Chapter 718: Where Did the Ice Come From?
For those who have a bad appetite in summer, it is best to eat ice appetizers.
With this ice can, you can store ice cubes, and you can make some chilled snacks for the little boy to eat, which will definitely be appetizing.
Steward Zheng said: "This is a tribute, it's really strange!" The master of the house next door is too kind, such a valuable thing will be given to us, if you don't know, I think our little son is really his son! ”
Everyone laughed, but An'er didn't laugh.
Li Qianyue saw the owner next door for the first time, and called him Daddy, and the servants in the courtyard knew about it, and they used it as a joke from time to time.
Steward Wang glanced around Bingjian twice, "It's useless for us to have Bingjian, where did the ice come from?" In addition to the palace, the ice cubes are only for the queen mother's summer garden and the palaces of various princes and ministers, where can people like us get ice cubes? ”
"It's not hard."
An'er, who had not spoken, suddenly opened her mouth, and everyone looked at her.
An'er said with a smile: "The owner next door is a thoughtful person, and he sent the Buddha to the west, since he sent the ice to us, he will not take into account that there is no ice cube in our house, he must have taken it into account." ”
I don't know what kind of inspiration An'er's mouth opened, and sure enough, the family sent Uncle Zhou to send ice cubes the next day, and said that it would be delivered every two days in the future.
Although the portion is not much, it is enough for one Bingjian, not only enough for Li Qianyue to eat, but also for those of them who are servants.
The people in the courtyard did not have any doubts, after all, the family next door was an imperial merchant, and they could get tribute, and it was not uncommon to get ice cubes.
……
"Father-in-law, you're here!"
A few days after Bingjian's incident, Duofu came to visit Li Qianyue again.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, Li Qianyue heard the movement and greeted him, and bowed to him obediently.
Duofu couldn't help but rejoice when he saw that he was looking decent, "After inviting Mr. Teach, the little boy will look at Sven Duo and will salute." ”
An'er smiled: "It's all the blessing of the Queen Mother and her father-in-law." On this hot day, my father-in-law came all the way over, and came into the house to sit down and drink a bowl of tea! ”
An'er turned around to pour tea, and Duofu remembered Su Youyi's instructions, so he didn't rush to leave, but took off his hat and went in and sat down, talking to Li Qianyue.
"What is the little boy reading now?"
"Mr. only asks to read three hundred thousand, and first learn to read and write."
"How many words does the little boy recognize now?"
"I know a lot, I can already write my name, should I write it to my father-in-law?"
Li Qianyue went to write like a treasure, An'er came over with a smile and tea, "Don't be surprised, my little boy is very happy since he learned to read, no matter who comes, he has to write his name to show people, for fear that people don't know that he can write!" ”
Duofu took the teacup, his palms were cold, and he was suddenly surprised.
He looked carefully at the tea bowl handed over by An'er, it was actually a cup of chilled chrysanthemum tea, which was the best way to cool off in summer.
But no, how can there be ice in their yard?
He took it and took a sip, it was indeed chilled, a bowl of it was cold to the heart, but it was not the kind of ice that could be calmed by well water.
Thinking of An'er Fangcai's words, he couldn't help but wonder, "Whatever person you say, he has to write his name for people to see, who else has come besides me?" ”
"There is no one, but the people of the neighbor's house next door, and now our two families are also in contact, thanks to the father-in-law who has arranged the manpower and someone to guard the door, we can also rest assured that we can interact with the neighbors."
An'er said with a smile: "This cup of chrysanthemum tea in my father-in-law's hand is still from the Bingjian Ice sent by the neighbor's house, otherwise I really don't know what to use to relieve my father-in-law's fatigue." ”
"Bingjian?!"
Now Duofu was even more surprised.
Bingjian is a tribute paid by the imperial merchants of the household department, and there are not even a few in the palace, but there are a few in the imperial garden, which are used for the queen mother to ice lychees every day.
Li Qianyue, how can there be Bingjian here?
He asked An'er, "This ice book was sent by a neighbor?" Earlier, you said that the neighbor was a merchant from Lingnan, how could he get the tribute? ”
An'er smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't inquire clearly before, but now that I have more contacts, I know that the neighbor is a royal merchant named in the household department." This Bingjian is his tribute, he has a surplus at home, he uses one for himself, and the remaining one will be given to us. In the end, our little boy mistakenly called his owner a father, which can be regarded as fate. ”
That's the right thing to do.
Duofu nodded, "It turns out that his family is a new imperial merchant from the household department, no wonder he can have this thing." It's just that the relationship between the two of you is too good, and such a precious thing can be given to you. ”
Can it be bad?
That's the biological father and son.
An'er knew it all in her heart, thinking about Ji Yushen's instructions, she naturally couldn't say these words in her heart.
Instead, she smiled and said, "The little boy still says that his owner is his father." I haven't seen it either, but I heard Zheng's sister-in-law say that she is an extremely handsome character, as if she is really similar to her uncle back then, and she also likes to wear cyan clothes. ”
It is not uncommon for seven out of ten young men to wear blue clothes on the streets of the capital today.
But somehow, Duofu suddenly frowned.
He suddenly felt that the neighbor next door was a little weird, and he couldn't tell what was weird......
When Duofu returned to the Imperial Garden, he was a little worried.
Su Youyi saw that something was wrong, thinking that something had happened to Li Qianyue, so she asked Duofu to talk back.
Duofu hesitated and told Su Youyi what An'er said.
Earlier, he mentioned that Li Qianyue called the man next door father, which made Su Youyi seem a little unhappy, and he didn't mention it again when he went later.
Just now......
He really didn't think something was right.
The man next door was not only an imperial businessman, but also a native of Lingnan, and he was the one who paid tribute to Bingjian, and he also gave such a valuable Bingjian to Li Qianyue and them.
This is not like the affection of neighbors who have only been together for a year.
What's more, even An'er said that the man next door was extremely handsome, and Li Qianyue called him Daddy again......
The more Duofu thought about it, the more scared he became.
The servant thought to himself, there must be something strange about this neighbor. The servant has already sent someone to the household department to inquire about the situation of this imperial merchant, and will return to the queen mother later. ”
After listening to his words, Su Youyi was silent.
"Finished?"
"That's it."
Duofu was a little apprehensive, raised his head and glanced at Su Youyi's expression, and quickly lowered his head again.
Long.
Su Youyi said lightly: "Let's wait for the person sent to investigate to reply, don't think nonsense before this, scare yourself." ”
She knew what Dofu was suspicious of, and she thought it was funny.
Could it be that Ji Yushen's ghost is back, or is it ...... He didn't die at all?
None of this is possible.
Duofu was a little ashamed, "Yes, the slave understands." ”
