The young man looked a little embarrassed and apologized under the dangerous gaze of his general: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't recognize the great man."
Tang Wan was now covered in sticky sweat. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel uncomfortable, but she didn't want to make things too difficult for this young man, so she just waved her hand casually and didn't get angry with him.
The young man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't know when cold sweat had already broken out on his back.
He watched the two of them walk away and thought to himself, "Luckily, my wife is good-tempered, otherwise I wouldn't have had a good day today."
After all, he knew how protective the general was of his people.
"Here you go." Dongyu scooped a bowl of mung bean soup to give him to relieve the heat. The little bun's face wrinkled: "Next time, don't stop me and my wife."
"Hey, dear sister, please say more good things about me in front of the lady. Thank you very much." He looked at her with some flattery.
Dongyu just nodded without saying anything, and trotted after him with the food box in hand.
The young man couldn't help but shed tears as he drank the cool soup that helped him cool down. The lady was such a good person that she was willing to give him the soup even in this state.
When the general is not around, he must protect his wife well!
..........
Tang Wan told him everything that happened in the mansion. Qin Xuanzhi looked a little puzzled: "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"
Tang Wan winked at him: "Why, you want to drive me away just after I got here?"
"No, no." He certainly didn't mean that.
"Uncle Wang also told me that since I'm married, the power of the housekeeper should be handed over to me. However, I still want to seek your opinion."
She hesitated, her beautiful eyes staring at him without blinking.
Qin Xuanzhi didn't understand too many twists and turns, he only knew that the person in front of him was his newlywed wife.
He held her hand and said, "You are my wife. Logically, this is what should happen."
Tang Wan teased him deliberately: "If it wasn't me, what if it was someone else? Would you be like this?"
Qin Xuanzhi pursed his lips and shook his head without thinking: "Of course not, how can others compare with you."
His handsome face was full of seriousness, without the slightest hint of perfunctoriness.
"It's only been a few days, and General Qin has developed feelings for me?" She said this playfully with a cunning look on her face.
"Of course, although the feelings aren't too deep yet, you're different from everyone else. Emotional matters need to be cultivated slowly..."
He seemed to really think that this was a question to him, so he explained it very seriously.
"Go drink your mung bean soup, idiot."
Qin Xuanzhi scratched his head and smiled helplessly, which formed a sharp contrast with his handsome appearance. He looked like a banished immortal and his performance was naive.
Unexpectedly cute.
Qin Xuanzhi drank the mung bean soup in one breath, his eyes sparkling: "Madam, it's really delicious."
He looked a little excited: "The last time I had this delicious mung bean soup was when my mother cooked it for me."
Tang Wan could see that his eyes were becoming more and more lost.
Yes, he lost his mother so early, so it’s understandable that he feels sad when he talks about it.
She smiled, pretending not to notice the loneliness in his words: "From now on, whenever you want to drink, I will cook it for you."
"Madam, please don't go back on your word." He looked at her, emotions surging in his eyes.
"Of course I won't break my promise, but I'm afraid that by then, you'll just find me annoying."
"No, that day will never come."
.........
The soup was delivered and her purpose was achieved. She talked to Qin Xuanzhi for a few words and left.
"Ma'am, are you leaving just like that?"
"Huh? Of course not. Since you are my housekeeper now, of course I have to investigate the people under my command thoroughly." A barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
After all, she had long discovered that there was something wrong with the ingredients provided by the mansion.
Although they were all relatively fresh, she had looked at the account books and found that the prices were too high.
In her previous life, she had only a little money and had to be frugal to survive.
Therefore, she must have known the prices in the capital. No matter how expensive it was, an egg would not cost more than a hundred coins. Someone must have embezzled a lot of money.
Moreover, the profits submitted by those shops and farms are not correct.
The Qin family is considered to be very wealthy, but Qin Xuanzhi is still very frugal, because interpersonal relationships require money.
Even if you don't want to make friends with others, sometimes you still have to save face.
Of course, financial benefits are involved.
However, Qin Xuanzhi had so many shops, fields and farms under his control, how could his annual net income be only 5,000 taels of silver?
Moreover, the emperor had rewarded him a lot over the years for his military achievements. As a meritorious official, he was given land, shops, gold and silver.
Adding it all up, the monthly output may be more than this.
Qin Xuanzhi was devoted to leading his troops to fight, and household affairs were always handled by the nanny, the little girl named Fangrong, and Uncle Wang.
The little maidservant was still young and didn't understand the twists and turns involved. Uncle Wang and the nanny couldn't quite understand the account book either, so they just thought that as long as there was no loss, it was fine.
But she couldn't bear to see it.
She knew that her mission was to give birth to a child for Qin Xuanzhi, but the child that came out of her belly was also hers.
In the future, her children might ascend to the supreme position, and she couldn't let her children face an empty treasury.
So, she has to start planning now. She wants her child to have no worries, not be bound by money, and not be controlled by others because of lack of money.
The look in her eyes became more determined as she walked towards the shop closest to the Qin Mansion.
She stopped at the door and said to the waiter, "Ask your boss to come out."
The waiter didn't even look at her: "Just take a look, it's up to you whether you want to buy or not." Then he rolled his eyes.
The woman in front of him was obviously someone who couldn't afford it, yet she had the nerve to ask their shopkeeper to come out to meet her.
He ignored her and continued to eat melon seeds and read a storybook while doing so.
She looked at the mountains of luxurious fabrics, some of which were piled haphazardly on the ground.
She suppressed her anger and took out the token: "If you don't want to lose this job, call your boss out quickly."
The waiter finally stopped when he saw the token in her hand. There seemed to be a look of fear in his eyes, and he quickly ran to the back.
Soon, a short, fat, middle-aged man appeared in front of her. "Are you from the boss's family? What can I do for you?"
"Bring me your account books."
The middle-aged man smiled reluctantly, "I'm afraid this isn't a good idea. Even if you belong to the boss, I can't show you the account book without his permission."
"I am the wife of your boss. Is this identity enough?" She raised her voice, her eyebrows knitted together, and her words were filled with anger.
