Chapter 955 Hua Lan gets married!

In the past few months, Yuan Wenshao had successively dealt with Aunt Feng in his mother's courtyard, and Aunt Qian in his sister-in-law Zhang's courtyard. Now no servant in the mansion dared to neglect them anymore.

Normally, as long as you go over and stare at them, these people will tremble in their hearts. This can be regarded as achieving the goal. In a few days, when the wife Hualan gets married, she should not be made trouble by these people...

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the time for the Chinese New Year. There were holidays in ancient times. This dynasty stipulated that there would be seven days off during the Chinese New Year. However, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division became busier at this time.

Accidents can happen at other times, but if something happened during the Chinese New Year, it would definitely involve a lot of people, so a lot of people would be left on duty, and Yuan Wenshao's vacation would be shortened.

"Sir, you are back. The master and the eldest lady are waiting at the ancestral hall~"

"It's such a cold weather, thank you for your hard work!"

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Yuan Wenshao took his elders home with Rong Bao in the snow and wind. He was exhausted from the past two days and had originally planned to take a vacation, but who could have imagined that an unexpected incident would occur.

The five-year-old second son of the Marquis of Weiyuan's family unfortunately got lost when he went out to play. This incident alarmed the officials in the palace.

The old man, who had just lost his son, felt very strongly about this. He specially sent an order to the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities, and then the commander of the fourth rank was personally in charge. All patrols went to the streets, and they quickly turned over Bianjing City to find him.

Fortunately, the abducted child was found in a dilapidated temple. If it had been a little later, the child would have been transferred away. In order to appease the anger of Marquis Weiyuan, all those arrested were executed without trial.

Yuan Wenshao didn't have time to change his clothes, so he directly wore the black official robe of the Army and Horses Division and hurried to his ancestral hall.

"Father, I'm late!"

"Well, the court's errands are important. I also heard about the Weiyuan Hou family. The simple man was finally found!"

Yuan Wenchun, who was next to him, had been feeling unhappy because of what happened before, so he just found fault with him.

He scolded: "Erlang, what's the matter with you? Why didn't you take a bath and change clothes for such a big thing as worshiping your ancestors?"

Yuan Wenshao was not used to his temper, so he responded directly: "Brother, didn't you see that I just came back?"

"Besides, wearing official uniforms to worship our ancestors also proves that our Yuan family is getting more and more prosperous, and others don't want to wear them yet!"

"you…"

These words stung Yuan Wenchun, because he had always wanted to become an official through the imperial examination, but after years of hard work and torture, he failed to even pass the examination.

It is estimated that even if he wanted to be an official in the end, he would have to take the door-yin route, because the only favor he had in the family had already been used by Mr. Yuan.

"Pah, pah!" Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Uncle Yuan was so angry that he went up to his two sons and kicked each of them hard.

"Okay, I usually don't care about the quarrel. How dare you do this in front of your ancestors?"

"Father is happy and angry!"

In fact, Uncle Yuan still has several concubines, but they are different from the Sheng family because the eldest wife, Mrs. Yuan, is relatively powerful, so even the one born by his concubine usually has a relatively low sense of presence.

Only today, when people were worshiping their ancestors, did they dare to come out and do anything. Seeing the quarrel happening here, everyone lowered their heads and pretended to be ostriches.

Before this dynasty, the concubine generally did not have the patriarchal rights to participate in family sacrifices. This was to maintain the distinction between concubine and concubine, and to maintain a strict attitude towards the patriarchal system.

However, Taizu of this dynasty broke this solid concept. It may be related to the fact that the old man was also a concubine in his family. He allowed concubine children to participate in the patriarchal activities of sacrifice. In fact, this was the biggest increase in rights.

After worshiping their ancestors, the family began to have dinner in Cheng'anju. Of course, only the direct descendants were here, and the other concubines went back to their respective homes. It can be considered lively, because we have to watch the New Year's Eve in the evening. After dinner, a few people played leaf cards, played small bets and happily played hu.

Yuan Wenshao didn't think anything was wrong. He had a lot of fun and actually won a lot of money. However, his elder brother Yuan Wenchun and his wife who were sitting opposite looked a little unhappy.

"Sister, my second brother is happy today. All the money he won goes to you!"

"Wow, thank you, second brother~"

Yuan Wenying, who was a little sleepy at first, was taking a nap next to us. When she heard this, she was very energetic. After taking the money bag with her little hand, her smiling eyes narrowed to a slit.

Seeing this, Yuan Wenchun and his wife were even more angry, because a large part of the money was just lost by them. Whether it was playing leaf cards or throwing pots, they almost never won.

……

After the New Year, Yuan Wenshao was 19. In modern times, he might still be a young man, the eldest child of his parents, but in this dynasty, it is already rare for him to not be married at this age.

This is not Mrs. Yuan's intention. After all, he is also his biological son. The reason is that the Yuan family has declined and it is difficult to find a suitable candidate. The one who is neither high nor low is the most difficult to find.

Some of the real dignitaries in the capital did not look down on Earl Zhongqin's mansion at all. Madam Yuan wanted to marry her niece over, and the Feng family was happy with it.

But when Uncle Yuan knew about it, he gritted his teeth and firmly disagreed. He even moved out of his late mother's house, so the choice was postponed until now, and now the wedding is finally about to happen.

After the incident in Yangzhou, Uncle Yuan personally sent someone to keep an eye on it. Mrs. Yuan also knew the importance of the matter, so she didn't cause any trouble...

At the same time, the Sheng family in Yangzhou was also making intensive preparations. Because the two families were relatively far apart, the father, Sheng Hong, was an official of the imperial court and would leave his post without permission without any important matters.

So only her biological brother Sheng Changbai, Dafang's uncle Sheng Wei, and Dafang's legitimate son Changwu came to see her off.

There is also Sheng Hong's little thought in this. He feels that his in-laws are nobles in the capital, and letting his brother and his son go can also gain some favors. Whether it is the future of his nephew's future in the army, or the eldest son's business, it will be somewhat convenient. .

And Sheng Wei was a good man, so he certainly understood what his younger brother was thinking, so he came all the way from Youyang to get married, and the money he spent was not a small sum of money.

Originally, for his niece to get married, his uncle only needed to give some gift money at most, but Sheng Wei reciprocated the favor and gave Hualan not only the gift money, but also a more generous dowry.

The two brothers, Sheng Hong and Sheng Wei, were the children of the first and second brothers respectively. The relationship between the first master and the second master was not very good at the time.

But in Sheng Hong's generation, because there are no direct brothers, the mutual support is closer than those of real brothers.

Bu Shenghong couldn't help but blush when he saw the servants carrying things home.

"Brother, the house is ready, what are you doing?"

"What's the point? Our Hua'er is marrying into the Earl's Palace in the capital. The Sheng family can't let them look down upon them. If the dowry is thick, the children will have enough confidence in the husband's family in the future!"

Sheng Wei was very generous, at least doubling the dowry. It was not just a matter of family affection, but part of it was a thank-you gift.

Because there are too many good things.

There are four new pieces of lake satin of various colors, three pieces of Shu brocade of various colors, all of which are extremely lustrous and colorful. There are two sets of Huizhou's Four Treasures of the Study, a pair of red gold and agate bracelets, and a pair of emerald bracelets wrapped with silver leaf silk.

There are two pairs of hairpins and gold hairpins, a box of round red coral beads and various glazed rice beads, five rings of various fashionable designs, and the remaining various Zhuangzi farm products, as well as some girls' gadgets...
