Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 265: Asking for forgiveness

But no matter what, as a prince, King Huan really shouldn't have close contact with these generals.

"Do you also think that the officials are suspicious of King Huan?" Gu Tingye frowned.

Zhao Zongquan was kind to him. When he was down and out, it was Zhao Zongquan who introduced him to join the army.

Now that Zhao Zongquan has become the emperor, there is no need to treat him badly.

He is relatively familiar with Zhao Zongquan and his son. In his eyes, the relationship between father and son has always been very good.

Although there were many rumors among the people that Zhao Zongquan was suspicious of King Huan, he never took it seriously.

"Zhong Huai, sometimes it's not a matter of belief or not. It's our identity that determines what we do. Do you understand?" Yuan Wenshao said.

Gu Tingye is really smart when he is smart, but sometimes he feels too simple.

Regardless of whether Zhao Zongquan suspects Zhao Ceying or not, that is a matter between father and son.

As a minister and a general leading an army, he had to keep a distance from the prince.

Zhao Zongquan restructured the western suburbs camp in order to control military power.

Good guy, there are five camps, three of which have close contacts with the prince, how can Zhao Zongquan sleep?

Seeing Gu Tingye thoughtfully, Yuan Wenshao patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to remember that the official status is different now."

He felt that Gu Tingye had not fully adapted to Zhao Zongquan's identity change.

Gu Tingye was silent for a long time and said, "I understand."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have something to tell you."

Yuan Wenshao held Gu Tingye's shoulders, told us about Wen Yanjing and Ru Lan, and said, "Is there anything you should pay attention to?"

Gu Tingye thought for a while and said: "The method you mentioned is very good, but if you are pretending to be a noble and wealthy family in Bianjing, you will be in trouble if you are discovered. This must be considered."

"This is what I'm worried about. You have many bad ideas. Let's see if there's anything we can do." Yuan Wenshao said.

Gu Tingye rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Don't worry about these details, think of a solution quickly." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Gu Tingye pondered for a while and said: "The original wealthy lord in Bianjing is definitely not good, so we can only start from Yuzhou. I have some friendship with Cai Bingwen, and I can borrow his name. It should not be a big problem. When the time comes, this matter I'll make the arrangements, just tell me when to take action."

"Cai Bingwen, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? This is a good candidate. Okay, I will let you know when the time comes." Yuan Wenshao nodded.

Cai Bingwen was not considered to be a minister of Yuzhou's Qiandi, but was originally a state official of Yuzhou and was an official of the sixth rank.

When Zhao Zongquan was the training envoy of the Yuzhou regiment, he had a good relationship with him and was considered a relatively good friend.

After ascending the throne, Zhao Zongquan believed that all his confidants were military generals, so he transferred Cai Bingwen to Bianjing.

After being promoted several times in just a few months, he is now the Minister of Civil Affairs.

The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments, responsible for the evaluation, promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is also known as the Heavenly Official.

Only the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of the imperial examinations, can rival it.

If he could get married to the Minister of Civil Affairs, it would be much more beneficial to Wen Yanjing than marrying a girl from the Sheng family.

After talking all the way, the two separated after leaving the imperial city.

……

Wen Yanjing carried the thorn sticks on his back, ignoring the surprised and surprised looks of passers-by, and went all the way to Sheng's house in Jiying Lane and knocked on the door.

As soon as the concierge opened the door, he was stunned when he saw Wen Yanjing's attire. He came back to his senses and said: "Mr. Wen, the eldest lady has told me that Mr. Wen will not be allowed in when the master is not at home. You should go back."

Although I don't know why he gave such an order, he is just a concierge, so he only needs to follow the instructions.

"Excuse me, please go in and report that Wen Yanjing has come to plead guilty." Wen Yanjing cupped his hands and said.

The concierge saw many people gathered outside because of Wen Yanjing's attire, and said, "Master Wen, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."

After saying that, he hurriedly closed the door and went to report.

……

"He still has the nerve to come? Let me drive him away!" Mrs. Wang said angrily.

After Rulan failed to commit suicide yesterday, she still hasn't had any rice or water.

She went to see Ru Lan early this morning, and when she saw her daughter's haggard appearance, her anger turned into heartache.

Now Wen Yanjing still dares to come. If it weren't for the fear of making a big fuss and spreading the news, Madam Wang would have wanted to have someone beat him up.

"Madam, the concierge said that there are many people watching outside. If he had been at the door, I don't know how the news would have spread. In my opinion, it is better to let him in first, and then send someone to ask the master to come back." Mother Liu said.

Although Mrs. Wang was angry, she did not lose her mind. She said angrily: "Just do what you say, An. Let someone lead him to the front hall. Don't worry about him. There is no need for tea."

"Yes." Mother Liu responded and gave the order.

After receiving the order, the servants quickly welcomed Wen Yanjing in. According to Mrs. Wang's instructions, he was taken directly to the front hall and left alone.

Wen Yanjing looked calm and said nothing.

Because there were thorns on his back, he couldn't sit down or untie them, so he just stood in the front hall.

……

Shouantang

After hearing the news, Mrs. Sheng looked at Minglan and asked, "Do you know what his purpose is for doing this?"

Minglan thought for a while and said, "My granddaughter thinks he is here to force me into a palace."

"Yes, I have to say that your father has a good eye for people. Pressing forward step by step is a good method." Mrs. Sheng said sarcastically.

I don't know whether he was mocking Sheng Hong, Wen Yanjing, or both.

"Grandma, there are many official families around here. He did this, and now countless people are paying attention to our family. This has made our Sheng family very passive. We have to think of a way." Minglan said.

"This is a good student your father has accepted. Let him have the headache. I told him before not to do this trick of recruiting students, but he refused to listen." Old Mrs. Sheng said coldly.

Others accept disciples because the children in the family are mediocre. They only accept disciples for the sake of the long-term prosperity of the family.

However, Sheng Changbai's ranking in the imperial examination was far better than that of Sheng Hong, and the Sheng family was much stronger now than before. With Sheng Changbai around, the Sheng family could prosper for at least several decades. There was no need to recruit disciples to improve the Sheng family.

But Sheng Hong didn't listen to her advice at all and insisted on accepting it.

After Mrs. Sheng persuaded him once, she let him go.

"Grandma, what if someone finds out about Fifth Sister and him?" Minglan asked anxiously.

She had already seen clearly about Sheng Hong, and there was no father-daughter feeling.

But she has a good relationship with Rulan, and she is worried that Rulan will be hurt.

Old Mrs. Sheng pondered for a while and said: "He doesn't have the guts. He did this today just to put some pressure on the Sheng family. As long as he takes care of the family, everything will be fine. Now that Haishi is in charge of the family, I feel very relieved." . You girl, don’t worry about this. There are not many days until you get married. Learn more about housekeeping from your sister-in-law."

Minglan's face turned red and she said, "Grandma, my granddaughter knows. I'm going to see the fifth sister first. She hasn't been eating or drinking, and my granddaughter is really worried." "Go, remember not to spill the beans." Sheng said the old lady.

"I know." Minglan said.

……

When Sheng Hong learned that Wen Yanjing had come to plead guilty, he quickly took leave and returned home.

Seeing Wen Yanjing, Sheng Hong said angrily: "When I saw that you were a good character, I accepted you as a student, and even opened the collection of books in my home for you to read. Is this how you repay me?"

"teacher!"

Wen Yan bowed and said, "Teacher's kindness is unforgettable to the students! The students admired the fifth girl sincerely. They knew that they were of low status and were not worthy of her, so they never dared to mention it to the teacher. After the results were released a few days ago, , the student felt that he was worthy of the fifth girl, so he found a matchmaker to propose marriage. This move was not explained to the teacher in advance, which also affected the reputation of the fifth girl. The student felt ashamed of the teacher, so he could only come to apologize. Please forgive me, teacher!"

Sheng Hong said angrily: "Do you think I will marry my daughter to you if you do this?"

"The teacher misunderstood. The student was carried away by the joy of being named on the gold list and felt that he was worthy of the fifth girl. Now he has calmed down and knows that he is not worthy of the fifth girl. He does not dare to have any extravagant expectations. He only asks the teacher to forgive him." Wen Wen Yan Jing bowed.

Sheng Hong was stunned and said with some uncertainty: "Are you telling the truth?"

Wen Yanjing said in a deep voice: "Students dare not lie to their teachers."

Sheng Hong's expression softened upon hearing this. It was naturally best for Wen Yanjing to give up.

"It's best if you think so. Your talented teacher understands that it's not that the teacher doesn't want to marry his daughter to you, but that her mother has already been helping her arrange a marriage," Sheng Hong said.

"Students understand." Wen Yanjing said.

There was a trace of hesitation in Sheng Hong's eyes. He wanted Wen Yanjing to explain clearly to Ru Lan and make Ru Lan give up, but he felt that it was inappropriate to do so.

After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Okay, this matter is over. Now that you are about to be awarded an official, I will help you find a way and try my best to let you stay in Bianjing."

No matter which department you join, staying in Bianjing will definitely be much better than being transferred directly.

After serving as an official in Bianjing for a few years, the starting point for overseas employment will be much higher.

Sheng Hong felt that Wen Yanjing gave up because of his own future.

Even if he doesn't give up, it's impossible for the Sheng family to agree in a short time.

But it won't be long before he is awarded an official position. Without his help, Wen Yanjing will most likely be released.

Even if the Sheng family agrees by then, it will not change the fact that it will be released to the outside world.

Although Wen Yanjing's approach was realistic, Sheng Hong was not disgusted with it.

In Sheng Hong's view, only a character like Wen Yanjing can go further in the officialdom.

As for whether Wen Yanjing will disown him as a teacher if he becomes prosperous in the future, he is not worried.

Once a teacher, always a father!

As long as Wen Yanjing wants to establish himself in the officialdom, his reputation must not be flawed, and he must be respected no matter what.

"Thank you, master." Wen Yanjing said with gratitude.

"Okay, take off the thorns and go back first," Sheng Hong said.

"Yes, students resign!"

Wen Yanjing did not refuse, and directly took off the vitex and left.

After he left, Sheng Hong pondered for a while, then came to Shou'an Hall. After seeing Mrs. Sheng, he told his guess.

After hearing this, Mrs. Sheng couldn't think of any other reasons. She was silent for a while and said, "It's a good thing that he is willing to give up. But what about Ru Lan?"

"My son originally wanted him to explain things clearly to Ru Lan, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not appropriate. Ru Lan asked her mother to enlighten her. It should be fine in a few days. Then we can arrange a marriage for her. ." Sheng Hong said.

"Confused!"

Old Mrs. Sheng said: "Don't look at that girl Rulan who is careless and stubborn. If we don't tell her clearly, she will think that we forced Wen Yanjing to give up. How can she give up?"

"What about mother's wishes?" Sheng Hong asked.

Mrs. Sheng said thoughtfully: "Wen Yanjing is not young now. Now that he has passed the imperial examination, it is time to get married. As a teacher, shouldn't you help with the planning?"

It would definitely not be appropriate for Wen Yanjing to persuade Ru Lan. Ru Lan wouldn't believe him if he told Ru Lan directly.

After much deliberation, the only option was to let Wen Yanjing get married.

The Sheng family might have forced Wen Yanjing to give up, but the Sheng family couldn't force Wen Yanjing to get married, right?

By then Ru Lan will also be able to realize Wen Yanjing's true face.

"What mother said is that when my son comes back, he will ask the eldest lady to help him organize everything." Sheng Hong said.

"Confused."

Old Mrs. Sheng said: "That eldest lady of yours hates him in her heart, and she has an unpredictable temper. If you ask her to help arrange marriage arrangements, what kind of good marriage arrangements can be arranged? Can Wen Yanjing agree? You don't have to worry about this matter. Now, I’ll ask Haishi to help him find a family with an innocent family background. Then you, the teacher, will just come forward and help.”

"Yes."

Sheng Hong thought this was indeed a good idea.

The Hai family has been in Qingliu for generations, and all the officials who are familiar with it are Qingliu officials.

It would be a good idea to help Wen Yanjing find a Qingliu family with a low family status.

"Remember to send someone to Hualan to tell them that since they have given up, all previous plans can be cancelled," Mrs. Sheng said.

"Yes, my son has taken note of it," Sheng Hong said.

……

"Now the major camps are almost completed, and the generals of each camp have been arranged. They will come to the Privy Council tomorrow. At that time, you can get familiar with your generals first. When the major camps are built and the army moves in, it will be formal Training. Because the army was disrupted and reorganized, it was not much stronger than the new army at the beginning. I hope you can get the army to run in as soon as possible, otherwise once there is a war on the border, there will be no troops available." The British Master said solemnly.

"Yes!" Yuan Wenshao and others responded in unison.

"Okay, let's all disperse!" the British Duke waved his hands.

Everyone stood up, bowed, and left.

"Haha, Wen Shao Zhonghuai, I have reserved a seat at Guangyuntai and made an appointment with Lao Geng and the others to go drinking together. You two will show your respect and go together." Shen Congxing said with a smile.

"Uncle Guo is treating me to a treat, so of course I have to go. I'll go there when I get back and change my clothes."

Gu Tingye winked at Yuan Wenshao as he spoke.

Yuan Wenshao originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing Gu Tingye's eyes, he agreed.

"Haha, Zhong Huai, you are a frequent visitor to Guangyuntai. I heard that Wei Xingshou is still your sweetheart. We won't compete with you for Wei Xingshou, but you have to introduce other good girls to us. You can't let us I was fooled." Shen Congxing laughed.

"You go and report the identity of your uncle, who dares to deceive you?" Gu Tingye said with a smile.

Shen Congxing shook his head and said: "Zhong Huai, it's no wonder that you are still a regular customer of Goulan. You don't even understand this. What's the fun in going to a brothel to expose your identity?"
