At the end of Shenshi, Yu Zheng went to the rear affairs camp to look for Jiang Shu after finishing his busy work. He heard Jiang Shu and Zhang Wei discussing matters outside the tent.
Yu Zheng did not go in immediately, but listened with his outer ear.
After confirming that Zhang Wei was not disrespectful to Jiang Shu, he stepped forward and entered the tent.
"Your Majesty." Seeing Yu Zheng, Zhang Wei quickly stood up to greet him.
Yu Zheng glanced at him, walked up to the boss and asked Jiang Shu, "Is there any difficulty?"
Jiang Shu shook his head, stood up and said, "Are you done? Then let's go back."
Zhang Wei is still waiting to get the banknote to buy groceries, so he can put other things on hold first.
Yu Zheng nodded, and he and Jiang Shu left the camp and walked outside the military camp.
Zhang Wei bowed and followed Zhuiyun and the others. Yu Zheng didn't notice him until he got on the carriage.
With his dark eyebrows slightly twisted, Yu Zheng looked at Zhang Weiyan and asked.
He had only seen Yu Zheng angry in the morning. Zhang Wei felt that Yu Zheng's eyes were very threatening, and he tensed up and looked to Jiang Shu for help.
Jiang Shu quickly explained: "The food and salary are insufficient, so I asked him to go back with me to get some banknotes."
Yu Zheng didn't say anything when he heard this, and helped Jiang Shu get into the carriage.
After the carriage started rolling, Yu Zhengfang said slowly: "How much is the difference in food and salary?"
Jiang Shu knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he said truthfully: "Eighty thousand taels."
After hearing this, Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Use the prince's money."
When he came to Yicheng this time, Yu Zheng knew that there was a shortage of military pay, so he brought a sum of private money and put it under Jiang Shu's care.
Hearing this, Jiang Shu laughed and said, "Didn't you say that all the palace's money belongs to me? So what difference does it make?"
Yu Zheng was silent for a while, unable to answer.
Jiang Shu held his hand and patted it gently: "Husband and wife are one, we don't need to be so clear about it. There will be many places to use money in the future. Don't worry, I will use it when it's time."
"Okay." Yu Zheng was speechless and had no choice but to agree.
After returning to the general's residence, Jiang Shu asked Zhang Wei to wait outside the courtyard, went into the house, took out the banknotes, put them in a wooden box, and handed them to him personally.
"Here are one hundred thousand taels, and the extra money will be used to buy fruit wine."
"Yes." Zhang Wei responded respectfully, feeling that the wooden box in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms.
As a logistics officer in the army, it wasn't that he had never seen so much money before, but he had never seen anyone give out so much money privately.
Jiang Shu is the first person.
Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Shu said: "Okay, you go and do your work. I will go to the military camp tomorrow."
Zhang Wei said goodbye, took the wooden box and took the time to do business.
Jiang Shu was about to turn around and go back to the hospital, when Zhou Boxu led the two girls towards her.
"I've met the princess." The two saluted in unison.
Jiang Shu glanced at them and then looked at Zhou Boxu: "This is it?"
Zhou Boxu said: "I asked the steward to find the maids. You can see if they can be used. If they are not suitable, I will ask the steward to find them again."
I really mean it.
Jiang Shu thanked them gratefully, and finally whispered to the two of them: "Come in with me."
"Yes." The two followed cautiously.
Entering the house, Jiang Shu sat down and asked, "What are your names?"
"I..." As soon as the girl in the green coat started to speak, the girl in the blue jacket next to her tugged at the corner of her clothes.
The green-coated girl reacted: "Oh yes, slave. I'm honeysuckle."
"Slave Forsythia." The girl in blue coat announced immediately.
Jiang Shu looked at them and said, "You didn't work in the house before, right?"
The general's residence is all occupied by men, and there are very few people with families, and they are not that particular.
Furthermore, if there was a maid in the general's residence, she would have arranged for her to come last night and not wait until now.
Ling Dong said: "Yes, I was feeding the geese at home in the morning, and suddenly Aunt Wang came over and asked me to be a maid for the princess."
"Slave!" Forsythia gritted her teeth and reminded in a low voice.
Lonicera stuck out her tongue in annoyance and said nervously: "My dear princess, I'm sorry, I only learned the rules for an hour. There are too many things to remember, and I haven't fully memorized them yet."
Jiang Shuwen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you are not maids to begin with, so there is no need to call yourself slaves."
"Ah? Is this okay?" Lonicera looked at Jiang Shu, then turned to look at Forsythia.
They were both arrested temporarily because Forsythia knew how to dress up and Lonicera was nimble and clever. They had no relatives at home and no ties, so it would be the same no matter where they celebrated the New Year.
It was also the first time that Forsythia met such a noble person as Jiang Shu. She was not sure what to do, so she only followed the steward's words: "This is against the rules."
Jiang Shu said: "This is not a palace, and you are not maids sold into slavery, so you don't have to worry too much."
It was already difficult for them to be summoned to wait on her at the last moment, so how could they continue to embarrass them according to the rules of the capital?
"This matter is settled." Jiang Shu said the final word.
"Yes." The two responded nervously.
It is said that the more noble a person is, the harder it is to serve him, so he needs to be careful. They met for the first time today. They didn't know Jiang Shu's temperament and had to be cautious in everything.
In order to make it easier to get along with each other, Jiang Shu asked them carefully to improve their understanding, such as what they would do, who else was in the family, etc.
After questioning, I learned that both of them were orphans, and their parents had been deceased for many years. Lonicera makes a living by collecting herbs and selling vegetables, while Forsythia makes a living by doing needlework and selling tofu.
As women, it is very difficult for them to live alone.
Both of them are eighteen or nineteen years old, and Lonicera has a manly temperament. Forsythia is gentle and tough, just like her name, like a tenacious and beautiful forsythia flower.
They are not maids, they are the people of Dazhao. Jiang Shu looked at them with eyes full of pity and appreciation.
Although she has a bad fate, she is constantly striving for self-improvement and can serve as a role model for women.
"Then you are here, what should you do with your goose?" Jiang Shu asked Lonicera.
Ling Dong's eyes were bright and he said: "I brought it and kept it in the kitchen. Aunt Wang said she would help me feed it."
Aunt Wang is the wife of the steward of the general's mansion. They are familiar with her because they often bring vegetables and tofu to the general's mansion.
Lonicera only raised one goose, which her parents bought for her when she was a child, and she kept it together. By now, he has become her relative and partner.
"Dabai is amazing. Not only can he look after my home, he can also help me drive away snakes, insects and wild beasts every time I go to the mountains to collect herbs. He can also recognize the road, so he is so smart..."
When talking about her goose, Lonicera is full of energy and talks endlessly.
Jiang Shu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and asked what he would do if Forsythia couldn't do business.
Forsythia said a little embarrassedly: "The salary Aunt Wang gives us is more than what we can earn from doing business."
So they are willing to serve.
Jiang Shu looked at the two simple and lovely girls and liked them from the bottom of his heart. He immediately decided that they would serve them during his stay in Yicheng.
After getting to know each other, Jiang Shu told them what they needed to do every day and taught them personally.
This is not a trip to Beijing, everything is kept simple, there are not many things to do, and the two of them got started quickly.
With them waiting, Leng Xing felt much more relaxed, and Jiang Shu felt much more convenient and comfortable.
After finishing teaching the things outside, Jiang Shu led them into the inner room. They were startled when they saw Yu Zheng reading on the soft couch.
"I've met...I've met the prince." The two of them saluted hurriedly.
They didn't know that Yu Zheng was in the house at the time, and they were a little upset when they thought about how he had been chattering for so long.
Yu Zheng glanced at the two of them casually and continued reading.
He was reading the military book and the map of Yicheng.
There was no time today, so he planned to go on an inspection tour with Zhou Boxu tomorrow to improve his understanding of Yicheng.
