Chapter 114: Snubbing
Women and fine wines are the same, they need to be fermented and precipitated before that charm can be fully reflected.
As soon as Li Huai entered the door, he met the hook-like eyes of the small bowl upstairs, and her charm was uncontrollably released.
She's busy.
instructed someone to prepare hot water, and prepared new clothes for Li Huai, she said that the clothes and bedding were taken out to dry.
I made a pot of hot tea for Li Huai, and the tea was sent by the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, the best Wuyi Mountain Jin Junmei.
Then he went to clean up the clothes that Li Huai brought back, put them aside and cleaned them later, wiped the knife and dragon tooth bow, and put them on the sword stand.
She especially noticed that Li Huai's plain female sword, which never left her body, was not brought back.
Li Huai drank hot tea and admired her busy figure.
Then.
The attendant came to deliver the message, and the hot water was ready.
"Lord, do you want to bathe?" Lou Xiaowan came over and asked.
Li Huai nodded, "Okay!" ”
But it was a hand that grabbed her hand.
"Let everyone stand down and you stay."
Lou Xiaowan's face was red, and he nodded slightly.
It was steaming in the bath.
Li Huai enjoyed her service, the tiredness of his body was swept away, and his energy was unconsciously abundant.
He turned his head and looked at Lou's small bowl that was soaked with water vapor.
Raise a hand.
Slicing across her face, her index finger hooked into her collar.
Lou Xiaowan subconsciously shrank.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Lord, aren't you going to Princess Shangguan's courtyard?" She asked softly.
"Don't go!"
Li Huai's fingers were picked to the side, and half of his dress fell off.
Lou Xiaowan was a little nervous, a little shy and happy, and even a little eager, thinking that he was too slow and torturous.
She didn't dare to speak out, and she didn't know what to do.
A bunch of mush in my head.
Confused.
"Ahh
An exclamation.
Lou Xiaowan's whole body fell into the bath, just rolled in Li Huai's arms, and subconsciously stretched out his arm and hooked his neck.
Now.
Lou Xiaowan has a pair of eyes like autumn water, which is deeper than the water of the Peach Blossom Pond that is thousands of feet deep!
The water in the bath boiled violently as if it were boiling.
Occasional rolling waves.
The water temperature gradually cooled down, and Li Huai was afraid that she would freeze to death, so he picked her up and walked back to the bedroom.
They all seem to have endless energy, and they don't stop until they get tired!
……
Following.
Li Huai didn't have greed for Gentle Township, got up early, put Lou Xiaowan's clothes next to the bed, and tiptoed out of the room.
Refreshed!
After breakfast, he went to Shangguan Keke to ask for money.
Shangguan Keke was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Lord Wang, do you really want to burn bricks?" ”
She thought that after one night, he should have forgotten about it.
Even if he still remembers.
You should rest and enjoy yourself for a few days.
Why is it in such a hurry?
"Otherwise, you think I'm joking with you, I don't need a lot of money, you can just dial a little." Li Huai pleaded with a grin.
Shangguan Keke glanced at the bill, it really didn't cost much, she was worried that it would waste coal.
Hesitated slightly.
Or a note was issued.
The prince has the right to be capricious.
Li hugged her and kissed her, "You are really the king's virtuous helper!" ”
So he took the slip and left.
Shangguan Keke touched the place where he was kissed, and he was still a little confused, and after coming back to his senses, his face turned crimson.
Li Huai didn't lie, he really didn't need much money, he went out and shouted, ate three meals a day, and got paid, and someone responded immediately.
The location where the brick kiln was built was important because it required a large number of workers, so it could not be too far from residential areas.
The brick kiln is too troublesome, Jiuyuan is full of loess slopes, and digging the brick kiln is much simpler.
And there must be roads.
Therefore, the brick kiln was built near Qingshui Township.
Li Huai took people to work in a hurry, for several days, they all went out early and returned late, and the two women in the family were both resentful.
Shangguan Keke was finally sure that Li Huai was serious, so he couldn't help but come to the brick kiln to take a look.
She found Li Huai from the crowd at a glance, compared to the dark-skinned laborers, Li Huai's soft skin is particularly conspicuous.
Li Huai took off his silk clothes and wore the same coarse cloth shorts as the laborers, because the silk was too smooth and long, and it was particularly troublesome when he worked.
He was not at all like a prince, and there was no prince who could do the same work as he did.
They mashed the clay, mixed it into clay, poured it into a grinding tool, squeezed it into a rectangular square, dried it almost to dry, and carried it into a strange house.
The brick kiln, with its many doors and holes, and two particularly tall chimneys, really looked like a house.
The adobe bricks filled the cave, and the hole was sealed from the outside, and at the other end there was a shovel and coal added to it, and a bellows was pulled next to it.
Li Huai personally inspected and participated in every link, and there was no room for sloppiness.
Suddenly.
Li Huai found that the expressions of the workers around him had changed, and he even heard some people talking about pornography, so there must be a woman coming.
He looked back.
it!
The woman they play with pornography is his daughter-in-law!
Eating melons and eating them on their heads.
Li Huai threw down the work in his hand, ran over, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Shangguan Keke didn't come alone, she brought Caidie and Nightingale with her.
"Water."
Shangguan Coco commanded, Caidie held a bowl, and Nightingale twisted a teapot and poured a bowl of water for Li Huai.
Li Huai happened to be thirsty, and drank three bowls in a row.
"When I burn the first kiln bricks, I will hand over the brick kiln to the head of Qingshui Township, and you can go home first."
Li Huai knew that it must be his own prince who did not return home, they were in a hurry, who would see that their prince was not in a hurry.
The prince should be like the prince.
Li Huai also knew what they imagined the prince to look like, but he didn't want to be like that yet.
He said so, and then urged him, then he seemed a little ignorant, Shangguan Keke asked casually: "Do they know that you are the prince?" ”
Li Huai shook his head, "Then how can you let them know, if you really know, who can work with peace of mind." ”
That's fine.
Shangguan Keke's biggest worry is not that he is afraid of his hardship, but that he is in danger, who knows if there are assassins in Liangzhou.
As long as his identity is not revealed.
No one would have thought that there was a cool king in this pile of hard labor.
That's when it happened.
There was a cacophony of people from the brick kiln, as if they had discovered something strange.
Soon.
A few people ran to Li Huai.
"What do you think this is, my lord?"
A person in the middle, holding a few crystals in his palm.
Li Huai picked up one and looked at it, yellow-green, translucent, you are like a crystal, he was shocked, "This is ...... Glass! ”
This is because the temperature of the brick kiln is too high, which results in the by-product of glass crystals, although the purity is very low.
But it's really real glass.
Li Huai was not happy at all, threw down Shangguan Coco, and they ran back, shouting: "Don't add coal, you guys, don't pull the bellows, add soil, quickly, add soil to it." ”
If you continue to burn like this, it will not be bricks, but a pile of slag bricks, which will break when you touch it.
The laborers began to get busy, and hurriedly covered the fire with earth, but the temperature inside was still very high.
If you get a little closer, you'll get burned.
Shangguan Keke looked at his figure, he really changed a lot when he came back from a trip to the Great Wall, less lazy and more diligent.
She wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
In a word.
Li Huai estimated that he would not be able to go back, and the transfer of the brick kiln would probably be prolonged.
It took a lot of effort to finally let the temperature come down.
Break open the cave.
Waiting for it to cool down a little, Li Huai took people in and moved the bricks out, which were already considered bricks.
However, seventy percent of the bricks have been scrapped, which will break when touched, and two percent of the bricks have not been fired.
Only a small part of it was burned into the bricks he wanted.
He did not burn the red bricks of later generations, but the older gray bricks.
Because red bricks also need mixed soil, this kind of large gray bricks can be directly mixed with clay and hay to build a house.
It is not as strong as red bricks, and only one floor can be built, and there is still a long distance from the building.
Li Huai picked up a brick and wanted Shangguan Keke to take a look, but when he turned his head to look, he didn't know when they were leaving.
"Am I snubbing her too much?"
Li Huai finally thought about it.
