Chapter 217 Why are you wearing eunuch's clothes?

"How much firewood is left?"

"It was all burned. Later we burned the straw, but there wasn't much left."

At this time, Su Jiahe realized a serious problem. The ancient artificial greenhouses were very fuel-consuming, and fuel was very precious in ancient times. No wonder the greenhouse technology was not passed down.

Suddenly, Su Jiahe remembered the old saying, "One regrets not having enough knowledge when one needs it, and one never knows the difficulty of something until one has experienced it." If one doesn't practice it personally, one will never know what will happen.

"Brother Wang, I still have to go back and bring back some plastic film. The efficiency of ancient greenhouses is too low. Only plastic can take into account both light transmission and heat preservation." Su Jiahe hurriedly found Wang Mang to discuss.

Wang Mang thought about it and immediately shook his head.

"We need to plant so many potatoes. Even if we use plastic film, it will take thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds. Where can you get so many all at once?"

"What should we do then?" Su Jiahe frowned and kept searching for various solutions in his mind.

"I got it. Last time in the Southern Song Dynasty, you borrowed a lot of firearms. Now you can go find someone to borrow some." Wang Mang suddenly slapped his head.

"Who are you looking for?"

"You forgot, go find Xiu'er, he should have made plastics over there."

"That's something we can try, but Brother Wang, are you sure you want to go see him?" Su Jiahe had the impression that Wang Mang and Liu Xiu always quarreled when they met, and she never expected that he would still go and ask Liu Xiu for help.

"Although there is a grudge between us, this is for his great man and his descendants. He won't stand idly by."

"Okay, let's go find him then."

Su Jiahe took out the Time Document and went to Liu Xiu's dimension with Wang Mang, landing in a courtyard surrounded by red walls and green tiles, with dragon patterns on the pillars. It looked like an imperial palace.

However, Su Jiahe discovered that Wang Mang was missing.

"Brother Wang, where are you?" Su Jiahe looked around the yard, but there was no sign of Wang Mang.

"Oh no! Is there something wrong with the Time Document?"

Just as Su Jiahe was looking for Wang Mang, a young eunuch walked out of the house and saw Su Jiahe.

"Assassin, catch the assassin!"

"Hey, I'm not an assassin. I have something to talk to your emperor about." Su Jiahe had never encountered such a situation before. She was panicked and spoke incoherently.

"You're looking for the Emperor? Are you planning to assassinate His Majesty? Someone, come!"

The young eunuch screamed even louder and ran into the house in a hurry. After a while, a group of guards rushed in, each holding a musket and pointing it at Su Jiahe.

"Don't shoot, I'm not an assassin!" Su Jiahe was so scared that he quickly raised his hands, fearing that the firearms developed by Liu Xiu were of poor quality and might accidentally go off.

Just when Su Jiahe was about to be taken away by the guards, the little eunuch ran out again.

"Let them go, let them go. His Majesty has ordered that no one outside the gates be harmed."

"Thank God." Su Jiahe quickly turned around and walked in, only to see a large bathing pool inside. Liu Xiu was sitting by the pool wrapped in a bath towel, and Wang Mang was standing beside him, soaked all over, with a few flower petals on his clothes.

"Jiahe, don't come over." Wang Mang moved to the side to block the disheveled Liu Xiu.

"Brother Wang, how did you become like this?" Su Jiahe was shocked.

"Don't mention it. I don't know what's wrong with your time document. It directly sent me to the bathhouse. Xiu'er is still taking a bath." Wang Mang said as he took a towel to wipe his hair.

Liu Xiu remained silent, staring blankly at the ceiling with a look of utter despair, as if the scene he had just witnessed would take a lifetime to heal. "Uncle Wen, I'm so sorry, we'll be right out. Please change your clothes first," Su Jiahe said, turning around and leaving immediately.

"Wang Mang, I want to change my clothes, please get out." Liu Xiu stared at Wang Mang and said coldly.

"No, I'm soaked. If I go out now, I'll be frozen into a lump of ice in the cold wind. Do you have any change of clothes? I want to change into some too."

"Someone, bring me some clean clothes." Liu Xiu said, and pulled the curtain beside the bathtub with an expressionless face.

"What are you doing? Do you want to continue taking a bath?" Wang Mang asked, turning around.

"I don't want to see you change clothes."

After a while, the young eunuch brought a new set of clothes. Wang Mang took a look and found that it was exactly the same as the eunuch's.

"Hey, why are you wearing eunuch clothes?"

"This is the only dress in the palace. What else do you want to wear? Do you want to wear a dragon robe?" Liu Xiu's voice came from behind the curtain.

"You... Oh, forget it, I won't argue with you for now." For a moment, Wang Mang really wanted to put Liu Xiu's dragon robe on the hanger on himself, but when he thought that he came to ask for help, he decided not to provoke trouble.

After Wang Mang changed his clothes and walked out of the bathroom, Liu Xiucai began to change his clothes.

"Brother Wang, why are you wearing eunuch's clothes?" Su Jiahe was shocked.

"Don't mention it, Xiu'er did it on purpose." Wang Mang rolled his eyes. "Don't tell me, he's having a good life. He even puts flower petals in his bath."

About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Xiu came out after changing his clothes. Su Jiahe could see clearly that Liu Xiu had gray hair and many wrinkles on his face, but he was still handsome and handsome.

"Miss Su, your visit today was unexpected. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Please go to the other courtyard and have a seat first."

Su Jiahe and Wang Mang followed Liu Xiu to a small courtyard. As soon as they sat down, palace servants brought them glass tea sets and several plates of strawberries, apples and other fruits that only appeared in later generations.

"Xiu'er, it seems that you are doing well here." Wang Mang said, taking a bite of an apple.

"Yeah, Red Fuji."

"Not bad, thank you for your help. Now the people of the Han Dynasty have enough food and clothing, and can even learn to read. I've gathered many talented people, and they're working on developing things like power stations, microscopes, cars, and steamships."

"Wow, your place is so developed. We should be able to borrow some plastic film." Wang Mang was a little surprised.

"Isn't plastic everywhere in the future? Why are you asking me to borrow it?" Liu Xiu was a little confused.

"Uncle Wen, it's like this..." Next, Su Jiahe recounted in detail how he met Deng Sui, traveled through the Eastern Han Dynasty, and assisted Deng Sui in disaster relief and technological development.

"So, you are doing this for the Han."

"Yes, we see that your great-grandson's wife is having a hard time, so we came through to help her." Wang Mang said.

"You have left behind the comfortable lives of the afterlife and come to help the Han Dynasty. This is truly remarkable. Brother Wang, please go in first. I will have someone change your clothes."

After a while, Wang Mang came out wearing a brocade robe, looking very noble.

"Xiu'er, don't you have nice clothes in your palace? Why do you let me wear eunuch clothes? I helped you before."

"Brother Wang, I was just joking. Who asked you to watch me take a bath?" Liu Xiu said with a smile.

"Is that what I wanted to see? How could I have known it would fall into your bathroom."
