Chapter 61: Depressing Tap Water

Curious about the concrete road, the girls quickly diverted their attention.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, it is impossible for any noblewoman with a normal brain to be half interested in such a thing as cement...... They may be a little curious, but when they know the origin of this thing, they will naturally put it aside.

For no other reason, it's really ugly!

Not to mention the good stones commonly used by the royal family and the big nobles, that is, ordinary large families and middle nobles, they must also be willing to spend money to lay stones at home, even if they don't like stones, they can also lay bricks, and pave them in a certain order or pattern, which is still quite good-looking

Cement, how do you compare with them?

It's dusty, and it can't make any patterns, and it's even rough and too hard, how "hardcore" should people who like it be?

Therefore, Fang Fengzhu, the hostess of Han Wang's Mansion, is actually full of helplessness.

Of course, he didn't want the inner courtyard where he and the king lived to be paved with this thing, and he liked the stone paved road before, but Li Yuanjia didn't care about her opinion at all, and insisted that it took ten days for his subordinates to pave this cement road, and in those days there was always a smell of lime wafting in the courtyard, and Fang Fengzhu had a headache when he thought of it.

As soon as this road is paved, the whole yard cannot be seen......

So when Wei Shuyue asked about another thing that made her care about, Princess Han immediately couldn't wait to pull her up and said, "This, this is called a water tank, which is used to store water!" ”

Pointing to what Wei Shuyue cared about, Fang Fengzhu's face showed a look of pride in meaning.

It was a platform about six feet high, made of stones, about five feet square, and on top of this not very high platform, there was a large box three feet square, about two feet high, which looked as if it was made of wood?

"Water tank? For water storage? ”

Just when Wei Shuyue was stunned when she heard this, she blinked her eyes and wondered what it meant to make a big box for storing water outside the house, Du Shi next to her couldn't wait to walk over, and asked as she walked: "Princess, is this the water tank you said when you came back last time?" Used to store that ...... What's that water called? ”

Hearing her say this, Fang Fengzhu suddenly smiled: "Sister-in-law, that's called tap water!" ”

"Yes, tap water!"

Nodding immediately, Du Shi took a closer look at the back of the water tank, and then shouted happily: "Sure enough, there is really a pipe connected to the back, and it leads all the way to the house!" ”

Listening to her talking happily over there, the other girls were also interested, and they stepped forward one by one to look and ask.

"Sister Bongzhu, what does this tap water mean? Do you have your own water? ”

"Pipe into the house? What is the use of this thing here? ”

"For water storage? So why do you put it so high? Wouldn't it be a hassle to fill it with water? ”

……

After spending half a pillar of incense, Fang Fengzhu explained to the sisters what tap water is and the principle of water flowing to a lower place, and took them to visit the bathroom in the house, so that the girls could see with their own eyes what it means to flush when it is used up.

Of course, everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

Du Shi's eyes widened even more, looking at the horse passage that made Sun Peng always difficult to say satisfied: "I have long known that there are many magical objects here in Fengzhu, including this tap water, and I finally saw it with my own eyes today." ”

"Hehe, it's all made by the king."

After smiling, Fang Fengzhu waved his hand and said: "And although these things seem convenient, there are also some troublesome places, such as the fact that these waters are easy to freeze in winter, and even once the pipe was frozen and cracked...... In addition, the water in the tank can easily get dirty and mixed up after a long time, so at the beginning we used tap water to wash our hands or something, but now it is used to flush here. ”、

Speaking of this tap water, Fang Fengzhu suddenly thought of the king's original face, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

When this set of tap water was first built, Li Yuanjia was really happy, and he always bragged to her about the convenience of this tap water from time to time in the past few days. But after using it for a month, Li Yuanjia found a problem, that is, after using the water tank for a period of time, it will produce a layer of disgusting things, even if people clean it several times, the water flowing out of it will have a good taste.

Since then, the king has never allowed the water to be used to wash his hands, let alone boil it for drinking.

Then, in the winter, when the water in the tank froze on the coldest days, and then the water pipes were even more frozen and cracked, he ordered the water pipes to be re-laid, and layers of straw were wrapped around the water pipes...... In the end, it was simply ordered that the tap water should not be used during the coldest two months of the year!

Anyway, tossing and turning, the king is not disappointed.

Until now, Fang Fengzhu still remembers that the king's face was quite ugly at that time, and he muttered, always saying that there was no disinfectant, no filtration or anything, anyway, she couldn't understand it, and she didn't dare to ask......

And after listening to her words, many ladies and ladies were also disappointed.

If it's just for punching...... Ahem, if you rush to the place, the attraction to them will drop dramatically. After all, all the people in this room are not ordinary people, not to mention washing their faces and rinsing their mouths, or bathing water, even changing clothes are served by special people, who cares about such a little bit of simplicity?

But even if they don't have that mind, everyone is amazed and envious of the wonderful ideas of this water tank and tap water.

Even if it's not practical, it looks new.

Not to mention the water tank and tap water pipes, even those mechanisms made by people that come out of the water with one twist and cut off the water with one twist, it makes people feel fun.

"Hey, I see!"

Just when everyone was disappointed, Wei Shuyue, who had been thinking about it, suddenly clapped her little hands and shouted: "Sister Fengzhu, since the water in the water tank is easy to get dirty, can it be replaced with mountain spring water?" There are clouds in "Lu's Spring and Autumn", the flowing water does not rot households, the pivot does not beetle, and the movement is ......"

"Huh?"

After listening to Wei Shuyue's words, Fang Fengzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was very surprised: "My sister is so smart, she actually thought of this method so quickly?" ”

"Huh? Who else thought of it? ”

After a pause, Wei Shuyue hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, naturally it's the king."

After smiling, Fang Fengzhu said softly: "It's just that the king also said that it is not too easy to find living water in this Chang'an City, and even if there is, the cost of leading it to the palace is too great, and it is not cost-effective...... Okay sisters, let's not stay here, how about hanging out and playing cards together? ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Hehe, I was about to say this, I came to the Han Wangfu, and finally I didn't have to be reluctant to use my own cards."

……

In the laughter of the crowd, everyone walked out of the "changing place". It's just that the other people's minds have obviously been removed, but Wei Shuyue has always frowned, and there is a strange light flashing in her eyes.

And then, at this moment, a casual glance made the observant girl immediately discover another oddity about the house.

After taking a closer look, the eyes of this girl who likes to ponder suddenly burst out, and her face showed a shocked look: "Sister Fengzhu, this, what is this?" ”u
