The arrival of Sun Lan made Zhu Hao have some changes in his private life while he was busy with work.
For a woman like Sun Lan, who comes from a well-known family, she never even had the chance to leave home in the past. Now she not only often helps Lou Suzhen with her workshop business, but also sees and learns a lot of mechanical equipment that she has never seen before. Now she also has the opportunity to go to this place in Xishan.
Visit a town with the prototype of an industrial city based on coal mines.
Make her feel very novel.
After arriving, accompanied by Zhu Hao personally, the two of them took a tour around Xishan, but they did not go near coal mines and smelting plants, which were relatively smoky places.
"well enough?"
When night was about to fall, Zhu Hao took Sun Lan back to the other courtyard.
This is Zhu Hao's residence in Xishan. After renovation, it is larger than his home in the capital. These days, you can build whatever house you want. There are many modern things in the house.
“So warm.”
When Sun Lan entered the house, she felt something different.
The heavy clothes on my body seemed redundant.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "This is water heating. Did you see anything on the wall? There are stoves for heating hot water all around. The hot water will flow in it. In this way, the room will no longer be afraid of the cold, and the same will happen at home.
Change it to another one."
"Um."
Sun Lan went over to look at it with great interest. Thinking that Zhu Hao had thought carefully about installing one at home, she felt that this was what a family should look like.
"After visiting the city I built with my own hands, I will show you the houses here. This can be considered our home in Xishan."
Zhu Hao took Sun Lan around the yard. Sun Lan was dazzled by the many novel things.
Finally, Zhu Hao took Sun Lan to a strange room: "This is the shower room. There is hot water all year round, twelve hours a day. If you turn on this switch, the water will flow."
"How...how to use this?"
Sun Lan was very curious.
After all, there is no such thing as a shower these days, so Sun Lan naturally doesn't know how to operate it.
Zhu Hao smiled and gave a demonstration. When Sun Lan saw the steaming water spraying out from the fluffy head, he was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"It's the same principle as water heating. This hot water comes from the smelting plant. The large-scale steel smelting there will basically not stop burning coal, so the hot water here will not be cut off," Zhu Hao said.
"Um."
Sun Lan nodded and suddenly blushed.
Zhu Hao said: "You have worked hard all the way. It is not convenient to take a bath at home in winter, so I won't disturb you. Can you wash up first? If you find it inconvenient, I will have someone prepare hot water for you and use a bathtub to bathe."
.”
Sun Lan shook her head: "No need to prepare anything else, this... is good."
Apparently Sun Lan is also a woman who is brave enough to try new things, and she is very interested in new shower equipment.
Just when Zhu Hao was about to go out, Sun Lan suddenly added: "But I don't know how to use it. Can your husband teach me in person?"
This is no longer a hint, but an invitation.
It has been two years since the couple got married. No longer the ignorant person she was when they first got married, Sun Lan has gradually acquired the charm of a mature woman. She has transformed from a boudoir girl who never left the house.
She became a woman who started to learn how to run a household and had her own career.
It can be said that Sun Lan now has more charm of women in the new era.
Zhu Hao nodded, walked over, and took Sun Lan into his arms: "I said, we should be like a normal couple, and we shouldn't see each other like this anymore."
When Sun Lan heard this, she felt somewhat excited.
For her, she had been waiting for her husband's approval, and it wasn't until this moment that she really did it.
…
…
In the first month of the year, the land of Xishan is still covered with ice and snow. The snow that fell at the beginning of the year has still not melted by the Lantern Festival.
But for Zhu Hao and Sun Lan in this room, it was a very warm night.
Originally, some things should be carried out step by step... But for the two of them, any progress is not unexpected. After all, they are a couple who have been married for two years, and they have finally taken the final step of consummating their marriage.
And Zhu Hao will become a teacher that night.
Teach Sun Lan to accomplish great things in life.
Of course, it all starts with teaching Sun Lan how to use a shower.
The room was filled with heat. Sun Lan finally appeared in front of Zhu Hao without any reservation. Zhu Hao did not need to sit upright. At this moment, Zhu Hao seemed to be appreciating art, just like appreciating everyone else.
The two of them spent nearly an hour just taking a bath.
Fortunately, the hot water comes from the smelting plant. After heating, it is delivered to each house through huge pipes buried deep in the ground. It can be said that there is an endless supply, so there is no need to worry about getting cold.
Originally, people who lived in this era, especially northerners, had natural resistance to cold. People who had been screened by generations of harsh environments were more accustomed to severe cold.
People who are afraid of the cold have probably been eliminated by nature long ago.
Then……
When Sun Lan was carried by Zhu Hao and reached their bedroom, Sun Lan had already closed her eyes and gave all the control to her husband.
"Are you scared?"
Zhu Hao asked with a smile.
Sun Lan finally opened her eyes and shook her head in confusion.
She didn't understand why Zhu Hao asked her this.
“I have so many secrets in my heart that I can’t share them with the people in this world. I can’t tell them where I come from, and I can’t tell them what my future plans are. But I feel that I should have nothing to do with my other half.
Without reservation, so after tonight, I will tell you a lot of things, just keep it a secret for me."
Zhu Hao felt that it was necessary to tell Sun Lan something.
Even Tang Yin wants to know why he has been so awesome since he was young. Why can't he tell his wife in detail that he is a time traveler?
Especially now that the two have a heart-to-heart relationship, Zhu Hao has great trust in Sun Lan and he doesn't have to worry about Sun Lan telling his secrets.
There was something misty in Sun Lan's eyes when she looked at her husband.
Trust this thing...
For couples in this era, it is actually very precious. Couples who were cultivated by their parents' orders and matchmakers' words would get on the bus first and then buy the tickets. They could not understand each other before marriage, let alone talk about it.
in-depth communication.
Especially those who are officials.
This era is a patriarchal society, and it is even more difficult for women to gain respect from their husbands.
"Okay, I won't tell you this."
Zhu Hao smiled and put his hand on Sun Lan's warm cheek, "Are you ready?"
"Um."
No more words are needed at this time.
Zhu Hao even knew that for the rest of the night, any words would be superfluous. He only needed to feel the closeness between husband and wife...
…
…
The red candle is lit.
For Zhu Hao and Sun Lan, this is the day they really get married.
Zhu Hao didn't arrange any errands for himself that night. Even if Zhu Si sent someone to inform him to go back to the capital to discuss something, he still had to postpone it until the next day.
Sun Lan's enthusiasm was something Zhu Hao didn't expect. It's probably because Sun Lan cherishes this relationship more.
In history, Sun Lan, who had never married and had no conjugal life because she was proposed by Zhu Youji, changed her destiny because of Zhu Hao's appearance, and she could finally be a normal person... maybe
Even Sun Lan knew that if her husband hadn't come to the rescue, she might have been alone with her sister-in-law for the rest of her life.
And her husband is a mythical existence in front of her.
To others, being the number one scholar is an expectation, but to Zhu Hao, it is a reality.
What's more, Zhu Hao is so talented that Sun Lan has been obsessed with her for a long time. For Sun Lan... Zhu Hao is like her idol. Now that she has finally been recognized by her husband, she feels that she is the happiest woman in the entire Ming Dynasty.
.
But it's a pity.
Passion is enthusiasm.
In the end, my daughter's family still has a slight disadvantage in the matter of housing.
Zhu Hao is the time when the newborn calf is in the prime of life.
It was not until the dead of night, when even the red candles had burned out, that Zhu Hao hugged the exhausted Sun Lan and told stories as if they were happening in the horizon.
"...It was a beautiful world, with high-rise buildings and bright lights, just like a paradise on earth. But it has to go through hundreds of years of changes. Unfortunately, I will never be able to go back."
Zhu Hao didn't go into too much detail about where that place was.
Sun Lan leaned in Zhu Hao's arms, listened to her husband's strong heartbeat, and asked: "Then why doesn't my husband turn this place into that place?"
"Disaster."
Zhu Hao said, "Actually, my goal has always been to achieve this, but it is too difficult for me alone.
"After all, I'm not a god, just a mortal. I don't really understand many things. I can only try my best to change them, so I need power, and I also need your majesty's absolute trust, but I will remain a lifelong minister.
, many goals are destined to be unachievable.”
Sun Lan thought for a while and asked: "If you are not a minister, what can you do?"
Zhu Hao smiled.
If you are not a minister, you will naturally become an emperor.
But there is no third option, perhaps moving overseas, completing the idea of colonizing overseas, and then establishing your own empire overseas.
At that time, he can even take his warships and fight back to the Ming Dynasty...
But in the end, these words could not be told to Sun Lan, although Sun Lan might have guessed that her husband's intention was not just to be a servant who depended on others.
"I won't be returning to the capital recently."
Zhu Hao said, "Don't go back yet, we will stay here and enjoy our world together. I work during the day, and you can go sightseeing around when you have time."
"good."
Sun Lan nodded.
Zhu Hao suddenly thought of something and felt a little offended, but he still mentioned it: "Actually, there is another concubine who has joined my Zhu family, but I have never accepted her into the family."
When Sun Lan heard this, she suddenly hugged her husband tighter.
She said: "I know."
"you know?"
Zhu Hao was a little surprised.
Sun Lan nodded: "It was my sister from the Lou family who told me. I was worried at first because my husband put his heart in her. After I found out the whole story from my sister, I realized that it was a misunderstanding. My husband, as long as you have my heart in your heart."
I have a place, I will listen to you in everything."
