Shen Zhizhi woke up, refreshed, the sequelae of Xiao Qilang's weakness disappeared without a trace, the candle flame in the room flickered, it turned out that it was night, Shen Zhizhi got up and got out of bed.

Hearing the sound of rustling inside, the nurse Yang Shi, who was threading the needle and thread outside, excitedly dropped the needle and thread in her hand, bypassed the screen, rushed in, and saw that the young lady really woke up, and hurriedly stepped forward and said in surprise: "Miss, are you awake?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”

Shen Zhizhi put on embroidered shoes, got up and smiled at the nurse, and comforted: "I'm fine, by the way, how long have I been sleeping?" ”

"Miss has slept for a day and a night, and she almost didn't scare the nurse to death, if it weren't for my aunt saying that Miss was just very tired, just sleep well......" Grandma Yang said while weeping.

It turned out that after sleeping for a day and a night, no wonder she was so hungry, Shen Zhizhi touched her empty stomach, smiled bitterly, and interrupted the nurse's words: "Nurse, I'm hungry." ”

"Ah, look at the nurse's brain, I forgot that Miss didn't get a drop of water, and she starved Miss, Miss waited, and the nurse came when she went."

The nurse patted her head, wiped away her tears, and hurried out to gather food.

By the way, I called Xi'er to come over and serve the young lady to freshen up.

Shen Zhizhi saw the nurse's fiery appearance, smiled and shook her head, and suddenly remembered the prescription for Xiao Qilang, but ...... Now let's solve the problem of food and clothing.

Xi'er and a few green-clothed maids quickly came in with copper basins and toiletries.

After freshening up, the meals outside have been placed, Shen Zhizhi looked at it, her eyebrows were slightly raised, it was actually some medicinal food that nourished and nourished the body, it seemed that Lord Fu Jun had already ordered the kitchen.

After filling the stomach, the night grew thicker, and the house was lit with candles.

Shen Zhizhi stood beside the desk, grinded the ink, picked up the wolf brush, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote down a few prescriptions, all of which she prescribed were targeted.

The biggest difficulty in treating Xiao Qilang this time was to use the Nine Turns Back Heavenly Needle to stimulate his brain, and repair the body that was incidental, otherwise she would not be exhausted.

If Xiao Qilang hadn't been in a coma two months ago, he would have only needed to prescribe a few prescriptions, of course, there were a few medicinal materials needed in the recipes that were particularly precious.

With the power and financial resources of the Xiao family, it should not be difficult to find.

Putting down the brush and marking the order in which the recipe was taken, Shen Zhizhi pressed it with a paperweight and waited for the handwriting to dry.

When he looked up, he saw a tall black shadow.

Hertz......

When I looked closely, it turned out to be my husband.

"Husband, why didn't you say anything when you came back, it scared me to death." Shen Zhizhi covered her thumping heart and glared at him angrily.

Zhao Yuanhao saw such a spirited little wife, and the worry hanging in his heart finally disappeared, and suddenly he had long arms and hugged Shen Zhizhi in his arms.

"Zhizhi, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to treat Xiao Qilang so hard, I knew it would be so, I wouldn't let you save him."

Zhao Yuanhao was full of self-blame and remorse after Shen Zhizhi saved people and fainted.

There was a scorching masculine breath in his ears, Shen Zhizhi was a little uncomfortable being held by Zhao Yuanhao, and when he heard the self-blame in his words, he comforted: "Actually, it's not as strict as you think, it's just that my current level is a little reluctant to cast the Nine Turns Back to the Heavenly Acupuncture, if Xiao Qilang is not unconscious, I just need to prescribe a few prescriptions for him." "So don't blame yourself.

Zhao Yuanhao was stunned, so he ...... What does the little wife mean that Xiao Qilang is an exception?

Shen Zhizhi took advantage of Zhao Yuanhao's stunned moment, broke the big hand around her waist, pointed to a few pieces of rice paper pressed by the paperweight on the desk, and said to Zhao Yuanhao.

"These prescriptions are written, and my husband will find someone to send them quietly."

Zhao Yuanhao: "......"

………………

The weather at the end of June this year was much hotter than usual, and the entire General's Mansion was hot and dry, like a stove, and the night was very hot, and the ice cubes in the mansion were consumed very quickly.

Especially Mrs. Zhao and her little uncle, the old and the young, can't be heated.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao's 60th birthday is approaching, vegetables, fruits and meat need a lot of ice cubes to store, and the ice in the cellar is not enough at all.

No, the chief steward of the house has found her.

"Madam, the old slave took a look at the ice in the cellar, it can only support the old lady's birthday, and there will be no ice after the birthday, do you think you need to buy some?"

There were only four masters in the General's Mansion, and Shen Zhizhi didn't expect that the ice in the cellar would not be enough.

She put down the book in her hand and glanced at the dozen or so pots of ice cubes placed in the room, barely trying to lower the temperature in the room.

This year's weather has been unusually hot.

In her memory, there seemed to be such hot dog days, which usually portend a drought this year.

However, these are all managed by the imperial court, not by a woman in her inner house.

"What is the price of ice today?"

The chief steward listened to his wife ask about the price of ice, and his face suddenly looked bad, but no matter how expensive it was, he had to buy it in the house, and the eldest young master had always asked him to pay attention to whether there were shops in the capital that bought ice.

Today, there happened to be a shop selling ice, but the price was too expensive, and he couldn't be the master, so he had to come and ask his wife what he meant.

"Now the price of ice cubes is ten times the usual, there is only one shop in the entire capital that sells ice, as far as the old slave knows, this shop only started selling ice today, it is estimated that there are not many ice cubes, if it is delayed, it may be sold out...... Madame, look, why don't we hurry up and get someone to buy a batch of ice cubes and come back? ”

Shen Zhizhi's pretty face sank, he didn't expect this year's ice to be so expensive, in the past, the price of ice was about three times the price at most, but now it has been mentioned ten times, and there is only one shop to sell it.

It's a money grab!

General's Mansion, oh, no, it should be Wu'anhou Mansion now, but everyone is still used to calling it General's Mansion, Wu'anhou is just a title and has no real power, so officials outside still call Zhao Yuanhao a general.

Although the General's Mansion has many industries, it also has a large overhead, and some of the Zhao Family's army belongs to the private army, and the General's Mansion needs to pay out of its own pocket to support the army.

The price of this ice cube is so expensive, Shen Zhizhi will definitely not pay this money as a big deal, she is a little nostalgic for modern air conditioning now.

But...... Shen Zhizhi's mind moved, and an idea came to her mind, she could make zuò ice cubes and use saltpeter to make ice, so that she would not have to worry about running out of ice cubes.

"Steward, have you ever heard of a mineral called saltpeter? It's that kind of white object, the kind of fine white crystals that often grow in many cold places, such as the root of the wall, the corner of the wall, or in the cave......" Shen Zhizhi was afraid that the chief steward would not know what saltpeter was, so he explained in great detail.

The chief steward was a little confused by Madame's question, wasn't he talking about buying ice cubes just now? But he knew what Madame had described.

"The saltpeter that Madame said should be frost......"

Shen Zhizhi was overjoyed, and nodded again and again, it turned out that saltpeter here was called ground frost in ancient times, since the chief steward knew about saltpeter, then let him collect a large amount of saltpeter.

"Steward, we don't need to buy ice in the house, you go and collect a lot of saltpeter, oh no, it's ground frost, I got a secret recipe, you can use ground frost to make zuò ice cubes."

At that time, you can not only use it yourself, but you can also sell it for a sum of money.

The chief steward was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly went down to send someone to collect the frost.

Zhao Yuanhao came back and was hit by this big surprise.

He had been busy planning revenge since he came back from rebirth, forgetting the worst drought of the year, and not buying enough ice for the house in time.

When he remembered it, there was no shop selling ice cubes in the whole capital, it seemed that everyone had a lot of premonitions about this year's weather, Zhao Yuanhao was anxious, and was thinking about where to get some ice cubes, or save some ice in the house, try to meet the ice supply of his grandmother and Can'er, and he and his little wife could reduce the amount of ice cubes used.

"Zhizhi, you are really my lucky star." Zhao Yuanhao hugged Shen Zhizhi excitedly.

Not again.

Shen Zhizhi rolled her eyes very unladylikely.

Recently, my husband likes to hug her very much.

Fortunately, a large amount of ice basin was put in the room today to cool down, otherwise she would definitely be tempted to kick him away.

"Husband, it's very easy to make ice from this frost, the chief steward has collected a lot of frost today, I have made a lot of ice cubes and put them in the empty ice cellar, and I can also put an ice basin in my grandmother and Can'er's house at night to cool down and sleep well."

There is no ice basin these few nights, and Shen Zhizhi will be woken up by the heat when he sleeps, not to mention that there is a big stove next to him.

Zhao Yuanhao obviously couldn't stand such hot weather, especially when he was in the barracks during the day, the heat wave was rolling, and some of the strong soldiers also suffered from heat stroke, if it weren't for the little wife's herbal tea recipe, I don't know how many soldiers would suffer from heat stroke.

Not to mention the grandmother and younger brother in the house.

With a simple frost to make ice, not only can it be sold to rich and noble families to increase the income of the house, but it can also survive the hot summer of this year, and the soldiers in the barracks do not have to suffer so much.

"Your housekeeper, I don't worry." Zhao Yuanhao said with a smile, his eyes full of trust.

At this time, the nurse Yang came in with an ice bowl, and when she saw her aunt hugging Miss again, she had no expression.

"Uncle, miss, the kitchen has made some ice bowls."

Shen Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pushed Zhao Yuanhao away, and walked in front of the nurse, he hadn't eaten an ice bowl or ice cheese for several days, so he really thought about it.

It is estimated that the kitchen steward saw that the ice cube matter was solved, so he was willing to use ice cubes to make these non-staple foods.

Zhao Yuanhao sat next to his little wife, glanced at the little wife who was eating the ice bowl with a face full of enjoyment, and couldn't help but taste the ice bowl, and suddenly felt that the taste was more delicious than before.

After the nurse packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, Shen Zhizhi and Zhao Yuanhao chatted about selling ice cubes.

"We will sell this ice cube for three days at most, and I will present this recipe to the emperor after three days." Zhao Yuanhao heard his little wife say that he wanted to sell ice cubes, and after weighing the pros and cons, he had a flash of inspiration and felt that he couldn't make more money with this silver.

Shen Zhizhi was stunned, "Why do you want to dedicate Fang Zi to the emperor?" ”

Zhao Yuanhao's expression was solemn: "It is said that this year's weather will last until October, and there will definitely be a heavy drought at that time. ”

In the last life, because of this unprecedented drought, countless people died, and there were even great unrest.

He had been looking for a solution to the drought, but he had not been able to find it.

Shen Zhizhi was terrified, oh my God, it lasted until October...... But it's a good way to store ice to alleviate drought.

Stored water is easy to evaporate, ice cubes are different, as long as ice cellars are built to store a large amount of ice, the water problem can be solved.

She didn't even think of it.

"My husband is so powerful that he thought of such a way to alleviate the drought." Shen Zhizhi sighed, secretly happy in his heart, he didn't expect that his husband would be both civil and martial.

She's really picked up a treasure.

"If you hadn't provided such a simple method of making ice from ground frost, no matter how powerful your husband was, it would be useless." Solving the big problem in his heart, Zhao Yuanhao was a lot more relaxed, and teased with a smile in his eyes.

The two talked about the drought again, and finally Shen Zhizhi suddenly remembered that she didn't know the condition of Xiao Qilang she was treating, so she asked.

"Husband, after Xiao Qilang woke up, did he contact the Shen family?"

Zhao Yuanhao heard his little wife mention Xiao Qilang, his expression was a little strange, when he sent someone to send Fang Zi over a few days ago, the ** master asked him to pass the word that he wanted to see him, and after going to the appointment, he didn't expect to hear such an interesting thing.

The little wife didn't ask about Xiao Qilang, of course he wouldn't say it.

To put it bluntly, it's jealousy.

He knew that he was inexplicably jealous, but he just looked at Xiao Qilang uncomfortable.

Now that the little wife has mentioned Xiao Qilang, but the focus is on whether he is in contact with the Shen family, Zhao Yuanhao has a lot less jealousy in his heart.

"He won't contact the Shen family, let alone get back together with Shen Wufang, and now that Xiao Qilang woke up, except for his parents, people outside think he is still in a coma."

"How can you be so sure?" Shen Zhizhi was curious.

"Xiao Qilang already knows that we saved him." The corner of Zhao Yuanhao's eyes twitched.

Shen Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and a trace of disbelief crossed his eyes: "**Master, he ...... How is it possible to break promises? ”

"It's not leaked by the ** master, although Xiao Qilang is in a coma and can't wake up, he can hear the sound, but he and the ** master promise that they will not leak out your medical skills." Zhao Yuanhao sighed, but he didn't expect that the things they tried to hide were still known to Xiao Qilang.

It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven.

Shen Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't laugh or cry, Xiao Qilang could still hear the outside world in such a strict coma, and the one in 10,000 chance was actually touched by her.

I can't say how lucky it is.

"Shen Wufang is afraid that stealing chickens and rice this time will not be successful, Zhizhi, you don't know, Xiao Qilang said that she actually told herself about her plan in front of him, completely exposing her vicious nature." Thinking of the guard's report, Zhao Yuanhao was very speechless.

This Shen Wufang no matter in his past life or present life, he doesn't have a long brain in doing things.

Shen Zhizhi: "......"

Shen Wufang's ability to die is not ordinarily strong.

Shen Wufang, who was confined by the eldest lady who was remembered by the two couples, sneaked out of the Shen family and conspired with the four princes to do a big thing.
