Chapter 92 I want to ask you something personal
Qin Yuan returned to Wutong Garden and took out the account book to look through it again. When the housekeepers came, she had already read it all and copied down the problems in the account book, asking the shopkeepers to explain the discrepancies accordingly.

It’s not inconvenient since Gu Shiliu is not here.

Qin Yuan simply asked someone to find a chambermaid from her family. The man's surname was Shen and his given name was Changle. He was a smart man who could see in all directions and hear in all directions.

In her previous life, after she and Lin Ziqi arrived in Zhejiang, Shen Changle became the boss in charge of the gate at the government office, and many people had to look at his face.

But then something went wrong and that's why I was no longer there to serve you.

Just give a few casual reminders of things like giving a warning to a few shopkeepers and Shen Changle will understand.

Qin Yuan called him over and asked Hongye to hand him the box containing the account books, saying, "These account books were remade by the shopkeepers of the dowry shop, and there are still many mistakes and omissions. It was lenient not to punish them last time. If these mistakes and omissions cannot be explained now, let them settle the accounts and find another job."

Shen Changle was plump and looked very amiable. After taking the box, he asked, "Madam, are you knocking, or..."

Qin Yuan said, "Please keep an eye on it for me. If there are any people who are careless or not careful in their work, please report to me."

Shen Changle immediately understood that he was asked to pass on a message and see if these people could still be used, so he said, "Yes, sir."

After he left, Hongye asked quietly: "Why did you choose him, Miss? He doesn't seem to offend anyone..."

The implication is that he is afraid that Shen Changle will not be able to intimidate people.

Qin Yuan said, "I'm short of people to serve me. I need to try Shen Changle first to see if he can be used. As the saying goes, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Besides, the more friendly and easy to fool he looks, the less people will be on guard against him."

Hongye thought carefully.

Qin Yuan said: "Just watch more and you will get it slowly. There is no need to rush. Wait for him to come back and answer, and then you can listen from the side."

Hongye said gratefully: "I know that Miss is also cultivating me."

Without waiting for Hongye to continue, Qin Yuan nodded and said, "I'm glad to know."

When Hongye gets excited, he will make many promises.

She had already developed calluses in her ears from listening so much.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Generally speaking, Hongye is loyal and capable, and that is enough.

Cui Ming came in and urged, "The housekeepers are waiting outside. Madam Lu and Madam Li are both here. Miss, do you want to talk to them?"

Mother Li was found by Cuiming to share Mother Lu's work.

Outside under the shade of the trees, the tables and chairs have been set up, and tea, snacks, paper and pens are also ready.

As soon as they saw Qin Yuan coming out, everyone immediately stood up straight and assumed a very serious attitude.

Qin Yuan nodded to everyone, then sat behind the table and listened to Hongye's call of duty.

It's still the same old story.

Now the mothers in charge have made up their minds not to show up unless they have done anything wrong, so as to avoid being caught and punished by Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan glanced at the newly arrived Mother Li. She had a somewhat proud look on her face, but she could also hardly hide her embarrassment.

He obviously wanted to push Mother Lu down, but he was hesitant and lacked confidence.

Qin Yuan asked, "Is there anything difficult to deal with in the sewing room?"

Mother Li hurriedly said, "Madam, everything is fine."

"Is this enough for the embroidery thread?"

"That's enough."

“Would you like to add some new categories?”

"I have counted the embroidery produced in previous years and estimate that this is roughly enough."

Mother Lu twisted her body in embarrassment.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "In that case, do your best."

Mother Li's face lit up and she smiled and said, "Thank you, ma'am."

"You should also thank Cui Ming. It was she who recommended you because she thought highly of you."

"Yes, thank you Miss Cuiming."

Mother Li felt that Cuiming was her mentor. She thought she would never have the chance to be a housekeeper in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, Miss Cuiming chose her among all the old women.

She should seize the opportunity.

Qin Yuan smiled and glanced at Mother Lu, whose face had turned purple.

The other mothers in charge took this as a warning and never dared to think of deceiving their masters again.

……

"I don't know what happened to Yuan'er. My mother didn't even send me a letter."

Lord Gu was bored staying in the camp and couldn't help muttering to himself over and over again.

When he went out, they also talked about the mothers in charge. I don’t know how his young wife handled it.

Could she handle it on her own without his help?
night……

Last night, he read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" all night long.

This cruel woman.

The more Gu Jinghui thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He put down the book in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the tent to watch the soldiers train.

It’s better not to look at it, but once you look at it, you will get angry.

"These bastards are just like those who haven't had enough food."

It's so listless so early in the morning.

What does it look like.

Gu Jinghui's whole body was filled with a chill, his lips were tightly pursed, and his sharp eyes shot out a fierce gaze.

If it were normal times, others would have been stunned seeing him like this.

But today, a few troublemakers remained unchanged, as if they did not feel his intimidation at all.

Gu Jinghui took a big step over, raised his foot and kicked forward, shouting angrily: “What’s that like?”

The soldiers who were about to counterattack heard the familiar roar and screamed in fear: "General, it's the general, the general is back."

Gu Jinghui: “…”

The soldiers did not dare to slack off, but the way they looked at him was strange, as if there was less awe and more of something else than before.

Gu Jinghui said angrily: “All of you, get out of the line and squat under the pole. If you don’t behave yourself, you won’t have lunch.”

The few people who were called had no choice but to shout slogans and run under the poles to do horse stance.

As the sun rose higher and higher, the tiredness I felt just now was swept away.

Gu Jinghui turned around and received many curious glances. Then he went back to the tent with his hands behind his back and sat down.

Pick up the book and put it down again.

Gu Jinghui propped his forehead with his hand. How come the life he had been accustomed to since his youth suddenly became unbearable?

"General, Admiral Jin wants to see you."

"Come in," Gu Jinghui sat up straight and answered solemnly.

Admiral Jin, who was tall and strong, with a full beard like a black bear, walked in and said with a smile: "The subordinates have collected some money and asked the kitchen to make something good to congratulate the Marquis on his wedding. They specially recommended the subordinates to come and invite the Marquis. The Marquis must do the honor."

Birthdays, happy events, etc. are all good opportunities for officials to give gifts to their superiors.

Gu Jinghui doesn't care much about these things.

Getting married is a big deal, I can't just refuse it.

Gu Jinghui readily agreed. Admiral Jin smiled and said, “My Lord, are you willing to shave your beard after getting married? I was wondering why there is suddenly a handsome young man in this camp.”

He returned to the tent late yesterday and did not show up for duty. People who saw him only chatted with a few of them and did not dare to say anything.

What Admiral Jin said was just an ordinary flattery.

But after hearing this, Gu Jinghui’s handsome and cold face showed some distress, but also a hint of sweetness that was almost invisible as he said, “I didn’t want to shave it at all, but my wife is young and looks delicate, so I was afraid that it would scare her, so I had to shave it.”

Seeing his expression, how could Admiral Jin not know that Lord Gu was very satisfied with his wife.

Thinking of his wife's evaluation of Marquis Dingbei's wife, Brigadier General Jin narrowed his eyes and moved closer to Marquis Gu, wanting to ask him some personal questions.
