Chapter 64: Coming to the Sheng Family Again!
Mrs. Yuan, who was originally angry, heard Yuan Wenshao's words, and instantly came to her senses, and she couldn't help but feel that Erlang was still quite filial, knowing that it was not easy for her to be a mother.
nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Brother Shao, how much are you going to give, I heard that your grandmother has a piece of mutton fat jade..."
"Mother, I'll make a statement now, no matter how much the eldest brother and sister-in-law make, Hua Lan and I will both make double contributions, and the child is also a younger brother no matter what, and it is not easy to override the eldest brother!"
"Father and mother, you can talk slowly, I'm a little tired from the journey, so I'll go back and rest first."
After leaving this sentence, without waiting for her to react, Yuan Wenshao got up and left directly.
Looking at the back of the leaving, Mrs. Yuan's face was red and her neck was thick, and she subconsciously picked up the teacup next to her, if she didn't take care of her face, I was afraid that she would have fallen to the ground at that time.
"He... He, what does this mean? ”
Uncle Yuan still didn't speak, and he was leisurely sipping tea there, as if he were some peerless treasure.
And Zhang's reaction was relatively fast, and he quickly cried and wiped his tears.
"Mother, I don't have much money with the officials, you know this, I live on the little money in the house every month, and Sister Miao is also..."
"Get out, get out of here, I'm annoyed when I see you~" Mrs. Yuan scolded angrily......
After getting up the next day, Yuan Wenshao played a set of boxing outside the courtyard as usual, took a shower and changed his clothes, and rode out with his entourage.
On the way, he deliberately turned his head and asked, "Rongbao, are the gifts ready?" ”
"Don't worry, son, when I was in Yuzhou, the eldest lady had already explained, and the furs on the back car were all beaten by our Zhuangzi family in the mountains a few days ago, and Shu brocade was also specially set aside by the silk village to give gifts today!"
"And ......" Rong Bao explained in detail like a few treasures.
"Hmm!" Yuan Wenshao nodded after listening.
Then gently knock the horse's belly with both feet and lift the speed up a bit!
"Drive!"
This time I didn't go to my father-in-law's Sheng family, there is a way to draught and not forget to dig wells, although I also made money as a soldier and horse supervisor, but it was also thanks to my uncle's mediation.
And the eldest cousin-in-law also helped a lot, if she didn't come forward to find her mother's family, it is estimated that if you want to mix like a fish in water in Yuzhou, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort, that letter from the British government, in which it solves a big problem.
So every time I go back to Bianjing, I will prepare a generous gift to come and visit, and when I arrived at the Earl of Shou'an's Mansion, Yuan Wenshao went in with the second cousin who came to greet him, and stayed until noon after dinner, and then reluctantly left.
"Zhong Xuan, come over when you have time, this time the time is in a hurry and it hasn't been reconciled~"
"Big cousin, stay ~"
On the way back on horseback, Yuan Wenshao sighed in his heart for a while, the sentence of marrying a good wife and Wang Sandai is really not false at all.
Look at the life of Aunt Ren's family, it is called a red fire, the cousin Huang Yanchao who has just been sent out is not a few years older than himself, but he is already a sixth-rank official of the Privy Council, and he will soon be able to wear a red vermilion robe.
And the cousin Huang Yanrun, who is about to become a brother-in-law, won the show at a young age, and the next autumn boudoir is expected to win the fame of the people, and the next generation of the old Huang family is stable.
On the other hand, on the other hand, on the side of my own family, in a sense, it can be regarded as a literature and a martial arts, but the gap here is too big.
Don't look at that eldest brother Yuan Wenchun usually thinks of himself as a scholar, but in fact, he is 26 years old now, and he doesn't know how many times he has taken the exam.
As a result, he didn't even mix up with a mere talent, but he didn't have any self-knowledge, he disdained the door shade, and spent all day long with those people to have fun and eat and wait for death......
In the afternoon, he went to the Sheng family with a generous gift, and his brother-in-law Changbai greeted him on behalf of his father, this young man is now 17 years old, and now he has a fame, which can be described as a young and promising.
"Eldest brother-in-law, father and mother are in Grandmother's Shou'an Hall!"
"Zecheng, this your sister went to Songshan Shaolin Temple to worship the Buddha before, and she specially asked for you~"
Saying that, Yuan Wenshao took out a peace charm from his arms, and smiled at a young man in front of him.
Sheng Changbai took it very solemnly, and at the same time said politely: "Thank you big sister for your concern, and thank you big brother-in-law!" ”
"It's all a family, what's polite, if you let your big sister know, I'm afraid I'll be unhappy again~"
"How is Brother Shi'er, and the big sister is fine, why didn't she come back together?"
The two of them walked to the backyard, chatting and laughing.
After arriving at Shou'an Hall, he bowed to the three elders first.
"Meet my grandmother, my father-in-law, my mother-in-law!"
"Get up, Zhongxuan~"
As the head of the family, Sheng Hong, stroked his beard and said with a smile.
And Mrs. Sheng was more concerned about her granddaughter, and asked eagerly: "Brother Shao, how is Hua'er's health?" ”
"Yes, why didn't Hua Lan come back with Brother Shi with you, is she sick?"
Wang Ruofu is more anxious, and she didn't sleep well all night after getting the news yesterday, for fear that something would happen to her daughter.
Yuan Wenshao, whose butt had just touched the chair, was about to pick up the teacup and drink saliva, when he heard the words, he quickly explained with a smile.
"Elders, please rest assured, the lady is in good health now, and Brother Shi is also eating a good thing, and now he can already speak~"
"I didn't come back this time because I didn't want her to be too tired, the boat and car were too hard, and when the child in the womb was born, I would bring it back and kowtow to the elders!"
"Whew~" Wang Ruofu breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that nothing happened, don't you know, Zhong Xuan, I had a dream last night, I'm afraid of Hua'er..."
"Okay, let's say a few words, let people see if the meal is ready~"
Sheng Hong hurriedly interrupted her chatter, and her son-in-law heard what it looked like.
After a simple meal, Yuan Wenshao remembered the previous lady's entrustment and motioned for his entourage to bring things in.
"Changfeng, Mo Lan, Rulan, Minglan, this is a gift prepared by your big sister~"
"Thank you big sister and big brother-in-law!"
A few people politely thanked him, and Mo Lan estimated that he was warned because of what happened last time, and he didn't make any trouble this time.
Sheng Hong also knew that this son-in-law had a temper, so he didn't let Lin Yushuang come over at all, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
And Yuan Wenshao stayed in the Sheng family until dark, chatted a lot with the old father-in-law, and even learned a lot of knowledge in it, and some things that he hadn't figured out before had all suddenly become clear.
You can say that Lao Sheng is a "scumbag", but it is undeniable that he is still somewhat capable in terms of the way of being an official.
"Lord Yue, it's not too early, the son-in-law will go back first, and I will come to visit the elders again when I have time later~"
"Well, Changbai, take it for my father!"
Changbai, as the eldest son of the Sheng family, and now that he has been admitted to the examination, he is qualified to welcome and send him on behalf of his father.
"Brother-in-law walks slowly~"
"Well, you go back, if you are bored in Beijing, you can go to Yuzhou to relax, this is also what your eldest sister means!"
After explaining, he turned over and got on the horse, waved his hand to his brother-in-law, and then patted the horse away......
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, during which Yuan Wenshao went out early and returned late every day, either visiting relatives and friends or visiting colleagues.
Because I also have a task when I come back this time, according to the instructions of Liu Sheng, I will send "local products" to the bigwigs in Beijing on behalf of Yuzhou.
Not to mention the military department in charge of the Xiang Army, even the British government has gone......
