The red candles burned, fluttering and shaking, the rhythmic shadows were cut on the window grilles, and the hazy lamp shadows reflected the room with big red characters, full of ambiguity and warmth.

With a soft groan, the red candle fluttered even harder, and the flickering light shone until nearly dawn before it gradually went out.

Early the next morning.

Usually when the bride first arrives at her husband's house, she must give tea to her in-laws, but this is Xu Chunzhi's general's mansion, but there are not so many things.

Lin Yunxin got up later than usual, and tossed for most of the night last night, and now she has back pain.

"Miss is awake?" Dishi heard the movement and immediately came over with toiletries.

"To be called Madame." Ning Cui reminded beside him.

Madam...... Lin Yunxin was slightly stunned, yes, she has married Xu Chunzhi, and now she is Mrs. Xu's Lin.

The title made her a little fresh and smiled, "What time is it?" ”

"Three quarters a minute." Condensation Road.

"It's already hour?" Lin Yunxin was surprised, "The general went to the court?" ”

"Yes, ma'am, the general ordered not to wake Madame." Condensation Road.

He's got a lot of energy...... Lin Yunxin pursed her lips slightly.

After washing and changing clothes, Lin Yunxin had just finished breakfast, and someone was already waiting outside the hall.

Looking at the age of about forty or fifty years, his legs seem to be a little inflexible, but people look loyal, generous and kind.

This is the first time Lin Yunxin has seen this person, and Fang Cai Ningcui has told him that he is the housekeeper in the general's mansion, and he is deeply trusted by Xu Chunzhi. He was followed by a group of four nurses and four mothers-in-law.

"The old slave Wan Chengjun, please say hello to Mrs., Mrs. Wanfu." Steward Wan bowed down, and the nurse and mother-in-law behind him knelt down directly, and said in unison, "Madame Wanfu."

Lin Yunxin smiled, this Wan Cheng Army is probably retired from the army: "Wan Steward doesn't have to be polite. Her eyes fell on the group of nurses and mothers-in-law in front of her.

Steward Wan immediately said, "Madam, these eight people were brought to Madame by the orders of the Lord. Each of the four nurses led a small team to be responsible for the front yard, the backyard, the guards who went out, and the purchase of sundries, and the four mothers-in-law were originally responsible for the kitchen, laundry, procurement, and sweeping. ”

"My lord's message: Madame, you take a look first, if there is a suitable one, you will keep it, and if you don't like it, you will sell it directly, and the house should be arranged by Mrs. Re-decide." Steward Wan saluted respectfully.

It turned out that Xu Chunzhi was worried that she would not have enough manpower, so she sent someone to her, after all, in the past, she was only in charge of a small area of Tingyuxuan in the Lin family, and there were only more than ten people who came and went, but it was different in the General's Mansion.

However, with great power comes great responsibility, and it seems that when she first arrived at the General's Mansion, the first thing she did was to deal with general affairs.

Lin Yunxin nodded: "In this case, the daily work of the past three days will remain unchanged for the time being, let the people under your hands bring me from left to right according to your order, understand?" ”

"Yes!" For three days, it is necessary to see how everyone's daily work is doing, and then decide to stay. Naturally, everyone cheered up 120,000 points.

"Condensation, prepare pen and paper, and call Xiangzhu to record." Lin Yunxin said again.

Since managers should first understand these people, there is no more effective way to keep records than to keep a unified record.

Steward Wan looked at Lin Yunxin's graceful and indifferent, and his heart was also relieved, more than half of these slaves were rewarded when the emperor gave the house, and for more than a year, they had already figured out the origin of the people, but they couldn't find a suitable reason to replace them on a large scale for a while.

Although they are proficient in marching and fighting, they are very negligent in the management of the house, and they don't care too much about it, and now that a lady has entered the mansion, it is natural to eliminate a group of slaves, so I don't know what the lady will do.

In a few days, Lin Yunxin had a preliminary understanding of the situation of the slaves in the house, who had what specialties, what they were suitable for, and how they were doing. After all, she is also a person who manages more than a dozen shops, and a hundred or so servants are not a problem for her.

She found the group of servants very interestingly divided into two camps, a small group of them were extremely respectful to her, and did not doubt or refute anything she was told, and the other group, although they were also respectful, more or less liked to take her own ideas, and fundamentally did not really take her as their master.

Asked privately, Lin Yunxin understood the crux of the matter, it turned out that this group of people had been arranged by the emperor to take care of them before Xu Chunzhi entered the mansion, no wonder this situation occurred.

If it is an ordinary girl's family, when she hears that it is the emperor's manpower, she naturally does not dare to move, but Lin Yunxin has dealt with the emperor and has a certain understanding of him, if these people are sent by Xu Chunzhi, with the emperor's suspicious temperament, he will definitely think more, but if she sends it, the emperor may think about this matter, but he will not care too much.

In half a month, Lin Yunxin sent away some servants who were not obedient and capable enough, and then replaced them with a group of "newcomers" who had already been trained.

In this way, Lin Yunxin became more and more comfortable and smooth in the house.

In the evening.

Lin Yunxin looked at the sky, and waited for Long Mingwei, who came to report: "Madam, my lord said that he was busy with official business and couldn't go home on time, please don't wait for him." ”

"Got it." Lin Yunxin sighed slightly, these days, except for Xu Chunzhi, who accompanied her back to the Lin Mansion on the day she returned to the door on the third day, she didn't see anyone every day at other times, and she usually came back late.

Not only Xu Chunzhi, I heard that her grandfather Lin Xuhuai was also so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, after all, his grandfather was in the Ministry of Industry, and the matter of water conservancy was a major event of the Ministry of Industry.

For this reason, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, all saying that the emperor has no way, so the sky is flooded.

The night is getting deeper.

The moon hangs high.

Lin Yunxin finished washing and changed into light clothes, although it is autumn, there is still heat, but fortunately, there is a cool breeze at night, so it will not be so difficult.

"It's been a long time, and I haven't come back yet." Lin Yunxin shook her head and simply went to bed in advance, but when she walked to the side of the bed, her whole body was suddenly hugged.

She was startled and complained, "You walk silently? ”

Xu Chunzhi smiled: "Yes, you just know? ”

Lin Yunxin glanced at him, saw that he was still wearing an official uniform, and asked, "Are you hungry?" Kitchen......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xu Chunzhi immediately said, "I'm hungry." As he spoke, he took a bite on Lin Yunxin's ear and said in a dumb voice, "I'm so hungry that I want to eat people." ”

Lin Yunxin's face instantly became feverish. Although she has been married for half a month, she is still a little uncomfortable, she usually looks like a serious person, why is she so unserious?

Feeling that the hand around her had begun to be dishonest, Lin Yunxin grabbed it with righteous words: "No, eat first." ”

Xu Chun's hand paused: "Must?" ”

"Yes." Lin Yunxin didn't discuss.

"Alright then, it looks like I'll have to eat you first." Xu Chunzhi shrugged.

Lin Yunxin glanced at him again, and called the little maid to change his regular clothes at home for him.

Accompanying Xu Chunzhi to eat in the dining room, Lin Yunxin noticed that Xu Chunzhi's eyebrows seemed to be a little worried, and the jokes were more open than usual, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the court?" ”

Xu Chun paused, sighed slightly, and said, "The old man is on today. Emperor Shu, please go to the front line of the flood. ”

Lin Yunxin was stunned: "What about the Ministry of Industry?" "It stands to reason that grandpa is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and it is generally not good to go past the boss and ask the emperor directly.

It is said that the proposal was rejected by the Ministry of Works, so he asked for his own life. Not to mention...... During this time, the Ministry of Industry has not been able to come up with an effective plan, and the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the Ministry of Industry. ”

"The emperor approved Grandpa's request?" Lin Yunxin asked.

"Not bad. Not only that, but the emperor also ordered me to set off for the upper reaches of the Qinjiang River tomorrow morning to assist in the flooding. "Xu Chundao.

"What?" Lin Yunxin was surprised and touched the quilt on the edge of the table, and with a "clang", the cup fell to the ground, fell to pieces, and the tea in the cup spilled.

Lin Yunxin frowned slightly, seeing this scene, her heart became more and more worried.

The last thing she wanted happened.

Xu Chunzhi is with Lin Yunxin every day, he is familiar with it, and he also knows a little about the art of metaphysics, when talking about an unknown thing, he suddenly broke the cup and the water overflowed, which is by no means a good sign, especially when they are talking about the flood, it seems to be ......

He immediately smiled and comforted Lin Yunxin and said, "It's okay, don't take it to heart." ”

Lin Yunxin nodded subconsciously, still worried in her heart, but the wood has been completed, the emperor has already assigned, this matter can't be avoided, so what you can do is try your best to avoid risks, sometimes it is a crisis but it is also an opportunity.

"Don't worry, let me think about it." Lin Yunxin let go of her brows and said.

Looking at the girl who was thinking seriously in front of him, Xu Chunzhi smiled brightly, this beautiful and intelligent girl was his wife, it was his Xu Chunzhi's and not someone else's, even if others wanted to, they wouldn't have a chance.

Thinking of this, Xu Chunzhi was a little proud. The worries and sorrows in his heart ran out of the clouds in an instant, how could he be so lucky to meet his Wan Xin?

For this, he also has to try to find a way to calm the flood.

Lin Yunxin looked at the broken cup on the ground, and the explosion echoed in her ears.

…… Exploding?

"What advice did Grandpa make?" Lin Yunxin asked.

"The old man suggested blowing up the mountain to extract rocks and transport them to block the rout river, and at the same time opening the floodgates to open up new channels to drain the water to the villages downstream."

"I see, it's a good plan."

Xu Chunzhi was a little surprised, in fact, this suggestion has been noisy in the court today, after all, the opening of the floodgates has a great impact, involving the migration of hundreds of thousands of people and post-disaster reconstruction, the matter is big, and the bombing of mountains and stones may also cause unimaginable troubles, but fortunately, the emperor finally agreed to this suggestion under the guarantee of Old Man Lin with the head of Xiang Shang.

I have to say that his ancestor-in-law is indeed very human and has extraordinary courage.

Lin Yunxin said: "Grandpa's suggestion is very good, but there is one thing you must pay attention to. ”

"Huh?"

"Explosives can blow up mountains and stones, and at the same time, they can maliciously blow up flood control rivers that should be built." Lin Yunxin said solemnly.

Xu Chunzhi raised his eyebrows: "Blow up the river? He glanced quickly at the shattered cups on the floor and the tea spilled on the floor, and finally nodded.

Lin Yunxin's words mean that someone is obstructing it, and this matter may be related to the life and death of millions of people, and doing something like this will cost everyone's lives.

It is precisely because of this that it is the real life-threatening and most important thing!

If it weren't for Lin Yunxin's deliberate reminder, I'm afraid he wouldn't have focused on the precautionary arrangements in this regard, after all, in his opinion, there would not be such a frustrated person.

"Other than that, you have to be careful. Where are you now...... That's too tall for your age......" Lin Yunxin sighed faintly.

Xu Chunzhi was slightly stunned.
