At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Xie Chengjing said, "You don't have to worry about the business in Dingzhou City. Mo Bai is doing very well."

Then he opened the box, revealing a row of gold ingots.

"These are the start-up funds for opening a shopping mall that you mentioned earlier. You have the final say on where to open it later."

When Jiang Zao saw so many gold ingots, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but smile slightly, "Thank you, Third Prince."

"I have also informed Linzhou Prefecture, and he will cooperate with anything you need."

"That would be perfect."

After talking for a while, Jiang Zao was exhausted and lay down with the help of Que Yunsheng.

I woke up at dinner time, and when I woke up I unexpectedly found two girls who looked identical beside my bed.

"Who are you? Where is Que Yunsheng?" As soon as Jiang Zao opened his mouth, the two of them spoke at the same time.

"Hello, young lady. We are from the Quguan team and are here to serve you. We are twins, fourteen years old. My name is Qiu Shuang."

"My name is Dongxue."

"Master Que said that if the young lady has any instructions, just tell us. This is our indenture."

After saying that, the girl named Qiu Shuang handed over two pieces of paper.

Although Jiang Zao was puzzled, he accepted it and asked casually, "Where is Que Yunsheng?"

"Master Que was urgently summoned by the military camp, so he left in the afternoon. Miss, this is the letter left by Master Que."

Qiu Shuang handed over a letter.

The envelope is sealed with wax.

Jiang Zao took it and opened it carefully.

The two maids looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, without moving a muscle.

The letter said that a lone man was coming to attack, and the military camp urgently summoned him, so Que Yunsheng had to leave temporarily. The two maids left behind were twins, and he had rescued them some time ago. The elder sister knew some martial arts, and the younger sister knew some medical skills, so they were kept for Jiang Zao to protect himself. There was no need to worry about them having second thoughts.

Jiang Zao read the letter carefully several times before putting it away carefully.

"I understand, you go down first."

The two sisters looked at each other and said, "Miss, we will be guarding the door. Call us if you need anything."

After saying that, he went out and closed the door carefully.

Jiang Zao exhaled a breath, her whole body still in great pain, but she didn't show it at all in front of others.

Sitting on the bed, Jiang Zao thought carefully about recent events, sorted out his thoughts, and fell asleep again after dinner.

She is still very weak and needs a lot of rest to recover.

As she improved, things under her control did not stop developing.

The staff dormitories are being rebuilt, and it is said that a high wall has been reinforced. After the cement road leading to Dingzhou was repaired, the number of people coming and going increased.

Promoted the economic development of Fufeng County.

As the year draws to a close, everyone feels insecure because of the intrusion of these lone men, which could have been a good time for the year.

There are fewer pedestrians on the street.

The good news is that Dingzhou City has sent a group of soldiers to help Fufeng County defend itself.

Jiang Zao thought that this should be Xie Chengjing's credit.

Que Yunsheng continued to advance into Du Ren's territory, causing the Du Ren area, which had previously had no progress, to slowly retreat.

The northern border that originally belonged to the Da Xie Dynasty slowly returned to its original territory.

The news of Que Yunsheng's bravery spread to the place where Du Ren was. Du Ren was so scared that he wanted to throw down his weapons and weapons at the mention of Que Yunsheng.

It also made Que Yunsheng rise to another level.

He became a thousand-man commander.

Jiang Zao's yard was also moved to a new location, becoming larger and more spacious, and he had a dozen more old women, servants and maids under him.

Jiang Zao said that these people were not needed. There are only a few people in the family.

But Que Yunsheng insisted that they were necessary, and Jiang Zao couldn't argue with him, so he had to accept them all.

Now, she is even busier. She used to take care of business matters, but now she has to take care of these people too.

He simply called Mo Bai back and Xia Hua back, and the two of them worked together to manage her yard.

Now when she goes out, she is accompanied by four maids, two old women and two servants, making for a very grand occasion.

By the time she has fully recovered, the New Year will have arrived.

This is Jiang Zao's first year spent here.

Naturally, the preparations must be lively.

Even if there are personal matters ahead, it still can't stop people from wanting to celebrate the New Year.

Red lanterns are hung in every street and alley, and everyone is in high spirits.

How can I not be joyful?

The lone man was driven away by General Que Qian, and there was no more news of him invading the surrounding villages. They could have a good new year.

This is a great thing.

Jiang Zao was also preparing everything very carefully.

The yard had been swept clean long ago, and the snow was cleared every day so that people would not slip when walking on it.

There are couplets posted in every house, and a big "Fu" character on the door.

Que Yunsheng gave himself three days off and took Chen Xiaoliu and five others to Fufeng County to celebrate the New Year.

He also helped with cleaning, putting up couplets and cooking.

Xie Chengjing happened to come over and saw Que Yunsheng busying around. He couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

When they were alone, he said, "You are a man, why do you do these things? There are so many scary things, and your fiancée is here, won't they do it? Do you still need to worry about it?"

Que Yunsheng coughed, "Master Fang, Jiang Zao is my family member. I naturally feel bad for her being so busy. Besides, I am idle anyway. If I do more, she will do less. I don't want her to be tired."

For some reason, Que Yunsheng was originally a man of few words, but when facing Xie Chengjing, he couldn't help but speak well of Jiang Zao, especially how good Jiang Zao was to him.

"Although Jiang Zao doesn't want me to be tired and always asks me to rest, I don't want her to be tired either. We have come this far because of each other's support. I respect her and she cares about me very much. I believe that when we get married in the future, we will be a couple who respect each other like guests."

The word "husband and wife" came out of Que Yunsheng's mouth so smoothly, but if you asked him to say it in front of Jiang Zao, he would definitely not dare to do so.

His relationship with Jiang Zao was getting better and better, but neither of them took it any further.

After everything was cleaned up, it was time to have the reunion dinner.

Although Que Yunsheng was very reluctant, he still let Xie Chengjing sit in the main seat. After all, he had the highest status here. Others might not know it, but he and Jiang Zao must know it.

Speaking of the meal, it was not as sumptuous as the one Xie Chengjing had in the palace.

But it has a homely feel.

Xie Chengjing sat in the middle, Que Yunsheng was on his left, Jiang Zao was on his right, and Xia Hua and Shi Zhu were setting the table.

Que Yunsheng raised his glass first, "Mr. Fang, I hope everything goes well for you in the coming year."

Xie Chengjing clinked glasses with him, drank it in one gulp, and then said to Jiang Zao, "Miss Jiang, you should also take a sip."

Jiang Zao poured himself a cup of tea, "Thank you, Mr. Fang. I don't drink, so I'll use tea instead. I wish you all the best in the coming year."

The three of them said this in unison.

"all the best."

Jiang Zao thought silently in his heart that he hoped Que Yunsheng would be in good health and get better and better.

I hope I can get better and better and live well in this era.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, the old year has passed and the new year has arrived.
