Jia Cong was speechless for a while......

Although I have long known the mother-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, all those who have a bit of identity are not good at stubble, and they are greedy for money one by one, but they didn't expect that there would be such a hand, and they were so bold and reckless for the sake of silver.

If you are so greedy, aren't you afraid of being knocked on a stick?

Sure enough, when I entered the house, a sultry heat hit me, and I couldn't stay at all.

The most pitiful thing is that there is no well in the yard, even if you want to take a cold shower, you have to work together to carry the water by the nurse and the little maid.

I knew this, I couldn't call Wangcai to go before, this kid is a good half-big laborer, at least the water is more reliable than the nurse and the little maid.

I took a stool and sat under the eaves at random, feeling the rolling heat wave of midsummer, which was not an ordinary hardship.

His body is fine, he has been able to barely block the external heat and not enter his body, and he doesn't even have a few drops of sweat until now.

swept his eyes at the nurse and the little maid with unhealthy and ruddy faces, I am afraid that they can't stand the heat stroke, and it will be troublesome.

It's not good for him to go to the big kitchen to fetch water, no matter how you say it's a big house, if you fetch water in person, it's just a pit of the nurse and the little maid into the fire, forget it.

Hey, by the way, if you don't have ice, you can find a way to make it yourself.

"Mother Li, the ice in the house is all stored in winter, so isn't it made temporarily?"

Jia Cong asked directly, he was indeed a little curious about this.

The method of making ice with nitrate has existed since ancient times, and it is also recorded in many miscellaneous books, so it is not a great secret.

It is said that a wealthy family like Rongguo Mansion will collect ice from the frozen river every winter and store it, and take it out to cool off in the hot summer.

The ice example mentioned before is the ice cube that Jia Cong, a big housemate, deserves according to the rules, but he doesn't want to ask Wang Shanbao's family to be greedy for ink.

"Can ice also be made, the third master is afraid that he is faint from the heat, right?"

The nurse Li couldn't help but shake her head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "I know that the third master is difficult, but this is the case in previous years, if you really feel bad, then stay in the main room for a while, and it will be cool when it gets dark!" ”

Tut......

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little girl's eyes, she obviously wanted to follow her to the main room to enjoy the coolness brought by the ice cubes, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Mother Li, is there any saltpeter in the house?"

Jia Cong was too lazy to explain, and said with a smile: "It's the saltpeter used to make firecrackers!" ”

"Yes, there is already a workshop for artillery battles in the house, and there are many saltpeters!"

Li didn't know why Jia Cong was asking this, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Third Master, do you need anything?" ”

In her eyes, although Jia Cong is not very old, he is very different from the past, and he has more ideas and majesty.

That's right, it's the majesty of your son!

Although she is the son of Rongguofu, she is also said to be 'well-informed', but if she wants her to tell the reason for the changes in Jia Cong, she can only pull on reading.

Since the third master Cong went to the family school, the changes in his body have gradually increased.

But if she wants to say it specifically, she can't tell the reason, but the life of the third master has become better, and she is also valued by the eldest master and his wife, which is the best change in her eyes.

Therefore, unconsciously, the Li family has a little more respect for Shang Jia Cong.

"Then get a few pounds of saltpeter!"

Jia Cong smiled slightly and teased: "There is a book saying that ice is made with nitrate, let me try to see if it's true!" ”

"Saltpeter can still make ice?"

Confused, Li felt that she had misheard, she had never seen or heard such a statement.

"I'm going to get saltpeter!"

The little maid sparrow reacted much faster than Li's, and with a whoosh, she had already run out of the courtyard, and there was a silver bell-like laughter in the distance.

"Don't rush to ask, wait until I try!"

Waving his hand, Jia Cong stopped the nurse from continuing to ask, intending to speak with facts.

Not long after, the little maid came back panting and carrying a few catties of saltpeter, looking at her sweaty and energetic appearance, it was obvious that the previous state of malaise was idle.

When they saw the basin with saltpeter, slowly exuding a breath of cold air, and the water surface gradually condensed into ice chips, the mouths of Li and Lingque couldn't close.

Saltpeter, unexpectedly, can really make ice!

As the air conditioning filled the whole room, the originally hot heat dissipated, and it was indescribably cool and comfortable.

"Third Young Master, this is the doorway to get money, you must not leak it!"

After the shock, Li Shi reminded with excitement on his face: "This time, we have to keep the secret, and we can't ask others to take it!" ”

Obviously, she is still haunted by the original flower dew.

"Mama Li, if you have an idea, deal with it yourself!"

Jia Cong didn't have much interest in this, and reminded: "Making money is making money, you can't miss the sparrow!" ”

Ignoring the little girl's red eyes, she said slowly: "You must know that it is suitable, it is not a secret to make ice with nitrate, it is recorded in the book, don't take the saltpeter from the firecracker workshop in the house too often!" ”

turned around and stopped talking nonsense, and beckoned to the little maid sparrow: "Sparrow, today's miscellaneous book hasn't started reading aloud!" ”

The little maid answered, hurriedly took out a miscellaneous book from the shelf, and stayed in the cool room to read it aloud, indescribably leisurely.

The nurse Li didn't dare to disturb, and quietly went out to make money.

……

has been in the clan for more than half a year, whether it is Mr. Jia Dairu, who is perfunctory in teaching, or a classmate who is seriously polarized, they all know that the third master of the Rongguo Mansion has recognized all the words on the three-character scripture.

This is not a genius, there are early enlightenments, and they have already read enlightenment readings such as the "Three Character Classic" before entering the ethnic school, and it is nothing to know a few more commonly used words.

What Jia Cong needs is such a beautiful misunderstanding.

It took him almost half a month, and he had already got the first volume of children's books out, mainly familiar simple stories such as Kong Rong making pears and Sima Guang smashing the cylinder.

Of course, the storybook that Jia Cong came up with can't be so simple.

There is nothing to say about the story of Kong Rong letting Li and Sima Guang smash the cylinder, and it is not easy to add the content of the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, but the story of Ganluo's twelve-year-old appearance can be written more excitingly and tortuously, and at the same time show a little sensitivity to politics.

After all, he is a 'child of a family', and the harvest of simply writing stories to make money is limited, and he still needs to match his social status and form a certain influence.

At the same time, he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to publish books to form a book club, and pull out the self-motivated classmates of the family studies to form a self-formed department.

After staying in the clan study for more than half a year, he became more and more disdainful of Mr. Jia Dairu's perfunctory teaching mode, which was simply a pit for the students of the clan studies.

Anyway, he has already enlightened, so he doesn't need to continue to pretend, so he simply comes out to form a book club and helps his self-motivated classmates to give it a try in the imperial examination, instead of being completely dragged out in the family studies......
