Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 164 News from Bianjing (please subscribe)
Changwu returned to Youyang in the afternoon of the day before the wedding.

When he came back, he came back with the boat that picked up the bride.

It's just that the bride has to stay in the inn for the time being and can't be picked up until the wedding tomorrow.

When Chang Wu returned home, he first met with his elders, chatted with them for a while, and then called Yuan Wenshao aside.

"Eldest brother-in-law, when I came back from Bianjing, the official family had already made King Yong the governor of Kaifeng." Chang Wu said.

"I already know this news." Yuan Wenshao nodded.

He had a backup plan in Bianjing and received the news two days ago.

Although the official family did not officially issue a decree to confer King Yong as the crown prince, there is no difference between making King Yong the governor of Kaifeng and canonizing him.

Apart from officials with foreign surnames, only princes can hold the position of Kaifeng Prefecture Yin.

The official's intention to appoint King Yong as the governor of Kaifeng was already obvious.

"Eldest brother-in-law, the officials in Bianjing are now showing their favor to King Yong. After I get married tomorrow, you should go back as soon as possible." Chang Wu said.

Yuan Wenshao shook his head and said: "This matter is not urgent. Is there anything unusual in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?"

"I didn't find anything unusual." Chang Wu said.

Yuan Wenshao pondered for a while and asked, "What is Liu Lei busy with recently?"

"I don't know exactly what Commander Liu is busy with, but he rarely came to the yamen of the Military and Horse Department in Zhongcheng a few days before I took leave. I heard that Commander Liu often entertains officials, as if he wants to have some activities and get closer. ." Chang Wu said.

Yuan Wenshao nodded and said, "I understand, don't think too much, just be a good groom."

"Yes." Chang Wu nodded, looking a little confused.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to say?" Yuan Wenshao asked doubtfully.

"No...no." Chang Wu lowered his head in embarrassment.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. You are about to get married, so what about your mother-in-law and mother-in-law? Could it be that you have a wife in Bianjing?" Yuan Wenshao teased.

"No, no, no, how dare I." Chang Wu shook his head in fear.

"You're just kidding. Tell me what's going on." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Brother-in-law, after I get married, the wife should be at home and honor her parents-in-law. I only have one month off, and I will definitely not be back during the Chinese New Year. I will probably have to wait until the Chinese New Year next year to come back. I want to take my wife back with me. Bianjing, I'm afraid my parents won't agree, so I want to ask my eldest brother-in-law to help intercede." Chang Wu said with a blushing face.

Yuan Wenshao smiled and patted Chang Wu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Have you met the Kang family girl?"

"Yeah." Chang Wu nodded sheepishly.

Although he came back with the ship where the Kang family sent their relatives off, they were not on the same ship.

However, the journey was so long and there was nothing going on on the boat, so it was natural to go out and see the scenery.

Chang Wu saw Kang Yun'er from a distance several times.

Although Aunt Kang was not a good person, her daughter was quite beautiful, and Chang Wu fell in love with her at first sight.

However, when they thought about getting married, the two of them would have to live in two different places, which made them very entangled.Then I thought about asking Yuan Wenshao to help me intercede.

"You won't do anything to that girl, right? Let me tell you, although the Kang family girl is your future wife, she hasn't married her yet. If word gets out, my uncle will probably break your legs. "Yuan Wenshao saw that Changwu was shy, so he thought of teasing him.

"No...no, absolutely not. How dare I mess around before we get married." Chang Wu said with a blushing face.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile: "Uncle bought you a house in Bianjing before he came back. He had no intention of being that evil person, so there was no need for me to intercede."

"Really?" Chang Wu said in surprise.

"Really. But the eldest aunt should give the Kang girl a beating, so don't tell her yet." Yuan Wenshao warned.

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand, thank you, brother-in-law." Chang Wu nodded repeatedly.

……

"Officer, what's wrong with you? I see that you are always absent-minded. Is something wrong?"

Hualan took off her headdress and saw Yuan Wenshao sitting on the bed in a daze, and asked with some confusion.

"What can happen? I was just thinking about something." Yuan Wenshao came back to his senses and smiled.

"Then let's take a rest. We have to get up early tomorrow." Hua Lan said.

"Ah."

The two of them went to sleep on the couch, and the maid blew out the lamp and went out.

Yuan Wenshao held Hua Lan with one hand and put the other behind his head, staring.

The official family has already made King Yong the governor of Kaifeng, and it is not far from King Yan's rebellion.

Seeing the big changes coming, Yuan Wenshao felt somewhat worried.

He doesn't know if everything will develop according to the original plot. If there is a slight mistake, it may be another ending.

At this moment, he felt Hua Lan move and moved his hand towards him.

"Didn't you say you wanted to get up early tomorrow?" Yuan Wenshao grabbed her hand and smiled.

Hua Lan blushed and whispered, "It's not far behind."

Yuan Wenshao turned over and said angrily: "Who is waiting for a while? Don't beg for mercy."

"Hmm~"

Just as Hua Lan wanted to speak, her mouth was blocked.

……

When she woke up the next morning, Hua Lan's face was red and she didn't dare to look at Yuan Wenshao.

Yuan Wenshao wanted to make a joke, but after thinking about it, he decided not to offend Hua Lan. This kind of benefit would no longer exist in the future.

The Sheng family has a large and wealthy family, so the wedding will naturally not be shabby.

The ancestral house was decorated from top to bottom, and even the servants and maids put on new clothes.

There were loud gongs and drums early in the morning, and there was an endless stream of people coming to attend the wedding banquet.

Yuan Wenshao didn't have to greet him at the door, but some of Youyang's well-known guests came to pay him a visit.

Throughout the morning, his face froze with laughter, and he felt much more tired than when he and Chang Bai got married.

Near dusk, Changbai came back wearing a red wedding robe, riding a tall white horse, followed by a wedding sedan and a dowry, with a smile on his face.

"Second brother is so hopeless. Look at his smile, the corners of his mouth are grinning to the back of his ears." Pinlan pulled Minglan to watch the fun behind the crowd. When she saw Changwu with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but Zhu said.

"How can anyone talk about my brother like that? Brother Changwu is getting married today. It's hard not to laugh but cry." Minglan rolled her eyes at her and told her not to talk nonsense.Chang Wu got off his horse, and the bride, who was wearing a green wedding robe and a fan covering her face, was embraced by everyone and walked in.

Pinlan still wanted to follow her to watch the fun, but Minglan quickly stopped her and said, "Sister Pinlan, the outer courtyard is full of foreigners, let's go back to the back hall."

It's not easy to show off to the girl's house, let alone go to watch the ceremony, even the front yard is inconvenient.

They could watch the excitement at the door, but they also sneaked over and hid behind the crowd to watch.

It would be bad if someone discovered him if he followed him to the front yard.

"It's so troublesome to be a girl. It doesn't work for one thing or another." Pinlan curled her lips unhappily.

"Then you tell cousin Taisheng to marry you quickly, so that you can follow and watch the fun." Minglan joked.

"Okay Sheng Minglan, how dare you tease me, let's see how I deal with you."

Pinlan wanted to catch Minglan with all her teeth and claws.

At this moment, a maid came over in a hurry.

"Girl, I finally found you." The maid saluted and said, "The eldest lady asked the girl to go to the back hall to chat with the old lady and the female relatives."

Mrs. Li knew Pinlan's character and was worried that she might act recklessly, so she sent her maids to look for her everywhere.

"Are all the ladies from the third room here?" Pinlan asked with a slight frown.

"They are all here, even Aunt Xiulan and Aunt Yuelan from neighboring counties are here." The maid smiled.

"Then I won't go." Upon hearing this, Pinlan's face darkened.

When the maid heard this, she became anxious and said, "Girl, that's not okay. This is what the eldest lady has told me. If the girl doesn't go, the eldest lady should punish the slave."

Seeing that the maid was almost crying, Minglan said, "You go first. Sister Pinlan and I will go in a moment."

The maid knew that Minglan was the second wife's girl and had a good relationship with Pinlan. When she said this, she thanked her and left.

"What are you blindly promising? I won't go." Pinlan glared at Minglan.

Minglan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter that I have insomnia, you are still a half-guest. If you don't go, my aunt won't trust you. She will definitely send someone to urge you, and she may even come to catch you in person. It's nothing more than a toast and a fine. difference."

When Pinlan thought about her mother's character, she felt a little disheartened and said, "I really don't want to see those people in the third room. Except for Sister Xiulan, it's better. You also met Huilan two days ago, and there's another one." Let alone Sister Yuelan, who is a concubine."

Minglan pulled Pinlan toward the back hall and asked, "We are all one family. What grudges do you have to keep in mind?"

Pinlan said without hesitation: "You have been living in Bianjing. You don't know how annoying those people in the third bedroom are. When I was a child, my aunt said that the family was in a difficult situation and the girl had to be rich, so she sent those people to my house. Sister Xiulan She's an honest person, that's all. That Yuelan, huh, she always makes a fuss when we share things during festivals, either snatching my clothes or stealing my sister's hairpin and jewelry. I went to complain, but she said calmly It was me who bullied her, and my parents would scold me every time."

"She still steals things?" Minglan asked in surprise.

It's okay to fight over things, but stealing is a bit too much.

"It's not stealing at all. It's just an open robbery. As long as there is no one in my sister's room, she will go in and rummage through things. She will take away the good things when she sees them, and wear them openly when she comes back. My sister has a good temper and doesn't care about her. She Instead, he became more and more wanton, and even touched his mother's room several times. As an elder, my mother couldn't say anything, so she could only endure it, saying that it was normal for girls to like beauty and jewelry, so let her go. Until one time she discovered that a few pieces were missing. The land deed included the ancestral home, so my mother became anxious."

"What happened next? Are the land deeds coming back?" Minglan asked curiously.

Pinlan was very excited when she mentioned this, and said with a smile: "At that time, her marriage had been decided, and she was going to get married in two months. She was taking advantage of the fact that she was about to get married, and no one in her family dared to deal with her. Unexpectedly, my mother first He sent someone to the third room to pick her up politely. Then he sent someone to the in-laws' house to tell her that Sister Yuelan had caught a cold and her wedding was postponed for half a year. He locked her up at home and let the third room say whatever she wanted. , and didn’t let go.”

"The third bedroom didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. She was worried that sister Yuelan would be divorced. She was imprisoned for dozens of days before she had to hand over the land deed. It turned out that even the third bedroom didn't know about it, and she wanted to secretly Hide it and take it to your husband’s house.”

Pinlan said with great joy, but Minglan was very surprised.

When she came back twice, Mrs. Li was always polite. She didn't expect that she would have such methods. She felt that she had learned a lot.

"Okay, we'll be here soon, don't talk anymore," Minglan said.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Hurry up and put away your valuable jewelry." Pinlan said.

"Why?" Minglan asked doubtfully.

"Otherwise, Sister Yuelan will see it later and will definitely ask you for it." Pinlan said.

"Can it still be like this?" Minglan asked in surprise.

"Haha, she is so shameless. She asked you for it in front of so many people. How dare you refuse? This is not the first time she has done this." Pinlan said.

Minglan thought for a while, but still didn't put away the jewelry.

She came with the old lady, which means that the face of the old lady and the second wife of the Sheng family cannot be shabby anymore.

When the two came to the back hall, the maid who had called them before was stretching her neck and looking around. When she saw the two coming, she hurriedly came to greet them.

"My good girl, you are finally here. The eldest lady just sent someone to rush you."

"What are you talking about? Isn't this coming?"

After talking about the grievances of the past, Pinlan felt much happier and pulled Minglan to go inside.

The maid quickly stepped forward and opened the door curtain.

As soon as he opened the door curtain and wanted to walk in, he heard a female voice.

"Second aunt, please give Minglan to my nephew."

Pinlan was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Minglan and saw that she was not panicked at all. He reminded: "The one who spoke is the aunt of the third room. I have also heard of her natal nephew. I took the exam several times and failed to pass the exam." . We usually eat and cook, but we are already 21, and we are still getting married."

"It's okay, my grandma has the final say in my marriage, and she won't agree to it." Minglan said with a smile.

When the two of them walked in, they saw many female relatives sitting bustling in the room.

The old lady, the daughter-in-law and the eldest girl were either standing or standing, because today was Changwu's wedding. They were all dressed up very delicately, with various jewelry on their heads, and the room was full of jewels.

Minglan looked at Hua Lan, who was sitting under her grandmother.

A woman next to Mrs. Li saw the two people coming in and clapped her legs and said, "Oh, Cao Cao is here. The rightful owner is here."

Minglan didn't seem to hear anything. As Pinlan gave gifts to the elders, he came to stand beside the old lady.

The woman next to Ms. Li is Ms. Ding, the daughter-in-law of Shengju, the third wife of the family.

He had been looking at Minglan since he came in. When he saw Minglan standing still, he looked at Mrs. Sheng and smiled: "Second aunt, I have always heard that this child is good. The more I saw her today, the more I liked her. What I just said What do you think, Second Aunt?"

After Ding finished speaking, the room became quiet.

Generally speaking, when it comes to proposing marriage, for fear of being rejected by the other party, one would not say it so directly, but would first test it out in roundabout ways.

If the opponent has this intention, he will give some response and the matter will be settled.

The Sheng family is not the only one here now. Ding said so. If the old lady refuses, it will not only hurt the relationship, but also make outsiders laugh.

　I wrote it yesterday and it was blocked. I revised it several times but it didn't go through. I had to write it again. I didn't have enough time. I'm sorry everyone.
