Seeing the reactions of the two, Lu Xingyao was curious and moved closer to take a look, but Song quickly hid the paper.
He wanted to find out more, but Song urged him to leave. He became even more curious. What on earth did the ancestor send? Why did his mother and second aunt react so strangely, as if it was something shameful.
After her son left, Song spread out the paper. On it was a picture of a naked girl with a pair of pants that could not cover anything worn on her buttocks. The ancestor's painting skills were so superb that he painted the girl exactly like a real person. It was really embarrassing.
But the ancestor would not draw such a thing for no reason, there must be some deep meaning. She called Xu to look at it together, "Sister-in-law, come and take a look. This thing sent by the ancestor seems to be of great use."
Hearing that it was of great use, Xu blushed and went over to take a look. Her eyes fell on the girl who first put the thing in her hand on her body, then tore it off and threw it away after a while.
Mrs. Xu was smart. After some thought, she vaguely guessed something, "Could this be a menstrual cloth?"
We were in a hurry all the way from being exiled from the city. One or two of us had our menstrual period, so we could only use a piece of cloth as a pad for those few days. It was very sticky and uncomfortable, and because there was no place to wash it, we had to throw it away in the end.
In recent days, they have been worrying about what to do when their period comes. They didn't expect that the old ancestor was so thoughtful and sent these things to solve their urgent needs!
Song's eyes lit up at once, and she held Xu's hand tightly, "The old ancestor is insightful, this must be the menstrual cloth!"
Xu was also happy. It was great that there were so many of them that everyone could use them!
"I'll take some to share with them. There's a girl who just came today and is worried about having no menstrual cloth to change into!"
She took a few packets and walked quickly towards the women in the family with a smile on her face. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was happy, but no one knew what she was happy about.
The girl who was menstruating lowered her head in shame when she saw the picture on the paper. She watched Xu open a package and explain how to use it. Then she took the things and went into the tent to change.
She was surprised to find that this thing was completely different from the menstrual cloth she used before. It looked small, but it could be stretched into a large strip and was very elastic! She
didn't know what this thing was made of, but it was so magical.
She nervously put her feet in, picked up the pants-like thing and put it on. She was surprised to find that when it was stained with blood, it absorbed the blood immediately!
Moreover, the material fits the skin very well, can completely wrap the buttocks, and is very soft and comfortable.
In the past, when she used menstrual pads, she always felt sticky and uncomfortable, and they always got on her clothes, so she basically didn't leave her room for a few days, and sometimes she didn't even get out of bed, for fear of being seen and laughed at, ruining her reputation.
But these pants fit very well and were comfortable to wear. They didn't feel sticky even when stained with blood. She felt that even if she jumped a few times, it wouldn't get on her dress. They were totally incomparable to menstrual cloths!
The girl was very happy. After coming out of the tent, she pulled the women in her family and chattered about how comfortable and good this thing was, and how it could suck blood and not leave you feeling sticky after sucking blood!
"I've never used anything so good, aunt, you should try it too!"
Seeing the little girl so happy, they also became happy and wanted to open a package to see what it looked like, but they were afraid that it would be a waste if they couldn't use it. So they could only suppress their curiosity, knowing that they would be able to use it sooner or later anyway.
Song pulled the little girl and said with a smile, "The ancestors wrote on paper that it is best to change this thing every half a day. We have to travel during the day, so you should change it again when you get up tomorrow, and change it again after dusk. Don't use it after it has been used."
The little girl nodded rapidly, feeling happy and grateful to the ancestors.
"Our ancestor is so kind and thoughtful that he even prepared such convenient things for us. We are so blessed."
"That's right. I used to have people serving me in the capital, and I never thought there would be so many inconveniences. Now outside, even washing is difficult, it's really torture."
Someone hesitated and spoke out, expressing his confusion, "I don't know who this ancestor is. He even knows so much about the things women use. Could he be a woman?"
Song was surprised, "Woman?"
The others were also stunned. They had never thought about this question before. After all, they were in contact with an old man, and subconsciously thought it should be a man. Now think about it, it is very likely a woman!
At this time, Gu Xingzhao placed the rice next to Lu Qing, "Lu Qing, I brought some food, you ask everyone to come and eat."
Lu Qing had already smelled the fragrance, but since his ancestors didn't say anything, he didn't say anything either, for fear of disturbing them.
It was not until the ancestors spoke that Lu Qing responded: Thank you for your hard work, I will let them come over right away.
Gu Xingzhao presented the rice in front of everyone. Princess Shunyu was the first to see it. So many things appeared out of thin air in front of her. She was shocked and her mouth was slightly open!
Even though it was not the first time she had seen something appear out of thin air, she still couldn't calm down.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Xingzhao reached out and picked up a box of rice and chopsticks and placed them on the table in front of the little princess.
Seeing the rice running to her, Shunyu realized that it was given to her by the god of the Lu family. Her face turned red. She didn't know where the god was, so she whispered "thank you" to the rice.
Gu Xingzhao looked at her and felt like he was raising his own childhood self, so he held back his laughter.
When the Lu family heard that food was available, they came over in batches to get it, one box per person. Some took it and went into the tent, as they were afraid of conspicuousness and arousing jealousy from others.
However, the taste was so delicious that it couldn't be kept secret, and it made those people drool.
Princess Shunyu opened the lunch box and saw meat and vegetables, still hot and delicious. Her stomach growled twice and she picked up the chopsticks to put the food in her mouth, but she saw Mr. Liu Xiangbai standing by and reading a book. She asked Liu Xiangbai, "Sir, don't you want to eat with us?"
Liu Xiangbai coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, please eat. I am not hungry."
As soon as he finished speaking, a lunch box appeared in front of him. He was stunned, "???"
Gu Xingzhao stopped in front of Liu Xiangbai with a lunch box in his hand. Although being able to endure hardship is a good quality, one should not force himself to endure such unnecessary hardship.
Shunyu covered her lips lightly, "Sir, the god brought it to you personally, why don't you take it?"
After the little princess's reminder, Liu Xiangbai suddenly realized: "!"
How could he let the gods wait for him?!
He felt extremely guilty and quickly put down the things in his hands. He held the lunch box solemnly with both hands and said, "Thank you for the gift, gods!"
Seeing this, the old man laughed.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Gu Xingzhao took it out and looked at it. His forehead twitched. He saw a new friend request on the screen.
Gu Chengzhang: Xiaozhao, I am your father.
