Chapter 94 Arrangement
On the northernmost side of Gaoyang County Prince's Mansion, there is a garden with illegal buildings. In the garden, near the inner hall gatehouse, there are several houses, one of which has a wine cellar.
The cellar used to stock up on wine, but now almost all have been moved away. There are few jars left left in the corner. The light here is dim, and the light at the entrance of the cave can only brighten a small area.
Xu Miaojin was tied with her hands and feet and sat on a chair covered with soft fur. The silk ball in her mouth had been taken out and she could speak now, but she didn't say a word, just silently watching Zhu Gaoxu working there.
On the brick wall next to it, there was a picture with some lines on it. Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be renovating it according to this picture. Not only did he design it in advance, but he also fell on the drawings, which was a matter of deliberation.
"This kind of cellar is most afraid of silting carbon dioxide." Zhu Gaoxu said, but Xu Miaojin was confused when she heard it, as if she was listening to a book of heaven.
He rolled up his sleeves, held a shovel, and stood on a ladder digging holes. He put the digged soil into a burlap bag, hung it on the hook rope at the entrance of the cellar, and said to it: "Roll it! Put it in the house, and we will pour it into the lake tonight."
Zhu Gaoxu turned around, looked here, and said, "It's a hasty thing. I only prepared some things in advance, but I couldn't repair the cellar. Now I'm halfway through it, so I can only work overnight.
The hole I dug opens into a storage room. There is a staircase outside the storage room, facing the northwest, which is like a wind vent. When spring and autumn come, the wind vent is particularly strong.
Just open a window of the utility room and strong winds can be poured into the room; when the hole is dug, lock the other doors and windows of the utility room, the wind can only penetrate into the hole... and then go out through the cellar and through the opening above to achieve ventilation and ventilation."
Xu Miaojin was speechless.
What she cared about was not whether the dark cellar was breathable, so she frowned and said, "King Gaoyang imprisoned me at home, or did he think about my innocence?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wang Gui won't say anything, except you and I know."
Xu Miaojin almost cried: "Innocence is not just reputation."
Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "What's wrong with my aunt!"
"Oh..." Xu Miaojin sighed and was speechless again.
Zhu Gaoxu came down from the ladder, walked to the corner of the wall, picked up a jar of wine from each side, and then set off a hand to lift the shovel, and turned around and said, "I'll dig up on it, wait a while before coming down." After that, he walked up the wooden staircase that was originally located at the entrance of the cellar.
Xu Miaojin did not blame Zhu Gaoxu, but at first he didn't expect that he would do this. What he did was incredible! But after calming down and thinking about it for a moment, she felt that this matter was not wrong.
Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be going to the capital to do something. If the court noticed it in advance, it would be like a trap. Zhu Gaoxu knew that she was a spy, except for tying her...it seemed that only by eliminating it first could he be at ease.
Trust is indeed a luxury, and sometimes it is too expensive.
But she was so embarrassed to be locked in the cellar! After experiencing such a thing, how can she see people? I don’t know how long she will be locked up. During this period, who knows what treatment she has been treated in the secluded room?
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a faint light came in from above. The hole that Zhu Gaoxu dug opened! Sure enough, a gust of wind blew down.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu came in with four square stools in both hands, and then silently went up the wooden stairs and came down with some wooden boards. Xu Miaojin watched him work in a complicated mood. At this time, he saw clearly that he was building a bed.
Xu Miaojin looked back at the small cellar and looked at the bed, and her face became hot.
She distinguished the day and night from the light above. At this time, the light gradually dimmed, and candles were lit in the cellar. It should be until night. Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui were still busy.
Sometimes they haven't come down for a long time, and Xu Miaojin feels a little scared, but she has no choice but to endure it silently.
...The changed candle was blown out, and the light at the entrance of the cave gradually became brighter, from night to day. Zhu Gaoxu only slept for a short time last night, and he slept shamelessly in the cellar.
Xu Miaojin's hands and feet were not tied tightly, but she could not move at will. Now she felt soreness in her back and back, which was very uncomfortable.
She struggled on the chair and changed her posture a little, opened her tired eyes, and soon found that the cellar had changed. She was very surprised and wanted to rub her eyes and see clearly immediately.
The surrounding brick walls were covered with moon-blue curtains, and a breeze blew in through the breathable holes. The curtains were shaking gently, with a little red embroidery on them. The cellar no longer looked so simple and dark.
"Do you like light blue?" Zhu Gaoxu said in a tired and low voice, "I saw that you have worn a light blue dress a few times and chose this color."
Xu Miaojin gave him a blank look and said nothing, but her heart was mixed. She really didn't understand what she was feeling, but at least she understood that she had never felt this way before when she grew up so old.
There is also the wooden bed with four square stools, which are covered with soft and thick mattresses and a wide blanket, which hangs down on both sides to cover the stools. Before they lie on it, they look very comfortable just... Such a simple construction looks very good.
There were two curtains hanging in front of the bed, a translucent silk curtain and a thick blackout curtain. They were now rolled up, making it look like a bedroom. He even did not forget to bring in a foot pedal and put two pairs of cloth shoes.
At the corner of the wall at the foot of the bed, there was a bathtub still holding a silk curtain; next to the bathtub was a round waist stool with white towels and a few glass bottles stacked on it.
In the direction of the bedside, there is a wooden table and a soft-up chair. There is a row of books standing against the wall. What’s more excessive is that a plum blossom is inserted in a vase on it. The corner of the wall opposite is covered with a thick curtain.
Xu Miaojin originally thought that she wanted to be imprisoned like a prisoner, but she saw this scene, which was not big enough, and it was arranged by Prince Gaoyang himself.
Zhu Gaoxu let out a long sigh and said, "It's almost done. I have to feel sorry for my aunt for a while. Later, I will remove the stairs, which are twisted ropes on them. I usually send food and water. Wang Gui put them down in the food box. After the aunt finished eating, the bowls and chopsticks were put back in the food box, and the things that needed to be processed were hooked through the twisted ropes and brought out by Wang Gui."
