Today is the first official audit since the palace completely changed its management.
Most of what was checked on the first day of last month were the account books that had been left behind. But the new manager had just taken over and didn't understand many things.
After a correction, this month's account book is now in full shape. Occasionally there were one or two mistakes, but Jiang Shu pointed them out and quickly solved them after asking.
At the end of the verification, only two stewards had no contact with the accounting records before, so their work was somewhat confusing and needed to be redone.
Jiang Shu frowned and asked Zhuo Teng to teach him.
Unlike others, Zhuo Teng was the accounting clerk before, and Wu Qian almost left all affairs to him. In addition, he has read a lot of books and is a scholar. He knows a lot and learns quickly, which makes people worry-free.
Judging from Jiang Shu's experience in recognizing people, Zhuo Teng is a talent. If cultivated properly, it will be a powerful assistant in the future.
"Okay, let's go get your monthly payment first." Jiang Shu stood up.
"Thank you, Princess." The stewards quickly saluted and retreated to both sides.
After Chu Yu helped Jiang Shu leave, the hall suddenly became lively.
Jiang Shu looked back and saw the stewards smiling happily and heading towards the accounting room together.
"This day of the month is the happiest time for people in the mansion." Chu Yu whispered.
As a servant, I do my best to do errands every day for monthly money. A few taels of broken silver can support a family.
Jiang Shu nodded to express his understanding: "After I go back, you should hurry up and collect your monthly payment."
Leng Xing and Chu Yu heard this and responded respectfully.
Although they have no family to support, they also have expenses of their own.
And there will always be a day when people become old and weak, so they must save some money for self-defense.
It is great to have money, but it is difficult to be without money, no one is exempt.
Yu Zheng has been very busy recently. He often leaves the house without saying anything, and he is always busy in the study until late.
It wasn't until the tenth day of the lunar month that Jiang Shu had to go to the Jiang family to check the accounts, and Yu Zheng found some free time and sent her to the Jiang family.
On the carriage, Jiang Shu thought softly and said softly: "If your husband is busy, I can do it myself."
The sky is clear and the sun is bright, Leng Xing and the guards are accompanying her, and she is not running around, so nothing will go wrong.
Yu Zheng held her hand and Juan's face condensed slightly: "Accidents are always unexpected, so you can rest assured that I am with you."
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens. And he couldn't withstand that eventuality, no matter how many guards he had, they couldn't compare to him personally guarding An Xin.
Seeing Yu Zheng's persistence, Jiang Shu said nothing. There was only one day per month, so even if it was delayed, it wouldn't be too much.
Yu Zheng was indeed very busy. After sending Jiang Shu to Jiang's house, he left by car and rushed back to Jiang's house at noon.
When Yu Zheng arrived at Jiang's house, Jiang Shu was talking to Jiang's father and mother in the flower hall, waiting for him to have lunch with him.
Looking at Jiang Shu's swollen belly, Jiang's father and mother were very happy and looked forward to the arrival of their child.
This is their first grandson, which is extremely rare.
Jiang's father said: "I'm already well. If anything happens in the shop on weekdays, I can take care of it. You don't need to worry too much. Having a good pregnancy and raising a baby is the right thing to do."
Jiang Shu was a little worried when he heard this: "Mr. Chen told me not to worry too much. Dad should worry less."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Although my brain isn't as useful as it used to be, I'm not stupid either." After a year of recuperation, Jiang's father couldn't stand it anymore.
Jiang Shu wanted to say something else, but Mother Jiang patted her hand and said, "Don't worry about him. If he continues to be idle, he will develop new problems."
Jiang's mother accompanies Jiang's father every day and is the person who knows Jiang's father's physical condition best. Hearing what she said, Jiang Shu was reluctantly relieved.
They all knew in their hearts that Jiang Ji was Jiang's father's life's work, and he could not completely abandon it.
Furthermore, Jiang Shu is pregnant now, so it is indeed inconvenient to take care of Jiang Ji. It is perfect for Jiang's father to take over the reins at this time.
When the food was served, several people stopped talking and concentrated on eating.
After the meal, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang sent the two of them off.
Seeing Jiang's father walking with a slight limp due to his injured leg, Jiang Shu felt a little sad and distressed.
Feeling the look in her eyes, Jiang's father patted his legs and said with a meaningless smile: "It's pretty good, it's just a little slow. It doesn't matter."
After suffering such a serious injury, he was extremely lucky to be able to recover his life and still live a normal life.
People can't be too greedy and be content with what they have.
Seeing his parents looking relieved, the depression in Jiang Shu's heart immediately dissipated.
After arriving at the gate, Jiang Shu asked Jiang's father and mother to stay.
"Take care of yourself and your children." Jiang's mother reluctantly told her.
Yu Zheng said slowly: "Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will take good care of them and their son."
Yu Zheng's words and deeds are consistent, so Jiang's mother can rest assured.
On the carriage back home, Jiang Shu heard the noise of people outside the carriage and all kinds of shouts. He couldn't help but lift the curtains and look out with bright eyes.
Yu Zheng saw the yearning in her eyes and asked warmly, "But do you feel depressed?"
Thinking of this, Yu Zheng felt ashamed of Jiang Shu. She obviously promised not to restrict her before getting married, but she can do business freely as before.
However, the fact is that before getting married, Jiang Shu had already stayed in the boudoir. After getting married, she rarely went out, becoming a housewife waiting for her husband to return home every day.
"Shu'er, I'm sorry." Yu Zheng was full of guilt.
He wanted to set her free, but now was not the time.
Firstly, she is pregnant, and secondly, the Cao family is about to make a move and is surrounded by dangers.
Jiang Shu put down the car curtain and looked away. He turned around and saw Yu Zheng with a guilty look on his face. He smiled warmly and said, "Didn't my husband say that there is no need to apologize between husband and wife?"
Yu Zheng was choked up when he heard this, and then he laughed.
He understood that Jiang Shu didn't want him to blame himself and feel sad.
Reaching out to take her into his arms, Yu Zheng promised her: "When the child is born and when there is peace in Beijing, you can leave the house at will without any restrictions."
"Okay." Jiang Shu leaned against Yu Zheng's warm and broad chest without any complaints.
When a woman gets married and obeys her husband, she should be confined to the house. Yu Zheng has been very tolerant of her.
Furthermore, even if she really became a housewife, she would be willing to do so.
After returning to the palace, Jiang Shu went back to the main courtyard to take a nap, while Yu Zheng went to the study to handle government affairs.
When Jiang Shu woke up, he heard from Tan Yu that the peach blossoms were in full bloom by the lake in the back garden, and wanted to take a look.
Chu Yu helped Jiang Shu just leave the main hospital and met Yu Zheng head-on.
"Husband, are you done?" Jiang Shu was slightly surprised.
Yu Zheng nodded and asked her where she was going.
Jiang Shu's eyes were bright: "The peach blossoms in the back garden are blooming."
"I'll go with you." Yu Zheng took Jiang Shu's hand and asked Chu Yu Lengxing to go back.
Jiang Shu couldn't ask for it.
The afternoon was sunny and warm. The two of them walked hand in hand and saw the pink color by the lake from a distance, hanging on the treetops like a pink cloud.
"It's so beautiful." Jiang Shu exclaimed in surprise and couldn't wait to get closer and admire it.
The pink peach blossoms in bloom are quietly bathing in the sunshine. The meridians on the petals are clearly visible. When you smell it gently, the fragrance is fragrant.
Jiang Shu, who had just woken up from a nap, with a slightly rosy face, stood under the peach blossom tree. Her beauty made people feel soft in their hearts.
Seeing her appearance, Yu Zheng on the side could not help but think of a poem.
The peach blossoms on the human face complement each other in red.
Yu Zheng raised his hand, broke off a sprig of peach blossom, and put it in Jiang Shu's hair.
