When Lian Madam saw that she was not responding, she also knew that she was in some trouble. She thought for a moment and said bluntly: "Now that our Lian Mansion is really desperate, I don't trust anyone to ask for help. I know that the girl is capable, and I hope that the girl can take this into account."
For the sake of my kindness to the girl before, please help me."
Yan Shiqing didn't expect that she would wear such a big hat for herself, but so what?
She is not a savior, she will help anyone who feels sorry for her.
What's more, this is the Hongwu Kingdom, not her country.
Even the old lady's heart sank when she saw her being silent.
These days, all the usable cash in the house has been used up, and a lot of dowries for the daughters-in-law of each house have been paid, as well as dowry cash originally prepared for girls who are about to have hair extensions.
If it weren't for others to notice, she would really want to sell some to make up for it.
But she understands better that everything must not be started like this. Once it is opened, it will be like a breach of the embankment. It cannot be closed, and the entire company will collapse.
Regarding the things currently being provided to the palace, there is a message from the palace that because the canal needs to be built, a large sum of money needs to be paid. Now the money cannot be settled and must be settled once every six months.
As a result, it is impossible to expect to make money from the palace, or in other words, to get money immediately.
If not, she would definitely not come to the door today.
"Miss Yan, I heard that you are looking for a guard to drive the carriage, and I happen to have a good one here who can introduce it to you. He is free, and I have asked him about it, and he is willing to come to your house."
"Oh, I wonder who it is?"
Yan Shiqing didn't expect that Mrs. Lian would turn the conversation to this topic, but she became interested.
She thought she probably knew who Mrs. Lian was going to send her.
If Mrs. Lian can let Ding Rui come to her, she really can't stand idly by with this favor.
She urgently wants to know Ding Rui's identity.
Mrs. Lian saw that she was really interested, so she clapped her hands.xdw8
Yan Shiqing looked through the gauze of the screen and saw a man standing at the door with his eyes downcast.
Because of the gauze, Yan Shiqing couldn't see very clearly.
She subconsciously looked at Aunt Huo and saw her frowning and shaking her head at herself. She was immediately confused and somewhat unclear as to what Aunt Huo meant.
Does it mean that he is not Ding Rui, or that Ding Rui is not Ding Beirui?
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Aunt Huo nodded excitedly to her, then shook her head, which made Yan Shiqing even more confused.
Aunt Huo had no choice but to say: "Chunyu, the coachman, thinks it is very good. Thank you, old lady, for the introduction."
When Yan Shiqing heard her words, she immediately understood that she wanted to keep someone behind.
I think this person should be related to her, at least to Da Chu.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Mrs. Lian, you really touched my heart. During this period, I have been very busy. Whenever I want to go out, I have to tell me to use the coachman."
."
When she said this, she glanced at the empty coffee table in front of Old Madam Lian, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to Aunt Huo: "Mommy, it has started to get very hot these past two days. Even Madam Lian has not been there since she came in.
Have a drink of water. Send someone to the kitchen to have a look, but there is also iced lotus seed and white fungus soup. If you have any, bring two bowls over."
Since the rain stopped and the water receded, the capital has become completely hot, especially in the past two days.
For this purpose, she specially made some ice and asked the kitchen to make some sweet water. After it was chilled, she asked Chu Ximo and Jiang Hongxuan to come back and drink it.
Along with this, the servants in the house are also blessed to have a sip of ice-cold mung bean soup on this hot day.
Aunt Huo is a smart person. When she heard this, she remembered the purpose of Mrs. Lian's visit. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded to Yan Shiqing.
"If your servants are rough-handed, it's better for me to be an old slave!"
Mrs. Lian was a little confused. Logically speaking, she had sent someone here, so shouldn't she be talking about business? Why did she get involved with food again?
She was doubtful, but she didn't show it.
When Nanny Huo brought two bowls of iced lotus seed and white fungus soup and placed them in front of her, she was still a little overwhelmed.
"The weather is hot. Madam, please take a sip first to moisten your throat."
Yan Shiqing said, looking at Nian An who was sleeping beside him, waving his little hand, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Yan Shiqing didn't even look at the old lady, and started changing diapers and feeding the child.
Of course, she did all this by following Nanny Huo and carrying Nian An into the room, leaving Ding Rui standing at the door and Mrs. Lian by the screen alone.
Mrs. Lian saw that there were two bowls, picked up one bowl herself, and planned to hand it to Ding Rui.
When the cold touch came from his fingers, his eyes lit up.
She seemed to understand Yan Shiqing's intention.
Thinking of this, she directly scooped up a small spoon and put it into her mouth, then squinted her eyes.
Hongwu Kingdom is hot all year round, especially in the capital city.
It is very difficult to get ice.
Except for those big aristocratic families who travel thousands of miles to the north every winter and spend a lot of manpower and material resources to get some back to the capital, others, including her family, can have very few every year.
But as far as she knew, the Jiang family had just moved here not long ago. It was really not easy for them to have ice cubes on such a hot day.
I just don’t know where she came from, and how she managed to hide it from their eyes and ears? Also, is she planning to cooperate with me on this?
Mrs. Lian wanted to think about it, and handed the other untouched bowl to Ding Rui, saying softly: "This Jiang Mansion values you, follow them well in the future, it's our Lian Mansion, I'm sorry for you!"
The reason why Ding Rui came here was not because of Mrs. Lian's request, but because he learned that this woman from Jiang Mansion was the person he met in Lian Mansion that day.
He wanted to know who this woman was and why she made him feel that way.
Ding Rui was silent, and even the old lady didn't say anything. She just turned around and sat back.
She has really lost a lot of weight these days, but she looks more energetic than before.
She only took a small bite of the iced Tremella lotus seeds. She remembered what Yan Shiqing told her to avoid eating.
When Yan Shiqing came out, Mrs. Lian said, "Miss Yan plans to cooperate with me on this?"
She said, pointing to the bowl.
"Well, I wonder how capable the old lady is? I have a secret recipe to make ice cubes and let Lian Fu manage it. But I want 20% of the profit. How the old lady distributes the rest has nothing to do with me. But I want to see
Account books cannot be falsified. Otherwise, I would rather disclose the secret recipe so that you can’t do it.”
Madam Lian narrowed her eyes when she heard the secret recipe and the price of 20%. She knew how profitable this ice was in the Hongwu Kingdom. If it were left to them to make, as long as the cost was not particularly high, she would have to sell it even if it was done.
Once she starts doing it, with her Lianfu ability, she will probably be able to make money back in less than a month.
It's just that in this case, someone must be roped in to support him.
Hearing that the treasury was short of money, she thought the emperor would be interested. At that time, she would give the emperor 30%, and after deducting taxes, she would still be able to earn 30%.
Thirty percent of the ice is really a lot, and it is safer than other businesses.
