Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Seeing her like this, Anan remembered that day when they first met, she took out all the copper coins from her waist to buy him candied haws. After many years of military career, she didn't have much savings. Now her face was painful and solemn but full of determination. He couldn't help laughing: "Where are you going?"

"The world is so big, there is always a place for me." Chu Qing lowered her head. Her heart was instantly torn apart at the thought that she would never see Hong Yuan again. She was afraid that Anan would see through her, so she kept her head down the whole time.

Anan smiled and said, "I am currently looking for help. If you don't mind this dull inner house, why not stay and help me!"

Chu Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at Anan in disbelief.

"I just happen to be in need of an accountant." Anan looked at her with a heartfelt smile.

“Madam…” Chu Qing couldn’t make out the smile in her eyes, but he felt a little shaken in his heart.

She had been accustomed to living in the open air for these years, so even if she really went out to wander, she would not die. Chu Qing was not nostalgic for the comfortable life in the inner house, but she thought that if she became the lady's servant, she would be able to see Hong Yuan, which might be a good idea.

"Don't rush to refuse." Anan said with a smile, "Think about it carefully, and come back to me when you have made up your mind..."

"But, Madam," she hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I have some martial arts skills. If you don't mind, I can be your guard."

"What I need is an accountant." Anan looked at her calmly.

"Well, I can't do anything..." Chu Qing's heart was broken at the moment. Although this opportunity was excellent, she really couldn't grasp it. How could she, who had hardly received any education and could not even recognize a few big characters, dare to help others with accounting?

"I wouldn't have mistaken you." Anan patted her shoulder and said softly, "You can remember such complicated martial arts moves. It's just nine numbers anyway. How could you not understand them?"

Chu Qing hesitated, and Anan took her along, whispering, "You can see that my husband is not at home right now, and this house is so big that I can't take care of it all by myself, so you should stay and help me! I don't trust anyone else except you."

Chu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, held Anan's hand, nodded with some embarrassment, and said awkwardly: "Madam, I will try it first to tide over the difficulties temporarily. Please find a better person as soon as possible."

"Well, that's great!" Anan held her hand and grinned.

She found a small courtyard next to her own Hengwu Courtyard to house Chu Qing, and then Nanny Su came over and looked at her with a half-smile: "I heard that you found yourself an accountant who can't do accounting?"

Anan smiled and nodded, "Yeah."

Nanny Su glanced at her, her expression growing increasingly angry.

Bai Shao hurriedly said with a smile: "Mammy, the young lady has her own reasons for doing this..."

"I've told you so many times to call me Madam! Don't let your husband's family laugh at you!" Nanny Su scolded Bai Shao before she could finish her words.

Anan smiled and nodded, saying, "Mammy, from today on, you will be in charge of Miss Qingqing!"

Nanny Su was stunned for a moment: "Didn't she say she was the accountant? Do you want to treat her as a maid?"

"No!" Anan smiled at Madam Su, "Madam, teach her the same way you taught me that day. Beat her if she deserves to be beaten, punish her if she deserves to be punished, and make sure she learns how to be a housekeeper and keep accounts."

"Could it be that this is the girl you chose for your brother-in-law?" Nanny Su was completely stunned.
