Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 43 Jingmingfang

"Get up quickly, Erlang is fighting hard outside, reviving the name of Earl Zhongqin's Mansion and getting a title. My father is very happy." Yuan Weichang said with a smile.

Mrs. Yuan also smiled and said some caring words, appearing very harmonious.

Yuan Wenshao chatted with them for a while, smiled and said to Yuan Wenchun and his wife, "I heard that my eldest brother and my eldest sister-in-law traveled to Yangzhou to find a job for me. My brother is very grateful."

"Yes...should be." The smiles on the faces of Yuan Wenchun and his wife were a little unnatural.

The smile on Mrs. Yuan's face also froze, and she said: "Erlang, it's your brother's fault for this. It's my mother's fault. She happened to be sick at that time. It was too late to ask the clan elders, so we had to ask the boss to make a trip. "

Yuan Weichang glared at her fiercely and said, "Erlang..."

Yuan Wenshao didn't wait for Yuan Weichang to speak, he smiled and said: "Father, I don't mean to blame. The child is also very worried when he hears about his mother's illness outside. This time, Duke Ding gave me a few century-old ginseng. When the time comes, my mother will take it to make up for it."

Although he was angry about what Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Wenchun did, he couldn't get angry.

What else?Make a fuss?
At that time, it will be him who suffers.

He didn't have any sense of belonging to the Yuan family, but after all, he occupied the original owner's body and fused his memory.

It is unrealistic to say that it has no impact at all.

This approach of the Yuan family also made that trace of influence completely disappear.

After he gets married and moves out, he will not return to Earl Zhongqin's Mansion, except for some due etiquette during New Years and holidays.

Although Yuan Wenshao was smiling, Yuan Weichang could feel the coldness in his tone, and he became even more angry with Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Wenchun.

"The royal estate and gold and silver that the government rewarded you before are all collected by your mother. The rewards for the title will not be distributed until you enter the palace to thank you. You have been exhausted all the way, go back to your room to take a bath and change clothes, and then go to the palace. Worship our ancestors," Yuan Weichang said.

"Yes." Yuan Wenshao bowed and walked to his yard.

After Yuan Wenshao left, Yuan Weichang entered the front hall with a cold snort.

"Mom, you can't give those two imperial mansions to Erlang. Our family has no income to begin with, but after Erlang was ennobled, the officials rewarded him with two more imperial mansions, which is enough for him." Yuan Wenchun whispered. .

"Don't worry, I will tell your father about this." Mrs. Yuan said and walked into the front hall.

"Official, Erlang is not married yet, so he has no time to take care of the palace."

Madam Yuan sat down beside Yuan Weichang and said.

Yuan Weichang glanced at her and said, "You mean to give it to him when he gets married?"

"No." Mrs. Yuan shook her head and said, "What I mean is that we are not separated now. I am in charge of everything in this family, so naturally I will be in charge of the Imperial Manor."

The price of land around Bianjing is very high, with the average price per acre being around [-] taels.

Since Huangzhuang is the private property of the emperor, it is naturally the best land, and one acre can be sold for more than ten taels.

The two Huangzhuang together have more than 3000 mu, not to mention the annual output, the price of the field alone can be worth tens of thousands of taels, how could she be willing to hand it over.

"boom!"

Yuan Weichang stood up and said in a cold voice: "Erlang has been knighted. Do you have to alienate him from this family to be satisfied?"

"What are the officials talking about? There are thousands of people in a family, and one person is in charge. Since ancient times, the man has been in charge of the outside and the woman has been in charge of the house. I am the head of the house, and I will naturally manage the affairs of the house." Madam Yuan retorted.

"You are not standing upright, your heart is in your throat, how do you manage the house?"

Yuan Weichang said coldly: "Let me tell you, all the Huangzhuang and gold, silver and cloth rewarded by the government will be given to the second child, and there must be no less. Otherwise, I will divorce you."

"Divorce me?"

Mrs. Yuan's face turned cold when she heard this, and said: "I abide by women's ethics. Even if there is a divorce letter left by my mother before she died, you have no reason to divorce me. If you dare to divorce me, I will go to the official. Sue imperial court."

"Complain?" Yuan Weichang sneered: "As long as the concubines in the house got pregnant these years, they either had miscarriages or died of dystocia. Do you really think I don't know that it was all your fault?"

"I've been keeping it secret all this time, just because I don't want others to see the Yuan family's jokes. If you don't know what's good, don't blame me for not cherishing our relationship as husband and wife for many years."

Madam Yuan's face was pale, and her eyes were full of panic.

……

Yuan Wenshao didn't know about the verbal confrontation between his parents, so he returned to the yard, took a shower, changed his clothes, and came to the front hall refreshed under the care of Xiaohuan and Cui Liu.

Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Yuan Wenshao didn't ask any further questions.

Yuan Weichang squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "It is a great joy for Erlang to be knighted. We must let our ancestors know about it. Come on, follow me to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors."

The family came to the ancestral hall, Mrs. Yuan and sister-in-law Wei stayed outside, and the father and son entered the ancestral hall.

The father and son each held a stick of incense and knelt on the futon. Yuan Weichang explained in detail the process of Yuan Wenshao's knighthood. The father and son kowtowed to the incense and completed the worship.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Yuan Weichang ignored Mrs. Yuan and the others, but smiled and said to Yuan Wenshao: "Erlang will go to the study with me. Tomorrow you will enter the palace to thank you. I will tell you about palace etiquette for my father."

"Yes."

Yuan Wenshao responded, and followed Yuan Weichang to the study.

Waiting for the servant girl to serve tea, Yuan Weichang sent them away and said with a smile: "Erlang, this time you have made such a great contribution in the northwest, not only for my Yuan family, but also for your meritorious service. Father is very happy. I hope you and your elder brother will work together to carry forward the Yuan family."

"The child obeys the teaching of the father."

No matter what Yuan Wenshao thought in his heart, he had to agree verbally.

Yuan Weichang was very satisfied with Yuan Wenshao's answer, nodded and said: "The house that the officials rewarded you is in Jingmingfang, Donghua Gate, with a battlefield of dozens of acres. It was originally a prince's mansion. You can go and see it later."

"Jingmingfang?" Yuan Wenshao was taken aback.

Bianjing City is divided into the inner city and the outer city of the imperial city.

Among them, the imperial city does not only refer to the so-called imperial palace, but also includes the offices of the three provinces and six ministries.

The inner city is divided into six houses and nine squares, and the people living in the six houses are all princes, nobles and royal family members.

Most of the people living in Jiufang are princes and officials of fifth rank or above.

It is said that not many people know about Jingmingfang, but when it comes to Fanlou, many people must know about it.

Fan Tower is in Jingming Square.

However, he was relieved when he thought that the house given to him by the officials was originally the Marquis' Mansion.

In ancient times, there was a strict hierarchy, and there were detailed regulations on how big a house one could live in according to his or her title.

Generally speaking, the Ministry of Industry should build a mansion after a feudal title, but after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is basically no idle land in Bianjing, and even if there is, it is very remote.

In addition to building houses, the emperor can also directly reward people.

As for the house rewarded by the emperor, there is no such thing as exceeding the rules.

Even though that house was originally the Marquis's Mansion, Yuan Wenshao could still live there.

"Dad, when the child is going to get married, it will be held in the house awarded by the government, and he will live there after the marriage." Yuan Wenshao said.

Yuan Weichang frowned slightly: "You want to separate the family?"

"My father is too worried. How can we separate the family while our parents are still alive? What I'm talking about is living in separate houses," Yuan Wenshao said.

Not to mention that Yuan Weichang was unwilling to separate the family, even if he was willing, Yuan Wenshao was also unwilling.

Otherwise, he will be labeled as unfilial and his title may be taken back.

"Father, that house is a reward from the government. If it is vacant, it would be disrespectful to accept it. Being impeached by the officials is a lot of trouble," Yuan Wenshao said.

Yuan Weichang took a deep look, pondered for a while and said: "What you said makes sense, so let's do as you said. But that house has been in disrepair for a long time, and your wedding date is March [-]th next year. There are only a few It's been a month, and it needs to be repaired as soon as possible."

He naturally knew that what Yuan Wenshao said were all excuses, and it would be disrespectful not to accept rewards from officials, and they were nothing more than excuses.

Even if someone takes this as an issue, it can be said that Yuan Wenshao is reluctant to let go of his parents, and no one will be able to find fault at that time.

Loyalty is greater than filial piety in some major matters, but in such trivial matters, the officials will not say anything at all.

Maybe the officials will give a few words of praise when they know about it.

Yuan Weichang agreed because he knew the character of his wife and eldest son.

Rather than letting Yuan Wenshao stay in Earl Zhongqin's mansion and be alienated by them, it would be better to live separately.

Although the two families will become more and more estranged after separation, as long as Yuan Wenshao still cares about his reputation, he cannot ignore anything that happens at Earl Zhongqin's Mansion.

Yuan Wenshao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yuan Weichang to agree so happily.

"Father, where is that mother?"

"I'll talk to her over there." Yuan Weixin waved his hand.

Next, Yuan Weichang did not discuss this topic again, but talked to Yuan Wenshao about the things that need to be paid attention to when entering the palace.

Why should you not look directly at an official when you see him, how should you respond, etc.

It wasn't until the servants came to report and the food was ready that the father and son left the study and went to have a meal.

After dinner, Mrs. Yuan reluctantly gave him the land deeds to the two imperial mansions. As for the silver, two pieces of cloth, and other items, they were all in the warehouse, and she asked him to pick them up when he needed them.

Yuan Wenshao was naturally not polite. After taking it, he returned to his yard on the grounds of physical exhaustion.

After putting the land deed away, Yuan Wenshao was going to take a nap, but a servant came to report that someone came to visit, and the master invited him over.

Yuan Wenshao spent the entire afternoon dealing with these visitors.

These people are all here for him. Although their status is not very high, he can't help but see them.

Some acquaintances even brought over their children who knew Yuan Wenshao.

Naturally, those who came to visit could not come empty-handed. They all prepared generous gifts and even proposed to entertain Yuan Wenshao at a banquet.But they were all rejected by him.

It wasn't until evening that things became quiet.

But the palace sent someone to bring the official uniform.

Yuan Wenshao is now a general of the fourth rank, and when he enters the palace to thank him tomorrow, he will naturally wear the scarlet official uniform worn by Zheng Siping.

Yuan Wenshao tried it on, and it fit him very well, so he finally didn't have to be a green-robed monster in the future.
