Wang Qun didn't know if it was his own delusion, until the last time he talked to Zhen Qian about the possibility of splitting up, he poured out the current situation of the Zhen family, and secretly reminded him of the impact of the separation, since then, Zhen Qian once seemed to have eased up, and did not ask about the separation again, but Wang Qun knew that Zhen Qian's surveillance of the criminal family and the criminal housekeeper had never relaxed, and the criminal housekeeper's incriminating evidence had caught a lot of it, but there was no movement, and he appeared in front of the criminal family once in ten days and half a month, and his words were full of respect, I don't see any movement at all.

The more this happened, the more Wang Qun felt that Zhen Qian had become unfathomable, just like a hunter staring at his prey in the dark, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

Of course, Wang Qun can't say that the criminal housekeeper is not only aimed at Zhen Qian, but also takes a fancy to his position as the big housekeeper, Zhen Qian probably knows this in his heart, but he has never mentioned it in person.

Now that Zhen Qian mentioned the matter of the ice cellar again, his tone was calm and tepid, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, and he did not scold like thunder, but instead made Wang Qun feel a sense of oppression that was about to come, maybe the time to see the poor dagger was not far away.

The group dozed off while talking in the shade of the tree, and waited until the sun began to turn westward, and Wang Qun saw that the time was not early to set off to return to the county seat.

When the convoy was about to walk out of the valley, there was an exclamation from the front, and the convoy immediately stopped, Zhen Qian was lying on the carriage, his face was covered with a wet silk handkerchief, he felt that the carriage had stopped, and he got up and asked, "What happened, why did the convoy stop?" ”

"Looks like something happened up front?" A coachman replied.

Zhen Qian jumped down from the carriage and walked quickly to the front of the line, only to see Wang Qun standing on the side of the road, several coachmen carrying a person on the carriage on the side of the road, with ragged clothes, eyes closed, and two bundles of firewood scattered on the ground, "What happened?" ”

Wang Qun commanded a coachman, poured the water in his skin bag into the man's mouth, and turned around and said, "Da Lang, this woodcutter has fainted from heat stroke, and the situation is a little unoptimistic?" ”

"Heat stroke!" Zhen Qian pushed aside the crowd, looked at the carriage, and asked, "Is there vomiting, cramps, etc.?" ”

"Is that enough?" Wang Qun looked at the man again and said, "Just now I saw that this woodcutter on the side of the road has fainted, and there are still some dry food around him. ”

"It's good if it's not serious!" Zhen Qian looked at the man lying on the carriage, and saw that the man was thin, but he gave people the illusion of being powerful, so he said, "Are you sure this is a woodcutter?" ”

Wang Qunzai looked at the man carefully, instinctively told him that the man who seemed to be a woodcutter was not simple, checked the man's palm, frowned slightly: "I'm afraid this person was not a woodcutter before, and judging from the outfit, it is also different from ordinary woodcutters, the calluses on this hand are thick and the texture is clear, I should have grabbed a knife before, just now I saw his firewood knife, it was also just used not long ago, obviously inexperienced in going into the mountains to chop firewood, I suspect that this person has been a soldier before?" ”

Zhen Qian was also a little skeptical just now, if he was a woodcutter, how could he get heat stroke if he often went into the mountains, this was one of them. Second, this person was also dressed in a problematic manner, although the clothes were ordinary, but he was dressed in linen with wide sleeves, which was obviously not suitable for chopping wood in the mountains. Finally, the muscles of this body, although they do not look prominent, they form a whole up and down, which is different from the muscles formed by the woodcutter chopping wood with his arm and climbing the mountain for a long time, a bit like a person who has practiced martial arts.

"I feel the same way, feed him a little light salt water, pay attention to ventilation, see if his body is hot, and wipe his body with a damp cloth?"

As long as there are no symptoms such as vomiting and cramps, it means that the heat stroke is not serious, and you should be able to wake up after resting.

"Then what should this person do now, it's not too early now, if you don't hurry now, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city?" Wang Qun looked at the man in the carriage and said.

"Bring it first! It's best if you can wake up on the road, and if you haven't woken up before returning to the city, take him into the city and send him to the Drunken Immortal Tower! ”

"That's the only way", Wang Qun nodded, and let people continue to hurry.

Zhen Qian is not a badly kind-hearted person, but if he doesn't save him when he sees death, he can't say it in his heart if he doesn't ask, and this is still a wilderness, if he really stays here, it's really hard to say whether he will die or live in the past night, and after thinking about it, the Tang Dynasty will not be met by himself, and he won't worry about the old man who kindly helped the old man on the side of the road to be entangled, so he will be a good person to the end and send the Buddha to the west.

Hurried all the way back to the city, the man on the road did not wake up, as soon as he entered the city, he immediately sent people to the Drunken Immortal Building, and asked him to find a doctor to come over and see what was going on, but he didn't want people to die in the Drunken Immortal Building, although he would not get into trouble, but he would always feel uncomfortable, so he returned to Zhen's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhen Qian took off his clothes and threw them away, picked up the cold water on the table and poured a few sips, and when the door was closed, he was not worried that someone would say that he was immoral, as for the two little girls around him, they had already been surprised, and they smiled and brought cold well water to wipe their bodies, and kept complaining.

"Zhu Rongnan came to whip the fire dragon, and the fire flag fireworks burned the sky red. The sun does not go away at noon, and all the nations are like in a furnace. ”

Zhen Qianyi casually popped up Wang Hub's "Bitter Heat Xing", I remember when I first read this poem, I sat in an air-conditioned room, holding an iced watermelon in my hand, drinking a cool drink, and I didn't feel any unbearable heat at all.

The ancients generally used ice cubes to cool down the summer, which is similar to the meaning of placing ice cubes in the classroom during the summer college entrance examination, and later the time of the college entrance examination was changed to June, and this kind of thing rarely happened.

Wealthy people will also build cool houses at home, cool houses are usually built by the water, using water circulation to promote the fan wheel to shake, the principle is like a folk waterwheel, the cool air in the water is slowly sent into the house, and there is directly pouring water on the roof, and then down along the eaves, making an "artificial water curtain", while cooling down, the cool air can also enter the house.

However, cool houses can only be built in places near mountains and rivers, and there are few such conditions and geography in the city, so they mainly use ice cubes, or put ice cubes into the sandwich wall and ice to cool the room.

Xiaozhu brought Zhen Qian a "half-arm suit", the half-arm suit can be regarded as an ancient short-sleeved shirt, and the two little girls are in the room, which is wearing a thin, transparent, and exposed "topless suit", this kind of costume is deeply liked by women in the Tang Dynasty, and it is more exposed than some avant-garde and bold outfits in later generations, but this kind of costume is not worn casually, at least it will not be worn in crowded situations, it is easy to arouse the lust of some disciples, such as Zhen Qian, who is not strong enough, often teases the two little girls, I often play at the end and play with fire.

Although the so-called "** outfit" in "The City Full of Golden Armor" directed by Zhang Yimou was criticized by many netizens for being too exposed and bold, the design inspiration was actually derived from the topless clothes of the Tang Dynasty.

"The weather is so hot, why don't you see anyone sending ice over", Zhen Qian said with his arm around Xiaozhu's thin waist.

Xiaozhu writhed in Zhen Qian's arms, and when he saw that Zhen Qian's arms were tighter, he said coquettishly: "Yes! Xiaomei and I also felt very strange, it was already midsummer, but I asked the criminal housekeeper, and the criminal housekeeper said that it was not the hottest time, so how many more days would we have to wait? ”

Zhen Qian muttered in his heart, and said quietly on his face: "At this time in previous years, did the family already send ice?" ”

"Hmm!" Xiaozhu thought for a moment and said: "In previous years, at this time, the ice should have been sent to the rooms, I heard that the Xing clan had moved to live in the igloo in the backyard a few days ago, damn it!" Xiaozhu suddenly thought of something, and his face turned cold, "It can't be that the criminal housekeeper is deducting the ice cubes in our yard again, right?" ”

"Just let the criminal housekeeper deduct it", Zhen Qian stood up and said: "I remember that there seems to be an ice check in the yard, let people take it out, wash it and bring it over?" ”

"Lang Jun, what are you going to do?" Xiaozhu was puzzled.

"Of course it's ice-making, could it be that the big living people will be suffocated to death by urine", Zhen Qian said with a smile.

At this time, Xiaomei walked in from outside the door, wearing a topless dress of the same color as Xiaozhu, but a darker light veil was draped on the outside, covering her white chest, but there was a faint charm.

"Sister Xiaomei, just now Lang Jun mentioned the use of ice in summer, do you know what's going on?"

Zhen Qian didn't plan to ask about this matter anymore, but he didn't expect Xiaozhu to keep thinking about it in his heart, so he saw Xiaomei's face change, and his tone became cold, "Lang Jun, the criminal housekeeper deceives people too much, I was just waiting for Lang Jun to come back and talk about this matter, but I didn't expect Xiaozhu to ask." Yesterday, I went to the children of the Zhen family next to me, and saw that someone had already sent ice over, so I asked the servants who sent the ice, who knew that there was not much ice in the ice cellar, and only the old and young and a few ladies in the Zhen Mansion could only be given priority, and the others did not have any this year? ”

"Oh! Did the criminal steward say this himself? ”

Zhen Qian heard Wang Qun talk about the ice cellar, last year's warm winter in the north, the Zhen family did not get enough ice, and the ice in the ice cellar was less than in previous years, but he should not reduce his summer ice.

Xiaomei stomped her foot and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but after asking a few servants to say so, I had to believe it?" ”

"Don't worry, you and Xiaozhu will go around the rooms tomorrow under the pretext of asking about this matter clearly, if you are really angry, you can go and ask the criminal steward face to face, why is there no ice for us this year, even if it makes a big fuss, it doesn't matter", Zhen Qianfeng suddenly changed his words and said: "The criminal steward thinks that he can show off his power in front of me in this way, and he also thinks that it is too simple!" ”

As soon as Zhen Qianyi said that he wanted to confront the criminal housekeeper face to face, Xiaomei became worried and said: "Lang Jun, if the criminal housekeeper really uses this year's lack of ice as an excuse, and says that it is mainly the old and young and the lady in the Zhen Mansion, I am afraid that I will be said to be ignorant of etiquette and what if I make a fuss?" ”
