Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 89 Retaliation (for Subscription)

When sleeping at night, Yuan Wenshao heard what Hua Lanxu said about the eldest lady, and he admired the eldest lady in his heart.

Hua Lan turned sideways, faced Yuan Wenshao, and said, "Officer, that Sun Xiucai is too hateful, we can't just let her go."

Yuan Wenshao looked at Hua Lan's angry look and felt it was very cute. He kissed her on the face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let him go just like that, but it's not appropriate for me to take action myself."

People sympathize with the weak and are xenophobic.

Compared with Sun Xiucai, Yuan Wenshao is definitely the stronger one. If he retaliates against Sun Xiucai for what happened today, most people will not think it is right. Instead, they will think that Yuan Wenshao is petty and seeking personal revenge.

In addition, he was an outsider, and Sun Xiucai was still from Youyang no matter what.

Yuan Wenshao personally retaliated against Sun Xiucai, and it would not be good for his reputation if word spread.

Reputation is invisible and intangible, but it is very important.

Even though the two had been married for more than a month, Hua Lan still blushed a little embarrassedly.

Hearing this, she suppressed the shame in her heart and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Yuan Wenshao smiled and said: "Do you still remember that Fang Hang from a few days ago? It's almost time to come over. It will be a test for him to handle it then."

He is positioned as a staff member to Fang Hang, who just helps make plans and handle chores.

Don't think that officials handle everything by themselves. The emperor has his ministers to help handle government affairs, and officials also have their own staff.

For example, the master next to the county magistrate is actually a staff member. Normal matters are handled by the staff after asking for help.

Yuan Wenshao has never had such a person around him. Although Zhang An is a long-term follower, he usually runs errands and does some small things.

If there was really something that required using his brain, he really couldn't do it.

If Fang Hang can pass the provincial examination, he still has talent.

Yuan Wenshao wanted to leave Sun Xiucai's affairs to him to see what his abilities were.

Hualan almost forgot about Fang Hang. Hearing this, he said, "Guardian, can Fang Hang handle it well?"

"Haha, you won't know until you try it whether it can be done well. Don't worry, even if he can't do it well, Sun Xiucai's end will not be any better." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Sun Xiucai offended the Sheng family, and with Sheng Wei's status in Youyang, there were plenty of ways to deal with him, and Yuan Wenshao didn't need to take action at all.

……

Early the next morning, in the main hall of the Sheng family.

The new daughter-in-law Wen Shi respectfully served tea to the eldest lady, Mrs. Sheng and Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Wei.

Several elders gave them greeting gifts, and Hua Lan also gave him a emerald gold hairpin.

After Chang Wu and the others paid homage to their sister-in-law, the eldest lady gave a few instructions and asked someone to pass on the food.

Wen was still thinking about serving dishes beside the two old ladies, but the eldest lady waved her hand to stop her, "Why don't our family have so many rules? Come sit down and eat together."

Wen looked at Changsong, saw Changsong nodded, and said salute: "Yes, grandma."

After eating, and waiting for the arrival of Mr. Sanfang and Mr. Sheng, the group arrived at the ancestral hall.

Among the women, only the eldest old lady and the second old lady could enter the ancestral hall, and the rest could only wait outside.

Yuan Wenshao was the son-in-law of the Sheng family, so he was not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, but because of his status, he was allowed to enter.

In the ancestral hall, the servants brought the sacrifices for worship. The third old man stepped forward without hesitation, picked up the sacrificial text that had been prepared long ago, and started reading.

The content is nothing more than telling the ancestors that the eldest grandson of the eldest son is getting married, and he will spread the branches and leaves of the Sheng family in the future.

After reading it, the third old man changed another memorial and continued reading. This time it was about Sheng Changlin's adoption into Sheng Yuan's name.

After reading the sacrificial text, the third old man lit the sacrificial text and placed it in the brazier. Sheng Wei knelt beside the brazier and added paper money into it.

Then, under the command of the chief of ceremonies, everyone took turns to come forward, kowtow and offer incense.

After finishing these tasks, the third old man took down the family tree he enshrined and wrote behind Changsong's name that he married Wenshi, the legitimate daughter of the Jinling Wen family in such and such a month.

In the future, if they have legitimate sons and daughters, they will also be recorded.

After finishing writing, he went to the page of the second room and wrote behind Mrs. Sheng: She gave birth to son Yuan, died in infancy, and adopted a stepchild named Changlin.

After the ink was dry, the third old man closed the family tree and put it back again.

With trembling hands, the old lady held her son's tablet and handed it to the third old lady, who carefully placed the tablet.

According to the rules, people who died young are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and no genealogy is recorded.

The reason for this is that people who die young have no bloodline, so this line is cut off.

However, Sheng Changlin's adoption into Sheng Yuan's name means that his lineage has been passed down, and he can naturally enter the ancestral hall and family tree.

In the eyes of the ancients, those who could not enter the ancestral hall were considered to be lonely ghosts. This was why Mrs. Sheng had always wanted to adopt an heir for her son who had died young.

The eldest lady saw that Mrs. Sheng's body was shaking and her eyes were red. She supported her and comforted her: "Okay, Brother Yuan has entered the ancestral family tree and has a successor. You should be happy."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Mrs. Sheng nodded repeatedly and tried to hold back tears.

After the sacrifice, the ancestral hall was closed again and everyone returned to the main hall.

Not long after Yuan Wenshao sat down, a servant came to inform him that there was a man named Fang Hang outside asking for an audience.Yuan Wenshao asked his servants to take Fang Hang to the courtyard where he lived, apologized and returned to the courtyard.

When he came to the living room, he saw Fang Hang sitting in the living room. When he saw Yuan Wenshao coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted.

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand and asked him to sit down. After he came to the main seat and sat down, he said, "Is your Majesty okay?"

"Thank you uncle for your concern. My mother has taken the medicine for a few days, and her body has recovered." Fang Hang said.

"That's good. By the way, I will return to Beijing in a few days. As my staff, you will definitely go with me. If you are worried about your court and sister, you can take me with you. If they don't want to go, I I will also ask my uncle to take care of me," Yuan Wenshao said.

Hearing this, Fang Hang felt even more grateful to Yuan Wenshao, and said respectfully: "My father's mourning period has passed, and I really can't worry about my mother and sister, so I want to take them with me."

According to ancient rituals, when parents pass away, they need to observe mourning for three years, but the etiquette is not inferior to that of common people.

Therefore, ordinary people only need to observe filial piety for one year.

"Well, when you go back, remember to pack it in advance. When the departure date is confirmed, I will send someone to notify you." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Yes." Fang Hang responded.

Yuan Wenshao pondered for a while and said, "Do you know Sun Xiucai?"

Hearing this, a trace of disdain flashed in Fang Hang's eyes, and he said, "Back to my uncle, I have no contact with this person, but after all, they are both from Youyang. I have heard some of them, but I don't know much about him."

"I want to teach him a lesson, do you have any idea?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

Fang Hang was not surprised at all when he heard this, but asked: "I wonder how big a lesson uncle wants to teach him?"

Yuan Wenshao chuckled and said: "The lesson is, of course, the more profound the better, I don't care how you do it, but you can't do it in my name."

Fang Hang was silent for a while and said, "Uncle, I understand."

Yuan Wenshao nodded and said, "If you need anything, you can ask."

"I need a little silver, and I also need someone to help." Fang Hang said.

Yuan Wenshao didn't ask any more questions and said to Zhang An beside him: "Give him 500 taels of silver and send someone to him."

"Uncle, you don't need so much, 100 taels is enough." Fang Hang said.

"Zhang An, do as he says." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Yes." Zhang An responded.

Zhang An led Fang Hang out and gave him 100 taels of silver as he requested.

He went to Qin Li again and asked him to arrange a smarter person for Fang Hang.

When Qin Li heard that he was going to deal with Sun Xiucai, he simply took action himself.

After they followed Yuan Wenshao, Yuan Wenshao also asked them to move their family members to Bianjing and gave them some land.

Therefore, they were very loyal to Yuan Wenshao. Yesterday, Sun Xiucai wanted to embarrass Yuan Wenshao. After Qin Li and the others found out, they wanted to punish Sun Xiucai immediately, but they did not dare to mess around without Yuan Wenshao's order.

"Mr. Fang, how are we going to deal with Sun Xiucai?"

Qin Li couldn't wait to ask after coming out of Sheng's house.

He knew that Yuan Wenshao wanted to hire Fang Hang as his staff, but Fang Hang did not dare to neglect him.

Fang Hang smiled and said: "No rush, you first find a way to investigate Sun Xiucai's current whereabouts, including who he is in contact with."

Qin Li frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Is it so troublesome? Let's just find a few gangsters to deal with him."

"Hitting him is just some physical pain. The local gangsters know that he has a great reputation. Even if it is for money, how much can they do to him? The most tormenting thing is never the physical pain, but the physical pain. Mental torture." Fang Hang said calmly.

Although Qin Li didn't know what Fang Hang was going to do, he always felt shuddering when he heard Fang Hang's words, so he didn't say much.

Although Fang Hang looked confident, in fact, he had not yet thought about how to deal with Sun Xiucai.

He also probably guessed Yuan Wenshao's purpose to a certain extent, to clean up Sun Xiucai, it is likely that Yuan Wenshao tested him.

It is not difficult to deal with Sun Xiucai. What Qin Li said about finding someone to beat him up was just the last resort. He could also think of many other ways.

But how to make Yuan Wenshao satisfied with him is what he needs to consider most.

Yuan Wenshao was kind to him and satisfied Yuan Wenshao. On the one hand, he was repaying his kindness, and on the other hand, he was also proving his worth to Yuan Wenshao.

Fang Hang thought for a long time and thought of what Sun Xiucai cared about most - fame.

Sun Xiucai's family was poor, so the reason why prominent people in Youyang would invite him to banquets was because he was famous.

And Sun Xiu was so arrogant because of his fame.

Although in Fang Hang's opinion, being a scholar is nothing, he still feels strange in a small place like this.

But the reputation of scholar was something Sun Xiucai paid great attention to.

If Sun Xiucai could be expelled, it would be the best revenge for him.
