He Qiu spent a day playing chess and chatting with Zhu Yuying, which was the same as mixing oil in honey.

Zhu Di couldn't bear it, for fear that when the two of them would feel that this year's winter was extraordinarily cold, and realized the truth that it was warmer for the two of them to sleep together, he hurriedly rushed to throw He Qiu out of Yanwang's mansion and inform him to go back to his good hometown.

He Qiu rode on the horse and asked He Neng curiously, "When will my Hou Mansion be repaired, I don't know why." ”

He Neng laughed with him, "This villain knows that it should have been repaired a long time ago, but because of the ground movement a while ago, there was a period of work stopped in the middle. Later, the prince ordered him to build it quickly, so he invited some more people, and it was repaired in a hurry a year ago. ”

He Qiu nodded, yes, he will get married not long after the year, and it will not be good to be in Yanwang's Mansion at that time, so it will not be a burden.

Speaking of which, He Qiu also felt extremely lucky, Zhu Di is not the emperor now, Zhu Yuying is only the county lord, and the county lord does not need to build the county lord's mansion when he gets married.

If you follow the way of playing the princess's mansion, you have to stuff money for the upbringing and grandmothers in the palace to see Zhu Yuying, and it would be strange if He Qiu didn't tear down the princess's mansion.

He Qiu was a little curious, "How big is my Hou Mansion?" ”

He Neng thought about it and replied, "It seems to cover an area of five acres, right?" The villain can't remember clearly, only the impression is that the first time he went in, the villain was about to get lost. ”

He Qiu was speechless, how could he be a person who is accustomed to the life of a high-ranking family can get lost, it seems that this good township is really magnificent.

He only hopes that he will not make jokes about getting lost in his own house when he lives there in the future.

"Where's the house?"

He Neng replied: "In the west of the city, not counting in the city, this house was originally owned by an official, but this official was beheaded by His Majesty, and the house was sold." Until the prince gave it to you as a mansion. ”

"Speaking of which, this mansion was built by the official who occupied the people's land before, and the man was greedy at the beginning, greedy for more than 100 acres of land in one go, of which four or five acres were built by him, and the rest were planted by him with peach trees and made a peach blossom source."

He Qiu smacked his tongue when he heard it, if he really wants to say it, it is not too much to be greedy for 100 acres of land, but almost all of the greedy land is used to plant peach trees, just to see peach blossoms in spring, this is too extravagant, right?

Zhu Di was not stingy this time, he directly gave this house and the attached hundred acres of peach blossom forest to He Qiu, and the house did a good job after renovation.

He Neng led He Qiu all the way, and when he arrived in the west of the city, he saw his future mansion in a short time, and the gate alone was very magnificent, with more than a dozen round door nails nailed on it.

There are two majestic stone lions in front of the door, which is a bit of the meaning of the mansion door in the late Qing Dynasty.

Walking into the courtyard, He Qiu found that he and Zhu Yuying had indeed taken the path of the southern garden, with winding paths.

He Qiu was a little dissatisfied, this house was too big. I don't know how many servants it will take to fill it, and the daily maintenance cost will not be low, but He Qiu thought to himself that he usually doesn't live here, most of the time he is in the academy, and it doesn't make sense to make the mansion here so good.

Thinking of this, He Qiu handed a message to Zhu Di, wanting to tear down this house and change it to another place. Zhu Di didn't think about it, and directly refused, He Qiu wanted to marry Zhu Di's daughter, so he couldn't let Zhu Yuying live with him?

Isn't that a slap in the face of Zhu Di? Therefore, He Qiu's little idea was all suppressed by Zhu Di.

He Qiu had no choice but to accept it half-pushed.

Seeing that it is about to be the time of the big wedding, He Qiuyi has no elders, and the second does not understand the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and it happens that he has a good relationship with Yin Chenmo of Shuntian Mansion recently, so he plans to let Chen Mo be the person of his own family. 、

Since the earthquake relief, anyone knows that Chen Mo is going to be promoted, so the number of people who come to talk to Chen Mo is countless. But fortunately, He Neng He Qiu gave the waist card, and soon, He Neng went in and explained his intention to Chen Mo, and Chen Mo agreed happily.

After solving this important matter, He Qiu was reluctant to run back and forth between the academy and the Liangxiang Houfu recently, so he stayed in the Liangxiang Houfu all day long.

When I studied how to improve my quality of life, I must know that this stir-fry and hot pot have been played by He Qiu, and it can be said that He Qiu has no regrets about eating.

is to live, He Qiu felt not too satisfied after seeing his Hou Mansion, but not dissatisfied with the overall design of the Hou Mansion.

It's just that this Hou Mansion is in Beiping after all, although this year is a warm winter, there is no snow until the New Year, and the temperature is not particularly low, but He Qiu still feels that the residence of the Hou Mansion should be heated, so that it will be more comfortable to live a small life.

Then He Qiu began to think about the bathhouse again, and it can't be said that the bathhouse is a place for the small couple to bathe, according to the current design, it is a big wooden barrel, but in He Qiu's opinion, it is a little too simple, not to mention a bathtub, just a wooden barrel, and you can't get your hands on it.

And if you want to take a mandarin duck bath in the future, it is not particularly convenient.

As soon as He Qiu gritted his teeth, he took out two designs, one was a sauna for saunas, and the other was a small pool for two or three people to bathe.

He Qiu gave the drawings and asked the craftsmen to follow their own designs, crackling, and beating for more than ten days, and the transformation of Liangxiang Houfu was finally completed.

He Qiu looked at the small wooden house in front of him very happily, this is the meaning of the results of his busy craftsmen for half a month - the sauna.

He Qiu specially selected a batch of wood that was strong enough and could prevent water seepage to build such a house. In order to avoid being suffocated by the carbon monoxide of the stove in the house during the sauna, He Qiu also deliberately designed an underground flue and a kang tunnel to make a fire.

It is not difficult to do this at all, even the fire walls and ondols that have been renovated in the house where I live are made like this.

He Qiu spent a lot of thought on this sauna, and when the molten steel from the blast furnace was not solidified, he threw two or three stone slabs into it, and finally die-cast it into a steel plate, put it on the kang road, and sealed the kang road.

In this way, if you want to steam in the sauna, you can set the kang road outside on fire, and burn the steel plate in the house.

It is extremely convenient to use, and He Qiu couldn't help but try it after this sauna was built.

After steaming in the sauna, it is called a comfort, but just to experience such a little bit of the feeling of the previous life, He Qiu's cost is not small.

Not to mention the cost of renovating the kang road and wood, it costs a lot to say that the two glazed windows on the sauna room cost a lot.

If you want to burn such a large glass window, you deliberately can't see the inside, but you can transmit light very well, just He Qiu's little breaking requirement, and I didn't make it difficult for the masters who burned the glass to die.

It took more than a dozen failures to barely fire a suitable product, which is not much lower than the cost of today's glass.

However, He Qiu didn't choose glass, because he was afraid that when he was in the sauna inside, he would be seen by people outside, so he didn't have this trouble with using glass that didn't see through the scenery.

Since this sauna was built, He Qiu has come almost every night to go to the cold, get poisonous, and think about inviting Zhu Yuying to come along, but considering that he is not married yet, he can only give up.
