When Shi Sun's accident happened, Fan Sijia happened to take leave and returned to his hometown, but he didn't know the news as soon as possible. When she came back, she heard that Mrs. Shi had moved to Qingxinju to recuperate. The events of the day, the little girls at the bottom are not clear, and they are all guessing in private. Now there are different opinions, there are all kinds of theories, none of them are accurate, and Fan Sijia just listens to it, and he doesn't take it seriously. To say that in the entire courtyard, the only one who is qualified to accompany Shi Sun's left and right into the outer room of the ancestral hall is the Wu family.

However, the Fan Si family and this Wu family have been rivals for many years! asked Fan Sijia to bow his head and ask her, but there was no door!

Neither can the Wu family, and the little maids around him are not clear. Such a big thing is lying there, and Fan Sijia's heart is like being scratched by a monkey's claws.

After struggling for a few days, Fan Sijia finally couldn't help it and decided to ask clearly. However, instead of asking the Wu family, he went straight to Qingxinju.

Fan Sijia thought very clearly, no matter what happened, Mrs. Shi was always the hostess of the Shi family, even if the maid's private discussion was true, but who didn't have a stumbling hurdle in the aisle, it was not good to say, when the ancestors went west in the future, wouldn't this Shi family be the biggest in the future? The livelihood of the rest of his life depends on this hostess.

She was thinking more than that, now that Mrs. Shi was out of power, it was a good time for her to show her loyalty. In the future, when Mrs. Shi recovers from her injuries and returns to power, she will be able to lose her own benefits

Thinking about this, Fan Si's family found an excuse, and went to Qingxinju happily.

The Shi Sun clan is no longer what it used to be. Not to mention living in such a deserted place as Qingxinju, the maids and mothers-in-law who served around him were all replaced, and they were all replaced by the henchmen of the ancestors. She was nominally here to recuperate, but in fact she was under house arrest, which was no different from going to prison.

If the Fan Sijia wanted to see Mrs. Shi, they had to go through the permission of the two mothers-in-law under the corridor before they came in. Mrs. Shi was originally lying on the couch in a daze, and when she heard the voice of Fan Sijia outside the door, she immediately shook her spirits, sat up straight, and casually picked up a cold tea on the kang table in her hand, and picked up the style of the Duchess again. No matter how down-and-out he is, he can't let his subordinates look down on him, otherwise he really won't have a chance to turn over.

Fan Sijia's heart was a little fluttering when they saw the environment of Qingxin's residence, but when they saw Mrs. Shi's spiritual head and posture, their floating hearts fell back into their stomachs steadily.

"Here we are." Shi Sun's eyelids did not lift, and he opened his mouth with these two words.

Fan Sijia nodded his head, as before, and after saluting, he went around to Shi Sun's back and pinched her shoulder.

"Does Madame's injury still hurt?" The tone was full of flattery.

Shi Sunshi simply closed his eyes, and the appearance of ignoring the answer made the style of the Duchess more sufficient.

"I'm getting better after taking the medicine. How's it going out there? ”

"Oh, madam, it's good to hide here and enjoy Qingfu, it's not a mess outside. The slave maid looked at it, this house, if it was disturbed by the young grandmother, it would be messed up sooner or later. She has such a family background, where can she manage such a big stall! When Madame recovers, they don't want to rely on you to go out and help. ”

Shi Sun listened to it and was very useful. The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "What are you doing today, but she asked you to come?"

Fan Sijia's "hehe" laughed a few times dryly, and said, "The slave maid has something to make up her mind, so she came to ask Mrs. for advice!"

"Hmph", Shi Sun's tone was arrogant, and he snorted coldly: "Now that I'm not in charge, someone else has made up your own ideas for you, and you still use them to bother me?" ”

"Second Grandma Feng, what do she know! She doesn't eat as much salt as you eat, and if everything in this house is explained to her, I don't know what the mess will become! ”

Shi Sun glanced at her, and finally smiled with his mouth hooked.

Fan Sijia's sycophants were filmed, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and talked about things: "It's hot now, and it's about to be in the ambush day." The slave maid took a few little children today, and personally supervised the opening of the ice cellar as in previous years. And the ice that had been chiseled was stored in its portions and put into the accounts. Madam, where do we need to send some and how much? ”

In previous years, Shi Sun's family wrote a note and handed it over to the Fan Sijia to do, which is also a major thing that the Shi family has to do every year as soon as the summer begins. This ice, an unusual object, is something that only large families have the financial resources to store, and every summer, this ice is worth more than those gold and silver jewelry on the market. This ice job, but it is a good job with oil and water, or she once racked her brains to snatch it from the Wu family.

Mrs. Shi sighed, speaking of these chores, she was naturally familiar with the road, and her words were quite complacent: "You count the days." Set aside the hottest months, and divide the remaining ice into a few portions and send some to the mansions that often come and go. Nowadays, in Kyoto, apart from the Imperial Palace, there are not many people who can afford to store ice. I also heard a while ago that the youngest granddaughter of the Duke of Qi had suffered from heat stroke, and she got better after a lot of trouble. After speaking, she asked Fan Sijia to take a pen to write it down, and said a string of Ming'er from the Duke's Mansion. As she spoke, she thought to herself, among these noble circles in Kyoto, how many noble ladies could Bai Xiaochu recognize. If this thing is really done for her, can't she be worried to death? This time, I simply sent more ice out, and when the stock in the house was not enough, people were very hot, and complaints would definitely arise. When the time comes, see what she can do!

Fan Sijia has not yet comprehended the deep meaning of the master, and after this list of names, she feels that there is not much ice left. After a while, he spoke: "If only it had been in previous years." Today, I went to the ice cellar to take a look, although there were mats and soil seals, and there was still a lot of water, which was useless. The rest of the ...... I'm afraid that if we use it in our own house, it's not enough. Maybe it wasn't sealed last winter, so I'll check it out when I go back, but I'm going to punish the little ones who built the kiln last year. ”

Actually, Fan Sijia just picked up nice words. She has been a housekeeper for so many years, how can she not know the reason for this, but she can't be pierced in front of her master. I think that at the beginning, when she first entered the Shifu, every Sunday, the ice in the ice cellar was moved out in large chunks, and it could not be used up, which was like now, so carefully calculated, it was only enough for a month or two. After so many years of Shifu, although the title has been passed down smoothly and steadily from generation to generation, the family assets inside are far less than before. In winter, digging ice, transporting ice, and storing ice is a very financially and manpower-intensive job, and it is not easy to maintain it year after year.

Master Shi had mentioned it a few times a long time ago, and wanted to save the cost of the house, but Mrs. Shi couldn't take this face, so she insisted on holding on to face for a few more years, but the stock of this ice was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing Mrs. Shi's eyebrows, Fan Sijia didn't speak, and hurriedly smiled and "offered advice", but she didn't want to, but she hit the right one, and fell into Mrs. Shi's arms: "Madam, although there is a little less ice this year, if you think about it, there will still be some left." In my opinion, in addition to the master's study and your courtyard, plus the ancestors, other places can be saved. The face of our Guogong Mansion is important, and they must not be able to say anything. ”

Shi Sun's heart was exactly what he thought, and when Fan Sijia said it, he didn't show it on his face, but instead made a look of embarrassment: "You can weigh it." Then he thought of something, and added: "Huan'er, he can't stand the heat, so leave some for his yard." ”

Fan Sijia thought that he had slapped the master's ass, and offered suggestions to share the worries of the master, and this trip was worth it. So she pinched Mrs. Shi's shoulders and legs again, and then went to work happily.

In the summer day, the weather is really hot day by day. Ning Yun didn't go out much at other times, except for getting up early to go to the ancestor to ask for a good night's news, and then went to the front to deal with some household affairs, and basically didn't go out much at other times, and most of the time she hid in the shade of the yard to avoid the heat.

The ice in Shifu is stored in the cellar, and it has always been managed by the daughter-in-law surnamed Qian under the hands of Fan Sijia, and each courtyard is withdrawn by a pair of cards. In previous years, this has been done this way, but this year, the pair of cards for this ice has not been dealt for a long time. Seeing that the day was getting hotter and hotter day by day, the people in the courtyards of the house soon became a little impetuous.

On this day, Caiyue went to receive a few things for the summer, and when she came back, her face was very bad. Ning Yun asked her, but she didn't hide it, and she didn't care if Shi Lingfeng was there or not. It turned out that when she went to get something, she bumped into Feng Lan, the girl next to Sun Miaoru, who has always been a girl who likes to compare among the maids. She first went into the inner room around the few maids in line to find the daughter-in-law in charge, and when she came out, her face was beaming. This Feng Lan has always regarded the people of Moxiang Courtyard as an "imaginary enemy", and when she met Caiyue this time, she naturally refused to let go. Quietly, he leaned to Caiyue's ear and began to show off: I said, your master has been hot recently, and there is no ice to use it, so you can't get it if you want to. Hey, we're different, after all, our grandfather is a descendant, and if the blood is there, we can get ice. How about it, envy, jealousy, right?

A seat of words will not make Caiyue angry. The master of his own family is now in charge of the affairs of the entire Shi family, why didn't he hear that the house began to divide ice cubes! It's so deceitful.

After Caiyue finished speaking, Ning Yun didn't react, but Shi Lingfeng's face changed. He didn't have a seizure, but when he saw the fine and dense beads of sweat on Ning Yun's smooth forehead, somewhere in his heart began to feel awkward, um. The second master felt sorry for his daughter-in-law again.

Ning Yun didn't see his face, just nodded as if he had heard something normal, and said, "Got it." But if you don't hear it, don't tell anyone about it. ”

Caiyue muttered unwillingly: "Young grandma, they are obviously bullying, you haven't nodded yet, you don't even know about this matter, they dare to hide it from you in private, they deserve to be driven out of the house with a few boards!" ”

Ning Yun raised her head and smiled: "How come I don't know!" The little ghost of the jade pendant told me a long time ago. Let them divide, we just pretend not to know. If you don't feel too hot, put up with it for a few more days, and then let you eat ice for a few days. Ning Yun tilted her head and said to Shi Lingfeng: "Does the second master feel hot?" ”

Shi Lingfeng's face suddenly turned cloudy, and he sat next to Ning Yun and smiled: "Madam just remembered me!" It's just strange, I didn't think anything at first, but as soon as I came back and saw my wife, I felt warm. Is there ice there, ma'am? It's also good to give me a cool bath. ”

Ning Yun choked on a sip of tea, and together with Caiyue, she made a big red face.

This Shi Lingfeng, why is he getting more and more cheeky.
