Chapter 1016 What a loud tone!

"Brother Shao, your second uncle and I are here for nothing else. Your cousin is also old now. Can you find a job for him in the Military and Horse Department?"

"We don't have big requirements, just a seventh or eighth grade official!"

Second Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng each spoke one sentence, as if the court official was just like the cabbage in their cellar.

After Mrs. Yuan listened to her brother's words, she picked up the tea cup and drank the tea gracefully. She felt that her youngest son was so promising now that he had already been made an earl. It would not be difficult to arrange an errand for his nephew.

After finishing the drink, he put down the teacup and echoed: "Brother Shao, your second uncle and we are all one family!"

"Your cousin is also young and promising now. He spends all his time dancing with swords and guns, but more than ten people can't get in. His literary skills and military skills are also praised by everyone. He can also help you in the Military and Horse Division!"

Grandma, is this not a big request?

Yuan Wenshao really wanted to go over there and kick this second aunt's head away to see if it was all paste.

Back then, my cheap dad put in a lot of effort. He not only used the favors of his ancestors, but also spent a lot of money to finally get himself an eighth-level inheritance from the Nancheng Bingma Division.

Nowadays, she has a very loud tone. She opens her mouth and shuts up to ask for an official of seventh or eighth rank. She also knows that the current county magistrate near Bianjing is only eighth rank.

As for my cousin, what talent can he have to become an official at the age of 17 or 18? He knows nothing about literature, Tao and military strategy, he is simple-minded and a reckless man. He is more familiar with visiting brothels and brothels than anyone else. If he goes to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, I'm afraid the public security in Bianjing City is not good.

You can't agree to this, otherwise there will never be peace in the future, and your uncle, third uncle, aunt, and so on, seven aunts and eight aunts will have to come and ask for an official.

Thinking of this, he immediately excused himself and said: "Second uncle, I have just taken up my new position, and I am still just a colleague. It may be difficult for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division!"

"Of course, if my cousin is really determined to make progress, then go to the western suburbs camp. It just so happens that the Divine Guards are going to defend the Hebei camp to fight against the Liao soldiers. This can also be a great achievement. When the time comes, you can become a marquis and become the prime minister to earn a royal title for your aunt. It can be regarded as fulfilling his filial piety!"

"This...this, uh..." Feng Zicai was a little dissatisfied and looked directly at his sister.

This Feng Youlan was the only legitimate son of the second wife, and the Qi family was very attached to this son. She must have said that she would send him to the frontier, but her expression changed immediately.

"Hmph, Brother Shao, if you don't want to help, just say so. Why do you want to harm your cousin like this?"

"Why did my aunt say this? My mother just said that my cousin is good at wielding swords and guns, so she plans to recommend him to make contributions!"

Although Yuan Wenshao looked innocent when he spoke, he was actually happy in his heart.

Because he did it on purpose. Didn't you praise that dandy like a flower? Then I will just go with the flow. If you have the ability, you can agree. If he can really make some names in the frontier, it will also prove that he has real talent. material.

At this time, Mrs. Yuan couldn't lose her face. After all, she had just promised her brother and his family that there would be no problem. Who would have thought that something would go wrong.

"Bang!" The teacup knocked on the table hard.

He said with a sad expression: "Brother Shao, your second uncle's family only has one legitimate son, Brother Lan. How can you send him to the battlefield?"

"Just find him a job in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department. It doesn't require seven or eight grades, just one grade will be enough!"

"Mother, please forgive me for not obeying my son's orders. The imperial court has its own rules for electing officials. How can my cousin become an official directly?"

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. Now I am deeply favored by the emperor. Even if I am criticized for being unfilial, I will not abandon public service for personal reasons!"

What Yuan Wenshao said was upright and awe-inspiring, as if the most upright official in this dynasty was alive.

But in fact, from the bottom of my heart, I don't take Uncle Feng and his family seriously, because you don't have the attitude to ask for help, and don't care about anything else. That cousin doesn't even show his face and he still wants to be an official?

Besides, I don’t burn incense on weekdays and I want to pray to Buddha when something happens. How can such a cheap thing happen? Why don’t I see your family coming over? I recognize you as my second uncle. If you don’t recognize you, just go cool down and rest.

"Sister, look, this is the good son you trained. He won't even help his own family when he becomes successful!" Seeing that he failed to achieve his goal, Second Uncle Feng sneered directly at Mrs. Yuan.

Mrs. Yuan was so angry that she simply stood up and pointed a trembling finger at her son.

He scolded angrily: "You unfilial son, I gave birth to you in vain. Now that you have become such a big official, what are you doing to your second uncle and others? We are all one family!"

"Mother, what you said is wrong. My surname is Yuan, not Feng~"

Yuan Wenshao also did not give any face, and he was not afraid of being known as unfilial, because he was now in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, in other words, he controlled the public opinion in the capital.

I had thought of countermeasures before coming, and sent people to publicize it when the time came. Even the title was ready.

"The newly appointed commander of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities has worked hard to live up to the emperor's favor. He would rather suffer an unfilial reputation than seek any welfare for his relatives!"

This has been the strategy used to deal with Mrs. Yuan for many years. Before she could take action, the gossip from her side had already spread out, and it didn't matter what Mrs. Yuan said after that.

"You..." Mrs. Yuan raised her tea cup and was about to throw it to the ground.

"Okay, what's the fuss about?"

At this time, Uncle Yuan walked in, with the word "dissatisfaction" written all over his face. He just heard his wife's words.

Feng Zicai and his wife, who were watching the excitement here, stood up from their chairs. They were still somewhat naturally afraid of this brother-in-law with a title.

"Brother-in-law, please take care of Erlang, he dares to be disobedient~"

Uncle Yuan ignored the brother-in-law and said something pointedly.

"Erlang was right just now. His surname is Yuan, not Feng. If anyone doesn't want to stay in the Yuan family, he can go back wherever he came from!"

As soon as these words came out, all the servants knelt on the ground, lowering their heads and not even daring to take a deep breath. This was the master's public expression of dissatisfaction with the eldest lady.

"Gudong~" Uncle Feng and his wife looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes, and swallowed silently.

Mrs. Yuan's face over there became extremely livid and ugly at that time. She didn't expect that after taking care of the family for so many years and giving birth to two sons and a daughter, she would end up in such a shameful state.

He asked tremblingly: "Officer, what do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. I've turned a blind eye to the money I've given to my parents' family over the years. But now who wants to ruin Erlang's future? The Yuan family can't tolerate her~"

"Father, mother, calm down~"

Yuan Wenshao sat there, sipping tea, and gave some symbolic persuasion, because he was the one who sent people to find his father, and there were some things he couldn't say.

For Uncle Yuan, who puts family inheritance first, his second son is now the hope of the Yuan family's rise. Even if he and Li are in trouble, he will not let this stupid woman run amok.

Mrs. Yuan was a little reluctant to step down now. She didn't expect her husband, who had been doing nothing for many years, to be so tough. She stood there somewhat at a loss.

It was so tense that everyone looked ugly, so Yuan Wenshao drank a cup of tea.

He said: "Second uncle, you have also seen that there are indeed some things to deal with at home now, so I won't leave you and second aunt to eat!"
