Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 181 Early Winter
After Li Lijun and his party returned to Saga Mountain Bieye, the temperature quickly turned sharply, and the weather changed from late autumn to early winter.A few days later, it began to rain again.

The rain is mixed with small ice beads, hitting the body, not only will wet the clothes, but also hurt people.

Erhong is always thankful that Li Lijun decisively chose to come back early, otherwise it would be fatal to rush on the road in such weather!
Listening to the system report, Li Lijun found that the lowest temperature today was only 3 degrees Celsius, and the highest was only 11 degrees. She smiled and said, "Now you feel that the weather is terribly cold. In a few days, when the temperature is even lower, what will you do?" manage?"

Erhong thought for a while, couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly said to Li Lijun: "Little lady, people at the forest farm say that the kang is very useful, warm and convenient, why don't we build one in the house?" Bar?"

When the buddies and craftsmen of Zhao Chenji moved into the new house in the forest farm, it was already equipped with a kang built by Li Lijun with magic.Because many people thought it was good to use it, some masons specially studied the structure of the kang, and built a circle in other houses in the forest farm, and now everyone who uses it is full of praise.When the news came back to Bieye, many people were already ready to move.The day before yesterday, Er Hong went to the forest farm with Nanny Lu, and since he came back, he has been talking about the goodness of the heated kang, and today he finally couldn't help but open his mouth to Li Lijun.

Li Lijun's current body can be said to be invulnerable to cold and heat, no matter how cold it is, a few talismans can handle it.However, she has always been willing to create a comfortable living environment for the people around her. After hearing what Erhong said, she smiled and said, "I don't need to build this house, but you can have one for each of your rooms. The weather is not yet the coldest." When it’s time to do it, you have to do it quickly. Otherwise, when it snows, even if you want to build it, I’m afraid those mud bricks won’t listen to you.”

Erhong hurriedly jumped up and ran to talk to Nanny Cui.After a while, Nanny Cui and Nanny Lu followed her.

If it is really necessary to add a kang to the house in Bieye, it is not a small project. It is impossible to finish it this winter. We can only satisfy a few people with higher status.Others have to endure another cold winter, and wait until the beginning of next spring to build their share.

Li Lijun thought that if he used spells to build the kang, it would only take half a day, and it would not take much trouble.It's just that not everyone in the family knows that she is practicing, so it seems unnecessary to be so public.She looked at Nanny Cui, and asked tentatively, "Is there anything I need to do?"

Mother Cui smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, little lady, this matter can be resolved by the old slave and A Lu. There are only a few masons who know how to build a heated kang. Let's build the main house first, and then we will wait There is a place for guests, and there is also a guest courtyard or something. Mr. Erlang from Prince Zou's Mansion may come to see you. Besides, Team Ding can't treat you badly over there. It doesn't matter where our servants live. We will wait until next spring when we are free. Build again, it’s the same.”

Nanny Lu nodded: "That's exactly what you said. We don't need to worry about Zhao Chenji's buddies and craftsmen. Almost all of them live in the forest farm. The houses over there have been built for a long time, and even the newly built dyeing workshop They all have kangs.”

Speaking of this new dyeing workshop, Nanny Lu has something to say: "Is the dyeing workshop too small? It's quite warm, but the room is too small to accommodate a few dyeing vats."

Li Lijun said: "This dyeing workshop was originally used to research new dyes, and the official production still has to be carried out in the dyeing workshop in Chang'an City. The dyeing workshop in Chang'an City is equipped with everything. After dyeing, the materials are dried and cleaned. How convenient it is to send it to the store for sale. If we dye the material at the forest farm and then send it to Chang’an City, wouldn’t it be too much trouble? In contrast, after researching the dyeing recipe, the dye is formulated and then shipped Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to go to Beijing than directly transporting materials?"

Nanny Lu was persuaded: "Young lady is right. Our new dyeing recipe should be tested first, and then sent to the dyeing workshop in Chang'an after a good trial. In this way, we don't have to worry about the new dyeing workshop. There's a water problem."

Li Lijun said: "Although you don't have to worry about the water source, you should also remember to remind the craftsmen not to dump the used water casually, and remember to use the bottles I gave you last time for medicine. A pill, let it sit overnight after it’s used up, and it won’t be too late the next day.” It was a sewage treatment pill specially formulated by her, and the effect was quite good, but the cost was a bit high, and it was enough for a small dyeing workshop.

Nanny Lu agreed.In fact, she is also very curious about the principle that those few bottles of pills can quickly clarify a tank of water.Where did my little lady get this kind of magic medicine?If Zhao Chenji's dyeing workshop had already had this kind of thing, it would not be necessary to find a place to build a workshop every time, but to choose it near the river.

After Li Lijun finished talking about the dyeing workshop, he turned the topic back to the kang: "There are not enough masons, and there is no way to build a kang for everyone's house as soon as possible, so let's pick a few bigger houses and build a few. Big kang. On snowy days, people who don’t need to be on duty can gather on one kang to keep warm, which is convenient. If it’s an accounting room, sewing room, etc., build a big kang, and everyone will work on the kang when they are on duty. It’s done. The two mothers can also share a big kang, anyway, when you were in the palace, it’s not like you didn’t live in the same room.” The house where she lived didn’t need to build a kang, but a big kang could be built in the wing room. Yes, the maids can gather together to keep warm, and the nuns can also manage affairs in that room when necessary, and there is no need to bring everything to her to make decisions.

In fact, she didn't really want to take care of those trivial matters.

Nanny Lu hurriedly said: "How can this be done? Don't be annoyed, little lady, these are all your family property. Although the old slaves can take care of them, they will still be handed over to you in the future. The old slaves can't follow Your life. When you marry someone in the future, don’t you still have to be in charge of internal affairs?!”

Nanny Cui coughed: "It's okay, Alu, what's the point of the little lady only being lazy for a while in winter all year round? Spring, summer and autumn are enough for her to learn. There are so many cold days. People ran into the main house, it was really noisy, and even the door could not be closed properly. What if the little lady is cold from the wind? We are loyal to the little lady, so we take care of things for her So what? Just report the results and accounts to the young lady afterwards."

Nanny Lu doesn't know about Li Lijun's cultivation so far, and she still looks at Nanny Cui with a surprised expression, not understanding why she said that.But she would not argue with Nanny Cui in front of Li Lijun, that would be too rude.It's just that after leaving the house for a while, she must ask this old sister for clarification.

Qiu Xiang quietly carried the teapot into the room, and added freshly brewed hot tea to Li Lijun and the two nuns.

Nanny Lu glanced at her, smiled and said to Mr. Li Li: "This girl is usually quiet, and she doesn't seem to be outstanding at all. I didn't expect to go to Liujiazhuang with the little lady, and she was promoted to do something. Her luck."

Li Lijun smiled and said: "I used her when I was in Liujiazhuang, so I simply left her to serve tea and water. She still has a lot to learn, please teach her more."

"Don't dare, the old slave is just teaching the rules." Nanny Lu didn't mean anything else, but she was a little surprised that Qiuxiang was promoted without getting her own nod.She glanced at Qiuxiang again, feeling that she had underestimated this little girl.How long has the little lady been in Liujiazhuang?Qiuxiang actually fell into her eyes?

At this time, Shi Qing suddenly entered the room, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

Shi Qing came to report to Li Lijun: "Words came in from the front door, saying that Lin Jiulang came to visit the young lady."

Lin Jiulang?What is he here for?
