Chapter 984: Coming to the Sheng family again!

Mrs. Yuan, who was originally angry, immediately became energetic when she heard Yuan Wenshao's words. She couldn't help but feel that Erlang was quite filial, knowing that it was not easy for her to be a mother.

He nodded happily and said: "Brother Shao, how much do you plan to pay? I heard that your grandmother has a piece of mutton-fat jade..."

"Mom, let me make a statement right now. No matter how much the eldest brother or sister-in-law contributes, Hua Lan and I will contribute double the amount. The child is still a younger brother anyway, and it is not good to be superior to the eldest brother!"

"Father and mother, please take your time and chat. I'm a little tired from the long journey, so I'll go back and rest first."

After saying these words, Yuan Wenshao stood up and left without waiting for her to react.

Looking at the departing figure, Mrs. Yuan blushed angrily and subconsciously picked up the teacup next to her. If she hadn't taken her face into consideration, she would have dropped it to the ground.

"He...he, what does this mean?"

Uncle Yuan still didn't say anything, just sipping tea leisurely there, as if it was some unique treasure.

Zhang, on the other hand, reacted quickly, crying and wiping away her tears.

"Mom, Guanren and I really don't have much money, as you know. We live on the government's regular money every month, and Sister Miao also..."

"Go, go, go, get out of here, I'm so annoyed when I see you~" Mrs. Yuan was so angry that she yelled...

After getting up the next day, Yuan Wenshao practiced boxing outside the yard as usual, took a shower, changed clothes, and rode out with his entourage.

On the way, he turned around and asked: "Rongbao, are all the gifts ready?"

"Don't worry, young master, the eldest lady has already told you when we were in Yuzhou that the furs on the car behind were all beaten by our village servants on the mountain a few days ago, and the Shu brocade was also specially set aside by the silk and satin village for today's gift! "

"And..." Rongbao introduced it in detail like a treasure trove.

"Yeah!" Yuan Wenshao nodded after hearing this.

Then he lightly knocked the horse's belly with his feet to increase the speed! .

"drive!"

This time I wasn't going to my father-in-law Sheng's house. Youdao did not forget the well digger. Although he, the military supervisor, also spent money, it was thanks to his uncle's mediation.

Moreover, the eldest cousin sister-in-law also helped a lot. If she hadn't come forward to find her mother's family, I guess it would have taken a lot of effort to get along well in Yuzhou. That letter from the British government solved the problem. question.

Therefore, every time he returned to Bianjing, he would come and visit with generous gifts. When he arrived at the Earl of Shouan's Mansion, Yuan Wenshao went in with his second cousin who came to greet him, and stayed there until lunch, before reluctantly leaving.

"Zhongxuan, come over when you have time. This time we were in such a hurry that we didn't make peace~"

"Big cousin, stay here~"

On the way back on horseback, Yuan Wenshao felt sad for a while. The saying that marrying a good wife will bring prosperity to three generations is really true at all.

Look at the life of my aunt's family. It's prosperous. My cousin Huang Yanchao, who has just been sent out, is not a few years older than me, but he is already a sixth-rank official in the Privy Council and can wear red robes soon.

And her cousin Huang Yanrun, who was about to become her brother-in-law, was selected as a scholar at a young age. Next time Qiu Gui was expected to win the title of Juren, the next generation of the Huang family, a civil and military veteran, was considered stable.

On the other hand, in a certain sense, the two sides of my family are both civilized and military, but the gap between them is probably too big.

Although the eldest brother Yuan Wenchun always considers himself a scholar, in fact he is now 26 years old and has taken the exam countless times.

As a result, he didn’t even get along with a mere scholar, but he didn’t have the self-awareness to do anything about it. He didn’t care about Men Yin becoming an official, and spent his whole day having fun with those people, eating and waiting to die...

In the afternoon, I went to the Sheng family with generous gifts. My brother-in-law, Changbai, greeted him on behalf of his father. This young man was now 17 years old. He already had the title of Juren, and he was very promising at a young age.

"Eldest brother-in-law, my father and mother are at my grandmother's longevity hall!"

"Zecheng, your sister went to the Songshan Shaolin Temple to worship Buddha, and she asked for this specifically for you~"

As he spoke, Yuan Wenshao took out the peace charm from his arms and smiled at the young man in front of him.

Sheng Changbai took it solemnly, and at the same time said politely: "Thank you, eldest sister, for caring about me, and also thank you, eldest brother-in-law!"

"We are all a family, why are you so polite? If your eldest sister finds out, I'm afraid she will be unhappy again~" "How is Brother Shi? My eldest sister is doing well too. Why didn't she come back with us?"

The two of them walked towards the backyard, chatting and laughing.

After arriving at Shouan Hall, he first bowed to the three elders.

"Meet my grandmother, father-in-law, and mother-in-law!"

"Get up, Zhongxuan~"

As the head of the family, Sheng Hong stroked his beard and said with a smile.

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 bring Brother Shi back with you? Is he sick?"

Wang Ruofu has a rather impatient temper. He didn't sleep well all night after getting the news yesterday, for fear that something might happen to his daughter.

Yuan Wenshao, whose butt had just touched the chair, was about to pick up his tea cup and take a sip of water. Hearing this, he quickly explained with a smile.

"Elders, please rest assured that my wife is in good health now, and my brother is eating well and can speak now~"

"I didn't come back this time because I didn't want her to be too tired. It was too hard to travel and travel. When the child is born, I will bring her back to kowtow to the elders!"

"Huh~" Wang Ruofu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that nothing happened. You don't know, Zhongxuan, but I had a dream last night. I was afraid that Hua'er..."

"Okay, just say a few words and let people see if the food is ready~"

Sheng Hong quickly interrupted her ramblings, wondering what it would be like for her son-in-law to hear her words.

After a simple meal, Yuan Wenshao remembered his wife's previous instructions and motioned to his entourage to bring the things in.

"Changfeng, Molan, Rulan, Minglan, this is a gift prepared by you big sisters~"

"Thank you eldest sister and brother-in-law!"

Several people thanked him politely. Mo Lan was probably warned because of what happened last time, so nothing happened this time.

Sheng Hong also knew that his son-in-law had a temper, so he didn't let Lin Sushuang come over at all. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Yuan Wenshao stayed at Sheng's house until dark, chatted a lot with his father-in-law, and even learned a lot of knowledge from it. Some things he had not thought about before suddenly became clear to him.

You can say that Lao Sheng is a "scumbag", but it is undeniable that he is somewhat capable in terms of being an official.

"My father-in-law, it's getting late by then. My son-in-law will go back first and come back to visit the elders when he has time~"

"Well, Changbai, I'll give this to my father instead!"

As the eldest son of the Sheng family, and having passed the imperial examination, Changbai was qualified to welcome and send off his father on behalf of his father.

"Brother-in-law, walk slowly~"

"Well, you can go back. If you get bored studying in Jingzhong, you can go to Yuzhou to relax. This is what your eldest sister means!"

After explaining, he got on his horse, waved to his brother-in-law, then clapped his horse and left...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Yuan Wenshao went out early and came back late every day, either visiting relatives, friends or colleagues.

Because I also have a mission when I come back this time. According to the instructions of Commander Liu Sheng, I will represent Yuzhou to deliver "local specialties" to the big guys in Beijing.

Not to mention the Ministry of War in charge of the Xiang Army, even the British government was gone...
