Chapter 58: Splitting the Ice
On this day, Ning Yun came back from the courtyard of the old ancestor, and as soon as she entered the house, she realized that something was wrong. Caiyue came over happily, and while waiting for Ning Yun to clean her hands and change clothes, she said: "Young grandma, it's hot outside, it's cool in the house now, look at it, such a big piece of ice!" ”
Ning Yun glanced at the extra ice cubes in the corner of the room and asked her, "Where did it come from?" ”
"I definitely didn't get it from the cellar in the house." Caiyue first complained, and then said with a smile: "It's the second master." The second master felt sorry for the young grandmother, afraid that you would be hot, so he bought it from outside. Not only these, but there are a lot of them outside, enough for a carriage, not to mention using this summer, even if you save it until next year, it is enough. After a pause, Caiyue added: "The second master is really good to the young grandmother!" ”
Ning Yun was still like that when she heard it, she was not angry. Caiyue sighed secretly in her heart: This really responds to that sentence, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry! Although the young grandmother is now liked by the ancestors, her status in this mansion is still too unstable, so she has to give birth to a little young master quickly......
Caiyue wanted to find a way to persuade a few more words, but Yuchai opened the curtain and came in and replied, "Young grandma." Miss Ning Jiabiao sent someone to deliver something, and the person said let's find a place to put it quickly, otherwise the weather is so hot, it should be melted. He also said that he would send some over after this month, so that the young grandmother could only use it. ”
When Caiyue heard this, she was even happier: "But the ice sent?" ”
Yuchai nodded.
"It's no wonder that the young grandmother said that she would let us eat ice as rice. The slave is in a hurry, but she forgot about Miss Biao here. This is going to be good, we just use ice as water, and we can't run out. ”
The Ning family wanted to send ice, which Ning Yun had already guessed. I think that when I was in the Ning family, I sent things to Bai Xiaochu every summer, and this ice was the most important thing. So now Ning Yun is not worried that Bai Xiaochu can't think of "sending back"; Moreover, the draft that was stranded a while ago has finally been decided, and Bai Xiaochu doesn't have to worry about pretending to be Ning Yun in the Ning family, even if she is grateful to Ning Yun for her help during this time, she will give this ice.
What Shi Lingfeng bought, plus the Bai Xiaochu of the Ning family, added up to more than the Shi family's storage in the cellar last winter.
Ning Yun thought for a while and instructed Caiyue and Yuchai: "Go and send the two carts of ice to the cellar in the mansion." Tell the daughter-in-law of the Qian family, and say that she will borrow a place to put it first. ”
Ning Yun had already calculated this day, and now that the ice was available, it was up to the other courtyards to react. It's just like "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed".
The next day, after lunch, it was even hotter, and I sat in the room for a while, as if I were in a steamer. These individuals of the historian are all pampered and accustomed to it, how can they have suffered like this. In previous years, even if the ice was not enough, there was still a little bit of ice in each yard, and it was always enough to save it, so there was no need to suffer so much. But this year, why is there no shadow!
Soon, someone made a fuss.
If you want to talk about the historian, now you are qualified to have the courage to make trouble, except for Shi Linghuan, it is Shi Lingfang. Shi Linghuan was hung on the tip of his heart by his mother, and Bing had already secretly received it. But what about Shi Lingfang? I didn't get it! It's worth it. So he directly led the maid to the housekeeper's daughter-in-law.
How dare the daughter-in-law of the Qian family, who is in charge, make trouble with her master, but she doesn't hide it and refuse to give it, but she really doesn't have it! She wanted to give the third lady ice, but the ice in the cellar, except for the one sent to the courtyard of the old ancestor, the study of Master Shi and the courtyard of Shi Linghuan, the rest was sent to the other dukes' mansions by the head of the Fan four family. Now in the cellar, except for the second young grandmother who is temporarily stored here, there is only the water that has melted away. Where can I get it for Miss Three? The ice of the second young grandmother is not in the public, but in other people's own private things, and she is even more afraid to move.
was in a dilemma, Shi Lingfang had already led the maid into the cellar. This look is even more remarkable. This ice is piled up into a mountain, and they even say that they don't have it, and they don't use it for themselves! What is this? It's clear that you're bullying yourself. No wonder they all said in private that her mother doesn't care about her home now, and this second sister-in-law began to bully her without her mother's support! That's really the case.
Shi Lingfang's temper "swished" came up, and she didn't listen to the explanation of the daughter-in-law of the Qian family, and went to the courtyard of the ancestor who cried. shouted straight in his mouth: "The second sister-in-law went too far, and she took away the power of her mother, and she began to bully me." Bullying me without my mother's support, in the summer, don't give me ice, this is going to heat me to death. Grandmother, you're going to call the shots for me! ”
Shi Lingfang and her party came to Mrs. Shi, and before they started to cry, they felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.
It was a coincidence that this old man Shi Rongyuan was talking back in front of the old ancestor. I don't know what I said, the old ancestor's face pulled the elder.
It turned out that it was nothing else, but it was also for this ice business.
Shi Rongyuan's study is naturally not short of ice. It's just that he hasn't rested in the study these days. Mrs. Shi is not here, no one cares about him, doesn't he have to run to the third aunt. It was a happy and exciting thing, but he was very unhappy. Why? The reason is that the third aunt is too hot. When these two people went to bed, they were sweaty and wet, which directly affected the happy life of the two people.
Therefore, Shi Rongyuan was very unhappy. Before this, the Shi family had always kept ice, even if it was less, it never saved the aunt's yard, what happened this year? Isn't it that the second daughter-in-law of Feng is not well managed?
Shi Rongyuan sued the ancestor here, and he naturally didn't dare to say that there was no ice in his aunt's yard to relieve the heat, which affected his own performance. Instead, he played a clever trick and said that there was too little ice stored at home, and it didn't seem to be enough. Now that the old lady is back, is it hot? Is it enough? Do you want to add some more silver this winter?
Mrs. Shi is not a fool. Besides, this cowardly son came out of his belly, what else could she not know what he was thinking? So the face sank at the moment. Moreover, during this time, there were some complaints everywhere in the family, and she didn't hear about it.
It just so happened that Shi Lingfang lit this matter on fire today.
Shi Lingfang and her father Shi Rongyuan, one in the open and the other in the dark, are accusing Feng's second daughter-in-law of not treating this family well. Mrs. Shi is an understanding person. didn't say anything at the moment, only asked people to call the second young grandmother. Since the trouble has started, I simply figured things out, so that I can find out the stirrgers behind the scenes.
Ning Yun had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as she got the news, she drank another bowl of ice porridge, and then came to the old lady's yard unhurriedly.
As soon as she entered the door, Shi Lingfang's cannon battle was ignited, and she cried when she pointed at Ning Yun, saying that Ning Yun bullied her, but she didn't give her ice because she wanted to heat her to death.
Ning Yun pretended to be ignorant and expressed her confusion: "The third sister is afraid that she has misunderstood." I didn't make the decision to divide the ice. I guess my mother ordered me to do it before I was injured, so I didn't know about it. My sister doesn't have it in her yard, and I don't have it in my yard either. ”
Shi Lingfang suddenly felt that she had grabbed Ning Yun's pigtails, and immediately said: "You are talking nonsense, you obviously have it in your yard, how can you not have it!" I've heard the maids say that the ice in your yard is more than that in Brother Huan's yard, so you must be full of money. ”
As soon as he said this, except for Mrs. Shi, the faces of the others were not good. Especially Shi Rongyuan, whose face was even more pulled, also questioned Ning Yun: "Daughter-in-law Feng, it's not good for you to do this." Do you know how expensive ice is in the market today? Last winter, it really cost a lot of money to save this ice, although our historian is also rich, but it is not a big stroke, and this money is arbitrary, all of which your mother saved from many places, and now, the Duke's Mansion of other countries has saved this expense, what is our family, it is just to let everyone escape the heat in the summer, you do this, it is too ......"
Before he finished speaking, he felt that Old Madam Shi's cold eyes swept towards him, so frightened that he suddenly shrank his shoulders, and the voice behind him became smaller and smaller, and he simply swallowed his stomach.
Ning Yun laughed first in her heart, and then flashed a pair of "aggrieved" big eyes, and said: "Father's words are serious, how dare a daughter-in-law be full of money." The ice used in the daughter-in-law's yard was sent by the daughter-in-law's cousin from the Ning family. It was not taken from the public. If you don't believe it, the father can ask the daughter-in-law in charge of the affairs and you will know. ”
The daughter-in-law of the Qian family had already followed Shi Lingfang, and hurriedly knelt down and replied, saying, "Go back to the ancestors, go back to the master." The second young grandmother is right. This year, the ice stored in the house was only distributed to the ancestral courtyard, as well as the master's study, and then the courtyard of the good master, and there was no left. She was afraid that Shi Lingfang would make nonsense out of nothing and let herself get into trouble, so she hurriedly added: "The ones that are put in the cellar now were all put there by the second young grandmother yesterday, just let the slave take care of it." The second young grandmother also ordered, saying that if the ice in the house is not enough, just take it and use it. Minion...... This is the private property of the second young grandmother, how dare the slave move it......"
When Shi Rongyuan heard this, his old face suddenly turned red, and he had to "cough dryly" twice, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Ning Yun said: "My daughter-in-law really doesn't know if the third sister has it in the yard." Originally, this matter of ice did not go through the hands of the daughter-in-law, and since it was the mother's previous decision, the daughter-in-law was not good at interfering again, so she didn't ask again. ”
When Shi Shi Lingfang heard this, she had nowhere to pull her pigtails, so she immediately turned the wind and accused Ning Yun: "Second sister-in-law is not a good sister-in-law, since you have so many ice cubes in your hand, do you have one in my yard, why don't you send me some!" Is my mother gone, you have to see me die of heat! ”
"Oh, the third sister misunderstood me. My sister-in-law heard from the people in the courtyard of the third brother that there are all the sisters-in-law. So my sister-in-law thought that the third sister had it. After the cousin of the Ning family sent the ice, I only sent some to the yard of the fourth sister and the fourth brother, thinking that the third sister was not lacking, so I didn't send it. If I had known this, I should have prepared some more for my third sister! Ning Yun turned her head and said to Shi Rongyuan: "Auntie, daughter-in-law also sent it, and I let the maids send it away at noon, and now I'm afraid I have already received it."
