    Chongguo Mansion, Study Room.

    Duke Chongguo sat there with a gloomy expression.

    The person in charge stood beside Duke Chong.

    The door was pushed open with a creak.

    Mrs. Chong Guogong walked in, and seeing Chong Guogong's expression was cold, she glanced at the steward.

    The manager shook his head.

    Mrs. Chong Guogong said, "It seems that the emperor is determined to hide the news of General Xie's recovery this time. He is just praying for blessings in the Buddhist hall.  Prayers should also be prayed, why should the Duke take it to heart?"

    It's really not a big deal to chant scriptures and pray for blessings in the Buddhist hall, but the Nanzhang princess couldn't swallow this breath.

    She punished the female bandit to kneel in the Buddhist hall. After kneeling for a while, the emperor came to rescue her. When it was Nanzhang Princess' turn, the emperor still protected the female bandit.

    The princess of Nanzhang lifted a stone and shot herself in the foot. After staying in the Buddhist hall for a few days, how many days will the female bandit laugh behind her back?

    Duke Chongguo looked at Mrs. Chongguo and said, "The Empress Dowager also knows about this."

    It can be said that the princess Nanzhang was raised by the queen mother, and she is the heart of the queen mother. In order to make the queen mother happy, she has to help the princess Nanzhang.

    Mrs. Chongguo smiled and said, "I have a plan."

    "Let's listen to it," Chongguo said.

    Mrs. Chong Guogong came to his ear and whispered a few words.

    The gloomy look on Duke Chongguo's face dissipated, and he boasted, "Madam's trick."

    At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the servant said outside, "Director Wang."

    Manager Wang hurried over to open the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

    The boy said, "Your distant nephew asked you to report about the ice shop."

    Director Wang looked back at Duke Chong, and said, "Let him in."

    The ice shop is owned by Duke Chongguo, and the distant cousin of Director Wang is only in charge of keeping the accounts. The business of the ice shop is very good. It seems that it will be summer soon, and it is time for the ice shop to earn a lot of money.

    After a while, Manager Wang's nephew Wang Chengcheng came over.

    When he greeted Lord Chongguo, Manager Wang asked, "What's wrong with the ice shop?"

    Wang Cheng hurriedly replied, "Today, the king of Nan'an County sent someone to buy ice from the ice shop, and he asked for 400 yuan. The little one asked carefully, and then he found out that the king of Nan'an County was on behalf of the Duke of Zhen.  I bought it from the newly opened shop of the eldest young lady."

    Manager Wang frowned, "You sold it?"

    Wang Cheng shook his head, "I dare to sell it. At that time, I said a piece of ice was ten taels of silver, and I sent him away. The servant of Nan'an County King almost didn't fight me."

    Mrs. Chongguogong stood beside Chongguogong, she said, "Isn't the shop of the young mistress of Zhenguogong's mansion selling charcoal, why do you want to buy so much ice?"

    Wang Cheng shook his head, "The little one doesn't know, but the number of ice cubes she wants is so large that she can't buy them anywhere except our ice shop. Although the other shops are all together, the little one has already gone to say hello.  No one will sell it to her, the younger one is here to ask if the grandma of Zhen Guogong accepts the price of ten taels of silver for a piece of ice, will I sell the ice to her?"

    Mrs. Chongguo sneered coldly, "Chongguo's mansion is not short of that money."

    Wang Cheng answered again and again.

    Mrs. Chongguo smiled and said, "Director Wang, your nephew is quite clever, I reward him ten taels of silver."

    Wang Cheng thanked again and again.

    Chen Xiangxuan, the backyard.

    Xie Jingchen, Chu Shun and the others sat on the stone table drinking tea.

    After finishing a cup of tea, the king of Nan'an County picked up the teapot to pour tea for himself, but the teapot was empty.

    The dark guard is not there.

    Myolie went to the kitchen.

    Su Jin was in the bamboo house, and no one brought them more tea.

    In the distance, Xing'er came over with a porcelain basin, and there was also a small porcelain basin in the porcelain basin.

    She walked over directly and put the porcelain basin on the stone table.

    King Nan'an looked at her, "What is this for?"

    Myolie shook her head, "I don't know either, the girl asked me to go to the kitchen to get it."

    Beining Hou Shizi knocked on the porcelain basin, his voice was clear and sweet.

    In the bamboo house, Su Jin was sitting at the desk, holding a pen and ink, writing and drawing.

    The dark guard carried a bag into the house and said, "Young Mistress, I have bought what you asked for."

    Su Jin put down the pen, pressed the drawing paper with a paperweight, and got up.

    She walked to the bag, opened it, took a look, grabbed some of it, put it in a stone ladle, and smashed it vigorously.

    She walked out with a stone ladle in her hand.

    When she arrived at the stone table, Xing'er had already put the small porcelain basin in the big porcelain basin as she ordered, both porcelain basins were filled with water.

    Seeing her approaching, Chu Shun asked, "What is sister-in-law doing?"

    "You'll find out later," Su Jin said condescendingly.

    She poured the crushed powder into a large porcelain basin and stirred it with a wooden stick.

    Chu Shun and the others watched quietly.

    Then¡ª¡ª

    They saw small ice cubes floating in the small porcelain basin.

    The king of Nan'an County thought he was delusional, and reached out to get a small ice cube, but when his finger touched the water, he took it back.

    "What's wrong?" asked the young master of Duke Ding's mansion.

    "The water is so cold," Nan'an County King said in surprise.

    Chu Shun reached out to take out the ice and said in shock, "It's really ice!"

    More than half an hour ago, Su Jin said that the ice shop in the Chongguo Mansion would be closed. They all thought that Su Jin was bragging.

    Su Jin just smiled and said, "If you are not busy, stay a little longer."

    They were idle and flustered, and they stayed until now.

    While talking, there was more and more ice in the small porcelain basin.

    King Nan'an and the others looked at each other.

    Chu Shun swallowed, and asked, "What's going on?"

    Su Jin smiled and said, "I just asked Di Qing to buy saltpeter. When saltpeter dissolves in water, it will absorb a lot of heat, thus causing the water in the small porcelain basin to freeze into ice."

    The King of Nan'an looked at the ice cubes in the porcelain basin, and said, "No wonder my sister-in-law has the confidence to close the ice shop in Chongguo's mansion."

    "How did sister-in-law know that ice can be made in this way?" Beining Hou Shizi asked curiously.

    "A reader," Su Jin said.

    ""

    Blow.

    Heavy blow.

    A shattering blow.

    Xing'er's maid said that her eldest mistress doesn't like reading.

    Just such a female bandit who doesn't like reading knows more than the five of them.

    Is there anything more shocking than this?

    Absolutely, yes, no more!

    Xie Jingchen looked at Su Jindao, "What are you going to do next?"

    "Buy the shop near the ice shop in Chongguo Gongfu to sell ice cubes," Su Jin said seriously.

    ""

    "The ice cubes in the Chongguo Mansion sell for two taels, and I sell one tael," Su Jin said.

    ""

    Chu Shun said silently, "In three days, the ice shop in the Chongguo Mansion will be closed."

    This is what Su Jin wanted.

    Myolie went to the kitchen and brought lotus seed soup.

    Put Su Jin in a porcelain basin and put it on ice, one bowl for each person, it's ice cold, don't be too cool.

    After they finished eating, Su Jin brought some papers.

    That was the share certificate she had written. Xie Jingchen and the others each took 10%, Su Jin took 20%, and the remaining 30% went to the Dongxiang Houfu.

    Chu Shun looked at Su Jin and said, "Sister-in-law is giving us money."

    This is obviously a money-making business, and it is a steady profit.

    Su Jin smiled and said, "Send it first, I will rob you if I am short of money."

    Chu Shun, ""
