Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 102 Minglan disciplines his younger brother (please subscribe)

After Sheng Hong left, the old lady saw that Minglan and her brother were in a bad mood, so she asked them to go back and rest.

After walking out of the hall for a while, Chang Lin said: "Sister, when I gain fame in the future, I will take you and your grandmother away, so you don't have to stay here to suffer."

"shut up!"

Minglan's expression changed, she glared at her brother and said, "Go to my room and talk."

Minglan said nothing along the way. After entering the room, she asked Xiaotao to guard outside. Then she looked at Changlin and said, "Kneel down."

"Sister, I..."

"If you still recognize me as your sister, kneel down. If you don't listen, you will pretend that I don't have this sister in the future." Minglan said calmly.

After all, Chang Lin was a child over six years old. He was frightened when he heard Minglan's words. He quickly knelt down and said, "Sister, I just listen to you. Don't be angry."

Minglan looked at her brother's expression and felt a little distressed. Her face softened a lot and asked, "Do you hate dad very much?"

"He's not my father!" Chang Lin retorted, holding his head high.

"Yes, in terms of clan etiquette, he is indeed not your father, but in terms of blood, he is your father," Minglan said.

"I don't have a father like this. He ignored me and even killed my mother. I won't forgive him." Chang Lin said bitterly.

Minglan's expression changed when she heard this: "Who told you this?"

Minglan never told Chang Lin about her mother's death.

But now Chang Lin thinks that Sheng Hong killed his mother.

Even if someone told Chang Lin about what happened back then, he should still bear grudge against Lin Xiaoniang.

Minglan wondered if someone wanted to harm Chang Lin and deliberately let people say this in front of him.

Once the seeds of hatred sprout, Chang Lin will do something unwise...

Minglan shuddered at the thought of this possibility.

When Chang Lin saw his sister being angry, he didn't dare to hide it and said, "I overheard two servants in the house saying that I was an unknown person, so he disowned me and adopted me. When my mother gave birth to me, he didn’t want me, and if he didn’t call a doctor for my mother, my mother would die in childbirth.”

Minglan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Judging from Chang Lin's narration, it didn't seem like someone was behind it.

If someone really instigated it, the story would have been more detailed.

Many servants who knew better back then were betrayed. It was normal for the servants to make random guesses without knowing the situation.

"Chang Lin, my mother's death had nothing to do with my father," Minglan said.

"I don't believe it, otherwise why would he ignore me and adopt me out?" Chang Lin's eyes were full of hatred.

Ming Lan was silent when she heard this. She now understood that the reason why Chang Lin hated his father was because he longed for his father's love, but Sheng Hong did not give him all this.

The reason why he easily believed what his servants said was because he hated Sheng Hong, so he was willing to believe it.

Once upon a time, like Chang Lin, she longed for her father's love.

Her mother always told her not to be the best. In fact, she just wanted to attract her father's attention and get his love.

After her mother passed away, she also longed for her father's comfort and love.

However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Now she no longer has expectations for Sheng Hong.

Pulling her brother up from the ground, Minglan squatted down, looked into his eyes and said, "My mother's death has nothing to do with my father. The reason why he ignored you was just because he didn't like you. But you still have a sister." And grandma, just treat him as your second uncle, don’t have expectations, and don’t hold grudges. Do you understand?”

Chang Lin nodded in understanding and said, "Sister, I understand."

"Good boy, go back to sleep." Minglan rubbed his head.

"Sister, I'm going back then." Chang Lin bowed and retreated.

……

In the morning, after Yuan Wenshao finished practicing martial arts, his family was having dinner, and his servants came to report Gu Tingye's visit.

Asking people to be invited to the front hall, Yuan Wenshao changed his clothes and came to the front hall.

"Zhong Huai, shouldn't you go to school today to study?"

As Yuan Wenshao was talking, he noticed that something was wrong with Gu Tingye's face, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? I think you seem to be injured."

"Haha." Gu Tingye laughed at himself and said, "I'm used to being beaten by my father. It's no big deal."

"Although you were a bit of a prodigal in the past, you have been at Bailudong Academy in the past few years, and you have not gone to hook up the house after you came back. Recently, there are rumors in Bianjing City that you have turned around. Why did your father beat you? Could it be your outhouse? Has it been discovered?" Yuan Wenshao asked strangely.

"Even you, an outsider, know that after I returned to Bianjing, I concentrated on preparing for the exam and have never been to that kind of place. But my father didn't believe me." Gu Tingye laughed at himself.

"what happened?"

Yuan Wenshao's heart was moved. Could it be that Mrs. Qin had done something wrong?
"Haha, today..."

After Gu Tingye's narration, Yuan Wenshao roughly knew what happened.

Early this morning, when he was about to leave for school, his father called him to the front hall.

It turned out that several well-known brothels in Bianjing came to ask for debts, saying that he had not paid back the debts he had at the brothels.

These accounts were all registered in his name by several cousins ​​living in the fourth and fifth houses.

This little money is nothing to Gu Tingye.

He was angry because his father didn't believe him at all and scolded him indiscriminately.

Gu Tingye was so angry that he asked about his mother's affairs.

Unexpectedly, when Gu Yankai found out, he was furious and had people beat him dozens of times.

If he hadn't been practicing martial arts since childhood and had a good body, he would probably have to lie on the bed to recover from his injuries.

After coming out of home, Gu Tingye became more and more angry and wanted to talk to someone, so he asked Shitou to go to Sheng's house to ask for leave from Zhuang Xuexue, and he came to Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

After hearing this, Yuan Wenshao didn't know how to comfort him.

Gu Yankai still cared about his son, which could be seen from the arrangements he made before his death.

The reason why he has such a bad attitude towards Gu Tingye has a lot to do with the fact that Gu Tingye was really naughty in his early years, and he was deceived by the Xiao Qin family.

Gu Tingye probably just wanted to find someone to talk to, so he told him all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

Yuan Wenshao just acted as a qualified listener and did not talk too much.

Gu Tingye stayed at Yuan's house until nearly noon before leaving.

Yuan Wenshao shook his head and returned to the backyard.

"Official, what were you and Gu Erlang talking about? We have been talking for so long?" Hua Lan asked doubtfully.

"I didn't say anything, I just listened to his complaints." Yuan Wenshao explained the matter simply.

"Actually, this cannot be blamed on Gu Hou. Gu Erlang was indeed a dissolute man before. Although he has changed now, it is difficult for people to trust him for a while. I heard that if Mrs. Gu Hou had not intervened, the father and son would have turned against each other long ago." Hua Lan sighed.

Some news in Bianjing spread very quickly, and the Gu family's affairs were not a secret. Hua Lan also heard about it to some extent.

"Do you think Mrs. Gu Hou is really as virtuous as people say? If you encounter her in the future, be more careful." Yuan Wenshao reminded.

"Are you saying that Mrs. Gu Hou is all faking?" Hua Lan said in disbelief: "No way?" "Haha, you can't just take everything at face value. How did Xiao Qin's reputation come from? Because of her love for Gu Tingye Treating him as his own is better than treating his own son. You are also a mother, do you think it is possible?" Yuan Wenshao smiled.

"This…"

Hua Lan wanted to say that she could do it too, but she opened her mouth and still didn't say anything.

Ask yourself, she cannot be like Xiao Qin.

"Don't feel embarrassed. People are selfish. Xiao Qin is just flattering and scheming." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Then what's her purpose for doing this?" Hualan said.

She still didn't believe it.

In fact, this is the role of reputation. Gu Tingye's reputation as a promiscuous person is well-known in Bianjing. Even if there is a change now, few would believe it.

And Xiao Qin has always had a reputation as a virtuous person, but if someone suddenly said something bad about her, it would be hard to believe.

"Think about what she does for that?" Yuan Wenshao laughed.

Hua Lan thought about it carefully and said with some uncertainty: "Is it for the title?"

"Haha, my wife is really smart." Yuan Wenshao praised.

"But I heard that although the eldest son of the Gu family is in poor health, he also has a daughter who is about the same age as Sister Wen. Who can guarantee that he will not have a son in the future?" Hualan said.

"Everything depends on man and God. If we wait until the eldest son of the Gu family fails to make plans, it will be too late." Yuan Wenshao shook his head and said, "Okay, these are none of our business. Let Gu Tingye go have a headache. "

However, Yuan Wenshao thought of things too simply. Just when he took a rest after eating and was about to take a nap, a servant came to report that Gu Tingyu, the eldest son of Ningyuan Houfu, asked to see him.

Yuan Wenshao thought he heard it wrong at first, but after confirming it, it was indeed not Gu Tingye but Gu Tingyu.

Gu Tingyu was frail and sick and rarely went out. The two of them had never met each other. He really couldn't figure out why Gu Tingyu came suddenly.

After thinking about it, it was probably because of Gu Tingye.

Yuan Wenshao asked someone to invite him to the front hall, put on his clothes and came to the front hall.

"I've met Uncle Zhongyong." Gu Tingyu cupped his hands and said.

"Young Master Gu, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down."

Yuan Wenshao took a look at Gu Tingyu. He was thin and sallow, but he behaved well and spoke very politely, which made him feel good.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhongyong."

"I wonder what's going on when Mr. Gu suddenly comes to visit?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

Gu Tingyu cupped his hands and said, "I'm not afraid of uncle's jokes. My brother-in-law and my father had some conflicts and he never came home. I sent someone to inquire. My brother-in-law came to see my uncle and wanted to ask him about his whereabouts." .”

"Zhong Huai did come here, but he left an hour ago. I don't know where he is now," Yuan Wenshao said.

"Thank you uncle for informing me. In that case, I will take my leave." Gu Tingyu said with cupped hands.

"Master Gu, walk slowly."

Yuan Wenshao sent the man to the door of the house and watched him get on the carriage and leave, feeling confused.

He originally thought that Gu Tingyu came here for some purpose, but he just asked about Gu Tingye's whereabouts, and left without doubting his answer, leaving people unpredictable.

Shaking his head, Yuan Wenshao was too lazy to think about it.

……

In early December, Sheng Wei arrived in Bianjing with his second son Changwu.

The Sheng family sent someone to invite Yuan Wenshao and Hualan to the Sheng family for a banquet.

When Yuan Wenshao arrived with Hua Lan and Sister Wen, Sheng Wei and Chang Wu were chatting with the old lady in Shou'an Hall.

"I have met my grandmother, father-in-law and mother-in-law, and uncle." Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan saluted one by one.

"No need to be polite, just take a seat." The old lady smiled.

"Sister Wen has grown so big, do you still remember your great grandfather?" Sheng Wei said with a smile.

"Remember, what gift did my grandfather bring me this time?" Sister Wen asked.

"Sister Wen?" Hua Lan glared at her, then looked at Sheng Wei and said, "Uncle, don't mind, I didn't teach you well."

"What are you talking about? What does a child know? Besides, what's wrong with my great grandfather giving her some gifts?"

Sheng Wei waved his hand, looked at Sister Wen and smiled: "Grandpa has brought you a good thing this time. Come and get it."

As he spoke, he took out a purse and took out a jade pendant.

The jade pendant is not big, and is carved into a Buddha statue, but the material is made of fine mutton-fat white jade.

Generally, jade like this is a tribute, rarely seen among the people, and is worth thousands of gold.

Sheng Wei had given San Lan a nice gift before, but when she saw the gift given to Sister Wen, Mo Lan gritted her teeth and felt very confident.

"Uncle, this is too expensive." Yuan Wenshao refused.

Although he was not short of money, he was embarrassed to accept such a valuable thing.

Sheng Wei said displeasedly: "Could it be that Erlang looks down on me?"

"What did uncle say? I..."

"That's enough, Sister Wen, come here."

Sheng Wei interrupted Yuan Wenshao and waved to Sister Wen.

Sister Wen looked at her father and saw that he nodded, then stepped forward to take it and saluted, "Thank you, great grandfather."

"Haha, no need to be polite." Sheng Wei laughed.

The reason why he gave Sister Wen such a heavy gift was because Yuan Wenshao helped him a lot.

After the glass was produced, because Yuan Wenshao deliberately controlled the output, the supply was in short supply in Bianjingdu alone and could not be supplied to other places.

But Yuan Wenshao gave Sheng Wei a share and asked him to sell it in Jiangnan.

Although the number is not large, it has also allowed him to form a lot of connections in Jiangnan.

Moreover, this time Chang Wu will have to rely on Yuan Wenshao’s help.

Although Mrs. Sheng had just told him that in order to avoid Yuan Wenshao's difficulty, she only asked him to arrange for Chang Wu to march into the army and entrust someone to take care of him, and not to arrange an official position.

But Sheng Wei didn't mind. The most important thing in officialdom is connections.

Yuan Wenshao helped arrange the march, and others would give Yuan Wenshao some face, so that he would not be embarrassed, and his chances of promotion would be greater.

Otherwise, if Chang Wu wants to join the army, why should he ask Yuan Wenshao for help if he can't join the army?

Yuan Wenshao probably understood what Sheng Wei was thinking. He looked at Chang Wu who was standing behind Sheng Wei and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Chang Wu has grown up too. He looks much stronger. I think he has practiced martial arts well."

"Hehe." Chang Wu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I am definitely no match for my eldest brother-in-law."

Yuan Wenshao smiled and said: "How old are you? You will make progress if you work hard and practice. I want to arrange for you to join the Five City Army and Horse Division. It just so happens that a friend of mine is now the commander of the Inner City Army and Horse Division. You go He can also take care of one or two."
