Chapter 9 Mrs. Zhou

On the way back, the atmosphere in the carriage became much lighter without Qin's mother's urging voice.

Guyu opened the curtain and took a look outside. He saw that the shadows on the ground were almost invisible. He couldn't help complaining loudly: "It's true for the Jiang family. It's almost noon. They called us over, but they didn't even have lunch." Who are you if you don't leave us to eat?"

After going back to the Hou Mansion and tidying up again, I don’t know when I will be able to eat!
It's fine if she's hungry, but what will Madam do if she's hungry?
Thinking of this, Gu Yu cursed the Jiang family viciously in his heart.

Jingzhe observed Jiang Fuyue's expression, and when she saw her expression was calm, she felt relieved: "Okay, that's the only meal you need?"

She didn't know that Jiang Fuyue had lived a lifetime, but she only knew that the Jiang family was different from the Hou Mansion. It was the place where Jiang Fuyue grew up. Although things have changed now, Jiang Fuyue would inevitably still be in the Jiang family. There will be nostalgia.

What Gu Yu said now might make Jiang Fuyue think too much.

Although Gu Yu couldn't think of so much at the moment, he was very clever. He knew that he had said the wrong thing when he saw the look in Jingzhe's face and quickly kept silent.

"What's so delicious about the Jiang family's food?" Jiang Fuyue curled her lips indifferently, "Let's go to Xiaozhulou."

The cook who used to be the best cook in the Jiang family is now in the small kitchen of Shaoguangyuan. The food in the Jiang family today cannot taste half as good as before, and it is better to go to a restaurant.

Guyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiaozhulou is great! Grilled pork ribs with bamboo shoots, stir-fried bamboo shoots with green peppers, chicken soup with fresh bamboo shoots, and roasted chicken with red-shelled bamboo shoots... It's strange to say that the seasons for these bamboo shoots are different, Xiaozhulou It’s amazing that we can find them all!”

"Hurry up and wipe your saliva. Don't drown us in a while!" Jingzhe handed her her handkerchief in disgust, "You get excited when it comes to food, and you talk eloquently. That's what you're capable of. !”

Jiang Fuyue didn't have much of an appetite at first, but when she heard Gu Yu announce a bunch of dish names, she suddenly felt like her stomach was about to rebel.

Seeing this, Jingzhe lowered his head, pursed his lips and smiled, and ordered the driver to drive the car faster.

-

The small bamboo building is located in a quiet bamboo forest. It is a three-story small building. Although it looks a bit quaint from the outside, it is also very elegant. The building is not decorated with artificial ornaments and is mostly decorated with green plants. , but it has a little more spiritual energy that is not found anywhere else.

This place only receives the rich and powerful, so those who can come to eat here are of a very high status.

The shopkeeper had just ushered a customer in. He turned around and saw Jiang Fuyue getting off the car in front of the door. He hurriedly greeted her: "Mrs. Hou! What a rare visitor! There is a private room reserved for you upstairs. Please come quickly!"

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu." Jiang Fuyue nodded as a greeting, and walked upstairs with Jingzhe and Gu Yu.

Soon, a table was set with all kinds of delicious, tasty and delicious dishes. Jiang Fuyue was so greedy that she completely put her unhappiness behind and began to concentrate on enjoying the food.

The three masters and servants had a good meal, walked around in the bamboo forest to eat, and then returned to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as he returned to Shaoguangyuan, Gu Yu couldn't help but yawned: "Madam, I have loosened your clothes for you. You can sleep for a while."

They had just finished eating and wandered on the road again. Gu Yu was already very sleepy and had drifted all the way back.

Seeing her like that, Jiang Fuyue suddenly felt funny: "If you are sleepy, go back to sleep. Jingzhe will come back soon, and I have to look at the account book."

She has given full authority to the property of the Hou Mansion to the master of the mansion. Inspection has changed from monthly inspection to quarterly inspection. Now what she wants to inspect is the property in her dowry.

Guyu shook her head firmly and said, "That won't work, I have to stay with my wife!"

After saying that, Gu Yu sat aside, holding a pillow in his arms. He was too sleepy to lift his head, but he stubbornly refused to lie down.

Jiang Fuyue shook her head helplessly and had no choice but to let her go.

Jingzhe came back not long after, struggling to carry a book box with both hands, which was full of account books.

The bookcase fell to the ground with a thud, and Gu Yu sitting beside him was so startled that he sat up straight.

"Madam, I'll help you watch it together." Jingzhe said and sat down next to Jiang Fuyue.

Jiang Fuyue nodded, poured a cup of tea and set it aside.

Gu Yuqiang, who was drowsy at the side, worked up his energy and sat over, helping to polish ink and hand over account books.I watched this for two hours.

The sun was setting outside, golden light was everywhere, smoke was rising in the kitchen, and everyone was busy working on dinner.

In the study room of Shaoguang Academy, Jiang Fuyue frowned as she looked at the booklet compiled by Jingzhe.

Jingzhe thought she had done something wrong, so she quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam, did you write something wrong?"

Jiang Fuyue shook her head.

These industries are located all over the place, and most of them are located in lively towns, with only one difference.

Liangzhou.

The location is more remote than other places, but judging from the statistics, the money earned by Liangzhou Shop is no less than that of other places.

This is kind of interesting.

"Who is in charge of the shop in Liangzhou?" Jiang Fuyue picked up the tea cup on the side.

Jingzhe thought for a while and said: "It's a lady named Zhou. I still remember that this lady Zhou used to be the dowry of the late Madam. Then for some reason, she suddenly left the Madam and went to the Guan Shop in Liangzhou. Until now.”

Lady Zhou...

Jiang Fuyue had no impression of this person.

"Go and send a message to Liangzhou, asking Mrs. Zhou to hand over the affairs in hand and come to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Yes." Jingzhe responded, but did not leave immediately, "Madam, do you think Mrs. Zhou can be used?"

Jiang Fuyue nodded slightly: "To be able to achieve such success in a remote place like Liangzhou must be a talent."

It is a pity that such a big talent should be placed in a small place like Liangzhou.

She has already thought about it. If she wants to have the initiative, she must first have money.

Therefore, this talent must come to Beijing for her to use.

"But please remember, we don't have a shop in the capital, right?" Jingzhe said.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

"It's okay. I haven't used the money for packing the boxes much. I still have money to buy a shop," Jiang Fuyue said. "We have to wait for Mrs. Zhou to come to Beijing for the details. We will discuss it later."

"Yes." Jingzhe responded, then turned around to write a letter.

"Wait a minute," Jiang Fuyue suddenly called out to her, "Forget it, I'll just write it myself."

This week, Madam Zhou has worked hard for several years in Liangzhou to build her current foundation. Now she rashly asks people to give up her hard work and return to the capital to start over. I'm afraid she will make people unhappy.

Although she is a servant, she is expected to be at her master's command, but what if the lady arrives in the capital that week and refuses to do her job with all her heart?

Guyu neatly laid out the letter paper and handed the pen to Jiang Fuyue.

Jiang Fuyue thought for a moment and considered the words before writing.

She quickly wrote the letter and Jingzhe mailed it in person.
