Chapter 350 New Servant
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, what are you talking about?" Jiang Yue let go of the two guards and walked towards Zhao Yuanzhen, ready to explain things to him, but she saw that His Highness the Crown Prince attacked her without giving her any explanation.
Jiang Yue did the same thing as before, just slightly moving to the side.
Zhao Yuanzhen's attack missed and when he turned around, he wanted to slap Jiang Yue next to him again, as if she was the unforgivable one.
Jiang Yue dodged slightly again.
She dodged again and again, over and over again.
Zhao Yuanzhen was not well prepared and was pushed forward by Jiang Yue. He staggered and was then caught by Jiang Yue.
Then, Jiang Yue quickly let go and took a few steps back.
Before Zhao Chongzhen got angry again, she still tried to reason with the furious Crown Prince:
"Your Highness, please calm down. I have no intention of framing the Fourth Prince. That day in the Biyue Tower, it was the Fourth Prince who invited me to go there to find out the truth about Beiyan."
"Like you, I believe that the Fourth Prince has no second thoughts about His Majesty!"
She tried her best to make it clear that she and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were a united front.
If I didn't say this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get away.
Sure enough, Zhao Yuanzhen steadied himself after hearing this, panting but his eyes froze instantly:
"If that's the case, why did Father allow Fourth Uncle to be imprisoned unjustly?"
Jiang Yue: "Things are a bit complicated, but the innocent will be innocent."
At this moment, a voice came from a distance asking, "Yuanzhen, what are you doing?"
When everyone looked, they saw that it was the Queen who came hurriedly accompanied by her palace maids.
When Jiang Yue saw the queen for the first time, she felt that she had a fierce look and looked very wealthy, but she never forgot to be polite.
The queen's surname was Zeng and her name was Zeng Wan'er. She was the eldest daughter of General Zeng.
Because she looked to be in her twenties, Jiang Yue guessed that she should be the queen consort.
When Zhao Yuanzhen saw the queen, his angry expression turned into politeness and distance.
"My Lord, I admire Jiang Jiangyue's talent, so I want to make friends with her."
Jiang Yue was slightly stunned. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not been so persistent in pestering her just now, she would have suspected that what had just happened was just an illusion.
The queen came closer and looked at Jiang Yue.
"What does your majesty want to see you for?"
"Your Majesty, His Majesty asked about yesterday's situation."
The Queen nodded slightly and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen again:
"Yuanzhen, don't be reckless. His Majesty is now using General Jiang. If your behavior just now gets out, won't people think you are jealous and intolerant?"
Only then did Zhao Yuanzhen realize that the Queen had seen everything that had just happened.
He just said calmly: "I know I was wrong."
…Jiang Yue left the palace very late today.
Today's twists and turns had left her physically and mentally exhausted. She was even more tired than fighting on the battlefield.
Although it is not easy to gain a foothold in the court, she believes in herself.
Since you have been involved in the court turmoil, just accept it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the general's mansion, he saw Chen Yuan wandering outside the gate, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Yue coming out, Chen Yuan ran over first.
Jiang Yue was puzzled: "General Chen, is there something wrong?"
Chen Yuan: "Why do you have foresight?"
He was praised by Your Majesty today, so he made this inquiry.
Jiang Yue: "It is General Chen's duty to guard the city gates."
"Recently, there are more grain merchants and grain dealers outside the city, and I have blocked them at the city gate. At this moment, they are making trouble at the city gate, saying that I will not give them a way to live." That's right, this is the real purpose of Chen Yuan's blocking people.
"Well done." Jiang Yue knew that her last words were not in vain. She thought about returning home first, and after having lunch, she would go to the city gate for inspection.
"Remember, don't let them into the city." She felt that the sudden food shortage must be a problem.
Jiang Yue thought of her childhood, when she had to pay endless taxes after every autumn harvest.
At that time, I only felt that the people were suffering. Later, when I joined the army, I felt that there was too little food and not enough to eat.
And now, even the capital city cannot avoid this situation.
Chen Yuan: "But... you also heard that if the people have no food to eat in a few days, I'm afraid that the Minister of Finance and the ministers in the court will be the first to blame me for this."
Jiang Yue: "It won't take a few days."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Yue thought of the grain merchant. This matter was a secret order from His Majesty, so he didn't want to say too much. He just said, "General Chen, just guard your city with peace of mind."
...After seeing Chen Yuan off, Jiang Yue returned to the mansion, where she was greeted by some maids and servants standing in an orderly manner.
Lin Guo and Mu Heng, who were standing nearby, were also waiting for Jiang Yue to return home.
The two had just heard the conversation between Jiang Yue and Chen Yuan, and thought this matter was strange.
Seeing Jiang Yue, Lin Guo was the first to say:
"General Yue, the person has been bought."
It was their first time going to a place like a dental clinic, so they didn't need any experience. Lin Guo and Mu Heng just picked out ten people who looked pleasing and well-behaved.
Jiang Yue took a quick look and saw four girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, two women in their thirties, and four young men of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Jiang Yue took a quick look and saw four girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, two women in their thirties, and four young men of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The ten men only realized after they entered the mansion that they had come to the general's residence. They began to feel uneasy from then on, fearing that the general would be difficult to serve and would send them away if he made a mistake.
Now that I saw that the general was actually a teenager, the anxiety in my heart was lessened.
Jiang Yue found it pleasing to the eye.
She asked Lin Guo and the others:
"Have you ever looked at their past resumes?"
Mu Heng said: "I have checked, they are all innocent."
"Okay." Jiang Yue stood in front of the crowd. After seeing her, the ten people knelt down to greet their master.
Jiang Yue waved her hand, signaling everyone to stand up.
"Give me your name."
The two women said one after another:
"Your servants Fen Niang and Lian Niang greet the general."
"Can you cook?" Jiang Yue asked.
Her general's mansion was in need of a cook.
"General," Nafenniang said, "I used to be a cook."
However, the family that she had worked for fell into poverty, so they sold her to a dental clinic.
"Yeah." Jiang Yue was very satisfied with Fen Niang's reply, and asked Xiang Lian Niang: "What about you?"
Lian Niang was born with broad shoulders and a big waist, with a sturdy figure, giving people a feeling of being bold and generous.
"General, I am very strong and can cook for more than 200 people."
"Okay!" Jiang Yue said:
"You two will be responsible for the food issues in the general's mansion from now on. In addition, I will gradually add more staff in the future."
When the two heard this, they were delighted and knelt down hurriedly and said:
"Yes."
"Stand up. Don't kneel down at every turn." Jiang Yue discovered that the rules in Lindu City were more than those in other places.
"Yes." Fen Niang and Lian Niang's first impression of the general was that the young general was compassionate to his servants. He was not as ferocious as they had imagined, and was much better than their previous master.
Jiang Yue: "Brother-in-law, Third Brother-in-law, take the two cooks to the kitchen to familiarize yourself with the environment."
Speaking of the kitchen, Lin Guo suddenly thought of something.
"General Yue, when we went out to the pawnshop today, we saw people rushing to buy food. We were afraid that the food would be gone and the food in the general's mansion was not enough, so we wanted to buy some. But after we finally got in line, the food was sold out."
After hearing this, Jiang Yue was not too surprised because she knew it in advance.
She asked: "Have food prices increased?"
"It doubled." Mu Heng said.
After they finished their report, they left with the two cooks.
"What are their names?" Jiang Yue pondered for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the four maids and four servants.
They were thin and their clothes were ragged.
The four girls were sold for food because their parents could not survive because their families were poor. At this moment, one of the girls stepped forward and said timidly:
"My maid's name is Niu'er, it's just a nickname, not worthy of being on the stage."
The other three girls also lowered their eyes timidly and twisted their fingers.
Just at this moment, Jiang Yue saw her fifth sister, Feng Jinrong, and Yu Ziyan come in one after another.
When the three saw the maids and servants, they were stunned at first, and then they immediately understood why they were there.
At this moment, he couldn't help but stand behind Jiang Yue.
When Jiang Yue saw the three people, she thought of what happened yesterday and guessed what they did today.
She looked at Jiang Wuni and didn’t want to think about it anymore. Fortunately, she still had a fifth sister.
"Sister, they will be members of the General's Mansion in the future. Please give these girls names."
