Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 69 Hua Lan's Guess

After chatting with his father in the study for a long time, Yuan Wenshao knew many secrets about the military.

It was not until the evening that the father and son left the study.

Mrs. Yuan waited in the main hall all afternoon before seeing the father and son come out. She complained a little: "Why does it take so long? The food should be ready, let's eat."

"Mother, Hualan just took charge of the house today, and I don't know what's going on, so the baby won't eat here." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Erlang, Mother has something to tell you." Madam Yuan said.

"Just give me whatever you want," Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"Your cousin, Feng Xian, is married and has children, but he has never been an official. I want you to help me find an official for him." Madam Yuan said.

Yuan Wenshao pondered for a while and said: "Mother, my son's meritorious service was in the northwest, so it doesn't matter in Bianjing. If you want to get an official position, you can only let your cousin go to the northwest."

"Ah, are you going to the northwest?" Mrs. Yuan hesitated upon hearing this.

Northwest has not been very peaceful in recent years. She knew that her maternal nephew was not very capable, so she naturally did not want him to go.

"If you want to stay in Bianjing, you have to find a relationship." Yuan Wenshao said.

In fact, it's not difficult for him to arrange someone. Liu Lei has already taken up the post in Wucheng Military Division, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask him to help.

But Yuan Wenshao couldn't agree too readily, otherwise Mrs. Yuan would find it too easy and would be in trouble if she often asked him to arrange appointments in the future.

"Don't trouble Erlang." Yuan Weichang scolded.

"Why do you call it troublesome? Brother Xian is my natal nephew and Erlang's cousin, what's wrong with helping relatives?" Madam Yuan retorted.

"Father and mother, stop arguing. Mother is right. Relatives should help. I will think of a way later." Yuan Wenshao said.

Madam Yuan was very satisfied with her son's attitude, and said, "Erlang, it's fine if it's difficult."

"Mom, it's a little troublesome, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Yuan Wenshao said.

……

On the way back, Yuan Wenshao wondered where he should arrange for Feng Xian.

To be honest, it is not difficult for him to arrange for someone to get an official position. He has no choice but to get a ninth-rank military position.

The only thing that worries me is Feng Xian.

He knew this cousin very well. He was usually lazy, but if he asked Liu Lei to help him get into the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, he would feel a little sorry if he made some trouble and caused trouble for Liu Lei.

"Why don't you arrange for him to be with you?"

Yuan Wenshao thought about it and felt that this method is not bad.

Arrange it under his own eyes, and he can clean it up as he wants. If his sister-in-law messes with him later, he will clean up Feng Xian. When the time comes, give Feng Xian a hint and ask him to talk to his sister, his sister-in-law Just be honest.

Before this sister-in-law had passed, he and his mother and brother Yuan Wenchun had a good relationship.

After all, it is his own son, and Madam Yuan is not so ruthless if she is partial.

However, ever since this sister-in-law came in, the relationship between the two brothers would be bad, and even the mother became more and more partial.

If he could make his sister-in-law honest, the family would be much more stable.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wenshao smiled.

"What happy things did the lord think of?" Zhang An said with a smile.

When Yuan Wenshao heard Zhang An's words, he came back to his senses, remembered what he had said to Hua Lan before, shook his head and said, "Zhang An, have you seen those two maids next to the eldest lady? What do you think?"

Zhang An shook his head quickly when he heard the words, and said, "I don't dare to look at the maid next to the eldest lady."

Generally, a personal maid like this might become a concubine.

"Don't worry, I told the eldest lady today that I want to choose one of them to betroth to you, and I want to ask your opinion." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Thank you so much, my lord, my lady. It's too late to express my gratitude. If you have any opinions, it's all up to my lord and lady to make the decision." Zhang An said.

"What I mean is that giving the hairpin to your eldest lady means giving you the emerald cicada. So I want to ask which one you like." Yuan Wenshao said.

Zhang An whispered: "My lord, my little Zhong Yi Cuichan."

"You have to think about it, the colorful hairpin is much prettier than Cuichan, so don't worry about it."

Yuan Wenshao is now more inclined to marry Cuichan to Zhang An, but he is worried that Zhang An chooses because of his concerns.

After all, we will live together with Zhang An in the future. In case Zhang An doesn't like it, he is also responsible for the couple's unhappy life in the future.

As for Caizan's small thoughts, Yuan Wenshao thinks about it carefully, and it's not a big deal.

As a maid, it's normal to have such thoughts.

"Thank you, my lord, but I think Cuichan looks better." Zhang An scratched his head and said.

Yuan Wenshao looked at Zhang An as if he was telling lies and was slightly startled. Could it be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

"You also said that you didn't dare to look carefully, isn't this very clear?" Yuan Wenshao scolded with a smile.

Zhang An and Yuan Wenshao grew up together, so it was natural to hear that Yuan Wenshao was not angry, he just smiled and didn't speak.

"If you want it, you want it. I don't know if Cuichan wants it or not. I'll ask the eldest lady to ask later. If she doesn't reject it, I will return your life deeds and let you get married." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Thank you, my lord." Zhang An said gratefully.

Back in the mansion, Yuan Wenshao asked a servant to ask, and when he learned that Hua Lan was in the backyard, he went directly to the backyard.

After entering the room, I saw Hua Lan sitting in front of the table, writing something, and there were many account books on the table.

Hualan didn't notice that Yuan Wenshao came in. The sound of salutes from the maids in the room was heard, and she knew that Yuan Wenshao was back, and she quickly stood up to salute.

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand, came to the table, glanced at the account books on the table, and said with a smile: "Young lady is the first to run the house, how do you feel?"

"Chaos." Hua Lan said: "Let's not talk about the chaos in the arrangements of the people in the house. After all, the house has just been opened, but there is not even an accountant in the house, and Mama Qian is managed by an illiterate person."

Hualan thought that Qian's mother was Yuan Wenshao's nanny, so she was afraid that he would misunderstand her, so she explained: "I am not saying bad things about Qian's mother. Although Qian's mother is illiterate, she is quite qualified in managing the accounting room, and all items are registered. Now, there is no need to re-count. But it won’t work in the long run.”

Yuan Wenshao was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, how could he take care of such family matters.

There were dozens of servants in the house, and there were a lot of messy things, and he threw them all directly to Qian's mother.

"Isn't there no mistress before? Now that you are here, I believe you can take care of it." Yuan Wenshao said, holding Hua Lan's shoulders.

Hua Lan was hugged suddenly, and said with a blushing face, "Officer, other problems are easy to solve. It's just about the accountant. I really can't do anything about it. This kind of thing must be done by a gentleman who knows how to settle accounts. Only the people who live there can do it.”

The accountant manages the family's finances, and through some accounts, it is easy to understand the details of the mansion.

Moreover, some families also have some secret income, which cannot be hidden from the accountant.

Therefore, Mr. Accountant cannot just recruit anyone at will.

Yuan Wenshao smiled and said: "Madam, these are all trivial matters. Tomorrow we will go to my parents' place to say hello. Then we will ask my parents for two capable men to come back."

Hua Lan raised her head in surprise when she heard this, and looked at Yuan Wenshao.

Yesterday at Uncle Zhongqin's residence, she felt that Yuan Wenshao and his parents were too divided.

After summoning her servants this afternoon, she naturally felt very strange that Mama Qian was the only old man in the house.

It stands to reason that Yuan Wenshao lives in a separate residence, as parents, he should send some old servants over.

When she went to the warehouse, she specifically asked Mama Qian about it.

Mother Qian told her that it wasn't that Uncle Zhongqin's mansion didn't give it.

For the housewarming banquet and the subsequent wedding banquet, most of the servants of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion were transferred to help. Mrs. Yuan also said before that she would leave some for Yuan Wenshao.

But Yuan Wenshao refused because the eldest lady hadn't passed the door yet, and he would wait until the eldest lady passed the door.

After learning this, combined with yesterday's situation, Hua Lan always felt that Yuan Wenshao wanted to draw a line with Uncle Zhongqin's residence.
