Li Ang has not taken a bath for a long time, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, there is no solar water heater, and there is no heating, taking a bath in the winter is a very luxurious thing, even if it is a rich nobleman, he will not take a bath often, let alone ordinary ordinary people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the entire Chang'an City, only the emperor Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan will go to the Huaqing Pool at the foot of Lishan Mountain from time to time to bathe, after all, there is a royal hot spring there, and the natural hot springs are inexhaustible, which is very suitable for bathing.

But Huaqing Pond is the emperor's bathing place, except for Emperor Li Longji, no one has the right to take a bath, and even run to take a look, unless the emperor is extraordinarily gracious.

However, taking a bath is not a big deal, for people in the era of the Tang Dynasty, even if they don't take a bath in winter, it is not a big deal, and any elite class will never make a request to the emperor because of this kind of thing, and Li An will certainly not risk making the emperor unhappy for such a thing.

Of course, after all, Ang Lee came from later generations and knew much more knowledge than people of this era, and even if there was no hot spring, he could enjoy the same enjoyment as hot springs.

As long as the bathroom is well built to ensure that the temperature does not dissipate too quickly, it is completely possible to create an environment that is more comfortable than a hot spring, so that you can take a good look at it and enjoy the rare free time.

It will take half an hour to finish the work in the greenhouse, and it will take some time to boil hot water, that is, it will take at least half an hour for Li Ang to take a comfortable bath.

"Look, General, it's all done as you asked."

The craftsman walked into the bathroom and introduced with a smile.

Li An looked left and right, and praised the craftsmen with a few words of satisfaction, these craftsmen did a really good job, every detail was done very carefully, and not even a trace of flaws could be found, which was very commendable.

"Big brother, what is this big pool for, is it used for bathing, how much water does it need!"

"Big brother, this is too much of a loser! Bathing in such a large pool, Your Majesty is afraid that he will not be such a loser today! ”

Li Kunxiong and Li Feiyu were both surprised, this pool is indeed very large, there is no problem for more than a dozen people to take a bath together, and the waste of hot water is naturally very much, and the hot water has to be boiled with firewood.

In the Tang Dynasty, which is relatively scarce in materials, this practice is a serious waste of resources, although there is no shortage of water resources in this era, and no one will deliberately save water, but firewood is to be bought with money, especially in Chang'an City, a metropolis with a population of one million, the demand for firewood is very huge, therefore, the price of firewood is also high, so that it costs a lot of money to burn so much hot water, this is not a loser and what is it?

However, in order to enjoy life, Ang Lee naturally doesn't care about this money, money? Originally, it was something outside the body, what is a person trying to make money, isn't it just enjoyment?

Even Emperor Li Longji knew that from time to time he took his delicate daughter-in-law to Huaqing Pool to bathe, and enjoyed a comfortable life beautifully.

In order to keep warm, the walls of the bathroom were three feet thick and divided into two small rooms, the outer one was naturally a place to change clothes, and the inner one was a large bath and a small open space where wooden barrels could be placed.

There is a small doorway between the inside and the outside, and in order to prevent the water vapor from drifting outside, a silk horse is hung on the inside and outside of the small doorway to block the water vapor.

In addition, two fireplaces were built on the outer side of the inner and outer walls, so that by lighting a firewood in the fireplace, the temperature of the inner and outer rooms could be heated at the same time, and the entire bathroom would be filled with a warm heat wave.

"There's nothing wrong with this fireplace!"

Li An pointed to the two fireplaces in the bathroom and asked seriously.

"General, there is absolutely no problem with this, the villain can guarantee it."

"Then you'll have to give it a try, you guys get some firewood and try the effect."

The people in Li An's mansion are busy, some are busy working in the vegetable greenhouse, some are cooking in the front yard, and the few remaining slaves are not materials for rough work at first glance, so Li An decisively let these craftsmen be responsible for burning the fireplace.

These craftsmen have done everything, and they have burned earthen stoves at home, and of course there is no difficulty in burning the fireplace, and a few people come to the nearest place to take the wood waste left over from the work, fill it in the fireplace, and light some hay and stuff it into the door of the fireplace.

Soon, a large amount of wood waste in the fireplace was ignited by the fire, the walls were baked very hot, and then the temperature of the whole bathroom began to increase significantly, and there was a warm feeling.

"General, what do you think of the effect?"

The craftsmen naturally felt the warmth and said happily.

Li An smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, it's not early, you go to the front yard to eat first!" ”

"Yes, General Xie."

Due to the need to catch up with the construction period, almost all the craftsmen eat and live in Li An's mansion, anyway, Li An's mansion is big enough, and these craftsmen never pick and choose, there is no problem with a dozen people living in a side room, and even stuffing twenty people, they have no opinion, of course, there are also those who miss their mother-in-law very much, and will choose to return to their own homes and rush back early the next morning.

Half an hour ago, Li An and the others had already had a snack, so they were not hungry at this time, and it would take a little time to take a bath, Li An felt that he would take a rest first, after all, taking a hot bath was also very physically demanding.

In addition to the freshly built cabinets outside the bathroom, there are also a few freshly made rocking chairs, which Ang Lee specially arranged to put here, in order to be able to lie comfortably on them after taking a bath and enjoy the fun of life.

At this time, the temperature inside the bathroom was already relatively high, and wearing thick cotton clothes, Li An and the others already felt a little hot and unbearable, so they all took off the outermost cotton clothes and lay on the rocking chair to close their eyes and recuperate.

"Big brother, it feels really comfortable to lie on the rocking chair in the greenhouse in the winter!"

"Yes! The eldest brother is getting more and more able to enjoy, in order to take a bath, he also built a bathroom that can take a bath, what a loser! However, I also want to be a loser, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will also build such a bathroom in my home, and lie in it when I have nothing to do, how comfortable it is! ”

Li An closed his eyes and shook his body, and said comfortably: "Life? After all, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, we may lose the opportunity to enjoy at any time, so why not seize such a rare opportunity to relax ourselves? ”

"Big brother thinks that we will soon lose this kind of life?"

"Big brother, the land has been pacified, Tubo has also been defeated by my Tang Dynasty, the Turks are even more slumped, collapse is imminent, and the two Tibetans in the northeast are not to worry, so what else do we have to worry about?"

Li An closed his eyes and smiled: "You are too optimistic, I have so many neighbors in Datang, there is a possibility of making trouble at the border at any time, and the things on the border will not stop, in addition, your eldest brother is so capable, even if there is no war at the border, Your Majesty will not let me be idle, wait!" After the Chinese New Year, His Majesty will definitely not let us be idle. ”

After all, Li An and the others are all courtiers who lead the Tang Dynasty, how can they be idle all the time, and the royal food cannot be eaten in vain, and if they receive the emperor's money, they will naturally share their worries for His Majesty the Emperor.

However, Ang Lee is never afraid of any challenge, whether it is marching to fight a war, or being an official to solve a case, Ang Lee will not lose to anyone, even if Li Longji gives him a civilian official, he can do a good job.

The comfortable and comfortable time is always relatively short, Li An and a few people shook on the rocking chair, and soon more than half an hour passed, Zhao Liu ran into the bathroom in small steps, and was stunned there.

The temperature of the bathroom is very high, it should be said that it is very comfortable, Zhao Liu feels that as soon as he enters, he will be surrounded by a heat wave, and the whole person has an indescribable comfort.

"What's the matter, is the hot water boiling?"

"Yes, Ah Lang, the hot water has been boiled in the front yard and is about to be delivered."

Li An nodded: "Let them pour hot water into the pool inside, in addition, pour cold water so that the temperature of the bath is just right for bathing, in addition, five buckets of hot water and five buckets of cold water should be prepared outside the pool to add at any time." ”

"Yes, Ah Lang, I'll go and prepare."

Zhao Liu's farts went to direct his subordinates to transport hot and cold water, while Li An was still comfortably lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed.

Of course, as the temperature in the bathroom continued to rise, Li An and the others had fewer and fewer clothes, and finally there were only underwear left.

In the middle of winter, the feeling of closing your eyes in the warm rocking chair in your underwear is definitely the ultimate pleasure, and of course, it is even more refreshing if you can have a few ****** come over for a massage.

More than a dozen servants carried cold and hot water into the bathroom, poured the water in the bucket into the large bath, and then continued to the front yard to carry water.

Listening to buckets of hot and cold water, poured into the big bath, Li An's heart is very comfortable, as long as the pool is close to the full pool, you can take a hot bath comfortably.

"Whoa, whoa...... Whoa......"

As buckets of hot and cold water poured into the bath, the pool soon approached full.

"Ah Lang, the water in the pool is almost there, and the temperature is just right."

Zhao Liu personally tested the temperature with his hands and returned to the outside to report.

Li An opened his eyes gently, stood up, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, you are all tired for a day, hurry up and go to the front yard to eat!" ”

"Yes, Aaron."

Zhao Liu took the servants who had been tired for a day and went to the front yard for dinner.

Ang Lee, Kunxiong and Fei Yu stripped off the last of their underwear, hung a towel and walked into the inner room of the bathroom, and moved the light water surface with their hands.

"The temperature is just right, let's go down!"

Ang Lee took the lead in stepping into the bath and squatted down comfortably, it felt really cool!

"Oh...... Ah......h

The three of them all let out a tone of enjoyment.

In the cold winter, lying in the warm hot water, the feeling is still in detail.

After soaking comfortably for a while, Li An and the three of them were a little tired, and left the pool, lying on the stone platform at the edge of the pool, and from time to time picked up a handful of water and sprinkled it on his body, talking about some light topics.

"A-a-lang, A-a-lang."

Zhao Liu, who was full of food and drink, entered the bathroom, and saw Li An lying still with his eyes closed, so he hurriedly called a few times.

"Zhao Liu, you ate so quickly?"

"Yes, Ah Lang, Zhao Liu is full, let's come to see if Ah Lang wants to serve."

Zhao Liu asked with a concerned face.

"Zhao Liu, do you know how to take a bath?"

Zhao Liu hurriedly shook his head: "Ah Lang, this Zhao Liu really can't, but, I have already asked just now, there are six maids in the family who can take a bath, and now they are waiting outside, do you want them to come in and serve Ah Lang." ”

The corner of Li An's mouth smiled easily, he had to say that Zhao Liu was a very qualified dogleg, he could think about everything very thoughtfully, and he had two brushes, no wonder the original owner could let him be a housekeeper.

"We're all lying naked like this, it's not appropriate to let the maid come in and serve!"

Ang Lee actually thought the same way, but in order to reflect his integrity and nobility, he deliberately backed down.

Zhao Liu is an old fox, he has long learned to understand people's hearts, how can he not understand Li An's thoughts, besides, all normal men in the world are not the same? The so-called integrity and not being close to women are just deliberately pretending, it's okay to deceive fools, it's impossible to hide from him Zhao Liu.

"Ah Lang is an upright person at a glance, but when the nobles of each family bathe, they are all served by maids, which is like this in Datang, there is nothing wrong with it, Ah Lang will get used to it after a few adaptations, so I let them in?"

As soon as Zhao Liu finished speaking, he walked out, not waiting for Li An's consent at all.

Li An opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, but he held back, in fact, at this moment, Li An only wanted to say two words in his heart, 'bosom friend'!

After all, Li An had already shown his integrity just now, and Zhao Liu once again proposed to let the maid come in to serve, if Li An nodded and agreed, wouldn't the previous pretense be revealing, so Zhao Liu didn't wait for Li An to answer, and immediately invited the six maids in.

In this way, even if this kind of thing spreads, it is Zhao Liu's insistence on flattering the master, and the upright master Li An, under the difficulty of being gracious, has no choice but to accept such an arrangement in order not to hit the loyalty of the servant.

This is a completely different concept from Ang Lee's offer to ask the maid to come and serve, so that you can enjoy comfortable treatment, and at the same time, it will not affect your own compulsion, giving people a feeling that this is not the case with my intention.

Under Zhao Liu's arrangement, the six maids had already changed into light and thin clothes outside the bathroom, and at this moment, Zhao Liu, who saw him walking out, gave a look and hurriedly lined up and walked into the bathroom.

Now that things have been arranged, of course Zhao Liu will not continue to stay in the bathroom and affect the enjoyment of the master, so he walked out of the bathroom with interest and gently closed the bathroom door. (To be continued.) )
