Chapter 89 The Wedding Room
"Who is she?" Princess Anqing stood next to He Xi, trying to hold her breath. He pretended to be angry, but there was a bit of timidity and anxiety in his eyes.
Princess Anqing didn't sleep well last night.
I have been worrying about this and that, and from time to time I turn on my phone and look at Liu Yifei's screensaver.
In fact, she didn't realize it herself, but she was already unable to extricate herself from He Xi.
It’s not that Princess Anqing is too easy to deceive. It is the gap between ancient concepts of love and modern concepts of love.
In ancient times, because of distance, communication, and various natural conditions. Or under social conditions, everyone's freedom is restricted. Many times, once you miss someone, it will last a lifetime.
If you miss the person in front of you, the chance of meeting another suitable person is not very high. And women are educated from beginning to end.
When you identify a person, you will instinctively devote yourself wholeheartedly.
But in modern times, everything is too free. There are so many choices. On the contrary, there is no solemn sense of love.
He Xi's feelings for Princess Anqing are far inferior to Princess Anqing's feelings for him. Seeing Princess Anqing's appearance, He Xi couldn't help but smile and said, "This person is an actor."
Princess Anqing said: "Actor?"
He Xi said: "They are the actors in those TV series you see."
Princess Anqing immediately equated this profession with that of an actor. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What a pity."
According to ancient standards, actors are really not worthy of attention. Because many actors in ancient times were part-time prostitutes. Of course, the kind of top celebrities are naturally well-paid, but they are a wild team in the countryside. The income is not much, most of them need extra income.
Famous actors are naturally few in number. Most actors have some sexy news of one kind or another.
And it sounds like he is an actor. Princess Anqing was relieved.
She was worried about He Xi's fiancée. Or wife. Even though they are hundreds of years apart now, they still come first and arrive first. She doesn't want to be a human being. It would be much better if he was an actor.
Because in her opinion, officials can support several actors. It's normal. She might also buy a few for He Xi in the future.
He Xi asked: "What's wrong?"
Princess Anqing shook her head and said, "Nothing?"
He Xi didn't know what Princess Anqing was thinking. Naturally, I didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he took the phone and turned it on. Look at the battery capacity. Opening NetEase Cloud Music, there are some pure music in his download list. After opening it, let Princess Anqing listen.
Experts listen to the rules, while laymen watch the excitement.
He Xi only heard the excitement, and he just thought it sounded good. But Princess Anqing is proficient in many musical instruments. It would be a lie to say how good it is. But he is an expert after all. She was shocked when she heard it.
Not to mention, various techniques. The sound alone made Princess Anqing’s jaw drop.
Because Princess Anqing knows musical instruments too well. This kind of clear sound cannot be played by many musical instruments nowadays. The musical instruments used by Princess Anqing were also first-class famous products in later generations, made by everyone in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The best in the world.
No matter what, it can't compare to the performance in this music.
He Xi saw Princess Anqing's expression changing and asked, "What's wrong?"
He Xi didn't know that many musical instruments in ancient times had the sound of silk and bamboo. That is to say, the strings on the instruments were silk strings. Although they had been processed a lot, they were essentially silk. Many of the strings in later generations were steel strings.
Although, steel strings are not as good as silk strings in some aspects. But in terms of overall expressiveness, it far exceeds that of silk strings.
When Princess Anqing heard this change, she felt that all her years of learning musical instruments were in vain. No matter what, I can't reach this level.
Princess Anqing said: "He Xi, can you tell me what the future will be like after six hundred years?"
He Xi pondered for a while and said: "Okay. However, there are some things that are unclear. We can go and see."
"Go and see!" Princess Anqing said somewhat confused.
He Xi said: "Let's go and see it."
------
After Princess Anqing reported to Queen Ma. He followed He Xi out of the palace.
The reason for leaving the palace is to see the new mansion.
This is their future home. It was the original Hu Weiyong Mansion. Only a ready-made mansion can satisfy Princess An'an and He Xi, who are getting married almost soon.
"Teacher." He Xi came over. An official from the Ministry of Works came over. Not someone else. It was Ge Tiangong.
He Xi nodded and said, "This is your master's wife."
Ge Tiangong immediately saluted and said: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Anqing glanced at He Xi and was very satisfied with the title and said: "My family, you're welcome. Get up."
Ge Tianggong agreed and said, "Thank you, Master."
He Xi said: "Go to the backyard."
This is not the first time He Xi has come here. It's just that he didn't make any adjustments to the entire Hu Weiyong Mansion, only the backyard. So that his body from six hundred years later can be placed.
To be honest, living in He Xi Palace was not very comfortable.
But there was no way, he couldn't decorate the Qianqing Palace.
Before the group reached the backyard, they saw a tall tower in the distance. Of course, the height of this kind of tower is based on the standards of the Ming Dynasty. If we use the standards of later generations, it is probably only three stories high.
Princess Anqing saw the traces of new construction on the tower and said, "What is this for?"
He Xi said: "This is used to store water." Then He Xi turned to Ge Tiangong and said: "Has it been repaired?"
Ge Tiangong said: "The teacher's creativity is ingenious. It has been repaired."
He Xi said: "Don't you want to see what he does? You'll know right away."
Follow the road several turns and arrive at the backyard.
This backyard is the master's residence and has a separate small yard. However, this is where the focus is on construction. Therefore, it is a bit messy, and there are many newly dug ravines on the ground. Princess Anqing looked around curiously.
As soon as He Xi entered the door, he turned aside. There is a row of pools with pipes on them and several faucets on them. They are all handmade from pure copper. Tightly fitted and watertight.
He Xi turned the faucet, and water flowed out.
Princess Anqing was shocked. She reached out to get the water and found that it was really water? Then he asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
He Xi said: "This is tap water. The water comes down from the water tower. The Shunzhi ceramic pipe comes here. It can be used as soon as it is opened in the future."
Princess Anqing thought to herself: "This will probably be a very common thing six hundred years later." It's not easy for outsiders to ask questions here. Instead, he said, “How does the water get up to the water tower?”
Ge Tiangong smiled apologetically and said, "Master, I don't know. The teacher specially designed a water wheel to lift the water directly into the water tower. No manpower is needed at all."
Princess Anqing looked at He Xi. He Xi touched her nose and said, "Let's go, this is just the beginning. There are still many things in it."
Princess Anqing immediately felt the difference as soon as she followed He Xi into the room.
There is no time to place any furniture inside, and the only thing that has been placed is a bed. In other words, this bed didn't go out at all. Without him, this is a bed. The whole bed is like a separate small room. Moving it once is very laborious.
Princess Anqing's attention was not on the Babu bed. After all, this Babu bed was a very common object for her. What Princess Anqing lamented was the overall style of the room, which was covered with discernible floors. Princess Anqing hardly dared to move.
He Xi pulled Princess Anqing and walked inside, sighing and saying: "Actually, the space for renovation here is not too big. After all, it is an old house, it is just makeshift. Come in and take a look." He Xi suddenly thought of something and turned his head To the people behind him, he said: "You all stay outside."
As the wedding date of Princess Anqing and He Xi approaches, the queen no longer cares about them.
Naturally, these people dare not offend them.
He Xi took Princess Anqing around inside. This is a five-entry suite. It looks like a bedroom, but it is actually divided into several rooms. But what He Xi focused on taking Princess Anqing to see was the bathroom and bathroom.
When the space is large enough, the two will naturally be separated.
Princess Anqing looked at the porcelain toilet and didn't know how to react.
He Xi said: "Look, after you relieve yourself, you just need to pull it, and the water in the water tank will automatically rinse clean without leaving any odor."
Princess Anqing was very thin-skinned. In this scene, she could not speak at all, and her face was only flushed. He didn't even dare to look at He Xi.
He Xi has finished explaining the bathroom to Princess Anqing. Then he turned around and took Princess Anqing to the bathroom.
There is a large bathtub in the bathroom with tiles in the middle.
He Xi said specifically to Princess Anqing: "This faucet is connected to the greenhouse outside. As long as you say hello in advance, there will be enough hot water. You can take a hot bath comfortably."
Princess Anqing said: "Hot room?"
He Xi said: "Don't think that my renovation here is just to lay floor tiles. Let's install running water. No, there are other things. There are copper pipes buried under the entire floor. In the winter, the outside Hot water will flow into the ground through the pipes, keeping the room warm as spring. In summer, cold water can flow into the pipes to ensure a cool summer."
"You will definitely feel more comfortable here than in the palace."
Princess Anqing felt very complicated. He Xi didn't know how to react to these thoughts. He was moved by He Xi's thoughts, but also felt the huge gap between the two sides.
After a while, Princess Anqing said: "Is this something that will be very common six hundred years later?"
He Xi said: "It's very common. Almost every household has one. There are also ones that are much higher than this. It's just that the conditions are difficult now. Just use it."
Princess Anqing suddenly felt that the He Xi in front of her was unreal. Although many things are clearly in front of us, we have to accept them. But Princess Anqing still felt as if it was an illusion.
