As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Emperor Qiming's eyes also obviously flashed a trace of surprise, and said, "You want to resign from the position of the envoy of the Dongshan Battalion?" ”

Jiang You nodded and said: "Weichen thinks that the sage once said that the self-cultivation Qi family is peaceful in the world, and the Weichen family is not united, and the heart is uncertain, even if he leads the Dongshan camp again, it is difficult to make achievements, so it is better to let the emperor appoint another meritocracy." ”

Emperor Qiming pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You are young, but you know the general situation, know how to advance and retreat, it is really commendable. Okay, let you run back and forth every day, maybe even Wan Ming has to have an opinion on my uncle, but you are my own nephew, and I am the young god of war praised by the world, if you want to completely let go and be your free son, I will never agree here, so let's do it, the military selection and Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of War still lacks a general in charge of Cao, you go to the top first. The military department is your uncle, speaking of which is a family, the relationship between the upper and lower levels is easy to take care of, there are not many things on weekdays, and it is close to your mansion, you just want to make time to take care of Wanming, and it is convenient, what do you think? ”

Jiang You complied and thanked Long En.

Jiang You's troubles were really surprising, but Yi'er watched coldly, but found that although Jiang Pei didn't speak, his face was calm, and he thought that Jiang You's matter must have been discussed with Jiang Pei in advance, although Yi'er didn't understand the trick, but he thought that it was a consensus reached by their father and son, and it was meaningful.

When I went out of the palace and returned home, it was getting late, so Jiang You said a little apologetically: "I said that the master was going to walk around the yard with you, but I didn't want to be so late when I came back." ”

Yi'er said with a smile: "The moonlight is just right at night, otherwise, will you accompany me to the shore of Huansha Lake to enjoy the moon?" ”

Jiang You frowned and said: "This is not possible, you are recovering from a serious illness, the wind and cold are heavy at night, in case you get into the cold, it is not a joke, you want to swim in the lake to enjoy the moon, and when you are well, you will accompany you every day." ”

Yi'er pursed her lips and said: "Master will say it nicely, and I don't know what excuse Ye will find to perfunctory me at that time." ”

Jiang You chuckled and said, "What do you mean by 'again', when did the master perfunctory you?" ”

Yi'er thought about it, but she really couldn't think of anything, so she simply glared at her and said: "I don't care, the master wants to resign in front of the emperor, and it's all my reason, so the master must give me this reason, and I am willing to give up." Otherwise, the master said nicely, he wants to take care of me or something, but he leaves me at home all day long, and I don't follow it. ”

Jiang You shook his head with a smile and said, "In this way, I just lost my official position, and I got some kind of idle position as General Cao, didn't Mrs. think about comforting me?" ”

"Thought." Yi'er said seriously, "So I asked my master to take me to the lake to enjoy the moon, just so that I could talk to my master and comfort my master, but my master didn't agree and didn't take me there." ”

Jiang You laughed, looked at Yi'er, and said, "There is nothing to say about the imperial banquet in the palace, do you feel hungry?" Why don't you have a late-night snack in the kitchen? ”

Yi'er nodded, Jiang You ordered, and in less than a moment, two bowls of ginseng soup were served with exquisite dim sum, and the couple didn't want to be served, so they sat opposite each other at the table and ate.

Jiang You said: "This soup should have been boiled by Wu'er himself, it tastes really good." ”

Yi'er said, "Wu'er has always only been an errand boy in the kitchen, so she didn't come to me to wait, and the master knows her?" ”

Jiang You said: "Are there any people and things around you that you haven't inquired about carefully?" The small kitchen in the courtyard is Mama Wang and Wu Er on the board, and Wu Er is the reckless little girl at last year's Qixi Lantern Festival, right? Or is it the idea that the master helped you, then Tan Chen went to Xichangbo Mansion to redeem the person for you, the master is not wrong, right? ”

Yi'er smiled and said, "Ye tell me honestly, for no reason, what is Ye doing in front of me?" ”

Jiang You also smiled: "Isn't it just that seeing that this soup is good, I just said it casually, where did Madam go?" ”

Yi'er snorted and said, "It's okay if you don't say it, anyway, my Wu'er has a good temperament, and I don't have to say anything about my cooking skills, so I don't have to worry about no one asking me to come with me, if I really let Wu'er see the right eye, I will be happy to fulfill her." If you are free, you have to give the people around you a wake-up call, so as not to regret it when you get it, and blame me instead. ”

Jiang You chuckled and said, "Why, Madam also knows the thoughts of that little man?" ”

Yi'er said: "I used to say such a thing in front of me, but I was smart, and I turned around to probe my tone, and I gave me a lecture. ”

Jiang You said: "Madame doesn't look down on him?" ”

Yi'er glanced at Jiang You and said: "That little man has been with Ye for a long time, people are too clever, even these things want to come to my mouth, see what I mean, to be honest, if he is really so careful about marriage matters, thinking about trying to figure out my mind, I really don't want to point out Wu'er to him." In the end, this is a major event in his and Wu'er's lives, if he is not strong-willed, if he is dispensable, the master said, how can I rest assured that I will hand over people to him? ”

Jiang You said: "He's also afraid that you won't agree." ”

Yi'er tilted her head and looked at Jiang You, and said, "It's rare for the master to help this little guy speak, what's the matter, the little guy asked for the master?" ”

Jiang You smiled and said: "You have been unconscious before, I'm afraid that the master's temper is not very good, that guy has this heart, and he doesn't dare to do this in front of the master." ”

Yi'er thought about it and said, "That master saw it by himself?" ”

Jiang You said: "It doesn't matter if the master sees it himself, it doesn't matter if the little man really asks for it, it's not important that the person is your person, in the end, the master doesn't dare to make the decision for you, Mrs. ”

Yi'er smiled: "It's a good acquaintance." ”

Jiang You said: "But the girls around you are also old, so it's time to think about these things." ”

Yi'er nodded and said: "Speaking of Lou Da and Zisui, they have already begged me to come to me, because I have been asleep for a long time, and I will do their business first another day." Master also help me find a suitable offspring, and I'll add it up. ”

Jiang You said with a smile: "The master is now an idle errand, and there is time to come, since the lady has issued a word and given an order, the husband here is the first to look at the lady, and the car is in front of the horse, and he does not dare to slack off." ”

Yi'er pursed her lips and chuckled, and said, "Master, at the imperial banquet today, you asked to resign, but you want to use this to appease the emperor's heart?" ”

Jiang You said: "Wei Daohuai is dead, the Weiqin Marquis Mansion has declined, and the situation of our Ningguo Mansion being the dominant family is inevitable, and the emperor is not showing it on his face, and he will inevitably be suspicious in his heart." My father has been in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies for many years, and if the master continues to hold on to the Dongshan camp, I am afraid that the emperor's suspicion will evolve into jealousy. Besides, the master is now eager to unload all the trivial things and stay with his wife every day, but he just takes this opportunity to let the master hide for a few days and steal a few days of leisure. ”

In the following days, Yi'er was hiding in Yirui Hospital to recuperate, Jiang You resigned from the Dongshan battalion, and the general Cao of the Ministry of Military Election and Qing Officials was also an idle position, especially now that the four seas are leveled, there is no ministry to deal with, Jiang You went over every day to order, and went back to the house to accompany Yi'er.

On weekdays, there are also some familiar ladies and ladies who want to visit the house, Jiang You is a little disturbed, so he sent a message to the outside world, only saying that Yi'er's body needs to recuperate, so as to decline those uninvited ladies and misses.

However, when Yingu's younger brother Xiao Guan An and Aunt An came, Yi'er met in person, and asked the small kitchen to make a banquet and specially entertain the two, and even Jiang You also went to the table, which was enough to give the two of them face. Aunt An was grateful in her heart, and she was comforted, and she wanted to cry a few times at the table, and when she got off the table, Yinggu took Guan An is respectful kowtow to Yi'er and Jiang You, and made a big salute, the eyes of the sister and brother were red, and they wanted to say something to express their gratitude in their hearts, but they were all choked up, but they couldn't say anything.

Wanming County Lord's Mansion, Yinsuo made a representative, and Lou Da came into the mansion to ask Yi'er for a visit, kowtowed, and Lin Xuan came by the way, Lin Xuan and Yi'er opened an inn together, and it was already prosperous, although every month she sent the account list to the county lord's mansion on time, but Yi'er had been unconscious before, and Lou Da was doing the right things. Yi'er smiled bitterly, these accounts, she only looked at the thick stack, her head was big, where did she look at it?

Lin Xuan also said that the spring exam has passed, which also means that the business of the inn has begun to enter a relatively off-season, and after a few months of care, the inn business is also on the right track, so Lin Xuan thought about cooperating with Yier again and opening another store.

Yi'er knew about her two-year gambling contract with the Lin family, so she asked with a smile: "I wonder what kind of shop my sister wants to open again?" ”

Lin Xuan hesitated for a long time before saying: "The business district in Beijing is already saturated, and the competition for opening ordinary stores is too great, and it is difficult to open up the situation, so I want to open an official salt shop." ”

"Official salt shop?" Yi'er was slightly surprised, you must know that salt is a state-run monopoly industry, and there is a special salt road transfer yamen responsible for all matters related to salt production, transportation, and sales. If a private person wants to open an official salt shop, he has to go through the way of the salt road yamen, and the salt road yamen will uniformly decentralize the 'salt sales card', because the salt sales card is a small iron piece with yellow characters on a white background, which is also commonly known as a gold and silver knife.

The imperial court strictly controlled the sale of salt cards, and the number of issues was very small, like in the capital, I heard that only three brands were issued, just imagine the huge Yundu City, three salt sales cards, which shows that this thing is scarce and expensive.
