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

Chapter 14: Brother Wei Yuan, meet my eldest sister!

In the second year of Jiayou's reign, it was mid-February.

The Yuan family's fleet has arrived at Yangzhou Pier and is waiting for people from the Sheng family to greet them.

They came here to be hired by the Sheng family. If the Sheng family didn't send someone here, they would naturally not be able to disembark and unload the gifts.

Otherwise, the people of Yangzhou will look down upon their Zhongqin Mansion.

At this moment, the Sheng family felt a little uneasy.

First, Sheng Hong and his wife Wang Ruofu were quarreling over the employment of Yuan family.

Sheng Hong was born as a Jinshi, his father was the famous Sheng Tanhua, and his aunt was Xu Changzhi's great-aunt.

Sheng Hong was well versed in officialdom and was thinking about how to get promoted. He thought that with his daughter and the big tree of Zhongqin's Mansion, he would be able to secure a foothold in the capital or find multiple promotion paths.

But who would have thought that the Yuan family looked down on their Sheng family and only sent their juniors to hire them.

But the matter had come to this, and there was no room for regret, so he spoke to Wang Ruofu with serious words:

"Madam, the Yuan family's betrothal boat has docked. If we don't send someone to pick it up, they will say that our family is rude."

Don’t understand etiquette?
When he mentioned this, Wang Ruofu said angrily: "Does the Yuan family know etiquette?"

"It was agreed that the uncle and his wife would come and hire them in person, but what about now? Send a junior here and just send them away?"

"Do they think it is difficult for my daughter from the Sheng family to marry? Hualan is my firstborn daughter. Let me tell you, no one can be mean to her!"

"This is a marriage, it doesn't matter if you don't get married!"

Sheng Hong frowned, "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about? What a wonderful marriage, why don't you get married if you don't want to get married?"

Wang Ruofu looked unhappy.
"A good marriage? A good marriage, but the Yuan family is so neglectful of my Sheng family?"

"If you really feel sorry for Hua'er, how can you swallow this matter?"

Sheng Hong sighed, thought for a moment, came behind Wang Ruofu, and said in a kind tone:

"Madam, how can I not love Hua'er?"

"It's true that Yuan Wenshao is a good boy. Our Hua'er has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. I just hope that we can find a good match for our Hua'er and marry a good and responsible husband."

After some persuasion from him, Wang Ruofu lost most of his anger, but he was still a little depressed.

Sheng Hong struck while the iron was hot: "After all, the Yuan family is an earl's palace. Even if Yuan Wenshao's official career does not go well in the future, he can still keep his son's glory and wealth, right?"

Wang Ruofu was moved when he heard this.

At this moment, a servant came to report that it was Wei Yuan, the regiment training envoy of Daizhou, who wanted to see him.

Wei Yuan?

Hearing this name, Sheng Hong frowned.
"Wei Yuan, the guard of Yanmen? He is a military general. Why did he come to my house? My Sheng family has no relationship with him!"

The servant then presented the greeting card.

Sheng Hong read the greeting card and was shocked.
"Wei Yuan is actually Shu Yi's biological brother?"

He had known before that Wei Shuyi had a younger brother who had gone to the army two years ago.

But no matter what, he couldn't connect with Wei Yuan.

After all, although this Wei Yuan did not hold a title, he was still a direct disciple of the British Duke, and he could also be regarded as an upstart general in the dynasty.

How could he be Wei Shuyi's younger brother?

Wang Ruofu heard this clearly and frowned secretly: "I never heard that Wei Shuyi has such a capable younger brother."

No matter what, Wei Yuan presented the invitation.

Sheng Hong naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly said to Wang Ruofu:

"Madam, I'm going to welcome the guests first, and you should dress up quickly. I've ordered Chang Bai to go to the dock to pick up the Yuan family."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruofu stood up suddenly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Sheng Hong had already left.

Wang Ruofu had no choice but to sit on the chair with a depressed look on his face, the anger in his heart still not completely gone.

Wei Yuan was now the training envoy of the Daizhou regiment, a serious official of the fifth rank, so Sheng Hong couldn't help but be careless, so he greeted him personally.

Sheng Hong's current official position is Yangzhou Tongpan, which is also from the fifth rank.

The general magistrate of Da Zhouzhou is between the sixth grade and the fifth grade. It mainly depends on where he serves.

Yangzhou is an important town in Huainan. As a general magistrate here, the rank is naturally higher than that of ordinary state capitals.

Just when Sheng Hong went to meet Wei Yuan in front of the mansion.

Something happened over there at Wei Shuyi.

The reason is still related to charcoal fire.

The weather is very cold now, Minglan is still young, and Wei Shuyi is pregnant, so she must not freeze. Xiaotao went to ask for charcoal but failed. When Xiaodie found out, she went to Guan Niangzi, who was responsible for distributing charcoal, to argue.

Afterwards, they asked for charcoal fire, but the charcoal fire was not for heating, but the charcoal burned on the stove. There was a lot of soot. As soon as it was lit, the whole house was filled with thick smoke.

General Wei Shuyi, Minglan, Xiaotao and others were so choked that they left the house.

Xiaodie was furious, "Mom, they bully people too much! I'm going to argue with them right now!"

Wei Shuyi quickly shook his head and said: "Xiaodie, don't go. If it's cold, wear more clothes. If that doesn't work, seal the windows more tightly."
-
In front of Shengzhai.

A hundred personal guards surrounded the place.

As soon as Sheng Hong came to the door, seeing this posture, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating.

It's just because the hundreds of personal guards selected by Wei Yuan personally are all experienced warriors who have emerged from the sea of ​​​​blood in the mountains of corpses. They are born with murderous intent, making them intimidating.

"I don't know. Who is the training envoy of the Guards?"

Sheng Hong asked cautiously.

The voice just fell.

Wei Yuan, who was wearing armor, stood in front of Sheng Hong, slightly cupped his hands, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Sheng Sheng, please forgive me for coming uninvited."

He came to support Wei Shuyi, not to cause trouble, so he still had to say hello.

When Sheng Hong saw Wei Yuan, he immediately shuddered, because Wei Yuan's eyes were extremely sharp, showing a kind of chill, which was a bit colder than the weather today.

Especially when he spoke, there was a faint murderous aura, and he looked like a murderous god!

What is shocking is that this murderer is so young!
Sheng Hong was frightened, swallowed his saliva, and said bravely:

"We are all one family, so there is no need to be polite when practicing as a guard."

At the same time, he was still thinking about whether his family had ever harshly criticized Wei Shuyi in the past few years.

If I had known that Wei Shuyi had such a promising younger brother, I would have treated her more carefully!
But now it's better, he made a surprise attack and caught himself by surprise.

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "We are a family, so Wei will not be polite."

"I'm only here temporarily in Yangzhou. Things are urgent. I wonder if my sister is at home now?"

Hearing this, Sheng Hong nodded subconsciously.

Wei Yuan stopped talking nonsense and stepped directly into the mansion.

Hundreds of personal guards accompanied him.

Seeing this, Sheng Hong was shocked, "Wei Tuan Lian, this"

Logically speaking, as a brother-in-law, he should get close to his brother-in-law when he meets him for the first time, but Wei Yuan's evil aura really makes it impossible for him to get close to him.

Wei Yuan, who had already entered the Sheng family, said with a smile: "Please forgive me, Mr. Shanda, these are my personal guards. When a general comes to the capital, he can bring his personal guards with him. This is the official's personal advice. Wherever I go, my personal guards will be with me." Will follow."

Sheng Hong looked unhappy.

When you go to the palace, do these personal guards also have to follow you into the palace?

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something.

The Yuan family obviously looked down on the Sheng family.

If the power of these hundred personal guards and Wei Yuan can be used, the Yuan family may not dare to underestimate the Sheng family.

Thinking of this, although Sheng Hong felt unhappy, he followed Wei Yuan's thoughts.

Later, Sheng Hong personally led the way to Wei Shuyi's courtyard.

When he saw thick smoke filling the yard, he frowned and wondered what was going on.

Wei Yuan also saw the thick smoke and winked at Xu Changzhi beside him.

Xu Changzhi understood this and immediately led a hundred personal guards into the hospital.

At this time, Wei Shuyi was trying to persuade Xiaodie not to argue with the person who distributed the charcoal fire. Suddenly, he saw men in armor and swords rushing into the courtyard, and they were all startled.

Minglan and Xiaotao came to Wei Shuyi's side instantly.

Wei Shuyi frowned when he saw Sheng Hong coming.
"Lord, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Sheng Hong was about to say something when he saw that Wei Yuan had quickly arrived in front of Wei Shuyi, knelt down on one knee and said:
"Brother, meet my eldest sister!"

"Sister, you have worked hard these years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of guards and soldiers all bowed towards Wei Shuyi.

Since ancient times, the eldest sister has been like a mother.

How can all the soldiers remain indifferent when they see their general worshiping his mother?
Therefore, the soldiers on the border bowed their heads to show respect.
