Although the Xie family is rich in finance and it is easy to buy land and materials, it takes a long time to build a decent villa.

So unfortunately, at least it is too late to check in this year.

In the hot summer, I can only wait for a while. In this era without air conditioning, I can only use ice to cool down and relieve the heat.

In Chang'an City, from royal nobles to ordinary wealthy people, some ice will be stored whenever conditions are met.

Unfortunately, the Xie family did not have one. Last year, it was the autumn and winter. Many things were not available for purchase, and the ice cellar was one of them.

So since the beginning of summer, whenever I use ice cubes in the mansion, An Yixuan bought them from outside for money. But as the heat continued, not only did the price of ice cubes in Chang'an City continue to rise, but more importantly, the shortage of stocks was not the case.

Fortunately, Xie Yi has a wide network of resources. Although King Li Zhi of Jin did not have to live in the royal palace, there were a lot of ice cubes reserved in the royal palace. Li Zhi felt sorry for his family's history, so he sent a lot.

Princess Changle also sent some gifts from the princess's mansion to Zheng Liwan, which completely alleviated the problem of insufficient ice for the Xie family. However, in order to use it a little cooler, it was really not cost-effective to owe such a big favor.

At least Xie Yi thinks so, isn’t it just ice cubes? Can’t it freeze in summer?

Although there is no refrigerator, we still know about making saltpeter ice. However, after inquiring in detail, we found that saltpeter is a rare item.

Except for a few miners who know, no one else has ever heard of it, let alone own it. The Xie family cannot help but regret it. It seems that they want to pretend to be a god and play with the Ice Palm in summer, but the conditions are not mature!

Learning from the pain, Xie Xueshi began to make people pay attention to collecting saltpeter so as to avoid the dilemma of whether there is ice available in the future. Furthermore, the function of saltpeter is not just ice making...

...

His Majesty Li Er went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat. When he left, he brought several young concubines who had just entered the palace.

It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor is also a little fed up with the old and old. However, the Emperor lives in the palace and has to be taken care of by someone around him. It is appropriate to have a few concubines. Who dares to say that His Majesty the Emperor is addicted to beauty?

It can be foreseen that Jiucheng Palace will definitely have a beautiful scenery during this period. Maybe in a few days, the Tang Dynasty royal family will add one or two princes.

The saying goes up and down is correct. Although the officials and nobles in Chang'an dare not say anything, most of them follow suit.

Cheng Chumo joined this team at some point, and the number of visits and outs in Pingkangfang has increased significantly recently. It is said that a red-soft girl has recently come to Pingkangfang, with both sexes and skills.

"Xiaoyao. You don't know that the girl Hongxiu looks pretty, like a god, and has talent. She won't talk about her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her dance posture is even more unique, especially the sword dance... It's unforgettable and makes people linger!" Cheng Chumo was a rough man, but his words were fascinated. She looked really cute.

Xie Yi said in surprise: "It can be seen that Brother Chumo is indeed lingering... but he went so openly, wouldn't his sister-in-law and Lord Lingzun say anything?"

"I went to Pingkangfang to communicate. I listened to the Hongxiu girl playing the piano and watching the Hongxiu girl dance the sword with my friends. There was nothing dirty. What could they say?" Cheng Chumo swore without any scruples.

"Really? Brother Chumo really has no idea?" Xie Yi asked with a smile, which was quite teasing.

"However, as a man, how could he have no idea when he sees that peerless beauty? It's just..." Cheng Chumo shook his head helplessly: "How can he easily blaspheme the way a girl Hongxiu is like a celestial figure..."

"Hmph." Xie Yi glanced at Cheng Chumo and said leisurely: "Is it the so-called selling skills or not?"

"Hey. Brother Xiaoyao is indeed a sensible person." Cheng Chumo said embarrassedly: "Miss Hongxiu is indeed unique in character. Recently, many princes and grandsons have given gifts to each other, intending to have a love for their beauty, but she is not moved at all. And she has said that if she meets someone who is interested, she will not take any money and be willing to commit herself..."

"Is that so? This is a bit interesting. I didn't expect that there would be such a strange woman in the fireworks place in the world." He said this, but Xie Yi did not think so in his heart, but admired the hype method of this woman. After all, this method has been seen too many in later generations, but it is considered novel in the Tang Dynasty.

"That's right." Cheng Chumo encouraged: "Brother Xiaoyao is outstanding in his talent and talent. He can win the hearts of Mrs. Zheng, and maybe... it is unknown if Miss Hongxiu is committed to it. Why not try it!"

"After a long time, what's the purpose of you coming to me?" Xie Yi suddenly realized that Cheng Chumo had indeed entered the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, but he did not expect that it was for this...

Alas! The world is getting worse and worse. I used to be so honest, but now I am confused by beauty.

"We are friends. How can we forget Xiaoyao you if you have such a good thing?" Cheng Chumo smiled, looking extremely sincere, but his expression always makes people feel inferior.

Xie Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Chumo, but... I am a newly married man, I have a beautiful wife at home, so I won't go to Pingkangfang..."

"Uh... I really won't go?" Cheng Chumo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"I really won't go." Seeing Cheng Chumo leave, Xie Yi couldn't help but shake his head slightly. It was probably because Pingkangfang had a fight for this Hongxiu girl, and Master Cheng probably came to ask him for help.

However, as I said before, if there is a beautiful woman at home, why should I go to the fireworks to see vulgar fans? There is no need to be jealous of the trend.

"Sanlang still go!" Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan appeared behind him at some point, and obviously heard the conversation just now.

"What?" Xie Yi looked at the beauties in surprise and said in surprise: "It's strange, is it not good to encourage his men to go to the fireworks place?"

"It's nothing to go for a walk properly. If you don't go, I'm fine, but if it's spread, Li Wan's sister may be charged with jealousy."

Du Xijun said leisurely: "The worst thing is you. After a long time, if someone says he is afraid of it, it will be even worse."

Zheng Liwan blushed slightly and shook her head and said, "If you want to go, go so as not to wrongly accuse me in the future..."

"Who wants to go?" Xie Yi wrapped his hands around the two beauties and said leisurely: "With you, how can those vulgar fans in the fireworks land be attracted to you?"

"Sanlang, don't make a fuss, it's broad daylight..." Facing his unhonest fingers, the two beauties immediately began to protest.

...

Pingkangfang is a special existence in Chang'an. Every time students take the imperial examination, the first place they come to is here.

Therefore, many Qinlou and Chu Pavilions gathered in the area, which are the veritable fireworks and willow alleys in Chang'an City. Therefore, literati, poet, talented and students always like to come here, as if they are not coming, they will be called "elegant" and "elegant".
