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

Chapter 134 A few things with Hua Lan, the playful Ru Lan
After Lady Wu left Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, Sheng Hualan and others also came to the backyard.

They had been to the British Duke's Mansion and saw the magnanimity and wealth of the Duke's Mansion.

Even the several royal palaces in Bianjing City may not be able to compare with the British palace.

Now, in their eyes, Uncle Zhongyong's mansion also exudes a kind of restrained dignity.

Every plant, every tree, every brick and tile seems to be relatively simple, but in fact it reveals an extremely profound heritage.

"Uncle Wei's place is even more generous than the British government's!"

"It would be great if our Sheng family could be that big in the future!"

"Third brother, be careful! Your Majesty personally gave this mansion to my uncle from the Wei family. How can our Sheng family be so virtuous and capable?"

"."

While several people were discussing, Wei Yuan came slowly here.

Wei Yuan said truthfully: "Last time you cooked some very good dishes, but I didn't eat enough."

"Since you're here today, don't leave in a hurry. Later, let Minglan cook some dishes, and you and Changfeng will have a few drinks with me."

Afterwards, he led everyone to a pavilion and asked curiously:

The same is true for Minglan.

When everyone heard this, everyone laughed except Minglan.

"Hua Lan and Ru Lan will also stay here to make it more lively."

Sheng Changbai cupped his hands and said, "Since my uncle came to the capital, we, the juniors, have not officially visited my uncle."

Minglan said depressedly: "Uncle, why am I the one cooking?"

Wei Yuan said: "If you call me uncle, you are my junior. You don't need to worry about these customs. Just feel free to do it."

Seeing Wei Yuan appear, Sheng Changbai and others stepped forward to bow respectfully.

"Uncle, my second brother has an average drinking capacity, but my third brother can drink more. You can get him drunk."

Although she was extremely close to Wei Yuan, she did not want to show any feeling of favor and pride in front of her brothers and sisters.

"Then listen to uncle and have a few drinks with him."

"."

"I met my uncle."

In this way, Minglan nodded obediently.

"How come you guys have time to come to my place?"

"You came to my house, but something happened?"

"I recently heard that my uncle will take a rest for a few days, so we decided to come and pay homage to you."

"Fifth sister, don't talk nonsense. No matter how good I am at drinking, I can't compare to my uncle!"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "It's too polite to say a courtesy. You can come to my place when you have nothing to do on weekdays."

At this moment, Changbai, Changfeng and the clever and eccentric Rulan were talking and laughing.

Only Hua Lan, the eldest sister of Sheng, sat on the chair and remained silent, as if she had something unspeakable, and even the faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth was slightly bitter.

Wei Yuan glanced at her and could guess why she was like this.

After a while.

Minglan went to cook, Rulan and Changfeng were visiting the uncle's house, and Changbai and Hualan sat in the pavilion with Weiyuan.

He first asked Xiang Changbai,
"I heard that you have passed the provincial examination. Next year happens to be the big examination. Do you want to take the national examination?"

Sheng Changbai said respectfully: "Back to uncle, my father's intention is to let me go down and try. If I can win, it will be great. If I don't, there is still a chance to make up for it while I am young."

Wei Yuan nodded, "I'm optimistic about you. Your Sheng family is going to produce another Jinshi."

Sheng Changbai shook his head and smiled, "Uncle, please don't say that. The consequences are unpredictable. My nephew can only do his best and obey fate."

Wei Yuan praised: "You have such a character, you have already defeated most people."

After a pause, he looked at Hua Lan again, "I remember that when I went to your house last time, you talked a lot. Why are you so silent when you come here?"

The latter stood up slowly, bowed and said: "Uncle, my niece doesn't know anything about the imperial examination, so I'm afraid I might say the wrong thing."

Wei Yuan waved his hand and motioned for her to sit down.

"I can probably guess a thing or two about what you're thinking."

"Yesterday Uncle Zhongqin and his family came, but I was indeed kicked out."

"But this has nothing to do with you, so don't worry."

"I will go when you get married. If I go, their family will not dare to embarrass you."

Wei Yuan was the first earl and deeply trusted by the emperor. His great future had just begun.

But things like Zhongqin Bofu and Yongchang Bofu have been passed down for several generations.

In terms of power, he is incomparable to Wei Yuan.

Even if Wei Yuan opened his mouth and offended them, they could only greet him with smiles and did not dare to make any mistakes.

This is power!
If one day Wei Yuan loses power, those who are usually friendly with him will be benevolent and righteous if they don't step on him. In this vanity fair of Beijing, the so-called 'making friends' and 'don't offend people' are all false.

In short, when you gain power, you will have friends; when you lose power, you will have enemies.

This is what Wei Yuan did to Zhongqin Bofu.

Even if he drives them out of the house.

What can they do?

Do you really want to break up with Wei Yuan?
You know, what happened in the Yongping Mansion just happened not long ago.

Regarding this, most small uncles can only lick their faces to flatter Wei Yuan and never dare to turn against him.

As for Mrs. Yongchangbo, what she did was a bit excessive.

Knowing that Wei Yuan's power was at its peak, she still dreamed of letting someone like Liang Han marry Minglan.

Don't you just want to use Wei Yuan's influence to allow the Yongchang Mansion to continue to prosper?
Wei Yuan had nothing to say to people with this kind of mentality.

Although Mrs. Wu is a nice person, she is easily confused when it comes to her son's affairs.

At this moment, Hualan looked grateful when she heard what Wei Yuan said.

"When Hua'er gets married, it's enough for Hua'er that my uncle can go there."

After all, Wei Yuan is not her biological uncle.

Regarding her marriage, Wei Yuan could go or not, and no one would say anything.

Therefore, at this time, Hua Lan felt a little grateful to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan knew what kind of woman Hualan was. She had an elegant and gentle personality, and was steady and polite in her dealings with others.

For such juniors, he is willing to help.

"Not only will I go, but I will also prepare a generous gift for you. If you call me uncle, I will definitely help you wherever I need to, no matter how close you are."

Hualan is a docile child, and Wei Yuan's words are enough to prove that he thinks highly of her.

It's a pity that if he didn't have a close relationship with the Sheng family at the beginning, he would definitely advise Sheng Hong that Uncle Zhongqin's house is really not a good match.

A lot of shit at home.

Just because the Zhongqin uncle's house had already been unable to make ends meet, in order to maintain the appearance of the main uncle's house, it caused a famine.

I just hope that Hua Lan will bring a lot of dowry back.

Uncle Yongchang's house at least has some money, but Uncle Zhongqin's house wants money but not money, and power but not power. His wife, Mrs. Zhongqin, is a bit mean.

Such a family is really not a good match.

However, Wei Yuan can't control any of this.

Hearing Wei Yuan's words, Hua Lan felt grateful in her heart. She suddenly knelt down and gave a big gift to Wei Yuan.
"Although my uncle is not Hua'er's biological uncle, the fact that he can say those words for Hua'er shows that he recognizes Hua'er as a junior in his heart."

"Hua'er kneels to uncle because he wants to tell him that in the future, Hua'er will treat you like a biological uncle and provide for you in your old age, just like the sixth sister."

Regardless of whether he said these words for any other purpose, in short, he was able to live up to his reputation.

Wei Yuan helped her up.
"Serious words."

"You and Changbai are both juniors that I'm optimistic about."

"Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion is not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. After you get married, live a good life and I don't expect to encounter any difficulties."

Hua Lan nodded solemnly.

Changbai smiled and said: "Eldest sister just said that uncle, you are not our biological uncle."

"But in my nephew's eyes, it is useless to look at blood ties alone to determine whether they are close or not."

"Uncle, you don't have to go when eldest sister is getting married, but if you go, you will help eldest sister again. Both of us, brother and sister, are grateful for your kindness."

"This is like our grandmother. Although she is not a blood relative, she treats us as if she were our own grandmother, even closer than our own grandmother."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Changbai, when did you learn to say these beautiful words?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yuan, Sheng Changbai, and Hua Lan all laughed.

At this time, Rulan came here like a jumping hare and asked curiously:

"Uncle, eldest sister, second brother, what are you talking about, are you so happy?"

Wei Yuan said: "Let's talk to you again."

"Talk about me?" Rulan's eyes widened, looking extremely smart and cute.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Tell me how naughty and domineering you are on weekdays. Before you get married, you already live like a resentful woman."

Although it was a joke, it was a bit serious.

Rulan stamped her feet and tried to argue: "No way! Uncle, did you listen to what my eldest sister said again?"

"Sister, I am your biological sister!"

Changbai also laughed and said: "Fifth sister, my uncle is right. You are indeed a bit naughty in daily life. You need to change."

Hua Lan agreed: "Yes, look at you, how do you look like a lady in ordinary times?"
