Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 41 Sun Qi’s Teachings

The news of Yuan Wenshao's canonization not only caused a great sensation in Bianjing, but also spread to other places.

Yangzhou, the back house of Tongfan Mansion.

In the main hall of Wei Ruixuan
Mrs. Wang looked at Sheng Changbai who was kneeling on the ground, and she couldn't help but feel angry.

Originally, she was very dissatisfied with the Yuan family after being hired by the Yuan family, but not long ago it was reported that Yuan Wenshao was rewarded for his meritorious service and was promoted to the sixth rank of Zhaowu Colonel, which made her extremely happy.

You must know that the master of the Sheng family is only at the sixth rank. Although the status of a general is much lower than that of a civil servant, Yuan Wenshao is so talented and his future can be said to be limitless. (Sheng Hong written in the previous article is the seventh rank, and many people questioned it, so he revised it and changed it to the sixth rank. The reason why he wrote the seventh rank was based on the film and television drama. There is no mention in the film and television drama that Sheng Hong is However, when Sheng Hong entered Beijing, he wore green official uniforms, and green is worn by officials of the seventh to fifth ranks. Considering that he will be promoted later, he decided to be the seventh rank. However, many people questioned this point. I It has been changed and I will explain it here.)
When attending the banquet, she was often flattered and flattered by Yangzhou officials, which made Mrs. Wang very unhappy, and she usually walked with wind.

However, despite being happy, Mrs. Wang did not forget Sheng Changbai's studies. According to Sheng Hong's wishes, Sheng Changbai would have to take part in the imperial examination next year. Therefore, Mrs. Wang has been urging Sheng Changbai to study hard during this period.

However, Sheng Changbai often found various reasons to go out these days, and would stay out for an hour or two.

Mrs. Wang sent her subordinates to follow her secretly, but found out that Sheng Changbai had gone to see Gu Tingye.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that when Sheng Changbai came back, she called her over and made him kneel down.

"How many times have I told you that Gu Tingye is a libertine in Bianjing, so you should avoid dealing with him. Moreover, on the day your eldest sister sent her a job offer, he almost won the geese from your eldest sister, which made our family lose face." What a shame, you still associate with him, are you doing this to me and your eldest sister?" Mrs. Wang said angrily.

"Mom, haven't I explained this before? The eldest son of the Yuan family asked him to do it. Erlang cannot be blamed." Sheng Changbai said.

"you…"

Mrs. Wang pointed at Sheng Changbai, her body trembled with anger, and she cursed: "I think you are stupid because of studying. Have you forgotten the last time you met an assassin while having a drink with him? You were almost not injured by the assassin. He But he ran away and used this to plot against the Bai family. This man is too scheming, so don't interact with him."

That time Gu Tingye was assassinated. The Yangzhou police officers and Xiang troops searched for him all night. They almost turned Yangzhou City upside down, but they couldn't find him.

For this reason, Sheng Hong and Yangzhou officials gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Who would have thought that two days later, when the old man of the Bai family was having a funeral, he would show up.

The old man of the Bai family often gave alms to the village, and he had a good reputation in Yangzhou. When the funeral was held, all Yangzhou officials, big and small, went.

In front of Yangzhou officials, Gu Tingye took out a letter from Mr. Bai asking him to come to Yangzhou to inherit the family business.

Normally, the Bai family's property should be inherited by the second and third families of the Bai family. However, the current property of the Bai family was built by Mr. Bai himself.

Even the Bai family's ancestral home was redeemed by Mr. Bai. Therefore, the Bai family's property has nothing to do with the Bai family. In addition, Gu Tingye has a letter written by Mr. Bai himself and it comes from the Hou Mansion. Yangzhou officials can only transfer the Bai family's home to The karma was awarded to Gu Tingye.

Although Gu Tingye got the Bai family business, his reputation in Yangzhou was ruined.

The ancients attached great importance to the clan. In the eyes of the ancients, the clan was higher than the grandchildren.

Even in later generations, the law clearly stipulates that children enjoy the same inheritance rights, but in the minds of ordinary people, the son should inherit the family property.

Mrs. Wang didn't have a good impression of Gu Tingye to begin with, and she became even more disgusted when Gu Tingye, an outsider, came to 'seek' the Bai family property.

And Gu Tingye was the one who caused trouble on her daughter's big day, and the prejudice was even deeper. How could she be willing to let her son associate with Gu Tingye.

"Madam, what a happy event, what a huge happy event."

At this moment, Liu's mother's voice came from outside.

Not long after, Mother Liu ran in with a happy face.

"What happy event? Could it be that the little bitch Lin Sushuang died?" Mrs. Wang asked.

Mother Liu: "..."

Mrs. Wang's words almost gave Mother Liu a hard time.

Although it is indeed a good thing that Lin Sushuang died, this kind of thing cannot be said openly.

"Madam, my eldest uncle has been knighted." Liu's mother said.

"Uncle, what uncle?"

Mrs. Wang didn't realize it at first. Although the Yuan Sheng family had made an appointment and sent betrothal gifts, they hadn't gotten married yet.

"It's the eldest uncle of the Yuan family. There's news from Bianjing that the eldest uncle has made great contributions, and the housekeeper has named him Uncle Zhongyong for three generations." Mother Liu said.

"Really?" Mrs. Wang said in disbelief.

"Really, the news brought by the merchants from Bianjing is said to have been spread in Bianjing. No one would dare to spread such things." Mother Liu affirmed.

Mrs. Wang was so shocked by the news that her mind went blank. It took her a while to come back to her senses, and she said with a happy face: "Thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva for your blessing, my Hua'er will be the eldest daughter of the Earl's Mansion."

As she spoke, Madam Wang knelt down and kowtowed to the portraits hanging on the wall.

However, her worship is quite mixed. The three portraits hanging on the wall cover Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

If he really had a spirit, I don’t know if Madam Wang would be angry.

Madam Wang couldn't control that much. Although Sheng Hualan was married to an Earl's Palace before, Yuan Wenshao was the second son, and it was not his turn to inherit the title.

In addition to the actions Yuan Wenchun made when he was hired, when old uncle Yuan dies, there will probably be divisions.

But things were different now. Yuan Wenshao was knighted himself, and Sheng Hualan was married to the eldest lady of the Earl's Mansion. How unhappy she was.

After the worship, Mrs. Wang stood up and said, "Have someone set up a banquet. Such a big happy event must be celebrated."

"Mom, after all, the eldest sister is not married yet. It is not suitable for our family to hold a banquet for this kind of thing." Sheng Changbai reminded.

"Shut up!" Mrs. Wang is happy now, how can she listen to Jin's persuasion, glared at him, and said: "Your account will be settled with you later, go back to your room and study."

Sheng Changbai had no choice but to stand up, salute and retreat.

But he didn't go back to his yard, but was going to find Sheng Hong to come back.

After all, the Yuan and Sheng families hadn't really become in-laws, so if the Sheng family made a big deal of it, people might laugh at it.

As soon as Sheng Changbai arrived at the door, he happened to bump into Sheng Hong who was coming back.

Compared to Madam Wang, who was overjoyed, Sheng Hong was much calmer, but the joy in his eyes showed that he was also very happy.

Seeing Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai quickly told Sheng Hong the news that Mrs. Wang was going to celebrate.

"What a joke!"

Hearing this, Sheng Hong walked towards Wei Ruixuan with a displeased face.

……

Dingzhou City, in the largest private room in the West Wing Building.

Yuan Wenshao was drinking with two teenagers of similar age.

One of the thin young men sighed and said: "Oh, I originally thought that I would have a chance to go to the battlefield this time, but I didn't expect the Xixia bastard to retreat like this."

"Haha, Hachiro, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Another sturdy young man said with a smile.

Yuan Wenshao also comforted: "Yes, you are still young and have plenty of opportunities."

The thinner of the two is Sun Hao, the youngest son of Dingguo Gong Sun Qi, and the other is Liu Lei, the second grandson of Jingyong Hou Liu Meng.

After Xixia learned that Lingzhou City was lost, they knew they had fallen into a trap. Anguo Gong Feng Rushan was unwilling to accept it and sent troops to recapture Lingzhou City while storming Dingzhou City.

However, how could an important city like Dingzhou City be captured so easily?

As for Lingzhou City, when the reinforcements he sent arrived, the [-] army led by Marquis Ning Yuan had already arrived. Adding the original [-] soldiers and horses, there would be [-] soldiers and horses in Lingzhou City, and there was no chance at all. .

When Yuan Wenshao arrived in Dingzhou City, Xixia had already withdrawn its troops. Sun Qi did not assign him a specific position, but just asked him to wait here for the imperial edict to arrive.

After all, he has made great contributions again, and if he continues to make arrangements now, he will need to make redeployments when the imperial edict of awarding him comes.

Yuan Wenshao has nothing to do these days, but he has become familiar with Sun Hao and Liu Lei.

Yuan Wenshao was speechless about Sun Hao's depression.

If he had Sun Hao's family background, only a fool would go to the battlefield, why not enjoy it?

He worked so hard that he only reached the sixth rank. At such a young age, Sun Hao had the rank of a sixth rank official on his body, and he didn't have to work even though he had money to earn it. It was really infuriating that people were more powerful than others.

At this moment, Zhang An, who was waiting outside, opened the door and walked in. He said with a joyful expression on his face: "Second Young Master, Young Master, Lieutenant Liu, an angel has come from Bianjing, and the Duke of Guo sent someone to deliver a message. You should quickly change your clothes and go to the south gate to greet the angel."

When he was not in the army, Zhang An called Yuan Wenshao the son again.

"what!"

The three of them looked at each other, not daring to delay, and hurriedly left the restaurant.

Since Sun Hao and Liu Lei both have places to live, they naturally meet in their own families.

Yuan Wenshao was still living in the post house, so he went back and changed into his official uniform, then rode his horse to the south gate.

On the way, Yuan Wenshao looked disgusted at the green official uniform he was wearing and wondered if he could change the color this time.

Military generals only wear armor in battles and in the army. They usually wear official uniforms like civil servants.

Levels [-] to [-] are all green, and those above level [-] can be changed to scarlet.

However, Yuan Wenshao also knew that the hope was not high. After all, he had only been in the army for a long time, and his promotion from the eighth grade to the fourth grade was too fast.

Fortunately, the hat is black, otherwise Yuan Wenshao would feel extremely awkward.

By the time Yuan Wenshao arrived at the south gate, Sun Qi was already waiting there with a group of Dingzhou City officials.

Sun Hao and Liu Lei have already arrived.

Yuan Wenshao bowed to Sun Qi and the officials of the Fourth Division on Qinfeng Road, and was about to stand with Sun Hao and the others, but Sun Qi said, "Lieutenant Yuan, you have made a great achievement this time, so stand behind the old man." .”

"Yes." Yuan Wenshao responded and stood behind Sun Qi.

After waiting for about half an hour, a group of soldiers came escorting a carriage.

After the carriage approached, Sun Qi came forward with officials from Dingzhou City.

After the carriage stopped, everyone shouted: "Welcome the angel!"

Eunuch Li opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Dong Guo Ding, we meet again."

"Haha, it's hard work for Eunuch Li to travel back and forth." Sun Qi said with a smile.

"It's not hard to work for an official." Eunuch Li smiled, got off the carriage and said, "I wonder who is Yuan Wenshao?"

Sun Qi rushed to Yuan Wenshao behind him and said, "Come and see Eunuch Li."

Yuan Wenshao hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Yuan Wenshao, the captain of Zhaowu School, has met Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li looked at Yuan Wenshao and said with a smile, "You are really young and talented."

"Thank you Eunuch Li for the compliment." Yuan Wenshao said modestly.

Eunuch Li exchanged some pleasantries and said, "Okay, our family has the emperor's order, so let's announce the decree first."

Everyone got on their horses, those in carriages got on carriages, and returned to Duke Dingguo's mansion.

After everyone knelt down in front of the incense table, Eunuch Li began to read out the imperial edict.

When Yuan Wenshao heard that he had been granted the title of Uncle Zhongyong, who had conquered three generations, with a settlement of [-] households, and a real title of [-] households, he was stunned.

It wasn't until everyone's voice of thanks came that he came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted.

After the imperial decree was read, it was a banquet.

As the person with the richest rewards, Yuan Wenshao naturally drank a lot.

Even though Da Zhou's alcohol content was not very high, he had a good capacity for drinking. By the time the banquet was over, he was still dizzy.

With Zhang An's support, Yuan Wenshao wanted to go to the inn to rest, but a servant came to tell him that Duke Dingguo had invited him.

Yuan Wenshao cheered up and followed the servant to Sun Qi's study.

"I have met the Duke." Yuan Wenshao saluted.

"Sit down." Sun Qi waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo."

After Yuan Wenshao sat down, the maid brought tea.

Sun Qi waved the maid away and said, "Drink some tea first to sober up."

Yuan Wenshao thanked him, took a few sips of tea, and felt much clearer.

Putting down the tea bowl, Yuan Wenshao looked at Sun Qi. He knew that Sun Qi must have something to say when he called him.

"I would like to congratulate you on your knighthood." Sun Qi said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord." Yuan Wenshao also had a smile on his face.

He no longer serves in the Five Cities Military and Horse Department, but insists on coming to the frontier army for the sake of his title.

But he never thought he would be knighted so soon.

According to his idea, he would spend several years accumulating merit and gain a title before Zhao Zongquan ascended the throne.

When Zhao Zongquan entered Beijing, it would be best if he could help him put down the rebellion. If not, send someone to protect Zhao Zongquan's family.

There may not be much chance of promotion by then, but there is still hope of changing the title to a hereditary one.

Unexpectedly, he was knighted so quickly.

"Are you proud?" The smile on Sun Qi's face suddenly disappeared.

"Ok?"

Yuan Wenshao was indeed a little proud, which was human nature, but what Sun Qi said was a bit too much.

"This time, the government will reward you so generously, and the old man didn't expect it. But this may not be a good thing for you. The government let you take charge of the brave camp, and you have to return to Beijing tomorrow. You are in the limelight now, go back to Beijing In the future, there will inevitably be many people touting and wooing her, and if you are not careful, you will be lost forever." Sun Qi said lightly.

When Yuan Wenshao heard this, his complacent mood instantly cooled down.

"Also ask the Duke for advice."

There are 40 troops stationed in the camp in the western suburbs of Bianjing all year round, divided into twenty battalions, and Xiaoyong Camp is one of them.

Yuan Wenshao was in charge of Xiaoyong Camp, so he naturally wanted to return to Bianjing.

He didn't think much about it before, but after what Sun Qi said, he suddenly thought that Bianjing would not be peaceful next time.

Of course, Sun Qi didn't know what was going to happen in the future.

The reason why he said this was because the water in Bianjing was very deep, and he valued Yuan Wenshao very much. He was afraid that he would make mistakes when he was young, so he specially reminded him.

"I can't talk about advice, but since ancient times, most people with high ambitions will be swollen. I hope you can calm down as soon as possible. After returning to Bianjing, try to avoid being alone with people, especially some generals." Sun Qi said.

It stands to reason that Yuan Wenshao is a military general, so when he arrives in Bianjing, he naturally wants to get close to the generals in Bianjing.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty valued civil service over military affairs. If the contacts were too close, it would become an excuse for the civil servants to criticize him, and even the officials would be suspicious of him.

"Thank you, Duke, for reminding me. I understand." Yuan Wenshao said gratefully.

"Well, you are getting married in a few months. I can't attend. Let Hao'er go to Bianjing with you. He has an unstable temper. You can take care of him more." Sun Qi said.

Although the reward given to him by the officials this time did not have any real power, the title of Youzhu Kingdom had a different meaning.

In order to prevent the suspicion of the officials, he sent his youngest son to Bianjing, which means to be a proton.

He reminded Yuan Wenshao on the one hand because he was optimistic about it, and on the other hand he wanted him to take care of Sun Hao.

"Don't worry, Duke, nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here at Balang." Yuan Wenshao assured.

Early the next morning, Yuan Wenshao and Sun Hao followed Eunuch Li and left Dingzhou City with everyone seeing them off.

In addition, Liu Lei is also among them.

This time Liu Lei also made some achievements during the siege of Xixia and was promoted to Bianjing.
