Chapter 61 Why Are You Here Again?

Back at the prince's courtyard, Jiang Jiu took the lantern and said, "You should go and have a rest too. You don't have to wait on me. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. I can't leave the palace, so you have to be my messenger."

Xia Zhi's room is with Nanny Qian, so she can't serve Jiang Jiu, and she is worried.

But after all, she was in the palace, so she felt at ease.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Jiu just came to the corridor, he saw a person hiding behind the pillar. He was startled, but reacted quickly.

"Lu Yunyang, are you childish? Your shadow is already reflected, yet you are still hiding..."

Sure enough, Lu Yunyang jumped out from behind the pillar, touched his nose, and was very disappointed.

"How boring! I wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect you to see through me so quickly."

Jiang Jiu held his forehead and said, "Boss, this is the palace, it's your territory. Who else but you dares to be so scary?"

Yes, Lu Yunyang smiled uninhibitedly and put his hands on Jiang Jiu's slender waist.

"I'll sleep with you this afternoon, and you should accompany me at night..."

Huh? This...

Without saying anything, Lu Yunyang held Jiang Jiu's waist and went straight into Jiang Jiu's room...

"My room is small. You have so many rooms in your palace. Why do you have to sleep with me? Do you have to make this relationship a reality?"

The house was clean and tidy. Lu Yunyang had people move all of Jiang Jiu's frequently used things in. Although it was called an ear room, it was larger than Jiang Jiu's house.

Lu Yunyang sighed heavily: "There is no way, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. I dare not sleep in my room. I can only lie there and take a nap during the day."

Looking at the helpless Lu Yunyang, Jiang Jiu thought of the assassination. She was too easily soft-hearted, and her heart softened as expected.

"Okay, okay, then go to sleep. Let me make it clear first, just sleep with you, don't try to take advantage of me. You've ruined my reputation, my innocence is gone, how can I get married in the future?"

The maid brought hot water to the door. Jiang Jiu took the water and poured it for Lu Yunyang to soak his feet.

Lu Yunyang pursed his lips and smiled secretly. He found that as long as he showed weakness, Jiang Jiu would be easy to talk to.

"I'm going to put some bowls of water in the middle, and you are not allowed to cross the line..."

Lu Yunyang rolled his eyes speechlessly. He had seen Jiang Jiu's sleeping posture in the afternoon, and he didn't know who would cross the line in the evening.

That night, miraculously, Lu Yunyang had a really good sleep next to Jiang Jiu. When he woke up, it was already daybreak and he felt more peaceful than ever before.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Jiu combing his smooth long hair in front of the dressing table beside the bed. When he woke up, he gave him some earnest instructions.

"I have to go out of the house today, so I can't accompany you. I'll take you to Mudan and the others later, and we'll be back at noon."

Solid, careful, and soft-spoken, for a moment, Lu Yunyang felt that he and Jiang Jiu were just like a normal couple, no longer disturbed by the court, no longer worried about being assassinated...

The years were so peaceful and beautiful, he wanted to keep this moment.

Hearing Jiang Jiu's words, the maids came in to help Prince Qi dress, wash, and eat.

When Jiang Jiu brought Lu Yunyang to the side courtyard where Mudan and the others lived, the resentment on Lu Yunyang's face had never dissipated.

Even Lu Ming who was standing by couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"My Lord, Miss Jiang is only gone for the morning. She's not not coming back. You look so gloomy, as if you've been abandoned. That's not the case."

Lu Yunyang glanced at Lu Ming gloomily and said, "Let's talk about it later. I will send Nichang to the palace."

Lu Ming tactfully shut his mouth.

The courtyard where Mudan and her friends lived was not far away. There were two courtyards connected to the west, all of which belonged to them.

As soon as they saw Jiang Jiu coming, Mudan and Haitang flew towards him like butterflies.

"The young lady is here. The young lady sees us coming."

"Young Madam, you have changed and become more and more beautiful."

The eight concubines surrounded Jiang Jiu, chattering, and left the main person Lu Yunyang aside.

"Whose concubines are these people?"

Seeing this, Lu Ming was upset again. He half-clenched his fist and pretended to cough to remind them.

"It's not their fault. Although the prince saved their lives, they are his concubines, but Miss Jiang taught them how to make money..."

Since we are alive, we should live with dignity.

She is Mr. Lu in name, but in her heart she is Mrs. Lu. Is there a conflict? No.

Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu are a family.

At this time, Mudan discovered that Lu Yunyang was also behind her.

He was slightly startled, then quickly signaled to everyone else to kneel down and salute King Qi.

"I pay my respects to the prince."

Lu Yunyang frowned. He also wanted to know why these concubines listened to Jiang Jiu so much.

"No thanks."

Jiang Jiu held Haitang's hand and smiled: "I think Xia Zhi has already explained the details to you yesterday. For the time being, you can just play with the prince in the mansion."

"As for your work in the future, I have other arrangements here."

After saying hello, Jiang Jiu left with Nanny Qian and Mudan.

Haitang was also smart, and she quickly tried to please the King of Qi: "Your Majesty, I will make you a pot of tea."

Shaoyao also brought out the snacks she made herself: "Your Highness likes my snacks the most. Please."

Yue Gui was simple-minded and only wanted to please the prince, so she played with him and brought his favorite paper oriole.

"My Lord, I will accompany you to release the paper ibis."

This scene was heard by Princess Qi Yang, who knew that Prince Qi was hanging out with the concubines in the mansion all day long. Even though his health was not good, he could not resist the many beauties around him.

When Princess Qiyang heard the news, she snorted with contempt: "I'm afraid he has too many women, so he's in poor health. What kind of future can a man with a hollow body have?"

The palace was filled with extravagance and decadence.

Jiang Jiu is about to have a war without gunpowder.

In the carriage, Nanny Qian was a little worried: "I had an appointment with Manager Cheng this morning at the Yanyu Teahouse. I wonder if he will come..."

Jiang Jiu said calmly: "Yes, not only he will come, Wu Yuan will come too."

"Yanyulou is Yiye Pianzhou's own teahouse. Some things can be hidden from outsiders, but not from the two of them..."

Aunt Qian thought for a moment and said, "Back then, the boss trained four shopkeepers and one accountant to manage production, sales, money, and sundries."

"I only remember that Madam Sun, who was in charge of production, was honest and devoted to protecting her boss, and that Cheng Da, the shopkeeper, was only in charge of buying and selling. The three people who were really in charge of the money were Madam Zhao, Qin Yuan, and me."

And Wu Tian, ​​who assassinated Chu Yu and snatched the ring that day, was actually in charge of trivial matters.

The so-called miscellaneous matters also mean being able to intervene in various matters, including the roles of supervision and after-sales.

In fact, this means that the secret of production lies in the hands of Grandma Sun.

No matter how powerful Cheng Jiarui is, he only makes more money because of his strong sales ability, but the money does not go into his pocket. Someone else is in charge of the accounting.

Wu Tian has considerable power, including supervision and after-sales service, but even so, he does not touch the money and does not have much power.

The ones who really have power are the three people who manage the money, Nanny Zhao, Qin Yuan and Nanny Qian.

Nanny Zhao was in charge of the incoming accounts, Qin Yuan was in charge of the general ledger, and Nanny Qian was in charge of withdrawing money from the bank, but all withdrawal procedures required the use of a ring.

And during the years when Aunt Qian was away, the amount of money that had come into the bank from a small boat must have been huge if it had only been deposited and not withdrawn.

Jiang Jiu mainly checked the total account of Yiye Pianzhou.
