Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 51 Aunt Kang’s Purpose
Yuan Wenshao came to the front hall, walked around the screen and saw his mother, Mrs. Yuan, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Feng, chatting and laughing while eating with a woman in her 30s.

Seeing this woman, Yuan Wenshao was stunned.

"Erlang is back, come quickly!" Madam Yuan greeted Yuan Wenshao with a smile.

Yuan Wenshao came back to his senses, stepped forward to salute, and said, "I have seen my mother and sister-in-law."

As for Mrs. Kang, he did not salute, but was waiting for his mother to introduce her.

"Erlang, this is the eldest lady of the Kang family, and also the aunt of your unmarried lady." Madam Yuan introduced with a smile.

"I met Aunt Kang." Yuan Wenshao saluted.

"Ouch, I can't believe it, I can't believe it, Uncle Yuan has broken me." Aunt Kang stood up and gave her a weak support.

"Sister, what are you talking about? You are the elder, so he should salute you." Mrs. Yuan said with a smile.

Yuan Wenshao: "..."

What happened, how did his mother match up with Aunt Kang and sister?
"Hehe, my sister said so, next time I come here I have to prepare the money in advance." Aunt Kang said so, but sat down obediently.

"Haha, it's not too late to wait until they get married to pay for the change."

Mrs. Yuan pulled Yuan Wenshao and said, "Sit down and chat with your Aunt Kang."

Generally speaking, except for family members, men and women sit separately.

When female relatives like Aunt Kang come to visit, Mrs. Yuan also hosts a banquet. This is why Yuan Weichang and Yuan Wenchun are not here.

However, Aunt Kang is Sheng Hualan's aunt, so she is considered a relative. It is not rude for Yuan Wenshao to accompany her to the banquet.

"Yes."

When Yuan Wenshao sat down, he looked at Aunt Kang again.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't Aunt Kang's charm that attracted him.

But he discovered that Aunt Kang looked exactly like the one in the play.

It's just that he looks much younger than when he appeared in the play.

This is quite normal, after all, there are almost ten years before she appears in the play.

Do all the characters in this world look exactly the same as in the show?
When Yuan Wenshao first traveled through time, he felt that his parents looked familiar, including Gu Tingye, who also felt that way.

He didn't think much about it before, just thinking it was because of the fusion of the original owner's memory.

Now it seems that it is not, but because they look exactly the same as in the play. The reason why he didn't think of it before is because these people don't appear many times, and he can't remember the looks of these people clearly.

If this is really the case, then wouldn't Ming Lan also be with...

When he thought of this, Yuan Wenshao's mind became a little confused.

"Why are you so stunned? Let's toast Aunt Qiankang." Mrs. Yuan urged.

"oh oh."

Yuan Wenshao came back to his senses, picked up the wine that the maid in front of him had just poured, and said, "Aunt Kang, I would like to toast you."

Aunt Kang picked up the wine glass, folded her hands, drank the wine, put down the glass and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Erlang is too polite."

Yuan Wenshao put down his cup, smiled when he heard this, and said nothing, thinking about the purpose of Aunt Kang's visit.

Logically speaking, he and Sheng Hualan were not married yet, and there was no reason for Sheng Hualan's family's relatives to visit at this time.

But this is nothing to people like Aunt Kang.

After all, Minglan has nothing to do with him, she can come to the door, Sheng Hualan is her niece after all, it is normal for her to come to the door before marriage if she is capable.

"Erlang is a good-looking talent, and he was conferred a noble title at a young age. My brother-in-law's family is really high. In the future, my mother-in-law will take more care of me." Aunt Kang laughed.

"Hehe, the government rewarded Erlang with a house. Erlang said that it would be disrespectful not to accept the reward from the government. After marriage, he will live in a separate house. I won't be able to control it at that time. I don't care about it. " Madam Yuan said with a smile.

Although she was smiling when she spoke, everyone could hear the resentment in her tone.

It is said that a daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years. When she married, she was often made things difficult by her mother-in-law.

Her eldest son married her niece, so it was not easy for her to show off her mother-in-law's prestige.

She was still thinking of showing off after Sheng Hualan came in, but Yuan Weichang told her that Yuan Wenshao would live in separate houses after their marriage.

Not being able to show off her mother-in-law's prestige really made her a little depressed, but what made her even more upset was that in this way, she would have no way to plan for Sheng Hualan's dowry.

She wanted to plot Sheng Hualan's dowry, on the one hand for the eldest son, and on the other hand to make up for the shortfall.

Over the years, she has taken money from the Yuan family to subsidize her parents' family, all of which she kept hidden from Yuan Weichang.

The Yuan family was not rich in the first place, if Yuan Weichang found out, he would have to divorce her.

It's all right now, Yuan Wenshao rewarded her but she couldn't plan, and after separating from the house, she couldn't even think about Hualan's dowry.

She naturally disagreed with Yuan Wenshao's separation, but Yuan Weichang insisted, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Aunt Kang's eyes lit up when she heard this. If Yuan Wenshao and his wife live in separate houses after getting married, and there are no elders in the house, and her aunt comes to ask for help, how can Yuan Wenshao, a junior, refuse?
Aunt Kang smiled even more when she thought of this, and said: "What did my mother-in-law say? After all, their young couple is young, so it is inevitable that they have missed something, and you need to check it for them."

Aunt Kang naturally heard that Mrs. Yuan was unwilling to let Yuan Wenshao live in a separate house. She said this to help persuade.

However, Mrs. Yuan's eyes lit up after hearing this. Yes, Sheng Hualan was young and had never been a mother. As her biological mother, she often went there in the name of teaching her daughter-in-law, and no one could find fault with her.

Looking at his mother and Aunt Kang who were smiling happily, Yuan Wenshao had a bad premonition for some reason.

After chatting for a while and drinking some wine, the smile on Aunt Kang's face disappeared and she said enviously: "Sister, you are very lucky. Your husband is an uncle, your son is also an uncle, you have a double noble family, and the whole Bianjing is like this." One share. My sister’s life has been miserable. She married someone who didn’t live up to her expectations, and she is still a sixth-grade official. She originally had a good evaluation this year and had a chance to be promoted next year, but it doesn’t matter. I guess this will be the case for the rest of her life.”

As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and secretly watched Yuan Wenshao's reaction.

Yuan Wenshao finally understood the purpose of Aunt Kang's visit this time.

It turned out that he wanted him to recommend Uncle Kang.

Not to mention that he had no intention of helping at all. Even if he wanted to help, he couldn't help. Uncle Kang was a civil servant and he was a military commander. They were not a system at all.

"Aunt Kang is too worried. The old man of the Kang family is an official and a minister in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. The old man of the Wang family has even been granted the title of Grand Master and is worthy of enjoying the imperial temple. With the help of two connections, his future will definitely not be bad." Yuan Wenshao smiled.

When Aunt Kang got married, the old man of the Wang family was still alive, and it was a time of prosperity.

Being able to marry into the Wang family, the Kang family is certainly not bad.

At that time, the old man of the Kang family was worshiped as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel was in charge of the evaluation and promotion of officials all over the world, and was the head of the six departments.

Even the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of the imperial examination, is not as good as the Ministry of Personnel.

It stands to reason that even if Mr. Kang has passed away, Uncle Kang will not be at the sixth level now based on his connections back then.

However, Uncle Kang was unable to hold up the wall because of the mud, and even a few children came out during the disturbance.

If someone brought him to an official's house, he would be immediately dismissed from office.

In ancient times, after the death of their parents, their children had to go home and observe mourning for three years, which was also called Dingyou.

According to the rules, during the period of sex, one needs to fast, bathe, and not touch women.

But in fact, it is not so strict. Basically, it is only necessary to follow the regulations in the first year, but it is different after giving birth to a child.

It is precisely because of this that those who are favored by the old man of the Kang family don't bother to care about him.

Later, for the sake of Mrs. Kang, the officials reinstated the official position, but now they are only in the sixth rank.

"Uh~"

Aunt Kang thought that if Yuan Wenshao spoke out to comfort her, she would take the opportunity to ask Yuan Wenshao to help her, but she didn't expect Yuan Wenshao to say that.

She couldn't say that because her husband couldn't afford it, no one with the Kang and Wang family's connections was willing to help him.

But Aunt Kang is Aunt Kang after all, and she came up with another plan, saying: "Oh, your uncle is already at this age, so it's the same if he is promoted or not. But your cousin is still young, he is 15 years old this year, There is no one official, so Erlang can see if he can find a job for him?"

"Aunt Kang, maybe my uncle will be able to serve as an official in a few years. My cousin is not very old and is not in a hurry to enter the officialdom. Whether it is the imperial examination or waiting for the official position, it is better than being a martial artist, right?" Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Aunt Kang's son, Yuan Wenshao remembered, seemed to be a good person.

But once she agrees, Aunt Kang will not be able to get rid of this trouble in the future.

Some people are like this, just give some sunshine and it will be brilliant.

Aunt Kang is undoubtedly such a person.

"Erlang is right." Aunt Kang forced a smile.

Dazhou gave preferential treatment to civil servants, and one of the rules was that officials of the fifth rank and above could have a son.

To put it bluntly, officials above the fifth rank can choose an heir, and they do not need to take the imperial examination to become an official directly.

But with Uncle Kang's current situation, there is not much hope in this life.

As for the imperial examination, there are only a few hundred people every three years. She really doesn't think her son will be able to pass the exam.

But Yuan Wenshao didn't refuse directly, instead he said that I was thinking about you, what can Aunt Kang say?
The goal was not achieved, and Aunt Kang felt a little depressed afterwards.

Madam Yuan also saw Aunt Kang's purpose at this time, but she didn't help to persuade her.

Just kidding, Yuan Wenshao was ennobled, and her own mother hasn't taken advantage of it yet, so why let outsiders take advantage of it?
Even if she wanted to help, it was to help her natal family.
