The first snow fell like this, and the sudden cold was unexpected, and it also relieved the entire Guanzhong people. When it snows, the locusts will never come again, and the eggs they lay will freeze to death. Therefore, the people were afraid that the snow would not be thick enough and not big enough. The heavens may have sensed the cries of the people, so it rained heavily for five days with heavy snow mixed with raindrops, and the foothills of the Qinling Mountains were already colder than those by the Wei River, but now they are even colder.

Su Ren wore a thick bear skin and walked on the bluestone road. This bearskin was a gift to Su Ren when the thorns came back from the north, and the best and warmest was left by Su Ren himself. In the end, it is the fur of a polar bear, the coat is snow-white, pure without a single stray hair, even if it is worn on the body, it will be fine even if it nests in the Qinling Mountains overnight.

When it's cold, heating becomes a primary concern. Other places can not be considered, and the residence of the Queen Mother and the ladies must be inspected in person. In case of water leakage, the house is uninhabitable, and in case the Queen Mother wants to return to Chang'an, this matter will be troublesome.

took out the token, and after inspection, the forbidden army got out of the way. Last night's snow was so heavy that it took only one night to turn all the surrounding mountains and forests white, and some of the unsturdy branches had been crushed and deformed, so it was estimated that it would have to be broken at night. Su Ren muttered in his heart, after he went back, he asked Hu Ji to send someone to clean up these branches, and it would be a big deal to smash any of them.

The heating system designed by Su Ren is actually a hot water pipe. On the top of the mountain, more than a dozen people were boiling hot water, and then pouring it into the pipe, down the bronze pipe that bent in the curve, bypassing all the rooms, dissipating their own heat, and flowing into the nearby river. Of course, this journey is very long, maybe there will be no temperature in the last room, then Su Ren can't care about it, he just needs to ensure that there are no problems in the place where the Queen Mother and several ladies live.

All the way up, go straight to the place where the water is boiling, fortunately there is a spring in this mountain stream, otherwise it would take a lot of people to just carry water up. From a long distance, I saw black smoke billowing from the chimney, and the whole room was foggy. The place of more than 30 square meters is all covered with hot water pots, and it is strange that there is no fog.

The guards here were also forbidden soldiers, and after checking the waist card again, Su Ren was allowed to enter the room. As soon as I stepped through the door, all I saw was water vapor, not to mention people, and I couldn't see anything.

"Lao Hu! Brother Hu! Su Ren felt stuffy and didn't want to take another step inside.

Hu Ji came out of the mist shirtless: "Brother Ren is here, it's humid here, you wait a while, I'm dressed, let's talk outside." ”

Su Ren really couldn't stand the stuffiness inside, so he withdrew without saying much. The cold, fresh air makes the lungs feel a lot more comfortable. There was not much time, and Hu Ji walked out dressed like a bear. I stayed in there for too long, and I shivered as soon as I came out.

"It's all said, with my old Hu here, Brother Ren won't be used, I promise there won't be any problems."

"If you don't look at it, I'm still not at ease, it's the first time I've done this kind of thing! How's it going, didn't you find any leaks? ”

"There are two of them, fortunately they are not rooms where nobles live, they have been repaired by craftsmen, if I can survive tonight, there shouldn't be much of a problem, I will always keep an eye on them."

"Then it's hard Brother Hu, there is one more thing, when I first came up, I saw that some trees on both sides of the road were pressed very low by the snow, you send someone to deal with it, and cut it down if it is about to break, in case it hits anyone, it is not good."

Hu Ji nodded: "Okay, you can go back quickly, don't freeze this day, what's the matter, you let Xiao Jinzi tell me." ”

Su Ren nodded with a smile, and saw that there was indeed no problem around, so he turned around and walked down. Before passing by the queen mother's house, he went in to say goodbye, but as for the other ladies' houses, he couldn't go in. He is a junior in front of the Queen Mother, and it is not a good thing to run too diligently in front of the rest of the ladies.

Tian Wei's house must also be entered. It's quite warm inside, as soon as he saw Su Ren, Tian Wei pointed at Su Ren: "Oh, the way you kid came up with is really peculiar, this room is really warm like spring, I just went to the Queen Mother, and it feels a little summer." ”

Su Ren took off his big horn, and sat down opposite Tian Wei: "Actually, I originally intended to bury the pipe in the ground, but then I thought about it, if something goes wrong, I can't even find a place, so it's better to stay outside." ”

Tian Wei nodded: "It's right to stay outside, it's full of hot water, you can see it if you expose it a little, if it's buried in the ground, if it sprays out, it's not a mess that you kid can clean up." ”

Su Ren was not in the mood to talk to Tian Wei about these high-end technologies, so he took a sip of wine, put down his wine glass, and asked with a frown: "Has Master Hou noticed anything strange recently?" ”

Tian Wei shook his head: "What?" What went wrong? ”

Su Ren sighed: "When I first came up, I found that there were footprints in the forest, such a big snow, those who don't take the right path are not good people." ”

"Oh? Where does it lead? ”

Su Ren glanced at Tian Wei: "The Queen Mother's mansion." ”

"Hiss......" Tian Wei gasped: "In the Empress Dowager's mansion, where is the most heavily guarded place, who will go from the forest when it snows so much?" ”

"I deliberately looked at it, in fact, there are two sets of footprints, one is from below, the footprints are very large, and the other is from the Queen Mother's mansion, the footprints are relatively small, it should be a woman, all of them went to a small hole behind the mountain, and there are traces of fire in the hole."

"Oops! That's not a good thing. ”

"Who does Master Hou think?"

Tian Wei shook his head: "I don't know, fornicating with a servant girl is a big crime, and the two must be found out, if the queen mother finds out, one of your students is estimated to be unable to save his life." ”

Su Ren nodded: "I think so too, I've already let people check it, but I'm worried that no one will admit it." ”

"What do you need to do?"

Su Ren said: "Master Hou can go to the Queen Mother's Mansion to observe secretly, if you find a suspicious maidservant, don't make a noise first, let's make a total and then make plans." ”

"What else is there to do here? Shoot with a cane! ”

"That's human life, maybe people are happy with each other, if it can be fulfilled, wouldn't it be a good story?"

"You can't figure it out!"

Su Ren smiled: "Those who can come with the Queen Mother should be the maids that the Queen Mother likes, since there is a good home, why should the Queen Mother be that wicked person, not to mention that there are thousands of maidservants in the palace, and one His Majesty can't use it up, release some of them to allow her to marry, and after eighteen years, you can add a strong army to my Han!" ”

"You! I always think differently from others. Tian Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In this matter, I think it is better to talk to Your Majesty first, whether you will let those maids out of the palace is all in Your Majesty." ”

Su Ren nodded, and immediately stood up: "I'll go back and write the recital, Master Hou has to hurry." ”

Chen He leaned on the wall of the academy and looked inside, there were not too many people in the academy early in the morning. And because of the snow, there are not many people outside. With the strength of both arms, a harrier rolled over and landed steadily in the courtyard wall. Looking around, he didn't attract attention, and a cat burrowed into the woods. This road is where they secretly leave the academy, and across this forest is the dormitory.

Chen He walked quickly, his new shoes were dirty by the rain and snow, and there were a lot of grass clippings on the hem of his clothes. Stepping on the door of the dormitory, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shizong was reading a book in front of the window, and when he heard the movement behind him, he turned his head and looked Chen He up and down, and said coldly: "You went again?" ”

Chen He smiled: "Don't worry, no one will see it." ”

"You're really not afraid of death, you don't have to be seen by others, your father has to kill you!"

Chen He waved his hand and began to pack his clothes and shoes: "Okay, okay, Lao Tzu is just like this, what's the point of being bored in this academy all day?" If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, when the Queen Mother returns to the palace, we will have to abstain from sex again. ”

"You just come here! Sooner or later, there will be a time when you cry. Li Shizong glanced at Chen He's feet: "It's snowing outside, don't tell me you didn't deal with the footprints." ”

Chen He stood up suddenly and looked at Li Shizong in a daze. Li Shizong was shocked: "You really haven't dealt with it?" ”

"I forgot to go in such a hurry!"

"Then don't hurry up!"

As soon as Li Shizong urged, Chen He hurriedly ran out of the door. As soon as he opened the door, Li Danghu's black face appeared in front of Chen He's eyes. Chen He was taken aback, and he didn't go out or go in. Li Shizong hurriedly greeted him: "General Li, why are you here?" ”

Li Danghu ignored Li Shizong, and began to look at Chen He from head to toe, and when he saw Chen He's dirty feet, he said coldly: "You got up really early!" ”

Chen He hurriedly said: "Yes! After going out for two laps, didn't Mr. Su say that he should exercise more? ”

"Humph! It's not a good excuse, I stood under the porch all morning, and I didn't see you on the playground. ”

"The kid went somewhere else, didn't go to the playground."

"Really? It can't be that I went to the front mountain, right? Chen He still had to explain, Li Danghu snorted coldly: "Don't think that no one knows what you did, come on, arrest it!" ”

Li Shizong hurriedly stopped the two guards: "General Li has something to say, why use force?" ”

Li Danghu took a step forward and stared at Chen He deadly: "Okay!" Listen to Shizong's words, Chen He, tell me honestly now, where did you go in the morning? If you dare to say a wrong word, I will not punish you, but will only hand you over to the Queen Mother for disposal. ”

When Chen He heard the word Queen Mother, all the words he wanted to refute were blocked in his stomach, and there was a trace of despair in his eyes when he looked at Li Danghu again. Li Shizong sighed and silently stepped aside. Before Li Danghu could say the two words, Chen He knelt down and lay on the ground crying bitterly.

There was such a big thing in the academy, Su Ren was in a particularly bad mood, and sat in the room and thought about it carefully. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, adultery with others is a big crime, not to mention adultery with the queen mother's maidservant, even if Chen He is Jian Hou's son, it is a capital crime. Looking at Chen He who was kneeling on the ground, Su Ren became even more angry. This kid did such a big thing, and he didn't have any responsibility at all, and said that what kind of woman seduced him.

"Mr. Su, please save me, how do you want my father to repay Ducheng, I really don't want to die! If it weren't for that slut, I wouldn't have done such a thing! Mr. Su, please, please save me! ”

Su Ren stared at Chen He: "Let me ask you again, is it really you who she seduced?" ”

Chen He peeked at Su Ren and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I would like to swear to God, it was that slut who seduced me!" ”
