Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Chapter 111: Either civil or military?

After hearing her words, Yang Chenchuan was startled for a moment, then his whole body softened. The look he gave Lin Yuxi became even gentler, his pupils flickering with excitement, like fine amber, crystal clear.

She said he was the head of the family, she said he had to take up the burden of supporting the family. In her heart, had she already regarded him as her heaven? Thinking of this, her mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

"If this gets to my father's ears, he will definitely scold you for not knowing the rules. As long as my father is still here, there is no reason for a son to be the head of the family."

Lin Yuxi glared at him, knowing clearly that she did not mean that. However, she also knew that the mouth can cause trouble, so she kept silent.

"But my lady is right. I will definitely satisfy your request and support you even if I leave home."

Yang Chenchuan whispered in her ear and even stole a kiss, which made Lin Yuxi so angry that she raised her fist to hit him. He did not dodge, and after taking a few punches, Lin Yuxi stopped.

"Then I'll leave the matter of finding a shop to my husband. It's up to you whether to buy it or rent it. This summer is very hot, and I still want to focus on iced sugar water with some desserts. As for the location and layout of the shop, it's up to you to decide."

Yang Chenchuan was more familiar with Mingde City than he was. It would be the easiest thing to let him handle this matter. And with his vision, the shop he found would not be bad. After thinking for a while, he said, "But it would be best if you could take me with you."

Yang Chenchuan scratched her little nose and said jokingly: "In the final analysis, you just want to go out and have fun. You can just say it directly instead of going through so much trouble."

Lin Yuxi was slightly embarrassed. Okay, she had that idea, but she had to be able to go out. It was difficult to go out when she was in the Lin Mansion in the past, let alone here? It would be different if he had a change of heart and took her out.

Lin Yuxi pouted and didn't bother with him. If she annoyed him, he really wouldn't take her out. So she just had to tolerate him for the time being.

Then she repeated the question that the Second Madam had asked her just now. Yang Chenchuan looked as if he had expected this and said calmly, "You are the mistress of this house. You decide how to discipline the servants and how to deal with them when they make mistakes." This also gave her a chance to establish her authority.

Yang Chenchuan pestered her for a while, stole a few incense sticks and went out, under the pretext of looking for a shop to support his family. Lin Yuxi wiped the saliva left by someone with a handkerchief, and was so angry that her teeth itched.

When Luyun and Cuizhu came in, they saw Lin Yuxi wiping her face angrily. Her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat someone. They couldn't help but feel ashamed. Could it be that she was angry with her son-in-law again? Why is the young lady so troublesome?

Before she could say anything, the two of them knelt down together. Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked: "Why are you kneeling like that? Get up quickly."

The two of them did not dare to stand up. Lu Yun said, "We are at fault. Come and accept the punishment."

Lin Yuxi looked at the two of them in confusion.

Cuizhu then took over and said, "Yesterday, the young lady was almost harmed by the third young lady. It was all because of our poor performance that the third young lady took advantage of her..." As she spoke, she lowered her head in shame.

In fact, they should have come to receive punishment a long time ago, but they just never found the opportunity. This was their fault. Lu Yun blamed herself even more. If she had not listened to the little maid and not guarded the door, how could such a thing have happened? In the final analysis, it was her fault that she failed to protect her master.

Lin Yuxi laughed, thinking they had done something wrong. It turned out to be because of that incident. She shook her head and said, "It's Lin Yuhe's bad intentions. It has nothing to do with you. She has hurt me more than once. Even if she couldn't get what she wanted yesterday, she will continue to look for opportunities to hurt me in the future. I don't blame you. Get up quickly. If you don't know, you might think I'm being unreasonable and punishing my maidservant."

Luyun and Cuizhu also knew that Lin Yuxi would not punish them, but they couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts. They looked at each other, said some self-blaming words, and then stood up.

Lin Yuxi gave them some instructions and then waved her hand to let them leave. It was only the first day of their wedding, and someone dared to spread the news. This kind of trend must not be encouraged, and it is better to put an end to it as soon as possible.

The next morning, after Lin Yuxi got up, she helped Yang Chenchuan get up, dressed and washed. Cuizhu was setting up breakfast over there. Seeing Lin Yuxi and Yang Chenchuan coming out, she quickly put down her chopsticks, straightened up and greeted them with a smile: “Master, Madam, today’s breakfast is very sumptuous, with raw pork porridge, exquisite buns, and crystal dumplings. Just looking at them makes people hungry.”

She and Yang Chenchuan sat at the table. As expected, the food looked very good. She wanted to eat it with relish. Lin Yuxi casually picked up a Linglong Bao and two Shuijingjiao for him, and took a bite of one herself. The taste was very good. Yang Chenchuan took a bite of the bun and pouted his lips and said, "It's not even half as good as what my wife made."

Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes. This guy started to miss the food she cooked once. Last night, he kept picking at the food with his chopsticks and refused to eat anything. He even kept saying that the chef's cooking skills had deteriorated.

As soon as she came, she said that the food the chef cooked was not delicious. Wasn't it just because she blamed her for not managing the servants well and that caused him to not have a good meal? Damn it, if she wanted her to cook herself, she could just say it directly, but she had to beat around the bush and scold her. It really made her angry, but she couldn't do anything about it, so in the end she had to serve him a bowl of noodles obediently.

Now he was even picky about breakfast. Could it be that he still wanted her to get up early every day to make it for him? Lin Yuxi would not listen to him, so she asked, "Are you going to pay respects with me today, my lord?"

Yang Chenchuan raised his eyebrows, used the word "concubine" again, and laughed: "Madam, do you want to go for your husband?"

Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth. What do you mean by whether she wants it or not? That was what he should do. Why did he have to involve her? If she said she wanted to, he would definitely find a topic to tease her. If she said she didn't want to, it would be like giving him a handle. If he made a scene in front of the elders, he would be the one who would suffer.

Lin Yuxi raised her lips slightly and smiled sweetly: "Of course I hope to go and pay my respects with my husband."

Yang Chenchuan succeeded, and smiled continuously. After finishing breakfast, the two of them went to the old lady's Jusong Hall. The first lady, the second lady, the second wife, and the eldest young lady were also there. Yang Chenchuan and Lin Yuxi finished their greetings. After they sat down, the old lady spoke: "Erlang, now that you are married, have you thought about your future?"

Yang Chenchuan raised his eyelids and looked at the old lady, shook his head and said: "Chenchuan has no plans."

"You are nineteen now, but you don't have a proper job. You don't spend much time at home, and I don't know how well you are doing in your studies. If you are good at studying, you can follow your father into a career in politics. If you don't want to be a writer, you can join the army, so that your years of learning skills outside will not be in vain." The old lady suggested.

Lin Yuxi was stunned. Join the army?

Doesn't that mean she has to join the army? Putting aside the question of whether she is willing to go or not, joining the army is not something that can be done for just one or two years. Not to mention the dangers of marching and fighting, it would be very difficult to climb up without some military merits. If she is to be just a small soldier, it would be better not to join.

"Mother, you were always looking forward to seeing Chen Chuan when he was away. Now he has just come back for a while and just got married, and you are eager to push him away. Don't you feel distressed? Joining the army is so dangerous. If you become a general, you will only be in charge of issuing orders. But if you are a subordinate, you will have to charge into battle. I am scared just thinking about it. It is better to be a writer, which is safe and comfortable. I think Chen Chuan should follow your eldest brother and take the imperial examination to find a good job." The eldest lady said as she glanced at Yang Chen Chuan.

Yang Chenchuan listened with a cold expression and did not say a word.
