"I also think Cantonese pastries are delicious, and the Beijing pastries are too sweet, if you like it, just talk to your aunt at that time, anyway, every year the Yun family will come to the Hou Mansion to give New Year's gifts, just a few more boxes of pastries." Yun Xiangrong said.

"I was a rebellious teenager back then, so I was embarrassed to open this mouth, but there are also Cantonese pastry shops in the capital, and I have eaten the macaroons they made, the crust is stiff and not delicious. Later, I went to Guangdong and ate local macaroons, the crust is good, but why the filling is only almonds, it is too boring to eat. Your home-made macaroons have become a classic in my heart. Jiang Qingchen said.

"The taste in memory is always beyond the actual feeling, the macaroons are easy to say, Master He is old, it is inconvenient to enter Beijing, but his apprentices can come, I think the pastries made by Master He are more delicious, because he likes to innovate, and when I establish a house, I will take him into Beijing, and then the almond cakes will be enough." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Great, this is all a blessing for Mrs. Tuo." Jiang Qingchen said.

After a barbecue was served, the two of them returned to the Hou Mansion after eating sweetly, Jiang Qingchen felt for the first time that this was the real life, what was his life before? In addition to working overtime, it is entertainment, and at best, it is alive.

Sending Yun Xiangrong back to the Hou Mansion, Jiang Qingchen went to see Li Yanfei, who had already made an appointment to meet tonight

A few days ago, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that someone was going to kill Yun Chengyuan, and the reward was 100,000 snowflakes and silver, so big hand, I knew at a glance that with such wealth, it must be Zhu Ziguo who made the shot.

Jiang Qingchen would not talk to Yun Xiangrong about this, so as not to worry her.

But this matter involves royal majesty, it is no longer the Yun family's business, after receiving the news, Jiang Qingchen immediately told Li Yanfei, and the next day, Li Yanfei's lieutenant general, led five hundred forbidden troops to aid the second prince.

This time, Li Yanfei was asked to plan what happened after Yun Chengyuan entered Beijing, protection and other work.

For the sake of his future happiness, he must also get rid of Zhu Ziguo's spies.

The next day, Yun Xiangrong got up early in the morning, finished breakfast, freshened up and dressed up, and got into the carriage that was about to go to the Fuguo Mansion.

In fact, when Yun Xiangyun was in the Yun family, he was a master who liked to be idle, and he had no interest in the housekeeper at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he could understand Daifang's account books, he wouldn't let his brother and sister-in-law feel that they were just eating white food, and they wouldn't study hard.

It is estimated that he should be able to understand the account book now, after all, the Yun family has requirements for children, but the level should not be as high as it is now, and it is impossible to see if there is a problem with the account.

Jiang Qingchen recognized Yun Xiangrong's ability to read the account book, he didn't teach anything, he started directly, Jiang Qingchen felt that Yun Xiangrong didn't need to learn anything more in terms of the account book, he really wanted to learn the business philosophy, and Jiang Xi'an was the teacher in this aspect.

Yun Xiangrong has a little concept of housekeepers, but he has never operated it, and now he is a princess, these are all basic skills that he has to learn. Fortunately, Jiang Yaoyao is a good teacher and is willing to teach him.

When Yun Xiangrong arrived at the Fuguo Mansion, Jiang Yaoyao had just finished breakfast and was ready to deal with business.

Usually, Jiang Yaoyao deals with things and contacts the mother-in-law or the little maid in the family, so they are all in the side hall of the Fuguo Mansion, which is a suite, and the outside is a small hall with coffee table seats. The small room inside is a kang, and Jiang Yaoyao will work in the room when it is cold in winter.

Yun Xiangrong is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she is also a princess, after all, this is a family matter of the Fuguo Mansion, and it is not easy to show her face, so Jiang Yaoyao arranged for her to rest in the room, with the door open, and she could hear everything clearly outside.

Jiang Yaoyao gave Yun Xiangrong a government rule of the Auxiliary State Mansion, a very thick book, which contained the Hou Mansion's clear work requirements and welfare policies for each level of maids, as well as the principle of rewards and punishments.

The Yun family also has this thing, Yun Xiangrong has seen it, but he hasn't seen it carefully, and his impression is that it is not so thick.

Every morning, I have to deal with the basic things in the house, such as the daily expenses of eating, drinking, and Lazar in the house, the entertainment that the men and wives have to attend, the arrangements for receiving gifts and return gifts, and the distribution of monthly money.

The rules of the Fuguo Mansion are strict, anyway, during the period when Yun Xiangrong was here, he didn't hear anything like a maid messing around or a master messing around.

After the basic things are taken care of, the big drama is about to begin.

"Let Mrs. Zhang come in." Jiang Yaoyao said.

Soon Yun Xiangrong heard a loud cry: "Second grandmother, you are the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, you can save our Zhang family, my family will be ruined, yesterday, Lang Zhong said that my old man's leg is basically useless, and he will be able to go to the ground in half a year, why do you say my life is so bitter." After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she sat on the ground and cried.

Originally, Yun Xiangrong was not very interested in this matter, but this kind of shrew had never seen it, and immediately had the idea of wanting to gain knowledge. So he walked out slowly, and before Jiang Yaoyao was afraid that Yun wanted to show up, so he put a screen at the door of the small room.

In this way, Yun Xiangrong could see the people in the hall behind the screen, but the people in the hall couldn't see her.

Yun Xiangrong saw an old woman dressed in brown cloth, sitting on the ground in the hall and crying bitterly, and for some reason she didn't hear the sadness, so she felt very annoyed.

Jiang Yaoyao didn't mean to interrupt her, and the other mothers-in-law didn't speak, so the whole room watched her cry quietly.

Crying is very draining, crying so loudly, no matter how good the physical strength is, people can't last long.

Mrs. Zhang didn't cry for a while, then stopped and continued: "Second grandma, you see that our Zhang family is sincerely doing things for the Guogong Mansion, can you help us again." ”

At this moment, Yun Xiangrong saw the appearance of Mrs. Zhang clearly, she was not fat, but her face was full of meat, her eyes were very fierce, and she looked like she was not easy to mess with.

"Yes." Jiang Yaoyao said briskly.

"Ahh Mrs. Zhang was stunned, these two grandmothers are too easy to talk today, and they have prepared a night's speech before, but there is no room to play, and this matter is decided.

"How much more do you want?" Jiang Yaoyao asked.

"Fifty taels. plus the fifty taels that were said yesterday, a total of one hundred taels. Mrs. Zhang replied that the money had been thought of a long time ago, so it was very smooth to say it.

"I was careless before, you said that now you need a better osteopathic doctor in the capital to pay a consultation fee of one or two silver. The problem of this bone, it is impossible to look at it once, how can you look at it once every half a month, to confirm whether the lower bone is correct, at least you have to look at the eight times, then it will cost eight taels of silver. Jiang Yaoyao said.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly nodded yes.

"You say, it's a big deal that this bone is broken, you must take care of it, you can't work, you have to eat some good, stewed bones and other supplements, the nutrition is poor, and the bones are not well connected. By the way, you can't drink alcohol yet, and if you drink, you won't be able to grow well. Jiang Yaoyao said.

"What the second grandmother said, but my family is in charge, and he likes to drink a little wine, so I must take a good look at him this time." Mrs. Zhang said.

"Yes, someone has to watch it well, you heard that it's very busy, so it's difficult to have a little helper, you always have to find another capable person, which is another expense." Jiang Yaoyao said.

Mrs. Zhang felt that something was wrong, what happened to Jiang Yaoyao today, how could she be so reasonable, but she could only echo it.

Yun Xiangrong knew that this was the eldest sister who was about to make a big move.

"I think so, it's not easy to find people outside now, the key is that we lack a temporary worker, we can't work for a few months, and people can't be willing to come, even if they come, aren't we not at ease? I think you'll let your boy take over his father's work, and that's reassuring. Jiang Yaoyao said.

"I can't help it, second grandmother, my family bolt, that's alive, I have to go to the Daimyo's Mansion every quarter to deliver things to the eldest girl, this is the explanation of the Duchess of the Kingdom, and no one can take care of it if I don't go there." Mrs. Zhang said the last sentence, and became very confident, and said in her heart, I respect you and call you the second grandmother, but now the head of the Fuguo Mansion is the Duchess of the Guo, and it is not you.

"Mrs. Zhang, the eldest girl of our Guogong Mansion is a concubine, you already know this, you don't know that the person who really sent the bolt to the Daimyo Mansion to deliver things is Aunt Zhang, right?" Jiang Yaoyao said.

Mrs. Zhang was stunned on the spot, but fortunately, people are usually clever, and immediately said: "Anyway, the work of the plug is not given by the Duchess of the country but also by the aunt, and the bolt is not easy to shirk." ”

There is a reason why Mrs. Zhang likes this job so much, not only the round-trip expenses are from the Fuguo Mansion, but also the big girl Ding can also give a red envelope after arriving, the key is that the bolt has been walking for a few years and is very familiar, and now every time I go, I also bring some Beijing specialties and sell them to the local grocery store.

When I come back, I will bring some specialties of the Daimyo Mansion and sell them back to the capital. Originally, this would not be very profitable, or many people would have done it earlier, but the travel expenses are all paid by the Fuguo Mansion, so it will be different.

Every time you make a trip, you can earn twenty or thirty taels of silver, plus the travel expenses saved on the road, and the red envelope of the eldest girl, you can get a small two hundred taels a year, and you and the old man work hard in the villa for a year, and it is only sixty taels of silver.

Of course, Jiang Yaoyao knew all these things.

"Yes, Aunt Zhang originally wanted to give the plug money herself, but now the Guogong Mansion sent someone to deliver things and no longer let her pay, do you think she will refuse?" Jiang Yaoyao asked.

Mrs. Zhang understood that this was calculated by Jiang Yaoyao, but fortunately, people have been splashing skin for many years, and they have long forgotten what their faces are, so they naturally said: "Second grandma, you haven't been here today, and I will come to get the fifty taels of silver at the end of next month." ”

After saying that, I got up and was about to leave.

"How can I not be here, I promised to give you a hundred taels, you can't talk nonsense, I can't, I want to manage the Auxiliary Mansion, how can I convince everyone if I go back on my word." Jiang Yaoyao said.

Mrs. Zhang said in her heart that she was planted today, and she would definitely have to fight with the old man again when she went back, because she lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds.

"Second grandma, you're busy, I'll go back, there are still a bunch of things in the Zhuangzi, I'll come back to get the silver at the end of the month." Mrs. Zhang said.
