Chapter 30: Ice Water
The weather is getting hotter, and Wan Qingping returns home that day, and he usually lives in the backyard of the yamen.
Now the family is no longer the old house where Chen Ke used to stay, but after Wan Qingping became a strategic envoy, he forcibly took it from a rich family, and it cannot be said that he took it purely for nothing, and gave some silver taels.
The courtyard of the third entrance, the house is twelve, and two little maids were bought from the market to serve, and the second mother has long been out of the Zhao Mansion to be the cook of the Nalaoshzi, and has become a noble lady at home to manage the affairs of the family.
"Big brother is back!" "Little girl, no, girl, Yan Yan walked out of a room, Yan Yan is sixteen years old this year, inherited some of her mother's advantages, she looks a little good, and now her life is much better than before, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, rouge and gouache are not lacking, quite a rich lady's appearance.
The poor raise a son, the rich raise a daughter, Wan Qingping's eldest brother is like a father, this truth is still known.
"Big brother!" The second brother stood in the distance with some fear, his body was wet, and he seemed to have just gotten off work and was washing his body.
Since a few months ago, Wan Qingping smoked a big-eared post, and then flailed at the door of the Yamen of the Jingluo Envoy for ten days, so now he has been beaten by Wan Qingping to a rice shop to carry a big bag every day.
It's not that the family lacks that little money, but Wan Qingping's second brother is not a person who does big things, so he can only let him hone his skills like this, and then buy him some land to be a small landlord or go to the yamen to find him a Qingping errand.
Yan Yan is now close to herself, and after her daughter's family grows up, Wan Qingping is not good at slapping her with big-eared posts anymore, so she gets closer.
"Big brother, have you eaten?" asked Yan Yan.
"Eat, don't be busy!" Wan Qingping waved his hand and walked into the main hall.
"Then I'll get some ice water for my eldest brother to cool off later!" Wan Qingping didn't remember that he still had an ice cellar at home, so he asked, "Where did the ice water come from?"
"I'll find out later, big brother!"
Erniang walked in and said a few words of greeting: "Da Lang, you are not young anymore, this year is either twenty-four or twenty-five!"
"Erniang, my eldest sister is nine years old, and I am twenty-five years old this year!" Wan Qingping didn't know what Erniang meant.
"Our family is now considered a solid family, and you are an official of Chishui City. If you are in the countryside, at this age, the dolls are crawling all over the ground. In the past, the family was not lenient and could not afford to marry a daughter-in-law, but now that it is good, the family is prosperous again. You see if it's time to think about lifelong events, even if I, the second mother, meet your father underground in the future, I can have a saying!" Wan Liushi opened his mouth and said the purpose.
Wan Qingping is used to being alone, and he is a prodigal person, he really didn't think about these before, but now he has no intention of asking the immortals to ask, but he should also think about it, so he said: "Erniang, I will consider this matter." In addition, Erlang is also of age, you first help Erlang Zhang Luo, Yan Yan is not small, see which family has a suitable good family! I, as a brother, am not good at this kind of thing, you bother!"
Seeing that Wan Qingping agreed, Wan Liushi nodded with a smile on his face.
I heard Wan Qingping say to the youngest son standing on the side: "Erlang, I see that your temperament is almost worn out now, now the eldest brother gives you two choices, one is to buy some land, be a small landlord, and live a divided life, and the other is that I will find you a public errand, which one do you choose?"
The second brother is submissive, Wan Liu knows that his youngest son's temperament is not a strong person, in front of Wan Qingping is more like a mouse seeing a cat, so he interjected: "It's better to buy some fields, Erlang has a weak temperament, rent land, collect rent, and live a peaceful life, which can be regarded as inheriting your father's family business!"
"Okay, Erniang and Erlang will handle this matter in a few days, and buy a hundred acres of land first! It's near Chishui City, and there will be a response when the time comes!" Wan Qingping set the tone, although he said that he was buying, in fact, he was thinking about how to snatch some villagers' land when the time came.
Wan Qingping had nothing to do, and felt that the house was too stuffy, so he walked to the courtyard to breathe, but saw that Yan Yan was holding a shallow small wooden basin at this time, and I didn't know what was in it, only the sound of ticking and ticking.
Wan Qingping walked over to take a look, and then picked up the things in the wooden basin, and a chill came from the thing, and a few drops of water flowed down his hands.
Wan Qingping then remembered that this was the piece of jade that Zhao Lu had apologized for, he didn't care about it at the time, and later gave it to Yan Yan as a plaything.
At that time, according to the old man, this thing can become cold in the moonlight, and the cold thing can indeed collect water out of thin air, especially on such a hot day.
Wan Qingping then put it down, not caring at all, just thinking that this thing was a little strange. Half an hour later, Yan Yan sent a small half pot of ice water, which was gathered by Fang Cai Yugui, and Wan Qingping tasted it cold and delicious.
