Chapter 467: A Particularly Attentive Confidante
After sighing alone for a while, Li Yongji simply stopped thinking alone, but walked out of the study, intending to see Soho.
Soho is now more than eight months pregnant, and she can give birth at any time, so at this time, Li Yongji is most concerned about her, relatively speaking, other things have to stand aside.
Moreover, perhaps because Li Yongji's main memories are from the 21st century, and there is a golden finger of time and space trading, even if he travels to this 19th century world, many of his habits, especially his living habits, still maintain the habits of the past in the 21st century, and are not overwhelmed by the environment of the 19th century.
Especially when Li Yongji's status is getting higher and higher, and his power is getting bigger and bigger, his enjoyment of life is getting higher and higher, but unlike the so-called high-end enjoyment of this era, he still likes the comfortable and simple modern style of the 21st century.
In terms of life enjoyment, Li Yongji has never been harsh on himself, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation in life are basically directly using modern products in the 21st century.
For example, Li Yongji is now, not only the clothes on his body are custom-made in the 21st century, but also the food uses a lot of ingredients and seasonings imported from the 21st century, and even the entire house, furniture and electrical appliances are directly obtained from modern society.
Taking Li Yongji's current housing as an example, since he moved to New Orleans, he did not use the brainwashed former city hall as a homestead, nor did he choose the villa of a local large family as a house, but continued to use the mobile integrated house he was using in Smithland.
Unlike the mobile color steel villas used by Li Yongji during his time in China, because Li Yongji had to move frequently in the United States, the requirements for the appearance of the residence were not high, but the requirements for thermal insulation, solidity, modularity and ease of disassembly were high.
Therefore, during his time in Smithland, Li Yongji's residence became a simple box-shaped prefabricated house, which on the surface looked like several large shipping containers spliced together. Add a triangular roof on top of that.
Don't underestimate such a house, although it looks very simple, there is no beauty of a villa at all, but the materials are very particular, they are all made in Germany, not only easy to build, can be completed in less than a day, but also durable, strong heat preservation, especially rich in many modern building features. The degree of science and technology is very high.
Solar water heaters, solar panels, ground source heat pump air conditioning systems, fresh air circulation systems with negative ion function and filtration and sterilization functions for indoor air quality improvement, water purification equipment, liquefied gas, septic tank and biogas power generation equipment, etc., are all standard!
So to speak. The residence where Li Yongji lives now has no art department except for the appearance, but only pursues practicality and space, purely in terms of scientific and technological content. Even in the 21st century, it is not inferior, and naturally, the price is quite expensive, far more expensive than Li Yongji's modern Chinese-made mobile prefabricated villa in Nanjing.
Expensive price and increased technology content. It also greatly improves the comfort of this residence, not to mention anything else, just a computer control. The constant temperature and humidity of the room 24 hours a day is far from being matched by any other house in this world.
In fact, Li Yongji was not so extravagant, when he stayed in Smithland, he didn't use this house that looked simple on the outside, but the inside was quite complex in technology, he did it completely for Soho, to be precise, for the sake of the pregnant Soho.
Since knowing that Soho was pregnant, Li Yongji has paid all kinds of attention to her, not only paying more attention to her diet, but also buying this expensive but comfortable mobile house through Dou Bifeng.
In order to increase mobility and disassembly, this house uses a modular house like multiple containers, which can not only pull away the entire modular house of one container, but also disassemble and assemble it when necessary.
In other words, every container house is made in advance, and when needed, as long as several containers are spliced together, a large-scale residence can be formed, as long as there are enough container modules, it can be said how big and how big it is.
In order to increase the sturdiness, especially to increase the indoor space, the exterior walls of these modular container houses are made of integrated high-strength special light steel materials, that is to say, these walls or boxes are specially manufactured, taking into account various needs such as sturdy, lightweight and thermal insulation, and even in order to meet the requirements of the building, some places are still reinforced with carbon fiber.
The advantage of this is that when several boxes are spliced together, the internal box, or wall, can be directly disassembled, so as to open up the internal isolation space and make the indoor space more spacious.
In the case of ensuring safety and strength, after a plurality of boxes are spliced together, after internal disassembly, an unobstructed room with an area of 300 square meters and a height of 5 meters can be manufactured.
However, in fact, Li Yongji does not need such a large internal space, after all, his house is used for living, not for the Great Hall, if a single room is too large, it will only produce a sense of emptiness and loneliness, so in fact, each room in this house is not large, even the largest main living room, the area is only two hundred square meters.
As for the study room that Li Yongji usually likes to stay in, it is only about 30 square meters, plus various desks, bookcases, sofas and coffee tables, etc., which is exactly Li Yongji's favorite space area, which is very suitable for being alone.
It can also be seen from this that Li Yongji is not the kind of person who blindly likes large residences, in fact, he may prefer this small home-style style due to personality and habits, because he feels that this will make him feel more homely.
Of course, the so-called small apartment layout that Li Yongji likes only refers to environments such as the study, bedroom, and living room, but this is not the case with gyms and flower rooms.
In order to keep Soho healthy during pregnancy, he not only paid more attention to his diet and environment, but also asked Soho to do light exercise, such as walking, when he had nothing to do.
However, due to the cold outside during the initial stationing in Smithland, the environment was quite harsh. It's definitely not good to go out for a walk if you have nothing to do, so Li Yongji specially built a 300-square-meter sun room, which is specially used as a fitness place in Soho, which is the so-called gym.
In this sunroom, the exterior walls and roof are made of high-strength multi-layer hollow tempered glass, which maintains strength while keeping warm and transmitting light.
Moreover, this sunroom not only has fully automatic curtains and roof visors, but also controllable color-changing glass inside, that is. If you want a private space, you can not only close the curtains and the sun visor on the roof, but also directly control the discoloration of a layer of color-changing glass inside, so as to control the light transmittance and achieve the purpose of shading and confidentiality.
Inside the sunroom, there are not only artificial grass, ponds, flowers and various fitness equipment, but also a small heated swimming pool where you can swim directly.
Because this sunroom is so comfortable. So after it was built, it was Soho's favorite place to stay, and it was almost always there when it was okay.
Originally, Li Yongji thought that Soho would definitely be in the sun room now, but who knew that he had just left the study. But I found Soho in the living room.
At this time, Soho was quietly squeezing juice at the coffee table in the living room, using a hand-cranked juicer, not an electric juicer.
Just a look. Li Yongji knew that the other party had stayed for a long time, because next to the juicer, there were already four large cups of juice. In addition to this, there are plenty of fresh mangoes, watermelons, dragon fruits, grapes and other fruits, which are obviously raw materials for juicing.
After finding that Li Yongji came out, Soho smiled slightly, put down the mango in his hand, and took the towel in the hand of the lady next to him and wiped his hands, and then stood up with the help of another lady: "Ah, Yongji, are you done?" ”
"Hmm." Li Yongji nodded, walked over in a few steps, hugged her waist, looked at the juice materials, and then smiled, "How do you squeeze juice yourself?" Why don't you let someone do it? ”
"Nope." Su Ho smiled and shook her head, "The concubine is just a little bored, so I want to do it myself, squeeze some juice for you, and supplement that vitamin." ”
Speaking of this, Soho gently stuck out his tongue: "Didn't you say it, vitamins are very important, they are essential nutrients for the human body, not only do I need them, but you also need them." ”
"Oh, that's right." Li Yongji nodded, "How to use a manual one, isn't there an electric one?" ”
"Electric ones don't taste good." Soho said, "It's still this kind of handmade to taste right." ”
"Well, that's right." Li Yongji nodded noncommittally. Anyway, he has never had any special requirements in this regard, since the other party likes it, then let her want, after all, she is now a pregnant woman, and pregnant women are the largest.
"That's right." After Soho finished speaking, he turned around and picked up a glass of mango juice, "Yongji, the weather is hot and humid, let's drink a glass of mango juice, I just freshly squeezed it." ”
"Huh." Li Yongji smiled, took the juice, drank the glass of mango juice in three or two sips, and took a big sip of praise, "Yes, it's quite delicious, it's really hard for you." ”
"Giggle." Seeing Li Yongji's appearance, Soho smiled happily, "It's good if you like it." ”
Seeing Soho's childlike posture, Li Yongji also laughed, feeling a lot more comfortable, and his original boredom seemed to be gone.
In fact, Soho was not like this at first, and even a little restrained, but as the time of contact became longer and longer, especially when Soho realized Li Yongji's various gentleness and thoughtfulness, his heart became more and more open, and he was no longer as restrained as before.
After all, Soho is only a seventeen-year-old girl, and in modern society, that is, the age of a high school student, it is a good time to be lively and active, and all the previous rules are just restricted by the environment.
But after coming into contact with Li Yongji, she was moved by Li Yongji's thoughtfulness, and Li Yongji's identity also gave her a lot of convenience, especially since this is in North America, not a high-profile Chinese palace, so the shackles on Soho's body were opened all of a sudden, and her original nature slowly recovered.
Originally, Soho had to help Li Yongji deal with a lot of work, and she belonged to the role of secretary and lover, so she had to restrain herself a little bit in doing things, but when she became pregnant, many official duties were stopped, and after she had more free time, her lively side was completely stimulated.
At this time, Soho not only boldly called Li Yongji's nickname Yongji, but also coquettishly flirted and scolded each other when they came into contact with each other. This was absolutely unthinkable before.
In fact, even Li Yongji's main palace queen Yin Susu usually doesn't dare to think that Soho treats Li Yongji like this, and in this regard, Suho's attitude is the first woman.
Of course, this is also related to Li Yongji's tireless training, it is precisely because of Li Yongji's own preferences, coupled with the gentleness and thoughtfulness of nature, that he subtly changed Soho, who was still in adolescence, and re-showed her lively side.
Li Yongji kissed me again with Soho, and after a few words of chat. It seemed that Li Yongji was in a bad mood, and Soho offered to go to the sun room for a walk, so he should relax.
From this aspect, it can be seen that although Soho's lively side has been stimulated, and the nature of a girl has slowly recovered, after all, she has experienced ups and downs since childhood, and her ability to see people's eyes has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, which can make Li Yongji feel like a spring breeze all the time, and I feel more and more inseparable from her.
So. Soho's current appearance is half of her heart, and the other half is out of her own caution, even though she is only seventeen years old. But in terms of emotional intelligence, it is not bad, at least not much worse than Li Yongji.
In this way, when Li Yongji took Soho for a walk in the sun room, he didn't need Soho to take the initiative to guide him. Li Yongji himself gushed out his recent troubles.
In addition to not being able to talk about time and space trading, others are like worries about the domestic political environment and distrust of Shen Shiming and other important ministers. For Yin Susu and his son's worries and self-blame, he confided in Soho in one go.
Soho is a good listener, and she did not passively accept Li Yongji's confiding, but took the initiative to interact with Li Yongji one question and one answer.
In other words, if Soho can understand what Li Yongji said, he will say his own views and suggestions, but he is not strong, and he will not give people the feeling of being overwhelmed, but will arouse Li Yongji's desire to explain.
For those who don't understand, Soho will ask directly, in this case, Li Yongji will take the trouble to explain Soho and tell her why this is so.
The reason why this is so is because Soho has long discovered a characteristic of Li Yongji, that is, he is very cold to outsiders, but when it comes to acquaintances, he is a bit talkative, and even a little good teacher, and always likes to tell people big truths.
Soho also did what he liked, just like a primary school student, he kept asking questions, so that Li Yongji could satisfy the ** of being a good teacher.
However, Soho will also grasp a degree, she will not ask some obviously simple things, and if she asks a question that Li Yongji is a little impatient, she will quickly get over the question and find a new one, which will arouse Li Yongji's interest again and allow the conversation to continue.
This kind of skill did not let Su Ho be taught, but Su Ho learned it in a brothel when she was a child, and then after following Li Yongji, she still exerted this skill, always focusing on Li Yongji, which can make Li Yongji like her more and more, spoil her more and more, and become more and more inseparable from her, and has treated Soho as a confidant.
In other words, Soho's favor is not to show people with sex, but to win by temperament, because Soho found that Li Yongji has some so-called spiritual cleanliness in the matter of sexual intercourse between men and women, and he seems to prefer spiritual communication with beautiful women to physical pleasures.
There is no doubt that the appearance of Soho has filled a certain gap in Li Yongji's heart, which is the fundamental reason why Soho can be favored so quickly, and even in a certain way, Soho has greatly surpassed Yin Susu in Li Yongji's heart.
It's no wonder that Li Yongji is biased, after all, Soho was sold to a brothel as a red card reserve since he was a child, in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, observing words and colors is a basic skill, which is completely different from Yin Susu, who is in the middle of the family, in terms of living environment in the past.
Therefore, although Yin Susu is the earliest with Li Yongji, her personality is also quite graceful, she has also suffered a lot, and she knows how to go with the flow, but she is completely incomparable with Soho in terms of serving and understanding people.
In addition, because Li Yongji insisted on sending troops to North America, he went for another three years, and the woman who accompanied him during this period has always been Soho, and it is inevitable that Soho's status in Li Yongji's heart will gradually increase over time.
Now, Soho is pregnant again, which is undoubtedly more important in Li Yongji's mind, it can be said that as long as he returns to China, the title of an imperial concubine will never run, and this is second only to the queen!
However, precisely because Soho also values her status and future, she knows very well who she relies on, so she is also quite concerned about Li Yongji's recent concerns, especially about the control of domestic power.
After all, Soho understands very well that with Li Yongji, her status and power are there, but if Li Yongji is gone, or loses her power, then as a woman with no foundation, she is nothing! (To be continued......)
