Chapter 22: Physical Methods for Wintering
The second PK between Shangguanjing and Zhang mama was a big victory.This act of killing chickens and monkeys is not only for the control of Mammy Zhang, but also for Xiaohong and the others.

Although there is a reward now, the maids have been diligent and diligent, but Shangguan Jing actually understands that it is not enough to rely on money to support her. She and Xiao Jingheng have no prestige in the maid's heart.

This time, Shangguanjing also deliberately asked Xiaohong and the others to see clearly that although she and Xiao Jingheng were young and helpless, they were not completely helpless.

The effect of this action is remarkable. Mammy Zhang probably didn't expect Shangguanjing to be so powerful at such a young age. In the following days, it really stopped a lot. In order to avoid Shangguanjing, she almost didn't enter the yard, but Yue Lu Yin did not dare to be greedy for ink anymore, but honestly sent it over.

Although the monthly allowance of the two children is not much, there are not many servants in their yard who need to be rewarded. There are only four general servant girls and two kitchen women who often come and go to deliver meals. Save a little, yes Enough to spend.

Don't underestimate the role of this little money, it has greatly improved the lives of Shangguan Jing and Xiao Jingheng.

At least, after using the reward money, the meals brought by the big kitchen are no longer cold in the cold winter.

Whenever I think of this, Shangguanjing always sighs with emotion, and I don't know how much cold food Xiao Jingheng had eaten before.

However, the slight improvement is limited to this. The first winter that Shangguan Jing and Xiao Jingheng spent together was not too good.

It's so cold!Shangguanjing, a modern person who is served by an air conditioner, feels that she will never be able to get used to the heat provided by the brazier.

"It's too cold!" She dressed herself into a ball and covered almost all the thick clothes on her body: "The technology is not developed, so there is such a disadvantage! It would be nice if there was heating or air conditioning."

"What?" Xiao Jingheng, who was also heavily dressed, raised his head in confusion, but did not understand Shangguanjing's nonsense.The child has developed frostbite on his hands, but he still writes and does his homework diligently every day.

"It's nothing." Shangguanjing waved his hand: "I'm just nagging. It's cold! The charcoal pot is really useless. When I was at home, it seemed that the winter was not so difficult. Maybe this year is particularly cold?"

"Sister Jing must have earth dragons at home." Xiao Jingheng smiled indifferently: "Yu Shuyuan has them. Fire dragons walk under the floor. No matter how cold it is outside, the house is always warm."

"Huh?" Shangguanjing, who had no experience, was suddenly shocked: "There is also a floor heating system, is it so advanced?"

"Isn't the earth dragon very common?" Xiao Jingheng looked inexplicable.

"Normal?" Shangguan Jing didn't believe it: "If it's really normal, why don't we have earth dragons in our house."

"Only our yard doesn't have it." Xiao Jingheng replied calmly: "After all, it is very expensive, and we live in a remote area, so we have to repair the fire way."

"Oh! Understood!" Shangguan Jing nodded solemnly: "We don't deserve to be a dragon."

"It's not that I complained that Sister Jing was too unlucky." Xiao Jingheng has been able to calmly ridicule his status at home after Shangguanjing's education and brainwashing.

He smiled and said: "My father has eleven sons, but Sister Jing has become my wife and lives in the only yard without earth dragons in the Huaiyang Palace. Don't complain if your luck is so bad."

"If you want me to accept my fate, there is no way!" Shangguan Jing replied with a laugh: "Only by going against the trend can I show my sister's IQ level! You wait! With me here, I will ensure that your life is getting better day by day. It's not as good as letting you, the direct son of the royal family, not live as well as a child from a poor family, right?"

"The poor are better off than us." Xiao Jingheng blinked and replied, "Master Shuyuan once said that the climate in Beijing is dry, and most of the poor houses have deep foundations. Our house is about pomp and circumstance. To enter the house, you have to go up the steps first, and most of the poor people’s houses enter the house and go down the steps, and the walls are built with thatch, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.”

Shangguan Jing blinked in confusion, and after a while, he made up an image of the early Northwest Diwozi that he had seen in a TV documentary before.Could it be that... the capital of this world has a similar climate to the northwest of the world she used to live in?
"So why did Master Shuyuan teach you this?" Shangguanjing couldn't help but ask curiously, "I thought it was taking you to read the book of sages!"

"Of course not." Xiao Jingheng shook his head: "I am a clan, and I study with the princes. Master said that the children who study in Yushuyuan will be the humerus of the country in the future, and there must be no lack of knowledge. Except for the officials. In addition to the sage books to be read, Mohism, engineering, law, and arithmetic are all to be learned, and there is also an exam for mental arithmetic!"

"Understood!" Shangguan Jing suddenly realized and nodded.Elite education for royal heirs!She understands!In this way, Xiao Baozi from her family, as a clan, has taken advantage of the fact that she has been studying in Yushuyuan since she was a child, at least the basic education is very comprehensive.

"So," Shangguanjing looked at Xiao Jingheng and asked expectantly, "Do you have any physical method that can make our limited charcoal exert the maximum heat?"

"No." Xiao Jingheng shook his head sincerely: "Besides, what is physics?"

Shangguanjing soon demonstrated what is called the method of physics.Around the winter solstice, because the weather was really cold, she directly ordered Xiao Jingheng not to continue living on the couch in the study, but to live in the bedroom with her.

"First, to save money." She told Xiao Jingheng like this: "One charcoal basin in the bedroom and one in the study are a waste! Our charcoal is not enough. The second... Of course, it is for warmth. Originally used in The charcoal in the two rooms is concentrated in one room, and of course it will be warmer."

As for the third point, of course, it is still for warmth.

Xiao Jingheng moved back to the bedroom after Xiaoxue's solar term. To be precise, he moved to the same bed as Shangguanjing.Two little children slept together wrapped in a thick quilt, it was always warmer than sleeping on their own.

Such a "cohabitation" life has no psychological burden for Shangguanjing.I want to know, even if two children of eight or nine years old are lying on the same bed, apart from sleeping, what else can be tricky?

The days have been peaceful, and Shangguanjing quickly got used to it, and there was a little boy sleeping beside him.Around the winter solstice, the weather was so cold that the two children even discussed getting into the same bed.

Don't get me wrong, it's just to keep warm.

With Shangguanjing's care, Xiao Jingheng felt that this was the best winter day in his life.If he has money to give to the maid, he doesn't need to do laundry in winter, and he has money to give to the maid who delivers meals. In this way, no matter how cold the weather is, he will not eat cold dishes.

What's even better is that when it's freezing cold, he and Sister Jing can light up a charcoal basin and snuggle with each other for the night. He couldn't be happier!
