Chapter 915: Chapter 915 Idle Talk_1
Fan Linong, as a tribune, had his own private room, which these past few days had been occupied by Yang Wang. Now, it had been given to Yang Wenxiao.
Sitting on the warm fire Kang bed, Yang Wenxiao nodded contentedly, “This fire Kang is indeed marvelous.”
Yang Hao was sitting on the other side of the Kang table and smiled upon hearing this, “I heard from the folks below that, before this big snowfall, Zuixian Building and Jiwei Residence had already installed fire Kangs for half of Daqi’s populace, whether poor or rich. A single fire Kang was only making a profit of five hundred wen.”
“With these fire Kangs, people should not freeze to death this winter.”
In previous winters, the poor who lacked clothing to keep warm, would always end up freezing to death. Even in the Capital City region, there were always reports of frozen deaths on Emperor Yongan’s imperial case reports every year.
But this year was different. Now, as long as a family had a few hundred wen, they could build a fire Kang.
Those too poor to afford the green bricks could simply use some earth bricks, saving on the cost of materials and only needing to pay the labor fees to Zuixian Building and Jiwei Residence.
Although Zuixian Building and Jiwei Residence were spread throughout the entirety of Daqi, their manpower was limited. Building fire Kangs needed to be done not only in Prefecture City but, more importantly, for the vast numbers of rural folk. They had to travel through the countryside and enter villages, which slowed down the process significantly.
But even if the efficiency was slow, in another month, all citizens of Daqi who wished to build one should be able to do so.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao chuckled and nodded, “Qiao Xiaomai has indeed done a great good deed.”
“Indeed,” said Yang Wang, who stood by and immediately joined in, “Grandpa Emperor, Miss Qiao has no idea about the Tong Family’s collusion with the Prime Minister in their treason. What she thinks about every day are only things related to food and the common people’s basic needs.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai quickly spoke up, “I dare not accept such words from Prince Duan, Your Highness. As a commoner woman, all I think about daily is my own family’s sustenance.”
The common people’s sustenance?
She wasn’t a member of the Yang Family. Why would she concern herself with such matters?
Her hands surely weren’t that divine!
Yang Wang’s words might seem like praise, but in reality, they were digging a pit for her!
Yang Wenxiao listened, glanced at her, and said, “It’s been a while since I’ve tasted your cooking. Go to the kitchen and see what you can bring back.”
Qiao Xiaomai hurriedly agreed.
Before leaving, she glanced at Tong Sanlang with some worry.
Noticing her concern, Yang Wenxiao said, “Don’t worry. Investigating a case needs a process. Even if he is guilty, procedures must be followed.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai pressed her lips together, managing a strained smile, “You are right.”
She looked at Tong Sanlang once more before leaving the room.
She didn’t use the guards’ kitchen; she went back to the manor.
The claim that a simple step could trigger an explosion was clearly a lie from chief Gu. These last few days, livestock had been running all over the Courtyard, and the manor was very safe.
Moreover, when she entered the manor, two of Yang Wenxiao’s palace maids followed her, further confirming her suspicions.
Once in the kitchen, she had the two palace maids assist her as she quickly prepared four servings of snacks, as well as Taro Ball Milk Tea. After everything was ready, she placed them on a tray and quickly headed for Fan Linong’s room.
After entering the room and placing the tray on the Kang table, she realized Tong Tiehu had arrived.
Given what had happened, it made sense to call Tong Tiehu over.
Gathering her thoughts, she spoke up, “This teapot contains Milk Tea. Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor, you and His Highness the Crown Prince can have some first to warm your stomachs.”
