Chapter 1 When I first arrived, my house was ransacked
The incense burner was filled with white smoke, and the gauze curtain separated the table. The maid held up the preserved fruit and walked to the imperial concubine's couch inside.
The woman on the couch had a wheat-colored skin, her eyes were stained with frost, and her face was energetic. She was over fifty years old, but she still looked charming.
Hearing the movement, the woman slowly opened her eyes and sighed: "How long has it been?"
"It's time to go back to the old lady."
The person who was called the old lady was Tang Zangyue.
Tang Zangyue from Ben San came from the 21st century and died in an accident while picking herbs. The system gave her a chance to be reborn, and she needed to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the original owner before she could be brought back to that world.
She definitely wanted to go back. She didn't want her white-haired grandma to give away her black-haired grandma, so she immediately responded to the system's request.
As soon as she walked in, she found that the original owner had more than fifty people, and there were even descendants below. After accepting the memory of the original owner, she even called him a good guy!
This is not only an imaginary ancient world, but also a novel world she read when she was young. Because there was a cannon fodder with the same name as hers at that time, she remembers it particularly deeply.
The cannon fodder is the original owner.
The novel mainly revolves around the real and fake young masters of the General's Mansion.
The male protagonist is the fake young master, Qian Zishu.
This matter started with the war on the border. The Xiao family was loyal and courageous. The whole family, both men and women, old and young, had been practicing martial arts since childhood. The original owner was born as a female military doctor and was loyal to the current emperor.
However, the emperor was fatuous and addicted to elixirs, wars broke out, natural disasters continued, sycophants were in power, and grain and grass were deducted. The original husband held on to the last piece of the city and eventually fell.
After the death of the original owner's husband, the state of Chu became even more miserable. The emperor increased taxes, sang and danced to promote peace, and died drunkenly. However, the original owner, adhering to the inheritance of the Xiao family, sent his legitimate sons and concubines to the battlefield again and again, and in the end no one survived.
Except for the youngest son.
The fourth child developed a greed for life and fear of death. His legs trembled when he wore armor, and he wet his pants when he went to the battlefield. He married a daughter of a scholar.
The original owner thought that he only had one son left, so he placed his hope on his grandchildren.
As for why the original owner didn't go to the battlefield? The original owner's hand was seriously injured and he couldn't pull the bow or swing the spear. He was only suitable for talking on paper and being a behind-the-scenes strategist.
The emperor finally became clear for a few years. He thought of the general's meritorious service and rewarded him with many things. However, because the Xiao family was too popular with the people, he charged the dead husband of the original owner with treason and treason, and he had his house confiscated and exiled.
At this moment, just after the charges were settled, the commanding officer of Jin Yiwei was on his way to ransack the house.
Tang Zangyue stood up, waving people away while gathering her thoughts.
Nanny Qian, who was the same age and had a high status in the General's Mansion, wanted to follow her, but Tang Zangyue refused.
This Aunt Qian was the accomplice who exchanged the real young master with the fake one. She was a distant relative of the fake young master Qian Zishu's family.
Qian Zishu's relatives were from a farmer's family, and he was injured when he was born. As a result, Qian Zishu was sick since birth, and the doctor said that he needed supplements to support his precious life.
How can the Qian family afford it? They can only find a solution to their distant relative, Aunt Qian.
Aunt Qian was visited by a poor relative crying. She happened to have made a mistake at the host's house and was deducted money. She thought of the second young master who had just been given birth to by the fourth master.
The Xiao family has a strict family tradition, and the deceased General Xiao only lived with the original owner and Aunt Liu. The original owner gave birth to the eldest son, the third daughter, and the fourth child to the old general.
The third girl got married early to the man who was the number one scholar at that time. She started her career as a sixth-rank Imperial Imperial College Secretary. With the help of the general's palace, her husband's family got a second-rank cabinet bachelor.
This third son-in-law was a man of repayment. Even if he faced dismissal from his post and a pay cut, he was unwilling to break away from the Jiangjun Mansion. The entire family of the General Mansion was temporarily detained in the dungeon, and it was the third son-in-law who was busy taking care of everything.
The boss died in the battle, and his wife was depressed and did not survive the next year. The eldest son only had one son left, named Xiao Zhonglu. He was fifteen this year, the age to join the army.
The fourth child has only one son, Xiao Zhongli, who is now twelve years old. After the real and fake young master was discovered, the original owner made the decision to reveal their identities, and also thought of sending the fake young master Qian Zishu back to the farmer's family. Only the fourth daughter-in-law has a bad temper.
Axis, had to leave Qian Zishu who had been raising him for many years, which led to a series of things that happened next.
The original owner thought that his fourth daughter-in-law had been filial for many years, so he followed her will and did not let the real heirs of the Xiao family suffer any injustice, so he raised Xiao Zhongli under his knees.
Aunt Liu only has the second grandchild and the fifth girl left. The fifth girl is in her early teens and the governor knows etiquette. The year when the old general died happened to be the day the fifth girl was born. She lost her father at a young age and was born prematurely.
My heart aches, good things are tight, and I have been pampered to this day.
When the concubine had a second wife, she raised two sons and one daughter, Xiao Zhonghao, Xiao Zhongran, and Xiao Ling'er.
Xiao Zhonghao and Xiao Zhongran are twins, seven years old now; Xiao Ling'er is only three years old. Their mother heard the news of her husband's death. When she was relaxing in the pavilion and sending the servants away, she accidentally fell into the lake. She called for help to no avail and sank into the lake.
And died.
After salvaging the concubine's daughter-in-law, the original owner had the lake filled in.
After sorting out the population of the large family, she arrived at the door of the General's Mansion's warehouse, and stored all the things inside into the space through the door.
In her previous life, she carried space with her since birth. The space is infinite and has the function of stopping time.
Probably to avoid confusion in time and space, all the things stored in the space before traveling were gone.
She glanced at her new treasure and curled her lips with satisfaction.
In order to silence the people of the world, the Hunjun sent many good things to the General's Mansion. After the General's Mansion ransacked the house, these treasures were returned to the Hunjun's private treasury.
This wishful thinking is very effective.
Now I have made a wedding dress for her.
"Old lady, what are you doing?"
The person who spoke was the steward of the General's Mansion, a steward who had long been bribed by someone who was ignorant of the emperor.
The property of the General's Mansion can be managed smoothly and not a single penny of it is confiscated and the private treasury of the ignorant emperor is confiscated, all depends on this steward who picks up everything and keeps strict control every day, which is more important than taking care of his own life.
With Tang Zangyue taking up space, I really don’t know how the manager should explain things to Hunjun...
Of course, this isn't something she should worry about.
Tang Zangyue smiled knowingly, "You have worked hard for so many years to manage the huge general's mansion. When Brother Lu goes to the battlefield, I will mention your monthly salary again."
The main purpose is to train the grandchildren, but Aunt Liu is weak and has no independent temperament. Shouldn't this huge General's Mansion be supervised by outsiders?
The original owner also trusted the steward. After all, the steward went to the battlefield with the old general when he was young. He retired due to inconvenience in his legs and feet, and then moved into this back house.
People change. No matter how ambitious a manager was when he was young, he cannot withstand the temptation of money now.
Not that this is bad, but...
Tang Zangyue couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. The original owner could understand what the steward did. She? It would be nice if she didn't take revenge and go back.
It just makes it impossible for the steward to give an explanation to Hun Jun.
Of course, if she can take revenge later, she will not be merciful.
"Here I am, walking around."
"Old madam, are you the only one?"
Tang Zangyue narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "What? You want to take care of my affairs too?"
The steward's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he hurriedly saluted, "Old Madam, it's serious."
Tang Zangyue: "I think you have worked hard and made great achievements. You have been on the battlefield with me. Do you really think that you are the master of this family and can you interfere with my affairs?"
The steward's thighs trembled, he knelt down and said: "Old madam, I don't dare."
