Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 133 Hualan Changbai and other Sheng family juniors come to visit

Mrs. Sheng knew exactly what Sheng Hong was thinking.

Was he really worried because Uncle Zhongyong kicked Uncle Zhongqin out of the house without even confiscating the courtesy?
Even if there is a reason for this, I'm afraid it's not many.

What Sheng Hong was thinking about more was that we, the children of the Sheng family, had not bothered Uncle Zhongyong much.

You, Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion, just relied on the reputation of my Sheng family to go to Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion to give gifts?

If it weren't for the fact that the Sheng family was from a scholarly and Qingliu family, he might have recommended Chang Feng or Chang Bai to serve in the new army.

At this time, Hua Lan asked:
"If the two uncles' houses are at loggerheads because of this, how will our Sheng family deal with ourselves in the future?"

Mrs. Sheng said: "Hua'er, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing."

"Brother Yuan always has a purpose in doing things. It must be Uncle Zhongqin's fault first. Besides, it is a matter between the two uncles and has nothing to do with our Sheng family."

Hua Lan sighed: "My granddaughter originally thought that when she got married, she would invite her uncles from the Wei family to come too. It's a good thing that because of this, my uncles from the Wei family may not be able to come."

If Wei Yuan could come on her wedding day, the biggest help to her would be to gain face with her husband's family.

"I heard that your uncle is taking a rest these days. If you are free tomorrow, please take your brothers and sisters to visit your uncle."

The last place Changbai and the others went was the British Duke's Mansion to attend the banquet for the British Duke and his wife to adopt their adopted daughter.

Sheng Hong looked embarrassed.

She was also telling the noble ladies in the capital that she and Wei Yuan were somewhat related.

"This can be regarded as your juniors going to visit your elders, so prepare some generous gifts."

Hua Lan nodded,

"Take advantage of this opportunity to go and see your uncle tomorrow."

Minglan smiled and said: "Sister, my sister told my uncle yesterday. He said he would prepare a gift for you, so you don't have to worry too much."

Old Mrs. Sheng suddenly thought of an idea and said to Minglan:

Mrs. Sheng said sternly: "This is the etiquette that juniors should do. When you go, remember not to be utilitarian."

When Mrs. Sheng heard what she said, she immediately fell silent.

He felt that the old lady was talking about him.

"It's just that yesterday was yesterday. If something like this happens today, I'm afraid my uncle Wei's attitude toward my future husband's family won't be very good."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Thank you, Sixth Sister. If it weren't for Sixth Sister, my uncle from the Wei family would never give me the honor of the Sheng family."

Although not as good as Minglan, if something happened, people would have to ask a few words.

Sheng Hong's eyes lit up, "Yes, Changbai, Changfeng, Hua'er, Ru'er, you have never been to Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, right?"

"Brother Yuan is Ming'er's biological uncle. If he helps you in the future, it will be because of Brother Yuan's kindness. If he doesn't help you, it will be even more of his duty."

As for Zhongyongbo Mansion, they have never been there.

"Girl Ming, you often go to your uncle's house in the past, but these sisters and brothers of yours have never gone there once."

Sheng Changbai bowed solemnly and said, "Grandma, please rest assured. My grandson understands that tomorrow is just for the younger generation to see and say hello to the elders."

Among the brothers and sisters in the Sheng family, only Sheng Changbai knows how to advance and retreat, obeys the rules, and has the most etiquette. He is not as snobbish as Sheng Hong.

People like him will either become representatives of Qingliu in the future and stand tall, or they will remain unknown.

"Okay, grandma can rest assured that you are here."

"Don't be stunned. The food will be cold later."

Mrs. Sheng smiled and spoke.

With Changbai here, she was indeed relieved.

Among the younger members of the Sheng family, she loves Minglan the most because she thinks Minglan has a good nature, is well-behaved and sensible, and will never become lawless just because she has a powerful uncle.

This is the long-term solution.

The most important person is Sheng Changbai, thinking that he is the hope of the Sheng family in the future.
-
The next day.

Sheng Changbai and others had just left the Sheng family.

Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Yongchang Bo, came to Zhongyong Bo Mansion.

Currently communicating with Wei Yuan in the lobby.

Mrs. Wu also brought Liang Han with her.
"I heard that the sixth girl from the Sheng family often comes to General Wei's place. I wonder if she is here today?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "Madam Wu, you are not here to see Wei, but to see Miss Ming?"

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "I just said it casually, but I heard that Minglan will have her hairpin ceremony next year. It's time to find a husband."

"In Bianjing City, there are many children from high-ranking families. Minglan should look for them carefully."

Although Minglan will have to get her haircut next year, she is still only fifteen years old.

This is Yongchang Bofu.
Wei Yuan frowned deeply, "Madam Wu, this girl Minglan is still young, so she is not in a hurry to find her husband's family."

Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "That is true, but young talents similar to Miss Ming are rare." "Speaking of which, our Liang Han has just finished his career. If there is an opportunity, we can let these young people Get together more often.”

Wei Yuan sneered and said:
"Madam Wu is serious about her words. As long as I am here, it will be okay for me to marry the future Duke or even the prince."

"I don't expect to climb the high branches of your Yongchang Earl's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu looked embarrassed.

Marry the future Duke or even the County King
Yongchang Bofu Gaozhi
Isn't this a slap in the face?
Mrs. Wu smiled bitterly,
"Uncle Wei, you are really good at joking. In any case, our two families are both martial artists, and we will have more contacts in the future."

To be honest, Mrs. Wu is not a bad person, and she is also an outspoken person.

However, she shouldn't have Minglan's idea.

Liang Han?

Is it worthy?

Wei Yuan looked unhappy and said, "Madam Wu, you were the one who made the joke first."

"It's okay if I don't tell you about your son."

As soon as these words came out, Liang Han suddenly became angry.

If Wei Yuan hadn't been known to be invincible and brave, he would have rolled up his sleeves and started fighting with Wei Yuan.

Mrs. Wu also looked a little embarrassed.
"General Wei, on weekdays, everyone in the capital looks up but not down. What you said is a bit heartless."

Wei Yuan said coldly: "You also know that if you don't look down, you will see me when you look up. As soon as you two enter the door, you will tell me what happened to Lan."

"Ms. Wu, you are a sensible person. Why are you so confused when it comes to your son?"

"Don't forget that Ming Lan is still young. Even if one day she really wants to get married, the husband's family she chooses must at least be from a noble family or have a third-rank official in the family to support her."

"Can your Liang family guarantee that in the next few years, you will get a Duke title or a third-grade official?"

Why a third-grade official?

The reason is very simple. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the third-grade officials were qualified to participate in the important political affairs of the country.

Becoming a third-grade official is also expected to go a step further, to take charge of the central government, and to become a prime minister, a grand master, a grand lieutenant, and other prestigious positions.

To put it bluntly, in the capital, especially in the imperial court.

Everyone below the third rank is an ant. Of course, this does not include some special generals and nobles.

When Mrs. Wu heard Wei Yuan's words, her face felt burning pain.

Wei Yuan was right, their Yongchang Earl's Mansion was indeed in a state of decline.

If he doesn't find a good marriage for his son, I'm afraid this cousin's house will really fall into decline.

When your Majesty rewards honorable officers, he also focuses on the prince's mansion, the prince's mansion, and the uncle's mansion.
At best, he could be a fourth- or fifth-rank official.

But the Liang family didn't even have a fourth-grade official.

Having a title in vain is already a castle in the air.

If Mrs. Wu hadn't opened a polo field, more noble family members would have come, allowing her to accumulate a lot of connections.

Otherwise, today's Yongchang Mansion will only be more miserable.

At this time, Zhen'er walked slowly over, bowed to Wei Yuan and said, "Master, the young masters and girls of the Sheng family are here to give you a gift."

Mr. girl?

Wei Yuan asked curiously: "Who is here?"

Zhen'er responded: "There is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family and the second young master of the Sheng family."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan nodded and asserted: "I understand, let them wait in the backyard."

After a pause, he cupped his hands to Mrs. Yongchang Bo and said:
"Madam Wu, I'm sorry for the poor reception today."

"As you can see, there are guests in my house. If anything happens, let's talk about it another day."

Seeing Wei Yuan rushing away, Mrs. Wu did not dare to be angry, so she handed an invitation she had brought to Wei Yuan and said:

"In a few days, there will be a competition held at my polo ground, and many nobles will come. If you, General Wei, are free, you can go and have a look."

She finally understood that it was unrealistic to seek a breakthrough from Wei Yuan to marry Minglan.

I just don’t know if I can talk to the eldest lady of the Sheng family.

If that doesn't work, just make friends with Uncle Zhongyong.

After all, for the current Yongchang Mansion, multiple friends really mean multiple paths.

Wei Yuan opened the invitation, read the date on it, and said:

"If I have nothing to do that day, I will go and have a look."

In this way, Mrs. Wu reluctantly left Uncle Zhongyong's mansion.
