"My lord, hot water is ready!"

In the courtyard of the vestibule,

Ye Qing had just finished drinking a pot of tea when his attendant came over and bowed.

Soon, Ye Qing came to his private bathroom, which could be said to be luxurious and dreamy.

His bathroom, which is larger than the average person's house, is divided in two by a four-folding screen, with a shower and barrel bath on the left and a dedicated relaxation area on the right.

There is no electricity, but rain showers are also possible.

At the current industrial level, although it is not as convenient as a modern city to make a shower, it is not impossible to do it, as long as you have money, you can do it.

As for the tap shower, it is also simple, a simple valve controls the amount of water and turns the water on and off, and a large water tank is fixed on the wall outside the bathroom.

And the water pipe used to connect the shower and the water tank is even simpler, even the cannon pipe can be made, can you still make a water pipe?

High-pressure water pipes can't be built now, but ordinary water pipes are still fine!

The only thing that is a little more troublesome is to maintain the water temperature, you can add a hot goose warm stone to maintain the water temperature, or you can not fill the water tank at one time and use the method of heating the water at different times to maintain the water temperature.

However, Ye Qing is such a big man taking a shower, that is, three times five divided by two, there is no need to maintain any water temperature at all, even if he washes the water twice, it will not be completely cold!

Of course, if you want to take a shower at the coldest time of winter, you still need to use this artificial method to maintain the water temperature.

In this northern border area, when it is cold, it is really cold, no matter how strong a drunk is, as long as he sleeps outside, he will definitely become a popsicle the next day.

It's just that at that time, he usually takes a barrel bath.

If the water temperature is not enough, just pour out a basin of water and add a basin of hot water, even if you fall asleep in a wooden barrel, the water temperature will be about the same when you get up.

And at this very moment,

The maid lit all the lamps and candles in the bathroom, and the huge bathroom immediately became dreamy.

Under the illumination of two-way candlelight, the four ancient beauties on the four-folding screen were directly projected on the two walls of the bathing area and the relaxation area.

The sable cicada worshipping the moon, the Zhaojun who is out of the plug, the drunken concubine, and the Xi Shi of the raccoon yarn are simply static creatures on the wall!

And the reason for such a projection effect, in addition to the material of the wall and the absolutely opaque curtains, the most important thing is the expensive lampshade.

You must know that ordinary candlelight cannot achieve such an effect at all!

In this era when there are no spotlights, only a special silk lampshade covered with candles can have such a lighting effect.

Yes, the lanterns used by Ye Qing are all expensive silk lampshades.

The production of silk lampshades is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the main consumption is silkworm labor.

To make a silk lampshade, you need to raise silkworms a month in advance, and you must all grow fat big white strips, and then let them spin freely on the lampshade.

After dozens of silkworms spit silk, a lampshade is basically completed, and only a layer of tung oil is needed in the end.

Under the effect of the silk lampshade, the transparent bright and soft light can achieve such a projection effect!

"My lord, let's be wide-dressed!"

The wooden barrel that has long been added to the health bath medicine is steaming hot, and there is a faint smell of grass.

Ye Qing just closed his eyes, and then slowly raised his arms, at this moment he only felt extremely relaxed.

The two maids who were dedicated to rubbing Ye Qing's back to relax immediately raised their slender jade hands.

You have to know that Ye Qinghua spent money on these two hands, it was too much!

They were all raised as eldest ladies in the house, and they really haven't done any other rough work!

Just when Ye Qing had this extravagant condition, it can be said that the city's audition recruitment, the conditions are not harsh, just a few basic conditions.

White skin, beautiful and long legs, plus a pair of superb slender jade hands.

Since the recruitment was in place, the money spent on maintaining their hands alone was not something that the imperial court could afford.

But Ye Qing is willing to spend this money!

was originally going to be an official for three years, so he took the opportunity of self-evaluation to self-report and ask for death, and didn't take the opportunity to enjoy a few days of luxury before dying?

Although it is still not as good as the conditions of modern cities, it is possible to spend money to reduce the gap as much as possible, right?

As the saying goes, those who spend money make money!

Besides, he, Ye Qing, is a person who wants to return to the modern city anyway, and he can't take away a copper plate of money here.

Do you want to keep all the money and give it to Zhu Yuanzhang?

It's no problem to give it to him, just reward him for beating Dayuan into Beiyuan, so that the Chinese people will not suffer from bullying!

But there must be a prerequisite, that is, he must take the death decree or death decree to receive the award, otherwise he Zhu Yuanzhang will not want to take a copper plate from him!

As soon as he thought of this death-giving decree, Ye Qing frowned.

"What the hell is going on?"

"They all say that you are not active in eating, and there is a problem with your thoughts, I think you are not active in copying your home, and there is something wrong with your braincase!"

"They all say that I am greedy for millions of dirty silver, and you still don't come to raid the house?"

“......”

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just sighed helplessly, and was ready to enter the barrel.

Knock knock!

At this moment, a quick knock on the door came from outside the door.

"My lord, have you finished washing?"

"The lower official has an urgent report!"

Wu used that seemingly urging tone to let the two maids who were in charge of this matter look at the knocking door at the same time, and their eyes could be said to be very unhappy.

Just this little look, just like the man who has been spoiled for a good thing!

But after all, Wu Yong is the second-in-command of the entire Yanmen County, and the deputy governor of the county in the eyes of their Lord Ye, they still dare not say much.

If it were a different person, I was afraid that I would start to reprimand it directly.

Ye Qing naturally knew what Wu Yong was here for, and he must have overheard some valuable news.

Judging from his behavior of not hesitating to disturb and urge himself to bathe, the value of this news is still very great.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing put on his clothes and said, "Wash it, right away." ”

Soon, the two of them came to the courtyard of the front hall.

Wu Yong held the teapot on the stone table and opened it, and he didn't drink a sip of water all the way.

After putting down the teapot, Wu Yong asked directly: "My lord, according to the rules of the imperial court, your term of office this year will be completed." ”

"His Majesty once ordered that he should personally conduct a full-term examination of local officials across the country."

"Xia Guan remembers that you played your self-evaluation in February, what did you write?"

Wu Yong remembered very well that Ye Qing had written a self-evaluation book written by himself in the study, and he personally sealed it and handed it over to the errand station, without passing through his hands from beginning to end.

Because of this, he didn't know how Ye Qing wrote his self-evaluation at all.

And after Ye Qing heard such a question, he only felt inexplicable.

Why did this guy come back and 'interrogate' him after listening to the spy's confession? ......
