Chapter 2 Returning to the Palace
In the 25th year of Yuanfeng in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yuan Wenshao finally returned to the capital where he had been away for three years.

When they and their party arrived in the capital, all the people in the capital came to watch the fun and see the heroes who conquered the West.

Finally, I finally arrived at Uncle Zhongqin's mansion. The door of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion was wide open today, and I saw my father, mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, younger brother who was a concubine, and a group of servants waiting for me at the door.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Yuan Weixin and Mrs. Yuan to salute, and then saluted his brother and sister-in-law one by one, and ordered the steward to arrange a group of personal soldiers, and then walked to the mansion with everyone.

Yuan Wenshao looked at the Earl's Mansion of Zhongqin while walking. After all, he went to the frontier not long after crossing, and basically had no effect on the Earl's Mansion.

The tall and wide pillars and the square stone benches are not as delicate and elegant as the Jiangnan mansions, but they are also bright and bright. Yuan Wenshao walked and watched, turned a few corners, passed several rooms, and shook his head more and more.

The house is spacious and simply furnished. Except for the necessary furniture, there are no gold, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Seeing that the house is not well-off, I am immediately disappointed. It looks like an ordinary official's house. No wealthy family in the capital is willing to marry a daughter into his family.

Thinking about it, this mansion was bought by the Yuan family after it regained its title, and the original earl's mansion was deprived and rewarded to others.

Fortunately, he has another earl's mansion, and the captures, rewards, and salary of the past few years. The salary of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty are almost high salaries. The monthly salary is more than 100 Guan, which is roughly equivalent to the current 15 to 6 RMB. The war salary is doubled, but the salary is small, and those captured on the battlefield are the real gold and silver mountains. There are countless gold and silver calligraphy and paintings, and he has none of them. Checked carefully.

In the front hall, the old man first said to Yuan Wenshao with a gratified face: "Wen Shao, you have honored the lintel of our Yuan family."

The rest of the people are also full of red faces. Yes, their Yuan family has finally changed their luck. They used to be really unable to go up or down. They said they were rich and noble, and the circle of nobles looked down on the Yuan family. .

Now the time has finally turned, a family of two earls, watching and helping each other, especially Yuan Wenshao returned from the army and holds real power, so he is one of the most powerful families in the capital.

Eldest brother Yuan Wenchun was also beaming with joy, and said with a smile on his face:
"Second brother is really up to date this time. The other princes' mansions are looking at us now. I went to Fanlou for a drink yesterday and happened to meet the young prince of Wei Guogong's family. That guy didn't look at us seriously before. You just dragged me to talk nonsense for a long time yesterday!"

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, I immediately felt that today's tea was extraordinarily sweet, took a sip, and said:

"This was before yesterday's knighthood. Today, the court officially confirmed that the second brother was named Zhongyongbo. Our family has two earls from one family, and we are also a decent family in the capital. There was no way to do it before, but now we are here. The dignity of the founder of the country must be recovered."

Everyone talked for a while, and when it was two o'clock, it was dinner time.

Because they are all from their own family, there is no separate table for men and women.

The cold dishes on the table have been set up, a total of eight plates, packed in small five-inch plates: brine elbow flowers, sauced beef, white-cut chicken, dried meat, assorted tofu, shredded pickled melon, clear rice noodles, red oil Bamboo shoots.

After everyone sits down and washes their hands, the hot dishes start to be served. There are also eight plates, seven-inch plates, three delicacies shark's fin, bergamot sea cucumber, steamed sea bass, stir-fried beef river, hand-caught lamb chops, braised lotus seeds in sugar, roasted lily, and fried loofah.

Then, there are four bowls, soft-shelled turtle in broth, stewed chicken soup with mushrooms, chicken wings with winter melon, and boiled cabbage.Then there are two soups, stewed mutton soup and three delicacies meatball soup.

Finally, there are four small snacks, lotus seed cake, bean paste roll, sesame roll, and golden jujube paste cake.

At night, Kaiyang Courtyard,

This is Yuan Wenshao's courtyard. There are five main rooms facing south.

Mrs. Yuan came over with a smile on her face, followed by a kind of servant girl. After greeting each other briefly, Mrs. Yuan said:

"Shao'er, you are now being made an earl, how can a fifth rank of the Sheng family be worthy of you? Do you want to choose another one for you for your mother?"

Yuan Wenshao knew that his mother was a bit out of tune, but he didn't expect her to have such an idea, so he couldn't laugh or cry:

"Mother, if we divorce such a marriage, how do you let outsiders think of our Yuan family! We just got up and turned our tails, treacherous, dislike the poor and love the rich? This is absolutely impossible!"

"You heartless person, I'm not doing this for you, but for our Yuan family. Think about it, the Sheng family is a fifth-rank. He can give our family, you, any help, and it's not bad to back off!"

No matter what Mrs. Yuan said, Yuan Wenshao just refused to agree, not to mention that this matter is not reliable at all, and besides, he still has a good impression of that girl Hua Lan.

Mrs. Yuan felt ashamed seeing her son's refusal to agree, and left angrily.

After Yuan Wenshao also dismissed the servant girl, he went to rest directly, and had to get up early tomorrow to attend the morning court.
