"What are you calling me for?"

Jia Qiang had just returned to Ning Mansion. Before she could enter the house to calm down her frightened heart caused by today's events, she saw Lin Zhixiao from Rong Mansion waiting at the door, saying that the old lady of Xi Mansion had asked him to come over.

Lin Zhixiao apologized and said with a smile: "Master Hou is joking, how can I know about the old lady's affairs?"

Jia Qiang twitched her lips but didn't say much. She asked Li Jing to tell Qi Yun that after delivering ice to Yang's house on a daily basis, she went to Xifu.

The tragic situation of Mrs. Yang's wife today really depressed his heart. The despair that there was nothing greater than death made him inevitably feel pity...

After entering the gate of Rong Mansion and passing through the Neiyi Gate, he saw a carriage passing by. He didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't expect the carriage to take two steps and then stop. The two of them got off the carriage.

One is Ping'er and the other is Feng'er.

Ping'er was a dowry girl brought by Sister Feng from the Wang family. Although she was nominally promised to be Jia Lian's wife, it was just to get rid of a jealous reputation, but she was not allowed to be touched in private.

Feng'er was just a girl who came to Jia's house, but she was loyal to Sister Feng, acted swiftly and thoughtfully, and gained Sister Feng's trust.

Because Jia Qiang wiped out all the servants in the Jia family last time, almost all of them were wiped out.

With so many wives in charge missing, Sister Feng was really overwhelmed, so she finally handed over half of the power in her hands and asked Ping'er and Feng'er to help her share many trivial matters.

Seeing the two people getting off the carriage and coming towards each other, Jia Qiang looked at Ping'er's extremely delicate and warm face, and before the two of them greeted her, she asked: "Sister Ping'er, what's wrong?"

Ping'er and Feng'er still followed the rules, and then laughed softly and said: "There is no reason for the master to walk behind and the slave to sit in front. Secondly, there is indeed something I want to ask the Marquis for."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Second aunt treats you as a relative, and few in the Jia family treat you as a slave. Don't say that in front of me in the future. It sounds disgusting... Tell me, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Ping'er smiled more and more kindly and said: "Because the eldest master and the second master Lian are both injured, and grandma is busy taking care of the old lady every day, so she can't go to the East Road Courtyard often, so she asked Feng'er and I have to go see each other every day..."

Jia Qiang said "Hey" and asked: "They are still alive?"

"..."

Seeing Ping'er and Feng'er both speechless, Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "Naughty joke, sister Ping'er, please continue."

Ping'er smiled and added: "Second Master Lian is recovering well, and the injury is not at the critical point. The doctor said that he will be able to move around after another month. But the eldest master..." She sighed. He said: "I'm afraid there may be some trouble."

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said, "But it can't be saved?"

Ping'er smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hou said this, I can't even accept it... No, the doctor said, take good care of him, use medicine and medicine on time, and he can be cured after more than half a year."

Jia Qiang nodded, with disappointment in her eyes, and asked: "Then where is the trouble?"

Ping'er said: "Just now, the eldest wife told me that the eldest man has lost his temper several times in the past two days because he was eager to eat ice cream cheese. It wasn't really a difficult thing, but there were too many things at home last year and there was no one around in the winter. I took into account getting ice to store in the ice cellar, but there was no ice this year."

Jia Qiangqi said: "We didn't harvest ice last year, so we just sent someone out to buy a piece and brought it back. Is this difficult?"

Ping'er said: "I sent someone, but the person who bought it said that every year the icehouses don't open until mid-March at the earliest. It's not even March yet, and all the icehouses in the capital haven't opened yet. There's nowhere to go."

Buy it."

Hearing this, Jia Qiang understood and nodded: "It just so happens that Prince Zhongqin is gone and we need ice. I'll send someone to get a piece from his coffin."

"Master Hou..."

Ping'er just screamed full of resentment.

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll send someone to deliver it later. Is there nothing else? If there's nothing else, I'll go to Rongqing Hall to see the old lady."

Seeing that Jia Qiang finally stopped joking, Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief and left together with Feng'er, who had been enjoying himself for a long time.

…

"Why are you here? Didn't you just say you were already at the door?"

As soon as Jia Qiang entered Rongqing Hall, she heard Jia Mu ask.

Jia Qiang sighed, shook her head and said, "I heard on the way that Master Xu felt that he was about to be sick and needed ice, so I sent someone to prepare it."

Jia Mu: "..."

Mrs. Wang: "..."

Aunt Xue: "..."

The adults were speechless, but the Jia sisters were all holding it in very hard, especially Xiangyun, who always loved to laugh the most. She pinched her thighs to stop laughing, and while she wanted to laugh crazily, she burst into tears from the pain of pinching herself.

Because Sister Feng complained just now, the master of Dongluyuan wanted to eat ice cream cheese, but now his son had no place to buy ice.

In the end, Jia Qiang said it like this, it was really...

"Pooh!"

Jia Mu was angry and funny at the same time. She scolded her with a straight face and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I will call Ru Hai to discipline you!"

Jia Qiang smiled, and after greeting Jia Mu and other elders, she casually sat down next to Baoyu's seat and asked curiously: "Hey, why are you sitting here today? But I also found that this face is more and more eye-catching sitting on the high platform.

Is it conspicuous?"

"Pfft!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xiangyun really tried his best, but he couldn't hold it in any longer, and he threw his head back and laughed loudly.

Although Baoyu's face was getting better, the bruises and redness had not gone away. Coupled with the application of medicine, he looked even more funny. But in front of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others, no one dared to make fun of him.

I didn't expect that Jia Qiang would be so precise when she arrived...

Baoyu stood up in shame and wanted to hit Jia Qiang. Jia's mother was startled and said hurriedly: "Baoyu, don't be impulsive, don't hurt yourself!"

Jia Qiang was amused by these words and looked at Jia Mu smiling.

Jia Mu said angrily: "Are you still laughing? You have always known how to bully Baoyu!"

Jia Qiang felt so wronged that she said to Aunt Xue: "My concubine came to judge, and Baoyu wanted to hit me, but I didn't even move, so I bullied Baoyu. In the Yinjia Xuan Ci Hall, I wanted to wrestle with Kehe, the king of the county.

The Yin family didn't say anything. Why is jade so valuable?"

Jia Mu was startled when she heard this and quickly asked Aunt Xue: "He wrestled with the fifth prince at Yin's house?!"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It was the prince who made fun of me first... It's not really a joke, he said that my child is prettier than a girl, and I don't have to pay for a meal with flowers and wine. I think he is a little envious...

…”

Sister Feng and her sisters laughed, but Jia Mu was still worried and said, "Then he is going to wrestle with the prince? But have you started yet?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Where can we take action? Mrs. Yin's wife persuaded me."

Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Jia Qiang looking around and whispering something to Baoyu, she asked, "What's wrong with you again?"

Baoyu and Xiangyun Xichun on the right both laughed and shook their heads. When Jia Mu asked, Baoyu chuckled and said, "Brother Qiang asked if there is any fruit to eat."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Don't look at me like this. I just walked around among a group of Yuanping heroes. They were all very angry. My heart is still beating wildly at the moment. I need to eat something to calm down." Shocked... If Baoyu had been walking around like this, he would have peed his pants long ago!"

Baoyu reached out and tried to fight Jia Qiang, but Xiangyun finally grabbed him.

Seeing them having fun together, Jia Mu looked happy and asked Yuanyang to prepare some fruits.

Yuanyang walked down, and when he saw Jia Qiang holding down Baoyu's face with one hand, he asked with a smile: "What does the Marquis want to eat?"

Jia Qiang asked: "What is there?"

Yuanyang said: "It's just apples, pears, and there seems to be some oranges."

Jia Qiang asked sincerely: "Are there any watermelons?"

Yingchun on the side couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "Brother Qiang is really frightened today, so naughty!"

Tanchun also laughed and said: "So you are also afraid sometimes!"

Mother Jia was curious: "What are you doing among the heroes of Yuanping today?"

Jia Qiang thought for a moment and then told the truth, "Wasn't Baoyu beaten by Yang Lu, the crown prince of Zhongqin, in the Juyue Tower?"

Jia Mu frowned and said, "Isn't this matter over? Why are you bringing this up again?" She thought Jia Qiang was still making fun of Baoyu.

Jia Qiang shook her head, raised her eyes to look at Jia Mu, and said, "What did I do to provoke him? However, Yang Lu suddenly died today."

After hearing this, there was a sudden silence in Rongqing Hall, and then countless people turned pale.

Jia's mother was also horrified and couldn't even speak for a while.

Jia Qiang asked curiously: "My aunt didn't tell you?"

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others all looked at Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue said confusedly: "I didn't really hear it at the time, and I didn't mention who was dead at the time."

Jia Qiang smiled and said to Jia Mu: "But it has nothing to do with our family. Yang Lu was poisoned to death by his elder brother Yang Qi. The Xiuyi Guards and the Criminal Department have already solved the case."

Jia Mu was relieved after hearing this, and then said angrily: "Then what are you talking about to scare us?"

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "I was a little frightened at first... By the way, Zhao Guogong Jiang Duo asked me to send some ice to the Yang family. He said that the Yang family didn't have much money. Yuan Ping was a hero. They are all poor."

Jia Mu didn't care about the forgetful grandson pointing the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree. She asked, "Aren't you so stingy?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "I have already agreed. From today on, when Yang Lu comes back, I will send twenty pieces of ice five feet square to Yang's house every day."

A piece of ice five feet square costs five taels of silver in the capital.

In other words, Jia Qiang has to send one hundred taels of silver to the Yang family every day.

A month is three thousand taels. How many months...

Of course, doing this is not just for the Yang family, but more importantly, for the living people to see.
To be continued...
