Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Jiang Fulu showed a scheming smile and sighed: "People, character is very important. Lu Yushi and Yu Jijiu were originally the chief assistants of Wei, why did they turn to serve me?"

In recent years, the manpower of Chief Wei has been getting smaller and smaller, and he has gained some status by relying on his elders.

Jiang Fulu is different. He understands his respect and respects his character.

Mo Qianyu rolled his eyes. No wonder Xie Zhao had grown to respect Jiang Fulu recently and was deceived!

Killing enemies in the north does not mean that Mo Qianyu cannot hear news from the capital. He revealed: "Master Jiang, I heard that the two adults of the Zhao family are originally from your side. Why did they turn their backs on you?"

Jiang Fulu finished chewing the last piece of meat from the chicken leg and said with great disdain: "Do you think any character can join my team?"

Jiang Fulu emphasized: "It's not that those two people betrayed them, they were driven out by me!"

Halfway through the dragon boat race, it ended with something going wrong on the side of Wei Shoufu.

Jiang Fulu had all the expectations, but several adults who didn't know how to swim were frightened, and the dragon boat race ended without a problem.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Fulu was very open-minded about this: "Your Majesty, today is a good day. Let's worship the river god and pray for good weather and good fortune for our country."

Xiao She was right again, scolding Jiang Fulu in his heart as an old fox, and all the good people were fooled by him!

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Jiang Fulu stayed up all night and took Ms. Chen to count money at home.

"Madam, no wonder gambling is banned among the people. The money we receive in one day is more than the master and I have received gifts in several years!"

After all, corruption has a bad reputation, but the money gained from gambling is justifiable.

After a sleepless night, Jiang Fulu went to the morning court in high spirits, leaving Chen to tidy up the warehouse.

Manager Jiang asked: "Madam, why don't you leave 20 taels of personal money for me?"

Mrs. Chen refused without thinking: "Have you forgotten that I just drank so much that I went crazy?"

Jiang Fulu likes wine. He spends it on food at home, and he doesn't go to the flower house to have fun. All the money he saves is spent on wine.

Originally, Mrs. Chen turned a blind eye and didn't want to watch her too closely, but Jiang Fulu failed to live up to his expectations.

After being drunk, he made a lot of fools of himself. If he did something indecent in front of the emperor, the Jiang family would be in trouble.

In the morning, Chief Wei took leave due to illness.

After returning home, Jiang Fulu hummed a ditty and said, "Madam, let's not scold you this time. Master, I'm going to visit Chief Wei."

Anyway, he must be the person that the Chief Wei wants to see the most right now.

It’s never easy to go to visit empty-handed.

Jiang Fulu rubbed Chen's shoulders and said, "If I earn so much money for my husband, can I get some symbolic benefits?"

Chen didn't want to give a single coin, but she couldn't immediately dampen Jiang Fulu's enthusiasm. She smiled and said, "Master, our relationship with the Wei family is bad. If you give me too much, I'll feel sad."

Jiang Fulu thought about this. Since Chief Wei Wei was sick, he would send some supplements.

Mrs. Chen immediately had an idea: "While the Second Young Master is away, go and capture Hong Hong and send her to the Wei family."

After hearing this, the maid agreed and asked again: "Where is the second young master..."

Mrs. Chen waved her hand nonchalantly: "Buy another red one to make up for it. He can't see it anyway!"

When the maid walked to the door, Mrs. Chen thought of Jiang Huaiqing's search for goose eggs every day, rubbed her forehead and said, "Go buy a goose that lays eggs!"

When the time comes to save up the goose eggs, Jiang Huaiqing will cook scrambled eggs to deliver a message to Jiang Yuzhu. Mrs. Chen can also see her daughter more often: "In the future, any shortages will be automatically made up. Buy the mother geese."

"Yes, ma'am!"

The maid couldn't help but sympathize with the second young master. Thinking of the smell of stewed goose meat, the maid's only sympathy disappeared.

At sunset, the sky is dyed with a faint purple haze.

Jiang Yuzhu rushed back from the other courtyard with her maid, planning to find an authentic small restaurant for dinner.

Hong Li suddenly remembered and said: "When I went out with you this morning, I seemed to have heard something from the kitchen, the master went to work early today and hosted a banquet for General Mo at my house."

Mo Qianyu was the one who contributed to this dragon boat race.

"Are there guests at home?"

Jiang Yuzhu's eyebrows moved slightly, and she approached Hong Xiu beside her and said, "You can go to the restaurant later and order some Beidi stews. The portions should be large and they can be sent back to your house."

Hongxiu received the order and sighed: "Madam, you are more interested in me than before."

Xie Zhao entertains the guests, and Jiang Yuzhu delivers the dishes, showing that they value the guests.

This also adds face to Xie Zhao.

After Hong Xiu left, Hong Li asked, "Do you want to thank me?"

Jiang Yuzhu was making calculations when she heard this and asked in confusion: "How can I thank him?"

The red carp was also confused: "Isn't it because of the dragon boat race that you only added food to the master's distinguished guests?"

"Hong Li, is your wife so kind?"

Jiang Yuzhu shook her head. It was not like she had not helped Xie Zhao clean up the mess and helped each other.

Besides, she was a widow and had not yet married Xie Zhao, so he should do these things based on their status as husband and wife.

Hong Li was immediately brainwashed and thought that what his wife said was quite reasonable: "Then why do you give food to others and do what they want..."

Hong Li thought that his wife had said that most of the scholars were pretty boys. Could it be that he had fallen in love with military generals?

"For the second brother."

Jiang Yuzhu clicked the melon seeds on the little head of the red carp and said with a smile.

The soldiers from the camp in the north of the city returned to Beijing, which was a good opportunity for Jiang Huaiqing.

In order to practice martial arts, Jiang Huaiqing invited famous teachers from all over the world, but although those people had some foundation and were very showy, they were mostly just showboats and could not compare with the soldiers who had been on the battlefield.

Zhang Zhong has been practicing martial arts for many years. When he was working as a coolie in the Jiang family to atone for his sins, he and Jiang Huaiqing got into a fight, and they were evenly matched.

Jiang Yuzhu believed that her second brother had potential in this area and wanted to find a powerful master for him.

"Practice martial arts to strengthen your body and protect yourself and your family. If Princess Yutan beats him, won't the second brother be able to survive if he runs faster?"

It is better to improve yourself than to expect others to change their gender.

Jiang Yuzhu supports Princess Yutan but also feels sorry for her second brother, especially since the brother and sister are so close.

The road to the north of the city is narrow and winding, and the ground is full of potholes.

The carriage was too bumpy, so Jiang Yuzhu took the maid out of the carriage and walked.

There was noise from the alley ahead. Jiang Yuzhu stood still and glanced casually.

The red glow of the setting sun did not reach the alley, and a thick layer of moss grew on the wall in the shade.

Three or four men gathered together, punched and kicked the man in the middle, and cursed: "Working requires wages, do you deserve it? You are just a villain who betrayed your master, and any beating you get will be light!"

The man in the middle received the punches and kicks without resisting or making any sound of begging for mercy.

Hong Jin practices martial arts and has good eyesight: "Madam, the one who was beaten seems to be Zhao Zhe's servant Chongyang."

Xie Zhao always kept a clear distinction between public and private cases. Although Chongyang was Zhao Zhe's servant, he did not participate in it. He was unaware of Zhao Zhe's actions but made meritorious service by exposing him.

After Zhao Zhe was exiled, Chongyang was beaten to death and driven out of the Zhao family. Unexpectedly, he was working in the North and was bullied.

"Go and have a look."

Jiang Yuzhu led the maid to the alley and stood behind a few men.
