Chapter 422: My Son Is a Gentleman
After Jiuyue heard the maid's reply, her brows tightened, although each world is the same, but there are also differences, in yesterday's incense, although she smelled the incense is not good for her health, but she can't tell what medicinal materials are in the incense.

What made her even more puzzled was why the incense given to her by her mother-in-law was mixed with this medicinal herb, you know, in her memory, her mother-in-law was very good to her.
Jiuyue couldn't figure out how to think about it, so she put aside the matter of incense and continued to tease the child and manage the entire General's Mansion.
After careful observation for the past two months, Jiuyue discovered the shortcomings of the General's Mansion, which used to rise from the cold gate, and there were not too many maids, and after the efforts of these generations, there were more and more servants, but the quality of the servants was not very good.
Laziness is a trivial matter, the key is that there is a little petty theft, the kitchen reported her a lot of money every day!
Thinking of this, Jiuyue closed the account book, let people take the things, and walked to the old lady's courtyard, speaking of which, this old lady is a very kind old man in the memory of the original book, and she treats the original owner very kindly, but her father-in-law is cold to this old lady.
"Madam is here, the old lady was still talking to you just now, have you had breakfast, do you want the old slave to let someone send some more!" When Mama Zhao saw Jiuyue, she hurriedly greeted her and asked diligently.
"No, I already ate it when I first came, by the way, is my mother-in-law awake? I have something I want to discuss with her! Jiuyue shook her head and walked into the courtyard!
"It's Jiuyue, I heard your voice from afar, come in!" A hoarse female voice sounded, Jiuyue walked in the door, only to see an old man, wearing a forehead scarf on his head, with an East Pearl hanging on it, wearing a purple gown, the whole person looked extraordinary!
"Mother-in-law!" Jiuyue shouted sweetly and asked people to put the ledger next to the table.
"Oh, Jiuyue is here, I heard that you were unwell a few months ago, but you have been feeling better these days?" Old Lady Su narrowed her eyes and asked weakly!
"Much better, thank you old lady for caring!" Jiuyue sat down!
"Well, that's good, how are your incense sticks? Do you need to take some back? I don't know why, when Jiuyue heard the old lady ask this, she saw a vicious light flashing in the old lady's eyes!
Jiuyue hurriedly rubbed her eyes, and found that the light had disappeared again, and thought that she had seen it wrong, and then said with a smile: "Old lady, now Hao'er is still on my side, he is a child, and he can't smell the smell of incense, so I stopped those, but it's okay these days, and my body is much healthier!" ”
"That's good, if you still want incense, just send someone to get it, I have more here!" The old lady looked a little cold when she said this, and finally took a sip of tea, looked at Jiuyue, and asked, "What are you doing with the account book?" ”
Hearing this, Jiuyue straightened her body, and then put her hand on the ledger, "This...... Old lady, when I went back to see the account book these days, I found that there were more and more people in our house, but there were only a few of us in the serious master, and there were actually more people, a symbol of family prosperity, but there were many people and there were disadvantages.
Now everyone is not active in their work, they just want to cheat and play tricks, not only that, but their wages, as well as reward money, and food money, add up to miscellaneous expenses, which is a lot of expenses, and the daughter-in-law thinks, lay off some people, it can be regarded as a blessing, let them all out, and only the people who should be left in our house! ”
"This ......" The old lady touched the ring in her hand, hesitating!
"Old lady, don't worry, your yard is business as usual, we won't wronged you, in fact...... The daughter-in-law released the subordinates in the house, not because there was no money in the family, but those subordinates were really ...... It's hard to say that the daughter-in-law just wants to put down those who are cheating and cheating, and then ask some people who understand you to teach them, and let our general's mansion change its appearance in the future! ”
"It's okay, you can just call the shots at home!" The old lady said coldly!
After Jiuyue got this approval, she went down to lay off people, first laid off those who were cheating and cheating, and then laid off some people who didn't need it, and only some loyal and honest people were left in the house!
Jiuyue invited a few more educated grandmothers from the palace, and the subordinates in the palace bowed and bowed, and invited a few gentlemen from elsewhere to teach him to write and recognize, and the appearance of the entire general's mansion was really new!
As for Mr. Bookkeeper, Jiuyue not only invited one, but also invited several, and posted the account once a month, and also asked them to supervise each other and get rewards for reporting!
After the General's Mansion was erected, Jiuyue began to be diplomatic, using her identity to participate in various meetings, sort out all kinds of information, and see if she could help her husband!
"You know what? Yesterday, I heard my father-in-law say that the court is going to fight! ”
"Isn't it, didn't you hear that the border gate only started a few months ago, why did it start fighting again?"
"Alas, it's not nonsense, isn't it almost the New Year? They also wanted to live a little better, so they hit our mind! ”
"We're not afraid of this, after all, there is General Su at the border!"
"Alas, even if General Su is at the border pass, it won't help, after all, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!"
"What do you mean?"
When Jiuyue heard this sentence in the dark, she suddenly became nervous, because he knew that sometime next year, her father-in-law would die in battle, and thinking of this, her heart had to stop!
"The old man of my family is the head of the household, and now, the court has no money at all, so how can he get grain and grass? Why is there no food and grass? Soldiers......"
"Don't say it, these are all important events in the imperial court, where are we women and Taoists discussing? Besides, General Su's wife is also here today, if she hears it, it will be terrible! ”
Because after the noble lady interrupted, several people suddenly fell silent, Jiuyue sat next to her, and it wasn't until it was getting dark that she realized how long she had been sitting!
After returning to the mansion with a stiff body, Jiuyue sat in the study, thinking about countermeasures all night, and the sky was about to dawn, and she didn't come up with a reason!
Now the imperial court is short of money, although the general's mansion is rich, but compared with the grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border gates, her little silver is not enough to even stuff her teeth!
But if she doesn't stop it, then his husband will definitely die!
