Chapter 72 Getting more and more interested
The five-day family leave has passed. In the morning, the second bedroom sent away the three young masters, while Mao stayed in the house to raise the baby and wait for the birth.
Huayang left the house through the back door and went to Zhaixing Tower.
"I didn't expect that Miss Hua's wealth would be so good. It looks like this year is going to be a rare hot summer. It's going to be hot more than 20 days earlier than in previous years. The price of ice cream will be increased in a few days."
Xiao Yan showed off the tea ceremony gracefully, while Hua Yang shook his fan vigorously, with a little sweat on his face:
"Why don't you use ice here? Are you willing to make your own ice?" She felt strange.
But looking at the person in front of me, he is still wearing two layers of robes but is not sweating.
Xiao Yan burst out laughing: "A calm mind naturally cools down. I've always been more tolerant of heat."
He pushed back the share-sharing note handed over by Huayang: "As agreed, Miss Hua's voice from now on will be counted as my shareholding."
"How do you know I will still have business?" Hua Yang was puzzled. This person seemed to be able to understand her thoughts very well.
"Isn't there?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.
Not wanting to play a riddle with him, Hua Yang directly admitted that she really couldn't do such a big business on her own anyway: "I plan to use the money I earned to hoard coal now, but it can't be stored in an icehouse as it will be affected by moisture."
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up: "That's easy to say, I have quite a lot of good warehouses under my control. You can ask Pan Wei to find Shopkeeper Xin when the time comes."
Huayang was curious. This man looked like a businessman. He was definitely not just the owner of the Star Building with such financial resources.
But I have never heard of a wealthy businessman named Xiao in Dazhou.
Moreover, the temperament surrounding this man did not have the shrewdness of a businessman, but instead had a temperament that was familiar to her.
A bit like Sima Jiao.
The noble aura of a king.
Who is this person?
She didn't ask. She and this person were not even friends, they were just doing business together. If she asked, they might not be able to tell.
What you say may not necessarily be the truth.
Xiao Yan was also secretly surprised under his usual indifferent and distant smile. This girl was very smart. Not only could she immediately think from this year's scorching heat that this winter would be a hundred-year cold winter.
And she was already suspicious of his identity, but she could suppress her curiosity and not ask any more questions.
He felt that he was becoming more and more interested in this girl. He had been carrying this responsibility since he was a child, which he was unwilling to bear.
There was never anything he really wanted until he discovered that he was interested in her.
Unable to bear the sweltering heat in the attic, Huayang left the Star-Zhaing Building, looked at Shopkeeper Xin who was walking to the door, and said, "Shopkeeper Xin, let the waiter come get ice every day from now on, the attic is too hot."
After taking another look at the attic, he turned around and got into the carriage.
Shopkeeper Xin also looked at the attic, but there was a surge in his eyes. Is the young master getting too close to the granddaughter of Master Hua?
After taking Qingquan back to the house, Banxia hurriedly reported: "Miss, Luo from the third bedroom took Miss Ying and the two concubines to the old lady's place. They have been crying for an hour."
This Luo Shi still refused to settle down and asked, "Have my mother and second aunt gone?"
Banxia shook her head, "Madam accompanied the Second Madam to the British Government House today, and she went with a thank-you gift."
Huayang knew that it was because of yesterday's incident that he combined Huayan and his second cousin's horoscopes.
After going through three letters and six etiquettes, the wedding date was set. It seemed that I would be dragged by my mother to see her in the near future. Otherwise, my sister would be in a hurry to get married before she was engaged, which would not be good news.
Thinking of Sima Jiao, that guy said he would come to propose marriage, but I don't know if it is true.
If it really came, how would my grandfather react?
He shook his head, threw these thoughts out of his mind, and went to Cangsongyuan with Banxia and Qingquan.
"Mom, it's my fault that I offended my sister-in-law. It was my greed that harmed the third wife. But these children are also Hua's flesh and blood. Why are you so cruel?"
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Luo Shi crying.
"If you have something to say, just talk about it. Don't bring your sister-in-law with you for everything." The old lady was so worn down by her that she lost her temper.
"Why can't we say it? We have neither left the clan nor separated our families. We have just given up the property in the mansion. My sister-in-law is cruel and refuses to send ice to the third bedroom."
"Third Aunt, you said my mother didn't send ice to the third room? Then I need to ask the servants, is it possible that the daily iceberg was swallowed up by the servants?" Hua Yang stepped into the main room.
Luo Shi stopped wailing, snorted, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears:
"That's a nice thing to say. There is only one iceberg every day. How can there be enough space for a population with three houses? It's a hot summer day again this year. Don't you want the lives of these children?"
"Third Aunt, every house here is like an iceberg. If you want more, each house will use its own private room to add more. Even Cangsongyuan is like this. Hasn't it been like this all these years?" Hua Yang knew.
Roche hasn't given up yet.
I want to get some money by using ice.
"In previous years, it was not so hot. In previous years, the children in the third room were too small and did not need so much ice. This year is different." Luo Shi glared at Huayang.
"The third aunt thinks there is not enough ice, so she can just buy it with her own money. Isn't it the same for other houses?" Huayang took over all the ice storage this year. Except for the common people, everyone else's prices were increased.
Including Washington, otherwise it would be easy to be found out, and other officials would cause trouble.
"What you said is nice. Do you know how expensive the ice is this year? It's already twice as expensive as in previous years. I heard it will double in a few days. How can I have the money to buy expensive ice every day?"
Luo Shi had already scolded Datong Trading Company in his heart. It was really too much. It controlled the price of ice in the whole capital, and even if he pretended to be a commoner to buy ice, it would not work.
"Mom, you know your daughter-in-law's dowry. If you don't save her, then let the children in the third bedroom die of heat." Luo Shi started to act rogue.
He didn't even look at Huayang, but just stared at the old lady, who kept crying and begging. Now it was impossible for her nephew to get married to Guo Yunxiang.
Her eldest sister-in-law also treated her badly, and Hua Zhenmin also completely disliked her. If only she could get some money or part of the property from the old lady.
Hua Zhenmin would even say cold words to her.
"Okay, okay, how much money do you want?" The old lady wanted to settle the matter, but she also felt sorry for the three children.
Luo Shi's eyes lit up, he held the handkerchief and said, "The money will eventually run out, and my daughter-in-law will have no shame in coming to complain to you again and again. Why don't you give us some of the property that was originally going to be given to the three families?"
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to wink at Hua Ying beside him, and then pinched the two bastards hard to make them cry louder and more miserably.
Hua Ying immediately understood and looked at the old lady pitifully: "Grandma, look at what the eldest sister is wearing, and then look at Yinger, there is no comparison. If the third bedroom has no family property, Yinger's dowry will be compared with her elder sister's in the future.
It’s too shabby.”
She has been influenced by Luo Shi since she was a child, and she hates Huayang and Dafang very much.
