Chapter 136 Housekeeper
"Pah!" Yu Jiuer slapped the table in anger. "With just this little bit of silver seized from the mountain, you want me to support the entire Yulin Army? My Lord, you are addicted to being a hands-off manager, right?"
Jun Mo said as a matter of course: "What's wrong with that? Men are responsible for the outside world, and women are responsible for the inside world! You are the Princess of Jing, so the food, clothing, housing and transportation of my subordinates must naturally be managed by the mistress!"
"Bah! Those two in Prince Jing's Mansion are your Prince Jing's Consort. I'm just a has-been, has-been future princess. Don't take me seriously!" Yu Jiuer did not hesitate to belittle herself just to remove the title of Prince Jing's Consort from her.
"I said you are! You are it!" Jun Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, very unhappy that she was eager to cut off ties with him.
Yu Jiuer didn't want to argue with him in public, so she glanced at everyone, gritted her teeth and reluctantly said, "I'll only take half of the silver, and divide the rest between the Yulin Army and the Xiguan Camp!"
"No! Sister, our Xiguan Camp will also rely on you in the future! I won't take it!" Cheng Ming stood up to protest, refusing to take the money, and said openly, "Yu Wushuang already has 10,000 prisoners, so it doesn't matter if you raise a few more! We have decided to follow you from now on!"
"What?" Yu Jiuer felt something was wrong. She jumped up in surprise and looked around. "So you guys have already agreed to let me take care of the Yulin Army and Xiguan Camp?"
Then, Yu Jiuer saw that everyone in the conference room nodded with peace of mind.
Yu Jiuer's eyes went dark, and she was so angry that she could hardly speak: "Is there some golden stick in that storehouse? You are soldiers who eat the government's food after all, can you have some shame?"
"My Xiguan Camp receives tens of thousands of taels of silver from the imperial court every year. Are you really unwilling?" Mr. Rong said sarcastically.
"If it weren't for Jun Mo's strong request, we wouldn't want you to be the head of the family! It took a lot of effort for Yu Wushuang to help raise 10,000 prisoners, and we just had a few days of relaxation. Who would care about your little piece of land?"
Cheng Ming shook his head with some regret: "Xiguan Camp also has food and fodder distributed from above every month! After you become the boss, you can also save on the rent of the prisoners! What a pity, you are unwilling to do so?"
Wei Zheng seemed a little aggrieved and said, "You are so hesitant! If it weren't for the prince's insistence, we wouldn't want you to be the leader! The Yulin Army is full of brave men, good at farming and fighting, and I can't bear to let them all fall into your hands!"
"Hiss! Can being the head of the family bring me so many benefits?" Yu Jiuer thought about it. So, does that mean she got a great bargain?
Seeing that she was somewhat relaxed, Jun Mo curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of meaning.
He wanted to use this method to firmly pin the title of "Prince Jing's Princess" on her.
This was because only Princess Jing was qualified to be the leader of his Yulin Army.
As for the Xiguan Camp, only the identity of Princess Jing could intimidate them.
However, Yu Jiuer was so busy staring at the generals in the hall that she didn't realize Jun Mo was setting a trap for her.
She also asked tentatively: "If I am the leader of both of your camps, can I command you at will?"
"You are mainly responsible for food and clothing!" Jun Mo explained, and seeing the flash of anger in Yu Jiuer's eyes, he added, "It's okay to let you give orders occasionally!"
Yu Jiuer thought for a moment and it seemed that she had really made a profit!
She drove everyone to work in the fields, and the labor force increased dramatically. Is she still worried about not being able to support these people?
That’s right, you won’t lose money!
Then, she smiled and said, "Then I will reluctantly take on the important task!"
"Don't force yourself if you don't want to!" Mr. Rong was forced to do it by Jun Mo, and seemed a little unwilling.
"No need to force it! No need to force it!" Yu Jiuer sat up straight, waving her hands continuously, secretly happy in her heart!
Fearing that everyone would regret it, she quickly changed the subject: "Are there still Western Region troops wandering in the forest?"
"Thanks to you, the Western Region Army has fled in panic, and no Western Region soldiers have been found remaining in the forest." Jun Mo stared at her with burning eyes, and said,
"I will set up checkpoints and keep an eye on whether the Western Region soldiers enter the forest. What? The scenery here is so beautiful, you don't want to leave, and you want to stay for two more days?"
His ambiguous eyes seemed to hint at her about last night's madness and she wanted to experience it a few more times!
Yu Jiuer's heart couldn't help but skip a beat and she felt a little out of breath.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you standing there? It's April, the spring ploughing season. Aren't you going back to farm and waiting for the northwest wind to blow? Come home with me and farm!"
Although they were reluctant to leave this vast forest, the Camel Ridge that looked like a fairyland, and the magnificent forest palace, the forest would not be safe as long as the people from the Western Regions occupied the coast.
After all, they are now short-handed and not strong enough, and they have to devote their energy to dealing with Jun Mo’s political enemies. They can no longer withstand any attacks!
This victory was purely a fluke!
Forget it, there will be another chance to fight back later!
Jun Mo was very content and ordered everyone: "Inform everyone and go home with the princess to farm tomorrow!"
"Yes!" A loud and clear response rang out in the conference room.
The title of "Princess" made Yu Jiuer's scalp tingle. She suddenly thought of a question and said solemnly, "The male rabbit's feet are confused, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurry. When two rabbits walk side by side on the ground, how can I tell which is male and which is female?
But Your Majesty, I had no choice but to deceive Concubine Duan. She always thought that Yu Jiuer was dead and it was Yu Wushuang who came to fight. If I go back this time, I’m afraid…”
Jun Mo said, "I didn't expect that you would be afraid one day. Mother grew up under strict rules and regulations, and she hates anything that violates the law and morality! You are so bold as to tell such a big lie, it will definitely anger her! Go back and hide it from her, and I will tell her in person when I find a suitable opportunity!"
Yu Jiuer secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better to leave the issue of Concubine Duan to Jun Mo.
She looked up and asked the others in the hall: "You won't tell Concubine Duan, will you?"
"I won't tell you even if you kill me!" Everyone shook their heads. Who would dare to offend the housekeeper?
Yu Jiuer was satisfied and said, "That's good! I'll give you guys a good meal when I get back!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
"Don't call me princess! What's out of date is out of date, don't mention it again! Just call me Lady Yu!" Yu Jiuer put her hands on her hips, looking unserious, with her delicate and angry face, she looked a bit like an irritated kitten.
Jun Mo propped his head up, looking lazy, drinking tea slowly and leisurely, looking at her with narrowed eyes, with an unfathomable look.
His look made Yu Jiuer's eyebrows twitch. She hoped that this guy could maintain the current balance and not cause any trouble!
If he behaves well, maybe she will be more generous and let him sleep with her again while he is still unmarried and relatively clean!
otherwise......
Let’s see who can beat who?
A few days later, the group returned triumphantly in a mighty procession. The people cheered and ran to the Great Wall to welcome them.
During the months of war, the people were all terrified. They couldn't even sleep well during the New Year, for fear that their hard-earned good days would be taken away by the people from the Western Regions.
Even the most evil criminals breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the team returning.
Before this, when they were building the Great Wall, they were attacked by people from the Western Regions and most of them were killed. Since then, they have had nightmares one after another. They realized how difficult it is to live, and how shameful the bad things they had done before were in the face of life and death and war.
From then on, they built the Great Wall together with the 10,000 prisoners rented by Yu Jiuer. No one was lazy anymore, and everyone used all their strength to build the Great Wall.
Mr. Rong never swung the whip in his hand again, but that’s a story for later.
After returning to the farm, Yu Jiuer couldn't wait to see her babies.
When she went out to fight the enemy, what she was most worried about was them. She even ordered Shadow and Dark Moon not to go with her, and to stay with them every step of the way.
Jun Mo followed her into the auspicious tree house in a familiar manner.
Yu Jiuer first picked up Yu Jing and kissed him several times, which made Yu Xin feel unbalanced and he cried loudly.
"Did you miss me?" Yu Jiuer handed Yu Jing to Concubine Duan, hugged Yu Xin and kissed her, her eyes filled with tears.
"Mom!" Yu Xin suddenly blurted out a word. Yu Jiuer was so happy that she hugged him and spun around.
Concubine Duan corrected her confusedly, "You called him the wrong name! He is your uncle! Look at the door, that is your father!"
Jun Mo looked at the two little people in front of him who looked exactly like him, his eyes misty, but his footsteps stopped at the threshold, not daring to step in.
Looking at Yu Jiuer laughing and joking with them, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you come and hug your son?" Concubine Duan suddenly put Yujing in his arms.
He took it and his body stiffened noticeably!
