Chapter 988 Sheng Hong wants to ask for help!

"Ah~"

After his wife and children left the study, Yuan Wenshao stood up and sighed.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, I was a little distracted. The official family was getting older day by day, and all the heirs died in their early years. The hot topic in the capital nowadays is the dispute between King Yan and King Yong.

Now the two princes in the capital are having all kinds of cliques and making troubles for selfish ends, and the officials under them are almost losing their minds.

Today you take part in my book, and tomorrow I will find an opportunity to give you a discount. Fortunately, I have the support of Mr. Han and the British.

Since Yuzhou is so close to Bianjing, it is inevitable that it will be affected. Now there are only a few officials in total, and they are divided into several factions.

For example, Lord Zhizhou King has taken refuge with King Yan. This military commander who took office last year seems to be inseparable from King Yong.

Zhang Tongpan and himself were considered neutral, and together with Zhao Zongquan, who was more embarrassed, it felt like they were in the same dormitory, creating the feeling of several groups.

This is why Yuan Wenshao did not go to the Yamen, mainly because it was embarrassing to go there. The military commander was one year younger than him, and he heard that his fourth uncle's sister was the concubine of King Yong.

With this kind of unreachable relationship, he only knows how to win over people all day long when he doesn't do anything serious.

It has only been less than a year. When Liu Sheng was here, the Yuzhou Xiang army still had some combat effectiveness. The gang of bandits they fought were scurrying away, but now I am afraid it will be reduced by half.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Rong Bao cupped his hands at the door and said: "Master, Mr. Zhao just asked someone to send a message, inviting you to go fishing in Zhuangzi outside the city in the afternoon~"

"I know!" The expression on Yuan Wenshao's face became even more helpless.

This Zhao Ceying is not fishing. He is obviously thinking like a fish and is probably flying around. Of course, the position is extraordinary. Even if there is a slight chance, I am afraid that everyone can...

In the afternoon, in the beautiful Zhuangzi outside the city, Yuan Wenshao was drinking delicious fish soup with a few people in a small pavilion by the river.

Zhao Ceying usually has a bit of melancholy in his expression. He can't accept being like his father and waiting to die. But today, he has indeed changed from his past dejection and has become more handsome, as if he is several years younger.

He pointed to the people next to him: "Brother Zhongxuan, I don't need to introduce these people. I'm afraid you know them all better than me. They are all subordinates of the Yamen!"

Hearing this, Yuan Wenshao smiled, and then kicked the person next to him.

"Old Shen, my uncle, when we were drinking a few days ago, you said you wanted to buy something for Madam Zou, and then you made an excuse and ran away. Today, I see how you still give in~"

"Big..." Shen Congxing just stood up.

Yuan Wenshao interrupted directly with a look of displeasure.

"Hey, get out of here. How many times have I told you? Outside, we are brothers. We are not adults."

"Zhongxuan~"

"That's right. Lao Geng still has a short story. You can't imitate this Lao Shen. I have to emphasize every time I drink. Does it bother you to be so polite all day long?"

"Hahaha, you don't blame me for this. It was my wife who said that now that I have become a ninth-grade Yuhou, I must abide by the rules, otherwise it will easily cause trouble for my brother-in-law~"

When mentioning Mrs. Zou, Shen Congxing's face was filled with a happy smile.

After that, they continued to eat fish and drink. This place was so remote that they could relax. The sky gradually darkened, and the followers lit a fire nearby.

Several people leaned there with their arms crossed. Yuan Wenshao had been drinking with them in the past few years, and their relationship was still much closer. The eldest ladies from several families often met up to go shopping, and even Mrs. Zhao, Shen, occasionally participated.

Zhao Ceying's cheeks were slightly red, looking at the slightly turbulent lake in front of her, she suddenly picked up a stone and threw it in.

"Boom!"

He roared like he was venting his anger: "Zhongxuan, when do you think this day will end? The new Hu Tongzhi is so incompetent that he even transferred me to look at ordnance!"

"This is also a disaster for Chi Yu. Who gave Zhao Tuanlian a special status? Judging from this, the two people in Beijing are almost at war with each other!"

Yuan Wenshao didn't have much drunkenness on his face, and the little wine was nothing. When he was trying to persuade him, he couldn't help but glance at his friend. He probably didn't want to be left alone. "Gudu~" Zhao Ceying looked a little unnatural, as if someone else knew what was on his mind.

He pushed angrily: "Oh, what's the look in your eyes right now? I'm not the girl from Huichun Tower~"

"It doesn't matter what look I have, it doesn't matter what thoughts I have, but I have to stay the same to cope with all changes. There may be a broad road ahead, or there may be an abyss. Once you step out, you can't look back~"

"What are you talking about here? I can't even understand it!"

……

Since the yamen was full of smoke and smoke, Yuan Wenshao simply stayed out of sight and out of mind. He would go home at midnight all day long, and then either go hunting on horseback or run Zijia's business.

In any case, he is the second-in-command of the Yuzhou Xiang Army. It is too easy for an official to do business. His silk and satin shop also has restaurants, pawnshops, grain stores, etc. Anyway, he is doing whatever he wants to make money.

Integrating modern business strategies into it, it is difficult not to become popular. In just four to five years, the Yuan family has already earned 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, which makes Hua Lan smile from ear to ear every day, and he spends all day stealing money. With an abacus bead, the happiest thing is to settle accounts...

"drive!"

"Officer, is the gift we gave the government too thin?"

"It's not thin at all. When our sister Ning was born, her mother was very partial. The golden lock was not much bigger than my finger!"

The couple were chatting in the carriage, because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and the family had to go back to the mansion to express their feelings. After all, their real brother was now the only child in the Earl's Mansion.

It's strange to say this. It's not that Yuan Wenchun can't have children, but he gave birth to three daughters in a row, one by one and two by concubines, to Uncle Yuan and Mrs. Yuan, and they almost lost their temper.

Now Mrs. Yuan has some opinions about her niece Zhang, not to mention Uncle Yuan who puts family inheritance first.

The couple simply made a plan and sent two concubines to the eldest son's hospital to give birth to children. It seems that they are already pregnant and will give birth in August or September next year...

"Grandpa, grandma~"

As soon as they arrived at the house, the two children quickly jumped on their short legs, running and jumping, shouting.

Even Mrs. Yuan, who had always been partial to these two lively grandchildren, particularly liked them and held them in her arms with a smile.

"Brother Shi, Sister Ning, are you tired from this journey?"

"Father, mother!" Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan bowed and saluted.

Uncle Yuan smiled and nodded slightly.

"Well, get up~"

We only see her once or twice a year at most. Mrs. Yuan is much kinder than in previous years. Who makes the boss and his family so disappointing?

There were all kinds of discomforts in the earl, but they finally got through the Spring Festival. On the third day of the third year of junior high school, I accompanied my Hualan back to her parents' home.

In the Shou'an Hall, which is still an old lady, Mrs. Wang and Hua Lan, as well as several other "Lans" who are now slim, are playing with the two children. Sister Ning's chirping voice makes the atmosphere more lively. .

Yuan Wenshao was chatting with Chang Bai, who was about to get married in March, along with Qi Heng, Gu Tingye and others.

At this time, Sheng Hong walked over with square steps, stroking his beard and said, "Zhongxuan, come out with me for a moment. I have something to say!"

"My father-in-law, please speak~"

After arriving in the courtyard, Yuan Wenshao looked at Lao Sheng's face and guessed that he might have something to ask for.

as predicted……
