My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 25

[Chapter 25 Get lost with your sister]

. This madam will really make things worse for herself.

Jing Zhe smiled and said, “Madam, you are joking. I am a commoner, how can I be a noble royal?”

Seeing that the madam didn’t believe it, he added: “Besides, Jingzhou is only ten days’ walk from Yongzhou. Even if you bring ice, it will turn into water here.”

The old bustard thought the same thing, and then looked at the ice in the porcelain jar. Except for the traces of melting on the surface because the lid had just been opened, the bottom was intact. It didn’t look like it was from a distance. Shipped here.

Then he said in surprise: “If the young master is not from the royal family, how is this ice made? As far as I know, only the royal family in Anguo knows the art of making ice in summer!”

Jing Zhe waved his hand, “Madam, you are wrong. Well, it’s not like the royal family knows how to make ice in summer, they just know how to store it!”

“Storage?”

the madam looked confused.

Jing Zhe explained: “In the severe cold in winter, the palace guards would cut ice from the river and put it into a special ice cellar, store it for half a year, and then take it out when the weather is hot. So the ice in the royal family is not specially made, it is just stored!”

When I was reading a book before , Jing Zhe has learned about it.

Before saltpeter ice was made, this was how the ice used by the royal family came from in summer. This method was only available to the royal family, because they could spend time and manpower to build such a huge ice cellar, which others simply couldn’t do.

After hearing this, the madam exclaimed: “You have been taught a lesson! Mr. A Kun knows so much!”

Seeing the admiring look on the old madam’s face, Jing Zhe felt a little nauseous and thought to himself, you are not a young girl, are you doing such evil things?

He coughed twice, “It’s just because my elders in my family participated in the construction of an ice cellar in the early years. Later, when my elders returned to their hometown, they also built a small ice cellar. This ice was taken out of the ice cellar, so I understand.”

The madam nodded repeatedly and looked at the porcelain jar again, her eyes flickering as she didn’t know what she was thinking.

“What do you think, madam, if I provide ice for Chunshui Tower?”

Now that the words had been spoken, Jing Zhe no longer hid it.

But the madam was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. She no longer looked as expectant as before. She raised her chin slightly and said lazily: “Mr. Akun, the ice is good, but look, there was no ice in the building before. Why don’t you come here?”

“Mrs. Don’t you want it anymore?”

Jing Zhe asked tentatively, not sure what she meant.

“Haha, if the price is right, it’s not impossible.”

The madam laughed twice, “If it’s too expensive, I can only bear the pain and give up!”

“…”

After a long time, it was actually bargaining.

“Things are rare and valuable. Madam also said just now that this midsummer ice is unique to the royal family. It has a price but no market. No one can get it. So the price of this ice – for such a jar, one tael of silver is not much, right? “

This porcelain jar weighs about four or five kilograms. The price is indeed a bit expensive for Xunchang people, but the people who come to Chunshui Tower are all wealthy people. Jing Zhe has already inspected it, and the price is not expensive for them. .

“One tael of silver?”

the old bustard muttered, without saying yes or no. His attitude was completely different from before.

Through Jing Zhe’s performance last night and now, she has figured out that the handsome young man opposite is really short of money.

In this case, she had room to bargain, and deliberately held him back for a while to lower the price.

The madam’s attitude made Jing Zhe very angry. Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard a charming voice coming from upstairs, as clear and sweet as if it was ringing in his ears.

“Since Mr. Kun is here, why don’t you go upstairs to talk?”

Jing Zhe looked up and saw a woman standing on the empty platform looking at him with burning eyes.

She is wearing a snow-white spun tasseled long dress, her eyes are like water, her face is as pink as clouds, her lips are red and her teeth are white, she is exquisite and exquisite.

Traveling back to this era, the most beautiful woman Jing Zhe has ever seen is definitely Lu Li, and this girl Wan’er is as good as Lu Li and complements her famous name.

Being accustomed to seeing Lu Li, Jing Zhe was somewhat resistant to beauties of the same level, but when he saw Miss Wan’er for the first time, he was still a little dazzled.

I always feel like I’ve known each other deep in my soul.

The woman on the platform probably had the same idea, her eyes were slightly dazed, and her heart felt strange.

“Yesterday I wanted to invite the young master upstairs to appreciate the poems, but I was rejected by the young master. Wan’er is deeply sorry. I have free time today, so please don’t refuse anymore.”

Wan’er knelt down and spoke softly.

Jing Zhe wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into one word.

“Okay.”

Hanhan was shocked and hurriedly stopped him: “Young Master, it’s dangerous!”

“Get away from your sister!”

“Young Master, how can I have a girl? Only fat men have girls!”

“…”

Jing Zhe was speechless and said. Pushing him away, he pointed at the bright world outside the door and said fiercely: “Where is the danger in this broad daylight? If you are not worried, just come upstairs with me!”

Without waiting for him, “Deng, Deng, Deng” Went upstairs.

Yes, it was broad daylight, it seemed not the time to do that.

Hanhan scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed.

The old madam stared at the two people’s backs and said with a smile: “Master A Kun, go ahead, we will discuss the ice selling thing later!”

…

Jing Zhe went upstairs and was led into the house. Of course, his bodyguard Han Han never leaves.

A burner of incense was burned on the table, green smoke curled up, and the aroma filled the air.

The room is not big, but it is clean and tidy. The bed is neatly folded and there are two bags on it.

Jing Zhe asked curiously: “Miss Wan’er is… leaving?”

Wan’er didn’t shy away, poured him a cup of tea, and said slowly: “Wan’er is not from Yongzhou at all, and she is just passing by to rest. After resting enough, we are ready to set off.”

Jing Zhe nodded and did not ask any more questions. We met by chance and there was no point in talking.

Wan’er, on the other hand, chose another topic.

“The words that the young master wrote last night were so beautiful and profound in conception that Wan’er thought about it several times and couldn’t sleep at night.”

Jing Zhe also hurriedly said a few polite words…
