After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

As soon as Xiao Yansui turned around, she saw that Axiu was looking in the direction of the window in shock.

Unable to understand, Xiao Yansui immediately turned around and looked back, but still didn't think there was any problem, so he asked directly: "Axiu?"

Axiu approached a little bit, her eyes were still fixed on the glass on the window, and she couldn't hide her admiration and said: "The cost of this window...is really incredible."

Some of the craftsmen and servants who were still waiting nearby looked calm--no one, after the initial amazement, because of the busy time during this period, as a group of people watching how the new house was built, basically They were all shocked to the point of numbness.

"It's okay!" In Xiao Yansui's opinion, the cost of ordinary glass is not expensive, although she has also considered the feasibility of tempered glass before.

But then again, regardless of the cost and difficulty of implementation, even in later generations, most of the glass used in people's daily life is ordinary glass, not high-rise floor-to-ceiling windows, and safety issues must be taken into account. For this kind of family house, there is nothing wrong with using ordinary glass to frame the windows.

"By the way, the window must be hung with curtains and screens, preferably with better light-shielding." After Xiao Yansui looked away, she quickly thought of something else.

In the Tang Dynasty, after all, most people had never used glass windows. During the day, they watched the sun shine in, and the room was very bright, which can be called bright and pleasant.

However, at night, even if there is no serious light pollution affecting people's rest in ancient nights, the halo of the two lanterns hanging in the yard and the projections falling through the glass windows alone make people feel careless. If you think of something like spirits and ghosts, it will really become a disaster without any reason.

Don't look at those people in the world who are more talented than one when they recite the moonlight jade rabbit silver plate. After all, none of them have to write poems in front of glass and other things that can transmit light and reflect light in the middle of the night, right?

Especially after the yard was tidied up, Xiao Yansui planned to give it to Xiao Song. The old man is easy to think too much, and Xiao Song also stayed on the battlefield in his early years. Although Xiao Yansui doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all That kind, but she is not interested in entangled with people in the feudal dynasty era about superstition.

This is the limitation of the background of the times and social development, and it is far from being solved by her alone.To put it more bluntly, this is also related to the inheritance of Chinese culture. The theory of gods and ghosts is actually part of the tradition. Even in later generations with advanced technology, some people still believe in them.

After Xiao Yansui pointed to the window and roughly explained her request, the maid naturally nodded immediately, understanding what she wanted.

Seeing this, Xiao Yansui's reaction was also very straightforward. He waved his hand casually and said, "Let's find suitable fabrics, and a carpenter? You are discussing to get a railing to hang the curtains on."

Xiao Yansui didn't even ask for the curtains to have loops that could be pulled aside, just like the curtains, and it was the same if they were hung on the side with ribbons casually, she didn't pick this one.

After looking at the window, Xiao Yansui walked around the house again.

The underfloor heating is under the floor, and the effect is not visible now, so let's skip it for now.Moreover, considering that there is already floor heating in the house, if there is no problem, the house should be warm enough, so Xiao Yansui didn't toss out another heater pipe in the house, especially since he is not a professional after all. , let Xiao Yansui design the wiring of the floor heating according to the principle, and she can barely make do with it, and get it to the heater pipe on the floor, she also feels numb all of a sudden...

However, when her eyes swept over the direction of the bedroom, Xiao Yansui's footsteps suddenly paused, and after a sudden inspiration, she said coldly: "The furniture in the room - after I say hello to Ah Weng, It can be moved directly from the warehouse, but the bed is left alone, so it should be more spacious."

Because the furniture hasn't been moved in yet, the room looks extraordinarily empty. As for the exact size, it's easy to be overlooked. After Axiu calmed down and looked it over carefully, she suddenly realized that this The size of the bedroom does not seem to be different from other places...

"Liu Niang," Axiu was a little taken aback, "This room seems to be bigger?"

"The cramped bedroom can easily affect your mood." Xiao Yansui said calmly.

In fact, a low roof is more likely to make people feel depressed. This should be taken into account in the design of plastering when decorating. However, most of the beams in ancient times were very high, so this problem does not exist at all, and Xiao Yansui did not. More mentions.

"...That's it." Axiu has no idea where Xiao Yansui's reasoning comes from, but Xiao Yansui reads too many miscellaneous books, so Axiu just thinks that Xiao Yansui is talking about it. It's true, and I didn't ask any more questions.

"Go back and find a carpenter who can make furniture, especially one who is good at making beds." Xiao Yansui's gaze slowly swept over the place she had reserved for the bed, her words were indeed quite serious, "this yard The bed has to be made separately, and the drawings must be seen by me."

The servant who had been in charge of supervising work in this yard these days naturally agreed immediately.

Although Axiu didn't understand, she didn't ask in person. After Xiao Yansui walked around the room again and couldn't think of any other questions for a while, she curiously whispered a question on the way back. Said: "The furniture in the warehouse is all high-quality, but Liu Niang said that this time the carpenter must make a new bed, but is there anything else that needs attention?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yansui nodded, and answered very naturally, "I want the carpenter to make a big bed!"

Whoever sleeps knows the difference between a two-meter bed and a 1.2-meter single bed!

--Looking back, if grandfather Xiao Song doesn't like this bed, she'll just move it away and go to sleep by herself!Of course, if Xiao Song liked it, she would turn around and ask the carpenter to make another one.

After all, according to Xiao Yansui's plan, after the two-meter bed is built, the matching mattresses and quilts will be bigger, and it will be easy to move around after lying on it and falling asleep. Are you ready to go...

When living in Xu Guogong's mansion in Chang'an City, Xiao Yansui was quite casual in his yard, but Xu Guogong's mansion did not break ground for reconstruction, and even the garden, pool, small bridge and pavilion at home were very casual. It was built, Xiao Yansui lived there for more than ten years, and saw the same scenery, Xiao Yansui had long been used to that kind of arrangement, so he didn't think about making major changes.

In fact, it is also due to human habits and life inertia. No matter what time it is, there are only a few people who will suddenly renovate the house they are living in. Similarly, when it comes to renovating a new house, there are also a few people who do not make a fuss. ...

In addition, after returning to her hometown, the only person around Xiao Yansui who could control her was her grandfather Xiao Song. His ancestral hall was demolished, Xiao Song wouldn't take it as a big deal at all.

And for Xiao Yansui, it's really the right time to come back to this hometown. Compared with Freedom and Flying, what is the bustle and bustle of Chang'an City?

In particular, she didn't have many friends in Chang'an who could really hang out together, except for Zhang Dai and Li Tan, there were almost no one...

Even for the cousins ​​of Pei's ancestral family, it's no problem for Xiao Yansui to get along well with them, but when it's really necessary to play around without any grievances, it's not her hypocrisy, everyone is not the same way after all, The gap in hobbies is really too big, and it is inevitable that there will be something short.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yansui couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

During the days when she returned to her hometown, Xiao Yansui had found a place to have fun. Even hearing the name An Lushan did not affect her mood too much. As for the people in Chang'an City, except When writing family letters, Xiao Yansui really didn't think too much about it...

After all, when people are busy, it is easy to forget other things. Xiao Yansui has devoted himself to it during this period. The cement has been made, the glass has been finished, and even the "floor heating" can be carried out in a timely manner after practice. It has been promoted on a small scale. After all, compared with the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River where the climate is relatively mild, the north actually needs this kind of thing more in the severe winter.

By the way, did the Tang Dynasty have earth kangs in the north at this moment?

Xiao Yansui frowned slightly. After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, all she had been exposed to were beds made of lamp wood from childhood. She really didn't know much about the living conditions of ordinary farmers.Moreover, even if we go to the field for investigation now, the Jiangnan area is very different from the north, and it is not really of reference significance.

Food and clothing are simple words, but in fact, even in the later generations with advanced technology, it has never been something that can be easily spread to everyone.

Putting it in ancient times when productivity was seriously insufficient, it would be more directly a living human life.

Famine, floods, and then starvation on the way, even in the peaceful and prosperous age of Haiyan and Heqing, such things cannot be avoided, not to mention, after an unknown amount of time, the Anshi Rebellion broke out...

Xiao Yansui was not too worried about herself. After all, even if she lacked historical knowledge, at least after the Tang Dynasty, her grandfather Xiao Song would sometimes talk to her about the Great Tang territory and the border wars. Xiao Yansui always knew the location of the four towns of Anxi, the original base area. In the ensuing battle, if nothing else happened, the northwest area would definitely be the first to fall into war. As for Jiangnan, the possibility of falling into war is extremely slim.What's more, if the rebels really hit here, it basically means a change of dynasty. At this point, the rebels have no point in continuing to fight...

Xiao Yansui's thinking went further and further, and he frowned slightly unintentionally. From the Anshi Rebellion to Wang Sili at the Northwest Border Pass, he couldn't help but think of those people and things that were still in Chang'an City.
