This was still called the Light Province? It was only a small part of it, which meant that Gu Yun still had a larger part of it that he did not give to her. How scary would that be?

Xie Jingxi was speechless, she had always felt that Gu Yun was not as simple as he seemed, but she did not expect him to be, not that simple either. Xie Jingxi had roughly looked at him, and just the small businesses in Gu Yun's mouth were all worth more than one Marquis Mansion, these so-called big businesses, were not so simple as to not only hold half of the economic lifeline of the capital.

"You don't need to be too concerned, these businesses are just there for you to practice, you don't need to worry about losing money. Once you do, these will be given to the people under you to do, the family business will be left to you."

Just look at her rich tone. Any one of these businesses could support a large family, but he did not feel sorry for her at all. It was no wonder that his betrothal gifts seemed to be free of money.

Xie Jingxi looked at Gu Yun and kissed him, as if he knew him from the past, "What, are you being an idiot? Don't look at me like that, it makes me feel guilty."

"How about we move out?"

Xie Jingxi was stunned for a long time before saying this, thinking that there was still no need to go to the Ministry of War to care about those useless personnel, wasn't this just burning money? The two of them brought the old lady everywhere, and would be able to live for a few lifetimes easily, why stay at the Marquis Mansion to look at other people's faces? Xie Jingxi did not understand, Gu Yun had so much money under his command, what else was there to leave behind, if it was her, he would have already left.

Hearing her words, Gu Yun was so happy that his eyebrows jumped, "If you really want to move out, that's perfect. I don't want to stay in Marquis Mansion either.

"No, I mean, we should just leave the capital. What do the Ministry of War Department have to do with us?"

Gu Yun saw that she was sneaky, looking like a rich rich rich girl, wanting to walk with his own body. Gu Yun laughed, but was helpless against her, "What are you thinking, it's not the right time to go out now, but if you don't want to stay at the Marquis Mansion, I still have a courtyard to stay at the outskirts of the capital. If you think it's too far, we can move in.

Gu Yun was not in a good condition, finding a good place to stay was not a problem, if he were to establish a new sect in the capital, then it would mean that he had to split his family with Marquis Mansion, and his days would not be safe, but if Gu Yun insisted on going to Ministry of War, moving to the outskirts of the capital was too far of a distance, and it would not be convenient for him to go back and forth.

"I'll just say it. Grandmother is in the capital, I don't want to be too far away from her."

never thought that he would enter the Imperial Court so quickly. His previous plans had also changed, and he would probably still have to stay at the Marquis Mansion for the time being.

took her to play a few times in the outskirts of the capital, and ate all the food at the various restaurants in the capital. She was probably especially treasured that she had nothing to do during these few days, and did not mention any of the Ministry of War books or other troublesome matters, which was exactly what he meant by "honey for oil".

On the day she entered the job, Xie Jingxi was already awake. She wanted to accompany him to breakfast, but was pushed back onto the bed by Gu Yun, "Why are you up so early, there's no harm in sleeping a little longer."

Xie Jingxi's new wife's days could be said to be extremely comfortable, so she didn't need to attend to her in-laws in the morning. Gu Yun had spoilt her days with her as well, so he would accompany her to wake up late every day to pay respects at the Lady Zeng.

Afraid that Gu Yun would think too much, he obediently lay back down. In truth, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, as if she was watching him go to the guillotine. Gu Yun bent over and tapped her forehead, "Be good at home.

Gu Yun was afraid that it would disturb her sleep, and had gotten up not too early, or else he would casually bring some pastries for breakfast on the way. He left in a hurry, and the moment he left, Xie Jingxi would not be able to lie down, so she called Ming Yu in to help her get up.

"Miss, Young Master told you to sleep for a while, it's not even dawn yet."

"I can't fall asleep anyway, so I might as well get up. After breakfast later, call Bai Cao and the others over."

Bai Cao was one of the three girls that Gu Yun had given her. Afraid that she wouldn't understand, Gu Yun found an expert in the accounts to follow her, but in reality, she didn't need to learn this. But what Xie Jingxi did not know was that as long as she had Zhao Zhang outside and Bai Cao in the tent, nothing big could go wrong. Did she really think that Gu Yun would always do things the way he loved others, grabbing all the important things, he did not need to worry too much about these things.

Bai Cao and Xie Jingxi's imagination were different, they thought that she was an intelligent girl, only after seeing her did they realize that she wasn't much older than Xie Jingxi. Her round face was very cute and pleasing, it didn't seem like she was the first person in the tent.

"Good morning Madam."

She was the daughter-in-law of the manager of a rouge shop in Beijing. The couple had followed Gu Yun for many years, and the daughter-in-law was very straightforward, looking more like an accountant than Bai Cao.

"Madam, this is Zhang's account office. He has been under Eldest Young Master's command for many years and is an expert. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."

"Ming Yu, serve tea for the two masters." Xie Jingxi politely told them to sit down, "You two are people that the young master believes in, so there's no need to be so formal here. I called you here for no other reason, I just wanted to get a rough understanding of the accounts.

In fact, Xie Jingxi would still read the account book, but there was no need for her to behave in front of others, and furthermore, she had the intention to test him. After all, no matter how loyal one was to Gu Yun, one would not necessarily have to be completely loyal to her.

Bai Cao chuckled, "Madam is a really easy-going person, in fact it's nothing much, just checking the entrance and exit geometry, the amount of costs, the amount of profits, all of the books in Madam's hands are all handmade by me, when I was learning the accounts, I also had the same headache as Madam, and after I got used to it, I used my own way to set up a new accounting method, it should be easier to get started."

Xie Jingxi had seen it before, and it was true that it was much better than the account books she had seen at Marquis Mansion. She had thought that Gu Yun only had a lot of capable people under him, but had never thought that it was actually done by this little girl.

Bai Cao's parents had all followed Gu Yun to his tent before, so Bai Cao, this girl, had always been with her parents the moment she could talk. She knew how to use her chopsticks to make calculations, and her words were always written in the account book she learned from.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable at such a young age."

Madam, you still don't know, but in our accounting office, each and every one of our abilities is stronger than mine. There's no need to talk about the calculations in the accounting office, as long as you give her a glance, nothing will escape her eyes.

Bai Cao's words were pleasing to the ears, but Zhang Niang Fang was embarrassed by her, "Madam, don't listen to this girl's nonsense, I am only a few years older, I have seen a lot of things. In any case, you don't have to worry about me in the future, if you have any problems with the accounts, you can look for us."

Xie Jingxi nodded her head in satisfaction, "Of course I will have to trouble you two, Ming Yu, go and bring some gifts for the two of you."

Ming Yu brought over some jewelry, one for each of them. It was a top quality item inside Xie Jingxi's dowry, it was no longer expensive, but more unique. Bai Cao was at her age of love for beauty, so she was naturally excited, "This earring is really pretty, I have never worn it so well before, Bai Cao, thank you Madam."

However, Zhang Niang was a bit embarrassed, "Madam, this was originally something that we should have done. You've embarrassed us so much by doing this."

In the end, since she was an elder and knew of a favor, Zhang Niang Fang was able to hold it better than Bai Cao. Hearing her words, Bai Cao started to feel embarrassed, "Oh right, the Madam is such a good item, how can I ask for it?

Bai Cao pouted, unwilling to part with the earring again. She still looked like a child, and laughed, "You can take it, us ladies are the most kind, we don't care about anything else."

Normally, when people saw Xie Jingxi for the first time, they would feel that she was a kind and kind person who was easy to talk to. For example, Xie Jingxi in Bai Cao's eyes, was probably a well-informed, well-behaved wife. She was young, and had never stayed among the women before.

The Zhang Housekeeper was different, after all, she was someone who had seen the world, the two of them were not bad, they were probably intelligent human sperm, although she did not say much, but she understood the situation better than Bai Cao. She had originally thought that with the background of the Eldest Young Master, the new wife would usually be curious and would think of all sorts of ways to get to the bottom of it. If they were smarter, they would probably not act so quickly. They wouldn't say anything on the surface, and their words were full of hints. They would still pretend to be superior. In fact, they would show their cowardice everywhere.

Indeed, Xie Jingxi did not ask them anything, even Eldest Young Master had told them in private, if Madame asked him anything, and did not need to hide it from him, she was afraid that Eldest Young Master trusted her new wife too much, and would end up suffering. Actually, it's not a big deal. After all, there aren't many righteous men in this world. If a woman were to be confused and ask something without asking, she would be considered a fool.

However, Xie Jingxi acted as if she did not care about it, and did not mind making others see her as a joke, but in reality, everyone could tell that the questions she asked were on point. She was not a person who looked down on others and did not understand anything, so if you did not look down on her, you might get into trouble later on.

Forget about other things, the things that she gave Bai Cao were just right in her grasp. Did she really think that the little girl Bai Cao had never seen anything good before? Not to mention the fancy style, it was rare to see her dressed very simply as an account teacher. Even the hairpins on her head couldn't be distracted by the tinkling sounds. Although the fancy ones looked good, they weren't practical, but they were placed at the bottom of the box at home.

As such, whether one was a human or not, they were people that understood not how to pinch people's hearts, and killing one's own hands and feet was equivalent to burning point. From that point on, Zhang Ye did not dare to underestimate this lady, and respectfully took his things before following Bai Cao out the door and letting out a long breath.

"Why do you seem so nervous? Madam has gotten more benefits than I thought, she's actually a kind-hearted person. Eldest Young Master sure is fortunate. Tell me, how is madam so good-looking? I can't see how she dressed up, but she's pretty."

"We just need to follow Madam properly. Madame and Eldest Young Master will not treat us unfairly."

Bai Cao was completely confused by her words, who else could she be thinking of besides them?

After eating lunch, he was just about to rest when he saw Feng Jing, the big girl in front of the Lady Zeng, running towards him in a flurry. Ming Yu stopped her at the door, "Sister Feng Jing, why are you so flustered, is there something wrong?"

When she came in, Xie Jingxi opened her eyes, and only heard Feng Jing say: "Sister Ming Yu, Grand Mistress is here, my wife was already feeling hot last night, and she woke up this morning to ask about family matters, and in the morning she was already not well, and did not eat lunch, and went to sleep. Just now, I went to take a look, and saw that it was already burnt to the point of not recognizing people, that Marquis and Marquis are not here, and those who do not have business in the house, so I came over to trouble Grand Mistress."

Hearing that, Xie Jingxi had no choice but to get up, at this time, if she did not go over to take a look, it would seem a little cold, "Ming Yu, call Feng Jin in."

"Madam, please go and take a look at our wife. Even if the family's doctors prescribe medicine for her, it still wouldn't be effective. Will there be any problems?"

Xie Jingxi put on her clothes, "Did you go to the palace to invite the Imperial Physician Pei s?"

"They have already sent someone to invite him, but it will most likely be some time yet. Right now, right now …"

"Alright, don't be hasty. I'll go take a look now."

Xie Jingxi forced herself to focus. Once Gu Yun assumed his position, the urgent matters immediately came. At first, Xie Jingxi thought that it was just normal fever, and looking at the danger of it when she was older, but when she looked at Lady Zeng's body temperature, she knew that she was having second thoughts, or maybe this was not normal fever.

Xie Jingxi had a little knowledge on medicine, but because sshe did not know the cause of the disease, he could not randomly take the medicine. Most probably, the prescription given by the doctor at home that had a fever did not have any effect, so she could only wait for Imperial Physician Pei to come in to make her judgement.

clenched his teeth, and ordered the parsley to prepare the cold water and white spirit. He had no other choice, he wanted to first lower the temperature in the Lady Zeng, before doing anything else.

"Mother, sorry for offending you."

This was also the first time she had tried this method, so she did not know how effective it was. She simply decided to risk it all and not care about it too much. When the Lady Zeng's body was not burning that scarily hot, Xie Jingxi stopped, but she herself was sweating profusely.

"Miss, are you alright?"

When Xie Jingxi stood up, she swayed a little, but luckily Ming Yu was supporting him. "I'm fine, quickly get my wife dressed, and cover my forehead with a handkerchief soaked in cold water."

Feng Jing saw that Xie Jingxi's method was useful and trusted Xie Jingxi more. She would do whatever he said, and when Lady Zeng was dressed up, Imperial Physician Pei would also go in.
