The renovation of the flowerbed was finally completed. Thanks to the fact that most of the houses in Datang are made of wooden structures, it is relatively simple to replace them. The only time-consuming thing is the kitchen and bathroom that Zhang Zong personally planned. These two places also use the most new things, such as water pipes, ceramic tiles, etc.

Zhang Zong and Xue Shaomai walked into the kitchen and saw that the four walls and floors of the entire kitchen were covered with white tiles, which looked very neat. Two stoves were built next to the window. However, Xue Shao walked over and looked at the two stoves, but he showed a puzzled expression. One of the stoves was very normal, and it seemed to be firewood or charcoal, but the other stove was a little strange.

"Brother Shi, why is this stove only one hole straight up and down?" Xue Shao couldn't help asking Zhang Zong in the end.

"This stove is not available for the time being, it is for the future." Zhang Zong explained with a smile.

"In the future, you have to prepare the stove in advance? And the stove looks so strange. This is the first time I have seen a stove like this?" Xue Shao asked curiously. He likes delicious food and likes to watch people cook, so he is very familiar with the things in the kitchen. However, this is the first time he has seen this strange stove.

"Haha, I can't explain this clearly for the time being, you will know it later!" Zhang Zong smiled mysteriously again.

Seeing that Zhang Zong didn't say anything, Xue Shao had no choice. After the two of them walked around the kitchen, Zhang Zong also deliberately opened the water valve and tried. A clear stream of water immediately flowed out, which made him nodded with satisfaction.

After leaving the kitchen, you can see a newly built high platform at a glance. This high platform is actually the small water tower in Zhang Zong’s home. There is a well under the water tower, but now he has raised the wall of the well a lot so that the debris will not fall into it.

In addition, the pulley used for water lifting is also mounted on the high platform, so that the water can be directly lifted to the high platform and poured into a large water tank on the high platform. There are holes under the water tank so that the water flow can lead to the kitchen and bathroom along the water pipe, forming a simple water supply system.

Xue Shao was very curious about this small water tower. He climbed up the ladder, then carried a bucket of water and poured it into the water tower. Then he said excitedly to Zhang Zong: "Brother Shi, such a large water tank can raise a group of fish in it!"

"Go! My water is for food, not for fish!" Zhang Zong gave him a blank look, then went into the bathroom and tried the toilet. The toilet water storage tank was hung high, with a rope hanging next to it. When using it, pull the rope, and the water flow would flush the toilet from the tank along the water pipe and flush the dirt inside into the sewer. This finally solved the most difficult problem of the toilet in Zhang Zong.

In addition, the bathroom is divided into three parts. In addition to the toilet room and the outermost bathroom, there is also a bathroom at the bottom and a large bathtub with ceramic tiles. The only pity is that there is no hot water pipe. If you want to take a hot bath, you must boil the hot water and pour it in.

After visiting the brand new home, Zhang Zong nodded with satisfaction. Although he had been directing the craftsmen to construct, he had no idea whether he could meet his requirements before. After all, this era is too backward, but now it seems that it has exceeded his expectations. In some places, the craftsmen have even made some improvements, which are better than what he originally designed.

"Brother Shi, your place is so convenient. If I want to stay for a few days in the future, don't refuse!" Xue Shao also ran in excitedly and said again.

"No problem, you can live as long as you want!" Zhang Zong laughed loudly, and his heart was full of expectations for future life.

The house was renovated, and all the furniture in the home was replaced with new ones. These furniture were also made by carpenters according to Zhang Zong's requirements. The style was very novel. He even asked someone to create a row of wooden sofas, but not placed in the living room, but in his study, so that he could lie on the sofa to read books in the future.

The house had been cold for a few days and could be lived in, so in the afternoon of that day, Zhang Zong moved his luggage back from Princess Chengyang's mansion. After all, the golden nest is not as good as his own grass nest. No matter how good other people's house is, it is not as comfortable as his own home.

Of course, there is another reason why Zhang Zong is so anxious to move back, that is, Li Hong has already come back, and he has made an appointment with the other party to go to Furongyuan to meet him tonight.

The moon was on the treetops. When Zhang Zong heard three chess of chewing at the opposite side of the wall, he erected the ladder on the wall, and then climbed up the top of the wall along the ladder. A wooden platform stood beside the wall. This was the platform that Princess Taiping had made when she peeked at his home. Now it is convenient for Zhang Zong to enter and exit Furong Garden.

Speaking of Princess Taiping, she was taken back to the palace while Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang returned to Beijing. Although the Tang Dynasty was open and the princess was not as strict as later generations, it was not easy for her to leave the palace again, which made Zhang Zong breathe a sigh of relief, and finally there was no need to worry that the other party would pester her again.

Zhang Zong walked down the stairs of the high platform and saw Li Hong standing in front with a smile. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect that you helped the court solve a big case after I left for a while. This made me very curious. How many skills do you have to let me know?"

"Well, I'm just making some suggestions. The ones who really solved the case were Luo Binwang and Zhou Wu." Zhang Zong felt a little embarrassed by Li Hong's praise, and immediately coughed dryly.

"You don't have to be modest. I already knew what happened in Luoyang. If it weren't for your guidance, I'm afraid that Luo Binwang, the old talented man, would be in trouble." Li Hong smiled again. Although Luo Binwang was just a little master, he was quite talented in the Shilin. Of course, he had heard of it.

Li Hong said as he pulled Zhang Zong to the pavilion last time. Hot water was burning in the charcoal stove on the table, and there were various tea sets next to it. Then Li Hong personally brewed tea for Zhang Zong and then spoke: "This tea is new tea sent from the south. After you reminded me last time, I didn't even dare to drink tea. I will take away a few pieces when you leave."

"Thank you, Prince!" Zhang Zong also hurriedly thanked. Although the Tang Dynasty likes to add some messy things to make tea, if you only use tea cakes, the taste is still good.

"By the way, it's rare that you asked to see me on your own initiative. Is there anything wrong?" Li Hong finally asked about the serious matter at this time. He had always looked for Zhang Zong before, but this time it was Zhang Zong who took the initiative to find him, so he also guessed that Zhang Zong must have something important.
Chapter completed!
