After the tiger attack, Xiao Huayong no longer had any plans to take Shen Xihe out for fun. Firstly, the Dragon Boat Festival was in two days. Secondly, it was already scorching hot in the imperial capital as the Dragon Boat Festival approached, and it was extremely difficult to find a cool and sunny day. Thirdly, the Dragon Boat Festival was a busy day, and he had to investigate who was the mastermind behind the tiger attack. In addition, he was busy with necessary government affairs and had no time to spare.
Shen Xihe is not afraid of cold but heat. The only advantage of being in the northwest is that the summer is short and there is no high temperature. Kyoto has just entered May. When he looked up, there seemed to be a heat wave floating in the air. Shen Xihe felt lazy all over.
Even before the wealthy families started using ice, Shen Xihe had already built an ice room every day, and Bu Shulin came even more frequently.
"Who isn't a delicate girl? Why do I have to be exposed to the wind and sun, while you can be cool and cool?" Bu Shulin held a bowl of Suheshan and ate happily while looking at Shen Xihe sitting on the couch covered with cold jade with his legs dangling and his back leaning against the comfortable hidden bag. He was jealous beyond recognition.
Both are daughters of kings of different surnames. Look at Shen Xihe, she is extravagant and wears light gauze without sweating. But she doesn't even dare to use ice because it is expensive. Anyone who dares to buy it in large quantities will be impeached.
Shen Xihe is different. She is not an official. She has her own fiefdom and Duhuolou! She makes her own money and enjoys herself. She can buy as much ice as she wants.
The wealthy families have illegitimate sons and concubines who do business, but not many of them make money like Shen Xihe. The key point is that Shen Xihe only makes money to support herself. Even her guards received salaries from the court, while these people have to support a whole family.
Some wealthy people dare not be the first to use their wealth before others do, for fear of arousing jealousy and being stabbed in the back by others.
Princes and princesses, His Majesty has not yet granted them the use of ice. If His Majesty can endure it, they naturally have to follow suit.
"Zhenzhu, get a mirror for Master Bu." Shen Xihe raised his head and ordered.
Zhenzhu took out a petal-shaped silver-plated copper mirror and handed it to Bu Shulin. Bu Shulin thought that she had eaten Su Heshan on her face, which was indecent. She looked carefully but found that there was nothing wrong. She moved the mirror away and looked at Shen Xihe in confusion.
Shen Xihe finished weaving the colorful thread and looked up at her: "Didn't you see your greedy face?"
Bu Shulin: …
It turns out she wanted to scold me. I’m so angry!
Shen Xihe is always like this. He never uses any dirty words when scolding people, but it hurts people's hearts.
"In previous years, even though I wasn't in Kyoto, you still managed to survive to this day, didn't you? Now that I'm in Kyoto, you can still come to my place openly to get some ice cream and some Suheshan ice cream. Isn't that much more comfortable than in previous years?" Shen Xihe picked up the bowl of black plum juice and took a sip.
She had just recovered, and both Zhenzhu, Sui Axi and Xie Yunhuai, who had written to her specifically to remind her, told her to avoid cold food and had to drink some black plum juice to quench her thirst.
Putting down the tea bowl, Shen Xihe said, "But you are not thinking about having a more comfortable life than in previous years, but that you are not living as well as I am. Tell me, are you greedy?"
Bu Shulin blinked, as if it was true.
He quickly took two more bites of Suheshan to wake his head, and then Bu Shulin said, "I miss the years when Mr. Tao was the imperial doctor."
When Tao Zhuanxian was the Imperial Doctor, the Censorate would impeach her from time to time, but it was never a big deal. Although it was called an impeachment, it was more of a hope that she would pay attention to her mistakes and correct them, and the words were not particularly aggressive.
