"Our Wang family has farmland and Zhuangzi everywhere, the most is in the capital, there are ten Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and there are ten Zhuangzi in the east and west of Beijing, and each farmer has different stewards, and there are teahouses opened by our family in the east and south of Beijing. The silver money is stored in Xingji Qianzhuang and Yunmeng Qianzhuang, so that when the past was released, there were Zhuangzi in Yunmeng and Fuzhou, and our hometown in Nanjing also had an ancestral house. ”

Ying Shu listened to Elder Zhang tell her about the glorious past of these families, and her eyelids sank unconsciously.

It's really a big business, a corrupt, corrupt and extravagant life.

Ying Shu forcibly supported her eyelids to listen, but she heard it in a fog, and the old lady Wang on the side glanced at Ying Shu, "Listen well, if you want to be a housekeeper, how can you not even know such a thing?" ”

Ying Shu slandered: "It's not that I took the initiative to take the housekeeper!"

Just when she was feeling aggrieved, Yingshu's head was hit hard by Mrs. Wang, "Listen well." ”

Housekeeping is not an easy job, Ying Shu thought that she could do it by learning mathematics and figuring out the abacus, but until she really took over, she didn't know how difficult it was.

Not to mention that the history of the Wang family's fortune alone is enough to listen to for several days, and then the promotion history of the Wang family's father, how is Mrs. Liu's maiden family, and how are the officials of the DPRK and China, Ying Shu just thinks that the slightly better families in the capital of Fanping have been checked by the three generations of household registration.

Of course, in the end she didn't remember much either.

However, through these general historical phenomena, the law is derived: "If you want to gain a foothold in the officialdom of the capital, there is really nothing more reliable than through marriage." ”

It's like, in the past, even if Wang Ying was valued by Emperor Li Ming, after all, his official position was not high, and he occasionally had to find a release from time to time. Even when he had just crossed over, he encountered a water bandit on the road at home, of course, the water bandit was faked by Wang Zhen, the inner supervisor of the palace, and the actual reason was the political and political struggle. But Wang Ying still didn't dare to do anything, so she could only hold her breath and pretend to be her grandson or something.

But with the eldest sister marrying and becoming the princess of Cheng, the entire Wang family has become one of the best families, and even the royal family has to give some face. In this way, even if Father Wang has made enemies in the court, at least on the surface, the life of the Wang family is much richer than before.

Then she got a glimpse of the path she might take in the future, and was promised to be married to a family that was a good match, adding a stable bargaining chip for the family to maintain its prosperity and wealth.

"Now, I know how difficult it is for your eldest lady." Old Mrs. Wang looked at Yingshu and asked.

Ying Shu nodded frantically, "Got it." With so many twists and turns, I thought that the housekeeper director would be troublesome enough, and coupled with the sophistication of the world, my mother was naturally busy. The granddaughter thinks that it is not easy for the mother to not make mistakes in these things outside the world, and if there are some mistakes in the family, only our family knows about it, and it is nothing. ”

Old Madam Wang nodded with satisfaction: "You have finally grown up and can be considerate of your mother." ”

Ying Shu was silent, waiting for Mrs. Wang's interrogation.

"Okay, tomorrow's house will be officially handed over to you. Early tomorrow morning, the housekeepers and mothers-in-law from all over the world will come to see you. Mrs. Wang fanned her fan and complained, "Why is it so hot this summer?" It's heating people up. ”

Yingshu agrees with this: "Isn't what grandmother said? It wasn't so hot last year, the ice didn't work in the house, and I was dizzy from the heat all day, and I couldn't learn so many things! ”

Old Lady Wang glanced at Yingshu with disgusted eyes: "You can be lazy with anything, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Then he asked: "The Portuguese and grape ice you made a few days ago are just right for the mouth, and they are refreshing to eat, but they can drive away the heat of the summer, and the sour plum soup is sweet and greasy, and I don't bother to drink it." Go get me some ice and ice. ”

Ying Shu put on a reluctant look, and when the ice drink was ready for Mrs. Wang to drink, Mrs. Wang was full of praise, and actually drank three bowls in a row.

Ying Shu, who was scared, had to stop Mrs. Wang, "Grandmother, you can't drink anymore, the doctor said that you have a bad stomach, if you drink too much, you will feel unwell when you turn around." ”

Mrs. Wang looked at her angrily and said, "Then you want me to die of heat?" It's okay, it's hot today, and it will be fine in a few days. ”

However, the summer of the eighth year of Orthodoxy seems to be exceptionally hot.

Far from dissipating the heat, the heat seems to have worsened.

Wind wheel ice cubes or something in the face of the strong temperature is useless, several places near the capital are extremely hot, whether it is the princes and nobles or the common people are bitter, unbearable summer heat, countless people because of the heat and heat stroke, even some crops near the capital have been damaged.

At this time, the ice drinks and other things made by Ying Shu were presented to the tables of the management of the Wang Mansion.

Although Wang Ying was puzzled and questioned when she saw the strange tea drinks made by Ying Shu, "How can tea making be so strange? Then he gulped down three bowls and said, "Acceptable, acceptable." ”

Liu was already depressed, and the summer heat taught her to be anxious in her heart, and she was tired of drinking sour plum soup and other things, and after drinking the crushed ice made by Yingshu, she said: "It's really a novelty." ”

Ying Huan in the palace not only felt very good after getting this thing, but also asked Ying Shu for the recipe for Cheng Wang's brother-in-law, and then Cheng Wang's brother-in-law said, "The mind is novel, and the taste is very good." "Then the relationship between the sister and brother-in-law is better, if His Royal Highness King Cheng is fine, he must go to the princess's Moon Shadow Pavilion to rest, and the concubines in the palace only say that the princess has something new and curious.

In the Narcissus Pavilion, Ying Chang was happily going to drink the ice drink, and was about to give Aunt Wang a little as well, but Aunt Wang took away the tea cup and poured it into the flower pot: "Who knows if anything has been added?" Be careful, don't add anything into it. ”； Ying Chang was dissatisfied: "I think it's very delicious, how old is the third sister, where can I get these things?" ”

Even Wang Ruotong in the East Palace was sent by Yingshu to send a prescription, Ruotong did it according to the recipe, but he felt very good, and he had to prepare some for the prince, and the prince said lightly: "You eat it yourself, my body is weak, and I can't eat it too cold." ”

Ruotong pulled Yingshu and complained: "I'm kind, but I can't help it if people don't appreciate it." ”

Ying Shu smiled, and it didn't take long for her to hurry back to Wang's mansion.

As soon as she sat down, Xiangli said: "Girl, Aunt Wang sent someone to make trouble, saying that the lychee and pear ice made by the girl made people vomit and diarrhea after eating, so uncomfortable!" ”

"Didn't she water all the flowers?" Ying Shu asked impatiently.

Of course, the reason why Yingshu can have such a convenient and efficient information network is that Mrs. Wang and Liu's years of accumulation have all been inherited by herself, so she can always know a little bit about the things in Aunt Wang's room.

"This ...... This thing is really cool off, and Aunt Wang just said that she wouldn't drink it, but later she drank some of it. Xiangli smiled, "Who doesn't know that our girl has a wonderful mind, and it is the best to relieve the heat." ”

In fact, it's just those smoothie fruit teas and the like that are commonly used in modern times, but the ancients were not good at pondering, and there were only mung bean soup and sour plum soup all day long. And the novelty of what he did made the Wang family learn and feel very peculiar.

However, this sweet and sour cold taste, in such a scorching summer, there is really no one who can resist it.

"Let her make trouble, it's better to make trouble in front of my father."

Sure enough, when Wang Ying came back from official business in the evening, Aunt Wang went to find Wang Ying with tears in her eyes, crying, there was something wrong with what she drank, someone wanted to harm herself, and so on.

Wang Ying was helpless, so she asked Liu and Yingshu to go to the main hall to talk.

Liu Shi showed deep disdain for this, "Why is it that there is nothing wrong with others drinking, and you have the most trouble?" I see that you are used to eating nonsense, and you don't rely on the three girls. ”

Aunt Wang was sick and delicate, "Where do slaves dare to complain about the third girl?" This was the kindness of the three girls, and the slave and maid were grateful. It's just that the slave maid has always been weak, and this is also the time to remember after eating, although this cold thing is good, but the ice cubes we use every day are directly from the river in winter, and ordinary people are naturally fine when they eat it, but if they eat it in the upper grade, they are afraid that they will have diarrhea. ”

Aunt Wang looked at Wang Ying with an innocent face: "Master, the concubine is afraid that the old lady will be old, and the old man sometimes has a weak spleen and stomach, although the third girl's things are good, but if she is not well to eat, won't she get sick?" She looked at Ying Shu tremblingly, pretending to be timid in her clothes and said, "Third girl, I don't mean to say that you are not good, I am just worried about the old lady's body, and the old man has to be cautious about this matter." ”

Co-author Aunt Wang is not here to challenge herself, but to help herself.

This is a pertinent precaution on the way for Yingshu to study milk tea!

She smiled faintly: "Aunt Wang is wrong, although this ice is in winter, it is not from any river." I ordered the water to be boiled and then cooled and frozen, but it is much safer than the water of a river. I'm not talented, although I can't be filial to my parents and grandmothers, but I'm still safe about these things. ”

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, and then even looked embarrassed: "Hehe, that's because I'm too worried." It's just that this thing is iced after all, so you can't eat more, so it's safer to have mung bean soup and sour plum soup. ”

"As long as my aunt doesn't drink this stuff and then eats fish and shrimp, nothing will happen. Grandmother has eaten this thing for a long time, and she only boasted that it was good and appetizing. It's just that I remember that I told my aunt not to eat fish and shrimp, if you eat fish and shrimp and then eat this thing, you will definitely have diarrhea and abdominal pain. ”

Aunt Wang said "ah", and quickly got up to admit her mistake: "This ...... Maybe I forgot about it...... It turned out that the third girl had thought so thoughtfully, and it was all my fault. I also ask the three girls to forgive their sins. ”

Ying Shu smiled, looking very innocent: "Auntie is like this, I can't afford it." Don't worry, if it's something that's not safe, how dare I give it to my grandmother and parents? And my grandmother is old, so I am afraid that I can't eat more of these sweets. Auntie has to remember it. ”

Liu snorted coldly: "It's because you don't fight yourself, and you don't listen to others." Before, I heard some peach and willow green in your room say that you disdain the things of the three girls, and they are all used to water the flowers. How? The flowers are fine, so you ate those flowers to have diarrhea? ”
