Zhenguo Mansion, Buddha Hall.

The lord of Nanzhang sat there and ate bird's nest soup.

The little maid ran in and said, "County Lord, the third lady is here." ”

The county lord of Nanzhang didn't even raise his eyelids.

The little maid was bored.

She thought that the county lord of Nanzhang would be afraid that the third lady would know that she was lazy, so she hurriedly knelt on the futon and pretended.

I haven't seen the county lord chanting and praying for blessings in the morning.

Except that people are still in the Buddha Hall and can't eat meat, the others are the same as in the Peony Courtyard.

The third lady walked in.

The county lord of Nanzhang put down the bowl and said, "Why did the third brother and sister come to the Buddha Hall?" ”

"I haven't seen you for two days, so I passed by the garden and stopped by to see you," the third lady laughed.

Although she doesn't like the eldest and youngest grandmothers, she has to say that only the eldest and youngest grandmothers in the entire Zhenguo Mansion can make the lord of Nanzhang County deflated.

A master and a servant can force the housewife to this, and no one will believe it.

The third lady sat down beside the lord of Nanzhang County, and the maid brought down the leftover bird's nest porridge.

The lord of Nanzhang took an embroidered handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth.

The third lady looked at her and said, "Today, the old lady is pressuring the young grandmother to turn off the ice shop, does the sister-in-law know about this?" ”

The county lord of Nanzhang glanced at her, "What if you know?" If she wants to take the elders of the Zhenguo Mansion in her eyes, she will not be a female bandit. ”

"No, that's how I persuaded the old lady, but she insisted on putting pressure on the eldest and youngest grandmothers, and it turned out to be boring," the third lady sighed.

The county lord of Nanzhang looked at the third wife and said, "What do the third brothers and sisters want to say?" ”

The third lady said with a smile, "Judging from the attitude of the eldest young grandmother, it is a matter of nine out of ten for her to let the ice shop of the Chongguo Mansion close, since the bandits of Qingyun Mountain entered Beijing, Chongguo Gong has been defeated one after another, and I don't know how many people are laughing behind it, listen to our lord, Chongguo Gong's prestige in the court is far less than before." ”

The face of the lord of Nanzhang County was faintly blue.

There is no need for the third wife to say this, she knows it in her heart.

The emperor was too indulgent to the Dongxiang Marquis, and the Dongxiang Marquis broke one of Chongguogong's ribs, and Chongguo sent someone to assassinate Dongxiang Hou, but he was completely destroyed and sent to the Criminal Department.

This incident shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty so great that no one dared to provoke the Marquis of Dongxiang, because no one knew who would be used by the Marquis of Dongxiang to open the knife.

"If the Dongxiang Hou Mansion is allowed to bully the Chongguo Mansion like this, it will gradually eat away at the status of the Chongguo Mansion in the court," the third wife said.

The county lord of Nanzhang looked at the third lady and said, "Where did she get the ice cubes to sell?!" ”

"Although we all thought it was almost impossible, the king of Nan'an just put the words down, and the ice shop of the eldest and young grandmothers will open tomorrow," the third lady asked.

Zhao's mother also said, "County Lord, this matter has to be prevented. ”

"How to prevent it?!" The king of Nanzhang County gritted his teeth and said.

Zhao's mother was dumbfounded.

The third lady said, "I have a plan." ”

The county lord of Nanzhang looked at her, and the third lady smiled, "Last winter was not very cold, I think even the ice cellar in the Chongguo Mansion is far less than in previous years, why not take the opportunity to take a dip?" ”

The county lord of Nanzhang had an ugly face, "You want the Chongguo Mansion Ice Shop to buy ice cubes from the female bandit's shop?" ”

Before the third wife nodded, Mother Zhao said, "County Lord, this plan is wonderful, the eldest young grandmother's ice shop is a tael of silver, even if there is this ice cube, it is impossible to be endless, buy it for one tael of silver, and wait for the scorching summer, and then sell it for two taels of silver, only make money and not lose." ”

"Sounds good, but would that female bandit be stupid enough to sell to the Chongguo Mansion?" The main road of Nanzhang County.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, the female bandit said today that her ice shop doesn't pick customers, and whoever buys it will sell her," the third lady said with a smile.

"She's so big-hearted!" The county lord of Nanzhang smiled coldly.

The third lady stayed for a while, and then prepared to leave.

It's just that when she walked to the door, she turned around again and said, "I forgot to say, on the way I just came, I saw Chuan'er's eyes blue, and I heard that she was beaten by Chen'er." ”

The face of the lord of Nanzhang County was as cold as frost.

After the third wife left, the county lord of Nanzhang looked at Zhao's mother, "Chuan'er was beaten, why didn't anyone tell me?!" ”

Zhao's mother's heart was trembling.

When the lord of Nanzhang County ate bird's nest soup, she knew about it.

The county lord is in an irritable mood these days, how dare she let her know, but she didn't expect the third lady to have such a big mouth, and she also took care of things that shouldn't be in her hands.

Mother Zhao said, "The eldest young master didn't know who he was beating, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he entered the house wearing a mask, the second young master wanted to take off his mask, and the eldest young master gave the second young master a fist in anger." ”

Nanzhang County's main anger was three feet high.

Mother Zhao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the county lord, the eldest young master can't use force, and the strength to beat people is not great, but I am afraid that he will vomit blood, and the second young master will not fight back." ”

Last time, he was splashed with water at the door, and this time he was punched again, and the second young master also fought with him.

has been with the eldest young grandmother for a long time, and the eldest young master has no power to fight back.

This topic was unpleasant, and Zhao's mother changed the topic and said, "County Lord, about buying ice cubes, is the slave going to the Chongguo Mansion to talk about it?" ”

"No, you go and calculate how much ice you need in the mansion in the summer of previous years, and buy it back tomorrow," Nanzhang County said.

"The county lord is wise."

……

On this day, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.

It's the day the ice rolls open.

Early in the morning, Su Jin got up, had breakfast with Xie Jingchen, and went to Qihe Hall to greet the old lady.

Then, he went straight out of the house.

By the time they arrived at the ice shop, Chu Shun and the others had already arrived.

Seeing the bruises on Xie Jingchen's face, Chu Shun was stunned, "You were not injured less than us yesterday, why did it disappear so quickly?" ”

"Because my girl's ointment is good," Apricot said cheerfully.

Su Jin smiled faintly, "I don't know if you were also beaten, go back later, and I'll have someone send you ointment." ”

"If you want to send more, you will be beaten for a month," Nan'an Jun Wang said.

“……。”

"Can you have some ambition?" The eldest young master of the Dingguo Mansion shouted.

“……。”

"Brother Su has been beaten for a few years, can you not be beaten within a month?" Nan'an County Royal Road.

“……。”

"The king of the county is right, you have to send more, the more the better," the eldest young master of the Dingguo Mansion decisively changed his words.

Xing'er looked at the red silk covered with a plaque and said curiously, "What is our ice shop called?" ”

"First Ice Shop?" She guessed.

"This is too immodest, the names of the four of us can't be so ordinary," Nan'an Jun Wang said.

When they said this, Su Jin was really curious.

When the auspicious time came, the steward said, "The auspicious time has come, and the ice shop should be opened." ”

Su Jin and Xie Jingchen grabbed the silk on one side, and Chu Shun grabbed the other side.

Pull hard.

The red silk fell, covering the apricot standing under the plaque.

The gilded plaque sparkles in the sun.

The plaque is facing the Songji Ice Shop opposite.

The steward of the ice shop and the seven orifice of the little guy are smoking.

There are four big characters on the plaque -

Ice shop for conscience.
