Jiangmen's first wife

Originally, Lin Yu wanted to catch another adulterer, but unfortunately, the first month has passed for a long time, and the weather is getting warmer. Lin Yu still didn't notice any changes in Cheng Linxiu.Her lover didn't come again, and everything seemed to calm down like this.

Cheng Linxiu still ran to the old lady every day, and would often come to find Lin Yu, but Lin Yu had developed the habit of doing other things every morning so that Cheng Linxiu could not find her.

Chu Shaoyang also went to Cheng Linxiu's place several times, but every day he went there during the day.Cheng Linxiu's attitude towards Chu Shaoyang has always been that way, trying her best to please her, just like every competent concubine.But Chu Shaoyang was unmoved, although as a man, he couldn't do it all the time, but it was easier to stay away from Cheng Linxiu.

When Chu Shaoyang came back, he was not directly promoted to General Zuo, but the emperor had already said that if Chu Shaoyang made another military exploit, he would definitely be promoted to General Zuo.

There are six general titles in Daqi, the highest one is the general, second only to the prime minister, but because he is in charge of military power, his strength is sometimes stronger than the prime minister, but there has not been a general for many years.At the same level as the general, when there are more battles, the post of hussar general will be added, and its status is higher than that of the general.The power of Hussar General can easily pose a threat to the emperor's power, so he will not be appointed easily.

And under the top general, there are four generals in the front, back, left, and right, and they don't always exist. Their status is slightly lower than that of Jiuqing.But at the same time, because of the military power, the status is generally higher than that of Jiuqing.

Moreover, the general is an official of the Chinese court. The so-called official of the Chinese court is the emperor's confidant. He can directly enter the palace to meet the emperor, and he is closer to the emperor.The position of all generals is what many people want, but it doesn't mean they can get it, and it still takes hard work.

And under the front, back, left, and right generals, there are no titles, just ordinary generals like Chu Shaoyang now.However, ordinary generals did not go out so many times like Chu Shaoyang.

Now the positions of Hussar General, Upper General, Former General, and Zuo General are all vacant. Chu Shaoyang's promotion is actually only a matter of time.But... the emperor still doesn't know that Chu Shaoyang is from the prince's school, otherwise he might have to think about it.

Chu Shaoyang went to court and was about to go to the barracks when he saw a man he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Shaoyang." This man is nearly forty years old, but he is not old, he is still young and handsome.He was also a little surprised when he saw Chu Shaoyang, but it didn't show on his face, and his tone was very calm.

"Uncle." Although the family has been separated, Da Qi said that uncles are like fathers. Even if they don't communicate with each other on weekdays, it is still necessary to exchange pleasantries when they meet.Besides, Chu Shaoyang knew that his second uncle was sinister and his third uncle was a smiling tiger, but he didn't know his younger uncle well.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" Uncle Chu Shaoyang, Chu Yiping said, it was a polite word, but there was no meaning of concern, just a simple greeting.

"It's okay." Since he greeted, Chu Shaoyang also greeted, and everyone greeted together, anyway, he was not in a hurry.

Uncle Chu Shaoyang didn't answer, but just nodded and stood there, as if he was waiting for someone.Chu Shaoyang originally wanted to turn around and leave, but someone from Chu Yiping came over.

"Fourth brother." Chu Yiping is his only son, Chu Shaoying.Chu Shaoying is one year younger than Chu Shaoyang, and has already performed the crowning ceremony.Among the many brothers, he is the one who looks the most like Chu Shaoyang.But maybe it was because Uncle Chu Shaoyang only had this one son, and the family members spoiled him too much, which made Chu Shaoying soft-tempered.

"Wei Qing." Although Chu Shaoyang did not have a good relationship with his uncle's family, Chu Shaoying was his younger brother and had never done anything against him, so he greeted Chu Shaoyang when he saw him.

"We still have something to do, so let's go first." Seeing that Chu Shaoying just said hello and didn't say anything, Chu Yiping guessed that he didn't want to greet Chu Shaoyang, so he made an excuse, and the father and son left.

Chu Shaoyang nodded, he didn't want to waste time, he had better let him go to the barracks quickly, so that he could go home earlier.

Chu Yiping took Chu Shaoying away, and when Chu Shaoying was sure that Chu Shaoyang couldn't see his face, he slowly withdrew his smile, showing a resentful but helpless expression.

And Lin Yu was sitting in the Drunken Immortal Building at this time, eating fish and drinking wine, opposite Zhou Yan.After having Zhou Yan, Lin Yu left Jiang Mingying behind, and the excuse was that Jiang Mingying was too busy to bother him.

"My master is also a knight-errant. He should be 40 years old, but he doesn't look old, but he is not as handsome as you. I haven't seen him for a long time. I don't know where he is now." Lin Yu drank A lot of wine, although not drunk, but my mind is confused and I talk too much.Because Zhou Yan didn't know his identity, he told him some things.

"What's his name, maybe I can find it for you." Zhou Yan said.He didn't expect that he and Lin Yu would get so close. When did it start, probably when Lin Yu said he was a man.Zhou Yan had some illusory sense of responsibility towards Lin Yu before, and he teased him again.It's not that I hate him, but when I see him, I often feel chills behind.

But after getting along a lot, he found that Lin Yu was actually not as scary as he thought before, but rather cute.He didn't want to show his scheming, on the contrary, he was very simple.

"I don't know, I only know that he is my master. He asked me when we were together, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't tell me his name when he left. Maybe he wanted to be free. Lin Yu replied with a smile, thinking of the days with Master, the two of them climbed over the wall to go out to play together, went to the kitchen of the restaurant to steal chicken, and sat on the roof to eat together.

The moonlight streamed on the roof, and his master would always give him chicken wings, and he ate chicken legs.

His master is usually so casual, and he doesn't go to him every day, but every time he goes to him, he will leave some marks.At the beginning, Lin Yu couldn't guess anything, but later he knew what his master meant as long as he saw a certain mark.

"What about his appearance?" Zhou Yan didn't expect Lin Yu to be so confused, so he asked again.

"I don't know how to draw, but I can ask someone to draw it for me. He has big eyes, thin lips, a straight nose, and long hair..." Lin Yu described his master's appearance from memory, and heard Zhou Yan was in a cold sweat.The appearance he described, probably out of five people arrested on the street, at least two of them would match.

"Okay, I can help you find it." Zhou Yan said, taking a sip of wine, seeing Lin Yu blushing but still drinking, he felt strange in his heart.

After the two had finished eating and drinking, Zhou Yan sent Lin Yu back to the shop. Seeing that Lin Yu drank so much, Jiang Mingying shook her head, and handed over the work to others to take care of Lin Yu.

He has been cultivating assistants, otherwise he would not be able to manage so many shops by himself.But he just didn't have Lin Yu's luck, and he didn't find a business genius to help him.

Jiang Mingying helped Lin Yu over, smiled at Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan nodded and left.Jiang Mingying helped Lin Yu inside, made a cup of strong tea, and poured it down for Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was not very drunk, because the wine was very weak, and after drinking a cup of tea, he was completely refreshed. Looking at Jiang Mingying, his big eyes blinked, making Jiang Mingying mistakenly think that Cong Nian was attached to Lin Yu's body.

"Next year there will be an official and business exam in Chang'an City." Jiang Mingying said suddenly, Lin Yu's eyes widened. What is the official and business exam?

"Official and business exam?" Lin Yu really didn't understand this, because among the people he knew well, there was no businessman except Jiang Mingying.

"Well, once every five years." Jiang Mingying saw that Lin Yu really didn't know what the official business exam was all about, so she patiently explained to him.

Because Daqi emphasizes business, there will be official and business examinations.Officials and businessmen are not officials, but only officials and businessmen can become officials.Many businessmen want to take the official business examination, become an official businessman, and then become an official.

In Daqi's selection of talents, examinations and recommendations are equally divided. Recommendations are generally made by officials. The recommended person goes to the emperor. If the emperor accepts it, the recommended person will be appointed as an official.Although this system can easily strengthen the power of the family and threaten the monarchy.

However, Daqi's officials are strictly governed, and officials will be assessed every year.If the recommended person makes a mistake, the recommender will also be implicated, so most people are more careful in recommending.

And the exam is not a simple exam, but is recommended by the respected people in the village to the next level, and then the exam, selection, and promotion to Chang'an are carried out layer by layer.

However, the examinations for officials and businessmen are not the same as the selection of talents. Examinations are held every five years, and only once in Chang'an.Those who take the exam must either have a certain family wealth or be recommended by an official.Those who pass the exam become officials and merchants.

Officials and businessmen are the middle ground between officials and businessmen. Although a businessman cannot be a high-ranking official, once he becomes an official, he will honor his ancestors and protect future generations.

Obviously, Jiang Mingying wants to become an official businessman, and not only that, he also wants to be an official.

"This exam should be difficult." Lin Yu frowned after listening to Jiang Mingying's explanation. He was only familiar with recommendation, which was accepted by quite a few.But there are so many businessmen in Daqi, and many of them meet the standards, and it happens every five years.

"It's hard." Jiang Mingying nodded.In fact, the level of education of ordinary businessmen is not very high, as long as they can settle accounts.However, the official and business examinations not only require you to be able to settle accounts, but also to have a certain vision and strategy. The closer to the literati, the better.

"Do you need to make some preparations?" Lin Yu asked.

"Need." Jiang Mingying nodded.

"When will you start preparing?"

"From now on." Jiang Mingying looked at Lin Yu with firm eyes.

"Then can you still work for me?" Lin Yu was a little puzzled. Although he also hoped that Jiang Mingying would have a future, he didn't want to lose such a good help.If there is no Jiang Mingying, there will definitely be less and less money in the future.

"Yes, my current savings are not enough." Jiang Mingying said, in fact, hard work is also part of the preparation.

"When the income of these five shops stabilizes, I want to buy another shop. But I just paid off the debt and I don't have any money. I hope you can help me." Jiang Mingying said to Lin Yu.

"How much does it cost?" Lin Yu asked.

Jiang Mingying told Lin Yu the money he needed. It would be really not easy for Lin Yu to take out the money now.

"When the income of the five shops stabilizes, the money is definitely not too much. We will divide the income at that time." Jiang Mingying said.

Lin Yu finally saw Jiang Mingying's side as a profiteer, five five?The money is all from him.

"Eight two, I'm eight and you two." Lin Yu's words were also quite ruthless.

"Six four, you six and I four."

"Then seven three, I seven you three."

"it is good."

"Then make a deal." Lin Yu reached an agreement with Jiang Mingying with a smile. In fact, without Jiang Mingying, even if he opened another hundred or eighty stores, he would not be able to make a lot of money.But who asked him to pay for it? He didn't think it was too much money.
