Chapter 686 Who Has the Most Interest

Many female family members really feel the heat, but none of them are embarrassed to take off their clothes.After all, everyone is a guest in the palace, and if they do something wrong, they will bump into the princess.

"Bring some crushed ice in." Huo Qiqi smiled lightly and ordered, "There is no one else here, if you feel hot, you can take off your outer fur coats and let the maid beside you carry them."

All the ladies and ladies were a little shy, sitting coyly and not daring to move.

"Since the princess spoke, I will not be polite. I feel very hot and my back is sweating." A young lady in her early twenties said with a smile.

Mrs. Guard and Mrs. Prefect gave Huo Qiqi a brief introduction to the ladies of each prefecture beforehand, so Huo Qiqi had some impression of the lady who spoke.This should be Mrs. Guo's new wife, Mrs. Guo.

This woman is very straightforward, Huo Qiqi smiled at her, "That's good, I don't like to beat around the bush, so say what you want. Mrs. Guo is right about my temper."

"Princess Wang is also a cheerful person." Mrs. Guo was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

Concubine Hui first arrived in the Northland, if she could get on with the concubine, she might be able to help her husband.

"Okay, I can't bear the heat too." Mrs. Guard said with a smile, while taking off the fur coat on her body, and then handed it to the guard girl, wearing only the jacket inside.

But the room is warm, even wearing a jacket is not cold.The ladies followed suit one after another and took off their heavy coats, and everyone immediately felt much more comfortable.

After a while, the servant girl in the mansion brought crushed ice in, and there were fruit pellets and milkshakes at the door.

Eat ice in winter?All the ladies were smiling, but their hearts were beating drums. Women can't catch the cold. It's freezing outside. What does it mean for the princess to invite everyone to eat ice?
"The room is warm, so it doesn't matter if you eat something. I like it better, if you don't like it, don't force it." Huo Qiqi said with a smile.

After hearing this, everyone felt a little embarrassed.

"I'll try it too." Mrs. Guo was really lively, she picked up a bowl of ice naturally, scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth.It is not as cold as imagined, the crushed ice is broken into granules, and it is more milky and fruity.

"It's really delicious." Mrs. Guo smiled lightly.

"Sure enough, it's a thing in the capital city. I actually thought of such a good way to put crushed ice, milk and fruit together." Madam Zhifu said in surprise.

Huo Qiqi secretly smiled, can it be delicious?In order to kill customers later, she spent a lot of money.

All the fruits all use the fruit of the space.

When the others heard this, they couldn't help picking up spoons to taste it, taking a sip of ice, the taste was so wonderful that people wished to eat all the rest in one bite.

"The princess is really Lan Xinhui. With the kang, our winter in the north will not be so cold." Mrs. Garrison said with a smile, "I will take this opportunity to ask the princess if I can lend the craftsman to you. Does our government use it?"

"Borrower, no problem." Huo Qiqi smiled lightly, agreeing very readily.

"Since Mrs. Lin has spoken, then I have the cheek to beg the princess to borrow someone." Madam Zhifu said with a smile.

"Success." Huo Qiqi agreed without any hesitation.

Seeing that Huo Qiqi was so talkative, the others couldn't help but also begged.

Huo Qiqi responded to every request, more effective than a bodhisattva.

Everyone was satisfied and felt that this trip was the right one.The concubine is so talkative, the heated kang is really a good thing, if a heated kang is built in the house, the long winter will not be so cold.

"The bricklayers who built the heated kang were all soldiers recruited by the prince from the army. Most of them were injured and physically disabled. My concubine's ugly words are in front of me. My concubine does not need to invent fees, but the craftsmen's wages are still paid. "Huo Qiqi struck while the iron was hot, and said his purpose with a smile.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.

Don't pay for the invention, she mentioned it all, who dares to really pay the money.

But how much is appropriate?As Concubine Hui, she definitely couldn't just spend three or five taels of money.

Everyone regretted that they had just mentioned the matter of borrowing someone, but since the words were spoken, what's the use of regretting at this time?You can't go back on your word, can you?Everyone is thinking with their toes, and they all know that if they repent at this time, they will undoubtedly directly offend Princess Hui.

The guard's wife and the magistrate's wife also couldn't understand Huo Qiqi's temperament. After hearing Huo Qiqi's words, they were shocked.But they were the first to bring up the matter of borrowing someone, and besides Huo Qiqi, they have the highest status, if they don't speak, they will be completely cold at this moment.

In this way, Princess Hui will also be offended.

The guarding lady and the magistrate's wife sighed inwardly, they must be careful when dealing with Huo Qiqi in the future.

"Craftsmanship is certainly valuable, but it takes more brains to come up with an idea. The princess is generous and doesn't want to pay for inventions. We have already had the cheek to borrow others, so we can no longer take advantage of the princess for no reason." The guard lady chuckled and said, " From my point of view, it’s not as good as this, ten taels of silver is fine for a kang?”

"I only thought of asking for a kang for my own convenience. It's inappropriate for me to borrow money from someone like me." Huo Qiqi pretended to decline.

Everyone despised her in their hearts, but everyone didn't show it at all on their faces. On the contrary, everyone tried their best to praise her to make her feel comfortable.

"Princess Dayi, if there is a fire kang in the house, the family members will suffer a lot less throughout the winter. Besides, it is only right and proper to hire people to work and pay wages. After all, we still take advantage of the princess. Only such a blessing." A business woman flattered with a smile.

Others said yes.

Business women are different from officials' wives. Although the reputation of merchant families is not good, they have money in their hands.A kang is only ten taels of silver, to them, it's just a drizzle.

But they are the ones who get the benefits of setting up the heated kang, and secondly, they can also please Princess Hui, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

"Ladies and gentlemen are so righteous, wangfei, servants feel that the wages of bricklayers should not be overcharged, how about [-] yuan per room? Just let them have lunch." Shu Yun interjected.

Everyone was taken aback, isn't ten taels of silver wages?
Huo Qiqi nodded lightly. She looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "What do you ladies think of this price?"

"I think so."

"That's right, it's only fifty cash, so it's cheap."

"This is the salary of the Kang Kang. If you still want to build a firewall, you can negotiate the price yourself." Huo Qiqi added.

Everyone secretly thought, ten liang of silver is enough to bear, so what is fifty cash, even if the firewall is added, at most fifty cash is more.Everyone can accept this price.

So, everyone joined in.

Both parties were happy.

Huo Qiqi entertained snacks and scented tea, and it was difficult for everyone to stay in the palace for dinner. When it was close to noon, this group of people took the initiative to say goodbye and left.
