Although the Xie family had a lot of money and it was easy to buy land and materials, it took a long time to build a decent courtyard.

So it's a shame that at least this year it's too late to move in.

In the scorching summer, you can only stay up temporarily, and in this era without air conditioning, you can only use ice cubes to cool down and relieve the heat.

In Chang'an City, from the royal nobles to the ordinary wealthy people, wherever there are conditions, some ice cubes will be stored.

It's a pity that the Xie family didn't, and the house was purchased in autumn and winter last year, and many things were not added in time, and the ice cellar was one of them.

So since the beginning of summer, whenever ice cubes are used in the house, An Yixuan bought them from the outside. But as the heat continues, the price of ice cubes in Chang'an City continues to rise, not to mention, more importantly, it is out of stock.

Fortunately, Xie Yi has a wide range of network resources, and although Li Zhi, the king of Jin, does not need to live in the palace, there are a lot of ice cubes in the Jin palace. Li Zhi felt sorry for his family history, so he sent a lot.

Princess Changle also sent some gifts to Zheng Liwan from the princess's mansion, which completely alleviated the problem of insufficient ice for the Xie family. It's just that in order to use a little cooler, I owe such a big favor, which is really not cost-effective.

At least Xie Yi thinks so, isn't it just ice, can't it freeze in summer?

Although there is no refrigerator, we still know about saltpeter ice, but after inquiring in detail, we found that saltpeter is a scarce item.

Except for a few miners who knew about it, no one else had heard of it, let alone owned. The Xie family can't help but regret it, it seems that they want to pretend to be a ghost and play a cold ice palm in summer, the conditions are not ripe!

After learning from the pain, Master Xie began to ask people to pay attention to the collection of saltpeter, so as to avoid the dilemma of having no ice to use in the future. Moreover, saltpeter is more than just ice-making......

……

His Majesty Li Er went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer, and when he left, he brought a few young concubines who had just entered the palace.

It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor also likes the new and hates the old a little. It's just that the emperor lives in the palace. There must always be someone around to take care of it, and it is appropriate to go to a few concubines, who dares to say that His Majesty the Emperor is obsessed with beauty and beauty?

It is foreseeable that the scenery of Jiucheng Palace will be gorgeous during this time, and maybe in a few days, the Tang royal family will add one or two royal children.

The sentence of upward and downward effect is right, although the courtiers and nobles of Chang'an did not dare to say anything, most of them followed suit.

Cheng Chumo didn't know when he also joined this team, and the number of people in and out of Pingkangfang has increased significantly recently, and it is said that a red-sleeved girl has recently come to Pingkangfang. Color and art are unique.

"Xiaoyao, don't you know, the red-sleeved girl is pretty, like a celestial, and she is talented, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her dancing posture is even more chic, especially sword dance...... It's unforgettable, and it's unforgettable! "Cheng Chumo is a big old man. The words are intoxicating, and the appearance is really cute.

Xie Yi was surprised: "It can be seen that Brother Chu Mo is indeed lingering...... It's just that I went forward so openly, didn't Mrs. Sister-in-law and Lord Lingzun say anything? ”

"I went to Pingkangfang, it was social. Listen to the red-sleeved girl play the piano with their friends, watch the red-sleeved girl dance the sword, and there is nothing dirty, what can they say? Cheng Chu swore silently. It seems that there are no scruples.

"Really? Could it be that Brother Chu Mo really doesn't have any ideas? Xie Yi asked with a smile, quite funny.

"But if it's a man, how can he not have any thoughts when he sees that peerless beauty. It's just ......" Cheng Chumo shook his head helplessly and said: "It's just the appearance of a red-sleeved girl, how can you easily blaspheme ......"

"Hmph." Xie Yi glanced at Cheng Chumo and said leisurely: "Is it the so-called selling of art and not selling oneself?" ”

"Hey, Brother Xiaoyao is really an understanding person." Cheng Chumo said embarrassedly: "The red-sleeved girl has a unique temperament, and recently, many princes and grandsons have given away their daughters, intending to kiss Fangze, but she is not moved at all. And there is a saying that if you meet someone who cares, you will not take a penny, and you will be willing to commit yourself......"

"Really? This is a bit interesting, I can't imagine that in the land of red dust and fireworks, there are such strange women. said so, but Xie Yi didn't think so in his heart, but admired this woman's hype methods. After all, this method has been seen too much in later generations, but it is relatively novel in Datang.

"That's right." Cheng Chu silently instigated: "Brother Xiaoyao is outstanding in learning, and he is a talent, he can win the heart of Mrs. Zheng, and maybe he can also ...... I don't know if the girl with red sleeves is committed, so why don't you try it! ”

"It's been a long time, and you're coming to me for this purpose?" Xie Yi suddenly realized that Cheng Chumo really had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but he didn't expect it to be for this......

Alas! The world is going down, how honest he used to be, but now he is confused by beauty to this extent.

"We are friends, with such good things, how can we forget you?" Cheng Chumo smiled, looking very sincere, but his expression always made people feel cheap.

Xie Yi smiled: "Thank you Brother Mo for your concern, but what...... Brother, I am also a newlywed Yan'er, and there is a beautiful woman at home, so I won't go to Pingkangfang......"

"Uh...... Really not going? Cheng Chumo couldn't help but be slightly disappointed.

"Not really." Seeing Cheng Chumo leave, Xie Yi couldn't help but shake his head slightly, it can be guessed that it was probably Pingkangfang who had some kind of competition for this red-sleeved girl, and Cheng Dagongzi was probably here to help him.

However, as I said before, if there is a beautiful woman in the family, why go to the land of fireworks to see vulgar powder? It is even more unnecessary to be jealous.

"San Lang should go!" Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan appeared behind them at some point, obviously hearing the conversation of Shicai.

"How?" Xie Yi glanced at a pair of beauties in surprise, and said in surprise: "It's weird, it's not okay to encourage your own men to go to the land of fireworks?" ”

"It's okay to go shopping properly, if you don't go, I'm fine, but if it gets out, Sister Liwan may be charged with jealousy."

Du Xijun said leisurely: "The worst thing is you, after a long time, if you are said to be afraid of guilt, it will be even worse." ”

Zheng Liwan blushed slightly, shook her head and said, "If you want to go, you can go, so as not to wronged me in the future......"

"Who wants to go?" Xie Yi wrapped his two hands around the two beauties, and said leisurely: "With you, how can the vulgar fans of those fireworks land get into their eyes?" ”

"San Lang don't make trouble, ...... in broad daylight" Facing the dishonest fingers, the two beauties suddenly began to protest.

……

Pingkangfang is a special existence in Chang'an, and every time students take the imperial examination, they are the first to come here.

Cover this place gathered a lot of Qinlou Chu Pavilion, is a veritable fireworks willow lane in Chang'an City, so the literati and talented students always love to come here, as if they do not come to have a negative wind / elegant name.

What's more important is to be able to sleep in the willows and have fun, most men have no immunity in this regard.

Therefore, on weekdays, Pingkangfang is always busy, including many princes and grandsons, talented and famous people, especially these days.

Most of them came here for a woman named Red Sleeves, for the fragrance of Red Sleeves, and for the fairy days accompanied by beautiful women...... (To be continued......)
