Chapter 44: Muscles Under Clothes

After returning from Wanhe Tower in the evening, Jiang Yueyao burned all the paper money bought by Aunt Chun for her mother.

She knelt in front of the paper basin, muttering to herself as it burned.

"I'll burn a large house for you this time, and I'll burn some maids and servants for you next time. If there's anything you want, just come to me in your dreams and I'll buy it and burn it for you."

"But don't sit idle either. Pei Yu is such an ungrateful bastard. He killed me once. If it weren't for God's mercy, I wouldn't have even been left with a bone."

"Mom, if you have any connection with the King of Hell, just take him away in advance."

"Let him be reborn as an animal in his next life."

"No, he's worse than an animal."

When Lu Hengqing was mentioned, Jiang Yueyao became so angry that her teeth itched and she started talking off topic until Su Lan reminded her that she remembered something important.

"I have now arrived in the capital, working under the Grand Tutor. You may not know this Grand Tutor Lu, but he is very handsome and kind-hearted. His words are not very pleasant to the ears, but that is nothing."

"I am currently the shopkeeper of a restaurant under his name."

"Mom, I just realized that managing a restaurant is much more tiring than running an inn. Yaoyao, I get up early and go to bed late every day, and I only make fifteen taels of silver a month..."

Sulan at the side spoke up.

"Fifteen taels is more than enough. Don't be too greedy."

"Hey, Sister Lan, why do you always speak up for him?"

Su Lan smiled and said, "Lord Lu treats us well, you can't speak ill of him behind his back."

The two chatted and laughed while all the paper money was burned.

Jiang Yueyao finally stood up and carefully wiped her mother's tablet with the handkerchief in her hand. After a long time, she spoke softly.

"My daughter doesn't want to get married again in this life. Now she's with Sister Lan and Aunt Chun...it's pretty good."

…

As soon as May arrives, the capital city suddenly becomes hot.

Jiang Yueyao went to find Lu Sui and suggested replacing several hot pot dishes that were popular in winter with dishes suitable for summer.

At that time, Lu Sui had just come out of the palace and was still wearing his official uniform.

He leaned on the soft pillow of the carriage, supporting his forehead with his hands, and relaxed and lazy.

Watching her speak.

"In the future, you can make your own decisions on these small matters. There is no need to ask for my opinion."

Jiang Yueyao poured him a cup of tea and said, "You mean, I will have full authority over all matters in Wanhe Tower from now on?"

"As long as there's no murder or arson inside, it's up to you."

"Great." Jiang Yueyao immediately became motivated. "Then can I recruit a few girls?"

Seeing Lu Sui looking at her, she quickly explained, "The diners at Wanhelou are half male and half female. Currently, all the waiters are male, so it's inconvenient to serve female diners."

Seeing that Lu Sui still didn't say anything, she became deflated.

"Don't agree? Then forget it..."

"When did I ever say I disagree?" Lu Sui put the spent teacup aside and spoke slowly, "This is a very good suggestion. Go ahead and do it. If you can't recruit a female servant, I can transfer the maids from the mansion over here."

"No, no, I have my own ideas."

Hearing her say this, Lu Sui became curious.

"What good ideas can you have?"

"Hehe... Sir, just wait and see. I will definitely make Wanhe Tower flourish and bring honor to our family..."

"Just shut up." Lu Sui had a headache. "That's not how idioms are used."

"oh."

Seeing the tiredness on his face, Jiang Yueyao asked with concern: "Is being a tutor tiring?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because every time I see you, I always feel like you're tired." Jiang Yueyao said as she moved closer, "Sir, let me give you a massage. I'm very skilled..."

As she spoke, she was about to start.

Lu Sui raised his hand to block it, his face darkening.

"Sit tight!"

Jiang Yueyao met his displeased gaze and immediately behaved herself.

Lu Sui looked at her and took a deep breath.

I wanted to say something, but I held it back and didn't say it out loud.

Finally, he just said, "I have something else to do, you go ahead and do it."

Jiang Yueyao stood up and got off the carriage.

She turned around to go back to the restaurant when she suddenly remembered something.

So he walked to the car window and looked at the man who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Sir, I heard there was a dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival. It was organized by the Crown Prince himself, and all the children of the noble families participated. Didn't you participate?"

Lu Sui didn't say anything.

Qingshu on the side laughed out loud.

"Of course the master will participate, but he is the referee, appointed by the emperor himself."

Jiang Yueyao was a little disappointed when she heard that.

"Referee...that's a shame."

"What's a pity?" Lu Sui suddenly opened his dark eyes and looked at her with displeasure. "What's wrong with me being the referee?"

"No, Master Taifu is of noble status, so the referee is naturally you." Jiang Yueyao blinked and glanced at him quickly. "It's just a pity that I can't appreciate Master Taifu's muscular body beneath his clothes..."

"Jiang, Yue, Yao!"

The sound of Lu Sui gritting his teeth came from behind.

Jiang Yueyao, who had already run away, didn't even turn around: "My lord, please come back soon. I will take time to appreciate your heroic performance as a referee on the Dragon Boat Festival..."

The veins on the man's forehead were popping with anger.

"Go and bring her back to me!"

Qingshu hurriedly advised him, "Master, why bother with the young lady? She hasn't been in such a bad mood with you for just one or two days."

Lu Sui endured it and threw down the curtain.

"Go back home!"

His breathing was unstable, obviously he was very angry.

Qingshu secretly enjoys

The master, who is usually calm, reserved, steady and self-controlled, would let out his emotions every time he meets a girl.

He thinks this is good.

A master like this feels like a living person.

…

Jiang Yueyao did what she said and posted a job recruitment notice at the door that afternoon.

Requirements: An unmarried girl between the ages of fifteen and seventeen, hard-working, smart and steady, good-looking, and with a sweet mouth.

As soon as the job posting was sent out, two girls who looked exactly the same came.

Jiang Yueyao looked at the two of them and fell into deep thought.

“How can I tell you apart?”

One of them said in a crisp voice, "My name is Xiaoya, and this is my elder sister, Daya. Daya has a small mole on the tip of her nose, and I have a mole at the corner of my eye. Shopkeeper, we are easy to tell apart."

After she said this, Jiang Yueyao took another closer look and found that there was indeed a little difference between the two.

"Would your family be willing for both of you to come?"

"I'm willing. We have a large family and life is difficult. We used to work in an embroidery workshop across the street, but the young master there is a bad guy who always comes to harass us..."

When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she decided to keep them on the spot.

only……

"The guests who come to Wanhelou for dinner are either rich or noble. Your names are a bit too perfunctory. Do you have a famous name?"

They both shook their heads.

Jiang Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, how about I give you a new name?"

"Okay." Xiaoya was the most lively and became happy on the spot. "My parents said that we were born to lose money and never thought of naming us. If the shopkeeper could give us sisters new names, I would be very grateful."
