Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved
Chapter 5: The Mistress of the Governor's Mansion
An Nan motioned for Nanny Su to be quiet, and smiled at Uncle Da, "Nanny Su is a straightforward person. She has been through a hard journey, so it's understandable that she may be annoyed for a while, but she has no other intentions. Please don't be offended, Uncle Da."
After hearing this, Uncle Da felt relieved. He didn't even care about etiquette. He just nodded roughly and ran away. His originally lame leg now seemed to be quite useful.
Annan joked, "Look, Mama! You are the best doctor here! Uncle Da's leg has been lame for who knows how many years, and now you have cured it!"
All the little girls laughed, and Nanny Su blushed and started to laugh and cry as well.
An Nan knew that she had always had the habit of writing letters home, and was afraid that this matter would be reported back, causing more trouble to her loving mother and two uncles, so he explained to her: "This is a border town, so it is naturally not comparable to Bianjing. No matter how comfortable and cozy it is, it is not worth it. All we need is peace. This house is very close to the two thousand households, and there are soldiers at home. It is really the best arrangement."
"Besides," Anan pointed to the Metasequoia trees in the courtyard with a smile, "Madam, have you ever seen such a large Metasequoia tree in Beijing?"
Nanny Su had spent most of her life in the inner house, so she knew that she was trying to comfort herself. She wiped her tears and spat fiercely, "Second Master, that damned bastard! He deserves to be cut into pieces, and all his bones, blood, and flesh should be fed to the dogs!"
Seeing that she no longer complained about the accommodation here, Annan felt relieved. He leaned lazily on her, watching the maids clean up the house with a smile on his face.
"I don't know what the son-in-law is thinking! Just based on this courtyard, even if we don't come, he won't be able to move around even if he lives alone! He actually settled so many wounded soldiers in the outer courtyard! He really thinks this is a military camp! But where are our people? Are they sleeping in front of the gate of their governor's mansion?" While waiting for everyone to be settled, Nanny Su was so worried that her eyes were wide open.
"That's not difficult." An Nan pulled her and smiled, "You can ask Chengzi to find a larger farm outside the city to accommodate everyone. We are all farmers, so it's not difficult for us to make a living on the farm. As for the doctors, let's first place them in the governor's office, and then place them after we're done with the farm."
No matter what the world is like, money is king. The heavy dowry is Miss Anan's support in her husband's family.
Chengzi is the son of Nanny Su. He is an expert in household management and has always worked under his uncle. This time he was brought here as a dowry along with the five farms in the capital.
Originally, Nanny Su brought him along to "visit her parents" just to have him take care of the trivial matters along the way. Who would have thought that it would be a blessing in disguise and have him help expand the territory here. The more he thought about it, the more indignant he became. He smiled bitterly and said, "What's going on? We are just here to visit our parents, but it's like we have to live here forever!"
"Don't they say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows?" An Nan put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's take this opportunity to build some property. If something happens in the future, at least we'll have a place to hide. And it will save you from worrying all the time."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" Nanny Su immediately understood and scolded her with a stern face, "You haven't even met the master yet, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"That's right. We haven't even seen our son-in-law yet, and I don't know who is crying." Annan smiled at her.
Su Cheng is indeed efficient in his work.
In just half a month, he had purchased three farms and settled all the people he brought from home.
When I presented the accounts a year later, I actually started to make some money.
During this year, the doctors placed by Anan in the Governor's Mansion were not idle either, and they treated the wounded in the mansion.
The two uncles were in the medical business, and the doctors they brought with them were the best, and they were a hundred times better than the doctors they found outside. In addition, she brought all kinds of medicinal materials when she came, and in just one year, almost all the wounded in the mansion were settled.
Some returned to the battlefield after recovering from their injuries, some returned home due to disability, and some had nowhere to go and were resettled in the farm. When they left, Anan asked Uncle Da to give them some pocket money.
Nanny Su complained every day that it was no wonder that the Governor's Mansion was so shabby, and all the Governor's salary was used to support the wounded.
Uncle Da was still not good at dealing with Aunt Su. Whenever he heard these words, he would turn his head away with a red face. One day, he came to get the account book and saw that only Dong Qing was there. After hesitating for a long time, he whispered, "Madam..."
