Chapter 637: Sending Ice
Gong Ji originally wanted to directly bring some ice into the house, but Jiang Baoqing stopped Gong Ji with a smile, and only said "You look at me", then waved his hand at him and left the study with a smile.
Jiang Baoqing led Xia Ai and Zheng Nan out of the mansion.
It's just that when he left the house, the porter guarding the side door stopped Jiang Baoqing's carriage, and he was a little embarrassed: "...... Grandma, do you have a pair? ”
Xia Ai, who followed Jiang Baoqing out, laughed angrily: "You also know that this is grandma's carriage?" When will the master go out and play the cards? ”
The porter was very embarrassed: "In recent days, there are quite a few ill-intentioned people outside the house, and the second lady has given an order, but where the people in the house go out of the house, the masters of each house and courtyard have to record it, and take the right cards to enter and exit." ”
Xia Ai was about to argue a few more words, but Jiang Baoqing's voice came out of the carriage: "That's it, Xia Ai, you go and get a pair of cards." ”
Xia Ai replied stupidly.
After taking the right cards and Jiang Baoqing's carriage left the house, it didn't take long for Zheng Nan, who was sitting in the carriage dressed as a maid, to suddenly open his eyes, his voice was very low, and he said to Jiang Baoqing: "Grandma, someone is following us." ”
That's kind of interesting.
Jiang Baoqing smiled.
Zheng Nan asked Jiang Baoqing in a low voice, "Do you need me to solve them?" ”
Jiang Baoqing leaned lazily on the soft collapse in the carriage: "If they only follow, then let them follow." If they want to do it, beat them to death. ”
Zheng Nan answered in a deep voice.
Jiang Baoqing was going to buy some ice at a privately run ice cellar.
In fact, Mrs. Wen is not wrong, this year is indeed hotter than in previous years, even if it is a private ice cellar, several of them have been rounded by dignitaries and nobles. When Jiang Baoqing found the fourth one, he had the goods.
Jiang Baoqing and the steward of the ice cellar signed the paperwork that wrapped all the ice cubes in the ice cellar, and was walking outside the shop, when he suddenly saw not far in front of him, Bai Qi seemed to be talking to the people next to him, walking this way.
The two groups took a look at each other.
Bai Qi's eyes suddenly fell on Zheng Nan beside Jiang Baoqing, and the whole person stiffened.
The person next to Bai Qian, who was also Bai Qian and Zheng Nan's colleague, didn't recognize Zheng Nanlai at first, but he saluted Jiang Baoqing very warmly and greeted: "Hello, madam." ”
Then his eyes inadvertently swept over Xia Ai, Zheng Nan......
Then he was stunned.
In order to complete their tasks, cross-dressing is commonplace, and it's not that no one has ever dressed up as a woman, but they are so ...... There is no sense of disobedience, in his impression, Zheng Nan is the first one.
He sighed in a low voice: "Don't say it, Xiao Nan's women's clothes are weird and good-looking." ”
As soon as these words came out, he was very surprised to find that their wife seemed to be unable to help but laugh.
Zheng Nan glanced at him expressionlessly.
He was a little confused: "What's wrong?" ”
Bai Qi came back to his senses and looked at his colleague with a confused face, and his inner feelings were a little complicated.
For a while, the atmosphere on the field was a little weird.
Zheng Nan's face became more and more ugly.
Jiang Baoqing knew that Zheng Nan was quite a little girl's thin-skinned character in some aspects, so she coughed lightly and broke the somewhat strange atmosphere: "...... Out on errands? ”
These words are asking Bai Qi.
Bai Qi came back to his senses very quickly, he nodded, and said to Jiang Baoqing: "The master instructed us to check something." ”
"Since I have something to do, I won't pull you to play together," Jiang Baoqing smiled and bent his eyes, "The two of you will do things slowly, let's go first." ”
Zheng Nan seemed to have been waiting for Jiang Baoqing to say this, and before Jiang Baoqing's words fell, she already looked like she was about to leave.
Zheng Nan's colleagues still looked a little confused, but Bai Qian looked at Zheng Nan's avoidance of him, not to mention how uncomfortable he was, and almost watched Zheng Nan leave behind Jiang Baoqing.
With such a thing, Jiang Baoqing understood Zheng Nan and didn't go out much, but just chose a teahouse and sat down slightly.
When it was almost time to make an appointment with the ice cellar manager to send the ice over, Jiang Baoqing got up and led Zheng Nan and Xia Ai to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion in a carriage.
She calculated the right time, and almost arrived at the door of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion with the carriage that delivered the ice.
Sure enough, the carriage delivering the ice was stopped by the porter of the house.
The carriage that delivered the ice took out the waist card given by Jiang Baoqing, and said respectfully: "It was the ice bought by the grandmother in the house, and it was ordered to be sent directly to the courtyard of the second lady." ”
When the porter heard this, he turned his head and muttered a few words to someone, then he turned his head and looked at the guy who delivered the ice scrutinically: "...... Wait, I'll let people know. ”
The guy who delivered the ice knew that there had always been a lot of rules in big families, so he nodded very understandingly: "Then I'll wait here, but this ice is a delicate thing after all, so I hope to be faster." ”
Jiang Baoqing's carriage stopped in the shade of the tree around the corner, and the carriage she was riding in was already very inconspicuous, and no one noticed it at this time.
Jiang Baoqing waited in the carriage gracefully, and even played backgammon with Zheng Nan.
Xia Ai was much more sad than Jiang Baoqing, she lifted the curtain from time to time, looked outside, and the more she looked at her face, the more anxious she became.
It wasn't until half an hour had passed, and the guy who delivered the ice was obviously a little restless, so Xia Ai whispered to Jiang Baoqing: "Grandma, our ice hasn't entered the house yet......
Jiang Baoqing picked up a sunspot, fell leisurely, and said with a smile: "Don't worry." ”
Zheng Nan looked at Jiang Baoqing expressionlessly, and unconsciously gave her a five-star bead, and took a deep breath.
Seeing Jiang Baoqing so leisurely, Xia Ai wanted to say that if the ice was not preserved in the mansion again, I was afraid that it would have to be melted away. But no matter how anxious she was, she didn't dare to show half a point in front of Jiang Baoqing.
Because the eldest grandmother said it, it's not in a hurry.
……
The people in the carriage were not in a hurry, but the guy who delivered the ice was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
Seeing that the appointed hour had slowly passed, the person sent by the porter to deliver the message had not yet returned. He endured and endured, until almost half an hour passed, and there was still no movement in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and he panicked.
"Can you help me ask again?" The man was crying and mournful, but he wanted to squeeze out a smile, looking very mad, he gritted his teeth and took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, and stuffed it into the doorman's hand, "It's a hot day, I'll give you a drink!" ”
The porter raised his eyebrows, weighed the weight of the broken silver in his hand, smacked his lips, and looked a little embarrassed: "Okay, I'll find someone to help you ask." ”
As a result, it took nearly a quarter of an hour to find someone.
The guy who delivered the ice looked worse and worse.
Again and again, he waited anxiously in front of the side door of the Dingguo Mansion.
But again and again, there was no reply.
Seeing that the guy who delivered the ice was almost crying, Xia Ai couldn't help but say to Jiang Baoqing again: "...... Grandma, that ice, we really don't care? ”
