Chapter 54 Gu Tingye Returns to Beijing

In the middle of this month, Gu Tingye led the army back to the capital. Because he also won several battles, the officials also arranged a welcome ceremony. All officers and soldiers were rewarded.

The fourth battalion in the northern suburbs had never been assigned a supervisor. This time, taking advantage of Gu Tingye's meritorious service, the officials arranged for Gu Tingye to take charge of it. Now the camp in the eastern suburbs is the British public, and the camp in the western suburbs was originally Yuan Wenshao. No one else is in charge.

Gu Tingye and his wife came to visit Yuan Wenshao and his wife on the third day. None of them were outsiders and sat around the table together. After drinking for a while, Hua Lan took Ming Lan to the back room to have a private conversation, while Gu Tingye and Yuan Wenshao continued to eat. Gu Tingye picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said loudly:
"Second brother Yuan, brother, I have been fighting against the southwest rebels before, and we killed those rebels without leaving any pieces. Brother, I am still a little complacent, this time I will directly fight against the elite of the Liao Kingdom Brother, I just realized that I have underestimated the people of the world! In my conscience, those Liao soldiers are indeed more elite than our Da Zhou!"

Yuan Wenshao also drank a glass. The alcohol content of the wine at this time is not very high, but it is indeed brewed from pure grains, and Yuan Wenshao also likes it very much.

"That's for sure, our Great Zhou, especially the northern army, has been in peace for a long time, and it is not as good as the Northwest Army. The Liao Kingdom has fought with the Jurchen several times in a row. The experience is far superior to ours. Wait, wait. When the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchen are exhausted and exhausted, that is the time for us to completely take down the Sixteen States of Yanyun."

Both of them drank a lot, especially Gu Tingye, who was a little drunk at this time,

"Second brother Yuan, next time we must go together, and let me see how powerful you are, second brother. Now those generals and sergeants in the north are all hardcore of you. When you talk about you, they all respect and admire you. I heard them say, second brother, you dare to charge directly against the Liao army with cavalry, and you will not be invincible, second brother, you should teach your brother a few tricks when you turn around!"

Yuan Wenshao patted his chest and assured that it was not a big deal.

"Okay, don't worry, come to me later, brother, I will teach you a few tricks!"

In the end, they each went back to their homes and found their own wives to work on. In the next few days, nothing major happened. Gu Tingye often came to ask Yuan Wenshao for advice, and Yuan Wenshao also taught Gu Tingye some marksmanship skills. For the skill type, Gu Tingye's family-inherited marksmanship is wide open and close, focusing on strength. The two people have different positions, but fortunately Yuan Wenshao's marksmanship has reached the state of perfection, and it is still no problem to give Gu Tingye some advice. of.

Gu Tingye has also improved a lot under Yuan Wenshao's guidance. With progress, he has motivation. In the days to come, he likes to run to Yuan's mansion when he has nothing to do. He even spends less time in his own mansion. Maybe it's because he practiced too much. , a lot of energy wasted, and serving Minglan was not as energetic as before, which made Minglan's girl complain, and sued Hualan several times.

This day, Yuan Wenshao's family was having dinner. A few days ago, Hua Lan introduced a new chef who was good at Jiangnan cuisine through his aunt Mrs. Shou Shanbo. I like it very much, but Yuan Wenshao thinks that's the case, so it looks good, but the taste doesn't feel good.
But now the votes were two to one, he was at a disadvantage, so he had to eat Jiangnan cuisine with a few others, but after eating a few times, he felt better than before, and now he is eating with relish.

The husband and wife were eating and talking, Hua Lan said casually:
"This year's crops in the villages in Beijing seem to be worse than last year. It is said that it is due to the drought and lack of rain. However, the crops in the south are still successful and have not decreased much. The managers of the villages in Beijing asked me if I could reduce some rents. Son, what do you think?"

Yuan Wenshao took a bite of Jinghua ham and said:

"You can figure it out, or send a few reliable people over to inquire. If it is really due to the drought, we can reduce it as appropriate, so that the tenants can live on, and our family is not short of that!"

Hua Lan nodded after hearing the words, and responded while eating,

"Well, then I looked back at the arrangement, but I feel that it is likely to be true. This year's rain will indeed be less. I went back to my mother before, and my mother also said that the prospects of the family members in the family are not good this year! We discussed it. Let’s reduce the rent.”

Just as Yuan Wenshao was about to respond, he heard a report from the female envoy below. General Weibei's mansion sent a post. Yuan Wenshao opened it and saw that Shen Congxing's family wanted to organize a full moon wine for their children. He asked Yuan Wenshao's family to go, and Yuan Wenshao handed it to him. Warland,
"Here, take a look!"

Hua Lan put down his chopsticks, took the post after eating what was in his mouth,

"It turns out that his family is going to hold a full moon wine. The full moon is so soon. It feels like it's only a few days away. Then, Lord Hou, shall we all go then?"

Yuan Wenshao shook his head, he was not in the mood to go, after all, he was not from the same road,

"Forget it, I won't go when the time comes. If you want to go, you can go with Minglan and his wife. They will definitely go. If anyone asks, you can just give me a reason!"

Hua Lan was puzzled when she heard the words, she thought Yuan Wenshao would definitely be there, everyone already knew the news of the reconciliation between the British Duke and the Shen family, and seeing the face of the British Duke, Hua Lan thought Yuan Wenshao would definitely be there too,

"What's the matter, why don't you go, hasn't the British Duke reconciled with the Shen family as before!"

Yuan Wenshao added a piece of beef with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and responded while eating,

"If they reconcile, they will reconcile. Anyway, I don't like to go to the Shen's house. If you want me to say that the old British general is the same, I will forgive the Shen's family easily. This is a slap in the face for you. Jujube, you will be soft, if my sister Zhuang is treated like this in the future, I will kill that beast alive!"

As he spoke, he waved his arms and made a look of cutting.

Hua Lan gave Yuan Wenshao a blank look,
"You can push it down. After all, the Shen family is the empress's family. Besides, the empress is already like that. It's enough to lose face. What else do you want? Why don't you let the empress come to ask for sins in person? Besides, Shen Congxing is married after all. Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang is also willing to go back to the Shen family, if the old British general insists on punishing Shen Congxing, Mrs. Zhang will suffer accordingly!"

When Yuan Wenshao heard what Hua Lan said, he also felt that it made sense, but his mouth was still very firm.

"Anyway, if it were me, I would never let the Shen family go so easily!"

Hua Lan directly picked up a handful of sliver meat, put it in Yuan Wenshao's bowl, and said angrily:
"Yeah, you can do it, hurry up and eat yours!"
