"Brother Chu said something reasonable." Jiang Zhixia nodded, "The Chengen Marquis' Mansion stopped because of your identity. He immediately terminated the engagement. Maybe he would really start secretly. At that time, I probably wouldn't even have the chance to complain to the censor."

It seems that the engagement will last for a while.

"But, Brother Chu knows why Liu Wenli forced me to be a concubine?" Jiang Zhixia asked in confusion again.

Although the matter of Liu Wenli forcibly taking it as a concubine has come to an end. However, Jiang Zhixia is still a little uneasy if she doesn't know the reason. She always feels that things need to be fundamentally solved.

"This, at the moment... I don't know."

Chu Tiankuo said hesitantly. Indeed, there is no clear reason yet.

However, from the news summarized by his subordinates, Chu Tiankuo inferred that it may be related to Zhixia's jewelry paintings.

However, before clearly verifying it, saying it will only make Zhixia more troubled.

He had already arranged someone to investigate and he could always solve the problem after finding out the cause.

Seeing Chu Tiankuo, he said he didn't know the reason, so it would be fine if Jiang Zhixia. Anyway, the problem has been solved temporarily, so I will talk about the future.

Let the soldiers block the water and the soil cover it. Jiang Zhixia thought so.

Then, she wanted to give Chu Tiankuo a thank-you gift she had been thinking about during this period of time. So she pulled Chu Tiankuo's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Brother Chu, come with me."

Chu Tiankuo didn't understand why, but he still obediently followed Jiang Zhixia out of the reception hall.

However, Jiang Zhixia's steps did not stop, and she pulled him through the corner gate and walked towards the backyard. She also stopped Xiaoman who was about to follow him. Because Jiang Zhixia and Chu Tiankuo had already been engaged, Xiaoman was surprised, but still obediently stopped.

Chu Tiankuo was getting more and more surprised when he followed her. When he walked to the stone table in the middle of the yard, he stopped directly.

"Zhixia, is this?" he asked in surprise.

When he walked over, he was Zhixia's boudoir. Last time, he was in urgent need of power. He had gone in once, so that would be fine. However, after he came out last time, he regretted Meng Lang.

This time, there is no important urgent matter.

"I have a very important prescription to give to you." Jiang Zhixia said quietly to Chu Tiankuo with a smile.

"When you go in again, it's your boudoir. Is it appropriate?" Chu Tiankuo asked hesitantly.

He naturally wanted to go in, but if he really went in, would he be bad for Zhixia's reputation?

"?" Jiang Zhixia looked question marks.

I saw Chu Tiankuo looking up at the main room and then looking at her.

Jiang Zhixia's eyes followed him and understood what he meant.

"It's not my boudoir. I won't let you enter my bedroom. Let's go to the small study next to you. Besides, didn't you come here last time?"

In Jiang Zhixia's understanding, the bedroom is considered a boudoir. In the past life, there were cases where men and women shared a house, but there were only different bedrooms.

Of course, when this dynasty comes, you still have to abide by the rules of this dynasty.

However, this fact is of great importance, and she felt that it was not safe enough to say anything.

After hearing this, Chu Tiankuo lowered his head and smiled secretly.

Zhixia unconsciously accepted herself? Last time, when she came to Zhixia to tell her about the shop, she regretted letting her go into her backyard. Now, she has taken the initiative to let him go into the main room.

If Jiang Zhixia knew Chu Tiankuo’s imagination, she would sneer and say, “You’re thinking too much.”

Chu Tiankuo, who got the advantage, naturally would not refuse. So he followed Jiang Zhixia into the small study room.

Jiang Zhixia looked at the wide open window of the small study room, then put down the bracket, locked the main room and put down the gauze curtain for the partition.

In this way, she seemed to be worried, so she tiptoed to approach Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo was blushed by Jiang Zhixia's series of actions, and his mind was full of random thoughts.

He was afraid that Jiang Zhixia would see it, so he had to lower his head desperately.

Jiang Zhixia attached himself to Chu Tiankuo's ear and whispered: "Brother Chu, I'll tell you a huge profit prescription. You have the support of Prince Zhong as your backing, so see how to do this business."

Chu Tiankuo was so dizzy that he was lingering around him that he didn't notice what she said, and he just nodded instinctively.

"Use saltpeter in water to make ice." Jiang Zhixia said softly, like a mosquito-like voice.

Chu Tiankuo was just intoxicated by Jiang Zhixia's initiative to approach, and when he realized her words, he immediately turned to look at her. His pupils were involuntarily magnified because of shock.

Jiang Zhixia saw a look of shock on Chu Tiankuo's face and nodded quietly.

Chu Tiankuo slowly reflected what Jiang Zhixia said.

Jiang Zhixia took out a small bag of saltpeter that she had obtained secretly from the shop.

She pulled Chu Tiankuo and squatted down, then put the saltpeter into a basin of water on the ground. Then, as visible to the naked eye, the basin of water turned into a cold ice cube.

Chu Tiankuo widened his eyes and looked at all this in disbelief.

Nowadays, the ice in the Dali Dynasty is still very expensive. Moreover, the official sales offices are only official.

In winter, the government arranged for the yamen to collect thick ice cubes and store them in the ice cellar deep underground inlaid with blue bricks. In summer, they will be sold.

Of course, noble ministers or wealthy families can also build ice cellars at their own homes. Naturally, there is no need to go to the government to buy them.

Ordinary families who cannot afford to build ice cellars, or families who do not have time to build ice cellars, and those who are extremely mobile like merchants naturally need to go to the government to buy them.

However, the storage volume of the government ice cellar is limited after all, so the price of ice is relatively expensive.

There have been many things like saltpeter since ancient times. The use of saltpeter is not much, mainly used by Taoist priests to practice elixirs. Therefore, the price of saltpeter is extremely low.

When Jiang Zhixia went to buy this piece of saltpeter this time, the guy in the grocery store actually found it for a long time and finally gave it to her as a partner.

Using cheap saltpeter and water to make expensive ice is naturally a huge profit.

Chu Tiankuo finally understood why Zhixia sent everyone away and pulled him into the backyard.

I understood even more why Zhixia closed the window, tied the door, put down the gauze curtain, and squatted on the ground, making people unable to see or hear it.

Who can't go crazy about such a profitable prescription?

"Where did you get this recipe?" Chu Tiankuo asked seriously.

Jiang Zhixia was a little scared.

Chu Tiankuo's coldness and seriousness were naturally experienced when she first met.

However, I don’t know when, Chu Tiankuo in front of her was like an ordinary person. He could speak, laugh, speak softly, and be considerate.

Now, she was inevitably surprised to see Chu Tiankuo like this.

"This is..." Jiang Zhixia hesitated and didn't know what to say.

The fact that saltpeter can form ice when dissolved in water is almost well known in her previous life. So, she really never thought of making up a history for this prescription.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia stammeringly and was reluctant to say it clearly. He thought Zhixia still didn't trust him enough, and his eyes dimmed, but he stopped asking.
