"Yes, you can pour a kettle of boiling water into it now, and it will still be hot tomorrow."

"Really? If it can stay hot all day, then when you go out in the winter, wouldn't you be able to drink hot water anytime? If you make a pot of tea and bring it with you, you can also drink hot tea anytime?"

"Of course you can. I'll give you this thermos cup as a gift. You can also make some ginger water to keep warm."

"Good! Good, good, good! This is really a rare treasure! Thank you so much, girl, for always thinking of grandpa in everything."

The old man held the thermos cup in his hand and couldn't let it go. He imagined that after returning to northern Xinjiang, he would no longer be afraid of going out on cold days without hot water to drink.

Carry a pot of steaming hot water, hot tea or ginger soup with you and take a sip of it in the cold wilderness. It will warm you from the inside out!

My granddaughter-in-law is such a considerate and kind girl!

But he didn't understand, this was clearly a kettle, why was it called a cup?

But these are all minor issues that are not a big deal. Maybe that’s how foreigners call it! It’s fine as long as it works!

After drinking two cups of tea, the old prince straightened his expression and said to Qiao Ran:

"Girl, I asked the Imperial Observatory to choose a good day in the near future. Five days later, I want to hold a good engagement banquet to let everyone in the capital know that you are the future mistress of our Dingbei Palace, so that those who have other plans will give up their thoughts. What do you think?"

Qiao Ran nodded: "Grandpa Mo, I will listen to you."

In fact, Qiao Ran didn't care whether there was an engagement banquet or not, but the old prince was right, the engagement was originally meant to put an end to the thoughts of certain people, so the more grand the better.

Let everyone in the capital and even in Daiyue know that she is engaged to the prince of Dingbei. On the one hand, it will discourage those people from having an arranged marriage. On the other hand, it will also be a form of protection for the family and villagers in Devil Valley. After all, not everyone is willing to make enemies with the Dingbei Palace.

Seeing that Qiao Ran had no objection, the old prince was also very happy.

Although he knew that the engagement of the two young people was only a temporary measure, he was selfish and wanted everyone to know that the girl from the Qiao family was his future granddaughter-in-law, so that no one would covet his favorite future granddaughter-in-law.

Moreover, after spending more time together in the future, maybe his clever and naive grandson could really impress this girl and make her become his granddaughter-in-law?

After coming out of Dingbei Palace, Qiao Ran went to Juxianlou again.

When Shopkeeper Chen heard that Miss Qiao wanted to buy a shop, he immediately and enthusiastically took her to find a broker.

On the way, Shopkeeper Chen explained:

"Miss Qiao, this broker named Chen is actually a distant relative of mine. I have had a lot of contact with him. He has a lot of good houses and shops. I will take you to him. If you want to buy a house or a shop in the future, you can go directly to him. Don't worry, he won't dare to ask a high price for the person I take you to."

"Thank you very much, Manager Chen! I will buy a shop first this time, and I will definitely buy other shops and houses in the future."

"No need to thank me, it's just a small favor. By the way, what are you going to use this shop for? If you want to do small business, you don't need to buy such a big shop, just a small single storefront will be enough. In this capital city, every inch of land is worth a lot of money, don't waste your money."

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for reminding me. I want to buy a bigger one, preferably one that's the size of two or three ordinary shops."

"Is it this big?"

Shopkeeper Chen was a little surprised.

He knew the prices of shops in the capital. An ordinary-sized shop would cost at least three thousand taels of silver.

Miss Qiao wants a shop as big as two or three ordinary shops all of a sudden, so wouldn't that cost at least ten thousand?
