"Master Hou, this pool is ingenious, luxurious and extravagant, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money, right?"

"It costs money to secondly, mainly it consumes labor and material resources, this swimming pool uses a total of nearly 6,000 tiles, all of which are transported from Nanyang, the road is far away, and it takes more than half a month to transport a trip, plus the damage and supplies along the way, there is a suspicion of labor and money, so I didn't plan to use it to repair this swimming pool at first, but the factory developed a magical building material last month, which can turn mud into stone, so I used it to build this swimming pool to verify its practicality......"

"Clay to stone, goo...... Honk...... Ahem...... What Hou Ye said is true? Fusu was so excited that he sank directly into the water, and hurriedly came out and coughed constantly.

"Naturally, it's true, but it's still in the experimental stage, and the output is very limited, but it seems that it is still successful through the current experiment, and Childe saw that the water tower didn't ......" Chen Xu pointed to a towering water tower not far from the swimming pool.

"Water towers? Could it be the water system that recently came out of the Academy of Sciences? Fusu's eyes lit up.

The water tower is more than ten meters high, not to mention in the courtyard, this tall building can be seen clearly even from the outside of the Qinghe Courtyard, if it is not for the big trees in the yard, people with good eyes can see it clearly from a distance of seven or eight miles, so Fusu has long seen this strange thing in Chen Xu's house, but he has been holding back and not speaking.

"Exactly, let's go, I'll accompany my son to see the water tower and tap water!"

At this time, he had been soaking in the water for about twenty minutes, his body was cool and refreshed, at the invitation of Chen Xu, Fusu climbed out of the swimming pool and came to the edge of the water tower, Chen Xu first told Fusu roughly how the tap water works, and then took Fusu to the bathroom and toilet to watch the squatting pit and flush toilet for flushing, as well as the bathtub and basin, and also personally experienced the magic faucet and shower.

The faucet is cast in steel and then treated with enamel technology, a faucet is vivid and smooth in appearance, and the water will come out when the handle is lifted, and the water flow can be cut off when the handle is closed.

Fusu Gui is the eldest prince, although he has no power and no power, but the food and clothing are the best in the world, and his knowledge is naturally extraordinary, but he was completely conquered by this magical faucet in an instant, and he curiously broke and closed the handle for a long time, but then Chen Xu let him experience the shower, so His Royal Highness the eldest prince began to study this shower head made of bamboo connected by a cowhide pipe, but soon Chen Xu poured a soak of urine in the toilet next to him, and then broke the handle on the side, and there was a sound of running water, The snow-white ceramic toilet was flushed clean in an instant, so the eldest prince came over with great interest and took a soak of urine and studied it to flush the toilet.

Back on the edge of the pool, lying on the lounge chairs under the pergola, Fusu's mind was full of the shadows of faucets, showerheads and flush toilets.

"Go get the vinegar and popsicles!" After Chen Xu lay down, he instructed the little maid next to him.

"Yes, Master Hou!" The two little maids saluted and turned to leave.

Soon the two little maids brought a wooden barrel covered with animal skins and linen cloth, and when it was opened, there was ice water in it, and several bottles of fruit vinegar were soaked in the ice water, and in the center of the barrel was an iron cylinder, and in the iron bucket there was a wooden lattice, and in each lattice was a flat bamboo stick.

Chen Xu grabbed a bamboo stick in the wooden lattice, shook it a few times, pulled out a green popsicle, and stuffed it into the hand of Fusu who was in a daze: "Childe, come and eat a mung bean paste popsicle!" ”

The cold air of the popsicle brought Fu Su Bing back to his senses, and he didn't know how to say it when he looked at the strange thing in his hand.

"Childe eat quickly, the weather is hot and hot!" When Chen Xu spoke, he also pulled out a popsicle, and he took a bite very comfortably while lying on the recliner, and couldn't help but say loudly: cool~

Fusu also learned to lick it, his whole body shook, and then he couldn't wait to stick out his tongue and add it vigorously.

This popsicle is made of boiled and mashed mung bean paste, and there is some honey and fruit vinegar in it, which is sweet and sour and refreshing.

"You guys eat too~" Looking at the two little maids swallowing saliva, Chen Xu hummed with his eyes half-closed.

"Thank you, Master Hou!" The two little maids suddenly took out a popsicle from the barrel excitedly, and then closed the barrel and hid to the side to lick it.

"Wow, my brother won't let us eat popsicles, he actually ate them secretly!" Xing'er, who was playing in the water, looked back at Chen Xu, Fusu and the two little maids who were serving eating popsicles, and suddenly shouted and climbed to the shore.

"I also want to eat popsicles, Brother Xiaoxu will leave me a few!" Yu Ji was naturally not to be left behind, her little hands and feet in the water and slashed hard to swim to the shore, seeing that Xing'er had climbed to the shore, her mouth suddenly deflated.

Chen Xu didn't bother to pay attention to it, the two little girls are simply the reincarnation of foodies, especially popsicles, since they were invented, they can't wait to eat all day long, but Chen Xu is afraid that they will eat too much stomach discomfort or catch a cold, so they can't eat more than three a day, and Chen Xu himself only eats three by example, so the two little girls are quite obedient, but now Chen Xu will definitely not be able to eat secretly.

The two girls rushed to the edge of the barrel one after the other, and couldn't wait to lift the lid of the barrel and grab two of them.

"Stop, one for each person!" Chen Xu's voice was slightly stern.

Xing'er was afraid that she would be beaten again because she was disobedient and reached Chen Jiang's ears, so she had to put the extra one back, Yu Ji pinched two popsicles and whispered: "Brother Xiaoxu, Ziying can't eat it, can I eat it for him!" ”

"No way!" Chen Xu did not budge at all.

"Then shall I give it to the baby?"

"Good!"

So Yu Ji ran to the edge of the pool with two popsicles and beckoned to Ziying: "Come and eat popsicles, but let me eat two bites first, okay?" ”

Ziying looked at the two green things, and didn't know what they were, so she nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

"Click~" The little girl opened her mouth and took a bite, the mung bean paste popsicle was instantly reduced by a quarter, and after a while, the popsicle was only half left, and the little girl was satisfied with handing the popsicle to Ziying, so Ziying took it and took a bite, and the popsicle fell into the water with a snort of ice, but when he swallowed the sweet and sour delicious popsicle and then went to the water to look for the popsicle, he finally picked it up, and the mung bean paste had melted into the pool, and only a bamboo stick was left in his hand.

"Wow!" Ziying cried with her mouth open, looking for the delicious popsicles that disappeared in the pool, and Mrs. Fusu hurriedly went up to coax her son, looking very embarrassed.

"Crying, be careful that the old man beats you!" Fusu felt embarrassed, sat up and scolded loudly, Chen Xu had no choice but to sit up with black lines on his head, God old man, you are in your twenties and just an adult.

Shui Qingrou hurriedly instructed the maid to take a popsicle again for Ziying, and finally coaxed the future successor of the Great Qin Empire into laughter.

After such a fuss, almost everyone got up from the pool, Yu Wuya was also drenched and took a popsicle and lay next to Chen Xu to eat, and the water also took two sticks, one of which was handed to Mrs. Fusu, and the two women sat on the other side of the pergola to talk, and the three children stopped making trouble at this time, gathering together to squat on the sand and eat popsicles.

"Childe has another bottle of frozen fruit vinegar!" After Fusu finished eating a popsicle, Chen Xu handed him a bottle of fruit vinegar, with a thin wheat stalk inserted in the mouth of the bottle, and he took a sip, and his whole body was cold.

"The life of Master Hou's family makes Fusu envious!" Fusu looked at the swimming pool in front of him, lying on the recliner and drinking fruit vinegar, looking at the group of delicate maids in short skirts around him, and felt that he was really a little aggrieved and not up to grade as a big prince.

"What is the relationship between Childe and Li Xiang on weekdays?" Chen Xu asked after lying down again.

Fu Su shook his head slightly and whispered: "Master Hou should have heard that I don't agree with Li Xiang's philosophy, and I have no contact with him on weekdays!" ”

Chen Xu was silent for a long time, and then waved his hand to let a few maids carry the popsicle bucket to the water and said: "Your Majesty promised to make me a young master in the court and teach Ziying how to govern the country, but he also asked Li Si to teach Hu Hai Gongzi, and Hu Hai Gongzi's previous teacher was Zhao Gao, some of these things are confusing, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, this time Zhao Gao can escape from death, I am afraid that it is related to Hu Hai Gongzi, I am afraid that in the future something will happen that even His Majesty cannot control!" ”

Fu Su sat up suddenly, and looked at Chen Xu with a serious face: "Why did the Marquis of Qinghe say this?" ”

"Your Majesty is reluctant to set up a prince, and the Manchu Dynasty has suspicions in his heart, why does the prince ask me?" Chen Xu said softly with a calm face.

After Fusu's face changed for a long time, he lay down and muttered: "Your Majesty is now prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is reasonable not to establish a prince!" ”

"Hehe, don't deceive yourself, Childe is out of the mountain to assist Your Majesty, just for Daqin is very prosperous and prosperous, but if you can't understand Your Majesty's thoughts, I'm afraid that one day this hard work will be in vain, Gongzi is the eldest son of the emperor, some things can't be said, but some things must be done, many things must be arranged secretly in advance, otherwise once something uncontrollable happens, I am afraid that I will be very passive and panicked!"

Chen Xu's words fell on Fusu's ears, and his soul trembled like winter thunder, and he turned his head to look at Chen Xu with a look of horror: "Fusu is stupid, please make it clear!" ”

"Your Majesty used to raise Fang Dao warlocks in the palace to refine the elixir, and searched for rare elixirs all over the world in the hope of immortality, but there are no immortals in the world, and the son is smart, so he naturally knows what I mean, so everything must be planned in advance......"

"Xu heard that the prince respects Confucius and Mencius, and should know that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the king is light, the love between father and son is not as great as the people of the world and the world, Li Si is too heavy on power and magic, and now the Great Qin needs to be light and thin, cultivate and raise the people, if Your Majesty establishes the prince, no matter which prince will let the courtiers feel at ease and assist, but Your Majesty has been slow to stand, if there is a sudden change, how should the prince deal with himself?"

"I wait for the foreign ministers can only listen and see and can't interfere, Zhao Gao is vicious, good at flattery, secretly killed more than 200 people, but His Majesty actually connived at his crimes, just sent them to Shu as slaves, this is not the way of governing the country of the Ming monarch, not that I slandered Your Majesty behind my back, but I am worried that Your Majesty will go on like this, the law is not prosperous, the morality is not good, the program is often chaotic, and the subjects are centrifugal, once Your Majesty dies after the Great Qin will be in chaos, the prince is the great prince, and he can't sit back and watch the chaos in public and private, if Li Si assists Hu Hai to ascend the throne in the future, Has Childe ever thought about the consequences? ”

Fusu couldn't lie down anymore, sat up and stared at the swimming pool in front of him with a sluggish expression on his face, stayed for three minutes, and finally turned his head to look at Chen Xu and said, "Master Hou...... Difficult...... Do you know something......

"The sky is unpredictable, Xu doesn't dare to talk nonsense, just make some speculations based on some mental warnings and the current changes in the court, but the so-called good planner goes far, people have no long-term worries, and the prince is worried about the emperor at the moment, but have you ever thought about what to ......do if this matter is not successful."

"Gongzi asked the emperor to let Ziying worship me as a teacher, and Gongzi is a well-known person for benevolence and righteousness, I also think that Ziying has the assets of the emperor, so I agreed to it, but regardless of the ancient and modern gifts, Ziying categorically cannot directly ascend the throne as the emperor, and if Gongzi cannot be established as a prince by His Majesty, this matter must be weird, and now Li Si has become the teacher of Gongzi Hu Hai, no matter what the reason, if there is a sudden change, Li Si will inevitably recommend Hu Hai to the throne, and Ziying's identity will make Hu Hai jealous, which may be unfavorable to him......"

"Click!"

The fruit vinegar bottle in Fusu's hand was directly crushed to the bottleneck, and the broken pottery shards stabbed the skin, and blood dripped down the pottery bottle.
