Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 68 Change
When Hualan was having a headache about family matters, Yuan Wenshao came to Earl Zhongqin's Mansion.

Under the leadership of Yuan Weichang, the imperial decree was enshrined, incense sticks were placed on the ancestors, and the family returned to the main hall.

"Mom and dad, when the imperial edict was granted, the officials also rewarded me with some things. My child specially sent some to my parents."

Yuan Wenshao said, calling his servants to bring the things in.

"Mother likes to drink tea the most. This time, the officials rewarded the white-glazed teacup from the official kiln, and the child specially brought it for mother." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Normally, Mrs. Yuan would be happy after hearing this, but now she is not happy.

As a mother-in-law, she did not get a royal decree, but a newly married daughter-in-law got a royal decree. How could she be happy?

"Forget it, you can take it over and use it at home. By the way, why doesn't your wife come with you? Is it possible that because of your imperial edict, even your father-in-law and mother-in-law don't look down on you?" Mrs. Yuan curled her lips and said.

"Mom, Hua Lan and I went shopping in Bianjing with my relatives yesterday, and we just sent them off early this morning. Hua Lan didn't even have time to find out about the situation at home, and is now busy sorting out the situation at home. Therefore, the child did not let her Come here." Yuan Wenshao explained.

Yuan Weichang nodded and said: "This is business. She takes care of things at home so that men can not worry about the affairs of the back house. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask her to ask your mother."

"How could I teach her?" Mrs. Yuan said in a sour tone.

Yuan Wenshao could see that her mother was jealous of Hua Lan's appointment.

"Mother, the official family just gave Hua Lan an imperial order, and it's not easy for my son to ask for it. After a while, my son will ask the official family for an imperial order for my mother." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Really?" Madam Yuan stood up in surprise.

Yuan Weichang glared at his wife, then looked at Yuan Wenshao and said, "Erlang, are you sure?"

Although the imperial edict is just a kind of honor, it is something that others have. If you usually go to other people's homes to attend banquets, you always feel that you are inferior to others.

However, in order to reflect the value of imperial orders, officials will not award rewards casually.

Normally, officials of fifth rank or above can apply for imperial titles for their wives and mothers, but few people take the initiative to apply for imperial titles.

Because even if you take the initiative to request a seal, the officials will not agree.

Otherwise, other officials will follow suit and we can’t all be banned, right?

What is so precious about such a commandment?

However, the Yuan family's situation was special. It stands to reason that Mrs. Yuan should be granted a royal title. However, after the Yuan family was restored to the nobility, the official family was not granted the title.

Yuan Weichang had been cautious after the Yuan family was restored to the throne, and did not dare to mention it for fear of offending the officials.

"Father, no matter what, my mother, husband and son are the ones who should be granted the title by the earl. However, the official has just granted the title to Hua Lan. It is not appropriate for the child to ask for the title now. After a while, the child will ask the official to grant the title. Feng, I guess it’s not a big problem.” Yuan Wenshao said.

"Erlang, you should be happy with this. Mom usually goes to banquets, but she often gets the glares from those people." As soon as Mrs. Yuan heard that her family had the opportunity to be granted a royal title, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared instantly.

"Don't worry, mother, the children will remember it." Yuan Wenshao said.

He didn't fool Mrs. Yuan with this matter, but seriously thought about it.

He and the Yuan family were both prosperous and both were prosperous. He was a little too naive to think that he would be able to get rid of the relationship with the Yuan family if he became a knight and became self-reliant.

And asking for the imperial order for the mother, firstly, it can ease the relationship between mother and child, and secondly, Madam Yuan will not be too embarrassing for Hua Lan if she has the imperial order.

"Well, this matter cannot be rushed." Yuan Weichang nodded, and said to his wife: "You must not rush Erlang about this matter, understand?"

"Guardian, don't worry, I'm not a careless person." Mrs. Yuan said.

Yuan Weichang was noncommittal to Mrs. Yuan's words. It's not that he didn't realize that Mrs. Yuan secretly subsidized her natal brothers all these years, but she just didn't bother to say it.

He and Mrs. Yuan have been close since childhood, but when the Yuan family was dismissed, Mrs. Yuan's father was still alive, and the Feng family did not decline.

But the Feng family not only did not terminate the engagement, but also helped the Yuan family a lot. This is why he has tolerated his wife all these years.

"Dad, the officials have asked me to go to the Western Suburbs Camp in five days to take up my post. I don't know much about the situation in the Western Suburbs Camp. I would like to ask my father to give me a few words." Yuan Wenshao said respectfully.

"Let's go, let's go to the study." After Yuan Weichang finished speaking, he got up and walked to the study.

Yuan Wenshao bowed to his mother, brother and sister-in-law, and followed them.

After the two left, Mrs. Feng said to Mrs. Yuan: "Mother, why did you forget to tell Erlang about helping Brother Xian find an errand?"

Feng's natal family has a younger brother who is in the same grade as Yuan Wenshao. He usually looks for flowers and asks Liu if he is doing business.

Speaking of which, the Feng family is also a scholarly family. Mrs. Yuan's father was a minister of the Ministry of Punishment at that time. Feng's father, Mrs. Yuan's brother, also found an official position through the influence of his ancestors.

Unfortunately, when he was an official, he embezzled money and was impeached. At that time, the old man of the Feng family had passed away. The officials looked at him and dismissed him from office, confiscated his family property, and did not exile him.

Because of this incident, no one in the connections left by Mr. Feng wanted to associate with the Feng family anymore.

Fortunately, the Feng family also has relatives from the Yuan family. With Mrs. Yuan's help, life is not difficult, and they even married their daughter to the eldest son of the Yuan family.

But Feng's younger brother was extremely naughty and had no hope of taking the imperial examination.

In the past, the Yuan family was having a hard time and had no ability to help. Now that Yuan Wenshao is prosperous, the Feng family will naturally not let go of the opportunity.

When Feng returned to her parents' home two days ago, her father and mother told her about this matter.

After Mrs. Feng came back, she thought about it carefully, and found that Mrs. Yuan had to do something about it, and she had told Mrs. Yuan before.

Mrs. Yuan also wanted to help her nephew find an official position, so naturally she would not refuse.

Originally, yesterday was a good opportunity, but because Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan came to offer tea almost at noon, Madam Yuan got angry and forgot.

When Yuan Wenshao came over today, Mrs. Feng even mentioned it specifically.

Mrs. Yuan was very angry at first. In addition to being jealous of Hua Lan's appointment, her other purpose was to make a few concessions before raising the matter, making it difficult for Yuan Wenshao to refuse.

In the end, Yuan Wenshao said that he would ask for a royal order for her, but how could she remember it.

"It's okay. Erlang will finish talking to his father later, and I'll just tell him." Mrs. Yuan waved her hand and said.

Because Yuan Wenshao offered to help her apply for a royal decree, Mrs. Yuan felt that her filial son was back again, and he spoke with confidence.

Yuan Wenshao didn't know this. He followed his father to the study. Yuan Weichang and other servants served tea and sent everyone away.

"Tell me, what do you want to know about the western suburbs camp?" Yuan Weichang asked.

"Father, I want to know something about the interpersonal relationship and basic situation of Daying in the western suburbs." Yuan Wenshao said.

The basic situation he talked about was naturally not something that everyone knew, but some hidden situations.

Yuan Weichang pondered for a while and said: "There are twenty battalions of soldiers and horses in the western suburbs camp, each battalion has 2 soldiers and horses, and there are 40 soldiers and horses in total. The nominal commander of the camp is the British Duke, but in addition there are two deputies. Commander, these two deputy commanders are the confidants of the official family and must not be offended."

"In addition, the generals of each battalion in the western suburbs camp basically belong to three factions in the army." Yuan Weichang said.

"Three factions?" Yuan Wenchang looked at his father in confusion. This was the first time he had heard this statement.

"The three factions in the army are Jiangnan, North and Northwest. Among them, Jiangnan is the weakest. After all, the enemies of the Great Zhou Dynasty are in the north and northwest. Among them, the northern faction is the strongest." Yuan Weichang introduced.

Yuan Wenshao nodded, Bei Liao was the biggest enemy of Zhou Dynasty, and it was normal for the northern faction to be stronger.

"Dad, which faction does our Yuan family belong to?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

He knew that Yuan Jiazu was a general in the Northwest, and logically he should belong to the Northwest, but when he first wanted to join the army, Yuan Weichang wanted him to go to the North, which made him a little confused.

"No one from our Yuan family has joined the army for many years. Strictly speaking, it doesn't count as one faction. Moreover, the relationship between the three factions is not what you think. The royal family has always been suspicious of generals, so generals from the north do not dare to fight with the northwest. Or the military generals from the south of the Yangtze River. In the same way, the generals from the northwest and the generals from the south of the Yangtze River will not interact with each other, and gradually they form so-called factions." After Yuan Weichang finished speaking, he added: "But because you made your contribution in the northwest , the Yuan family is now considered to be of the northwest lineage. Therefore, when you enter the camp in the western suburbs, don’t get too close to people from the north and Jiangnan lineages.”

Yuan Wenshao nodded, he understood that the so-called three circles were only formed to prevent officials from being suspicious.
