Chapter 57

After sending Wang Ben away, Yuan Wenshao thought for a while, and the situation gradually became tense. He couldn't be so idle anymore, and had to pay attention to the situation above the court from time to time.

In the next few days, Yuan Wenshao participated in every court meeting, and stood in the second place of the military commander, behind the British Duke. In fact, his current prestige and status have surpassed the British Duke, but he is from his hometown, and he is an elder, and his position is not different. Great, Yuan Wenshao also has to give a little respect, right?The old man refused at first, but later he acquiesced when Yuan Wenshao couldn't hold back.

The civil servants were surprised at first, but later they saw that the Duke of Yan was still the same as before. He didn't speak much except for the military, so he didn't care too much. There are very few speeches on state affairs, but the new emperor ascends the throne and has fewer confidants, and the talents in Yuzhou speak more, in order to support the officials!
On this day, the rumors really came true, and the officials suddenly announced an order that Yuan Wenshao be conferred the title of Taiwei, in charge of the country's main soldiers and horses, and in charge of the world's military and political affairs, while Shen Congxing was in charge of the Western Suburb Camp, obviously in exchange.

The Taiwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not as powerful as the Taiwei of the Qin and Han Dynasties, because of the separation of powers by the Privy Council, but he was also in charge of the mobilization of soldiers and horses and the promotion of military officials in the world in name.

Yuan Wenshao's team didn't object because of his advance call, but the British government expressed strong opposition. He didn't object to Yuan Wenshao's promotion, but he actually opposed his son-in-law Shen Congxing's management of the western suburb camp. He knew that even with his face Well, Shen Congxing will definitely not be able to command the soldiers of the camp in the western suburbs, and if he is disgraced, it will ruin his future.

But the officials had already made up their minds, and Yuan Wenshao did not object, so the resolution was passed in the end.

Yuan Wenshao was also a little helpless. He was actually ready for Shen Congxing to take charge of the camp in the western suburbs, and he had already explained everything, but he did not expect that the officials would let him be a captain. This position has some real power. The promotion of a military officer without the Taiwei's seal nodding, it seems that the reputation is not right, except for the case of no Taiwei, but in this case, he will not be as leisurely as he is now.
Sure enough, after he took office, he went to court every day and had to work in Taiwei's mansion. Fortunately, Taiwei is not a permanent organization. The original departments have their own procedures, and affairs are not as busy as he imagined. With so many subordinate officials, it is basically just a place to go to work.

As for the follow-up of the Sheng family and the Wang family, Yuan Wenshao is not involved, and he is not as free as he used to be, but he will occasionally hear Hualan mention something when he returns home at night.

For example, when the Sheng family caught fire, Aunt Kang might be rescued by the Wang family, Rulan, Minglan will give birth soon, and her mother, Mrs. Wang, will return to Youyang someday, etc.

On the day Mrs. Wang left, Yuan Wenshao even took a special leave to see Mrs. Wang off together with Hua Lan and Hai Chaoyun. Rulan was about to give birth so they didn't let them come. Judging from the well-developed lacrimal glands, those who cry without saying it are snot and tears are constantly flowing, Yuan Wenshao hurriedly comforted,
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, this trip will be regarded as a trip. Youyang's hometown is beautiful, and it is the most important thing to support people. Maybe the next time the mother-in-law comes back, she will be much younger. When the wind here is over, we will plead with grandma together. Grandma has always been kind, I think it won't be long before my mother-in-law returns to the capital!"

Mrs. Wang was also a little relieved when she heard the words, she cried and said:

"Good boy, I can count on you and Hualan now. I'm afraid I can't count on that evil person, and even at this time he didn't come to see me off..." He started crying again Hai Chaoyun was very embarrassed. She had persuaded Changbai before, but it was a pity that Changbai was stern and unselfish. He happened to have official business today, and he didn't come because he was obsessed with official business. Now the son-in-law has asked for leave to come, and the son-in-law didn't come , It seems a bit like that.

Hua Lan was a little embarrassed to see her sister-in-law, so she hurriedly persuaded her mother,

"Mother, don't be joking, you still have to rely on Changbai Chaoyun to take care of you until the end of your life. No matter how good we are, it can only be superficial, and you can only borrow some light. You have to rely on Changbai's official career, and you may have a successful career. In a few years, you will also be ordered to add to your body, and that will really add luster to you!"

Mrs. Wang actually understands that sometimes she really can't stand her son's character, he is too straightforward, and he is a bit disrespectful when it comes to difficult points. Even his old mother was sentenced to ten years in prison. Thinking about how hard she has raised her, I didn't expect such a result when I was old, I couldn't help feeling sad, and everyone hurriedly comforted me.

In the end, Mrs. Wang took the official ship to Youyang with three steps and three turns. This official ship happened to go south to Jinling to deliver supplies. take care of.

Mrs. Wang is the mother-in-law of Duke Yan and the Taiwei. The officials on board the ship were very warm and respectful. Even the local officials who stopped along the way paid respectful visits, which made Mrs. Wang feel trembling. When I got up, I completely forgot all the original sadness!

Even when we arrived in Youyang, the local officials immediately came to visit, asking about their health, Mrs. Wang was extremely beautiful, and she was very proud. Although the eldest family of the Sheng family was not a flattering person, seeing how she treated Mrs. Wang, she had saved a lot. Be very careful, when has she ever enjoyed such treatment, the whole Mrs. Wang is a little bit reluctant to leave, and she has such thoughts, thinking whether to write to tell her children not to intercede with her for the time being, and it’s okay to stay longer. Of course this is off topic.

After the few people here waited for Mrs. Wang to board the boat, they went to the Sheng Mansion together. The couple thought about taking the opportunity to visit the old lady. Hai Chaoyun has a calm and steady personality, so at this time, it was inevitable that he would breathe a sigh of relief and talk to Hua Lan. They started talking, her mother-in-law has been tossing her a lot during this time, seeing if she and Changbai have eyes, noses, noses, or whatever, she was exhausted.

When they arrived at Shou'an Hall, they saw Mother Fang supporting the old lady walking. The old lady was also very happy to see Hualan and his wife coming, so she quickly asked everyone to sit down. First of all, she asked about Yuan Wenshao, her tone was very gentle. ,

"Good boy, aren't you busy with business today, why don't you have time to visit me, an old lady!"

"Haha, grandma, I really didn't come to see you specially today. I think you are by the way. Today is not the day when my mother-in-law is going south. I don't have any big things over there. I will take a day off for a while. If I don't show up , looking back, your granddaughter Hua Lan has no good fruit for me to eat!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Lan gave Yuan Wenshao a supercilious look and a embroidered fist. The old lady was also amused, and burst out laughing,
"Haha, by the way, by the way, I'm glad you guys can come to see me, my old lady!" As he spoke, he thought of Mrs. Wang who was going south, and said to Hualan, "Your mother, I know Yes, she is a person with no heart, but the purer the human heart, the easier it is to be manipulated by others. Let her go to Youyang for a while. It is also good to cultivate her body and mind. When Brother Quan is a little older, she can come back , she is also approaching the age of having grandchildren!"

Hua Lan's eyes were reddish when she heard this, and she nodded happily. She was so moved by her grandmother's understanding.

Yuan Wenshao also admired her very much. After all, she is an old lady with a generous and open mind.

Several people had lunch with the old lady, and left when the old lady was a little tired and needed to rest.
