The weather is getting colder and colder, and with a combination of rain and snow, the winter of Yonghui's fourth year has arrived.

Winter in this era is the season of self-cultivation. As the temperature drops, people's activity frequency also decreases, and their mood becomes sleepy, as if they are about to enter hibernation.

Due to the huge profits from toilet water, the economic strength of the Wang family has been upgraded to a higher level. The charcoal in the charcoal stove in the back house has been replaced with more hygienic and durable bamboo charcoal. I asked the housekeeper to distribute the remaining charcoal to the house.

The servants will not be wasted after all.

Qin Yu has replaced his cousin from the Du family, and he has entered the Guards as he wished, and has become a glorious mid-level officer of the Tang Dynasty. Military constraints prevent him from coming to class as frequently as before, so I took the next step

Regarding the holiday homework, give him appropriate arrangements for his homework, and wait for him to come to my place when he is free, hand over the completed ones, and take away the newly assigned ones, so that it is convenient for everyone.

Cheng Chu still came to class on time. Without Qin Yu as his companion, Cheng Chu seemed to have suddenly enlightened, and his understanding had improved a lot. This change made me happy. Is this the legendary rule of evolution? When a species becomes extinct,

New species will appear soon to fill this gap. And Cheng Chu just filled the vacancy left by Qin Yu, so he evolved? This is a good thing, both for teachers and students. I teach easily and he also makes progress.

It's fast, very good.

Early in the morning, I saw two clear snot hanging under the noses of my two daughters, which made me realize that I should take some necessary heating measures. It is not yet the harsh winter, and the sudden drop in temperature will still have some impact on the health of my family.

. Although a charcoal stove has been set up in the house, a small charcoal stove cannot take care of such a large room. After all, the temperature of bamboo charcoal is not comparable to that of coke.

Guanzhong is relatively rich in coal resources, but I don’t know where to mine it specifically. I can only think about peat first. There are two types of peat in our country, one is buried peat and the other is exposed peat.

.Exposed peat is very common. I often go to the papermaking workshop. When I pass by Zhuangzi, I often see farmers using peat pens to build pig pens.

There is a lot of peat, what should we do if it comes down? If we put a stove in the house, it won’t be long before everyone gets gassed, and we need to build a chimney. I took a piece of paper and wrote and drew for a long time, but I have no clue. It seems that in this era

It is indeed not easy to build a chimney. If you don’t have a chimney, you have to think of another way, a fireplace? After looking at the structure of the house, you need to poke a hole in the roof. You can try it in other houses. The main house is not ready yet.

I have a headache thinking about it, so I’ll eat sugar-coated haws on a stick first. I’ve become more greedy recently, maybe because I don’t move too much, and I only dig and scratch at my mouth all day long. Since the invention of this candied haws, the family of three have become fans of the candied haws, especially the

The second daughter woke up early in the morning and started chewing. After a while, she was afraid that her teeth would be damaged and she couldn't stop talking.

It would be great if I had a cigarette. I haven’t smoked for half a year, so I should quit smoking. Why do I keep having this thought? My habit of smoking started when I was a freshman in high school. At that time, I went to his old school with my classmates.

When we were playing at home, one day the two of them hid at the end of the kang and secretly smoked... Come on, let's make a kang. The east wing is empty, so we can make a kang in that room. As for the damn iron chimney, let it go to hell.

After I told Ying my idea, I was questioned. People in Guanzhong don’t have the habit of sleeping on a kang, and many people don’t even understand what a kang is, including Ying. She thought my idea was incredible and full of earthy smell.

It might be more suitable if you go to the countryside to work in farming.

The kang is designed according to the coal-fired kang in rural Shanxi. The big kang occupies one-third of the room and is surrounded by a kang fence. A small door is left in the middle to divide the kang and the room into two spaces. If I want,

You can complete all the movements of a set of free exercise on the kang.

After the dish was made, people burned the peat and baked it for two full days to remove the moisture from the new kang, so that people could sleep on it.

"Are you going to sleep here in the winter?" Ying looked at this monster unaccustomedly, "It's too big, can you sleep there?"

The hair is long, the knowledge...forget it, in this dynasty, you can't distinguish between men and women by the length of their hair. I ignored her, I took a few calligraphy and paintings and hung them on the kang, but I still felt "empty" and "slutty", just a bit

Big, hehe.

Ying saw that I had started to arrange the decorations, so naturally she didn't fall behind others, so she directed the maids to put all the jewelry boxes, bronze mirrors, etc. on the floor. The two girls looked aside with their mouths pouted, their noses running, and they kept sniffing.

, looks very pitiful.

"What are you still waiting for? Hurry and get it for yourself. After a while, there won't be any place for you to put your things!" Seeing that the second girl looked unhappy, she quickly reminded her that the kang is so big that even three more people can sleep there.

Somersaults, let alone a little girl.

When the two girls heard what I said, they ran back to call for help. After a while, there were a lot of camphor boxes and sewing boxes, and they were all arranged next to the kang.

It's still a bit empty. When the Kang bed was installed, I just followed the proportions in my memory (the traditional Kang bed in rural Shanxi generally occupies 1/3 of the bedroom, and some can even occupy 2/5. It is no longer common now).

I didn't take into account the size of the room. I miscalculated! I just had to rush to customize a big Kang table tomorrow.

Oops, it’s not easy. The family of three has finally finished struggling. I don’t know if this thing is considered an invention. Maybe it is a rarity in Chang’an City. Go up and have a virgin sleep first. When Ying and the second daughter saw me getting on the bed, they also

They all climbed up freshly and made a lot of noise, which made me look down on them. Girls from wealthy families don't know the hardships of the working people. Why did I put this bed on the bed? Isn't it just to let them experience the life of poor lower-middle peasants?

What about the days? But landlords in Shanxi seem to sleep on big beds, which makes no sense.

At noon, the family of three was lying on the kang. It was raining outside and there was not much to do. It was quite cozy to be together. Except for being a little hot, everything was fine.

Let's just say that the fire has been burning for two days to warm the Kang. I quickly found someone to put out the fire. If it continues to burn, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night. Why is it the beginning of winter now? If I accidentally get angry,

It's no longer worth it.

I was directing the fire extinguishing when a servant came to inform me that Qin Yu was here.

Why are you here now? Qin Yu is soaked all over and is drinking hot tea in the vestibule.

"Why are Siye here now?" I turned around and ordered my servants to bring a charcoal basin over so that Qin Yu could take off his clothes and dry them.

Qin Yu hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Zihao, I came here specifically to say goodbye to you today. I have to rush back to pack my things immediately, and I will rush to Duanyou with the army the next day."

"Oh?" I wondered, "Why do we need to transfer troops from the Forbidden Army?"

"I received the news yesterday that the joint forces of Baekje and Mohe invaded Silla. General Zuo Wuwei has already taken action. This time, he mobilized nine soldiers from the pass to strengthen the right force to prevent Tibet from taking advantage of the situation." Qin Yu drank a few mouthfuls.

After finishing the tea, I turned around to say goodbye.

"Wait a minute, soldiers are the most dangerous thing in the country. If you keep fighting, you will win! Never have good intentions in your heart and give your opponent a chance to win!" I said solemnly.

"My little brother, please take my leave!"
