Chapter 930 Yes, Bai was moved!

After filling my stomach, I planned to go to sleep for a while. Because I got up too early every day, I had to practice basic horse walking skills this afternoon. At my original age, my muscles and bones have grown up, so I have to exercise more frequently.

But here I was lying on the bed and just closed my eyes when Chang Sui Ping An came over.

He bowed and said in salute: "Sir, the Lord has sent someone to ask you to go to the study room in the main courtyard!"

"Alas~" Yuan Wenshao opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. The old man had a lot of free time at noon, but of course he could only think about it in his heart, which he never dared to say out loud.

"understood!"

He got up and was helped by the maid to change into a blue-gray robe. Tao Ranju took the No. 2 follower Ping An away from him and walked towards the main courtyard.

Uncle Yuan is the head of the family, so he has many people to serve. When they see people coming in, they all put down their work.

He bent down and saluted: "See you, Sir!"

"Yes!" Yuan Wenshao nodded slightly and nodded in response. In this feudal society, dignity is the most important thing. Even the servants would feel uncomfortable if he was so kind.

At this time, the steward of the courtyard also came over and bowed respectfully.

"Second brother, I'm waiting for you in the study!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Manager Hu~"

For cheap daddy's confidants, you still have to do some superficial work, and your attitude must be a little different from ordinary servants!

In the study, Uncle Yuan was sitting on the imperial chair, practicing calligraphy with a brush. He looked quite majestic, and with his serious look, those who didn't know thought he was busy with some big business there.

Yuan Wenshao quickly bowed and saluted, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart. Feudal society was troublesome in this regard. He didn't know how many times he had to salute in a day.

"Father, you called me!"

"Brother Shao is here, come and see how the calligraphy "Father" looks like?" Uncle Yuan smiled happily and waved to his son.

Yuan Wenshao heard the words and leaned over to take a look. The corner of his mouth twitched at that time. How should he evaluate this? It is indeed a bit against his will to say good things and he will not be able to pass his own test, but it is not appropriate to tell the truth.

In other words, a child who has just been born can probably write better than this cheap old man. Back then, grandpa and his old man didn't care about it?

I still couldn't say what was in my heart, so I could only praise against my will: "Well... my father's words are sonorous and powerful, and that's why... the child has little talent and little learning, so I really don't dare to make any comments~"

"Okay, stop trying to think of words here, I know what level I am at~" After speaking, Uncle Yuan threw the brush aside in a depressed tone, sat on the chair and picked up the tea cup.

"Brother Shao, my father has seen the progress during this period. I heard that Tiantian and your grandfather used to practice martial arts with each other. This is great!"

"The prosperity of the Yuan family will depend on Brother Chun and young people like you..."

Listening to his tirade, Yuan Wenshao sat on his chair with his hands numb. Although his face pretended to be listening attentively, in his heart he really wanted to shout into his ear right now.

"You have free time at noon. You called me here just to listen to your nonsense. Can you get down to business quickly?"

"Cough!" Uncle Yuan, who had been talking for a full quarter of an hour, probably because he felt embarrassed, coughed lightly and got back to the topic.

"Brother Shao, you have been appointed. Nancheng Army Sizheng is an eighth-rank successor. Commander Yang used to be your grandfather's old subordinate. I have already said hello to you as my father!"

"Actually, I don't quite agree with this position. Although this manager's level is not high, in fact, the things he manages are very complicated!"

"You are only 18 years old this year. If you don't handle it properly, you can easily get into trouble. There are so many powerful people in the capital this time. If you offend those big shots, you won't be able to handle it~"

"Originally, I planned to find you a job in the Army Yamen. I would practice some training first, but it didn't work out. The commander-in-chief... forget it, there are some things you don't need to know!"

"Anyway, just remember one thing. You must be careful when running errands. You must not rush forward in everything. And don't look at the soldiers and minor officials under you. Their ranks are not high-ranking. You must always have a good relationship! "

"I remember my father!" Yuan Wenshao replied with a very serious expression.

At this time, the impatience in my heart has long since disappeared, because this is a good word. Old Yuan was able to go from a sinecure position as a palace clerk to the subsequent restoration of his title. It seems that he still has two brushes, otherwise he will be deprived of his title. There are so many people who have been given the title of nobility, why is it that only the Yuan family has been restored to the title of nobility? Uncle Yuan smiled and stroked his beard, quite satisfied with his son's attitude.

Feeling unhappy, he shouted directly outside: "Lao Hu, have you prepared all the things I asked you to prepare?"

After a while, Manager Hu walked in, holding a box in his hand.

He smiled and replied: "Master, everything is ready!"

When Uncle Yuan saw that he was about to come over and put it on the table, he quickly waved his hand to stop him and said, "Hey, don't take it over. If I don't want to regret it after seeing it, just give it to Brother Shao~"

"Sir, there are 100 silver coins here. The master asked me to prepare them for you!"

As he spoke, Manager Hu placed the wooden box on the small table next to Yuan Wenshao and opened the lid. The copper coins inside were very eye-catching.

"Father, what are you..." Yuan Wenshao looked at the copper coins in confusion.

This is a lot of money, almost equivalent to nearly a year's salary of an eighth-grade official. The Earl's Mansion is not wealthy now.

Uncle Yuan sighed when he saw this, stood up and walked over with his hands behind his back, a look of melancholy on his face as he spoke.

"My family is not rich now, so I can only give you this little support. Jingcheng has his own small yamen. If there is nothing to do, I will reward his subordinates with more money, and those people can do their best~"

"I specially asked Lao Hu to change all the silver into copper coins, so that it can be convenient for you to use. Although the money is a little less, it should take a while!"

"Thank you, father~" Yuan Wenshao stood up again and bent over his luggage.

This time, the word "father" was called with a little more sincerity. I felt warm in my heart, and it was true that I was a little touched.

Uncle Yuan patted his son on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Okay, don't act like a child, go back to the Yamen and do your errands properly, and don't let down your father's hard work~"

After that, without a word of conversation, Yuan Wenshao stood up and left. The main reason was that he couldn't leave. The cheap dad was anxious to enjoy the singing and dancing, so he still had a good eye, so don't wait for him to start chasing people away.

Before they could return to the hospital, they saw Hu Guan running out in a hurry. Thinking that his father had something to say, he stopped and turned around.

"Sir, do you have anything else to do?"

"Did father just forget something?"

Manager Hu looked a little embarrassed. The second young master was being taken seriously at the moment and it was difficult to just turn around and leave, so he gave a simple explanation.

"Uh... I'm not looking for you, but the master has ordered someone to go to Huayan Pavilion to buy rouge and gouache for Zhao Xiaoniang~"

"Go ahead~" Yuan Wenshao waved his hand helplessly.

I was really touched just now. I deserve to die in poverty in the Earl's Mansion, because Hua Yange is known as one of the best rouge shops in Bianjing City, and a single purchase costs one hundred and eighty taels.

This little activity fund given to him by the pained look on his face just now is almost the same as the reward that his old man gave to his beloved concubine. This old man is too unreliable. It seems that Mrs. Yuan does not have such expensive rouge.

Do you want to go over and reveal it later?

Yuan Wenshao felt a little entangled in his heart.

Ping An, who was holding a money box next to him, saw that his young master was in a daze, so he asked weakly.

"Sir, shall we go back directly?"

"Go back!" After Yuan Wenshao came to his senses, he turned his head and glanced at the yard, and then walked forward at the lead...
