On the way back in the carriage, the princess stared at Jiang Yuan holding a token in his hand in a daze, and reached out to take the sign representing his identity, "Flying Tiger Battalion."

Jiang Yuan came back to his senses, "Yeah."

Qu Ying also raised her head from a box of golden head ornaments, "Yes, yes, deputy commander of the army, mother, let father go and talk to him, wouldn't it be better for A Yuan to follow father?"

The princess returned the sign to Jiang Yuan and tapped Qu Ying on the forehead again, "Your father thinks the same way. If he knew that Jiang Yuan went to the Flying Tiger Camp, he would probably ask the emperor for him.

A Yuan, what do you mean? "

Qu Ying pouted, "Mom, A Yuan wants to go to Huqiu Camp."

The princess sighed, "According to the emperor's order, the Fang family cannot move now."

Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't say anything and nodded silently, the princess continued, "Also, you returned to the capital to take up an official position in the army. I'm afraid that this matter will spread throughout the capital before evening.

You should go back to Jiang Mansion."

Jiang Yuan still didn't say anything, so the princess could only drop another message, "You can go back and watch the joke."

"What a joke?" Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying became excited at the same time.

"After you left the capital, the Prince of Jin married Jiang Wan. The Emperor granted the marriage, but the Prince of Jin eventually came to the palace to seek the Emperor's favor. He said that Jiang Wan's reputation was damaged and she was not fit to be the Prince's principal wife, so..."

"So, Jiang Wan is a concubine?" Qu Ying said excitedly and looked at Jiang Yuan happily.

"Yes, Jiang Wan is a concubine, and the Jiang family can only swallow this grievance. After the two got married, they kept quarreling, and Qin Yunzheng has not married a wife yet.

I heard that Jiang Wan is staying in Jiang Mansion for more than ten days, but Qin Yunzheng has no intention of picking her up. "

I didn't expect that the eldest princess was so well-informed about gossip. I certainly couldn't miss out on such a joke.

Jiang Yuan returned to the Jiang residence first. His family had already received the news, thanks to that big mouth Lu Zhu, who went back early to announce the news. As soon as Jiang Yuan got off the carriage, he saw Brother Liu, who was in high spirits.

The house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and although there were only a few people around, it seemed quite lively.

"Miss, congratulations to the third female general of our dynasty. Do you want to hold a banquet today? I'll go to Tianxiang Tower to order the dishes. Miss, you haven't had the sweet and sour carp yet." Mo Hua chattered beside Jiang Yuan.

Thinking his idea was very good, Mo Hua made the decision on his own without waiting for Jiang Yuan to say anything. The menu was already ordered, and someone was already calling for Brother Liu to harness the carriage.

"Mo Hua is always busy. Miss, all the incense you made before leaving Beijing has been sold out. Will you come with me to check the account books and silver?" Zhishu walked to Jiang Yuan.

When they arrived at the study, Zhishu took out an account book, which was specially used for her records. The first page listed the quantity of all the incense, followed by the date, order details, money receivable, discounts, and the final confirmation of money received.

He recorded half of the account book, each entry was very clear, and at the end there was a total of 76,317 taels.

A small sandalwood box was opened, revealing a thick stack of banknotes and some silver.

"Zhishu has a natural talent for being a housekeeper." Jiang Yuan praised as he counted the silver.

Zhishu was a little shy. "I learned all this secretly from the old nanny in the mansion. The old nanny said that you should not be afraid of trouble when keeping accounts. You should record every item clearly. This way, it will be convenient to check later."

After counting the silver, Jiang Yuan took out a silver note of 100 taels, "Twenty taels for each of the four of you, and the remaining twenty taels for Brother Liu."

Zhishu was not polite. He took the banknote and carefully put it in his arms.

"From now on, you will still be in charge of this business. After I make the incense and count the quantity, you can register and all orders will be delivered to you."

Zhishu nodded in agreement. She also enjoyed doing this.

"Also, we need a housekeeper to take care of all the expenses in the mansion. We are short of people now, and my brother has just been an official. He hasn't received his salary for two months, so it's not a big deal to spend it as he goes along.

The household accounts must be managed in order, how about you take on the job of housekeeper?"

Now Zhishu didn't dare to agree casually, and was a little panicked and worried, "No, no, young lady, I have never managed a household before, and the housekeeper always has to find an old man who has been employed for many years, don't worry."

"My brother and I are so young, why would we need old people? My brother only has two servants by his side, and they were bought when he moved out of the mansion.

Among those around me, Chunzhi is reliable but cannot keep accounts. Luzhu’s personality makes her unsuitable for being a housekeeper, and they are both young.

The eldest princess gave you and Mo Hua to me, and the indenture was also transferred to my hands. You came from the marquis's mansion, so naturally you have seen the world.

If there is anything you don't understand or are unsure of, feel free to ask me. There is no need to be as complicated as that big house. As long as every detail is accounted for, it will be fine.

In addition to the monthly salary, you will receive a separate housekeeper fee."

Zhishu lowered his head and twirled the handkerchief in his hand. After a while, he made up his mind and looked at Jiang Yuan, "Okay, young lady, trust me. I will definitely do this job well. Please rest assured, young lady."

"Okay, since you're a butler, you have to act like one. Choose a yard, move there, set up a warehouse to store things, and you keep one key and I'll keep one.

In the future, when there are more people and more things to do, I will add more helpers for you."

"Well, girl, I'm afraid to sleep alone. Can you let sister Chunzhi sleep with me?"

"Okay, whatever you want. You can have all three of them move over there."

After the explanation, Luzhu's voice came in, "Miss, General Xie is here."

When I went out to take a look, I saw that not only Xie Yunxiao, but Xue Yangling was also there.

The two of them congratulated at the same time, "Congratulations, Master Jiang."

"The news spread too quickly." Jiang Yuan was a little surprised. Is the palace so unsafe? How could the news spread out so quickly like wings?

"Of course good news spreads quickly. The emperor's decree has been sent to the Flying Tiger Camp. I happened to be there and thought you would join the Qu family army." Xie Yunxiao handed the gift box in his hand to Zhishu beside him.

There was also Xue Yangling's gift box. "If I had known, I would have gone with you. Look, after I come back, it will be full of rewards."

"You'd better give up. Your father won't let you go." Xie Yunxiao put his arm around Xue Yangling's shoulders.

After pouring tea for the two of them, Jiang Yuan said to Zhishu behind him, "Go and invite your daughter, and invite the eldest daughter as well. Tell them that the two brothers are here and give them a small feast."

Zhishu bowed and left.

"Mo Hua went to Tianxianglou to order food. You guys happened to come. Would you like to have a drink together?" Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them.

Thinking of the joke he made last time when he drank too much, Xie Yunxiao's ears turned red, "Okay, but don't drink too much.

The emperor said that we should go to the Flying Tiger Camp on a chosen day. When will you go?"

Thinking about the princess' words, Jiang Yuan replied, "The day after tomorrow, I have to go to the Jiang residence tomorrow. When I come back, I have to go see my father who has benefited from it.

If I don’t give him some trouble, I will feel uncomfortable.”
