Chapter 54 Bianjing Polo Club

"What? Earl?!"

Wang Ruofu stood up suddenly and his eyes widened.

When she was in Yangzhou, she showed off to the family members that it was her own daughter who was able to marry into the Earl's Palace and have a decent life.

However, the man Hualan married was not the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion.

But Wei Yuan, the younger brother of Wei Shuyou, is a real earl!

His status far exceeds the number of men Hualan will marry!

"Ru'er, don't lie to mother. Are you really knighted?" Wang Ruofu couldn't believe it.

Being knighted is really difficult.

Her father was once a Grand Master, but he was never given any title.

In the Zhou Dynasty, if a civil servant wanted to be granted a title, it was tantamount to ascending to heaven, unless he had contributed to the founding of the country and assisted the government.

The founding of the country is no longer realistic, and the so-called assisting the government mostly refers to the merits of following the dragon.

Ru Lan said: "Mom, can I lie to you about this kind of thing?"

Hua Lan said: "Mom, what does Minglan's uncle's knighthood have to do with us? Are you so excited?"

Wang Ruofu was about to cry. He originally thought that the United Guards would forgive Lin Sushuang.

But now?

Even if she joins forces with Lin Sushuang, they may not be able to suppress Wei Shuyi.

"That's a title!"

"Wei Xiaoniang's biological brother!"

"How can mother not be in a hurry?"

Wang Ruofu became more and more anxious as he spoke.

Hua Lan smiled and said, "Mom, Miss Wei is not Lin Sushuang."

"Wei Xiaoniang has always had a quiet temperament. She never likes to argue about anything, and she never offends her mother or touches her mother's power to manage the house."

"Besides, Wei Xiaoniang's thoughts are not as complex as Lin Sushuang's. Wei Xiaoniang is in a position of power. For us, there is no harm at all."

Hearing this, Wang Ruofu didn't understand and said: "It's harmless, so what's the benefit?"

Hua Lan smiled and said, "Mom, Minglan and Ru Lan have a good relationship. When they were in Yangzhou, Wei Xiaoniang's brother was full of praise for Chang Bai."

"If we establish a good relationship with Miss Wei in the future, wouldn't it be equivalent to establishing a good relationship with the newly promoted Lord Wei?"

Hearing this, Wang Ruofu suddenly became enlightened and his face lit up, "Yes, why didn't I think of this!"

"Wei Xiaoniang is a general person, not like that little bitch Lin Sushuang!"

"Minglan has always been well-behaved and obedient. She never talks back to me, let alone that Mo Lan!"

Sheng Hong heard the news that Wei Yuan was knighted.

He didn't even wait for the official office.

Return home directly.

He also ordered people to prepare some meals.

Wait until you arrive at Mu Cangzhai.

When he saw that Wei Shuyi and Minglan had already eaten, he smiled and said:
"I'm sorry, my husband will have a drink with you today."

Wei Shuyi and Minglan quickly stood up and greeted him.

Then, the former asked in confusion: "Why is the Lord so happy today?"

Sheng Hong smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but you still don't know? Your little brother has been knighted!"

"You are his eldest sister. If you know this, you will definitely be happy. Therefore, my husband has come to find you. I will have a nice drink with you today."

Hear this.

Wei Shuyi said with a fake smile: "My lord, greedy drinking will harm your health."

Sheng Hong waved his hand, "Just have a drink, just think of it as celebrating your little brother."

Wei Shuyi frowned slightly while he was not paying attention.
-
In the second year of Jiayou's reign, it was early November.

The official reward for Wei Yuan has been delivered to Daizhou.

Wei Yuan received the decree and his mind was filled with thoughts.

He had thought that for his merits in killing generals and capturing flags, he would definitely be knighted.

But when the reward of being an official came into his hands, everything seemed unrealistic.

Inside the big tent.

Zhang Fu looked at his thoughtful expression and said with a smile: "What? Are you not happy to be knighted by an official?" Wei Yuan shook his head, "Advancing an official to a noble family is one of the happy events in life, how can a student be unhappy? It’s just that in the past, rewards were given only after the war was over, but now the war is not over yet.”

Zhang Fu said: "This is a joint attack between the two countries. We, the Zhou Dynasty, need a big victory to let the people know that Xixia and Liao are no match for each other."

"When there is a great victory, there is also a great reward. It's just a reasonable thing."

Wei Yuan said: "The officials also rewarded the students with a mansion on Yujie, which is the busiest street in Bianjing City."

Zhang Fu said: "I know this house as my teacher. It was once a mansion of a prince. Later, the prince committed a crime and the house was ransacked. The house is very big, and it is not inferior to the British prince's mansion that I was my teacher."

The Duke's residence?

In terms of scale, it must be larger than the Earl's Mansion!

Wei Yuan said: "Isn't this a bit over the limit?"

Zhang Fu smiled and said, "Who dares to say that your Majesty's reward exceeds the limit?"

Wei Yuan said: "Teacher, I have another unkind request. I am afraid that the house your Majesty has given me has been abandoned for too long."

"The student hopes that the master's wife can send someone to take care of it. After all, the student finally has a mansion, and the student is a martial artist and doesn't know how to take care of it."

Zhang Fu nodded and said: "This is what you want. Even if you don't say it, I will let your wife take care of it. When the time comes, you can move in directly when you return to the capital."

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "So, after this battle is over, students can stay in Bianjing?"

If you continue to stay in Daizhou, it will be difficult to make any progress unless you encounter war.

But it's different in Bianjing.

If you say a few nice words in front of an official, you may be promoted.

Zhang Fu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has knighted you, how could he not let you stay in the capital? Otherwise, why would he reward you with a house in the capital?"

Wei Yuan looked happy, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your cultivation."

Zhang Fu shook his head, "Yuan'er, you and I share the same love as father and son, so there is no need to be so polite."

"The war is currently in a stalemate. Unless Xixia and Liao achieve a good result, I am afraid they will not give up easily. We estimate that this battle may last two or three years."

"By then, when you return to the capital, Fen'er will be old enough. I will definitely hold a glorious wedding for you two."

Wei Yuan looked startled.

Since Zhang Fu came to Daizhou.

As long as they are not discussing war, or only Wei Yuan and him are together.

Zhang Fu always talks about this topic.

It can be seen that he takes this matter very seriously.

"Do you hope that your daughter will be married off as soon as possible?"

Wei Yuan smiled.

Zhang Fu said earnestly: "I will leave Fen'er in your hands and I will rest assured."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came to report.

"Commander, General Wei, it's snowing outside."

Snowing?
Upon hearing the news, Wei Yuan and Zhang Fu looked at each other and smiled, and without any explanation, headed outside the camp.

After looking up and seeing the snow falling all over the sky.

Zhang Fu was in a good mood, "We can have a good year at the border."
-
A few more days.

Bianjing.

Mrs. Yongchangbo planned to hold a polo match and invited many officials and their children from Bianjing.

The Sheng family is also among them.

Logically speaking, given the official rank of the Sheng family, they are not qualified to participate in such a gathering of children from a distinguished family.

However, first of all, the young prince of Qi State and Gu Tingye were both studying in the Sheng family.

Secondly, Mrs. Sheng, the only daughter of the Yongyi Hou family, had a lot of connections in Bianjing back then.

Thirdly, the British father-in-law visited the Sheng family.

For these reasons, Mrs. Yongchangbo invited them too.

Originally, Wei Shu didn't want Minglan to go, but when he saw Minglan's look a little disappointed, he felt a little distressed, so he asked her to follow Wang Ruofu.

Of course, Zhang Guifen, who has fallen in love with polo since playing a game of polo the year before last, must go.

 Sorry, it's late
