It was getting dark, and Zhu Changluo asked Wang An to arrange the residences of Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli.

Wang An carefully led Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli to a new house that had just been built. The wood smell inside was new. Moreover, the green plants and decorations in the courtyard had not been laid out in time.

Now there is just a frame, but this frame has already shown how extraordinary this courtyard is.

Although it still looks like an antique wooden building from the outside, if you take a closer look inside, you will find that the carved windows inside are no longer just a layer of window paper.

Instead, the masters of the glass factory made fuzzy opaque glass with colorful patterns according to Zhu Changluo's requirements. In Zhu Changluo's opinion, this kind of glass has a strong style of the 1980s and 1990s. But this era is full of impact!

Nowadays, anyone who sees such glass window decorations can't help but look at it twice, or even touch it.

There are two layers of curtains above each window, one thick and one thin. This design also facilitates the lighting and privacy needs of indoor people when they are resting.

When you go inside the house, the first thing you see is that there are bright candle lampstands with glass covers placed or hanging in various places in the house. The whole room is extremely bright, and there is no feeling of darkness and discomfort at all.

Although this courtyard has not yet taken shape, it already gives people a low-key and luxurious feeling. Even Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli, who are used to seeing all kinds of high-end luxury furniture, were still shocked by this quiet courtyard.

This is simply the life of a hermit in a dream paradise.

At this time, Zhu Changluo gave another demonstration. He went to the door, took off his cotton boots, only wore a thin layer of silk white socks, and stepped on the solid wood floor of the house.

When Queen Mother Li saw Zhu Changluo like this, she quickly said in surprise: "Chang Luo, you haven't put on your shoes yet, the ground is cold."

Zhu Changluo stood on the floor in the room and turned back to Queen Mother Li and said, "Grandma, it's okay. The ground is not cold. You can also take off your shoes and come in to try."

Empress Dowager Li had long wanted to go in and take a look. This house had such a great impact on Empress Dowager Li that every aspect of it attracted her to go in and get to know it better.

Emperor Wanli couldn't bear it any longer and said: "Mother, my sons and ministers will try it first."

After saying that, Emperor Wanli took off his shoes, stepped on the fluffy mat in front of the door and entered the house.

As soon as he stepped on the floor, he immediately felt the slight heat on the floor, warming the soles of his feet.

Emperor Wanli said excitedly: "What's going on?" Then he said to Queen Mother Li: "Mother, the floor is warm."

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li also took off her boots under the service of the palace maids and eunuchs, and then entered the house.

The warm heat made Queen Mother Li feel comfortable physically and mentally. She had never experienced such enjoyment.

Queen Mother Li also asked Zhu Changluo: "What's going on here, Chang Luo?"

Zhu Changluo walked over and carefully supported Empress Dowager Li and said: "Royal Grandma, this courtyard was specially built for you by my grandson. This underground floor was made by my grandson according to the kang bed making method in Liaodong area. There are twists and turns inside.

The heating pipes are all taken over from the smoky workshop over there. When the workshop burns coal, a lot of heat will escape, and the heat will be wasted if it floats out directly, so the grandson let

The craftsmen in the workshop thought of a way to take out the excess heat for heating. Unexpectedly, they actually came up with a way, so these heaters were connected under the floor in the room."

After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, Queen Mother Li praised: "Chang Luo is so wonderful that he thought of such a way to keep warm. The Queen Mother really likes this place more and more."

Emperor Wanli followed closely and said: "I am the same."

Zhu Changluo said: "If Grandma Huang doesn't dislike it, you can spend the whole winter here."

Queen Mother Li said in surprise: "Is this okay?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Of course, this is dedicated to you by my grandson. You can live in it however you want."

Emperor Wanli also intervened at this time: "Can I do it too?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Is there anything in the world that is not the royal land? My father can be wherever he wants. I will immediately ask someone to build another courtyard like this."

Emperor Wanli said excitedly: "Okay, okay, my good son."

As a result, before Emperor Wanli could become happy, Empress Dowager Li said with a straight face: "How can the emperor be greedy for pleasure? So many important state affairs in the palace need to be decided by you. What will the court do when you get here?"

At this time, Emperor Wanli turned off the fire again.

Emperor Wanli could only say calmly: "This is what my mother taught me."

At this time, Zhu Changluo quickly smoothed things over and said: "Grandma Imperial, my father is usually very busy with state affairs, and sometimes his body is overwhelmed, so that it is inevitable that he will have some headaches and brain swelling. It is human nature to occasionally come to the Xishan Imperial Manor to recuperate. Like this

The grandson can also be filial and serve his father by his side."

When Emperor Wanli heard that Zhu Changluo was speaking for him, he was so moved that he was such a good son.

After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, Queen Mother Li also looked at Emperor Wanli and thought that her son usually had some minor health problems, so she relented and said: "The emperor is usually tired, so he can go to the Xishan Imperial Manor to recuperate.

.But remember not to miss state affairs."

Emperor Wanli was overjoyed after hearing this and said, "Thank you so much, Queen Mother."

Then the grandfather and grandson chatted happily in this room and took a rest for a while. After all, they came from the Forbidden City and walked around the glass greenhouse. The whole day passed and there was no serious rest.

after a while.

Now, this can be regarded as a good rest.

After a while, Wang An carefully walked to the door of the courtyard. He called softly into the room: "Master, the dinner is ready."

At this time, Zhu Changluo said: "Imperial grandmother, father, Wang An and others have prepared dinner. Please move to the restaurant to have dinner."

Queen Mother Li said: "Okay. Let's go have a meal."

Then Empress Dowager Li got up with the help of Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo. When she got to the door, she put on her warm boots and went out under the service of the palace maids and eunuchs.

When we arrived at the restaurant in Xishan Huangzhuang, this restaurant was relatively simple, with one feature: it was big.

In the middle of the restaurant, a table has been placed, and behind the table is a screen carved with dragons and phoenixes. There are also some flower pots and hanging baskets as decorations, with green flowers and plants planted inside.

.These flowers and plants are grown in glass greenhouses.

When they arrived at the dining table, Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli saw a cylindrical chimney in the middle of the table. This chimney was very strange in length and seemed to have a ring-shaped pot around it.

Zhu Changluo introduced: "Grandmother and father, this is the special dish of Xishan Huangzhuang. It's called 'hot pot'. This hot pot is hot and very suitable for eating in winter. You can cook all the food you want in it, and then

Then add some dipping sauce according to your own taste, it will taste great."

The reason why Zhu Changluo created hot pot was because he discovered that there were chili peppers in the Ming Dynasty at this time!

Moreover, these peppers were actually used as a kind of bonsai plant for planting and viewing. In Zhu Changluo's opinion, this was simply a natural gift! So, he asked workers to pick it and make it into chili oil, and this is how we have the current hot pot feast.

Otherwise, a hot pot without chili is a hot pot without a soul and does not deserve to be called a hot pot.
