A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

/

Dad, how about I build a new place for you? "

Zhao Shu always felt that he owed his father, so he felt very guilty.

"What are you repairing?" Zhao Yunrang sat on the bed and said angrily: "I am used to living here, and I am very familiar with every plant and tree. They are almost like my children... I will miss them when I leave here."

Zhao Shu knew that his father did not want to drag him down, so he could only smile bitterly.

"Guan family, Shen An is here."

When Shen An came in and saluted, Zhao Yun shouted and asked, "Where are my things?"

As he said this, he felt better and his face became redder.

Shen An said proudly: "Don't worry, Prince, but what if I succeed?"

Zhao Yunrang scolded: "Don't you still want me to marry you a granddaughter? If you want it, I can send my two granddaughters to your house later..."

"Forget it."

Shen An smiled dryly and said: "I remember that the king had a calligraphy and painting. Last time, the king said that the calligraphy was not pleasing to the eye and wanted to throw it away. I thought about giving it to me..."

If he marries Lao Zhao's granddaughter, he will become relatives of Lao Zhao's family later on. After becoming relatives, you can no longer live freely.

Zhao Yunrang was startled and asked: "Which one?"

Zhao Shu was also curious.

After he ascended the throne, he gave many things to his father, including many calligraphy and paintings.

But he remembered that the gifts he gave were all high-quality products! Why is it still so unsightly?

Could it be that some treacherous slave had done something secretly?

He couldn't help but look at Chen Zhongheng, his eyes were a little cold.

Damn it!

Chen Zhongheng knew what Zhao Shu was thinking and could only cry out for injustice in his heart.

The conscience of heaven and earth, this matter has nothing to do with me!

Shen An said: "It's that... accumulated time sticker."

In an instant, Zhao Shu had the urge to do something. He touched a book and threw it over, but Shen An caught it with a smile.

That's Yu Shinan's authentic work!

Zhao Shu liked that calligraphy very much, but he thought that his father also liked calligraphy and painting, so he asked someone to send it to him.

That’s a time accumulation sticker!

This wonderful piece of calligraphy is truly a treasure!

"As expected, you are a cunning one!" Zhao Shu was angry, but Zhao Yunrang laughed and scolded: "You Shen'an has a nickname in Bianliang, called a calligraphy and painting idiot. When you see good calligraphy and painting, you want to take it home. I'm going up. The first time I took a post to appreciate it, you saw it... At that time, you said it was indeed peerless calligraphy. Why? Now you think this post should be thrown away? "

Shen An smiled and said: "Most of the calligraphy and paintings in my home are from modern times or written by people at that time. I can't help but be fascinated by the wonderful calligraphy and painting of my predecessors!"

"This is extortion, aren't you afraid that I will deal with you?" Zhao Yunrang said with a straight face, looking very scary.

Zhao Shu took a look and saw that most of his children looked scared, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When the old man gets old, he likes to play with others!

Huh!

Yes, he must be bored when I get along with him seriously, right?

But Shen An's playful attitude made him very happy.

"Maybe that thing of yours is worth Yu Shinan's exquisite calligraphy?" Zhao Yunrang asked with a cold face.

"Guaranteed value." Shen An still smiled without any panic.

"Then take a look."

Then Shen An asked someone to bring the things in.

"Punch a hole in the roof!"

Several craftsmen climbed up to the roof, followed by guards who climbed up to supervise.

"What is this doing?" Zhao Shu stood outside and looked curiously.

"This is drilling a hole." Shen An glanced inside. Several guards guarded the bed nervously. They all raised their heads, apparently worried that the craftsmen would get something down.

Later, after the hole was finished, Shen An asked someone to bring the stove in, and then set it up.

After the stove was completed, some thick smoke pipes were passed through the hole in the roof, one end was outside the roof, and the other end was inserted into the exhaust port of the stove.

"Come and make a cover on your door to prevent rain from getting into the pipe."

The craftsmen quickly made a cover, and Shen An had already started to light a fire below.

First he ignited the firewood, then added the coals. Shen An closed the lid and listened to the sound of the smoke pipe pulling the flame upwards. He sighed with emotion: "This thing is used to heat water and cook. It is really useful. !”

The coal was ignited. Shen An stoked the fire, added a few small pieces of coal, and then asked someone to get a copper kettle and put it on the mouth.

squeak……

The flames licked the bottom of the pot, making a squeaking sound.

Shen An sat beside the stove and frowned, "It's a little hot."

Zhao Shu came over and reached out to touch the pipe below...

"Officials, be careful!" Shen An hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but it was too late.

Zhao Shu's hand touched the pipe below, then retracted, his cheeks shook a few times, and he said calmly: "What is this?"

"This is the stove." Shen An recalled the years when the family would sit around the stove and enjoy hot pot.

"Stove?" Zhao Shu stood with his hands behind his back, his right hand constantly stretching and contracting.

"Boil water here, and the prince can make tea at any time. And..." Shen An said seriously: "Why does the prince feel suffocated? The first is dryness, so boil water. The water vapor can relieve the pain. Dry. The second thing is that charcoal fire is poisonous, no matter how good the charcoal is."

Chen Zhongheng said in confusion: "Those are the best charcoals, and they all say they are not poisonous."

"Them?" Shen An smiled, "There is a saying in miscellany that when something burns, something will be released. Most of these things are not good at all. That's why I built this stove."

Shen An stood up, pointed at the pipe and said, "Look at this pipe. The coal is usually filled with smoke when burning."

"Yes, and there is also a pungent smell that makes people want to cough." Zhao Yunrang could feel the warmth at this moment. He couldn't help but walked over and said happily: "Is this thing useful?"

Shen An said reservedly: "Just use it. This thing is to remove the layer of stuff inside every once in a while and reattach it. You don't need to worry about the rest."

This was something that was only available almost a thousand years later. It was impossible to play with before the large-scale popularization of steel, so after Shen An came up with it, he immediately amazed Zhao Yunrang and his son.

"Good stuff!"

Zhao Yunrang sat opposite Shen An, as curious as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking here and there, and finally picked up the copper kettle and looked at the burning coals.

Zhao Shu was also a little moved.

The palace also relied on charcoal basins for heating, but charcoal basins made people dry and stuffy, making them uncomfortable over time.

And if the charcoal is not good, people may die.

Chen Zhongheng was the most emotional about this, "The palace is heated by burning charcoal. Several people are poisoned to death every year because of burning charcoal, but it can't be done without burning!"

Zhao Shu said seriously: "Is this thing easy to use?"

He had to test Shen An before using it. After all, he was too embarrassed to take it for nothing!

Shen An smiled and said, "Maybe the official family will have lunch here today?"

Normally, people have two meals a day and no lunch. But Zhao Shu has no tendency to abuse himself. Three meals a day are a must, and he occasionally has a midnight snack.

Zhao Shu nodded, and Shen An turned around and said, "Old Chen, let's make a hot pot."

Chen Zhongheng agreed, and then personally went to the kitchen to supervise those people preparing ingredients and soup base.

When the water boiled, Shen An asked Asu to make a cup of tea for Zhao Yunrang, then closed the lid and placed the kettle on the lid.

In this way, the firepower is smaller, but the water is still boiling and steam is constantly floating out of the spout.

"I feel comfortable." Zhao Yunrang felt warm all over, so he took off his cloak, "It makes breathing much easier. Why is that?"

Shen An pointed at the steam coming out, "Prince, the air we breathe has moisture in it. Think about it, during the rainy season, does your breathing feel a little damp?"

Zhao Yunrang nodded, and Shen An continued: "The weather has been drier these days, and the charcoal pot is roasting, which has removed all the water vapor in the house. So, will it feel better if you breathe it in dryly?"

"Yes!" Zhao Yunrang leaned over the side of the steam and took a few intoxicated breaths. Then he was burned and laughed dryly: "As expected, he is a master of miscellaneous studies... This steam seems to be life-saving. Looking back, Thirteenth Lang also Get a few of them into the palace, just ask me how much they cost."

The old guy knew that his son was moved, but he was embarrassed to speak, so he shamelessly made his request.

"That copybook..." Shen An said with a pure face: "I don't have any hobbies, I just like to think about calligraphy and painting."

This is shameless!

Chen Zhongheng's cheeks trembled slightly, and Zhao Shu blinked his eyes, feeling that he was really...unlucky to have such a minister!

Zhao Yunrang wrinkled his old face into a chrysanthemum, "You really want this? I love this calligraphy. That Yu Shinan's calligraphy is really light and wonderful..."

I just like his lightness!

Ever since Shen An saw Ji Shi Tie once at Zhao Yunrang's place, he has been deeply in love with it and wished he could steal it home and savor it every day.

"The prince..."

Shen An's eyes were firm, thinking that if you don't give it, he still has a trump card!

"Prince, there is another treasure!"

Um?

Zhao Yunrang immediately changed his smile, "What baby?"

Shen An asked: "Do you use a tub for bathing?"

Zhao Yunrang nodded, and Shen An sighed: "It's too simple!"

"Speak clearly." The old man is most afraid of the cold. Zhao Yunrang's illness this time was due to the cold in the shower, so he couldn't help but move after hearing this: "If it's good, the accumulated time sticker will be yours."

"A gentleman's word!"

Shen An stretched out his hand.

No matter how big or small!

Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Zhao Yunrang stretched out his hand and high-fived Shen An three times, and it was settled.

"The hot pot is here."

The hot pot was placed on the stove, and the soup was boiling instantly.

"Here's the food, here's the food!"

In the Song Dynasty, the meal system was divided, but hot pot was a bit inconvenient because each pot required a clay oven. So I got serving chopsticks and everyone ate together.

"Get more mutton."

Rinse the mutton cut into slices for a few times, then dip it in water and put it into your mouth. The taste...

So delicious!

After Shen An ate a piece, when he looked again, he found that Zhao Yunrang had poured a whole plate of mutton into it.

"Come here, everyone, Thirteenth Lang, hurry up."

Zhao Shu was a little touched by the old guy's subconscious actions.

They still regard me as a child, and are afraid that I will suffer a loss if I eat less!

In the mist, Zhao Shu felt that this hot pot meal was the most delicious one he had ever eaten, and it was not the only one in UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net.

After eating, Zhao Yunrang said that he was full and wanted to go out for a walk. An imperial doctor muttered that seeing the wind again might aggravate his condition.

"Go." Shen An, who had been thinking about the accumulated time notes, encouraged: "Get a carriage. The sun is shining outside, so it will be fine."

Zhao Shu frowned, a little worried, and Shen An said, "I have a bathroom in my house. Your Majesty, I didn't like bathing before, but since the bathroom was built, it has become his favorite place to go."

"Go and have a look." Zhao Yunrang was tempted and urged Zhao Shu to send the imperial doctors away quickly.

Then the father and son followed Shen An to Yulin Lane.

Zhao Yunrang was dumbfounded when he saw the Shen family's bathroom.

"These are grains of sand. Burn a charcoal fire below, and the sand will gradually warm up. A person lies on it and buries himself in the sand. His whole body will be warm, even his bones will be warm... Your Majesty, this is the best for you. But that’s it.”

The old man is most afraid of the cold in winter and feels that even his bone marrow is frozen. And this kind of heated sand makes you lazy from the outside in, so it’s perfect.

Zhao Yunrang couldn't bear it any longer. He coughed dryly and said, "I suddenly feel itchy all over my body. Thirteenth Prince... you go back first."

This shameless guy couldn't wait to experience it.

Zhao Shu felt it was too embarrassing, but Old Zhao waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and light the fire. Who...go home and get the time coupons."
