Chapter 287： count you smart

Chapter 287 You are wise

Even if Li Shu didn't say anything, the first thing Zhu Pingan did when he came back was to take a shower. During the nine days and seven nights of the exam, Zhu Pingan did not take a bath once. This made Zhu Pingan, who is used to bathing, very uncomfortable and felt very uncomfortable. At that time, it was nothing to concentrate on the exam. After the exam was over, his attention was shifted. I felt uncomfortable all over.

But I don’t know why, when I see a wooden barrel, I always think of Sima Guang, even though he smashed a vat.

In ancient times, wooden barrels were used to bathe. In ancient times, ceramic bathtubs were not used. Although this bathtub is nothing to Daming, which has a developed ceramic industry, the people of Daming have not thought of using ceramics to make bathtubs. . The barrels used for bathing in ancient times were made of wood, and the large wooden barrels were made of multiple pieces of wood. There were also steps like stairs in the wooden barrels, which made it easy to get in and out of the bath barrels. In ancient times, the craftsmanship of making wooden barrels was very developed. There is no need to worry about the wooden barrels leaking. Even if it leaks, there are special repair methods.

The water in the wooden barrel was steaming, and Zhu Pingan took advantage of the heat to take a hot bath.

However, when Zhu Pingan was about to get a towel after washing for a while, he touched a pair of small hands, which startled Zhu Pingan. He turned his head suddenly and saw the little Baozi who was blushing and wished to lower his head to his neck. maid.

"Uncle, young lady, she asked me to come in and rub your back."

The voice of Baozi's little maid was trembling, and her hands were trembling as she held the towel and wiped Zhu Ping'an's back tremblingly, her face was so red that she was about to bleed.

"Don't, I can come by myself, you go out first."

Zhu Pingan took the towel from the hand of the little girl Baozi, then waved her hand speechlessly to signal the little girl Baozi to go out.

In Daming, a feudal society, rich and noble families always had maids and maids serving them when they bathed. No matter if they were masters or young ladies, they could enjoy the service of maids with peace of mind. It's open-faced to do housekeeping, and the master and master who are refreshed after taking a bath may even pull the maid and maid into the barrel for a scene that is not suitable for children. Of course, the main purpose is not a scene that is not suitable for children. The main reason is that the maid takes a bath because there is no such facility as tap water in Daming today. You also need maids and maids to serve you.

Although Zhu Pingan also yearns for this, but now he absolutely doesn't have such bad tastes, and he is only young now. The body doesn't allow it yet.

In addition, I and Li Shu, the black-bellied girl, are just acting on occasion, and the future marriage will not be counted. In ancient times, it was all about dowry maids, and this bun maid was Li Shu's dowry maid. Why add trouble.

The black-bellied girl Li Shu sent her dowry maid here, but she didn't know what she was planning!

So, Zhu Ping'an sent Baozi's little maid away.

"But, my aunt, the miss ordered." The little girl behind the tub blushed. Holding the corner of the clothes to make an ostrich shape.

"It's okay, let's go out." Zhu Pingan waved again.

Because of Zhu Ping'an's insistence, the blushing ostrich-shaped bun girl seemed to have received an amnesty. She blushed and lowered her head and retreated towards the door, almost bumping into a pillar.

Seeing the little maid of Baozi go out, Zhu Pingan let out a breath. Really, there are too many lures in this evil old society.

"one two three four five six"

Li Shu looked at the door of the inner room expressionlessly, and counted silently. When she counted to ten, she saw the little maid of Baozi coming out of the bedroom with her head bowed and her face blushing.

Seeing the little maid of Baozi coming out. With a satisfied look on Li Shu's face, she murmured in a low voice, "You are sensible."

"Miss, my aunt won't let me rub my back." Baozi's little maid blushed, and she stuttered because of the nervousness in the scene just now.

"Oh, it's fine if you don't let me go." Li Shu said lightly.

After the episode of Baozi’s little maid, Zhu Ping’an hurriedly took a shower, dried himself, put on his clothes and came out. ,

"Ah, why are you wearing such shabby clothes again?" Li Shu looked at the clothes Zhu Pingan was wearing, disgusted and pouted.

"My mother made this dress with stitches and stitches, and stayed up all night to make it. In my heart, this is the best dress." Zhu Pingan glanced at Li Shu and said lightly.

"But. Do you know where we are going?" Li Shu stomped her feet angrily, "The old house is full of eyelids, stepping on the high and stepping on the low."

"So what, I'm a commoner boy." Zhu Ping'an slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

"Hello, I admit that what I said just now was wrong. I shouldn't dislike the clothes made by my aunt." Li Shu gave Zhu Pingan a hard look. Then the boss was reluctant and apologized to Zhu Pingan in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan really didn't expect such a tsundere girl like Li Shu to apologize. The probability of Li Shu apologizing is lower than that of the sun coming out from the west. It is simply impossible. But now this girl actually apologized. Although she didn't have the consciousness of apologizing in her attitude and expression, she did apologize sincerely.

So much so, Zhu Pingan was a little stunned when he heard the words.

"Grandpa, let me change your clothes for you." The little girl from Baozi said at the right time, and then rushed to Zhu Ping'an's body, and helped Zhu Ping'an change her clothes very attentively.

Because the underwear is also worn under the ancient costume, it is not awkward to change it.

By the time Zhu Pingan reacted, the little maid of Baozi had already graciously helped Zhu Pingan change his coat again. The gown was made of fine silk, embroidered with ink bamboo, tied around the waist, and there was a fox fur cloak outside, which was much better than my own rabbit fur. Another coincidence is that the clothes, whether it is the inner or the outer, all fit inexplicably, as if they were tailor-made.

The hair was also dried with a towel by the little maid of Baozi, combed again, tied in a bun on the top of the head, and wrapped a net towel around the head to fix the hair.

"Miss, look, my uncle is much more energetic when he puts on his clothes." After packing up for Zhu Ping'an, the bun girl sighed with a sense of accomplishment.

Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an was a little speechless. Do I feel more refreshed after putting on my clothes? The girl said it as if I didn't wear clothes before.

Li Shu glanced at Zhu Ping'an, her eyes lit up slightly, but her small mouth was flattened and she said, "No matter how good the clothes are, they still smell like earth."

The clothes were changed as soon as they were changed. Zhu Pingan put the clothes made by his mother Chen in the luggage and put away his other things in the room, and then went downstairs at Li Shu's urging.

The waiter who was busy downstairs was not surprised when he saw Zhu Ping'an's outfit. He felt that Zhu Ping'an should have looked like a son of such a wealthy family. When Li Shu came to the inn just now, the shop assistant had this idea, and now it has been confirmed. His attitude towards Zhu Ping'an was even more respectful.

Out of the inn, got into the carriage again, and the carriage headed all the way to the west city, to the old house that Li Shu said.

From the direction of the carriage, Zhu Ping'an deduced that Li Shu's house was indeed extraordinary.

There is a folk proverb in the capital: "The east city is rich, the west city is expensive, the south city is poor, and the north city is poor." This proverb summed up by people illustrates the characteristics of the population distribution in the capital. Most of the people living in the east city are relatively wealthy, businessmen, landlords, and ordinary officials mostly live in the east city; the west city is the home of the rich and powerful, and the palaces, nobles, and high officials are almost all gathered here; the south city is opposite to the north city. For ordinary people, they don't have much money and no influence, so they are naturally poor compared to the east and west cities.

The carriage went all the way to the west city. Those who can live in the west city must not be ordinary people, so Zhu Ping'an deduced that.
