Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Chapter 17: Housekeeper and Director (1)

With today's urgent problem solved, Shuyu felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and spoke directly to Jinyun, hoping that Anan could stay in her courtyard.

Jinyun felt a little embarrassed and looked at Anan very awkwardly.

Seeing this, Shuyu hurried forward and said, "Sir, today's matter has been resolved, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? You also have things to do, and I can't bother you to come and help me out every day. Those stewards who left temporarily just said they would take their time, and they will come back eventually! Even if my old man wakes up, I'm afraid he won't have the energy to deal with them in a short time. Anyway, Butler Anan is a good hand, so why not help me here first? Even if you get married in the future, it will be experience, right?"

The last sentence was obviously meant for Anan.

Jinyun knew that she was telling the truth, so he looked at Anan and asked with a smile, "What do you think, Miss Nan?"

Anan wanted to refuse, so he smiled at the nervous Shuyu and said, "I don't know the seriousness of the matter. I was in a hurry today and didn't have time to think too much before I stepped forward. Fortunately, I got the job done. It would be best if Aunt Yu doesn't blame me."

"What are you talking about!" Shuyu's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she held her hand tightly. "If it weren't for you today, I really don't know how this would end!"

Jinyun thought for a moment, then bowed to Anan and said, "Miss, you are too modest. I know the managers in this manor best. They are all troublesome. How can they be dismissed by just a few words? Although Aunt Yu is a little anxious, she is right. Uncle Jue's illness is indeed caused by overwork. I hope Miss Nan can lend a hand."

There are many secrets hidden in Xinyun Manor. If you are smart enough, you should not get too involved in it. But Anan looked at the pitiful Shuyu, the courteous Jinyun, and looked back at the mountain of manor affairs on the table, and he could no longer say no.

She smiled and said, "Thank you two for not minding me. Aunt Yu will just take care of Uncle Jue. Leave the matters here to me for the time being! If you are unsure, I will go and ask Uncle Jue for advice."

Jinyun felt relieved and nodded repeatedly with a smile.

"How about..." Shuyu felt a little guilty and asked weakly, "Let Miss Fu come over to help you?"

Speaking of Xiaofu, ever since she got the excuse to study medicine, she wanted to have thirteen hours a day, sticking to Jinyun all the time, and even changed her usual lazy and gluttonous nature. Jinyun was busy from morning till night, and she was also busy all day long. Although they lived in the same room, Anan rarely saw her.

Thinking of this, Anan looked at Jinyun, shook his head and smiled, "Her coming here will only get in the way."

When Shuyu heard her say this, she felt a little uneasy, but she was too worried about her husband, so she just said a few polite words and went to her husband's room with a happy face.

At this moment, Jinyun and Anan were the only ones left in the accounting office, looking at each other and smiling.

That afternoon, Jinyun ordered people to inform all the people in charge of the household that until Wang Jue recovered, Anan would temporarily take over the responsibilities of the housekeeper and would be in charge of all matters.

Anan had no time to listen to the reactions of the people outside. He spent the entire night sorting out all the books piled on the desk.

At dawn, the sun came in and she stood up to stretch her stiff limbs.

The little girl Chunyue, who was ordered to help Anan with the farmwork yesterday, was still sleeping soundly on the bench outside. She got up quietly and planned to go to the kitchen to get some hot water for tea. She looked up and saw Jinyun walking towards them with a medicine box on his back. She was a little surprised and smiled at her, "So early?"

Anan smiled at him and said, "Good morning, sir."

He stopped, looked down at her, and suddenly smiled: "If you have any difficulties, you can always come to me."

Anan could hear the concern in his tone, so she smiled and nodded and responded. She was so tired and thirsty that she didn't bother to greet him and left him in a hurry to the kitchen.

When she came back with the hot water, Jinyun came back and sat in the accounting office with his medicine box at the foot of the table. He was carefully sorting out the messy books for her.

The little girl Chunyue was still sleeping.
