I guess the nanny had told me about this in private.

After eating the fruit, the three began to install the heating stove.

After choosing a good location and testing the height of the chimney by gesturing, he drilled a round hole in the window paper, passed a section of the chimney through the window, extended it directly outside the eaves, and tied it to the window edge so that it was parallel to the ground.

The end inside the house is connected with a right-angle corner joint, and the other side of the joint is connected to the vertically placed chimney embedded in the smoke outlet of the stove.

Changle watched everyone installing this and joined in the fun, helping out for quite a while but ended up making things worse.

The stove was installed and almost ready to be lit. "Sister Agate, please go to the backyard and ask the maid to bring some firewood. No charcoal, just some thin, flammable firewood."

"Okay." Agate replied and left.

"Mammy, I'll get some coal."

"Okay, let's go."

Shen Ruyi walked out of the room and came to the ear room next to the Agate House, which was temporarily vacant.

Several bags of coal were taken out, as well as some honeycomb briquettes.

He found a small box, filled it with coal, and returned to Changle House with the lighter.

Just as he put down his things, Agate came in with Baizhi and carrying firewood.

Shen Ruyi said to Bai Zhi: "Go and do your work first. I'll call you when I need you."

Bai Zhi retreated.

Shen Ruyi took some firewood and put it into the furnace, opened the air inlet, and lit it with an igniter. Soon the firewood caught fire. He put some more firewood on it, and after it burned for a while, he put coal on the top.

In just a few minutes, the coal caught fire, and the flames were very strong, rising continuously.

I checked the chimney and found no smoke leakage, so the fire was completely out.

Two adults and a child gathered around the heating stove, watching the curious scene.

Shen Ruyi specifically said to Changle: "When this heats up, it's very hot.

But you can't touch it directly with your hands, especially Changle, you can't get close to the stove, it's easy to burn you. If you are obedient, I will reward you with delicious food, which can be roasted and eaten, and it is very sweet and soft. "

"I am obedient, sister, I am obedient, I am an obedient child."

"Sister, I understand. Now it all depends on Changle's performance."

As they were talking, the room became warmer, especially the side of their bodies closest to the stove, which felt hot and very comfortable on a cold day.

Burning floor heating can only ensure that the house is not cold, but it cannot make the house warm.

“If you have nothing to do during the day, Mammy and Sister Manjushri, you can stay in this room. It’s warm.

Although coal is good, there is one important point: when the stove lid is opened for heating, you must open a window or leave a crack in the door to allow air to circulate inside and outside the house. Otherwise, you will easily get poisoned. "

"Are the consequences of poisoning serious?" asked Agate.

"In serious cases, people will become stupid and dumb in mild cases, and they may die in severe cases. I am talking about the worst possible outcome. As long as you pay more attention to it, you will be fine. After all, poisoning is very rare.

But Changle can't stay in this room alone. From now on, I'll stay here at night and keep you company. When I'm not here, you two can come and keep each other company."

The nanny was a little scared when she heard this: "Manou, Ruyi may not be here, so we have to be more careful in our daily lives. We can't be careless at all."

"Okay, Mammy," Agate replied.

As he spoke, Su Mu, who was on duty in front, came over and knocked on the door, saying that Brother Chen and Wang Yan had arrived.

Shen Ruyi went straight out of the inner courtyard and came to the outer courtyard. Chen Liang and Wang Yaren were already waiting in the reception room.

Shen Ruyi went in and sat down. "I haven't seen you two for a few days. I missed you so much."

"Hello, little master. I miss you a lot, too."

"Wang Yaren, is the second courtyard that you showed me a few days ago and that was priced at 4200 taels still there?"

"Yes, little master."

"Help me negotiate the price. It's still the same old rules. With 4000 as the base, I'll pay you 100 taels for every 10 taels below. And for every 3500 taels below 100 taels, I'll pay you 20 taels. Once you've negotiated the price, come to me and get the official deed."

"Okay, little boss." Then he stood up and walked out.

Shen Ruyi shouted outside the house: "Sumu, arrange a carriage to take Wang Yaren to do his work."

"Okay, Master."

Shen Ruyi added: "After this is done, we can talk about other things when we come back."

"Okay, little boss, see you later."

After Wang Yaren left, Shen Ruyi looked at Chen Liang and asked, "How is the thing I asked you to do a few days ago?"

"Young Master, I will tell you one thing at a time. So far, the matter between the Shangshu Mansion and the Duke's Mansion has not only not been resolved, but has become more and more serious.

In the morning court, you complained about me and I complained about you. The government has sent a large number of people to prison in the past few days. Most of them are from the Shangshu Mansion faction. "

The government is taking this opportunity to clean out the termites. "Go on."

"The young master of the Duke's Mansion has not woken up yet. The Duke's Mansion is offering a huge reward to find a famous doctor. So, the Duke's Mansion is holding on to the Shangshu Mansion. The Shangshu Mansion apologized and wanted to reconcile, but the Duke's Mansion now refuses to reconcile."

"I see. Let's talk about other things."

"At Shenwu, our people tipped off the group of people who like to set up schemes, saying that the family is very rich and the old lady in the family likes the youngest child very much, so they can definitely get the money. They also said it would be best to get more at one time, so that they will be on guard in the future and it will be difficult to do it.

That group of people first led Shen Wu to spend money at a brothel, and then went to the casino to spend money a few times. Now the snowball is getting bigger and bigger, and the money is getting more and more. It's already more than two, and it's still going on. I plan to come to your house to collect the debt in a few days."

"Let them know that when they come to your house, they should make as much noise as possible, so that they won't default on their debt."

"Okay, it will definitely be very big, young master. Those people are the kind of people who eat people without leaving any bones. Now that they have finally caught a big fish, how can they let the fish get away?"

"Do you know which faction this group of people belongs to?"

"I don't know which faction they belong to, but their methods are pretty cruel. But they are definitely not from Yang Shangshu's mansion. I have confirmed it by asking around."

"They are definitely not from Yang Shangshu's residence, and they are definitely not afraid of retaliation from Yang Shangshu's residence.

Let's stop here and consider it over. Tell your people not to follow up any further, lest they get discovered. It's too dangerous. Let's talk about Shen Ni's in-laws' family."

"Shen Ni's husband is called Yang Ninghao, a scholar from the side branch of Yang Shangshu's mansion. He comes from an ordinary family and is preparing for the imperial examination. He was previously considered a marginal figure in the side branch and was not taken seriously.

In recent years, he has been in trouble because of his relationship with Yang Lishu, the concubine of Yang Shangshu. Now the family's household expenses are supported by Shen Ni's dowry.

Shen Ni's father-in-law is also very noisy. He is not young anymore. Since Shen Ni came into the family, he has promoted several concubines and wants to continue promoting them. He and Shen Ni's mother-in-law fight almost every day. "
