Chapter 678 First Skill

"See the prince and concubine." The housekeeper and a group of guards, soldiers, and officials were already waiting at the door.

Li Yuanbai sent someone to come and inform him in advance, so the mansion had already been cleaned up.

Li Yuanbai got out of the car first, and then stretched out his hand.

Everyone saw a white and slender hand stretched out from the carriage, and then someone gasped.Huo Qiqi's alluring face was revealed.She was wearing a white jacket with dots of red plum embroidered on it.On the outside is a big red fox fur cloak with white fox fur trim, and the waist is tied into a thin waist by a bright red belt, looking so fragile.

Li Yuanbai was already beautiful enough, but even though they were used to Li Yuanbai's beauty, everyone still thought Huo Qiqi was more beautiful.

There is always a difference between the soft beauty of a woman and the hard beauty of a man, isn't it?

Li Yuanbai didn't pretend to be someone else's hand, and directly stretched out his hand to hug Huo Qiqiban off the carriage.

"It's cold, go to the room. There is a brazier in the room, and it's already burning." Li Yuanbai said softly to Huo Qiqi.

Huo Qiqi nodded, she really wanted to stretch her waist, but when all the officials and soldiers saluted her, she was embarrassed to do so out of line, and greeted everyone with a smile.

Huo Qiqi's voice is pleasant and her smile is bright, many people's impression of her has changed.

Because at the beginning, everyone didn't feel very happy when they heard that Li Yuanbai had married the daughter of the Duke of Huguo, but many soldiers secretly felt aggrieved for Li Yuanbai.

Although it is said that such a marriage is well-matched, everyone has heard that Huo Qiqi has always liked to wear men's clothes in the capital, and she likes to visit brothels when she has nothing to do. Different people mix together all day.It is said that to talk about the absurd things that Huo Qiqi has done, it would take three days and three nights to talk endlessly.

The soldiers and officials in the Northland are different from other places. Many local civil servants and military officials are prone to conflicts and have always been at odds.But in the Northland, the contacts between civil officials and military officials have always been very close, and they are also very loyal to Li Yuanbai.The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and everyone is not stupid. It was Li Yuanbai who accompanied them through so many battles and sufferings, and the Northland was Li Yuanbai's fiefdom.It can be said that in the private hearts of everyone, Li Yuanbai is the master in their hearts.

Such a heroic master actually married a big idiot, and everyone felt extremely distressed.

Today they planned to find a chance to embarrass Princess Hui even if they offended the prince.Before the real meeting, Huo Qiqi turned out to be quite different from the legend.

Beauty is beauty, but there is no arrogance or domineering in her body.Moreover, he was very kind, smiling at everyone, and even greeted everyone proactively.

Forget it, let's wait and see.Besides, the concubine is willing to leave the capital and accompany the prince all the way to the north, her character is already very good.

Sure enough, she is a beauty, and she has privileges wherever she goes. No one realizes that everyone's thinking changes too fast.

Huo Qiqi is a female relative, so she didn't stay outside for too long.

After greeting everyone, she led her maids, Jiang Ting and the others to the backyard.

Although the mansion in the fief looks big, it is much simpler than the mansion in the capital.

The housekeeper was very quick to do things, and when Huo Qiqi entered his room, he immediately felt a burst of heat rushing towards his face.It turned out that there were four braziers in the house.

The brazier uses silver charcoal fire, and there is no smoke at all.

Huaxi and the others didn't care about rest, so they hurriedly cleaned up the room.

Hua Qiao went over to touch the quilt, and the quilt was obviously sun-dried, it was very thick, and it was all new.

Huo Qiqi looked at the furnishings in the room with interest.

The furnishing of the house was different from what she had imagined in the north, because it used beds instead of kangs.

In the cold climate of the Northland, if there is no kang, it would be so cold, and burning charcoal is not affordable for ordinary people.The cost is simply too high.

"Find someone to come and ask." Huo Qiqi ordered.

Jing Mu agreed and went down.

After a while, a middle-aged woman was brought in.

The woman looked very nervous when she entered the door, and kept pulling the corners of her clothes with both hands. Huo Qiqi smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't be nervous. I just arrived in Beidi and I'm not familiar with this place. I just want to ask, what about our place?" Is there a kang?"

Seeing that her voice was soft and soft, without the majesty of a princess, the woman finally became more courageous.She replied softly, "What is a kang?"

Come on, stop asking.Huo Qiqi chuckled, and someone took her back.

After the woman went out, someone soon asked her what the princess told her what she was doing in the house.

The woman said it once, and everyone was dumbfounded.Kang?I haven't heard of it, but since the princess asked, this thing must be very important.In order to curry favor with the good hostess, many people secretly thought about going to the heated kang.

Li Yuanbai came back a bit late, and after entering the room, he saw Huo Qiqi sitting by the brazier, with a few sweet potatoes beside the brazier, Xiao Lanxin was also in the room, sitting in her arms.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Li Yuanbai asked her.

"Why is there no kang in the house?" Huo Qiqi asked.

"Fire Kang?" Li Yuanbai was taken aback.

"My lord doesn't know about Kang?" Huo Qiqi asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Li Yuanbai answered honestly. "I heard that you are looking for a kang, and the servants of the mansion have already gone out to inquire."

Huo Qiqi was dumbfounded, she just asked casually, but unexpectedly, all the servants in the mansion knew about it.

Will there be rumors that she enjoys luxury and can't endure hardship again the next day?
Huo Qiqi gave the little guy to Hua Qiao to hold, and then picked up a pen to draw a simple picture of Kang for Li Yuanbai.

Li Yuanbai took the drawing and looked at it for a while. He is also a smart person and quickly understood the tricks in it.If the kang made by Huo Qiqi can not only solve the problem of heating the house in winter, but also solve the problem of sleeping and seating in the house.

The northern region is known as a bitter cold zone. It is very cold most of the year, and the people do not take proper measures to keep warm. Every year in the severe cold season in winter, countless deaths and injuries will occur to the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.If you have a kang, you can solve this problem well.

The most important thing is that the waste of firewood on the kang is not too much. When ordinary people cook, they can solve the problem of heating for a day.

"My lord, what do you think?" Huo Qiqi asked with a smile.My God, can everyone stop looking at her with admiration, she really didn't come up with this thing, at best she copied it from a gourd, and accidentally added some modern principles of mechanics, heat, and aerodynamics to it. .

"Okay, Qiqi, that's great." Li Yuanbai put down the blueprint, and held her hand excitedly, reluctant to let it go.Qi Qi was indeed his lucky star, and on the first day he arrived in the fief, he was given such a big surprise.

"If the prince wants to popularize it, that's fine too." Huo Qiqi said with a smile.

"You want to make a fortune?" Li Yuanbai asked.

"I don't pay much attention to this small amount of money. However, I can't make it cheaper for those rich people. The prince can find some people who have a difficult life and know some bricklaying skills, let them learn how to make a kang, and then they can use it when they are rich. People bring apprentices to practice, and eventually they will become popular.”
