Chapter 12 Return to Beijing

In May, the twenty-seventh year of Yuanfeng,

Yuan Wenshao led the Beijing camp and finally returned to the capital. He first went to the palace to return the military talisman, and then told Emperor Renzong about the specific battle. It was already evening when he returned to the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of Chengyuan, he saw that the plaque on the gate had been changed from Zhongyongbo's Mansion to Weiyuan Hou's Mansion, and the middle door was wide open. Hua Lan and a group of maids and servants were waiting for him at the door.

Yuan Wenshao quickly dismounted, but before he could say anything, the servants and maids at the door saluted together.

"See you Lord Marquis!"

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand to signal them to get up, took Hua Lan's hand, and nodded to Hua Lan,

"I've been at the border for a long time, and I've worked hard for you at home these past few years! Everything is fine at home!"

Hua Lan was both happy and excited. Ever since Yuan Wenshao left Beijing, she had been on tenterhooks every day, fearing that she would suddenly hear some bad news. Two months ago, the father-in-law from the palace suddenly came to deliver an imperial edict and made her a Marquise, a second-grade imperial concubine.

Only then did she know that Yuan Wenshao had been granted the title of Marquis, and she also knew that he would return to Beijing soon, so she felt relieved.

"No, no, Lord Marquis fights on the battlefield every day, so that's hard work. I have nothing to do at home!" He touched the tears on his face and continued:

"I should be happy. I think the Marquis is already hungry at this time. I specially prepared the dishes that the Marquis likes to eat."

Cuichan beside Hua Lan reminded:

"Madam, the Marquis has been tired from traveling all the way, so he should go and wash up first. The servant has already arranged for the servants to boil hot water. The madam has personally prepared food for the Marquis. It won't be too late to eat after the Marquis has finished washing.

"

Hua Lan quickly said:

"That's right, I'm so happy that I'm confused. Lord Marquis, go wash up first, and then I'll go take a look at the food!"

After washing up, he went to the vestibule. Hua Lan was already waiting for him at the dining table.

"It's better to eat at home. Well, it's all my favorite food."

Yuan Wenshao was fond of all kinds of meat, especially beef and mutton. Hua Lan also knew that he had specially prepared a lot of dishes this time, such as hand-caught lamb chops and soy sauce beef.

"If you like to eat, Lord Marquis, eat more. Lord Marquis has worked hard on the expeditions these past few years. Now that you're home, you need to take a good rest!"

After eating and drinking, Yuan Wenshao suddenly sighed,

“Actually, my favorite is another dish!”

Hua Lan was puzzled and asked hurriedly:

"What kind of dish? Lord Marquis, tell me. I'll let them prepare it next time."

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand and asked the servants to get down. He suddenly hugged Hua Lan and said with a wicked smile:

"That dish is you, haha!"

What followed was another battle on the battlefield (I won’t describe it, I’ll just make up my own mind).

After they were done, the two of them chatted.

Hualan also told Yuan Wenshao what happened at home and abroad in the past two years, such as the Sheng family hired a teacher, Mr. Zhuang, the young princes of Qi Guogong's family went to the Sheng Mansion to study, Sheng Changbai passed the imperial examination last year, etc.

As if remembering something, Yuan Wenshao suddenly asked:

"In the past few years, my mother won't often call you to fight the rules, right?"

Hua Lan's expression suddenly changed, and she forced a smile and said:

"No. My mother-in-law treats me very well."

Yuan Wenshao understood and repaid Hua Lan with force, saying softly:

"It's okay, I'll be fine when I get back! Let's just hurry up and get busy with the big things in life. It'll be fine when you get pregnant and have a baby."

After saying that, he rushed forward.

Early the next morning, after the two of them got up and freshened up, they prepared to go to Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion after breakfast. They had already arranged that there would be two uncles' homes in Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion today, and the Sheng family in Jiying Lane tomorrow, and they would have to go to one the day after tomorrow.

I went to Uncle Shoushan's house. Mrs. Shoushan was Yuan Wenshao's biological aunt.

These are the only families that need to be visited. When Uncle Zhongqin's house was deprived of his title, many relationships had fallen out and we had not contacted him for decades, so there were not many elders who needed to visit.

When they arrived at Uncle Zhongqin's residence, Yuan Wenchun and his wife were already waiting at the door. The two couples exchanged pleasantries and entered the vestibule together.

Uncle Yuan and Mrs. Yuan were sitting in the main hall together. Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Salute to father and mother!"

Uncle Yuan said with a happy face:

"Okay, Shao'er, you have surpassed your ancestors. Now that you have been granted the title of Marquis of Weiyuan, our Yuan family has become the first-class family in the capital!"

After saying this, he proudly stroked his beard. Apparently, Uncle Yuan was quite proud of his son's success. After all, it was his own seed, not his own. The Yuan family finally surpassed its past glory in his own hands.

Mrs. Yuan's face was also glowing. In the past, when she went out to socialize, the ladies didn't look at her seriously. Firstly, Zhongqin's Mansion itself was in decline, and secondly, she was also known as a fool. But now,

There are a lot of people flattering her wherever she goes. She has never enjoyed such treatment in her life.

"Yeah, our Shao'er is really good!" He nodded while saying, and then said:

"But Shao'er, don't just think about your own future. Your uncle's cousin Zhang has no errands yet. You can arrange it later. I have already promised your aunt!"

When Yuan Wenshao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. His uncle's family were all unworthy and had no future, especially his cousin, who was only two years older than him. He was already a frequent visitor to Qin Lou Chu Pavilion and Goulan Washe. He was as skinny as a stick and had double eyes.

black green,

"Cousin Zhang, since my mother agreed, I can arrange it myself. When I was a prince, my short-term relationship was in the army. My cousin is so noble that he can't stand the hardships in the army. Besides, I am leading the army this time.

I only have one thousand left when I come back from ten thousand, which was all lost in the war. If something happens to my cousin in the future, how can I be worthy of my uncle? Mother, don’t you think so?"

Old Uncle Yuan glared at Mrs. Yuan hard. If his daughters-in-law hadn't been there, he would have cursed loudly. He really regretted marrying such a fool. That family was full of mud and couldn't hold up the wall. Get it from the uncle's house.

It's nothing more than a monetary subsidy, but it's an insult to the nose. Arranging something like that, if something happens in the future, wouldn't it be someone who can take control of it?

Yuan Wenchun quickly smoothed things over and said something good about you, me, and him.

Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan had dinner together at Uncle Zhongqin's house, and then went to the house of two uncles. Yuan Wenshao and his two uncles had been wronged in the past few years. The wealth of the uncle's house was not theirs, but they still ran away from the disasters in the uncle's house.

No, when the uncle's house seized the title, they also confiscated their family property. The two uncles originally had Yin Guan, but later they were taken away because of Zhongqin's house. Later, when the uncle's house was resurrected, their Yin Guan was gone.

Yuan Wenshao's parents were named according to the etiquette of loyalty and trust. His father Yuan Weixin, second uncle Yuan Weili, third uncle Yuan Weiyi, and an uncle died very early.

The second uncle, Yuan Weili, and his family were kind people and had no quarrel with the Earl's Palace over the matter of seizing titles and property. After he was granted the title of Uncle Zhongyong, the second uncle did not have any demands. On the contrary, he felt a little indebted, so he arranged for a few cousins.

Errands.

The third uncle, Yuan Weiyi, was a somewhat shrewder person. He immediately distanced himself from the relationship after seizing the title, and came closer to Uncle Zhongqin after he was restored to the title.

In recent years, Zhongqin's house has been neither embarrassed nor embarrassed, and the two houses have had some contact with each other.

After visiting the second uncle, it was already evening when the third uncle came back. After Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan had dinner, Hua Lan was busy with the housekeeping in the backyard. Thank you for your help. Yuan Wenshao didn't even look at it. He went directly to the courtyard to practice two sets of marksmanship.

In the evening, he was busy with the important matter of having children as usual. After all, they had been married for several years. If it hadn't been for the previous border war, he might have become a father by this time.
