Chapter 110 We Have to Be Secretive
When Lin Yuxi entered the room, Yang Chenchuan was staring at the door. When he saw her, he grinned. Lin Yuxi was helpless with him, "Dad, what do you want to talk to you about?"
Yang Chenchuan curled his lips and said reluctantly: "You're asking me about yesterday." She was stunned again, "Did Dad say anything?"
"What else can I say? Of course I am following the rules." Yang Chenchuan didn't want to talk about Lin Yuhe's affairs, and changed the subject: "Did the Madam embarrass you?"
Lin Yuxi glanced at him and asked her because she was obviously the Second Madam. He did not ask why the Second Madam wanted to see her, but instead asked if the First Madam had made things difficult for her. It seemed that his relationship with the First House was not very good, but it was normal. Which wife and concubine could really get along well with each other? Judging from Yang Chenchuan's attitude, he must have suffered a lot from the First Madam.
She had also inquired about it before she got married. Before the eldest master became an official, he first married the second wife. At that time, the Yang family was a farming family that depended on the weather for their livelihood. The old lady became a widow before the second master was born. She raised her two sons with great difficulty. At that time, the family was penniless. It was the Jiang family who saw the potential of the eldest master and arranged the marriage before he passed the imperial examination.
From then on, with the care of the Jiang family, the Yang family lived a good life. The eldest master was also a promising man. He passed the imperial examination and was later favored by the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Cao, who promised him his second daughter. After weighing the pros and cons, the eldest master married Cao as his first wife and his original wife Jiang as his co-wife, with no distinction between the two.
So even though Yang Chenchuan is Jiang's son, he is still the legitimate son. It seems that the master knows that he has let Jiang down.
Lin Yuxi shook her head and didn't dwell on it any more. She thought of something important and asked him:
“Tell me what position you are in now, and do you have any income?” Yang Chenchuan was stunned for a moment, his expression a little unnatural: “I have been in poor health since I was young, and left home at the age of seven to learn martial arts from my master. I just returned this year after completing my studies. The day you saved me was the day I returned home. Now I have no job and no income.”
As he spoke, Yang Chenchuan's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was embarrassed or annoyed by her straightforwardness.
Yang Chenchuan looked at Lin Yuxi carefully, not missing any of her expressions, for fear that she would look down on him because of his lack of ambition.
Lin Yuxi widened her eyes, glanced at Yang Chenchuan several times, and then said faintly: "You look as strong as an ox, how can you look like you are in poor health." Thinking of the night when they fought, he neutralized her attack with one move.
But she didn't think, "Who wants to kill you?" She didn't know who had such a big hatred for him that he was killed the day after he came home. She was his wife now and had the right to know all this. Otherwise, if he died suddenly one day, wouldn't she become a widow?
That won't do. She doesn't want to be a widow.
A hint of coldness flashed across Yang Chenchuan's eyes, and the veins on his clenched fists were bulging. Then, as if he had thought of something, he hugged Lin Yuxi and said in a suppressed voice: "Don't worry about it, I will take care of it." He would never allow her to be involved in this matter and would never let her fall into danger.
Lin Yuxi disagreed, "We are husband and wife now, and husband and wife are meant to share weal and woe."
And from his tone, we know that the person behind this has not been caught yet. Doesn't that mean there is a dangerous person lurking around him? We can't guard against him.
"Trust me, okay? I will protect you." Yang Chenchuan lifted her chin and looked at her, his sincerity revealed in his words.
Okay! Since he insisted, she couldn't say anything. Besides, even if she knew, she couldn't help with her current ability. Thinking of this, she felt relieved.
"So do you have any plans?"
"What do you want to say?" Yang Chenchuan smiled, not knowing what she was up to.
"Well, since you asked, I have to tell you clearly that I want to do business. I'm not telling you to get your approval, but just to let you know that I must do this business. Fifty taels of silver is just enough for such a big garden. I want to save some money for backup. If I need money in an emergency in the future, I can't ask the family for money every time. I'm not a person who likes to ask for money from others, and I won't do anything to please others, so you have to agree with me on this matter."
Lin Yuxi put her hands on her waist and stared at him fiercely, as if she would knock you out if you objected. Yang Chenchuan couldn't help but laugh, and pinched her nose, saying: "If you want to do business, just do it. I can't stop you. I'm not a pedantic person, otherwise I wouldn't marry you."
Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are ranked last, have the lowest status and are looked down upon the most. Anyone who thinks he has some ambition and claims to be noble is unwilling to have anything to do with merchants.
But Yang Chenchuan is different. Jiang is a merchant's daughter, and the master is in charge of many shops. Naturally, Yang Chenchuan will not look down on businessmen.
Yang Chenchuan knew that she would never give up her desire to do business, otherwise she wouldn't have opened a small shop in Yingshan City. Judging from the momentum, it was doing pretty well. He also tried the iced sugar water once, and it was really refreshing.
He really didn't know what other weird things were in her mind. She knew martial arts, cooking, and making ice. He was becoming more and more curious about her.
Since I can't stop her decision to do business, I might as well give up.
The dessert shop in Yingshan City was handed over to Zheng Laoshi to manage. The business was getting better and better. Before he got married, he also hired a maid to replace Cuizhu. Lin Yuxi was still relieved about this matter.
Before she got married, Master Lin gave Lin Yuxi three shops and two farms, each with 50 acres of paddy fields and fertile land. One of the farms was in other places and the other in the suburbs. One of the shops was in Mingde City, but these were all given by Master Lin, and were independent entities, so she didn't have to manage them, so she just focused on her own ideas.
"Since my husband has no objection, you will have a share in the business. Don't try to take advantage of me. In the future, the management of the store, the account books and the like will be handed over to you. I just need to give some advice, think about the dishes, calculate the total bill, and wait for the cash. But my parents are here, and it seems not good for us to do business without their permission, so we have to be secretive." Otherwise, it would be bad if they were caught, and they would be accused of being restless.
Yang Chenchuan hugged Lin Yuxi and felt hesitant to laugh or cry. She was treating him like a laborer. However, he was happy with it. It felt good to be relied on.
A pair of sharp eyes stared at her, with a mischievous look in them. Lin Yuxi felt embarrassed by his gaze and pouted slightly, "Why are you staring at me?" Have you ever seen a beautiful woman?
Yang Chenchuan didn't answer, his eyes twinkled with stars, his tone was a bit ruffian, "You are my wife, how can I not take advantage of you? In a few days, we will have our wedding night."
As he said this, he buried his head in her neck and sucked her lovely earlobe. Lin Yuxi was shocked and felt so ashamed that she wanted to slap him to death. Not only did he deliberately misinterpret her meaning, but he also teased her. Just as she was about to curse, she heard him say:
"My wife, you are so calculating. You always pick easy jobs and let your husband run around outside. You are not afraid of tiring me out."
Lin Yuxi snorted at him: "Of course, you are a man, the head of the family, and it is your job to make money to support the family. Do you still want a woman like me to support the whole family?"
Want to be a parasite? Don’t even think about it.
