Chapter 989 The jealous Mo Lan!

"That Zhongxuan, you are now the military commander of Yuzhou. Can you make the decision yourself on the appointment and dismissal of some grassroots military attachés?"

"Well, from the ninth rank to the head of the capital, as long as they are not included in the imperial rank, such as some deputy heads of the capital and captains, the yamen has the right to directly appoint and remove them~"

Yuan Wenshao did not use any official tone and asked directly after explaining.

"Master-in-law, is there anyone you want to send to me?"

"Oh, this is not someone else. Hua Lan's cousin Chang Wu from her eldest uncle's family came to see her off a few years ago. I wonder if Zhong Xuan still remembers him?"

Sometimes after being an official for a long time, Sheng Hong has become accustomed to beating around the bush when talking about something.

As the son-in-law, Yuan Wenshao had no choice but to stand with him outside in the yard blowing the wind. It was still very cold just after the New Year. No matter how thick the fox fur cloak was, it could not block the howling northwest wind.

Now you don't have to guess what happened. To put it simply, he was asked to arrange work for his nephew, and Mr. Yuan did not intend to refuse.

One is to give face to the father-in-law, and Sheng Wei has indeed done this in this family. During various festivals in recent years, he, his wife, and their two children would have their birthdays, and they would ask people to give them a lot of things.

These are all favors, so he sniffed his nose and nodded, breathing hot air into his hands, and at the same time couldn't help but stamp his feet.

He replied: "Of course I have an impression. My uncle and I are quite close!"

"Every year, I send a lot of things to Yuzhou. I wonder if Brother Changwu is married. He should be quite young, right?"

"Changwu is nineteen years old, but he still hasn't found a suitable family," Sheng Hong explained with a smile.

He was very satisfied in his heart. This son-in-law was pretty good. He had also heard about it in recent years. When he got along with his eldest brother and his family, he never acted like a noble son. He always regarded himself as a junior.

These are not easy. You must know that although the eldest brother is Hua Lan's cousin and can be regarded as an elder, he is still just a businessman after all.

He also felt that it was a little cold outside, so he stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Zhongxuan, it's cold, so I'll just say it if I have anything to say. Changwu is just idle in Yuyang's hometown, and he is indeed not the material for the imperial examination!"

"I took the exam several times in a row, but in the end I didn't even pass the child exam. I led a bunch of servants to dance with guns and sticks all day long, which made the neighbors crazy. I just want you to help me find some jobs~ "

"Of course there is no problem, but my son-in-law's ability is relatively limited, especially now that the situation is complicated. I'm afraid I can only wrong Brother Changwu and become a captain in the Yuzhou Xiang Army first!"

Yuan Wenshao naturally nodded in agreement. He could directly decide on a low-ranking captain, which was considered a favor. Otherwise, he would have been a little embarrassed to accept the big gifts every year.

And here Sheng Hong is quite satisfied with this captain who can manage fifty people. After all, his nephew is a merchant's son, so it is impossible for him to become an official directly.

He studied hard for so many years and took three consecutive exams before becoming a Jinshi. Only he knew the pain and sorrow in this. In the end, he was only awarded a ninth-grade Sikou to join the army.

If you want your nephew to become an official directly, then you are not asking your son-in-law to do things, but deliberately making things difficult for him.

So he smiled and said: "That's great, let him stay with you and learn hard~"

"Father-in-law, what you said about this uncle is true. You can just tell me about this directly. Why are you still going around here? It's too embarrassing~"

"Hahaha, your uncle Sheng Wei is probably too embarrassed to speak to you directly!"

"Let's do this. I can't guarantee anything else, but Chang Wu will definitely let him wear the official robe of the ninth grade during my three years~"

Yuan Wenshao directly made a promise, but he was not afraid of not being able to fulfill it. After all, the hard days were coming to an end soon. After the New Year, Zhao Zongquan missed out and ascended the throne. He would not be able to justify not being promoted to the fifth level.

Afterwards, the two men turned around and walked back, chatting happily.

"Okay, okay, I've caused you trouble Zhongxuan, but there's no need to be too anxious about this matter. If that kid Chang Wu is worth training, he'd better practice more~"

"Well, don't worry, I'm afraid he won't be able to endure the hardship and then go back to complain!" "He dares. If this really happens, his father won't need to do anything. I, as an uncle, will teach him a lesson." Fan~"

"Master-in-law, I just want to..." Yuan Wenshao didn't even finish his words. He was a little confused when he entered the room and saw the scene in front of him.

The same goes for Sheng Hong on the side, his little eyes blinking at a loss. He heard some noise inside just outside. He thought it was children playing, but he didn't expect it to be such a thing.

Chang Bai happened to come over, left a few words and hurried out.

"Father, I'm going to ask the doctor!"

"Okay, let's go~"

At this time, only two brothers and sisters from the Yuan family were seen in the house, quarreling with Mo Lan, who had just grown hair. Mrs. Sheng had a cold face over there, but she could only sit there due to her status.

But Wang Ruofu glared at Mo Lan, considering that this was the old lady's Shou'an Hall, she didn't dare to make the decision privately. If this was in her Wei Ruixuan, she would have directly ordered her mother-in-law to take someone.

Hua Lan, who was a little angry here, was pulling his son Shi Geer regardless of the injury on his hand.

Ming Lan, who was already 15 years old after the Chinese New Year, was holding her niece Ning, working together to prevent the brothers and sisters from rushing forward.

Rulan was so naive that she was at a loss and could only look after her niece with Minglan, because Sister Ning was not very strong and she was about to break free.

Chang Feng stood in front of his sister Mo Lan. In short, the Shou'an Hall was in chaos, and the original harmonious atmosphere disappeared.

Brother Shi is now six years old, and he has been enlightened for several years and naturally understands everything. His father often said one thing, that is, no one can bully his mother, and this is deeply remembered in his heart.

I was so anxious that my face was red, and I couldn't break away even though I didn't have enough strength. The moment I saw Yuan Wenshao, I felt like I had a backbone.

He stopped and stretched out his chubby little hand, pointing at Mo Lan, even the fourth aunt stopped shouting loudly and hysterically.

"Dad, she bullied my mother and hurt her hand just now!"

"Huh?" Yuan Wenshao looked subconsciously and then noticed the injury on his wife's hand. The red on the white and tender wrist was particularly conspicuous.

He quickly went over and asked with concern: "Madam, what's going on?"

"Nothing, just..."

Before Hua Lan could explain, Mo Lan spoke with an aggrieved expression, and jumped directly into Sheng Hong's arms, looking very scared.

She covered her face and sobbed: "Dad...Dad, I didn't mean it just now. The tea the maid poured was too hot, so I accidentally splashed it on my eldest sister~"

"It's okay, Mo'er, don't be afraid!" Sheng Hong subconsciously patted his daughter's back to comfort her.

This time Yuan Jingshi quit, and his childish voice was full of anger when he spoke.

"You are lying. This was intentional. I saw everything just now. It was you who asked the maid to change the hot tea specially~"

"This..." Sheng Hong blinked and looked down at his daughter.

A trace of panic flashed across Mo Lan's expression, because she really did it on purpose. She didn't want this eldest sister to come back and show off her power. She would never admit that she was jealous.

He asked the maid to get a cup of slightly hot tea, just to take the opportunity to pour it on her clothes and teach her a small lesson. Who would have thought that she would suddenly reach out at that moment...
