When he woke up in the morning, Gu Zhao was lying on the bed, and Qin Chen had already gone to the camp outside Beijing to be on duty.

After a while, Gu Zhao got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

In such weather, warm water is suitable for bathing. After taking a bath, Gu Zhao felt fully recovered.

When I returned to the room, I saw that all the bed sheets and other items had been replaced with new ones.

There were also two barrels of ice made from saltpeter in the room.

In such a hot summer, there are two buckets of ice in the room, which reduces the temperature in the room by several degrees.

"Has it been delivered to the old lady and the lady?"

"In reply to the master, it will be delivered on time every morning and afternoon."

Old Madam Qin and Lady Qin were talking in the hall. Looking at the four buckets of ice, Old Madam Qin said with a smile.

“I didn’t expect to use ice so early this year.”

"Mother, this is all thanks to Zhao'er. These ice cubes are not from our ice storage. They were sent by her..."

Old Madam Qin was a little surprised to hear what her eldest daughter-in-law said.

"Are all the ice we use Zhao'er's own? This must have cost a lot of money. When Zhao'er comes later, we have to give her some money."

Both Old Lady Qin and Marquis Qin's wife were from aristocratic families. When they married into Marquis Qin's mansion, they didn't have a dowry of ten miles, but it was not much different. When the first load of dowry arrived at Marquis Qin's mansion, the last load had not yet left her parents' home.

Therefore, Old Madam Qin and Lady Qin Hou have a lot of private money now.

"You are right. My daughter-in-law also plans to do so."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed for a while, and after a while, Gu Zhao came to the east courtyard to pay his respects.

"I've met my grandmother and mother."

Seeing Gu Zhao's radiant appearance, Old Lady Qin and Lady Qin Hou looked at each other. They both came from this period. They naturally knew what was going on with Zhao'er's appearance.

"Get up quickly."

After Gu Zhao stood up, he sat down on the chair next to him.

Mrs. Qinhou smiled and talked about the ice cubes.

"Zhao'er, we need a lot of ice every day. All this ice is provided by you. Grandmother and mother think that you can't pay for it..."

Mrs. Qin took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and handed it to Gu Zhao with a smile.

"Here's the money."

"Grandma, mother, I can't take this money. These ice cubes don't cost much..."

The few of them kept refusing for a long time. Even though Gu Zhao explained it clearly, Old Madam Qin and Madam Qin still wanted to give the banknote to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao had no choice but to accept the money.

Grandma Qin and her mother-in-law are so kind. They are always afraid that she will suffer losses and always think that she has no money to spend. Now, she has much more money than them. Even if she says she has money, her grandmother and her mother-in-law say that her money is her money and what the elders gave her is what the elders gave her.

After chatting with the elders for a while, Gu Zhao returned to the Prince's Courtyard.

The managers of each department in the mansion also came to report various matters.

After Gu Zhao had been busy for half an hour, the managers all left.

"Master, Miss Xixi is here."

Hearing that Qin Xi from his second uncle's family had arrived, Gu Zhao said with a smile.

"Please invite her in and prepare something she likes to eat."

"Yes."

Qin Xi followed his mother to pay respects to his grandmother this morning and then returned to his own courtyard. The masters in the mansion all used ice cubes. Each of them had two buckets of ice cubes, which could be used for several hours.

Her mother asked her to thank her sister-in-law.
