Chapter 12 Returning to Beijing
In the 27th year of Yuanfeng, in May,
Yuan Wenshao led the Beijing camp, and finally returned to the capital. First he went to the palace to return the soldier amulet, and then told Emperor Renzong the specific battle. It was already evening when he returned to the mansion.
When he arrived at the gate of Chengyuan, he saw that the plaque on the main gate had been replaced by Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion to Marquis Weiyuan's Mansion, and the middle gate was wide open. Hua Lan led a group of maids and servants waiting for him at the gate.

Yuan Wenshao hurriedly dismounted, before he could speak, the servant girls at the door saluted together,
"See Lord Hou!"

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand to signal them to get up, took Hua Lan's hand, and nodded to Hua Lan,
"I've been in the frontier for a long time, and my family has worked hard for you 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 in fear every day, for fear of hearing some bad news. Two months ago, a father-in-law from the palace suddenly came to deliver an imperial decree to make her a marquis, a second-rank order. Only then did she know that Yuan Wenshao had been made a Marquis, and that he would return to Beijing soon, so she was relieved.

"No, no, Lord Hou fights on the battlefield every day, that's hard work, I have nothing to do at home!" He touched the tears on his face, and continued:
"I should be happy. Lord Hou must be hungry at this time. I specially prepared dishes that Lord Hou likes to eat."

Cuichan next to Hualan reminded:

"Eldest lady, Master Hou has been exhausted all the way, so let him wash up first. The servants have already arranged for servants to boil hot water, and the eldest lady personally served the meal for Master Hou. It will not be too late to eat after Master Hou washes up. "

Hua Lan hurriedly said:
"That's right, I'm so happy that I'm confused, Hou Ye goes to wash up first, and I'll go and see the food!"

After washing up, he came to the vestibule, Hua Lan was already waiting for him at the dining table,
"It's better at home, well, it's all my favorite food."

Yuan Wenshao doesn't like any meat, especially beef and mutton. Hua Lan also knows that this time he specially prepared a lot, such as hand-caught lamb chops, and many dishes of sauced beef.

"Master Hou likes to eat, so eat more. Master Hou has worked hard in the field for the past few years, and he will have to make up for it when he gets home!"

After eating and drinking enough, Yuan Wenshao suddenly sighed,

"Actually, my favorite is another dish!"

Hua Lan was puzzled, and hurriedly asked:

"What kind of dish, Master Hou, tell me, I will let them prepare it next time."

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand to let the servants go down, and suddenly hugged Hua Lan and said with a smirk:
"That dish is you, haha!"

Then there was another fight on the battlefield (not in the description, just make up your own brain).

After it was over, the two chatted,

Hua Lan also told Yuan Wenshao what happened at home and abroad in the past two years, for example, the Sheng family hired a teacher, Mr. Zhuang, all the young masters of the Duke of Qi's family went to study in the Sheng's mansion, Sheng Changbai passed the middle school last year, and so on.

As if remembering something, Yuan Wenshao suddenly asked:
"In the past few years, my mother won't often call you to fight the rules?"

Hua Lan's complexion suddenly changed, and he forced a smile and said:
"No. My mother-in-law treats me very well."

Yuan Wenshao understood, and reported to Hualan vigorously, and said softly:

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

After speaking, he jumped up.

Early the next morning, after the two woke up and cleaned up, they were ready to go to Uncle Zhongqin's mansion after breakfast. It had been arranged that there were still two uncles' homes in Uncle Zhongqin's mansion today, and that they had to go to Sheng's house in Jiying Lane tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Went to Uncle Shoushan's house, Mrs. Uncle Shoushan was Yuan Wenshao's aunt.

Only these few families need to go. When the Duke Zhongqin’s mansion was confiscated, many relationships fell out and have not been contacted for decades, so there are not many elders who need to visit.

When they arrived at Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, Yuan Wenchun and his wife were already waiting at the door. After exchanging pleasantries, they entered the vestibule together.
Uncle Yuan and Mrs. Yuan sat together in the main hall, Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan hurried forward to salute,

"Give father and mother salute!"

Uncle Yuan said with a face full of satisfaction:
"Alright, Shao'er, you have already surpassed your ancestors. Now that you have been granted the title of Marquis of Weiyuan, our Yuan family is already a first-class family in the capital!"

After finishing speaking, he proudly stroked his beard. Obviously, because of his son's fighting spirit, Old Uncle Yuan was also quite proud. After all, it was his own seed, the Yuan family finally surpassed the glory of the past in his own hands.

Mrs. Yuan was also flushed. In the past, when she went out to socialize, those noble ladies would not look at her seriously. One is that Uncle Zhongqin’s mansion itself has declined, and the other is that she is also a well-known fool. How is she doing now? There are a lot of people flattering her everywhere she goes, she has never enjoyed such treatment in her life,
"Yeah, our Shao'er is really good!" He nodded while talking, and then said:
"But Shao'er, don't just think about your own future. Your uncle, Jiazhang, and cousin don't have any work yet. You can arrange it later. I have already promised your aunt!"

When Yuan Wenshao heard it, the corners of his mouth twitched. The uncle's family was incomprehensible and hopeless, especially that cousin, who was only two years older than himself. Wu Qing,
"Cousin Zhang's matter, since my mother agreed, I can arrange it myself. When I was a Marquis, I had short-term relationships in the army, and my cousin, who is rich and precious, can't stand the hardships in the army. Besides, I am leading the army this time. If ten thousand comes back, there will be one thousand left, all because of the war, if something happens to my cousin in the future, how can I be worthy of uncle, mother, don’t you think?”

Uncle Yuan glared at Mrs. Yuan vigorously. If his daughters-in-law were not there, he would have yelled at him a long time ago. He really regretted marrying such a fool. That's all for the money subsidy, and it's a slap in the face. If you arrange such a thing, if something happens in the future, it won't be taken care of.

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

Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan had dinner together at Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion, and then went to the homes of two uncles. These two uncles, Yuan Wenshao, have been wronged in the past few years. The Uncle's Mansion is not as rich as them, but they still escaped from the disaster of the Uncle's Mansion. No, when the Earl's Mansion seized the title, they also confiscated their family property. The two uncles originally had private officials, but they were later taken away because of the crimes committed by the Earl of Zhongqin.

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

The second uncle Yuan Weili's family is a kind person, and there was no quarrel with the Earl's House because of the seizure of the title. After he became Zhong Yongbo, the second uncle didn't have any demands. On the contrary, he felt a little indebted, so he arranged for a few cousins. errands.

The third uncle, Yuan Weiyi, is a bit shrewd. After winning the title, he immediately separated himself from the relationship, and after the reinstatement of Duke Zhongqin's mansion, he leaned over again.

These years, Uncle Zhongqin's mansion has not been embarrassing, and the two mansions are more or less connected.

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 housekeeper in the backyard.

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