No wonder the cost of the house is skyrocketing in winter! She's burning charcoal here alone.

You must know that Aunt Han's monthly silver is only five taels of silver, so compared to this, her silver is only enough to buy a pound of silver silk charcoal......

Shen Yuntang took a deep breath, "I don't want to burn silver charcoal here in the future, change it to use red charcoal like my sisters." ”

Wing Chun and Bai Mei were shocked when they heard this, "Lord Shizi, no!" ”

"Why can't I use it, my sisters in the family can use red charcoal, why can't I use it!"

She is a "man" now, and her life is even more delicate than that of a girl, which is too unusual.

"It's not the slaves and maids who stop you, it's that you're not in good health, you can't use this red charcoal, if your body is burned for such a trivial matter, who else can this Hou Mansion count on in the future." Wing Chun is bitter.

But Shen Yuntang was a little stubborn, "You take the red charcoal first, I'll take a look at it for half a day, if you can't hold on, then change it back." ”

Wing Chun knew that his master was determined and could only do so.

As a result, it didn't take half a day, Shen Yuntang couldn't stand it anymore, and he couldn't cough.

Wing Chun hurriedly asked someone to remove the charcoal basin and replace it with a charcoal basin with silver silk charcoal.

Shen Yuntang was lying on the rose chair depressed.

Her body is too broken, so squeamish, she can't stand such a red charcoal, it's too embarrassing.

In fact, although the original voice is under great mental pressure, her clothing, food, housing and transportation are all pampered, and the best things in the Yongxing Hou Mansion are used on her.

Pampered and raised, of course, I can't stand this smoke.

Shen Yuntang looked at the charcoal basin not far away and meditated.

In fact, the fundamental reason why she can't use red charcoal is that the smoke is large, and if she doesn't have these smokes, it's no problem to use it.

Thinking so in his mind, Shen Yuntang might as well say it out of his mouth.

Wing Chun, who was waiting on the side, smiled, "Lord Shizi, that red charcoal has no smoke, isn't it silver charcoal!" ”

Shen Yuntang glared at her, but then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

If you want to make the charcoal smokeless, you can't channel the smoke produced by the charcoal basin, as long as the smoke is out, isn't it?

At that time, it doesn't matter if you use black charcoal, but you can save a lot of money.

And in this way, it is not easy to make people suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning or respiratory diseases.

Shen Yuntang hurriedly got up and went to the desk, Wing Chun saw that she was panicked, and she didn't know what was wrong.

After Shen Yuntang sat down, he hurriedly instructed Wing Chun, "Wing Chun, you go and help me invite Uncle Nie here, just say that I have something urgent to find him." ”

"Huh? Hey, okay, slave and maid are going. ”

When the old housekeeper Nie Wei arrived, the drawings in Shen Yuntang's hand happened to be drawn.

The housekeeper has often been to the study of the prince in the past two days, and now he is already familiar with it.

"The prince has something to order."

Shen Yuntang stood up and handed the drawings to the housekeeper Nie Wei to see.

"Uncle Nie, take a look at this."

Shen Yuntang himself has painting skills, and inherited this body, and today's fine brushwork is delicate and realistic.

This is a drawing of a special chimney, with a long chimney on the charcoal basin, which can export the smoke, and there are three views divided into it, if you have been making charcoal pots for many years or a blacksmith, I am afraid you can understand one or two.

The old housekeeper was also experienced, he looked down at the things drawn on the paper in his hand, and said in surprise: "Lord Shizi, this is a charcoal basin?" ”

Shen Yuntang smiled, "Uncle Nie's eyesight is really good. ”

"But what's this weird thing up there?"

Shen Yuntang patiently explained to him.

After listening to Shen Yuntang's words, the old housekeeper's eyes widened in surprise, "Is the prince sure that there is such a miraculous effect?" ”

Shen Yuntang didn't give him a packing ticket, but just smiled and said, "Uncle Nie, you find a trusted old blacksmith to try a few first, if it happens, maybe our house will be able to have such a business." ”

The old housekeeper's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put the drawings into his sleeve pocket like a treasure, and said happily: "Don't worry, this matter will be handed over to the old slave." ”

The old butler went out of the study door and wiped his nose, his gray sleeves with some black ash.

This is inhaled with charcoal for a long time, if the drawing of the prince can really be made, it will not only benefit the people, but also make the Hou Mansion earn some windfalls.

The thought of being able to stay in a warm room without inhaling the thick black smoke made the old butler full of energy.

When the old housekeeper went out, he happened to be bumped into by Baimei who came in.

Bai Mei greeted the old housekeeper, but he didn't know what he was happy about, and he didn't see her.

Entering the house, Bai Mei asked her sister.

"Uncle Nie has encountered something good, I didn't even see him when I greeted him."

Wing Chun shook his head and said softly: "I don't know, I just know that it seems that the prince told him to do something." ”

Bai Mei covered her mouth and smiled, "When did our prince have this ability, and he ordered one thing to make people happy like this." ”

"Shut up and say less!"

Shen Yuntang finished drawing the drawings, and was thinking about how to earn some extra money for the Hou Mansion.

Her idea soon fell to the jade shop in the Hou Mansion Gongzhong.

She opened the account books of the jade shop sent by the old butler and studied them one by one.

When she finished accounting the account books in person, she found that after a year, the jade shop not only did not make a penny, but also lost 500 taels......

Now it's just struggling to hold on.

The jade shop is located on Honghua Street in Yanjing, which is the most lively street in Yanjing City.

Three or five years ago, the jade shop could still make a profit of more than 1,000 taels a year, but in the past two years, two more jade shops have opened nearby, and the business of Yongxing Houfu has become deserted.

The master of jewelry in the shop left two because of the business difference, one of which was poached by another family, and now, if there is only one jewelry master left in a large shop.

Shen Yuntang felt that it was necessary for him to go and see this jade shop for himself.

The sisters' winter clothes still depend on it!

Shen Yuntang was pondering, and a small servant in the front yard hurriedly came to report that the holy decree had arrived.

When Shen Yuntang heard this, he was overjoyed, and guessed that it was Mrs. Zhenguo who did it.

She didn't dare to slack off, so she changed into a grand python robe and rushed to the front yard.

In the flower hall in the front yard stood the attendants from the palace.

The eunuch led by the inner chamberlain was quite young, about thirty years old, with slender eyebrows and eyes, and a slightly fat figure.

"The miscellaneous family has saluted Xiao Shizi."

Someone around Shen Yuntang immediately reminded her that this was the high father-in-law in the palace and the person next to the emperor.

Shen Yuntang raised his hand to return the salute, "Grandpa Gao is polite." ”

Shen Yuntang exchanged a few words with Father-in-law Gao, and the old lady and several young ladies in the house rushed over.

"Now that everyone is together, let's announce the decree of the miscellaneous family!"

Everyone in the Yongxing Hou Mansion, led by the old lady and Shen Yuntang, all lifted up their clothes and knelt on the cushion.

Gao Gonggong's shrill voice sounded in the flower hall of the Hou Mansion.

When the decree was read, everyone in the flower hall was full of joy.

Shen Yuntang got up and took the decree with both hands, and the old lady hurriedly asked the big maid beside her to take the reward silver and give it to the attendants who announced the decree.

Gao Gonggong did not refuse, he smiled and congratulated, "Xiao Shizi, no, it should be called Hou Ye now." Master Hou, the miscellaneous family is here to congratulate you first. ”

Shen Yuntang personally sent the attendants who announced the decree to the door, and when she looked back and saw the high courtyard of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, she finally breathed a sigh of relief this time.

Fortunately, she lived up to this mansion and bravely took the first step to keep the Shen family's title, official position, and Danshu iron coupon.

From today on, she is no longer the only seedling of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, but the real Yongxing Marquis, the imperial historian who is in charge of the entire Yushi Tai of Dayan!
