Chapter 183 Ice

"One, you are not allowed to sneak around; two, you are not allowed to quarrel with people who are higher in rank than yourself; third, you are not allowed to discuss the rights and wrongs of your master in private, and if you find out, you will be kicked out immediately." Jiang Wu looked flat.

The people in the yard had different expressions. The people around Qin Yuxuan sneered, and Lan Xin, who had served Princess Xuancheng, took the lead and said: "The rules set by the county lord do not dare to have opinions, but there are some injustices in them. Like this first Two, you are not allowed to quarrel with people of higher rank than yourself. According to the logic, the people around the county lord are naturally of higher rank, so the slaves and maidservants who serve Mrs. Qin are always inferior, and if things are unfair, they will only be bullied."

What a sharp-mouthed girl, she came up to fight for Qin Yuxuan's power.

Yue Rong put on a straight face, "Isn't this just arguing? Lan Xin, if the Grand Duke sets the rules here today, will you compete with the maids around the Grand Duke for status?"

Lan Xin was speechless for a word.

This is true, Lan Xin is just relying on the Princess Pu Jinyu of Xuancheng behind her to fight Jiang Wu.

Sister Yunhua's face turned cold, "The county lord himself made the rules, and it's not proper for you to interrupt. Outsiders thought it was taught by the princess, and the two families lost face!"

Lan Xin knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he shot the bird in the head, and he was caught in the trick just now!However, Jiang Wu is an aboveboard conspiracy. If she doesn't open her mouth, she will always fall into a passive situation of being inferior to others in the future, but if she opens her mouth, she will look like she is now...

"Lan Xin knows his mistake."

After all, the girl knelt on the ground, with her usual face, she slapped her left and right indifferently and began to clap her hands.Lan Yue had nothing to do with her, as if the two of them didn't know each other.

Jiang Wu sneered, these two "Lan" were much more difficult to deal with than Lan Ting and Lan Xu who had served Qin Yuxuan since she was a child.

There was no sound in the courtyard, only Lan Xin's applause again and again.

It took a while for Yuerong to stop, and the rest of the people were assigned to different levels, and each had their own work to do.Except for the people Wang Miaoyan stuffed in, Jiang Wu's Xiaomanshan was replaced by the confidants brought by Wang Shouzheng.

The maid who served Qin Yuxuan and Zhu Rong was only under Aunt Yunhua, so it couldn't be more fair.

"Okay, let's stop here today, and we will each do our own work in the future, and we are not allowed to go wrong." Sister Yunhua dismissed them.

Changmo Academy is quite peaceful now.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Wu took a sip of tea, and there was still a debt that had not been settled with Shen Kun.Let's wait and see what big moves he has to make.

……

the other side.

"Sister Lan Xin, this Jiang Wu really has some kung fu, pre-empting strikes, my sister suffered a lot today." Lan Yue rubbed the ointment on the table with her palms to warm up, and then spread it on Lan Xin's face.

"But it's not useless at all. We are on an equal footing with Fangrong and Yuerong who are serving her. Could it be that these two big ladies who came out of the palace can really bear this breath? Let's make Granny Chen move a little bit like this." Hands and feet, like this..."

The two got together and began to prepare a new plan.

At the same time, Wang Miaoyan's personal servant girl, now Aunt Shen Kun, walked into Changmo Courtyard with a smiley smile on her face, "Master, Madam asked me to talk to the Lord about something important."

It happened that Jiang Wu was eating, and Aunt Yunhua waited on her with a chopstick of Jinhua ham.

"Master, I'm afraid I can't deliver the ice today. Last time, Madam said that all the orders in the Changmo Academy were given to the people in Xiaomanshan. The ice was always paid by the government. The weather is getting worse. The hotter it is, the more expensive the price of ice will be." Xin'er chattered.

Jiang Wu didn't bother to listen anymore, she just thought she was here to ask for money, "Fang Rong, come here for the money. In the future, for this kind of purchase, just come to Fang Rong to get how much money you want."

She didn't take this matter to heart, and she lost her appetite for food in an instant, so she waved her hand at Sister Yunhua and asked them to remove all the things.The servant was nimble, and Xin'er was still standing aside after three strikes, five divisions and two withdrawals, Jiang Wu looked over suspiciously.

Xin'er smiled on the inside and said: "Master, if it's just a matter of paying some money, our eldest lady will add it to you. In the past, it was the Chang family who was responsible for transporting the ice. When the weather warmed up last year, the frozen ice Not much. This year's hot summer, the price of ice has increased a lot, and the ice in our Duke's Mansion is not enough, and the price of Chang's family is too high. What the lady means is to hand it over to the county owner. The county owner is his daughter-in-law. After that, the whole The Duke’s Mansion is also going to be handed over to the county lord, so it’s better to experience it first.”

experience?

Will you hand it over to me in the future?
Jiang Wu sneered: "Oh? The eldest lady is in her youth, and I'm afraid I won't need a junior to worry about these in the future."

The matter of buying ice involves too much, and Jiang Wu has never been in contact with it. Wang Miaoyan made it clear that leaving this matter aside would embarrass Jiang Wu.No matter what Ren Xin'er said, Jiang Wu didn't open her mouth.The woman's face turned cold, she folded her arms and threw the list on the ground.

"Clap!"

"If the county lord doesn't care about it for a day, there will be no ice in the mansion for a day. The remaining ice is only for two or three days. The county lord can figure it out." Xin'er turned and left with a sneer.

The ice in Changmo Courtyard has almost turned into ice water, and there is nothing to replace it.Yuerong's face was ugly, "The county lord took the nanny and Fangrong out, and left the servants to deal with the fights. The servants also found that the amount of ice used these days was wrong, too much. Send someone to get it. They don’t give it over there. Now that I think about it, if we don’t buy it, our ice will be the first to stop.”

If she doesn't accept this trick, Wang Miaoyan will come up with new tricks.

Jiang Wu was sweating profusely, and picked up the list that Xiner threw on the ground.This is the ice price given by the Chang family. A small piece of ice costs three taels of silver, which is really expensive.

Last year, Chang's family only needed one piece of ice and one tael of silver.

"Let's go, take the master and let's go out." Jiang Wu acted resolutely.

Fangrong in the carriage fanned, "There are only two ice sellers in the capital, one is the Chang family. After the death of the old lady of the Chang family, it is managed by the old man Chang Wei. This Chang Wei is a well-known merchant in the government. Scenery. When Mrs. Chang was alive, she was fairly fair, but afterward Chang Wei was no longer able to do so. In addition to storing ice in the palace every year, I would also buy some from Chang's house."

"In addition to the Chang family, the other family is the Lu family. The head of the house is Mrs. Lu. Now in her [-]th year, she can do things well. She learned to run a business at home when she was seven years old."

After Fangrong finished speaking, Jiang Wu knew what she knew.

The second floor of Chang's shop specially reserved a private room for Jiang Wu. The small room was cold, as if it was cool in spring and autumn.The servants of the Chang family brought a handkerchief soaked in ice water, and it dried just right, and it was comfortable without leaving water marks on the body.

"See the county magistrate."

A rambunctious voice came from the door.
