Ning Yue smiled. “I know how to make it.”
Crash…
The fragments in Uncle Su’s hand fell to the ground again. He looked at Ning Yue in shock. He didn’t expect this woman to not only be a divine doctor, but also know how to make ice!
What a genius.
The ice cubes were basically made in the winter and stored in the icehouse for use in the summer.
For various reasons, ice was not easy to store. Therefore, in summer, ice was a hot commodity. If Ning Yue could really make it, she would be a walking money bag!
Uncle Su looked at Jiang Ying eagerly, wishing he could agree on behalf of Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying did not agree or refuse. He had seen Ning Yue’s information. How could a young lady know how to make ice?
He couldn’t help but ask, “What are the materials used to make these ice cubes? Are they expensive?”
“Do you have saltpeter?” Ning Yue asked.
“What do you want that for?” Jiang Ying frowned.
As Xiaochi’s health had not been good since he was young, one of the medicines that Doctor Gu had prescribed for him was called saltpeter.
“Saltpeter is the most important thing for making ice,” Ning Yue said.
“Really?” Jiang Ying was surprised. He hadn’t known saltpeter could be used for making ice.
“How about this? I’ll go back and do it. When I’m done, you’ll know that my words are really true,” Ning Yue said.
“By the way, you said you wanted to look for your eldest aunt and second aunt’s families. Write down their names.” Jiang Ying pointed at his desk, indicating that Ning Yue could write them there.
Ning Yue nodded and walked to the desk. As soon as she picked up the messy paper on the table, she realized that her information was on the table.
She suddenly looked up at Jiang Ying. “Prince Jiang, is this information enough? I’ll tell you what else you want to know.”
It seemed that Jiang Ying already knew that she was the eldest daughter of the General’s residence.
Jiang Ying’s face was burning as if he had been discovered peeping.
“No…”
He wanted to tell Ning Yue that it was not like what she saw. He checked the information just to know if Ning Yue was Divine Doctor Gu’s disciple.
Unexpectedly, he found something that surprised him.
“Are you asking me if I’m the long-lost legitimate daughter of the General’s residence?” Ning Yue smiled at him.
“Yes, no, I just…” Jiang Ying didn’t know how to explain.
“I’m that legitimate daughter. The emperor once wanted to betroth me to you, but you were weak and ill, so he didn’t.”
At the side, Uncle Su was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out. Was this world so small?
This woman was actually the eldest daughter of the General’s residence who had almost become their crown prince’s fiancée.
“Oh my god, I need to take it slow.” With that, Uncle Su took the shattered teacup away, leaving the embarrassed Jiang Ying and the natural-looking Ning Yue standing there.
“Alright, I know what you’re thinking. I’ll write down the names of my First Aunt and Second Aunt’s families for you first.” As she spoke, Ning Yue wrote down a few names and handed them to Jiang Ying.
First Uncle was called Jiang Chang, and Second Uncle was called Li Jiang.
“Prince, I’ll bring the ice over tomorrow,” Ning Yue said.
After Ning Yue left, Jiang Ying stood where he was and stared blankly at the information on the table.
It was only when Uncle Su saw that something was wrong and came in to check on the situation that he came back to his senses. He had been standing for so long that his legs were numb.
“Prince,” Uncle Su called out to Jiang Ying.
“Call Ah Da in,” Jiang said.
Uncle Su, who wanted to comfort Jiang Ying, sighed and called him in.
“Master.” Ah Da bowed to Jiang Ying.
“Go and check the whereabouts of these people. Bring them back immediately,” Jiang Ying said.
“Yes.” Ah Da ran out like the wind.
Soon, Ah Da returned. “Master, the group of people you asked to find have already arrived at the Treasure Town under Laifu Village. Landlord Yu took pity on them and took them in to work. I’ve already informed him. He’s already sent someone over.”
Jiang Ying nodded. No matter what, he had to bring them to Ning Yue’s house first.
He arrived at the entrance to the village. In a moment, the iconic carriage of Landlord Yu appeared.
When the driver saw Jiang Ying, he stopped the car with a smile and walked up to him.
“Yo, long time no see. There are a total of fifteen people in this carriage. Silver please.” Landlord Yu stretched out his hands and asked Jiang Ying for silver.
“Don’t you know I’m poor?” Jiang Ying asked.
“Fine, fine, fine. I owe you. You didn’t even pay me for the children’s toys I bought for you. Tell me when you’ll pay me back,” Landlord Yu said unhappily.
“If I have money, I’ll pay it back.” Jiang Ying did not feel any pressure at all. Landlord Yu’s family had a lot of money. Their families were family friends, so what was Landlord Yu’s was his.
“Alright, I’ve never seen a prince as poor as you,” Landlord Yu muttered and handed the carriage whip to Jiang Ying.
