Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 106 Will you marry my sister?
During dinner in the evening, Hualan told Yuan Wenshao about what she had done to persuade her mother today, with a depressed look on her face.

Yuan Wenshao smiled and said: "Madam, you know that your father-in-law is soft-hearted and not strong-willed, but you have forgotten that your mother-in-law is also a soft-hearted person and not strong-willed. When she is angry, how can she listen to what you tell her? Next time Just wait until her anger subsides and talk to her properly."

What can I say about his mother-in-law? She has no scheming ideas and a soft heart, but she has a bad temper.

Hua Lan was surprised and said, "The official seems to know my mother very well?"

"I can't even speak of understanding. I am an official in the officialdom, so I still have a good eye for people." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Hua Lan thoughtfully said, "Then I will have a good talk with my mother when I see her next time."

"Forget it next time. I have an appointment with Liu Lei tomorrow and will take Chang Wu to meet him. You are fine at home. Send Sister Wen off. Just stay there for a while and chat with the old lady and mother-in-law." Yuan Wenshao said.

"It would be nice if Sister Wen had a maid to accompany her. If I keep going back to my parents' house, people who don't know may think that I have a quarrel with the official." Hua Lan shook his head.

The married daughter often went to the Sheng family during this period, which was somewhat inappropriate.

Moreover, Sister Wen has to go to Sheng's house every day to learn the rules, so she can't follow her every day.

"Ma'am, do you care what other people do? As long as you are happy, you have nothing to do at home, how boring it is."

Women in this era basically stay close to home, but things get better after getting married.

On weekdays, I make appointments to drink tea and listen to music with some official family members who I have a good relationship with.

But since the battle for the crown prince began, Hua Lan was worried about causing trouble for him, so she refused every invitation to listen to music.

Yuan Wenshao was worried that she would be bored at home, but he hoped that she would go out more often.

Hua Lan was very moved when she heard this. She looked at Yuan Wenshao affectionately and said, "Master, you are so kind to me."

"You are my wife, who else can be nice to you if I am not nice to you?" Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Just when Hua Lan was about to say something, he saw that his daughter had stopped eating and looked straight at the two of them. She blushed and gave her some vegetables, saying angrily: "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and eat. "

Sister Wen ignored her mother, but looked at her father and said, "Dad, are you better to me or mother?"

Yuan Wenshao: "..."

Why does this question sound like your mother and I fell into the water together, who do you save first?

Seeing Hua Lan looking at him, Yuan Wenshao said quickly: "You and your mother are both my treasures, so naturally I am equally good to you."

Hua Lan blushed even more when she heard this, but Sister Wen was a little unhappy and said, "No, daddy always calls me little baby, but I heard you call mom big baby. I want to be a big baby too."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

When Hua Lan heard Sister Wen's words, the blush that had just faded reappeared on her face, even worse than before.

Yuan Wenshao was a little embarrassed. Some of the words the couple said while having fun in the boudoir were overheard by their daughter. She must pay more attention in the future.

"Sister Wen, I call your mother darling because she is older than you. In fact, you are equally important to dad. And you can't say these things randomly, you know?" Yuan Wenshao warned.

Sister Wen nodded in understanding.

Hua Lan glared at Yuan Wenshao angrily, then changed the subject and said, "By the way, I heard that Erlang Gu is here today?"

"Ah."

Yuan Wenshao did not hide anything from Hua Lan and told him everything about Gu Tingye and his brother.

Hualan was silent for a while and said: "Official, if one day I am like Mrs. Qin, will you marry my sister?"

Yuan Wenshao: "..."

He didn't know what Hualan was thinking, why he suddenly thought of this problem.

"Madam, Mrs. Qin has been frail and sick since she was a child. You are in good health. You will definitely live a long life and grow old together with me." Yuan Wenshao said.

"I mean what if, what if?" Hua Lan said.

"Even if there is no chance, I will not marry your sister." Yuan Wenshao said.

Hua Lan was very moved when he heard this. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Yuan Wenshao say: "The main reason is that your sister is almost getting haircut, and she is already married at that time. I can't marry her even if I want to."

Hualan: "..."

"Haha, I'm just kidding." Yuan Wenshao put down his chopsticks and said, "Don't think about this mess."

"I'm not thinking wildly." Hua Lan shook her head and said, "I just feel that if Ningyuan Hou Xuxian had not married the Xiao Qin family, the Gu family's elder brother would not have believed him so much."

"People are selfish. Even if Marquis Gu marries someone else, once she has her own son, doesn't she want her son to inherit the title?" Yuan Wenshao said.

"This is different. If Gu Hou marries someone else, the eldest son of the Gu family will definitely be wary of her." Hua Lan shook his head.

"I don't agree with you. The reason why Gu Dalang believes that Xiao Qin is his biological mother's sister, what about Gu Tingye?" Yuan Wenshao shook his head and said: "Gu Tingye has nothing to do with her, so he doesn't trust her very much. It can only be said that Xiao Qin is very capable, but there are not many scheming women like her in the world. If you are worried about your children, you have to live a good life and don't think about something that is not available. "

Hua Lan was startled and said with a smile: "The officials don't say much, but I feel that Lin Xiaoniang's methods are not bad at all."

"Haha, I don't know much about her, so let's not talk about it." Yuan Wenshao changed the subject.

Is Miss Lin clever?

To be honest, it really doesn't count.

The reason why she was able to make trouble was that on the one hand she understood Sheng Hong's temperament and on the other hand Mrs. Wang was a terrible opponent.

If it were a lady with a little bit of skill, it would be very easy to deal with Miss Lin based on Sheng Hong's face-conscious character.

As the saying goes, it's not that our army is too powerful, but that the enemy's army is too incompetent.

……

The next day, as soon as Hua Lan and Sister Wen went out, Sheng Changwu came to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion.

"Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?" Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Chang Wu said a little cautiously: "Go back to the eldest brother-in-law, I've already eaten."

"Why are we still estranged after not seeing each other for several years? Liu Lei and I made an appointment to have wine at Fan Lou at noon. It's still early. Since you have eaten, come with me to the martial arts training ground and let me see how your martial arts is." Yuan Wenshao said .

"Yes." Chang Wu responded.

Yuan Wenshao shook his head and led Chang Wu to the martial arts training ground.

"I've seen Uncle."

Qin Li and a group of soldiers were doing daily exercises. When he saw Yuan Wenshao approaching, he quickly stopped to salute.

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand and said, "You can practice your training and don't worry about me."

Qin Li rubbed his hands and said, "Uncle, are you here to practice martial arts? It's been a long time since I've seen my uncle practice martial arts. Let's have a look."

Yuan Wenshao usually treats them in an easy-going manner. As long as it is not a formal occasion, there are not many rules.

"I'm here to test his martial arts, but if you want to see it, you can come and have a look." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle."

When the soldiers saw Yuan Wenshao agreeing, they shouted loudly and followed him.

Yuan Wenshao led Chang Wu to the weapons rack and said, "Pick a weapon and let me see your martial arts skills."

Chang Wu picked a long gun on the weapons rack.

Yuan Wenshao was a little surprised. As the saying goes, a stick and a sword will last a lifetime.It’s not that guns are difficult to practice. Most of the long weapons used by ordinary soldiers in the army are spears and spears.

Rather, it is said that guns are complex and changeable, and it is difficult to master them.Yuan Wenshao himself also practiced shooting, but his shooting skills can only be said to be pretty good, not very good.

Chang Wu took a few steps back, took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and began to practice his marksmanship.

His marksmanship was very familiar to Yuan Wenshao. It was the marksmanship commonly used by low-level generals in the army. Because it was widely circulated, it was not unusual.

This is normal. Although Dafang is rich, it is not easy to hire martial arts masters with superb martial arts skills.

It can be seen that Chang Wu has worked hard over the years, and every move is precise and orderly.

After he finished a set of marksmanship, Yuan Wenshao said with a smile: "It's very good. I don't know how it will be against the enemy. How about I find someone to compare with you?"

"Okay." Chang Wu nodded.

Yuan Wenshao looked at Qin Li and said with a smile: "Compare with him."

"Yes!"

Qin Li responded, chose a long knife, and came to the opposite side of Chang Wu.

"The competition is over, don't get hurt, let's start." Yuan Wenshao said calmly.

"Yes!"

The two of them responded and looked at each other intently.

"Be careful."

Qin Li reminded him, stepped forward quickly, and slashed with his sword.

Chang Wu swung the sword away with one shot, and forced Qin Li back with a sweeping sweep.

Qin Li dodged the spear and attacked again, and the two started fighting back and forth.

Yuan Wenshao watched the two fight and had a general understanding of Chang Wu's martial arts.

His foundation was not bad, but he was worried about hurting Qin Li during the fight, so he was a little restrained, and it didn't take long for him to fall into the lower grades.

It is obvious that the actual combat ability is insufficient.

After all, Qin Li had been on the battlefield and seen blood. His offensive was very fierce. After more than 30 rounds of fighting, Chang Wu's spear was knocked away and he was defeated.

Chang Wu felt a little embarrassed that he had been defeated in dozens of rounds. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yuan Wenshao.

"Do you feel aggrieved? It was clearly a sparring match, but Qin Li didn't show any sign of holding back. If you weren't afraid of hurting him, you wouldn't have lost so quickly?" Yuan Wenshao said.

"I…"

Chang Wu opened his mouth. This was exactly what he was thinking, but he felt that saying so was a bit quibbling.

"Qin Li has already held back. If it's a life-and-death fight, he can kill you in less than one round. The reason why you are restrained is because you are not confident in your own strength, and Qin Li's aggressive offensive is because He is confident that he will be able to stop you when you can't resist him." Yuan Wenshao said calmly.

Chang Wu didn't believe it when he heard this, but he didn't dare to refute Yuan Wenshao.

Yuan Wenshao shook his head, pointed at a soldier casually, and said, "Come and fight him."

"Yes!" The soldier responded and came to the field.

"Pick up the gun and continue." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Yes."

Changwu picked up the gun and started fighting with the soldiers.

After fifty rounds, he lost again.

"Qin Li is one of the captains of the soldiers. This time he is just an ordinary soldier." Yuan Wenshao said.

Chang Wu was a little discouraged. He had been practicing martial arts for five or six years, and even the martial arts master who taught him was no match for him. He always felt that his martial arts skills were good and he was a little proud.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't even defeat an ordinary soldier of Yuan Wenshao.

When Yuan Wenshao saw his appearance, he secretly thought, "Don't overdo it and collapse."

"Actually, your martial arts skills are not bad, you just lack actual combat experience. Just fight more people to increase your experience. In the future, when you are not on duty, you can come to my house and fight more with Qin Li and the others." Yuan Wenshao said.

Yuan Wenshao did this because he wanted Changwu to grow up as quickly as possible.

Changwu is a very important part of his future plans.

After hearing this, Chang Wu regained his confidence and said, "Thank you, elder brother-in-law, for your teachings."

Yuan Wenshao breathed a sigh of relief, pointed out some shortcomings in his marksmanship, rested for a while, and allowed him to continue fighting against others.

Chang Wu's martial arts skills were no worse than those of his own soldiers, but he lacked experience. With Yuan Wenshao's guidance and constant battle practice, ordinary soldiers could no longer defeat him.

"Okay, that's it for today. It's almost time. Go wash up and follow me to Fan Lou for the banquet." Yuan Wenshao said.

He asked his servants to take Chang Wu down to wash up. He returned to the backyard, washed his face, changed his clothes, and then took Chang Wu to Fanlou.

……

"Haha, we haven't gotten together for a long time since Polu returned to the northwest." Liu Lei said with a smile.

Polu is Sun Hao's name. His mother fell ill a few months ago and he took his wife and children to visit Dingzhou.

"It's not that you are busy, I have plenty of time."

After a few words of greeting, Yuan Wenshao introduced: "This is my wife's cousin Sheng Changwu."

"Changwu, this is the third son of Marquis Zhongjing, who is now the commander of the Central City of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."

"I've met Commander Liu." Chang Wu saluted.

"Hey." Liu Lei waved his hand and said: "You are Erlang's brother-in-law, and you are my brother. When my son marries his daughter in the future, we will also be relatives, so there is no need to be so polite. Just call me Brother Liu San in private. ”

"Liu Sanlang, how many times have I told you not to hit my daughter's attention. Your son will probably be as ugly as you when he grows up, and my daughter will look down on him." Yuan Wenshao scolded with a smile.

"What's so ugly about me?" Liu Lei said dissatisfied: "You shouldn't agree to Polu, right?"

"I'm just kidding, his son is more than a year younger than my daughter, how is that possible? I will not book a baby wedding for my daughter. When she grows up, I will let her choose by herself." Yuan Wenshao said.

Ever since his daughter was born, Liu Lei had been clamoring to become his in-laws.

Later, Sun Hao's wife gave birth to a son and joined in.

"You." Liu Lei shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Maybe they will see each other in the future? I can arrange for your wife and brother, but at most I can only arrange for a prince."

"No, he's still young. Let him start from scratch. Just take care of him and don't let him be bullied." Yuan Wenshao said.

Lord Bianjing is everywhere, but apart from the eldest son inheriting the title, there are only a few who can be granted the title.

After all, most of those noble families have seven or eight children, and more than a dozen are normal.

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is not a fat one, but the bastards of the Lord's House are still good at it. There are too many people staring at it.

There are many people who beg Liu Lei. If Liu Lei helps him, he will definitely offend many people.

Yuan Wenshao didn't want it to be difficult for him.

"Thank you Erlang for your understanding, but let's just start from scratch. It's okay if I assign him a team leader." Liu Lei also understood what Yuan Wenshao meant and didn't insist.
