Crossing town house man and wife

What do you do after eating and drinking?To bed, of course.

Wu Ming was not interested in sitting under the lamp and waiting for the sheriff. After filling his stomach, he asked Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao to help him take off his crown and change his clothes.

But the habit of washing face and brushing teeth before going to bed is more important, but Jinjiao and Yinjiao are not familiar with the situation here, and they don't even know where to get hot water, so they can only call the maid of the Sheriff's Mansion to come in and help.

The maid of the Sheriff's Mansion led them into the side room connected to the main house, pointed to the copper pipes on the wall and the bathtub and toilet below, and told them that this is the clean room.If you want cold water, you can get it by unscrewing the sheep's head-shaped valve.Dirty water after use does not need to be taken out and splashed, and it will flow into the sewer pipe by itself after opening the cork in the bathtub.

When saying these words, the maid of the county guard's mansion had a smug expression on her face, but Wu Ming's temples bulged when he heard it.

Is this really the Qin Dynasty?

How could the Qin Dynasty have water pipes? !

In what year and month of Qin Dynasty did he go? ! !

Wu Ming resisted the urge to run away, and drove Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao out to get hot water, while he observed in the clean room.

After looking at it, he was relieved.

The water pipes are made of ordinary brass, and there is no cement or rubber at the joints.The technical content of the faucet is higher, and there are obviously threads inside, but if you don't disassemble it, you can't see what kind of structure it is.

The drainage structure of the bathtub is simpler, that is, the bathtub is placed on the masonry tunnel, the water outlet reserved in the bathtub is aligned with the tunnel, and then a cork is blocked at the water outlet.In this way, when pouring water into the tub, the water will not leak out; when you need to pour dirty water, just pull out the cork and let the water flow out of the house along the pit.

The convenient toilet is not technical at all. The main body is still a wooden barrel filled with sawdust, but there is a stove-like table where people can sit on the place where the barrel is placed.The toilet is placed inside the table, and the part of the table connected to the back wall is empty, and the person in charge of cleaning the toilet can take the toilet directly from the outside of the wall without entering the room—Wu Ming really doesn’t understand the meaning of such a design, Can it reduce odor residue?A circular wooden board ring similar to a toilet seat is added to the table so that people can sit comfortably on it.The wooden circle is covered with a wooden lid like a pot lid, which presumably has the effect of blocking the smell after use.

But the Ruan family's clean room was not like this, which made Wu Ming start to wonder if there was another time traveler in the Sheriff's Mansion.

After a while, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao came back with two big kettles.

"No one to help you?" Seeing these two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls entering the room with a copper pot bigger than his own head, Wu Ming reached out to take it without thinking, and poured the water Poured into the bathtub, while asking dissatisfied.

"Serving you is the duty of maids, how can outsiders interfere." Jin Jiao did not refuse Wu Ming's assistance, but he also explained why no one helped, "Maids know that you love us, but we should do it." You have to let us do what you want, why don't you support us?"

Hearing what Jin Jiao said, Wu Ming remembered something, "By the way, I should have a dowry, right?"

"Of course." Jin Jiao didn't understand why Wu Ming asked this.

"Where are those dowries? Who cares?" Wu Ming asked.

"This..." Jin Jiao didn't answer, but turned to look at Yin Jiao.

Silver Horn froze for a moment, then immediately shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

"My servant doesn't know." Jin Jiao finally shook his head helplessly, "The dowry must have entered the treasury of the Sheriff's Mansion, but I don't know who has the key to the cage and the list of the dowry. Madam didn't tell us This matter."

"Why don't the servant girls go out and ask?" Yinjiao answered.

"Forget it, don't worry about it, I'll ask the sheriff directly." It doesn't matter who has the key, as long as the things belong to him.The big deal is to break open the lock and the box, since they belong to "him" anyway, and no one can control him.

Don't get sick if you have anything, don't have money if you don't have anything.Since he decided to live in the Sheriff's Mansion for a while, he must have the capital to live there, and he can't always reach out to the Sheriff's Lord and be under the control of others all the time.Among other things, at least the two girls who serve him must be taken care of by him, and they must not be so shallow that they can be bought by others casually.

Although he doesn't care much about the so-called loyalty, but if he really wants to make something happen, he will be irritating.

Wu Ming waved his hand and pushed Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao out.

Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao also knew his habit of not keeping anyone in the shower, so they gave a salute and retreated to the door of the wing room.

Wu Ming turned on the faucet, adjusted the water temperature in the tub to a suitable temperature, and then jumped in.

In fact, he just took a shower in the afternoon, and now he can go to sleep as long as he washes his face and wipes his body. The reason why he insists on taking a bath is actually to drive away the servants around him, so that he can absorb spiritual energy without anyone knowing.

After a week's journey, Wu Ming was disturbed by a sudden noise outside, as if someone kicked something into pieces, and there was a burst of crackling noise.

Before Wu Ming released his spiritual sense to investigate, there was the sound of footsteps outside the wing room, followed by the voices of Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.

"Sheriff, madam is taking a bath..."

Before the words were finished, the door of the house was kicked open, and the bearded magistrate walked in angrily.

What does this mean?

Because I beat someone up to ask the teacher?

Wu Ming looked at the sheriff full of doubts, but his body was secretly ready to violently beat someone.

But after entering, the county sheriff stopped immediately, and the expression on his face changed from anger to embarrassment.

"You...here?" The sheriff stuttered a little.

"Where else?" Wu Ming stared back and asked.

"I thought you..." The Sheriff took a deep breath, stopped talking, and said instead, "Come out after washing."

Wu Ming was confused.But people's minds are never understood by thinking about it. Seeing that the county guard didn't seem to be asking a teacher, and his tone softened quickly, Wu Ming stopped being on guard, and stretched out his hand: "Yu...that ...pass me something to wipe your body with."

The magistrate was stunned for a moment before looking to the left and right, and quickly picked up a flax-colored soft cloth from the table beside him, and handed it carefully to Wu Ming.

Am I the plague?

Wu Ming rolled his eyes and tore the soft cloth from the hands of the Sheriff.

"I'll ask your maid to come in." The sheriff turned around and walked out the door as if avoiding suspicion.

Could this guy be a deep closet?

Wu Ming looked at the sheriff's back with black lines all over his head, and there were ten thousand muddy horses galloping past in his heart.

At this time, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao had already walked in according to the orders of the Sheriff.

Wu Ming really didn't want to let two underage girls wipe and dress him, and asked them to put down the obscene clothes he wore to sleep at night, then kicked them out again.

When he packed up and returned to the main room, the sheriff had already taken off his gown and changed into light-colored obscene clothes.

Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao were driven away to some unknown place. Wu Ming used his spiritual sense to check the surroundings, and found that there was no third person inside the courtyard, but there were several strong men standing guard like guards outside the courtyard.

"You don't wash?" Wu Ming asked casually.

The sheriff didn't answer, and after a moment of silence, he got up straight and walked towards the clean room.

It was only then that Wu Ming realized that there was ambiguity in his words. If it was replaced by later generations, it would be a blatant seduction.

But at this time, it shouldn't make people have such associations, right?

Wu Ming scratched his chin, not sure.

Wu Ming didn't wait for the governor to return, and went to bed on his own.

But as soon as he fell down, Wu Ming was thrown up by the * * pillow. Looking at it by the light of the oil lamp, he found that it turned out to be a wooden pillow.

Wu Ming, who lived comfortably in the later generations, couldn't bear this thing. He raised his hand and pushed the wooden sleeper to the corner, and then rolled up one of the two thin quilts to form a pillow, and placed it on the wooden sleeper. position.

But as soon as it was put on, the rolled quilt was in stark contrast to the wooden pillow for the sheriff.

Wu Ming hesitated for a moment, and simply pushed the other wooden sleeper aside, unfolded the quilt, and re-rolled it into a long pillow that can be used by two people.

While he was tossing about, the Sheriff had already walked in from the door.

"What are you doing?" The sheriff walked to the bedside and looked at Wu Ming suspiciously.

"The pillow is uncomfortable." Wu Ming said, then raised his eyebrows, "There is only one quilt left, do you mind using it together?"

It doesn't matter if you mind, anyway, it's summer now, and it won't be too cold without a quilt.

The sheriff was silent for a while, then said, "Go to sleep."

After speaking, he sat down beside the bed, obviously planning to sleep outside.

Wu Ming didn't care about such trivial things as the position. He slid down and fell on the bed. He tried the pillow made by the quilt with his head. Although it was still not very comfortable, it was better than a wooden sleeper.

The Sheriff also lay down, face up, with his hands flat on his chest.

Wu Ming wanted to sleep, but he was used to living alone for many years, and suddenly there were more people around him, so he couldn't let go of his guard.Moreover, he is used to sleeping naked, and if he is suddenly asked to put on clothes to sleep, it feels like drinking too much tea and coffee, tossing and turning just can't sleep.

The county sheriff next to him did not move, but judging from his stiff posture and breathing frequency, he was not asleep either.

Perhaps because he felt Wu Ming tossing and turning, unable to sleep, the sheriff who was also awake asked, "Can't sleep?"

"Yes." Wu Ming did not deny it.

"why?"

"I'm afraid I'll be strangled to death by you in my sleep."

Wu Ming just said it casually, but the county guard next to him seemed to hear a joke that made him happy, and suddenly laughed in a low voice, and the more he laughed, the weirder and more terrifying he was.

Laugh at your sister!

What's so funny? !

Wu Ming was so hairy from the laughter that he simply turned over and turned to the sheriff.

"Hey, talk?"

"what?"

The sheriff stopped laughing, opened his eyes, and looked at Wu Ming suspiciously.

"I mean, let's talk and communicate." Wu Ming couldn't remember exactly how to speak these days. Fortunately, the original owner was a complete native, so he didn't cause trouble for him in terms of accent and hearing.

"What do you want to talk about?" the sheriff asked back.

"A lot." Wu Ming said, "For example, why did you marry me..."

"Town house." The sheriff replied directly, "I rule water in the five elements, but wherever I am, the yin flourishes and the yang declines..."

The county sheriff talked a lot in the tone of reciting texts, and it can be summed up in one meaning: the fortune teller told him that the reason why he married a lot of women but couldn't have children was because he was born on a bad day and had a negative mood. Heaviness, but women are inherently yin, and the superposition of the two is not good for offspring, even if it is broken, the child will not be born, so you have to marry a man with yang to help him sit in the back house, and the yin and yang are reconciled so that the women around him Conceive offspring, give birth to children.

"Do you believe it?" Wu Ming asked with black lines all over his head.

"Are you worried?" The sheriff glanced at Wu Ming, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a child."

"...Why on earth did you marry me?"
