make foam, but this little foam was not enough to wash her hair.

She plunged her head into the water and rubbed her hair back and forth with the soapnut. Soon the soapnut became tangled with her hair, and the more she pulled, the tighter the tangle became. Mu Qingcheng was a little overwhelmed and finally had to give up.

Forget it, just wash yourself first!

After taking a shower, she wiped herself clean with a large cloth and started to get dressed. She still liked those two informal tube tops very much, and always felt that belly bands looked good but were not practical.

Putting on a bra was like wearing a luxurious tank top underneath her clothes. She changed into clean underwear, leaving out her jacket and skirt, and ran to the bronze mirror to quickly free her hair.

Her hair and soap beans were all tangled on top of her head, and she had no eyes on her head, so she had no choice but to ask for help.

Who should I contact? The boss lady? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

Let's go find Yun Qing! He couldn't see her, nor could he see her miserable appearance.

Mu Qingcheng put on her outer robe and secretly opened the door a crack. The inner courtyard was very quiet, and there were occasional sounds coming from the front yard. It seemed that the boss and his wife were still busy in the front yard.

I looked at Yunqing's room and saw that the light was still on. I wondered if the old man had left.

She slipped to the door of Yun Qing's room and listened carefully to the movements inside. After listening for a while, it was quite quiet inside. The old man probably left!

Suddenly, the door was opened. Mu Qingcheng was caught off guard and fell into a strong embrace. She unconsciously put her arms around the man's waist.

The sudden hug confused Yun Qing. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated and his breathing became heavy.
