The old lady is suffering from heatstroke now, and given the old lady's age and body, it is enough for her to suffer. However, Su Tang will not sympathize with the old lady. She is reluctant to punish the third master and Xie Wei, so she should suffer for the third room.
However, the person had already suffered. Su Tang was not sympathetic in his heart, but he still wanted to be filial, so he ordered the boy, "Let the ice cellar deliver ice to the Buddhist hall from today on according to the old lady's instructions."
The boy quickly went to the ice cellar to deliver the message.
When Su Tang and Xie Boting returned to Jingmoxuan and sat down, before they even took a sip of tea, the manager of the ice cellar came.
With an uneasy look on his face, Su Tang saw it and said, "What's wrong?"
The manager of the ice cellar said with a trembling voice, "Prince Princess, the ice stored in the ice cellar is enough for four days."
This is the ice in the ice cellar that the eldest girl didn't use when she got married, otherwise the ice cellar would have been empty long ago.
If he didn't think of a way to solve this problem, once the ice broke, he couldn't bear the frail bodies of the ladies and girls in the house who would suffer from heatstroke.
Su Tang picked up the tea cup and glanced at the ice cellar manager, "Has the ice that Princess Nankang bought before been delivered?"
The ice cellar manager shook his head, "No..."
Su Tang frowned, not yet?
The manager of the ice cellar said hurriedly, "I went to rush for it today. The ice store said that it had to be sent to the government before, but the government had no place to store it. The ice store said that they would suffer a lot of damage when storing the ice. When Princess Nankang bought it, it was
Three taels of silver and one piece of silver, now as the sky becomes more and more
Hot, the ice stored in each palace has been used up, and it has risen to six taels of silver per piece. The ice shop told Princess Nankang before that the two thousand taels will be regarded as a deposit. The day when our Jingnan Palace picks up the ice will be based on that.
The price for a day is reasonable, starting from two thousand liang."
Su Tang had already prepared for the crime, but why didn't he tell the ice shop and Princess Nankang about the agreement earlier, and forcefully drag the ice until it was so expensive?
Moreover, this made it clear that Princess Nankang had agreed to suffer a loss. Su Tang did not believe that Bingpu had nothing to do with Princess Nankang.
It's just that she used to be the housekeeper of Nankang County, so everything was easy to do. Now that the housekeeping power has fallen into her hands, she naturally has to make money.
Su Tang put down the tea cup and said, "Go to the ice shop again and get the two thousand taels back."
The manager of the ice cellar was stunned, "Why don't you want to buy ice?"
"I won't buy it," Su Tang replied simply.
"..."
The manager of the ice cellar suspected that the princess had a bad memory.
There is only enough ice in the ice cellar for four days.
If you don’t buy Tibetan ice, isn’t the princess afraid of the heat?
The person in charge of the ice cellar wanted to persuade Su Tang, but Su Tang waved his hand and said, "Step back."
The ice cellar manager had no choice but to look at Xie Boting, and Xie Boting looked at Su Tang, "Nowadays, all the ice stores in Kyoto have almost sold out their ice. Maybe this ice store is the only one that can sell it to you."
Su Tang shrugged, "Let me spend six taels of silver to buy a piece of ice. I won't be such a spendthrift."
Xie Boting, "..."
Xie Boting was speechless for a moment.
A person who often charges 10,000 taels of silver to treat patients was not willing to let her spend 6 taels of silver to buy a piece of ice.
And she didn’t buy it herself, the prince paid for it.
Banxia reminded from the side, "Prince Princess, you also borrowed ice from Prince Xin'an and the others..."
At the beginning, she was so brazen about borrowing one and paying back ten. If she hadn't been afraid that the Crown Princess would glare at her, she would have thrown cold water on the Crown Princess.
Just putting four big pieces of ice in the room didn't feel cool enough for the princess, so she didn't even dare to think about having no ice later.
Although Banxia didn't say anything, the words were reflected on her face. Su Tang saw it clearly at a glance and said, "I always keep my word, and I will never break my promise if I borrow one and pay back ten."
After saying that, Su Tang said, "Go to the study and get the things I've been working on for the past two days."
Why did you go get something again while we were still talking about ice cubes? The topic changed too quickly. This chapter has been completed!
