The beating was horrible, and the flowers were trembling with laughter. Everyone was curious about what happened.
Ask one by one.
Just ask the reason why the ice shop boy laughed wildly¡ª¡ª
The king of Nan'an County wanted to open an ice shop, and he gave them harsh words, telling them to close the shop.
? One pass ten, ten pass one hundred.
Soon, everyone will know about it.
Many people joked behind his back that the King of Nan'an was too arrogant, hitting a stone with an egg, and overreaching himself.
Drunken Immortal Building.
It was noon, and the downstairs was full of people.
When there are too many people, they gossip and gossip, and they are talking about the opening of the ice shop by the king of Nan'an County.
"The price of this ice is too expensive. If there is a big ice shop, maybe the price of ice cubes can be lowered," someone said.
"It is indeed a good thing to lower the price of ice cubes, but where do these ice cubes come from?"
"Songji ice shop has been in operation for ten years, and the ice sold this summer is stored in winter. Where does the king of Nan'an get ice for sale?" someone asked.
"Could it be that the king of Nan'an County planned to sell ice early in the morning?" Someone asked curiously.
"Absolutely not. A few days ago, the king of Nan'an County even sent a boy to buy ice. The Songji Ice Shop saw that he was close to Dongxianghou's mansion, so he refused to sell it to him Well, it's not that he didn't sell it, it was a piece of ice ten taels The king of Nan'an County doesn't buy silver."
"Twelve taels?!"
"It's not ten taels. Now there's a quarrel, and Songji ice shop has said that even twenty taels will not be sold to Nan'an County King."
""
These words floated up to the second floor word by word.
In the private room¡ª¡ª
King Nan'an was eating with several colleagues.
King Nan'an's face was gloomy, Lord Li who was sitting on his left looked at him and said, "Doesn't the Prince of the County know that behind the ice shop is Duke Chongguo's Mansion?"
King Nan'an didn't speak.
Mr. Zhao, who was sitting across from him, said, "Ever since Dongxiang Hou came to Beijing, Lord Chongguo suffered setbacks one after another and became more irritable. Although the ice shop is just a drop in the bucket for Duke Chongguo's mansion, it's hard to guarantee that Lord Chongguo won't take it to heart. He is very powerful in the court, the prince"
King Nan'an frowned, and said, "This must be a rumor. After being robbed by the young master of Zhen Guogong's mansion, the dog's money is difficult to eat. How can he have money to buy a shop? Let alone selling ice?"
Before the words fell, there was a commotion downstairs.
Someone shouted, "The king of Nan'an County is here!"
The King of Nan'an, Chu Shun, Beining Hou Shizi and the young master of Dingguo's mansion walked in.
Personable and imposing.
The clerk of Zuixianlou greeted him and said, "You guys haven't come to our Zuixianlou for dinner for a few days."
The folding fan in Chu Shun's hand knocked on the boy's forehead and said, "Do you still know why we haven't come to eat these few days?"
The little guy smiled like a flower.
The young lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion asked the emperor for two royal cooks, and they took them back to the mansion. There is an imperial cook in the mansion, who would be so stupid to come to Zuixianlou for dinner.
"Who are those masters here today?" The young man asked attentively.
The king of Nan'an swept his eyes and said, "The streets and alleys are talking about the king of this county opening a shop, and they are all saying that the king of this county is arrogant and hits a stone with an egg. Why can't the king of this county say a few words?"
Upstairs, Master Zhao looked at King Nan'an and said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's a rumor. The county prince clarified it in public. Even if Duke Chong is angry, he will disappear."
King Nan'an's complexion improved a bit.
Downstairs, someone said, "Could it be that the rumors are false, and the county prince didn't plan to open an ice shop at all?"
"The ice shop has been open for a few days," Nan'an County King said, shaking his jade fan.
""
Everyone was stunned.
This was admitted by the county prince himself.
King Nan'an's face was ashen, and the wine glass in his hand hit the table heavily, and the wine splashed out.
"The king of this county has always been humble and never hits a stone with an egg," said the king of Nan'an County.
""
Humility?
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched wildly.
Prince of the county, do you know how to write the word humility?
Do you know that you are openly provoking the Chongguo government?
Chu Shun patted Nan'an County King on the shoulder and said, "Get to the point."
King Nan'an laughed and said, "Everyone knows that the price of ice is two taels of silver. In a few days when our ice shop opens, it will be one tael of silver. The ice cubes are not small."
"Three days before the store opens, every 100 pieces of ice you buy will give you 10piece. "
""
This price is too touching.
Those who can go to Zuixian Tower to eat are from wealthy families, and the sun is scorching, and the house has to buy some ice to cool off the heat, and some food, it will go bad if it is not chilled.
Buying ice every summer is a big expense.
Some people didn't believe it, "Your Majesty, are you kidding us? One liang of silver and one piece of ice, and you will get a free gift if you buy more. You are no longer losing money, but paying for dirty clothes."
The hall roared with laughter.
The King of Nan'an was not angry, but only smiled, "Does the King of this county seem to be joking with you?"
"Not like," someone shook his head.
Someone laughed and said, "If it is really sold so cheaply, there will be more people buying it. Where can the prince of the county get so many ice cubes?"
"Since the king of this county said so, there is naturally no shortage of ice cubes to sell. Of course, if you sell thousands of pieces of ice a day, the ice shop will not be able to supply it. The weather is not hot and the demand is not that great, but the shop accepts reservations. One hundred taels of silver and one hundred and ten pieces of ice, when you want it, send someone to tell me, and the ice cubes will be delivered within two days."
"If you can't do it, the deposit will be refunded twice."
"The above words, the king of this county guarantees in the name of the Nan'an palace"
The king of Nan'an County was eloquent and eloquent.
Beining Hou Shizi patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to look up.
Upstairs on the corridor.
King Nan'an's eyes burst into flames.
King Nan'an, "!!!"
Mother!
Why is the father here? !
"Your Majesty, you are going to die this time," Beining Hou Shizi said sympathetically.
The king of Nan'an County held back and said, "Not only the king of this county, but also Beininghoufu, Jingguohoufu, and Dingguogongfu can all be guarantees."
A man walked up to King Nan'an.
His complexion is not much better than that of King Nan'an.
Marquis of Beining, "!!!"
Mother.
Why is his father here? !
The man is none other than the Marquis of Beining.
King Nan'an said angrily, "Nizi! Get the hell out of here!"
The king of Nan'an County was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't run away.
Because once you run away, what you just said is all nonsense, and it will be a laughing stock.
The king of Nan'an County went all out and said, "It happens that my father is here, and he will guarantee me for me!"
King Nan'an almost exploded his lungs.
Everyone, ""
The king of Nan'an wanted to have his son tied up.
The king of Nan'an County hurriedly said, "Father, we only have half of the ice shop, and the other half belongs to the young lady of the Duke of Zhen's mansion. Don't ask someone to seal up the shop. There are some lessons from the past, so we can't ignore it."
"I won't be going back to the Prince's Mansion these few days, you and the concubine take care of yourself!"
Before the voice fell, the person had already run away.
It was not only him who fled, but also Beining Hou Shizi.
The Young Master of Dingguo Mansion looked at Chu Shundao, "The two of them ran away, what should we do?"
Chu Shun sighed, "I'm sure I'll be beaten badly when I return home, so let's hide for now."
"Is there any place to hide from being found?" The young master of Dingguo Mansion has already felt the power of his feather duster.
