Chapter 24 Appreciation Banquet

Gu Yan's funeral was extremely mournful and honorable. He has been an upright person for many years, and he has promoted countless disciples and old officials, and Yuan Wenshao is actually one of them.

After Gu Yan finished his funeral, he calmed down for a while. In the middle, he heard Changbai say that Gu Tingye had left Beijing, and Mrs. Wang said that the old lady brought Minglan back to Youyang’s hometown. The old lady in the eldest house of the Sheng family seemed to be dying soon Yes, I also heard that Qi Heng, the Duke of Qi, and Princess Pingning had a quarrel for some reason recently, anyway, it was all miscellaneous parents who were at odds with each other.

None of this has much to do with Yuan Wenshao, he just listened to Mrs. Wang when she was chatting with Hua Lan, but there was one thing that had something to do with him, someone wanted to take a concubine for him again!
Speaking of which, it has something to do with Aunt Kang. Ever since Hualan became pregnant and Mrs. Wang helped with the housekeeping, Aunt Kang came to visit from time to time, and each time she either brought Kang Zhaoer or other concubine daughters. In short, she was pretty.

Later, some rumors came out, saying that Mrs. Weiyuanhou was jealous, and that she would not allow Weiyuanhou to take concubines and so on!

Yuan Wenshao understood what was going on, and Hua Lan also noticed it, but Mrs. Wang didn't know what was going on, she was very unhappy at first, she rolled her eyes for a few days, and then suggested that Yuan Wenshao accept the concubine of Aunt Kang's family and let Yuan Wenshao I don't know whether to laugh or cry, this mother-in-law is so stupid and cute.

He is not very active about taking concubines now, and he is even more unwilling to take concubines from the Kang family. If you say that Kang Zhaoer is actually not bad, she is also beautiful and knows how to behave, but Aunt Kang is a snake-like character. It would be good if we were directly attached to the Kang family, this cornered relative is already disgusting enough, besides, Kang Zhaoer is actually not far from being a concubine with others, so I will let Mrs. Sheng arrange it according to the original book. It is appropriate for others to be the main room.

Think again about Zhu Manniang who is weak and can't take care of herself, Lin Sushuang with pear blossoms and rain, the concubines in this TV series are quite powerful in fighting outside!It would be really bad if there was such a person in his family, besides, the battle for the crown prince is about to become a hot topic, let's delay it for now!
One day, the internal officials suddenly came to announce Yuan Wenshao's entry into the palace. Yuan Wenshao went to the palace to see that there were many generals, so he knew in his heart that there must be another war somewhere.

Sure enough, some rebels took the opportunity to rebel during the severe drought in the Southwest, but the scale was not large. There are some differences, some think that the Beijing camp should be dispatched, some think that there is no war in the northwest, and some frontier troops can be mobilized from the northwest, and some think that a few regiment training camps around the southwest will be enough.

Yuan Wenshao remembered that the rebels didn't seem to be making any major movements at this moment, and they didn't mobilize any Beijing camp or Northwest Army. However, for the sake of safety, he also suggested that a small number of Northwest elites be dispatched to cooperate with the local regiment training camp. The distance of the Northwest Army should be a little closer. Act quickly, presumably the traitors will not be able to resist!

In the end, Renzong adopted this suggestion, and then everyone withdrew, and several adults left after a few pleasantries.

After a while, good news came. The main force of the rebels was attacked and scattered. However, it depends on the follow-up actions of the local government. If the people can be appeased quickly, the rebellion will quickly subside. Otherwise, it will be a bit troublesome.

On this day, the old lady Sheng came back from Youyang's hometown with Minglan, Yuan Wenshao took Hualan to visit together, the old lady saw Hualan and said angrily:

"You have a big belly, why come here! You should be at home to raise your baby with peace of mind!"

Hua Lan rubbed her stomach, she was pregnant now, and smiled:
"It's not so delicate, the doctor said it's good to move around more!"

Rulan and Minglan were chattering at the side, not knowing what to say, and suddenly Rulan said to Hualan:
"Sister, the Lantern Festival is coming soon, let's go together then!"

"You girl, your sister has a big belly, can you go to the waiting meeting, it's crowded there!"

Ru Lan stuck out her tongue in embarrassment when she heard the words.Minglan also pursed her lips and smiled.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Yuan Wenshao didn't go out, and Hua Lan couldn't go out, so he stayed at home with Hua Lan. Halfway through the Lantern Festival, Wucheng soldiers and horses began to drive people away. If they didn't send out the Beijing camp, after all, they were just looking for someone, not fighting.

The news of Rong Feiyan's suicide came out within a few days. Yuan Wenshao really felt that King Yong's family was looking for death. The crown prince hadn't been appointed yet, so he acted without fear. Then Rong Feiyan's brother was still the deputy commander of the imperial army. , isn't this forcing the Rong family and King Yan to rebel together!
Even Yuan Wenshao didn't want to see King Yong enthroned as emperor in his heart, he was tyrannical at best, and an idiot at worst.

Seeing that the officials were seriously ill and the rebellion was imminent, Yuan Wenshao made rare trips to the Beijing camp to stabilize the morale of the army.

Rong Feiyan's death was like a butterfly flapping its wings a few times, without causing any big waves for the time being, and the old hustle and bustle in the capital resumed.

That day, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion next door was going to hold a thank-you banquet, and since the Sheng Mansion was also invited, Yuan Wenshao went to the front hall by himself, while Hua Lan and Mrs. Wang, such as Lan Molan and Ming Lan, went to the female relatives in the backyard.

Yuan Wenshao was fine in the front hall, King Yong didn't come, the most honorable ones were the Duke of England and the Duke of Qi. The Duke of England and Yuan Wenshao had a good relationship, and they had stayed together in the Northwest battlefield, and Yuan Wenshao and Zhang Weizhong had a good relationship. Many, as for Qi Guogong, this man is very kind to everyone and has a good personality.

Most of the front halls are filled with military generals, so let's discuss the current chaos in the Southwest together, and the atmosphere is very lively!
The backyard is different, there are a bunch of wives, Concubine Yong, Princess Pingning, and Mrs. British. These three have the highest status. However, the British princess is cold and arrogant, so she basically doesn’t stay in the group of wives, and goes directly by herself. Wenshao Wenshao and Hualan have been to the residence of the British Duke a few times. The British Duke and his wife have a good relationship with the couple, so they went to chat with the Duke and his wife for a while. The eldest lady chased Minglan out,

"Hey, Mrs. Wu, Xiao Liu, why did you come out?"

Mrs. Wu was so angry:

"It's not that Concubine Yong and Princess Ning, who put on airs and pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, I can't bear to come out and have a breath with your Xiaoliu!"

Hua Lan understood as soon as she heard it. She had also heard about Qi Heng and Ming Lan's affairs, and she even persuaded Ming Lan, but Ming Lan usually understands it well. She can only comfort:

"It's okay, Minglan, don't take it to heart, they can only talk, they can't do anything to us!"

Ming Lan had a calm expression on her face, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, big sister, you're so far away from them that you can't hear what they're saying, you just feel bored in the room and come out for a walk!"

Mrs. Wu is also very happy, she just fell in love with Minglan's character, she is not surprised by favor or humiliation, she is not pretentious, she falls in love with Minglan when she sees her, and she is thinking of marrying Minglan as her daughter-in-law, she must be right, she looks good too Liang Han must be able to control their family, he laughed and said:

"In a few days, I will hold a polo club, you two sisters must come, especially you Minglan, you play polo so well, you have the demeanor I used to have!"

Hua Lan looked at Madam Wu's attitude towards Ming Lan and was also happy for her. She felt that it would be good for Ming Lan to marry the uncle of Yongchang, and Liang Han was also handsome, and the Earl's wife also liked Ming Lan. This is also a good marriage. , much better than that Princess Pingning whose eyes are higher than the top, so he chimed in and said:
"Don't worry, ma'am, Minglan will definitely go. If she doesn't go, I will force her to go. Don't worry!"

Mrs. Wu was afraid that Minglan would go back on her word, so she hurriedly said:

"Okay, then it's settled, I have something to do and I'll leave first!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't bring Minglan to answer, and left with the envoy directly.

After Mrs. Wu left, Minglan looked at Hualan in embarrassment,

"Big sister, why did you just agree to Mrs. Wu casually, how can I tell my parents later!"

"Don't worry, I'll talk to my parents, if it's really not going to work then, let's take Rulan Molan with me and don't worry!"

Then Ming Lan saw Qi Heng's personal servant in the distance not making winks, so she had to leave with an excuse, while Hua Lan went to the backyard to look for Mrs. Wang.
