Jia Qiang nodded, not hiding her disappointment, and asked, "Then what's the trouble?"

Ping'er said: "Just now the eldest lady told me that the elder has lost his temper a few times because he has been eager to eat ice cream these two days. It was not a difficult matter, but last year there were too many things at home, and there was no one in the winter. In consideration of taking ice and storing it in the ice cellar, there is no ice this year."

Jia Qiang wondered, "I didn't harvest ice last year, so I sent someone out to buy a piece. Is this difficult?"

Ping'er said: "I sent people, but the people who bought it said that every year the icehouses don't open until the middle of 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."

Jia Qiang understood when she heard the words, she nodded and said, "It happens that Uncle Zhongqin is gone, and I need to use ice. I'll send someone to fetch a piece from his coffin."

"Master Hou..."

Ping'er was almost full of resentment.

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

Seeing that Jia Qiang finally stopped talking and joking, Ping'er heaved a sigh of relief, and left with the silly Feng'er.

……

"Why did you come here? Didn't you just say that you have reached the door?"

As soon as Jia Qiang entered Rongqing hall, she heard Jia's mother ask.

Jia Qiang sighed, shook her head and said, "I heard on the way that the old man may feel that he is going to be ill soon, and he needs to use ice, so I'll ask someone to prepare it."

Mother Jia: "..."

Madam Wang: "..."

Aunt Xue: "..."

The adults were speechless, but the sisters of the Jia family were struggling so hard, especially Xiang Yun, who had always loved to laugh, pinched her thigh to stop laughing.

Gein just now, Sister Feng complained that the master of the East Road Court wanted to eat ice cream cheese so badly, but his son had no place to buy ice at this moment.

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

"Pooh!"

Annoyed and funny, Jia's mother scolded her with a straight face, "If you talk nonsense again, I will ask Ru Hai to discipline you!"

Jia Qiang snorted, and after meeting with Jia Mu and other elders, she casually sat down beside Baoyu's seat, and wondered, "Hey, why are you sitting here today? But I also found that this face is more eye-catching when sitting on the high platform." Is it conspicuous?"

"Pfft!"

"Hahahaha!"

Xiangyun really tried his best, but he couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud with his head upturned.

Although Baoyu's face got better, the bruises and redness were still not gone, and with the application of medicine, his appearance became more and more funny, but no one dared to make fun of it in front of Jiamu, Mrs. Wang and others.

I didn't expect Jia Qiang to speak so accurately when she came...

Baoyu stood up in embarrassment and wanted to drag and beat Jia Qiang. Jia's mother jumped up and said hurriedly, "Baoyu, don't be impulsive, don't hurt yourself!"

Jia Qiang was amused by this sentence, and looked at Jia Mu and smiled.

Jia Mu said angrily: "Are you still laughing? You know how to bully Baoyu all day long!"

Jia Qiang felt very wronged, and said to Aunt Xue: "My aunt came to judge. Baoyu wanted to beat me. I didn't even move, so I became a bully of Baoyu. In Yin Jiaxuan's charity hall, I want to wrestle with Ke and the king of the county. The Yin family didn't say anything. Why is Baoyu so precious?"

Mother Jia was taken aback when she heard the words, and quickly asked Aunt Xue, "Did he wrestle with the fifth prince at Yin's house?!"

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "It was the lord who first made fun of my brother... It's not really a joke, he said that my brother is better-looking than a girl, and you don't need to spend money to eat flowers and wine. I think he is a little envious... ..."

Sister Feng and her sisters laughed, but Mother Jia was still worried, and said, "Then he's going to wrestle with the prince? Have you done it yet?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Where can I do it? Mrs. Yin Jiatai persuaded me."

Only then did Jia Mu breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing Jia Qiang looking east and west and whispering something to Baoyu, she asked, "What's the matter?"

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

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Don't look at me like that. I just walked around a group of Yuanping heroes, all of them were full of evil spirits. My heart is still beating wildly at the moment. I need to eat something to suppress it." Shocking... If Baoyu walked around like this, he would have peed his pants a long time ago!"

Baoyu reaches out to fight Jia Qiang desperately, but Xiangyun grabs him.

Seeing them playful together, Mother Jia looked happy and asked Yuanyang to prepare some fruits.

Yuanyang went down, and when she saw Jia Qiang pressing Baoyu's face back with one hand, she asked with a smile, "What would you like to eat, Master Hou?"

Jia Qiang asked, "What's there?"

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

Jia Qiang asked sincerely, "Is there any watermelon?"

Yingchun couldn't hold back her smile and said angrily, "Brother Qiang was really frightened today, so naughty!"

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

Jia's mother was curious on it: "What are you doing in the pile of heroes in Yuanping today?"

Jia Qiang thought about it, but still told the truth, and said, "Didn't Baoyu be beaten by Uncle Zhongqin's son Yang Lu in the Juyue Tower earlier?"

Jia Mu frowned and said, "Isn't this 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 Mother Jia, and said, "What did I provoke him for, but Yang Lu died suddenly today."

Hearing these words, the Rongqing hall was suddenly quiet, and then many people turned pale.

Mother Jia was also terrified, unable to speak for a while.

Jia Qiang wondered, "Didn't my aunt tell you?"

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others all looked at Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue said confusedly, "I didn't really hear it at the time, and I didn't mention who died 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 Embroidery Guard and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have already solved the case."

Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yan Hai, and then said angrily, "Then what are you saying to scare us?"

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "I was taken aback at first... By the way, Zhao Guogong Jiang Duo's piece of old ginger insisted that I send some ice to the Yang family. He said that the Yang family did not have much money. They are all poor."

Mother Jia didn't care about the forgetful Sun Zhisang and scolded Huai, and asked, "Aren't you stingy?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "I have already agreed. From now on, when Yang Lu and his father come back, I will send 20 yuan of ice five feet square to Yang's house every day."

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