As soon as he heard that Jia Baoyu was going to buy ice cubes to be filial to his elders, the old man was immediately relieved.

It's just that I'm worried: "The cellar in the small home is small, and there is not much ice stored in it, so it is okay to use it for a small business, but if it is to be used by the nobles of your house, I am afraid it will ......not be enough."

Jia Baoyu waved his hand, "It's okay, as much as you want." In this way, you send a cart of ice cubes to the Earl of Jingyuan Mansion on Ningrong Street every hour, and I will give you a reward of ten taels of silver for each car, what does the old man think? ”

The old man's heart suddenly trembled.

Ten taels......

You must know that his old husband and wife work hard to sell soup under the sun every day, and they can only earn two or three taels of silver.

It is also necessary to guard against the exploitation and extortion of the tyrants on the streets.

If you only sell ice cubes, you can sell ten taels in one car, which is naturally much better than selling soup!

"That, although there is not much ice in the small family, but the small one knows that many families have stored ice cubes for business in the same year, if the adults agree, the small ones can send ice to the adults' mansions with them, and keep them so that the adults' mansions will not have to worry about no ice ......for the whole June."

The old man's voice was a little excited.

Ten taels a day, three hundred taels a month, and you don't need any capital to make a fortune. I knew that I should have dug up the cellar a little bigger last year and saved more ice cubes, so that the few hundred taels of silver could be earned on my own!

But, hmph, those people don't know nobles either, I can buy them from them, and then sell them, and I can make a lot of money......

Jia Baoyu couldn't see some of the old man's careful thoughts, but he didn't mind, he just said: "As long as the ice cubes are clean and can't be turned into water when they are transported to the Earl's Palace, I don't care where you get it from, anyway, a car of ten taels, you just send a few cars a day, and it is still at this price." ”

For Jiafu, in summer, you can eat chilled fruits, drink chilled drinks, and even use them to blow a cool breeze, and spending hundreds of taels of silver is nothing at all.

In previous years, Jia's mother went out at will to escape the summer, how big was the movement, and which time did she not spend thousands of silver?

But that's this year.

He decided to dig a large ice cellar in the Earl's Court this winter, and ask someone to bring some fine ice from the north to store it, so that next year there would be no need to worry about running out of ice.

Well, the construction of the ice cellar should also be a technical job, and when the time comes, you will have to find someone to ask how to get it. Don't get up to the time, the ice cubes will turn into water, and it will be a joke.

……

After stopping at the Great Prince's Mansion for half a day and taking care of internal and external affairs, Jia Baoyu returned to Ningrong Street.

didn't go back home directly, but went to the Jingshi Health Hall.

When Gu Dingchen and everyone were knocking down the stone tablet on the left side of the gate, Jia Baoyu walked over with some doubts.

"What is this?"

Gu Dingchen bowed to Jia Baoyu first, and then said: "Lord Hui, this stone tablet is engraved with the name of the thief, and it is really not suitable to stand in front of the door." ”

Jia Baoyu immediately remembered that indeed, Wei Xiaoxiao also donated silver that day, and her name was naturally on the top.

Nothing to say.

In the age of democracy, it is necessary to circumvent it, let alone in the era of undemocracy.

Leaving an assassin's name at the gates is a scourge sooner or later.

Because he said: "There is no need to overthrow, who donated how much silver is obvious to all, and there is nothing to hide." Just remove the name of the Assassin from the stele and leave it blank. ”

Gu Dingchen hesitated: "However, when others ask about it in the future, it is inevitable that the story will be recalled......"

"Facts are facts, is there no such thing as concealment? If there is no historian's roots, how can he educate the thousands of schoolchildren in the hall? ”

When Gu Dingchen heard this, his face was moved, and he bowed: "I have been taught below." ”

Then he turned around and ordered everyone to relocate the stone tablet into it, and only ordered someone to hire an engraver to remove the font name of "Wei Xiaoxiao Girl".

When she came to the women's house, Du Qiuniang said one more thing to Jia Baoyu.

It was probably because the laughing building did not catch important people, so those people under Emperor Jingtai arrested people everywhere in Beijing.

As long as there is suspicion, they will be arrested.

Because Yixiaolou has taken root in the capital for many years, some people suspect that the major Qinglou in the capital has something to do with Yixiaolou, so they take care of the Qinglou such as Qianjin Pavilion.

The main characters are checked one by one.

Qianjin Pavilion is just a green building with a deep background, and those with a weak foundation are afraid of it.

It just so happened that because Du Qiuniang had met the Oiran of various buildings before, she invited them to teach students poems and songs in the health hall in her spare time, so she was somewhat implicated.

And because they all knew that Du Qiuniang was Jia Baoyu's woman, they begged her.

Of course, Du Qiuniang is so smart, she naturally won't use Jia Baoyu's affection for her indiscriminately and promise anything. She just told Jia Baoyu about the situation and let him know.

Jia Baoyu has nothing to say about this.

Don't look at the Qinglou as just a place where you can't go on the stage, but those oirans, each of them knows many dignitaries.

Even, a lot of them have human feelings.

Therefore, if the Qinglou is moved, it will definitely offend people on a large scale indirectly.

If the so-called heaven wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy.

Catch it, just grab it......

If you really have to wait until everyone in the world is dissatisfied with a person, even if he is the emperor, there will be no good end.

This is a good thing for Jia Baoyu.

......

The weather in May is indeed very hot.

It was almost dusk, the residual heat on the ground had not yet dissipated, and there was still a restless breath in the air.

Jia Baoyu stepped into the Grand View Garden from the back door, followed the path, and went to the Wuyuan Garden.

I originally wanted to go into the Wuyuan Garden and steal incense and jade like those few times, but I remembered the words that Baochai had solemnly warned him several times, so I just did.

Baochai is a very well-behaved girl and attaches great importance to face. If the news of him often turning over the yard was seen and spread, she would not be able to stand it.

Therefore, for the sake of the beauty, Jia Baoyu still chose to go to the main gate.

In fact, it's okay to go to the main gate, others know that Jia Baoyu is close to the sisters at home, although Baochai is a relative, but also a close cousin, Jia Baoyu came to visit Baochai, it is a normal thing.

Without anyone paying special attention, Jia Baoyu came directly to Baochai's room.

"Second master, our girl is embroidering in the gazebo in the backyard, you go there to find her."

The childish voice of the maid made Jia Baoyu look out the window,

Sure enough, I saw a quiet beauty sitting in the gazebo in the backyard.

He followed the fairy trail into the backyard and came to the gazebo.

But it was Baochai sitting here quietly embroidering.

Oh, as if there was a small mosquito and fly thing interfering, she picked up a piece of Buddha dust placed next to her and waved it lightly to drive it away.

At the same time, I also saw Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu stepped forward, took the Buddha dust in her hand, looked at it, and said, "Why don't you ask the little maids to stay here?" ”

"They were all playful and lazy, and besides, I wanted to be quiet, so I didn't call them."

Baochai smiled faintly, and saw that Jia Baoyu seemed to want to sit, so he got up and made a position to come out.

Jia Baoyu sat down next to her and looked at her.

Such a beautiful person, such a state of mind, is indeed admirable.

Although Baochai has very high requirements for himself, he never does to others.

Like this little thing. There are many plants and trees in the garden, mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants flourish in summer, and it is very common for Baochai to call a little maid to help drive mosquitoes and ants if you want to enjoy the cool in the courtyard.

But she didn't want to work. said that she likes to be quiet, but Jia Baoyu doesn't know that she doesn't like to detain the maids and work around.

This is very different from Wang Xifeng.

Even, very different from him.

But compared to him, it's probably not comparable. He is a man, and he likes to keep the little maid by his side, which is also common.

Perhaps, you can buy some little boys and put them next to Baochai, cough cough cough......

"What do you see?"

Baochai lowered her head and stabbed two needles, looked up and saw Jia Baoyu staring at her in a daze, and suddenly felt a touch of shame.

Jia Baoyu came back to her senses at this time, and she didn't dare to tell her the bizarre thoughts that had just flashed, but looked at the embroidered thing in her hand.

"Does Sister Bao like peony flowers?"

Baochai nodded, "I like its luxury and grace, delicate but not charming." ”

Suddenly, he looked at Jia Baoyu and asked, "What kind of flowers do you like?" ”

"Me?"

Jia Baoyu pointed to himself, then looked at Baochai, and said with a grin: "All the flowers are what I like." ”

Baochai's relatively thin eyebrows suddenly frowned, glanced at Jia Baoyu, and didn't continue.
