The first day of the fifth month, the summer solstice

Today, Wang Lanling went to supervise the irrigation of farmland in the countryside in the morning, inspected the resettlement site in Hulushan in the afternoon, and when he returned home in the evening, he encountered welfare.

"Master, today the warehouse sent two boxes of lychees, as well as summer ice charcoal money, a total of fifteen yuan."

When Wang Lanling walked to the shop, Jin Ji came up and told Wang Lanling about it.

"Oh, I've forgotten about this when I'm busy, the summer solstice lychee festival...... You go buy some meat and hit half a bottle of bar. ”

Although it is a festival, it is basically just an ordinary tradition here, and there is no particularly lively atmosphere.

Wang Lanling explained, and it can be regarded as following the customs.

"Yes!" Kim Ji agreed, went to the kitchen to get the food basket, and went out to buy something.

Anu and Wang Lanling walked into the house together and said, "Master, the lady hasn't come back yet, the eldest lady and the little lady went to your sister-in-law to talk, and they won't come back until five o'clock." ”

It was just past four o'clock now, and it was not time to eat, so Wang Lanling took off his clothes and said, "It's too hot today, wipe my body." ”

"Good!" Anu agreed, and quickly went to get a towel and a clean basin of water.

Wang Lanling sat in the courtyard, where there was a silver metal pressure well, and at the outlet of the pressure well, there was a rectangular sink made of stone, in which two large watermelons with emerald green markings were settled.

There is also a wooden basin next to the sink, in which are placed dark lychees, all of which have been washed.

After washing his face with cool pool water, Wang Lanling sat on the bench on the side and picked up the lychees in the basin.

These lychees are very good-looking, after all, they are for Lord Wang to eat.

Peel off a dark red lychee and put it in your mouth.

The taste is okay, there is a lot of water, and it is also sweet.

Anu soon came out, and when Wang Lanling was eating lychees, he began to press the well to draw water, and used the cool underground well water that had just been brought from the ground to scrub Wang's body.

When the cold towel is gently stroked behind the back, the body is very cool by this cold touch!

Although the sun had not yet set, and even though I was sitting in a sunny place, the white clouds drifted by, and I felt cold, and when the sun came out of the clouds, I felt comfortable again, and the hairs on my body that were pressed down by the water gradually stood up, and I felt itchy.

The fatigue at work and the boredom caused by the hot weather have disappeared a lot.

Wang Lanling didn't want to eat a few lychees by himself, so he peeled off the husk of a lychee, turned around, and sent the crystal lychee to Anu's mouth, "Anu, give it to you." ”

Anu smiled, opened his mouth and lowered his head to lick the lychee in Wang Lanling's hand into his small mouth.

As Wang Lanling's maid, Jin Ji and Jin Nu will certainly not retreat from the gift of this master.

As long as Wang Lanling takes the initiative, there will be a story between them.

However, Wang Lanling didn't have any superfluous thoughts, this kind of thing was too troublesome.

After feeding Anu a lychee, Wang Lanling stood up and said, "I'll go to the study and sleep for a while." ”

"Yes!" Anu also stood up and followed.

On the side of the study, a large window and a small skylight were opened during the renovation, which happened to be the convective wind in summer.

In the study, there is a splicable wooden bed with a mat on top, where the ladies usually take a nap.

The study room is well arranged by Zhao Wenrou and Lei A, both of whom are people who can live.

Although Lei A always thinks that she is living a hard life and is trying to be a concubine, Wang Lanling seems that it is not like that, and she is too lazy to say anything.

Wang Lanling was a little sleepy, and because of running around today, he didn't have a lunch break.

At this time, lying on the cool bed, breathing in the residual fragrance of the ladies, he slowly closed his eyes.

By Wang Lanling's side, Anu held a pu fan and gently sent a breeze to Wang Lanling.

In the era when electricity did not exist, the standard of living between the people at the bottom of this feudal society and the bottom of modern society was the gap between heaven and earth.

However, the living conditions of the upper echelons of this era and the middle and lower classes of modern society are still comparable, especially in some rights, which are even more overwhelming.

The treatment in materials is limited and has a ceiling.

In terms of rights and privileges, at least Wang Lanling thinks that under this empire with decent scientific and technological development, it is still very powerful and freer.

Wang Lanling soon fell asleep, and in a daze, he had a dream, dreaming that someone was touching him underneath.

The sensation grew clearer, and soon, he opened his eyes.

After waking up, he saw Zhao Wenrou sitting beside him, still looking at him.

Wang Lanling got up quickly, feeling a lot of sweat on his back when he slept.

It's good that the shorts are still ......

Although they are both husband and wife, there is nothing to guard against, but some things are not clear, Wang Lanling still subconsciously protects himself.

"You're back, what time is it?" Wang Lanling didn't tease him, in that case, the gentle girl would definitely do what he planned and wouldn't be able to get out of bed.

Zhao Wenrou saw that Wang Lanling was awake, so he said: "It's half past five, Sister Lei A is picking vegetables in the backyard, husband, you are really well." ”

Wang Lanling ignored the last sentence, got off the bed, and only got a little more solid after his feet stepped on the floor.

"There's a lychee from the Kuradenori, you can taste it." As Wang Lanling spoke, he also put on the breathable summer clothes prepared by Anu on the side.

This kind of clothing is specially processed, very cool, and it dries very quickly after washing.

Although the fabric is thin, the color is dark, so it is not revealed, and it is probably a set of short-sleeved shorts for twenty yuan in modern society.

After Zhao Wenrou heard it, she said indifferently: "My mother also has it, in addition to lychee melons and fruits, she also gave some money ice tickets, that is, you can take it to the ice storage to cut ice, but I have an ice storage at home, and that kind of tickets are used by concubines and slaves." ”

Wang Lanling listened to Zhao's gentle and arrogant words, and said lazily: "Okay, okay, I know you are the Zhao family, and this winter, I will also build an ice library to play and let people go to the river to pick ice." ”

Zhao Wenrou said with a smile: "You don't need winter, you can use saltpeter and water to make ice, so many people in your family are studying chemistry, and they don't understand this~"

"Is there saltpeter here...... Wang Lanling soon lost his confidence, there are even explosives and guns here, how can there be no saltpeter?

it! Why do I always think of this place as ancient? Is it just because there is no electricity?

Zhao Wenrou saw that Wang Lanling didn't understand, so he explained: "Yes, there are a lot, in summer, put saltpeter in a small glass bottle and pour it into a water cup to make ice, and there will be ice cubes in more than half an hour." ”

Wang Lanling showed a contemplative look, "So, you can have a refrigerator?" ”

Zhao Wenrou explained: "Yes, yes, it's just too expensive, most of my family is made of ice cubes in winter, we don't have ice cubes at home, and it should be done to spend some money to make an ice storage, so it's cool and convenient to rest." ”

When it came to money, Wang Lanling was instantly relieved.

"Forget it, it's pretty cool now, there's groundwater, there's ice watermelon, and it's not hot this day, the freezer, let's talk about it in winter."

A high standard of living comes from power, wealth, and technology.
