Chapter 2: Yuan's Mother's Calculation!
"Everyone is here, I want to announce one thing, I have already decided on our Shao Ge'er's family affairs, and I am the eldest daughter of Sheng Hong, who was sentenced to Yangzhou Tongju!"
"Brother Shao, in a few months, when the autumn comes, your mother and I will go to Yangzhou to send you a job, and after marrying a wife, don't hang out with those gentlemen all day long!"
"A few days ago, my father has entrusted your grandfather's old relationship with you, and I have found you an errand in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, although this position is not high, but you must do your best!"
After all, he is his own son and sister-in-law, and Uncle Yuan is not an old fool, so he encouraged him a few words.
This arrangement also took a lot of effort, don't look at this petty official as inconspicuous, but it dragged a lot of old relationships with his father back then.
Now the Yuan family has declined, and the human favor is used less than once, as the so-called parents' orders matchmaker words, this family matter Uncle Yuan is only informed.
Yuan Wenshao naturally has no idea of objecting, of course, even if he opposes it, it is invalid, this dynasty has always ruled the country with filial piety, and his children have no right to choose marriage.
"Remember my father's teachings!"
Yuan Wenchun and his wife didn't say anything, just smiled and echoed a few sentences.
But Mrs. Yuan was a little dissatisfied, she felt that her family was a dignified earl's mansion, how could her daughter-in-law be the daughter of a little seven-rank official?
Although she sat in the hall with a bad face, she did not express her intention to object, because the matter had already been decided, and she had no choice if she disagreed.
Don't look at the Yuan family, it looks good now, the Earl's Mansion on the gate plaque is majestic, but in fact it is just an empty shell.
When the official family restored the title, it was only given a house, and the rest of the money was only symbolic, and the confiscated land of the Earl's Palace was not returned at all.
And in order to maintain this dignity, the family bought a lot of subordinates, and this alone has almost emptied the previous savings.
Seeing that her daughter is also getting older, in order to prevent Sister Sakura from being wronged when she gets married, she urgently needs the support of foreign money, which is not worrying about her daughter-in-law's dowry.
And Mrs. Yuan on the boss's side is naturally reluctant, and the eldest daughter-in-law is still a niece, so it is not easy to explain it to her sister if she does that.
Then he can only grieve the second son, the small family is better to handle, anyway, he has always been filial, and he can understand her hard work as a mother, which is also for the good of the Yuan family.
Even in order to get off the horse for her daughter-in-law, Yuan's mother had an idea in her heart, planning to wait for the day of the dowry gift to call her sick and let the eldest couple replace her, this time it was also for the sake of the Sheng family's face......
Mrs. Yuan was not happy, and Uncle Yuan also wanted to go to the concubine to enjoy the singing and dancing, Yuan Wenshao had nothing to talk about, and the five people present had their own thoughts, so they dispersed after a few words.
He was leading someone back to his yard when suddenly a voice came from behind.
"Second brother, wait a minute!"
"Big brother!"
In the future, I will start a family, and I will not be idle all day long, but share more for my father and mother! Yuan Wenchun looks like a brother, and there is something in his words.
Yuan Wenshao didn't understand, he was not the original body of the foolish filial piety before, it was nothing more than the position of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and there was oil behind him.
This eldest brother is lazy and idle, shopping with a group of scholars all day long, it is estimated that he is only waiting for his father to inherit the title after a hundred years, and now he is embarrassed to teach himself.
"Okay big brother, I will definitely take you as an example and be filial to my parents......" Yuan Wenshao directly said at length.
I haven't served anyone in the scene, in short, the meaning of the words is very clear, anyway, with you in front of the proof, I will do what you do.
Yuan Wenchun, who was on the other side, nodded with satisfaction at first, but the more he listened, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and he looked at his younger brother in front of him in some surprise.
It felt like there had been a change, but I couldn't tell what had changed, four or five minutes had passed, and seeing that he still didn't mean to stop, he waved his hand impatiently.
"Gotta got, hurry up and go back, your sister-in-law is still waiting for me~"
The words are not speculative, and the two have nothing to talk about, or the relationship between the brothers is not very deep.
On the way back to his hospital, Yuan Wenshao was still checking the memories in his mind, the relationship between the brothers was okay when they were young, especially before the title was restored, the two of them were as good as one person.
But since he married this sister-in-law, and now that the title has been restored, it is even worse day by day, for fear that he will rob his family property, and that cousin and sister-in-law has fanned the flames in it.
When I returned to the house, under the service of the maid, I changed into a black suit and went to the yard to exercise, after all, ancient medicines were limited, and appendicitis was a terminal disease, so if you want to live a long life, you must have a good body.
"Whew, whew~" Yuan Wenshao leaned down and did push-ups.
Although the Yuan family is a noble family, three generations up is also a famous general, and there are many family members who have been on the battlefield at the peak, but how can they help Uncle Yuan's generation to be down.
Cheap dad has never been to the battlefield, and he doesn't even have a serious errand, let alone a family, so he can only exercise according to his own methods.
A few little maids in the courtyard over there poked out their little heads and talked secretly.
One of them blushed facefully: "Sister Chunhe, what are our second sons doing, look at this action~"
"Oh, you little girl, you dare to take care of your son's affairs, see how I clean you up~"
Just when a few maids were fighting, Yuan Wenshao had already gotten up and started squatting.
I can't help but think a lot in my heart, for my future wife Sheng Hualan, there are not many appearances in the play, although she is not a peerless beauty, but she is also gentle and lovely.
So it's not very repulsive, after all, which temple to burn which incense, this feudal society has no free love.
I have to mention one or two things in the future, after all, her mother is the eldest lady of the king, if this "upright" character is also inherited, then it will be a loss in the Yuan Mansion.
Although this dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty are somewhat similar, they are still fundamentally different, from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no wine at all to release the military power, and the veteran who fought the world with the great grandfather has evolved into a noble group.
Some official positions are also different, such as the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, which he was going to take office, was originally supposed to be established in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it appeared in this dynasty.
The Five Cities Terracotta Division, also known as the Imperial City Terracotta Division, is responsible for garrisoning the inner and outer cities of Bianjing.
However, in fact, it is very different, the five cities of the Terracotta Division for the grandfather Shi Chuang, responsible for patrolling thieves in Bianjing City, dredging ditches, fire prevention, and imprisoning light criminals, the responsibilities are very complicated, equivalent to the combination of the current police, traffic police, fire protection, urban management, industry and commerce, and health.
All commanded the envoys and the four rank officials, and the personnel were subordinate to the Ministry of War, but the administration was under the control of the Kaifeng Prefecture, which was also a major feature of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.
The so-called five cities refer to the east, west, south, north, and middle five yamen, the highest governor of each city is the commander, the actual grade is the sixth grade official, the subordinate deputy commander is the seventh grade, and the economic inheritance is the eighth grade.
There are a total of 42 subordinates in the five cities (7 in the middle city, 8 in the east city, and 9 in the south, west, and north cities), and each official is assigned a separate government office, in charge of patrolling thieves, leveling roads, inspecting prisoners, and banning fires.
To put it bluntly, the Five Cities Terracotta Division, as the name suggests, is like the public security bureau in today's capital, and the Terracotta Division of a single city is only equivalent to a sub-bureau, and the position of Jingcheng is equivalent to the head of the police station......
