Chapter 5 The house must be renovated
Staying in the new house, Guo Yi felt a little tricky. Without him, it's just hygienic conditions!
Ordinary mansions in the Han Dynasty did not have sewers, and the toilet was a large pit with two boards. In order to avoid the stench, it is far away from the bedroom, and the problem can only be solved at night with a night pot. It doesn't hurt if there are maids and servants, they have their own hands on these matters. But where did Guo Yi get the money to ask for a maid?
If you want to solve this problem, you can only renovate and renovate! Introduce sewers and relatively modern flushing toilets. The waterways in the room should also be rearranged, at least to ensure that water is available at all times. And every room should be equipped with a flushing toilet.
Guo Yi studied industrial design, and his classmates and friends also studied interior design, environmental art, and architectural design. I have also designed some interior products myself. It's easy to rebuild an ancient sanitation system!
Craftsmen were invited, the drawings and specific requirements were stated, and they were delivered to them for construction. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Taoism was not yet in full bloom. Taiping Dao has just been suppressed, the Wudoumi Sect has not yet been introduced to the Central Plains, and other scattered sects have not yet become mainstream. So, the craftsmen will not have any opinion on Feng Shui.
The most important thing is that in this world, it is good for someone to ask for it, where do you dare to make irresponsible remarks about the employer's requirements?
Zhao was puzzled: "Why does Engong want to build a large number of buildings? Isn't this house very good? ”
"It's not just about building a lot of buildings. I'm going to educate you a lot. ”
"Engong ......" Zhao blushed all of a sudden, and said shyly: "This kind of thing, let's talk about it at night." ”
"Where do you want to go?" The house was not rebuilt, and Guo Yi was not in the mood at all. What he wants to educate is physiological and hygienic knowledge! Although Zhao's mother and daughter are more clean because they are women. But I don't care about bathing and changing clothes, and in this era, taking a shower half a month is even more exquisite. As for brushing your teeth and washing your face, there is also some private hygiene, which is not scientific at all.
In ancient times, the rouge used by women for makeup was easy to cause damage to the skin, and there was no knowledge of skin care, so women became yellow-faced women as soon as they were over thirty, and it became inevitable for men to get flowers and grass outside.
"How old are you?"
Zhao told the truth, "The cheap concubine is Chinese New Year's Eve today." ”
After all, she got married and had children at the age of fourteen. She should be considered a natural beauty, and she uses less rouge, so her skin is quite fair. The living conditions are also good, the figure is naturally plump, and it retains the charm of some married women. Guo Yi also saw other middle-aged women, like that, they were just dirty eyes.
"Study hard, and in the future, other female relatives in the family will rely on you to teach them." In ancient times, three wives and four concubines were taken for granted. What's more, if you come to the Three Kingdoms once, if you don't take the first step to get the historical beauty, wouldn't it be an insult to the prestige of the traverser?
"Yes." The Zhao family has no opinion, his own background, he is a favorite concubine to death, not to mention that his age is here, and he will not be much better. Guo Yi wanted to marry a wife and take a concubine, but it was not her turn to give her opinion.
Guo Yi systematically told the Zhao mother and daughter about physiological health, hygienic diet and other contents, from brushing teeth and washing face, all the way to the material and replacement of sanitary napkins.
In ancient times, women had a very high chance of getting gynecological diseases, which was directly related to unscientific hygiene practices. Guo Yi doesn't want his woman to get sick!
The mother and daughter have an average level of education, and by the way, they are also taught to read and write, which can basically meet the daily communication. Let them be smarter, behave in a "more modern" way, and get along with themselves much easier!
In order to facilitate communication, Guo Yi gave both the mother and daughter a name, the mother's name: "Rou", and the daughter's name: "Xin".
Before I knew it, a month and a half had passed, and it was already the time for the beginning of spring in late March, and the climate in the north was still very cold, with occasional winds and snowstorms.
Guo Yi's house has been rebuilt, the flushing toilet will no longer stink, and the convenient waterway can also draw water at any time. This kind of house can be comfortable and reassuring to live in.
In the past month and a half, Guo Yi has not only instilled knowledge in Zhao Rou's mother and daughter, but also made tables and chairs, at least in his own home, he can say goodbye to kneeling and avoid arthritis.
Walking around the prefecture every day, I also have a more detailed understanding of this era. Let yourself better integrate into the local social environment.
The goods left behind by the merchants have long been sold for money, and if the next step of investment is not made, this money is enough for the three of them to have no worries about food and clothing for four or five years. Of course, Guo Yi took the money, so he naturally wanted to invest. But not in business, but in "rights"!
Zhao Rou's mother and daughter have no opinion on how he disposes of his property, they always believe that Guo Yi is not the kind of person who cheats money and sex, rolls up and runs away. If he wanted to run, he wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to rebuild his house.
But there are accidents in everything, Zhao Rou was born in a family of merchants, so she naturally saw all kinds of profiteers and liars. As long as things don't have a real hammer, there's always a huge risk!
So when everything was taken care of and a stable life was about to begin, Zhao Rou knocked on Guo Yi's door at night.
"Eun Gong. Now that everything is in order, I wonder how Engong will settle our mother and daughter? ”
Guo Yi hesitated, Zhao Rou naturally followed him, but what about Zhao Xin? How is this little girl arranged? Come to a mother-daughter double harvest? It's not right, it's not right! They are considered normal acquaintances with themselves, and they have generational ethics, and they can't do such morally corrupt things. If they are looted on the battlefield, they are all "goods", and they can do whatever they want.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Rou's heart suddenly became uncomprehensible. You know, the most unreliable thing in this world is the human heart! If Guo Yi sweeps their mother and daughter out of the house now, then they will have no power to resist at all!
"Eun Gong. Our mother and daughter have lived here for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be gossip and speculation in the neighborhood. Engong also needs to understand the identity of my mother and daughter. ”
Guo Yi was startled, only to see that her eyes were full of tears, and she was about to cry. hurriedly helped her up and hugged her in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let down your mother and daughter." ”
"That being the case, when the neighbors asked, the concubine said that she was a concubine, and she could be regarded as a master." The stone in her heart fell to the ground, and Zhao Rou cried all of a sudden, and those careful thoughts turned into tears and flowed on Guo Yi's chest.
Guo Yi gently stroked the tips of her hair and comforted: "I have wronged you." Alas, my wife's position ......"
Zhao Rou said resolutely: "Master Longzhang Fengzi, there must be extraordinary!" The position of the wife naturally wants to marry a famous lady. The concubine mother and daughter are just the family of the merchants, how dare they hope to be in the right position! ”
Guo Yi was noncommittal, these three outlines and five constants had been deeply rooted in their minds, and they could only ignore them as much as possible, and it was almost impossible to change them.
After solving the problem of her own identity and status, Zhao Rou also began to do business. Holding Guo Yi's neck with both hands, he exhaled in his ear, "Does the master want a cheap concubine to sleep?" ”
The host's body is at the time of adolescence hormones, and this matter has been delayed for a month and a half, and the heart has long been itchy. As soon as he heard this, he raised the battle flag high, picked up Zhao Rou and walked to the bed, "Okay." Show you what I'm capable of! ”
The spring breeze is warm overnight, and there is no need to talk about it in detail.
The next day, according to Zhao Rou's suggestion, Guo Yi hung a red curtain at the door, indicating that the family had taken a concubine. Guo Yi has no relatives, so naturally he doesn't need to hold a banquet.
After the housework is handled properly, it is time to start developing the "Dragon Bone Dan", if this thing is used well, it will be a killer feature for yourself to gallop the world in the future!
