Wen Wen Mian was very surprised and recognized that there was saltpeter in the big basin. He never took his fingers out of the small basin and could clearly feel the water getting colder.

"Saltpeter to make ice?"

"Yes." Wen Mianmian gave him the small stool he was sitting on, "Dad, let's wait together."

Wen Mian sat down and saw that Wen Mianmian continued to put raw saltpeter into the basin. At the same time, she used a small earthen jar to fill half a tank of water, put the small jar into the big jar, and poured enough raw saltpeter into it.

Pour water over the raw saltpeter...

He looked curiously, and at the same time he put his other hand into the small vat. After a while, the water began to freeze, and finally condensed into ice cubes.

"It's really magical."

Wen Shumian was shocked that he could get ice cubes with such a simple method.

"Mianmian, where did you know the trick?"

Wen Mianmian was touching her ice and repeated the excuse she gave to Wen Lingxiao yesterday, "I just wanted to give it a try, so I asked my brother for saltpeter. I didn't expect it to be so easy."

She turned her head mysteriously, "Dad, the hot summer is coming, can we sell ice?"

When Wen Mian saw the ice forming, he naturally knew the profit and asked softly: "Mian Mian is short of money?"

Wen Mianmian nodded honestly, explained her little bit of net worth, and said that the things on Zhenbao Street were good, but she had no money to buy them.

"We know that dad and brother have a lot of money to spend, so it's not good for us to always go after the neighbors. After all, we have to take what others have. If we have money ourselves, it will be a different matter."

"It's a pity that I don't know how to do business. If it weren't for it, I would have made money myself."

As soon as he said this, the clerk felt very distressed. He thought that it was enough to prevent his daughter from suffering any disadvantages and to let her have nothing to worry about. He ignored that his daughter was old and needed to have money in his pocket when he went shopping.

No wonder my daughter doesn't like to go out now. It's because he was too negligent.

"Dad, if you have money, I'll get it for you and send it to you soon."

Wen Mianmian shook her head repeatedly, feeling touched but also knowing that her father had misunderstood, "I'm not in a hurry to use money, I just think it would be good to have a way to make money."

He can give one to two hundred taels, but what about one to two hundred thousand taels or one to two hundred thousand taels?

Therefore, the money still needs to be earned.

Wen Wen Mian suddenly had tears in his eyes. How could his daughter be so distressed? No matter how hard it hurts, it wouldn't be enough.

Wen Mianmian came forward again and whispered about the gold dug out of the house. Wen Mianmian's eyes instantly turned red again, "Where is the gold?"

"Next door, the quality is not good. It needs to be melted before being sent over."

"Okay!" The clerk was overjoyed and said that he saw two magpies chirping at him on the way this morning. It turned out that he was happy.

Wen Mianmian whispered about what happened in the past few days after he left, and also told about Fu Li's inclusion in the newspaper, "The sample has come out, but I don't know if it has been printed."

The clerk Mian was very relieved and proud. How could his daughter be so capable? She had been smart since she was a child, and after she got sick, she used her intelligence wisely. No wonder the abbot of Yuan'en Temple said she was very lucky.

.

"Since the boy next door is back, you don't have to pretend to be sick. You don't have to worry about outside matters. Dad is here."

After saying that, he stood up and his eyes fell on the ice again, "Dad has also taken care of the ice making."

"Dad also brought you a basket of fruits. You can eat them slowly."

Wen Wen Mian went to Hanyuan to pay his respects to his mother. After the mother and son talked for a while, Wen Wen Mian started talking about the Liu family. His mother's attitude towards the Liu family was very subtle. That's why he wanted to make it clear, "Your Majesty, the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak.

The Liu family is too anxious. After all, it is the son’s mother-in-law, and the son will not let it go."

"My uncle's thoughts are clear to me, but I can't guarantee whether he will listen to me."

The old lady fiddled with the string of jade beads in her hand, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips, "Your uncle is not very capable but always wants to get into trouble, and his descendants are not outstanding either. You should keep an eye on him more and don't let them cause any trouble."

She had already understood the behavior of her parents' family back then, but they were still her relatives after all, and she still hoped that they would be safe and well.

"My son understands."

Seeing her son looking out of the house, the old lady asked, "I heard that the family is not well off. Has your father taken out the money that he took away earlier?"

The old lady didn't know that the old man had lost all his money, and she only thought that he still had a sum of money. The clerk nodded as usual, "I took it all out. I spent a lot some time ago, but it has slowed down recently."

Coming over."

The old lady nodded, "If it's not enough, just ask, I have some more here."

"I don't dare to touch my mother's body. The emperor has recently given me rewards, and the house is quite well off."

His mother's body was her own dowry, which was very small. How could he move? Speaking of which, it was his incompetence as a son that made his mother worried.

The old lady was reluctantly relieved and said, "Your father is here, go and say hello."

Wen Wen Mian was a little surprised. This was the first time in so many years that he heard his mother say that he was going to pay his respects to his father. What else happened in the past few days when he was away?

The old man in the next room knew that his son had arrived at Hanyuan, but he wanted to see him but did not dare to come forward. "It would be nice if Mianmian was here at this time."

"Father, do you want to see Mianmian for something?"

The old man was startled. When he saw the old man, he shrunk his neck again, and soon straightened his back. "That kid comes to practice calligraphy every day and has made great progress. I didn't come this afternoon, so I wanted to take a look."

Wen Wen Mian suddenly discovered that his father had changed a lot recently. His back was straightened and he seemed to be taller.

"How's your handwriting going?"

The old man took two pieces of paper from the desk and said, "I wrote this this morning."

Wen Shumian read it carefully, then went straight to the desk and read other words, "Were they all written by Mianmian?"

He knew his daughter's handwriting, and even he couldn't say that she was well-written against her will, but the handwriting in front of him was completely different from before, and he could barely handle it.

The old man was a little proud, "My child is very hardworking. He comes to practice calligraphy every day and is very focused."

The clerk Mian saw another piece of writing on the table, which was majestic and majestic. He picked it up curiously. The old man was a little nervous and said sarcastically: "I wrote it when I had nothing to do."

Wen Shumian felt that he needed to get to know his father again. In terms of calligraphy, there are not many people in Kyoto who can surpass him, right?

"Father, please spend more time teaching Mianmian in the future."

The old man's back straightened even more, "Don't worry, I won't hide anything."

Before leaving, Wen Wen Mian talked about the tens of thousands of taels that were defrauded, "I didn't tell my mother about this, so don't let it slip, and the results have already been obtained. The 70,000 taels will be sent back in the next two days.

"

The old man nodded repeatedly and felt happy when he learned that the money was coming back. "Let your wife keep the money."

He doesn't dare to take care of money anymore.

The clerk thought for a while and then said: "I will give you a thousand taels when the time comes. This man should have some money on him."
