Mu Yan is not afraid of the cold at all.In the middle of winter, fur coats and unlined clothes are added.But Mu Yan is particularly afraid of heat.

Mu Yan uses up ice very quickly every summer, obviously his family has a lot of ice stored, but every summer he has to buy it at a high price.

This year when Su Yi is here, he will use saltpeter to make ice, but others don't know how to make ice with saltpeter, and gunpowder hasn't been discovered yet, so the raw material of saltpeter is not difficult to find, so Mu Yan finally doesn't have to buy ice from outside at a high price.

In fact, the ancient nobles had many ways to escape the heat.Nowadays, nobles often build basement "cave rooms" and put ice cubes in the cave rooms to escape the heat.

However, Beijing has a lot of rain in summer. Once it rains, the basement will be damp for a long time, making it difficult to live in.

Mu Yan once fell ill because of his greed for coolness in the grotto.Moreover, when Mu Yan was young, he fought with the emperor in the south and north, and had many secret wounds on his body.Once you are in a cold place, you will soon feel a dull pain from the dark wounds all over your body.

For the sake of his health, Mu Yan rarely went to the grottoes.

There are many ways to enjoy the cool air without going to the grottoes.The nobles will also build "summer houses" on the ground.There is a bed made of jade in the summer house, an ice basin is placed under the bed, an ice tray is placed in front of the bed, and there are servants who keep fanning each other. .

But Mu Yan's body does not allow him to sleep on the jade bed for a long time.

Ice cubes can neither be placed in the cave room nor in the summer house. It is strange that it is not used quickly if it is placed in the hot room in the open air.

Later, Su Yi asked someone to make for Mu Yan a bamboo chair and bamboo bed mixed with jade and bamboo, which made Mu Yan feel a little better while taking care of his body.

Only then did Su Yi realize that Mu Yan, who usually looks strong, was not in good health.

Mu Yan said: "It's not bad. I'm still young, and the imperial doctor said that if I raise it for a few more years, I'll be able to bring it back slowly."

Su Yi asked: "If you live near the water, will your body hurt?"

Mu Yan said: "This is not possible."

It's strange to say that the water's edge should be damp and cold too. I don't know why, but it doesn't hurt to live by the river.

Su Yi thought to himself, is it because the water is not cooling down, but constant temperature?Not too much beyond the limits of the body?

But he is not a medical student, so it is just a random guess.

"Since you can't do it by the water, why doesn't Heqing go to escape the summer heat?" Su Yi said.

Mu Yan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty loves me dearly. If His Majesty wants to escape the summer heat, he will definitely take me with him. If His Majesty does not go, I will have to go to court. Is there any place to escape the summer heat in this city?"

Su Yi was curious: "That's right, why didn't His Majesty go to escape the summer heat this year?"

Mu Yan said in his heart, because he wants to promote the imperial examinations at a time when he wants to gain a lot of popular support through Tudou promotion.Your Majesty does not dare to leave Beijing at this critical moment, for fear that the aristocratic family will react and change will occur in Beijing.

However, he would not disturb Su Yi's mood with this kind of thing that is not beneficial to know, he just said: "The government is busy. Your Majesty can't leave the capital easily. Even the second prince who originally asked to escape the summer outside Beijing and postponed his entry to Beijing, was forced Request to come back as soon as possible.”

Su Yi said: "That's right, I said before that the second prince will be back soon, but it's been a month and he still hasn't come back. It turns out that it's too hot in Beijing."

He still has a picture for the second prince.

Mu Yan nodded: "Your Majesty and Your Majesty love the Second Prince very much."

Su Yi thought, this is strange.The second prince's princess mother is his mother's rival in love, and stabbed his father, but the father and mother still dote on the second prince, I don't understand.

Don't think about it if you don't understand it, Su Yi doesn't think he can figure out the brain circuit of the two big bosses in the palace.

Su Yi said: "You are like this, summer is too difficult."

Mu Yan slowly changed to a bamboo chair and lay down. The bamboo chair that was hot by him was wiped cool by the servants with ice cubes in cold water.

"That's not true." Mu Yan said weakly, "It will be fine when you get used to it."

Su Yi felt a little distressed when he saw Mu Yan, who was always talking and laughing like Yan Yan, limp into a ball.He thought for a while, and said: "I remember that my house has running water. Let me make you a place to enjoy the shade. Although I don't know how it will work, it's better than what you have now."

This is such a waste of ice, even if you buy saltpeter to make ice yourself, it will cost a lot of money.

Mu Yan nodded without hope.

He has already asked many craftsmen how to take care of his old injuries and enjoy the cool weather at the same time. The craftsmen all said, Mr. Mu, you should go to the mountains to escape the summer heat.

If Mu Yan can go, is there still a need for it?

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Su Yi is not talking empty words, he really has an idea.

Although there is no electricity now, it is impossible to make electric fans or air conditioners, but the ancients made many cooling devices that do not require electricity.

Now Mu Yan can barely sleep soundly at night because he uses a "central air conditioner" that doesn't require electricity, the cellar well.That is to dig a deep well in the center of the room, put a cover on it, and drill holes in the cover, so that cool wind will blow out from the holes in summer.

But to the extent that Mu Yan is afraid of heat, the cooling effect of this "central air conditioner" is obviously not enough.Therefore, ice cubes are also placed indoors.

Another kind of cooling device commonly used by ancient nobles that Su Yi thought of was the self-gazebo.

That is to lead running water to the roof to create an artificial rainfall effect to take away the heat.And the water flowing down from the roof can drive the hydraulic fan to automatically supply air to the house.

The effect of cooling off from the gazebo is good, but it doesn't make the house too shady and cool, making Mu Yan feel unwell.

It's just that the water needs to be led to a high place from the gazebo. Now that there is no water pump, a large amount of running water is needed to drive the waterwheel.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of water in Beijing now, and another groundwater in Su Yi's house was dug out and used as a pond.Therefore, it is convenient to build a pavilion in the center of the pool.

For ordinary wealthy people, self-gazebos are too extravagant.But for aristocratic families with mansions with their own gardens, the gazebo is a relatively economical cooling device—at least it can save a lot of ice.

After Su Yi explained the general plan to the craftsmen, the craftsmen quickly worked day and night to build the pavilion.

Only a pavilion for rest was built in the center of the pool. Su Yi did not have high requirements for the decoration of the pavilion, and it did not take long.

When Mu Yan was "driven" into the gazebo by Su Yi to enjoy the cool air, he felt like he came alive instantly.

Then throughout the summer, he occupied the pavilion and never even returned home.

"My house doesn't have such a big pool." Mu Yan said brazenly.

Su Yi frowned and said, "You can ask your craftsmen to lead water from me."

Mu Yan said: "Why is it so troublesome? Anyway, you are the only one in your house, and I am the only one in mine. What's wrong with letting me live? The pavilion is not small. If you want to live in it, just share a room with you."

Su Yi just wanted to complain, there are so many living people in the family, what is "just one person".But he thought, it seems that it is impossible for a servant to live in the master's house, so it seems correct.

After that, he wanted to complain again, what does it mean to share my room with my gazebo?Who is the host and who is the guest?

However, the brazen Mu Yan has turned his back on customers and asked the servants to bring his things to decorate the gazebo.

Here is the study, here is the bedroom, here is used for eating, and here you can set up a platform to play the piano against the flowing water.

Oh, it's really very comfortable.

There is running water from the gazebo to take away the heat, and there are fans driven by four sides of the water to blow air continuously to the house for twelve hours. If it is too hot, you can put the ice bucket in front of the fan, and the fan will blow in the cool wind.Because the ice bucket is far away from the body, Mu Yan's body will not feel uncomfortable.

Mu Yan felt that this was the happiest summer he had ever spent.

Although this pavilion was originally used for Mu Yan to avoid the summer heat, but Mu Yan took it as his own so consciously, Su Yi still seemed powerless to complain.

However, the ventilated gazebo on the ground is indeed much more comfortable than the grotto underground, so Su Yi also moved in.

Mu Yan really "reserved" a bedroom for Su Yi, and said that other rooms, even the study room, could be shared with Su Yi, and he didn't mind at all.

Su Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

At this time, shouldn't he say "so awesome, so touching"?Or beat Mu Yan up?

The rejuvenated Mu Yan stood there and let Su Yi beat him up.Su Yi pounded hard with his small powder fist, until he was so tired that he was out of breath, and Mu Yan said with a confused face, oh, you should eat more Kangle.

Su Yi was so angry that he vomited blood.You military commander are you amazing?Do you look down on my delicate and frail abandoned house?

The delicate and frail abandoned house Su Yi said that he wanted to drive Mu Yan out.

So when Su Yi waved his fist again, Mu Yan screamed and avoided with a very exaggerated expression.

Su Yi...Su Yi wanted to drive people out even more.

QAQ I can't afford to be hurt by the abandoned house, anyway, he is also a grown man!

Mu Yan said that on the battlefield, he was one against a hundred, and Su Yi's strength with bare hands is really nothing.

Well, all in all, don't worry about these things with generals when you abandon the house, it will only hurt your glass heart.

Although Su Yi closed the door to thank guests when he was at home, after a period of quiet time, he didn't completely see no visitors.

The few friends of Mu Yan whom I met before, after that, Su Yi occasionally received them.

It's just that Mu Yan is absolutely present every time he receives friends.Those friends of Mu Yan were very unhappy.

Mu Yan is so uninteresting, he didn't give them time to spend alone with Su Tianshi.

Mu Yan hehe, get out.It would be nice to take you to see the recreation, but still want to be alone?

When they came to chat with Su Tianshi the next day, they saw this peculiar gazebo, and immediately expressed that they would go back and repair one for themselves.

Not to mention the effect of the pavilion, this kind of pavilion with its own rain scene is really artistic and compelling!

Mu Yan said proudly: "Kang Le loves me, this pavilion was built by Kang Le for me. I have already lived in it."

This time, even Mr. Wei Cheng couldn't help complaining about Mu Yan: "Heqing, before you said that the ice in your house was given to you by Kangle, but now you said that Kangle built the place for you to escape the summer heat. Why don't you If you say that your food, clothing, housing and transportation depend entirely on happiness, let Kangle take care of you?"

Mu Yan thought for a while, and said shamelessly: "Yu De makes sense, how about Kang Le?"

Without even thinking about it, Su Yi said, "Get lost!"
