Chapter 001 Uncle
"Uncle, wake up quickly..."
The girl's crying voice lingered in his ears, and with the crazy influx of countless fragmented memories, Yang Lin felt like his head was going to explode.
He lay on the bed, and it took him a long time to accept the fact that he had traveled through time.
His name is also Yang Lin, and his current identity is the son-in-law of the Shen family, a wealthy businessman in Bianjing City.
Bianjing is still the Bianjing we are familiar with, but this is not the Song Dynasty.
The current dynasty is called the Qian Dynasty. Some historical details have changed since the Tang Dynasty. For example, the person who destroyed the Tang Dynasty was a man named Zhao Qian. Later, he established the Qian Dynasty. The setting is somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty. The capital city of Bianjing was extremely prosperous economically and culturally, but the borders were ravaged by the Khitans and Xixia people in turn...
Well, it can be understood as another parallel world.
But you said that other people’s time travels were at least second-generation officials, prodigal sons, and so on. How did they end up in your own house and become the most disgraceful son-in-law?
Moreover, the unlucky man named Yang Lin was framed and fell off his horse and lay in bed for several days before he died. During this period, no one except the maid named Xiaoyun beside him cared about his life or death.
Although he had taken over this body now, his bones were still very weak. Even if he moved his arms even slightly, he would gasp in pain.
The little maid who was lying beside the bed crying suddenly became excited when she heard the sound, and said: "Gu, Gu, are you awake?!"
"Is there any water?" Yang Lin felt his mouth was dry and asked weakly.
"Yes, yes...I will go and serve it to my uncle..."
The little maid hurriedly ran out, and not long after, she brought a bowl of warm water for him to drink, and said: "My uncle is awake, Xiaoyun will go and tell the master and the others right away."
"Stop." Yang Lin shouted subconsciously.
The former owner of this body died in an unknown manner. Looking at the situation, it might have something to do with the people in Shen's mansion. Yang Lin didn't want to burp as soon as he traveled through time. He wanted to find out the situation first.
Xiaoyun was stunned by Yang Lin's sudden interruption.
Yang Lin also realized that the tone seemed a bit harsh.
"I'm a little tired. You should go out first. Don't tell anyone else about this." Yang Lin sighed and said softly.
Xiaoyun didn't think much, she hummed obediently, covered Yang Lin with the quilt, and then exited the room.
When no one was around, Yang Lin struggled to get up from the bed, moved his body, then opened the window and looked outside.
The Shen family is a surname from Hedong, and they are family friends with the Yang family where Yang Lin lives. Later, Shen Wanshan became prosperous in business and moved his family to Bianjing. However, the Yang family unexpectedly declined. Later, they suffered from the plague and the whole family died. The old man of the Shen family felt sorry for Yang Lin, a single seedling, so he accepted him as his son-in-law.
Anyway, in the past few months since Yang Lin came to the Shen family, he has never seen his nominal wife, Shen Yourong, the daughter of the Shen family.
The old man of the Shen family has three sons and four daughters. Shen Yourong was born to the second wife, and there is also the eldest grandson Shen Youxia. She is supposed to have nothing to do with inheriting the family business, but the eldest brother Shen Youxia lives up to his name. all day
He dreamed of becoming a knight-errant, and even said that he would rob the rich and give to the poor, which almost made the old man angry to death.
The descendants of the three-bedroom and four-bedroom family members were even more miserable. They spent all day drinking and drinking, ruining the family business. Only Shen Yourong, a woman, was very talented in business. The old man was planning to train her well, but something like this happened to the second family member. If Yang Lin hadn't happened to travel through time, this unlucky child would have died in vain.
After going through the situation in his mind, Yang Lin immediately set a new goal for himself - to be a qualified soft-boiled man.
After all, opportunities don't come just randomly, and this is an iron rice bowl...
While I was thinking about these things, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance.
Yang Lin looked up and saw a group of people walking into the yard from a distance. The leader was a graceful young woman wearing a red cloak, followed by a group of relatives of the Shen family. One of the middle-aged men said: "Rong'er , at this juncture, don’t make any extra trouble, it’s not worth it for an outsider.”
After hearing this, the woman immediately stopped, turned around, and said with a frosty look on her face: "He is my husband, Shen Yourong, and he is an outsider, so who am I?"
This woman is very beautiful. She looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows. She has the gentle and virtuous temperament of a lady, but in her words just now, her tenacity revealed a strength, and she acted neatly and neatly. She is very similar to those strong women in foreign companies in later generations, which surprised Yang Lin.
At this time, the maid Xiaoyun ran all the way to the woman and whispered something in her ear.
Shen Yourong was stunned on the spot. After coming back to his senses, he gave an order in an indifferent tone.
"Xiaoyun, see the guests off."
After saying that, he handed the cloak to the little girl next to him, turned around and walked inside. Xiaoyun stuck out her tongue, looked up, and happened to see Yang Lin on the second floor.
"When did you wake up?"
"Half an hour... ago."
"Is the injury serious?"
"It's getting better, but I still look haggard."
"Xiaoyun, go and boil some hot water, and ask the cook to bring some soup and medicine."
"okay."
The whole yard became busy again because of the arrival of the hostess.
Yang Lin closed the window and continued to lie down. After the nominal owner of this yard comes back, at least here, he doesn't have to worry about being persecuted again. He can take care of himself as he comes. Some problems will be solved later. For now, he will continue to pretend. I am cured.
There was a knock on the door outside the room. I thought it was Shen Yourong, but when I looked up, it was Xiaoyun who walked in.
The little maid held a touch of hot water in her hand, walked to the bed, wiped Yang Lin's forehead with a wet towel, and said: "Uncle, the lady is back..."
Yang Lin hummed and asked casually: "By the way, who came outside just now?"
"It's the master of the third bedroom... Well, uncle, have you forgotten? It was he who took Xiaoyun to my uncle's house to propose marriage..."
Seeing the surprised look on the little girl's face, Yang Lin reacted immediately, shook his head and said, "My head hurts a little, and I can't remember some things clearly."
It’s clear.”
"Uncle, don't think about it. If you don't know anything, just ask Xiaoyun."
The little girl is very considerate, but she is afraid that if Yang Lin does something wrong, he will burp again.
This is not the future. There are no antibiotics and no targeted treatments. In an era when a small cold can kill someone, Yang Lin was able to survive it. In the eyes of the little girl, it was not easy.
Yang Lin asked some more about the family situation, such as the Shen family's business scope, the relationships between the houses, his wife's interests and hobbies, etc., and he had some general outlines in mind.
Xiao Yun was originally one of Shen Yourong's personal maids. She grew up together, read books and practiced calligraphy. Compared to ordinary servants, her status was much higher. Many things about the Shen family were not hidden. She, including some of the second house's business, also left it to her to take care of. Shen Yourong ran away from home for so long before. On the one hand, he didn't want to face Yang Lin, his husband, and on the other hand, he was too busy with business matters... …
Generally speaking, in a feudal society where men are superior to women, it is a great thing that they can live for themselves.
Yang Lin has no prejudice against his wife in name only. On the contrary, he admires her very much. It is very taboo for women to show their faces in public these days. Even if the Shen family is a merchant family, it may not sound good if word spreads about it. Shen You It is indeed remarkable that Rong, as a woman, relies on her skills to make other people jealous and even fearful. If left to future generations, she might be the next Dong Mingzhu and Yang Huiyan...
Seeing that her uncle was lost in thought again, Xiaoyun silently took the basin and was about to leave.
Before going out, the little maid suddenly stopped, looked a little hesitant, and said: "Aunt...Uncle, the young lady moved to Liuzhuang because there was a business to discuss there, and it involved Prime Minister Cai, and she couldn't get away... Later, I heard that something happened to my uncle, so I rushed back all night, and I haven’t even slept a wink yet..."
Yang Lin was slightly startled when he heard this, thinking that this girl was really attentive. He was afraid that he would be resentful towards Shen Yourong, so he said this.
Yang Lin waved his hand and said: "Okay, I got it, thank you for me... Madam, let her have a good rest. There is no need to rush into some things. Sometimes the way of thinking determines the way out, and the vision determines the realm."
Xiaoyun didn't understand the last half of the sentence, but she understood that Yang Lin didn't mean to complain about the young lady. Thinking of this, the little girl's mood suddenly became beautiful and she left happily.
On the other side, Shen Yourong returned to the boudoir after getting rid of her fatigue. She was sitting in front of the mirror and dressing up. Xiaoyun behind her was also talking casually about the recent events in the yard.
"Did he really say this?" Shen Yourong's expression moved slightly and he asked in surprise.
Xiaoyun nodded and said: "My uncle was very...calm when he spoke, as if he was really not angry."
"Things determine the way out, vision determines the realm... It's interesting, um, by the way, has he been in contact with other people these days?"
"No...except for the elder uncle who sent someone over to ask about the situation, Xiaoyun is taking care of my uncle alone."
"This is strange... Could it be that after being hit with a stick, you suddenly became enlightened?"
