Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 92 Hearing the Wind (please subscribe)
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Sheng Hong introduced with a smile: "Mother, this is the courtyard where you and your father lived. My son had it cleaned and repaired, and it is also called Shou'antang."

Old Mrs. Sheng looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard with some nostalgia. It took a while before she came back to her senses and said, "This is the main courtyard. You can just live in it. I, an old woman, can just set up a courtyard."

"What are you talking about, mother? Don't you still have Minglan and Changlin around you? Naturally, you have to live in a bigger house. Guanren and I live in Zuokuaoyuan. If someone opens up the yard next to it, it will be big." ." Mrs. Wang smiled.

In the past, Lin Xiaoniang often came out to cause trouble for her in Yangzhou. After coming to Bianjing, Lin Xiaoniang became more honest. She basically stayed in Linqige and rarely came out.

Sheng Hong often spent the night at her place and became much more indifferent to Lin Xiaoniang.

Mrs. Wang's mood also improved, her anger towards the old lady was relieved a lot, and she spoke very beautifully.

In fact, he didn't know that because Sheng Hong had just arrived in Bianjing, his aunt was not here, and there were rumors spreading outside, how could he dare to pamper Lin Xiaoniang.

It was no secret that he doted on his concubines in Yangzhou, but in Bianjing he did not dare to do so for fear of being caught.

In any case, it was the filial piety of Sheng Hong and Mrs. Wang, and the old lady would not refuse. She nodded and entered the hall with Sheng Hong's help.

As soon as she entered the hall, Mrs. Sheng turned around, looked at a woman following behind, and said, "Brother-in-law, come in quickly. I was so happy to see this junior that I forgot to introduce him to you."

Sheng Hong and Wang were just talking to the old lady and didn't pay attention to who was following them.

At this time, after hearing the old lady's words, he saw a woman following behind him, leading a seven or eight-year-old girl.

Hearing the old lady call the other party's in-laws made her even more confused.

After the old lady introduced her, they found out that she was Shulan's future mother-in-law. Sheng Hong smiled and said hello.

Although Mrs. Wang also said hello, she was a little cold.

Mrs. Fang bowed slightly cautiously and didn't know what to say for a while.

The old lady saw all this and said, "Okay, let's go in and talk."

After everyone sat down and chatted for a while, the old lady said: "By the way, has Zhuang Xuexue given a reply? Changbai and the others can't delay their studies. Brother Hang will also take the imperial examination in two years. If Zhuang Xuexue then Since there has been no reply from Bian, we have to make other plans.”

"Don't worry, mother, Zhuang Xuexue has already replied to the letter a few days ago, and he will arrive in Bianjing soon. Counting the days, it will be soon." Sheng Hong said with a smile.

Zhuang Xuexue was originally a scholar, but failed many times. Frustrated, he opened a private school to teach students.

Unexpectedly, although Zhuang Xuexue was only averagely talented in the imperial examination, he was very good at teaching students. Among the students he taught, seven or eight were admitted to the Jinshi examination, and even more were awarded the imperial examination.

Sheng Changbai had been studying at the official school when he was in Yangzhou, and Sheng Hong would teach in person in his spare time.

The old lady had said several times before that she wanted to hire a famous teacher for Chang Bai, but there had never been a suitable candidate.

Sheng Hong accidentally heard that Zhuang Xuexu was going to close down his private school in old age and return to his hometown to retire, so he proposed to invite Zhuang Xuexu to come to his home to teach Sheng Changbai, and it happened that he could also teach Chang Feng together.

The old lady has also heard of Zhuang Xuexue, so she will naturally not object.

So Sheng Hong wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it.

In the early years, Sheng Hong was kind to Zhuang Xuexu, and Zhuang Xuexu agreed after receiving the letter.

"Mother, you don't know. Many people in Bianjing knew that our family had invited Zhuang Xuexue, so they asked people to come to their homes and wanted to send their children to our private schools. They were all rejected by the officials, except for Qi Guogong's Mansion and Ningyuan. The Hou Mansion couldn't shirk it, so it had no choice but to agree." Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

The young master and the young marquis both want to study in her private school, and Mrs. Wang feels that it is very honorable.

The old lady naturally understood that the so-called difficulty in evading was actually just that she could not afford to offend her. She thought for a while and said, "I don't think Zhuang Xuexue will mind two more students, but there are many new servants in the family, so the rules must be taught well." , we must not lose the face of our Sheng family."

After all, Young Master Qi and Young Marquis Gu are both male foreigners with noble status.

The old lady was worried that the servants in the family would be tempted to follow the dragon and the phoenix and do something that would ruin the family tradition of the Sheng family.

"Don't worry, mother, my son means to use the side courtyard of the middle courtyard as a private school. Normally, except for the elders of his buddies, no one will be arranged to serve him." Sheng Hong said.

"Well, that's a thoughtful consideration." The old lady nodded after hearing this.

Mrs. Wang said: "Mother, I think it is a waste that Zhuang Xuexue only teaches four brothers. I want Ru Lan and Minglan to follow the class."

Sheng Hong glared at Mrs. Wang when he heard this. Mrs. Wang had mentioned this matter before, but he did not agree.

Zhuang Xuexue was able to come because he was asked to teach the girl how to read because of his kindness back then, so he was inevitably unhappy.

It would be okay if I only had my own family, but there are two foreign men, which would be very inconvenient.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang actually mentioned this matter again in front of the old lady.

"Although my daughter's family does not need to be full of knowledge, the most important thing is to be sensible when dealing with people. It is always good to understand more principles through reading. Since they want to learn, they should be treated equally, including Mo Lan." said the wife.

Although the old lady looked down on Lin Xiaoniang, she had no prejudice against the two children. She knew that Mrs. Wang did not want to see Lin Xiaoniang and her two children, so she said this specifically.

"Yes, mother." Mrs. Wang nodded unhappily.

She asked Minglan to go too, just to make a good deal with the old lady. Now the old lady asked Molan to go too, and even though she was deeply unhappy, she couldn't refuse.

But she soon felt relieved. She wanted Ru Lan to study in order to develop a relationship between her daughter and Young Master Qi.

Young Master Qi is the legitimate son of the family and will definitely inherit the title in the future. If he can fall in love with Ru Lan, maybe Ru Lan will become the eldest daughter of the Duke's palace.

In the past, she would not have had this idea. Now that her official has become a Beijing official, although her rank is not high, she is better than noble.

The eldest son-in-law is still an earl, so he may not be unable to reach the Duke's palace.

Ming Lan and Mo Lan went as soon as they went. Anyway, they were concubines, and they didn't pose any threat to their daughter.

"Mother, Zhuang Xuexue may not be willing." Sheng Hong was confused.

The old lady waved her hand and said: "Ask, it's okay if you don't want to. The three sisters have also reached the age of literacy. If Zhuang Xuexiu doesn't want to, just hire another teacher to teach them. Anyway, they don't take the imperial examination, so they can be literate and sensible. ”

After chatting for a while, the maid came in to report that the food was ready.

After everyone moved to the side hall to have dinner, it was already evening, so Yuan Wenshao led Hua Lan to say goodbye and left.

After coming out of Sheng's house, Yuan Wenshao arranged for someone to send Fang Hang's family to the yard they rented in advance.

Originally, Fang Hang's family could live with him, but now that he and Shulan are engaged, it is not suitable to live with him.

Therefore, after the ship docked, Yuan Wenshao sent someone to rent a yard in the outer city.

That's good. After Zhuang Xuexue arrives, it will be much more convenient for Fang Hang to go to the Sheng family to study.

However, Yuan Wenshao originally wanted to find a staff member, but he unexpectedly wanted to find a brother-in-law.

Moreover, Fang Hang still has to study and prepare for the exam, and there are not many people who can help him. He will have to find someone to do it later. "Officer, we are back, and it's time for Zhang An and Cui Chan's marriage." Hua Lan reminded.

"Well, I'll go visit my parents tomorrow, and when I get back, I'll talk to Qian's mother about this." Yuan Wenshao nodded.

Back home, Hua Lan wanted to ask the house steward to ask about the recent situation at home, but Yuan Wenshao stopped her.

Hua Lan was tired from traveling all the way, and Hua Lan was still pregnant, so how could she withstand such a torment.

Early the next morning, the couple got up early, packed up, and headed to Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion with some gifts.

"The child (daughter-in-law) pays homage to his father and mother."

"Haha, don't be too polite."

Yuan Weichang smiled and said: "I heard that your wife is pregnant. I am very happy as a father. I will go to the ancestral hall with me later to put incense sticks on my ancestors and let them know."

"Yes."

Yuan Wenshao responded, looked at Yuan Wenchun and Feng and said, "I have met my brother and sister-in-law."

Hua Lan followed suit, and said with a smile, "This time I brought some rouge powder for my sister-in-law from Jiangnan. I don't know if my sister-in-law likes it or not."

"Haha, Jiangnan's rouge gouache is very famous throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although you can buy it in Bianjing, I don't know if it is authentic or not. My sister-in-law brought it here, so it is of course authentic. Sister-in-law, thank you brother and sister." Mrs. Feng smiled.

When Yuan Wenshao left Beijing, he arranged errands for Kang Jin, and naturally he would not forget to promise Mrs. Yuan.

When her natal brother had an errand, he would have to rely on Yuan Wenshao in the future. Mrs. Feng was also much more polite to the couple.

The only one who is unhappy is Mrs. Yuan. Except for Yuan Wenshao who said a word when he started to salute, she has not said anything until now.

In her opinion, Yuan Wenshao had given face to the Sheng family by taking leave to accompany his parents' family, and he even went to attend the wedding.

Mrs. Yuan originally wanted to put on a show, but Yuan Wenshao would ask a few questions. Who would have thought that Yuan Wenshao acted as if he hadn't seen her, coughed twice, and said, "Erlang, your uncle has a nephew who wants to ask you to arrange an errand." , they are all relatives, if you can help, please help."

Yuan Wenshao: "..."

You think the court is run by my family, and you can arrange errands for whomever you want.

As the so-called one person attains the Tao, the dog ascends to heaven.

He has gained the upper hand, and the arrangement of so few people is not an important position, and no one can say anything about it.

But one on the left and one on the right, can other people have no objections?

It's not that he can't arrange another one, but judging from her mother's appearance, if she agrees easily, there will probably be more in the future.

Yuan Wenshao even regretted agreeing in the first place.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are fewer people in our Yuan family clan? How many people have begged me to tell Erlang to arrange an errand for them, but I have refused. Don't agree casually if you have nothing to do every day." Yuan Weichang was angry. road.

"Why did I just agree casually? Erlang can arrange errands for the Kang family, but what's wrong with arranging one for my relatives?" Mrs. Yuan said unhappily.

"Mom, it's not that the child doesn't make arrangements, it's that we really have no choice now. If we make further arrangements, someone will accuse the child of forming a clique for personal gain, and then my cousin may lose his current position." Yuan Wenshao said.

As soon as Mrs. Feng heard that her brother's errand would be affected, she quickly said: "Mother, what Erlang said is that you should not make it difficult for him."

"Humph." Mrs. Yuan snorted unhappily and said no more.

Yuan Wenshao had breakfast in Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, and went to the ancestral hall with his father to burn incense, chatted for a while, learned about the situation in the court, and then left.

When leaving the house, Yuan Wenshao saw an extra carriage loaded with goods. Yuan Wenshao asked curiously: "This is it?"

Hua Lan smiled and said: "These are some supplements and things for the child that my mother prepared after she heard that I was pregnant."

Yuan Wenshao was startled when he heard this, and the anger he had just felt towards Yuan in his heart also dissipated a lot.

"Guanren, although my mother sometimes goes a little too far, she is your biological mother and she still cares about you in her heart. Sometimes you should just obey her and don't contradict her," Hua Lan said.

Yuan Wenshao shook his head, helped Hua Lan get into the carriage, and after sitting down, he said, "It's not that I want to contradict my mother. If I don't refuse, something like this will happen in the future."

"I'm not asking the official to agree. The official can just think of a way to delay it first, and then say that it can't be arranged after a while. If you refuse so directly, where will your mother's face go? You have to learn from me on this. My mother was a bit unreasonable, but I listened at the time and would never do what she said," Hua Lan said.

"So you have been turning a deaf ear to your mother-in-law's words? I will definitely tell my mother-in-law later." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Hua Lan said angrily: "I'm going to tell you something serious."

"Okay, okay, I will remember it. From now on, I will respond to whatever my mother says. When I can no longer delay, I will tell her that there is nothing I can do." Yuan Wenshao said.

"My mother is a good person. After all, she is your biological mother, so she will not harm you." Hua Lan said.

The couple returned home while chatting. Hua Lan asked him to tell Qian's mother about Zhang An's marriage, while she went to summon the house stewards to learn about the recent situation at home.

Yuan Wenshao told her not to be tired. He went to the main hall and asked someone to find Qian's mother.

"I have met my lord." Qian's mother saluted.

Before, Yuan Wenshao asked Qian's mother not to call her "Master", and Qian's mother agreed every time, but she still called her "Master" every time they met. Later, Yuan Wenshao was too lazy to correct her.

"Mama Qian sat down and said." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Thank you, Lord, but I'd better stand, old lady." Qian's mother thanked her.

Yuan Wenshao gave a wry smile and did not try to persuade her any more. Instead, he said, "Mother Qian, Zhang An is not young anymore, and it's time to get married to Cui Chan. Let's go back and find someone to make a horoscope, set a date, and let them get married."

"Haha, thank you for your concern, Master. I will do as you say." Mother Qian couldn't stop smiling when she thought that her son was about to get married.

"In that case, it's settled. I'll let people buy a house in the outer city later and treat it as a congratulatory gift to them." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Master, you absolutely can't do it. Your master is so kind to us, mother and son, and we can't let you spend any more money." Qian's mother shook her head quickly.

"Okay, it's settled." Yuan Wenshao couldn't refuse.
