Jiangmen's first wife

The days were peaceful, but the old lady suddenly fell ill.Nearly 50 years old, compared to other people of the same age, Mrs. Chu's health is still relatively good, but people who don't get sick often have difficulty recovering when they get sick. They lie down for several days without seeing improvement.

"Mother." Chu Shaoyang has already returned to the court, and he leaves early and returns late every day, and he doesn't see the old lady very often, so he only took time to look at it today, but it's too late.

"Go and rest, mother is fine here." The old lady Chu was also stubborn, and smiled and asked Chu Shaoyang to go back.

"En." Chu Shaoyang knew his mother's character, if he didn't listen to her, he might make her unhappy.Chu Shaoyang was also exhausted, so he went back to his room.Lin Yu didn't sleep, she was sitting in front of the table, lighting a lamp, and embroidering a purse under the lamp.

Because he was afraid of being found out about his true identity, Lin Yu always wore women's clothes. At this time, he was seriously embroidering a purse, and the stitching was exquisite. From Chu Shaoyang's point of view, he looked more like a virtuous woman up.

Chu Shaoyang entered the room, without saying a word, took off his coat, and sat on the bed.

"What are you doing with this?" Chu Shaoyang asked after a while.

"I have a prescription. I mix the medicinal materials and put them in my purse for my mother to carry with me. It can be used as a sachet and can also strengthen my body." Lin Yu called her mother very easily.When Mrs. Chu was not sick, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were often together. Mrs. Chu was an experienced person, and what she said was very useful to Lin Yu.And after Mrs. Chu fell ill, he has been taking care of her.

He has never been loved by his mother since he was a child, so he cherishes it even more, so although he was very repulsed after knowing that he was a man, he became a female celebrity for the old lady at this time.

Chu Shaoyang didn't speak any more, he yawned and lay down to sleep.In fact, when he decided to keep Lin Yu, he didn't make an accurate plan for the future, time passed in a hurry, and the development of things had long been beyond his control.

At least, he didn't expect his mother to like Lin Yu so much, and he didn't expect Lin Yu to be so attentive to his own affairs.

Lin Yu continued to embroider after Chu Shaoyang fell asleep, and didn't go to sleep until the embroidery was finished.The next day he put the prepared medicinal materials in and delivered them to the old lady himself.

The old lady's complexion was still not very good-looking. Although she took the medicine, the effect was not very obvious.Lin Yu put the purse next to her pillow. The old lady smelled the fragrance of medicine in the purse, and reached out to take the purse in her hand.Seeing the pattern embroidered by Lin Yu, he was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law, so he told Lin Yu what he had been thinking about for a few days.

"Yu'er, I'm afraid Mother's body won't get better anytime soon." The old lady sighed softly.

"It will be fine soon, mother, don't think too much." Lin Yu said with a smile, as if he had never had the opportunity to take care of his mother like this.I remember that when Mrs. Liu was sick when I was young, I didn't let him get too close.Even if she was sick, she still spoke very loudly, so he had to obediently go back to his room.

"Our third son is the only one in such a big general's mansion, and Shaoyang doesn't know anything about the backyard, so mother can only count on you." The old lady Chu said, and Xu Momo who was beside her gave the old lady what she wanted very winkingly. Something was handed over, a few keys.

"From now on, you will be in charge of the affairs of the mansion. If you don't know anything, you can come to me or Madam Xu. If anyone is disobedient, you can punish yourself. You are young and soft-hearted, so you will inevitably be bullied by them." .If someone bullies you, you can bully you back. You don’t have to be afraid if your mother is here.” The old lady handed the key to Lin Yu, and said such caring words, which made Lin Yu’s eyes a little wet.He took the key without much refusal.

Although he wanted to hold the power of the housekeeper in his own hands, he didn't expect it to be so fast. I don't know what Chu Shaoyang would think if he knew it.Lin Yu took the key, feeling heavy, but he was still very happy.

After chatting with the old lady for a while, watching the old lady take the medicine, Lin Yu didn't stay to eat, and returned to her yard.

"Lingyue, find a maid who is familiar with the mansion. I will walk around the mansion in the afternoon." Lin Yu ordered Lingyue, her personal maid, after dinner.Lingyue was younger than him, she was a servant of the family, she followed him since she was a child, although it was not as easy to use as Qinyu, but he still liked Lingyue more.

"En." Lingyue nodded, and went out to find a maid.Like Lin Yu, although she has been in the Chu Mansion for a long time, she has never had the opportunity to go around. She usually stays in her own yard, and at most goes to the old lady's place, or places like the kitchen.

It didn't take long for Lingyue to bring her back, an older maidservant.She was blessed after seeing Lin Yu, but her expression was not very serious.Lin Yu didn't mind, he told her his destination and asked her to take him there.

Since the old lady had entrusted him with all the family affairs, he had to go through the family affairs and accounts thoroughly before he could start, so he asked the maid to take him to the accountant of the general's mansion first.

It is not easy for others to enter such a private place as the counting room, and there are people guarding it. Seeing that it was Lin Yu who let it in.Lin Yu went in, the accountant didn't expect someone to come at this time, a little surprised, but immediately calmed down, and brought Lin Yu the accounts of the house.

Thanks to Lin Yu who had learned these things, although it was a bit laborious to look at the accounts at this time, he could still see the problem.The accountant stood beside Lin Yu, pointing from time to time, explaining to Lin Yu about the accounts, Lin Yu frowned.

"It's fine for me to see it myself. You can go and rest for a while." Lin Yu said, the accountant looked unhappy, but quickly covered it up, didn't speak any more, and sat on the side, feeling a little nervous.

Lin Yu looked at it for a long time, but didn't find anything really wrong, but the book is a bit strange after all.He silently wrote it down, didn't say anything, and left with a normal expression.

Lin Yu's memory is very good. Although it can't be regarded as a photographic memory, there is nothing that he can't remember with his heart.After reading the account, he didn't say anything, which made the accountant heave a sigh of relief, and went to collect the account again.

Chu Shaoyang's salary is quite high, he has inherited the family's title, and has some land and shops.Because Daqi emphasizes business, officials are not prohibited from doing business, as long as it is controlled to a certain degree, no one will care.It's a pity that Chu Shaoyang didn't manage well, and the store didn't make any money.Although the land was rented out, the old lady was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to collect too much rent, and her income was not very much.

And the General's Mansion still had to send some money to Chu Shaoyang's three uncles' homes every month, and had to support such a large group of people in the family. With Chu Shaoyang's salary alone, he could barely make ends meet and had no balance.

Why does the General's Mansion send money to Chu Shaoyang's uncle every month?In fact, it is because of the customs of Daqi.

Because the status of women in Daqi is higher than that of previous dynasties, it is inevitable that fathers will die, children will be weak, and mothers will take full control of family affairs.This kind of situation is nothing in ordinary people's house, but it happened in the emperor's house.

Although the founding emperor of Daqi was wise and powerful, he was not clear about his emotions.His queen has been up and down, and Da Qi is a son who regards his mother as the most important thing, so in the end he let his three-year-old son inherit the throne.

The little emperor's mother was a hidden figure. After the emperor's death, she began to monopolize power and strengthened the power of her relatives, which almost left Da Qi Jiangshan on the sidelines.Therefore, after the founding emperor's important ministers removed their relatives, such a rule was established.After the death of the father, if there is an uncle, the management of the child will be handed over to the uncle.

So Chu Shaoyang still had to respect them, and it was because of this that he and his good uncles mercilessly tricked him into marrying Lin Yu, but the old lady had no choice.

After Lin Yu read the account, he went to the warehouse to have a look.He left the tent, but the maid who brought him was nowhere to be seen.

He took a deep breath, he didn't expect the housekeeper to be bullied on the first day, what the old lady said was indeed right.The guards here and the accountant cannot leave easily, and he cannot force others to make things difficult for him. Fortunately, he still remembers the way he came here, so he can walk back by himself later.

But Lin Yu didn't want to go back right away, he still wanted to visit the warehouse.

"Where should the warehouse go?" Lin Yu asked the guard, and the guard showed him the way, and Lin Yu passed.Although he has a good memory, he can't tell the direction, and he remembers the more iconic things when he remembers the road.However, the directions in the capital are all about east, west, north, south, and he walked, but he didn't know where he went.

The house of Chu Shaoyang's family was bestowed by the former emperor, it is very large, and there are many similar decorations, and the road is not straight.Lin Yu wandered around for a long time, and the more he walked, the more he felt that he was walking around here, going round and round, and lost his way in his own home.

Lin Yu hadn't come back at dinner, Lingyue thought he was busy, so he didn't come back, so she didn't tell anyone.As a result, it was dark and Chu Shaoyang came back, but Lin Yu still didn't come back.

"Where's your lady?" Chu Shaoyang had just returned from the old lady's place and thought Lin Yu was in the bedroom, but he didn't see Lin Yu when he came back.

"Uncle, Miss, she went to the accountant in the afternoon. I don't know what happened, but she hasn't come back until now." Lingyue said truthfully.

"Is anyone going with him?" Chu Shaoyang asked.

"Yes, I asked sister Zhao Ying to take the young lady there." Lingyue said.

Chu Shaoyang frowned. He just saw Zhao Ying at the old lady's place, and she was not with Lin Yu. Where would Lin Yu be now?

"Uncle, my young lady doesn't know the way very well, so she was taken there on purpose." Lingyue felt that she should emphasize this point.

Chu Shaoyang was not stupid either. Lin Yu didn't know his way and didn't come back at this time, and Zhao Ying, who was taking him with him, was not with him, so Lin Yu might have lost his way.

He didn't know what to say. He saw that Lin Yu was still a very shrewd person, how could he do such a stupid thing.
