"Be careful, put it slowly, okay!" With Zhang Zong personally directed, a piece of long pottery tube was placed into a long-dig ditch, and several pieces of the same tube had been placed inside.

These long tubes are specially customized by Zhang Zong. There are many workshops for firing ceramics around Chang'an City. Generally, these workshops do not accept private customization. However, there happened to be a pottery workshop under the name of Princess Chengyang. Through Xue Shao's relationship, Zhang Zong customized a batch of pottery and porcelain from the workshop. Although it cost a lot, Zhang Zong felt that the flowers were worth it.

The pottery tube is large and the other end is small. When connected together, it is tightly connected. This pottery tube is the main sewer in Zhang Zong’s home. The drainage of the kitchen and bathrooms all walks from here and finally enters the drainage pipe of Furongyuan.

In fact, it is not uncommon to lay a sewer like this. There is a drainage system in Furong Garden, and Xue Shao's home also has a drainage system. Even the entire Chang'an City has a huge drainage system. Otherwise, nearly one million people would live in Chang'an City. If there is no drainage system, the entire Chang'an City would be stinking in a few days.

With the laying of the drainage system, the construction of the kitchen and bathroom has also been put on the agenda. Other houses are only renovated, but the kitchen and bathroom are rebuilt. I won’t talk about the bathroom. Zhang Zong had long wanted to rebuild it, but the kitchen was too small and had too single function, which could not meet Zhang Zong’s needs at all.

According to Zhang Zong's plan, two bathrooms should be built, one next to his bedroom, which was used by him privately, and the other followed by the wing room, which is mainly for guests to use.

As for the toilet, there was a problem, because the structure was complicated and difficult to burn, he had already discussed with the craftsmen in the pottery workshop and decided to burn a simpler one, separated from the toilet. Although it was a little troublesome, it was barely available.

"Sanlang, is there really no problem with the water valve?" Zhang Zong found Xue Shao, who was inspecting the tiles, and asked. These tiles were prepared for the bathroom and kitchen. Zhang Zong planned to stick them all over the tiles so that they could be easily maintained.

"I've asked, absolutely no problem. It just takes some time and it will be delivered in ten days!" Xue Shao raised his head and smiled.

"That's good, but whether it is a water valve or a water pipe, the copper used can be sten-free, but you must not add lead. That thing is poisonous. If you don't want to get poisoned while eating in the future, you must keep an eye on it!" Zhang Zong immediately reminded him again.

The exquisite faucet is not easy to build for the time being. Even if it can be built, it may take some time for craftsmen to study it. Therefore, Zhang Zong chose a simpler but bulky water valve, as long as it can control the switch of the water pipe, but this thing and the water pipe are made of copper, which is quite touching.

In addition, using pure steel can easily rust, but bronze can resist oxidation very well. However, some bronzes will be added to them. This thing is heavy metal. Zhang Zong does not want to make himself poisoned by heavy metals, so he repeatedly reminded Xue Shao to pay attention to the bronze material used.

"Don't worry, I sent the supervisor to buy pure copper myself, and then sent it to someone to smel it into bronze. He stared at the materials used in person, and there would be no problems!" Xue Shao patted his chest and promised.

After hearing this, Zhang Zong finally felt relieved. Having power is really much better than having money. For example, even if he has money, he can't do it even if he has money, but for Xue Shao, it is a simple thing.

"Brother Shi, isn't it a bit too luxurious to use porcelain to lay the floor and stick the wall?" Xue Shao asked Zhang Zong with a flat tiles at this time. Porcelain was quite expensive in the Tang Dynasty. Most people could only afford pottery, and only wealthy families would use porcelain, so the price of these tiles in Zhang Zong was quite expensive.

"There is no way. The bathroom and kitchen are easy to hide dirt and dirt, and it is not easy to clean. However, after all, they are covered with tiles, they will be cleaned if they are dirty." Zhang Zong said helplessly.

Although the cost of bronze water pipes is high, they are lucky enough to use them, but the ceramic tiles are not necessarily the case. This thing is large and expensive. Zhang Zong calculated the account and found that after renovating it as required, he probably spent almost the money he had saved before. If it exceeds the cost, he might have to borrow some from Xue Shao or prepay his dividends in the soap business.

"It makes sense to say this, but if I do this, I will definitely be beaten to death by my mother because of a prodigal family." Xue Shao nodded first, and then showed an envious expression to Zhang Zong. He really envied Zhang Zong for no one to care about him and he could spend his money anyway.

"Maybe the eldest princess will renovate the kitchen and bathroom in my future in the future." Zhang Zong also understood Xue Shao's desire for freedom and his desire to be undisciplined, which is also a common problem for all adolescents.

"By the way, my mother sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that they would probably be back soon." When talking about Princess Chengyang, Xue Shao suddenly thought of something and spoke.

"So fast? Didn't you say you would stay in Luoyang for a few months, or maybe you wouldn't come back until autumn?" Zhang Zong asked with a surprised expression when he heard this. He clearly remembered that Li Hong said before leaving that they would stay in Luoyang for a few months, but now they have only been a month before they are coming back.

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because the weather is getting cooler now, so my uncle and the others are preparing to come back. Maybe there is something urgent, no one can tell." Xue Shao didn't know the reason.

"I know this!" But at this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from behind. When Zhang Zong and Xue Shao added their heads, Li Xian came over with a smile on his face. His white teeth shone in the sun, making people's eyes blurred.

"King Yong knows the reason?" Although Zhang Zong didn't like to see Li Xian's handsome face, he still asked curiously.

"Of course, my mother went to Luoyang this time to escape the summer heat, but in fact she went to Fengxian Temple in Luoyang to pray for her father and elder brother's health, hoping that they would no longer be troubled by illness."

When he said this, Li Xian paused for a moment and then said, "Actually, three years ago, my mother used her own powder money to order people to dig a Lushe Buddha in Fengxian Temple to pray for his father. This year, the main body of the Buddha was also completed, so my mother also wanted to go and see it. It was a coincidence that my father's condition improved a little after going to Luoyang. My brother's body had improved a lot before he went there. So after praying for blessings, my mother felt that it was nothing to stay in Luoyang, so she persuaded her father to come back early."

"So that's it!" Zhang Zong nodded after hearing this, but he was a little dissatisfied. Wu Meiniang proposed to go to Luoyang this time, because of her own intervention, her plan failed. Perhaps it was because of her disappointment that she decided to come back early.

"It's over, my parents are coming back, and my happy days are coming to an end!" At this time, another young voice shouted in grief. When Zhang Zong looked up, he saw the calm and righteous little face on the wall looking at the sky, with an expression of indulgence. After all, her parents are coming back, and it will be very difficult for her to leave the palace in the future.

"Why are you climbing up again? Can't you come here with your cousin?" Xue Shao immediately shouted unhappily when he saw Taiping on the wall. He and Taiping's horoscope were in conflict, and they would definitely quarrel whenever they met.

"I'm happy, do you have any control?" Taiping responded with a proud look on his face.

"Taiping, don't mess around, hurry up, if you want to come here, come over, what will you look like when standing on the wall?" Li Xian said with a stern face when he saw Taiping. He often brought Taiping here during this period, but he didn't know what happened today. This girl didn't follow him, but just went directly to the wall like before?

"No, you are all taller than me. I have to look up at you when I speak. Sometimes you ignore me. Now I want you to taste the taste of talking with your head raised!" Taiping said angrily at last.

"You...you girl really likes to hold grudges!" Li Xian was also amused and crying after hearing this.

Zhang Zong was also silenced. Unexpectedly, Princess Taiping stopped following him because of this trivial matter. However, it was a good thing for Li Zhi and his wife to come back. At least he no longer had to worry about Taiping climbing the walls of his house every day to peep.

"Forget it, just do whatever you like!" Li Xian had no choice but to shake his head helplessly in the end.

After Li Xian said that, he ignored Taiping, then looked at the progress of the project at Zhang Zong's home, and then spoke again: "The progress is quite fast. I guess when your father and the others come back from Luoyang, you should have built it here as soon as possible."

"Well, some details need to be modified, which may take some more time." Zhang Zong nodded. He was full of expectations for this renovated home. Unfortunately, he could not connect to the Internet in this era. If there were computers and mobile phones, he could stay in the Tang Dynasty for the rest of his life.

"By the way, I will hold a banquet at my mansion in two days. Today I will invite you and Sanlang to attend!" Li Xian took out two invitations from his sleeve and handed them to Zhang Zong and Xue Shao and said.

"There is a banquet? It's great. Who did you invite, cousin?" Xue Shao snatched the invitation and said excitedly. He likes lively at his best, so he always refuses such banquets.

"They are all famous young handsome men in Chang'an City, and there are also some noble children. Everyone gathers together to talk, drink and recite poems. It's not me who boasts. This is definitely a rare gathering in Chang'an City!" Li Xian said proudly at the end. There are only a few people in Chang'an City who have such appeal, and he is one of them.
