Great Ming National Teacher

Chapter 22 Take a Bath

After watching four drills in a row, Zhu Youjian was still unsatisfied, and asked Li Yunya to continue the drill with great anticipation.

Li Yunya said with a smile: "I have trained this small first-year soldier. Out of 5000 people, I have been striving for excellence. I have trained a total of four battalions of top players, 1000 and [-] elites. I will show you today, and the rest It’s not as good as them, just don’t look at it.” He looked at his watch, “It’s getting late, everyone hasn’t had lunch yet, and the old people are going to faint from the sun here.” There are no seats on the upper floor of the city gate. They were all standing, under the hot sun at noon, everyone was sweating profusely, and some old men were wheezing and wheezing. Fortunately, he had someone prepare sour plum soup in advance, otherwise they would have passed out, "I will take you back to the seal first. Yuan Gong, take a bath and shower, then change clothes, eat something, and then watch other things. I have a lot of interesting things here, and I will keep you happy after reading them, and you don’t even want to go back to the Forbidden City!"

The ministers nearby were all very angry after hearing this: This monster really has no good intentions, and it is a heinous crime to seduce the emperor and make the emperor lose his mind and ignore the government!

Several servants raised their eyes to look at the ministers, the ministers looked at the cabinet scholars, the great scholars looked at the censors, and the censors looked at each other, and no one fired the first shot after holding back for a long time. If this was in the few dynasties before Jiajing, this Some people would have come out to curse the demons long ago, looking for death and life. After the baptism of Wei Gonggong in the past few years, the atmosphere has changed. Until Li Yunya led Zhu Youjian down the steps, no one said a word.

The main building of Fengyuan Palace has three floors. The hall is in the middle of the first floor, the east room is the reception room, the west room is the study room, and the second floor is the bedroom. Li Yunya lives in the east room. He packed the west room and gave it to Zhu Youjian.

Chinese people respect the east, and usually live in the old people, and their children live in the west room. The eunuchs protested once after they came to see it. Li Yunya didn't think about this beforehand. It was nothing to do with the inspection. Now that the ministers saw that he really let the emperor live in the Westinghouse, they were all filled with righteous indignation. On the spot, a head of the Ministry of Rites jumped out, posing as if the king was worried about the death of the minister: "Demon! You let the emperor Living in the lower part of your resident house, you dare to deceive the emperor, do you have the intention to usurp the throne?"

This is quite serious. If it is true, it will be Ling Chi's great crime to destroy the nine clans. Even if it is not true, it will leave a thorn in the emperor's heart. The master said: I have endured you for a long time!

Li Yunya was impatient to talk nonsense with him, as if he didn't hear, he led Zhu Youjian through the hall to the stairs: "Your Majesty, change your shoes here and go upstairs." He took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet next to him, The two best pairs in his space, the soles are very soft, inlaid with smooth pebbles, which can be used for foot massage. He wears a blue pair for himself, and gives Zhu Youjian a red pair.

His canvas shoes were easy to change, Zhu Youjian was wearing the boots at this time, the court lady knelt on the ground to take them off for him, and then put on slippers.

Zhu Youjian was very curious about the slippers. He stepped on the steps and took two steps. The eunuchs and maids had to help them, but Li Yunya stopped them: "Okay, you don't want to go up. I have something to say to the emperor."

The little eunuch was very anxious: "The emperor must always have someone to serve him..."

"What are you serving? He has hands and feet. He's eighteen or nineteen years old, and he's not disabled! Okay, okay, I'll finish serving him if I can't do it. Don't come up here! There are so many people making a fuss."

The eunuchs were so anxious that they were about to cry, Zhu Youjian hesitated, and waved: "You guys wait here first." He also wanted to talk to Li Yunya alone.

Li Yunya took Zhu Youjian upstairs, the young emperor stepped on the floor as if it were the ground, he was so curious that he couldn't hear the empty sound.

Upstairs, Li Yunya led him to the west room first: "This is the dormitory arranged for you, how about taking a look?"

There is a mahogany floor in the room, and there is a big bed by the north wall, which was originally covered with modern sheets, and the eunuchs spread two layers of mattresses, covered with bright yellow brocade mattresses. The bed must at least be a canopy bed, the kind with curtains falling down at night, Li Yunya refused to change it, but he changed a lot of things that were originally placed in the room, adding palace utensils such as incense burners and decoration.

Li Yunya opened the south and west windows to let the wind blow in, and gave Zhu Youjian a can of iced Sprite to drink.

He returned to his room, and took off the almost soaking python robe as quickly as possible, and took off his socks... He ran into the bathroom naked to take a shower. The reason why he didn't want the eunuch and maid to come up was because he was afraid of embarrassment.I washed myself from head to toe with the fastest speed to get rid of the heat, and then changed into a pair of comfortable cropped pants with a half-sleeve shirt on top and slippers on bare feet, which made me feel much more comfortable.

Coming back with a big cattail fan, Zhu Youjian was still dressed in the same clothes and sat on the chair: "Aren't you hot?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Li Yunya's refreshing body, and then felt as if he was in an oven. Although the clothes on his body were made of the best silk, they couldn't stand much. He was already sweating profusely, and he was a little cautious He flicked his cuffs and didn't speak.

"You don't...you don't know how to take off your clothes, do you?" Li Yunya smiled, "That's right, you usually use your clothes to stretch out your hands to eat, and you don't have those eunuchs and maids to serve you...but you can't even take off your clothes." ah!"

Zhu Youjian was a little ashamed, and his already familiar face added a touch of rosiness. In order to prove that he was not a waste who couldn't even take off his clothes, he began to unbutton his body, but the buttons of his clothes were under his ribs. And it's that kind of buckle, very tight, the maids are used to undoing it, and it will be undone as soon as they are undone. He struggled awkwardly for a long time before he undid two.

Li Yunya put down the cattail fan, and kindly came over to help him untie it: "Idiot, you can't even untie the buttons, so raise your hands!" He unbuttoned Zhu Youjian's ribs and said, "Born in the deep palace, grew up in women The hand of man is talking about you, young men of eighteen or nineteen years old who can't even unbutton their buttons, how can you be expected to govern such a big country well?"

Zhu You was having trouble checking his breath, but he felt that what Li Yunya said made sense: "The clothes next to you can be undone, but this one is newly made today, and the buttons are a little tight."

"Well, it's really tight." Li Yunya unbuttoned, took off his coat, hung it on the clothes hanger at the door, undid his coat, pulled off the socks on his feet, and threw them all into the outer room In a laundry tub, Zhu Youjian was stripped naked, and the golden crown used to bind his hair was also taken off, and then he was taken to the bathroom to take a shower.

"You, your body is not as strong as mine. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold if you take cold water directly. I'll boil a pot of hot water for you and add it."

Zhu Youjian was not convinced, he touched the faucet curiously: "Did Yunya just use this water to wash and bathe?"

"Yeah, just unscrew the valve like this."

Zhu Youjian twisted the door, and the shower head on it sprayed cool water.

Although it is cold water, there is actually a large water tank on the roof with an iron cover, which is exposed to the sun and the temperature is not low, with a temperature of more than 20 degrees. Zhu Youjian was sprinkled all over his head and face. He was amazed: "This can Spits out water for people to bathe in!"

"It's not that it sprays water by itself, but there is a large water tank on the top of the building. The water is stored in it first, and the water in it is drawn from the water tower in the northwest corner. If you are interested, I will show you later. Let me boil the water and take a bath first."

"No need!" Zhu Youjian unscrewed the valve, "The water is just hot and cold." Li Yunya said just now that he was not as strong as himself, and Zhu Youjian felt a little hurt to his self-esteem. He looked at the muscles on Li Yunya's arms, and The two bulges on the chest under the half-sleeved shirt silently squeezed his own, feeling a little disappointed.

Zhu Youjian has never taken a bath by himself since he was a child, and he always used a big wooden bucket, sprinkled with petals or something, and the maid waited for him to wash. This time he stood under the lotus canopy and washed it, a little bit confused.

Li Yunya decided to be a good person to the end, so he took off all his clothes, and came in to help Zhu Youjian wash, and first squeezed out Head & Shoulders to wash Zhu Youjian's long black and beautiful hair: "Is it hot to have such long hair?" , Washing every day is also troublesome, why not cut it like me, clean and refreshing, and easy, but your hair is really good, black and smooth, and elastic, well, the skin is also good, but there is no muscle, Lack of exercise, you are young, you have a young birthday, you haven't passed your seventeenth birthday yet, right? This body is like a weak chicken..."

Zhu Youjian listened silently, feeling a pair of powerful hands rubbing his body, first wet his whole body with water, and then pressed out some viscous liquid from a yellow plastic box and smeared it on himself, it was very refreshing , with the scent of mint, after applying it from head to toe, then take a thing called bath flower to wipe the whole body with white bubbles, and finally rinse it off with water.

When he came out of the bathroom, Zhu Youjian felt that the summer heat had completely faded away, and he felt refreshed.

Li Yunya had already changed his clothes, plus his own body was soaked in washing powder, and brought him a pair of playboy ice silk underwear, plus a pair of cropped pants and half-sleeves of the same style as himself Zhu Youjian is a little shorter than him, and he wears cropped trousers as cropped trousers: "How about it, is this comfortable to wear?"

Zhu Youjian watched as he brought the laundry tub to the balcony and began to wash the clothes of the two of them: "You don't need Yunya to do this, just leave it to the servants."

"What kind of servants do you want? I have hands and feet. Besides, I don't have servants here. I can do it myself and have enough food and clothing." Li Yunya took a small bench for Zhu Youjian to sit opposite him, "Are you hungry?" ? If you are hungry, there are biscuits in the drawer in the living room, take some and eat some first, and eat at night."

"I'm not very hungry." Zhu Youjian watched as he fished out his pair of silk brocade trousers from the water, put them on a wooden board covered with horizontal edges, sprinkled some white powder on them, and scrubbed them gently, which felt a little uncomfortable. Believe his own eyes, he knows that Li Yunya got at least 2000 million taels of silver from the eunuchs, which is more than the national treasury plus his own money. Even if there are no slaves, such trivial things as washing clothes should not Do it by yourself, Zhu Youjian does not fully agree with this point, "A man with the world in his heart, how can he spend time on these trivial matters?"

"Then there is another saying, "If you don't sweep for a day, when will you sweep the world?" Li Yunya didn't raise his head. He rubbed his silk underwear on the washboard twice before he woke up. It seemed that this thing couldn't be treated so roughly. , I can only rub it gently with my hands, I have never used silk things before, and I am inexperienced. When I found out, the underwear was already a little threaded. He pressed the underwear into the water calmly, and took out another silk He silently rubbed his middle coat with both hands, "Those big men outside can spend their time drinking tea and chatting, playing chess and amusing birds, racking their brains to write two crooked poems, or going to brothels and drinking flower wine, but they don't There is nothing to be proud of when you spend time washing your own clothes.” He himself doesn’t know how to wash silk clothes, let alone Zhu Youjian, so he is not in a hurry.

Zhu Youjian saw that he squatted on the ground and rubbed his hands with foam. He was clearly doing the work of servants, but he did not feel inferior to the servants at all, and he would not make people feel that he was inferior to others. Officials who do the work of servants will be laughed at by others, but here, on Li Yunya, he is deeply proud of doing it himself, and ashamed of calling slaves.

Do it yourself, well-fed?Zhu Youjian chewed silently.
