On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Opposite the door is a huge screen with a mahogany frame. It has a hard texture, fine grain and a warm luster.

On both sides of the screen, there is a passage winding to the back. On the walls of the passage are hung ink paintings depicting bathing scenes. The characters are of various shapes, some are taking a comfortable bath, while others are chatting and laughing, which makes people imagine the leisurely fun of bathing.

In the center of the hall, three white marble pools are scattered around, with smooth and delicate pool walls.

Each pool is surrounded by wooden benches for relaxation, and elegant potted plants separate the pools.

Lin Zhen was in the middle pool with the most suitable water temperature.

At this moment, he was lying comfortably against the wall of the pool, his slender and strong body completely submerged in the water, with only his strong neck and angular face exposed.

His eyes were lightly closed, his thick eyelashes casting a faint shadow under his eyelids, and his expression was relaxed and content.

Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps broke the moment of silence.

Lin Zhen's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile, thinking that it must be Chu Xiling who came.

Soon, Chu Xiling wrapped in a silk bath towel came into view.

The bath towel was like a layer of gauze, gently fitting on her body, yet unable to completely conceal her exquisite figure.

The hem of the bath towel barely covered the roots of her thighs. As she walked, her fair and tender thighs were faintly visible, which aroused people's imagination. Looking up, the top of the bath towel was bulging, outlining her proud breasts, like a ripe peach, full and tempting.

Chu Xiling moved lightly with lotus steps, holding an exquisite tea tray steadily in her hand. On the tray was a set of ancient tea sets and a pot of steaming strong tea.

She stepped cautiously into the bathtub, and the sudden warmth made her feet tremble slightly.

When she found an empty seat next to Lin Zhen, she sat down gently and gracefully.

"This bathtub is very similar to the one in your world. It's nice and very comfortable to soak in. But I'm very curious where your hot water comes from. Is there someone boiling it down there?" Chu Xiling opened her red lips and spoke as she skillfully picked up the tea set. With a light wave of her white hand, she poured a cup of fragrant tea for Lin Zhen. The rising steam blurred her face, but added a bit of hazy beauty to her.

Lin Zhen slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of laziness and comfort in his eyes.

He looked at Chu Xiling beside him, his eyes lingering briefly on her skin that was faintly visible under the towel, then he smiled and nodded: "That's right, look over there."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned Chu Xiling to look at the two water outlets above the bathtub.

Chu Xiling looked in the direction of his finger and saw two bamboo cylinders protruding from the wall. At this moment, no hot water was flowing out, only a dripping sound.

"This is where we heat the water. The bamboo pipes are connected to the back, and someone is in charge of boiling the water. The boiled water is poured in to adjust the water temperature. The water in the pool is changed every day, so there is no need to worry about it getting dirty."

Lin Zhen explained patiently.

"That's a good idea, but the temperature of this bath is still too low, and it's winter now, so it will be very cold after you get out of the water."

"I've already thought of this. There's a basement beneath this floor. In the basement, there are pipes I designed with hot water. In the winter, the water will circulate and heat the bluestone slabs, which will increase the temperature. It's just that I came here unexpectedly today, and they haven't heated up the bluestone slabs yet."

"You're not talking about geothermal?"

“Yes, it’s geothermal.”

"Hahaha, you are really a genius, but your genius will not last long. Because our first boiler is about to be born."

"Huh?" Lin Zhen nearly jumped out of the water. "Boiler!? You even know that?"

"Besides, do you think I like playing politics like you do? I've learned a lot in your world."

Good guy.

It used to be a pipe, and now it is a boiler.

In just one month, Chu Xiling had given him such a huge surprise.

Chu Xiling leaned forward slightly, wanting to hand Lin Zhen a cup of tea.

However, this action caused the bath towel, which was already unable to cover the body, to slide off.

She screamed and quickly reached out to steady herself. Two blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks, making her look very shy and charming.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen's smile deepened. He raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, jokingly saying, "Since you've already revealed your beauty, why not be more generous!"

Chu Xiling rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and gently slapped his hand away: "You look like a dead person!"

Although he said this, there was no annoyance in his eyes, but rather a hint of intimacy.

She picked up another cup of tea, blew away the cool air gently, and handed it to Lin Zhen: "Try it, this is something I made myself, see if it suits your taste."

Lin Zhen took the tea and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea instantly spread in his mouth, mixed with the warm scent of the pool water, making him feel comfortable all over.

"Mmm! Good tea."

He admired her sincerely, and his scorching gaze fell on Chu Xiling again.

Chu Xiling twisted her body, turned over and sat on Lin Zhen's legs, hooked her hands around his neck, and said in a sweet breath: "Control yourself! Don't move!"

"Why?"

"No! Because I haven't finished asking."

"Then ask." Lin Zhen said, reaching his hands into the water and holding Chu Xiling's thighs.

Chu Xiling didn't care and said with a smile: "You have overlooked one thing, that is, women in this era can't bathe together. It's okay for you to teach men how to bathe, but why do you teach women's as well?"

"See? You still haven't learned enough modern knowledge! Women don't bathe together, why don't you persuade them to do so?"

"What do you mean? You stripped me naked and threw me into the hot tub just because I didn't want to wash myself?"

"Have you forgotten? I've set up a newspaper. We can use it to promote the benefits of bathing. I'll have Chun'er visit the homes of the nobility and bring their wives here to bathe. Just think about it, if those noble ladies are willing to bathe together, then why wouldn't the common people be willing to do so? Then I'll open bathhouses all over Daqian and make a killing!"

"The people of Daqian are unlucky to have you." Chu Xiling rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

Lin Zhen quickly hugged her: "Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?"

"I'm done washing, it's time to go back to the academy!"

"No! My husband is not fragrant yet."

"Ah? Don't do anything stupid!"

"Hahahahahaha." Lin Zhen laughed a few times and hugged Chu Xiling tightly in his arms.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, their skin touching, and the scorching heat was transmitted through the pool water, making their hearts flutter like deer.

"Don't you like outdoor battles the most? This place is great today." After saying that, Lin Zhen sucked hard on her earlobe, causing her whole body to tremble.
