Chapter 399
Half an hour later.
After Li Shimin asked about some things about the military factory and the pig farm, he left the manor and returned to the palace.
Su Chen told him one by one that the military factory would be completed in ten days, and the newly built pig farm had been completed for several days.
In the evening, after dinner and bathing.
Princess Changle was in the manor, and it was a rare opportunity to be alone with Su Chen.
The two walked side by side near the rockery pavilion in the manor.
Princess Changle suddenly stopped, looked at Su Chen and asked, "Su Chen, do you know what day it is today?"
"Hiss! November 10th, Saturday."
Fortunately, Su Chen heard about it from Li You yesterday, otherwise he really didn't know.
"Hehe, what else?" Princess Changle smiled faintly and continued to walk forward.
Su Chen immediately caught up with Princess Changle and asked in confusion.
"What the hell?" Su Chen quickened his pace and walked in front of Princess Changle, bending down and sticking his head out to ask.
"Isn't tomorrow your birthday? I'll give you a gift."
"You...you have to like it!"
After saying that, she pushed Su Chen away.
Su Chen was almost pushed to the ground by her, "What? My birthday?"
"Singles' Day is coming?"
Immediately, Su Chen looked at Princess Changle a few steps away and felt funny.
"I'll give you a gift, you have to like it!" Su Chen pretended to have a strange tone and imitated what Princess Changle had just said.
Who has ever seen someone give gifts like her!
"Beauty! Where are you going? It's getting dark!"
When Su Chen looked up again, he saw Princess Changle walking straight ahead. If she walked any further, she would walk into the woods.
Princess Changle realized that there was no road ahead, so she immediately turned around and walked back to Su Chen.
It was the first time she gave Su Chen a gift, and he laughed at her.
"Hmph!"
When she passed by Su Chen, she stretched out her hand and twisted his waist, "If you dare to make fun of me again next time, I will make you pay!"
"Hiss!"
Su Chen pretended to feel pain and rubbed his waist, and then the two walked back hand in hand.
...
Night fell, and there was no entertainment.
As usual, everyone in the manor gathered in the living room to chat.
"Su Chen, I plan to hold a general teacher meeting on Monday and inform everyone that the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month will be a holiday."
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Su Chen shook his head, "I don't have any suggestions. You are the principal and you can make arrangements."
Suddenly, Su Chen thought of Li Ke and Xue Rengui again. These two guys are really strange. More than ten days have passed, and they haven't returned to Chang'an yet.
"Brother-in-law, the person you sent to deliver a letter to Chang Sun Chong last time said that they would return to Chang'an in the near future. How many days have it been?"
Su Chen thought of Chang Sun Chong and his men again, and he didn't see them either.
Li Chengqian thought for a moment, and it seemed like a week had passed.
"I don't know about this."
Not long after, Princess Changle and Jin'er left with Xiao Sizi.
"It's getting late, let's all go to rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!" Su Chen said to everyone, seeing that it was almost eight o'clock.
Then, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Su Chen returned to his room, quickly took off his coat and jumped onto the bed. There were two sets of brocade quilts on the bed, one for the bed and one for the body.
"Ah~ Hey! It's really a bit cold to sleep at night now, this thing is not warm at all."
Su Chen raised half of his body to the side, stuffed the brocade quilt under his body to press it down, and did the same on the other side.
Finally, he raised his feet and wrapped the lower part of his body tightly, like a mummy lying on the bed.
"Damn it, Atana doesn't know how much cotton he can bring back to Chang'an."
"No, find someone to make a kang tomorrow!"
I recalled the structure of the Northeast kang in my mind, but there was no picture of the kang.
Because Su Chen had never seen that thing in his previous life, he only knew its general appearance.
Unknowingly, Su Chen fell asleep...
...
At noon the next day, the sun had not yet risen slowly from the horizon.
"Fourth brother, wait for me for ten minutes!"
After eating a few vegetable buns, Princess Changle said to Li Tai and walked towards Su Chen's room.
Because she had classes today, she had to go to school at seven o'clock. Yesterday, she said she would give Su Chen a gift, so she could only send it early in the morning.
Princess Changle opened the door and tiptoed to Su Chen's room.
However, at this moment, Su Chen was lying on the bed like a mummy, motionless with only his head exposed.
"Puff!"
Princess Changle couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and immediately covered her mouth.
She didn't want to wake Su Chen up. It was not yet seven o'clock, and this time of year was indeed very early in winter.
She took out the gloves she had knitted after more than ten days of hard work from her sleeves and gently placed them next to Su Chen's pillow.
She turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and stared at Su Chen's sleeping face for a while.
He stretched out two fingers and gently scratched Su Chen's nose twice.
"Lazy pig!"
Then he turned and left Su Chen's room.
At about 8:30, Su Chen opened his eyes in a daze and yawned.
He found that he was wrapped tightly and couldn't move his hands and feet. He could only roll to the sides to pull the brocade quilt apart.
"This sleep is really... uncomfortable!"
Su Chen finally got out of the brocade quilt, stretched his body and quickly put on his clothes.
"Huh?" Suddenly he saw a pair of woolen gloves without fingers on the pillow.
"Haha, it's really hard for her. It took more than half a month to make them." Su Chen picked up the gloves and put them on. They fit well.
He took off the gloves and tidied his hair and clothes.
No one may believe it, but men in ancient times also had to wear makeup, but Su Chen didn't pay much attention to it.
He tidied up his appearance and quickly went to the backyard to wash up. He was going to make a kang today.
Last month, when he remembered to build a kang, he asked the supervisor to help him use cast iron to make iron bars of appropriate thickness. At present, they cannot melt iron into molten iron, but it is no problem to burn it red.
Although Su Chen has never seen others build a kang, he can guess that the kang must need a cover.
So that the lower part of the kang can be suspended in the air, so as to achieve the purpose of heat circulation.
After washing up, Su Chen returned to the room, put on his watch and gloves, and went to the front hall to find food. The servants knew that Su Chen got up late and would prepare breakfast for him.
Today's breakfast is vegetable buns.
"Zhang Long, I will arrange some things for you, please remember them."
"Arrange someone to go to the cement factory to transport more than a dozen bags of cement, and there are two trucks of red bricks and sand and put them in the backyard."
"Also, go to the village to find two craftsmen who are familiar with masonry craftsmanship. They don't need to have superb skills."
Su Chen told Zhang Long about the preparations for building the kang while eating buns.
"Okay, Lord!"
After eating the buns, Su Chen went to the bedroom area of the palace. He didn't plan to install the kang in his room.
He wanted to find a bedroom with a lot of space to try the effect first.
Although those bedrooms were not as good as Su Chen's room, each of them had good lighting, at least one window.
Therefore, it was very convenient to exhaust smoke and make a fire.
This morning, as long as the size of the kang was determined and the cement cover was made, it would be considered completed.
To really build the kang, you still need to wait for the kang board to be made and dry.
