Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 161 Return to Youyang (please subscribe)

Zhao Ceying didn't know what Yuan Wenshao was thinking, so she thought he was being polite and invited her again and again.

"I really can't spare any time now. I'm leaving Beijing this time to attend a wedding banquet, so I can't delay it." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Dalang, since Uncle Yuan doesn't have time, forget it. Just write down the kindness. There will always be a chance to repay the kindness in the future." Shen Congxing said.

"That's right, if you come to Bianjing in the future, come and find me. But don't always talk about repaying a favor or not, otherwise don't blame me for not knowing you." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Shen Congxing and Zhao Ceying smiled when they heard this, and had a lot of good impressions of Yuan Wenshao in their hearts.

Now Shen Congxing is just the commander of the fifth rank, and Zhao Ceying is just the son of a training envoy. Although they are from the clan, they are from the lineage of Taizu and are not welcome.

Yuan Wenshao was an earl and had a higher official position than them. Not only did he save them, he was also very easy-going.

"Master, the tiger skin and tiger bones have been processed." Zhang An came over and said.

Tiger meat tastes bad, so they naturally won't eat it given their status. In addition, the most valuable parts of a tiger are its skin and bones.

Tiger skin is very good at keeping warm. It is an exaggeration to say that it is worth thousands of gold. After all, there were quite a lot of tigers in ancient times. Many local chronicles show that tigers were overpopulated and local governments organized government officials to hunt down tigers.

But a tiger skin is still worth a thousand taels of silver.

"It's a pity that it's a female tiger. If it were a male tiger, the tiger's whip would not be used to soak the wine. The effect would be very good." Shen Congxing said and gave Yuan Wenshao a look that you know.

Yuan Wenshao joked: "I didn't expect that Brother Shen would need this thing at such a young age. If I hunt a male tiger in the future, I will definitely give it to Brother Shen."

"I am a dragon and a tiger. I don't need this. It's just that the tiger whip wine is stronger after drinking it. I will know it after I try it."

A man will never admit that he is not good enough.

"Haha, I would like to try it if I have the chance."

Yuan Wenshao was also a little curious. He had heard that this thing was very effective. Although he was very strong, no man would want to wait longer.

He had never tried this thing in his entire life.

"Uncle, wasn't the one we hunted before a male? The body should still be there. Send someone to retrieve it, remove the tiger whip and give it to uncle." Zhao Ceying said.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this."

Shen Congxing patted his forehead and quickly ordered people to go back and retrieve the tiger carcass that he had hunted before.

"No, this is too expensive." Yuan Wenshao shook his head.

"It's just a tiger whip. Is it not as good as my uncle's life-saving grace? If my uncle doesn't accept it, he will be looking down on my uncle and me." Zhao Ceying said.

"Yes, uncle, just accept it. It's not difficult to get this thing, and the tiger is still underage, so it's not very precious." Shen Congxing said.

"In that case, I will be disrespectful. I will give the skin of the tiger I shot to my elders to keep out the cold. There are more tiger bones, so I will give it to you." Yuan Wenshao said.

Tiger bones have a very good effect in strengthening the muscles and bones, and are of great value, so they can be considered as a return gift.

Seeing that the two wanted to refuse, Yuan Wenshao said: "If you don't accept it, then I won't want the tiger whip either."

"In that case, we're not welcome." Shen Congxing said with a smile.

"As it should be."

Yuan Wenshao smelled the aroma of meat and said with a smile: "No more talking, the meat is almost roasted, let's drink some together."

"it is good."

The three of them sat in front of the fire, ate wine and meat, and talked.

"Uncle..."

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand and said, "I call you Brother Shen. You talk like an uncle and don't talk about an uncle. Do you think you are looking down on me?"

"Then I'll ask you to call me brother Yuan." Shen Congxing is also a good-natured person and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the Bai family in Bianjing?"

"The Bai family?" Yuan Wenshao frowned and thought for a while, then said: "There is no famous family named Bai in Bianjing. I only remember that there seems to be an official named Bai in the Ministry of Rites. I wonder if it is the Bai family you mentioned."

Shen Cong and the others looked at each other and Zhao Ceying and said, "This should be the family. Let me tell you, this Bai family is the worst. The eldest brother and stepmother plotted against the second son, so that the second son couldn't even attend his father's funeral. It's really not true. thing."

Yuan Wenshao was startled, why did this story sound so familiar to him.

"Are you talking about Bai Ye?"

If he remembered correctly, this was the trumpet that Gu Tingye used to travel around the world.

"Yes. Do you know me uncle?" Zhao Ceying asked.

"Haha, I think we know each other. We have met a few times." Yuan Wenshao asked, "How do you know each other?"

"A few years ago, my father wiped out a group of bandits. Unexpectedly, the son of the leader of the group of bandits escaped. Not long ago, my father and I went out and were ambushed by them. We didn't have many guards with us at the time, and we almost died at his hands. Well, Only after Brother Bai came to the rescue did my father and son survive," Zhao Ceying said.

Yuan Wenshao lamented that Gu Tingye was worthy of being the protagonist. He left Beijing later than in the original drama, but he still saved Zhao Zongquan and his son by chance.

"Zhong Huai is so pitiful. Not only was he plotted against by his eldest brother and his mother-in-law, he was also plotted against by an outsider. He is looking for someone all over the world." Shen Congxing shook his head.

"I wonder where Bai Ye is now?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"He was going to Jiangnan to look for someone, so my father wrote him a letter of recommendation and asked him to join the army. I don't know whether he went or not," Zhao Ceying said.

"Stop talking about this, come and drink." Yuan Wenshao raised the wine bag and said.

"Come, drink."

Because they were in the wild, the three of them did not dare to get drunk.

When he was [-]% drunk, Yuan Wenshao stopped.Shen Congxing felt that it was a bit unsatisfactory, and even said that if there was a chance in the future, he would get drunk and stop.

When they parted, Shen Congxing also specially taught Zhang An how to handle the tiger whip.

Because Yuan Wenshao was going to Jinling, it was not convenient to make wine at this time, so he could only dry it and make wine in Bianjing later.

"Brother Shen, Dalang, take care." Yuan Wenshao cupped his hands and said.

"Take care of yourself."

The two of them returned the favor and watched Yuan Wenshao go away.

It wasn't until Yuan Wenshao disappeared that Zhao Ceying looked back and said, "What does uncle think of Uncle Yuan?"

"Brother Yuan is an earl and has no airs. He is very angry with me." Shen Congxing said.

"That's not what I'm talking about. My uncle should also know about the situation in Bianjing. Judging from the news, the official family should also have made a decision. It's a bit intriguing that my uncle is leaving Beijing at this time." Zhao Ceying said wisely.

"No matter what brother Yuan has planned, it has little to do with us. You should think about how to face my eldest sister and brother-in-law when you go back." Shen Congxing patted Zhao Ceying on the shoulder and said.

Zhao Ceying's face turned bitter when he heard this. The last time he was ambushed, his parents did not allow him to leave the city.

Yuzhou is a small state, and the city is not big. He has lived in Yuzhou for many years, so he naturally feels bored there.

Today he couldn't stay any longer, so he slipped out of the house and pestered Shen Congxing to go hunting together.

If you are not in danger, you will at most be scolded a few times when you go back. Now that several guards have died, there is no way to hide it.

……

"My lord, you are finally back. I was so worried." As soon as Hua Lan received Yuan Wenshao's return, he hurriedly came out to greet him.

"I can't make my wife worry anymore." In order to prevent Hua Lan from talking too much, Yuan Wenshao admitted his mistake and changed the subject: "How are my grandmother and sixth sister?"

Hua Lan rolled her eyes at him and did not dwell on the issue. She said, "Grandma has been recovering for two days, and Minglan's complexion has also improved a lot. Grandma wants to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, just wait one more day. I hunted a tiger today and will find someone to process the tiger skin tomorrow and give it to my grandmother." Yuan Wenshao said.

……

Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived at Tongzhou Pier on November [-]th.

As soon as they landed, before the things were unloaded, Changsong came with someone to greet them.

"Changsong pays homage to his second grandmother."

The old lady hurriedly stepped forward to help Changsong up and said, "Didn't we send someone with a message in advance to say that we would arrive a few days later? How did you know that we arrived today?"

"Going back to my second grandmother, my grandmother told me to come to Tongzhou Pier early and wait. After I arrived, I stayed at a nearby inn and sent someone to keep an eye on the pier. When my servants saw the ship docking, they notified me. Grandma, she learned that you She is in poor health and anxious. If her father hadn't stopped her, she would have come here to wait in person." Changsong said.

"Is it possible that her body is stronger than mine? She just knows how to torment children." The old lady's eyes were slightly red after hearing this, and she said while wiping her tears with her head.

"Grandma, it's windy here. Let's get in the car. If you have anything to say, talk to grandma when you get home." Hua Lan smiled.

"Yes, I will talk to her again when I get back," the old lady said.

……

When they arrived at Youyang's hometown, the old lady got off the carriage and saw the eldest lady coming out. She didn't bother to talk to her. The two sisters-in-law held hands and started crying excitedly.

"Mom, Second Aunt, it's windy outside, it's better to go inside first and have a cup of hot tea." Sheng Wei was worried that the two old ladies would break down from crying, so he quickly advised.

"Yes, yes, let's go in." The eldest old lady pulled the old lady and was about to go in. Suddenly she stopped, looked at Sister Wen who was being held by Hua Lan, and said, "Is this Sister Wen?"

"That's right, Grandma."

Hua Lan pulled Sister Wen forward and said, "Sister Wen, please salute your great grandmother."

"Meet Grandma." Sister Wen saluted.

"Okay, okay, that's weird. Come to Grandma quickly." The old lady smiled.

Sister Wen was not afraid of life, so she walked over after hearing this.

The eldest lady took off a bracelet from her hand and said with a smile: "Last time Hua Lan came back, you were still in the belly, and you grew so big in a blink of an eye. This is a gift from grandma to you, take it quickly."

Sister Wen looked back at her mother and accepted it when she nodded. She said crisply: "Thank you, grandma."

"How sensible." The old lady smiled.

"You old thing is really good at calculating. Now you are giving my great-granddaughter such an expensive gift. If I am stingy with the gift I will give to Shulan's child later, how can I get it?" the old lady laughed and scolded.

Shulan gave birth to a son, who is only more than four months old now. He is still young and cannot see the wind. She takes care of the child in the house and does not come out to greet him.

"Haha, don't blame me for that." The old lady smiled and pulled Sister Wen inside.

"Minglan, I haven't seen you in a few years, and you are getting more and more beautiful." Pinlan followed behind, pulling Minglan and whispering.

"Haha, you are beautiful too." Minglan smiled.

"No way, my mother always calls me a wild girl. But why are you so thin?" Pinlan said a little surprised.

"I just get seasick and have a bad appetite. I'll put on some meat after just a few days." Minglan said with a smile.

During this time, after the old lady's guidance, she has come out and her whole person has become a lot more cheerful.

She did not regret her willfulness this time, but she would never be willful again.
