After the heat, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and in the afternoon, even the cicadas on the trees are weak and chirp for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Xiyun was half lying on the chaise longue, tearing off the collar with one hand, and scooping the watermelon ice with the other hand and stuffing it into his mouth. No matter how long he stays, he can't adapt to the midsummer of Shangdu, it's hot and windless, it's really difficult, and it can't compare to the cool and comfortable summer of the former residence.

In a drowsy state, I heard footsteps, followed by a knock on the door. got up to open the door, and was sweating again at every turn, but fortunately, the courtyard door was empty, so he raised his breath and said loudly: "Come in yourself." ”

Bai Yi fanned the fan and came in by himself, and at a glance, he saw that Xiyun was only wearing a red silk shirt, and he was half-lying on the chaise longue in a lazy posture, with his neckline wide open, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.

Except in the barracks or on the school field, when the hot man would roll up his sleeves and expose his arms, he had never seen anyone so "unclothed", not even the wind and willow who accompanied the wine that day had never dressed like this.

Poor clothes are a last resort, and Bai Yi's education since he was a child also attaches great importance to grooming, and he is not good at behaving properly, but he will never dare to meet customers like Xiyun.

If you talk about deviance, Bai Yi is definitely the first person in his heart, and Xu Yanzhen, the representative of this word in General Xu's heart, is nothing compared to him.

"Is it so informal to see people on weekdays?" Bai Yijing found a place to sit down, looked into his eyes, and said jokingly.

"I don't see anyone on weekdays." Xiyun said expressionlessly, the weather was too hot, and he was tired of even making an expression.

Bai Yi choked him with his words, and found a chair to sit down.

In the palace, ice cubes will be placed in the house in the summer, Bai Yi doesn't think the weather is hot, and now he hasn't been sitting in Yanguilou for long, he feels slightly sweating, and the frequency of fanning his hands is faster, and he blurted out: "You are really hot here!" ”

Xiyun Danfeng glanced at him lightly, and said lightly: "My temple is small and can't afford ice, of course it's hot." Although he doesn't know Bai Yi's specific identity, he can see from his clothes, words and deeds that he is either rich or expensive, and such a person can afford to use ice. Of course, Xiyun was not interested in Bai Yi's identity, and he didn't mean anything else when he said this.

Shangdu is hot in summer and frozen in winter, so it will store ice cubes in the ice cellar every winter for summer use. Located on the west side of the palace, to the northwest of the Dingkang Gate, there are five semi-underground buildings in the shape of an east-west direction, which are ice cellars used to hide ice. The underground part of the ice cellar is about six feet deep, the wall is about eight feet thick, the ground is paved with large stones, the four walls are from top to bottom, first use the stones to lay the bottom and then lay a layer of bricks, the collected ice blocks from the inside to the outside, from the bottom to the top, all the way to the top of the cellar, an ice cellar can hide more than 5,000 pieces of ice.

In the second half of the winter solstice every year, clean water is stored in the cleaned moat, and when thick ice is formed in the deep winter, the officers of the Ministry of Industry and Water Division will come to cut the ice, and then transport the ice cut into one foot and five inches square to the ice cellar for storage. In the summer palace, each palace can receive a corresponding amount of ice cubes according to their rank, and the emperor will also give ice cubes to the palaces of the ministers of the court.

Because of the huge cost of building ice cellars, the ice stored in folk ice cellars is generally used for profit, although the rich and noble families can also afford to use ice, but most of them are used to make shaved ice or ice water to cool down, and will not be directly used to cool down.

Bai Yi smiled and suggested: "I have a courtyard in the southern suburbs, built near the water, much cooler than in the city, do you want to move there to live?" Seeing that Xiyun didn't answer, he continued, "It's a thank you for helping me with advice." ”

Xiyun couldn't stand the heat, so after thinking about it, he nodded, "Okay." Last time you spent the night at the bottom of the well, how did you and that Lin Gongzi progress? ”

Speaking of this, Bai Yi neatly put away the folding fan with one hand, put it in the center of his eyebrows, and sighed deeply and said, "There is no progress." He came to Xiyun for this matter, Lin Bining was always polite and polite to him, since he left the Lin Mansion last time, he hadn't met Lin Bining for several days, and he doubted that if he didn't go to Lin Bining, the other party didn't know him.

"One thing is no different from war, attacking the heart first, and attacking the game second. And people's hearts are unpredictable, and attacking hearts is much more difficult than attacking cities. Now that you've only played a game, you're getting agitated. If that's the case, I advise you to give up this Lin Gongzi as soon as possible. Xiyun sneered faintly, and the spoon and porcelain bowl made a crisp sound.

"You, I'm just sighing, when did you say you were going to give up. If I really want to give up, why should I come to you on this hot day to ask for advice? Bai Yi bent the corners of his mouth helplessly, it took eighteen years to meet a Lin Bining, how could he let go!

"It's a good idea, there is one thing ......" Xiyun remembered Lin Bining who she saw at the bottom of the well that day, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Well, what's the matter? It's okay for you to say it directly. Xiyun has always spoken to him directly, and he doesn't know what made him vomit.

"You have been with Lin Changru for a long time, do you think he, well, is a little strange?" Xiyun asked tactfully.

Bai Yi recalled, shook his head and said, "I don't feel this way. ”

"You also know that I have been in Yanguilou for a long time, and I have seen many men, but Lin Changru does not give me the feeling of any man I have met before." Xiyun said slowly while choosing words.

"Huh?" Thousands of people have thousands of faces, everyone gives people a different feeling, Bai Yi felt very normal, and looked at Xiyun in confusion.

"I don't feel like Lin Gongzi is a man." Seeing that he didn't understand, Xiyun said bluntly.

"Hah!" Bai Yi looked at him in surprise and blurted out a sentence, "You mean Changru is a eunuch!" "Don't blame Bai Yi for thinking so, a man who is not like a man is not the most common eunuch in the palace!

"Ahem, ahem!"

Xiyun was choked hard when he heard this, and it took a long time to recover, wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and glared at him: "When did I say that he was a eunuch!" I suspect that Lin Changru may be a woman disguised as a man, not a real man. ”

"It can't be!" Bai Yi immediately denied, "Lin Changru has always grown up in the Lin family, if he is a woman, it is impossible for the people of the Lin family not to know, unless he ......"

Xiyun continued: "Unless this Lin Changru is not the real Lin Changru, it was the woman who pretended to be later." ”

Bai Yi felt a headache, some time ago he just found out that Zhao Yicheng of the Lin Mansion might be fake, and now Xiyun said that the young master of the Lin Mansion is also fake, could it be that their family is fake!

He rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "I didn't find anything unusual when I got along with Changru, how did you come to such a ridiculous conclusion?" ”

"A man usually has a protrusion in his throat, but I found Lin Changru here last time. Of course, some of the men's ones are not obvious here, and it does not rule out the possibility that I didn't see them clearly last time. Xiyun stroked his throat and said.

Bai Yi was about to lose to him, and said helplessly: "So, you don't have any evidence to prove it, everything is just your feelings?" ”

Xiyun hooked her lips, smiled a little evilly, and said, "Actually, this question is easy to prove. ”
