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

Chapter 198: Old Mrs. Sheng’s purpose, interesting stories from Wei Yuan’s childhood
Youyang, the old residence of the Sheng family.

As Mrs. Sheng arrived, the entire big house, including Sheng Wei, Pinlan's grandmother and others, came to greet her in person.

The eldest lady held Mrs. Sheng's hand firmly and couldn't help but greet her and said:

"You and I, sisters, have not seen each other for a whole year. How are you doing?"

Mrs. Sheng smiled and said: "Everything is fine, sister, how about you?"

The only daughter of the Yongyi Hou family had very few close friends in her life, and the old lady in the eldest house was definitely one of them.

The old lady nodded and said, "Everything is fine."

At this time, Sheng Wei said from the side: "Mom, aunt, I have asked the servants to prepare wine and food. Let's go inside and eat and chat."

The two elders nodded one after another and walked hand in hand to the main hall.

At this time, Sheng Wei looked at Changbai and the others and said one after another:

The old lady agreed to come here just to finalize the matter.

As long as we meet each other, everything will be easy to discuss.

"Minglan's mother is a royal decree. Due to emotions and reasons, we must give Ming Yatou the status of a legitimate daughter."

"Ming girl is still in the name of forgiveness, but as a legitimate daughter, do you understand what I mean?"

If Sheng Wei wants to see Wei Yuan, he must use Minglan's face.

When she opened her mouth, it was always difficult for Mrs. Sheng to refuse.
"Okay, then I will go back after attending my sister's birthday."

"."

"Girl Ming, if anyone dares to speak against you during these days in Youyang, uncle will make the decision for you."

Minglan naturally became a legitimate daughter.

"In this way, I can find a good and auspicious day and put the girl Ming in the name of my younger brother and sister Wang. I wonder what my aunt wants?"

Sheng Wei said: "As a family, just say whatever you want. Who will blame you for saying the wrong thing?"

Doesn’t Mrs. Sheng not know what he means?
Sheng Hong wanted her to come to Youyang before, wasn't he just trying to take advantage of Minglan's reputation to find an opportunity?

Mrs. Sheng shook her head and said, "Minglan's mother is a royal concubine recognized by the imperial court. Her status is no less than that of the mistress of the house."

"This matter will be discussed later."

The implication is that Wei Shu intends to move his status up in the family tree.

"Chang Feng will take the exam with your brother next year, are you ready?"

Hearing this, Sheng Wei smiled and said, "What my aunt said is absolutely true. Considering the girl's status today, she is still a concubine. It is a bit unreasonable."

but
Sheng Wei frowned and said, "Aunt, there haven't been such rules since ancient times."

The Sheng family tree has always been kept in Sheng Wei's hands.

"Girl Ming, why do you seem to be a little angry after meeting your uncle? You often came here when you were a child, have you forgotten?"

If you want to use Ming Yatou to see her uncle, then you should do something for Ming Yatou.

"Brother Bai, it may be a good thing that there is no major exam this year. Even a businessman like me knows that the court will make big moves. It is not too late to postpone it for a year."

Minglan, Molan, Changbai, Changsong and others were all eating elsewhere.

The genealogy is in his hands, and he cannot act arbitrarily. He needs to discuss it with the elders of the Sheng family.

After that, Xiang Shengwei smiled and said:
"Bringing this girl Minglan to Youyang actually has another reason. Girl Ming has been with me since she came to the capital, but she has always been a concubine."

Mrs. Sheng responded with a smile.

"In a few days, my nephew will go to Hangzhou to do some business. Then our whole family will go to Hangzhou to have some fun."

If you want to change your concubine's birth to your first wife's birth, you really need to come to Youyang.

Going to Hangzhou is just a pretext.

After that, he looked at Changbai and said with a smile:

Mrs. Sheng said: "Forgiveness and Ruofu are ranked in the same row. Forgiveness is a decree, and it should be so."

Changbai and others responded one by one. When it was Minglan's turn, she just smiled and said,
"There's no reason to look crude. I'm not afraid of saying the wrong thing tomorrow."

The eldest lady said earnestly, "Sister, it's hard for you to come here once, so please stay longer."

While everyone was eating, Sheng Wei deliberately spoke to Mrs. Sheng:

Mrs. Sheng's table was filled with elders from the Sheng family.

"Rules are no greater than the emperor's orders."

"My birthday is about a month away. Let's have a good time while you're here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the juniors of the Sheng family all laughed out loud, and for a moment, they felt less unfamiliar.

Youyang is the foundation of the Sheng family.

"Ru'er and Mo'er are getting more and more handsome, and they will definitely find a good family in the future."

I heard that Wei Yuan's closest confidant is also Mrs. Sheng's grandnephew. With this relationship, he will definitely be able to ask for a meeting with Wei Yuan.

Sheng Wei thought for a while and asked, "Does my cousin know about this?"

Mrs. Sheng said: "I will tell him."

Sheng Wei nodded and said: "In that case, you are my elder Sheng, so my nephew will naturally obey your arrangements."

After solving this matter, Mrs. Sheng finally finished a task on her mind.

With Wei Yuan here and Ming Lan having the status of a legitimate daughter, she will definitely find a good family in the future.

"My nephew saw that Mo Lan's girl has also arrived. If Mo Lan knew that she would become a legitimate daughter tomorrow, would she be unhappy?"

Sheng Weiwei considers this situation for juniors who do not belong to his own lineage, which shows that he is quite considerate.

Old Mrs. Sheng said: "Early years ago, I told Mrs. Lin that Mo Lan would be raised by Ruofu. In this way, Mo Lan would naturally be the legitimate daughter."

"But Mrs. Lin doesn't want to, and she doesn't forgive her status. Who can she blame?"

Not to mention Lin Sushuang.

Nowadays, Wei Shuyi's status in the family is basically equal to that of Wang Ruofu.

If anything happens at home, Wang Ruofu will discuss it with Wei Shuyi. After the farce when Hualan got married, the two of them are getting along more and more harmoniously.

There won't be any trouble for the time being.

As for Wang Ruofu's sister, Aunt Kang, she has also been banned by the Kang family and is not allowed to go out, so it is difficult to cause any more trouble.

If she really dared to expose it again, it would damage Wei Shu's will, and Wei Yuan would not need to take action. The British princess would be the first to spare her.

The Zhang family finally received a foster daughter with a gentle personality, so she should hold her in the palm of her hand.

Now, in the eyes of Mrs. Sheng, the Sheng family owes Wei Shuyi and her daughter.

Therefore, Mrs. Sheng not only wants Wei Shuyi to be on an equal footing with Wang Ruofu in the family, but also in terms of etiquette.

This is one of the purposes of the old lady coming to Youyang.
-
After everyone from the second room of the Sheng family came to Youyang.

Wei Yuan has also detoured to Yangzhou Fucheng and arrived at Guangling City under Yangzhou's rule.

When marching with personal guards, it is impossible for no one to know along the way.

So, the governor of Yangzhou and all the officials in the territory came to the outside of Guangling City to wait for Wei Yuan.

At this time, Wei Yuan was lost in thought by a small lake not far from Guangling County.

Fifty steps away from the small lake, there is a pavilion that has been in disrepair for many years and has become dilapidated.

Wei Yuan stayed by the lake for a while, and then sat in the broken pavilion for a while.

Chen Daniu and others originally wanted to clean the room and let Wei Yuan sit down, but he didn't care. He smiled and said to Chen Daniu and others: "When I was young, my father often took me to catch fish in that lake. If you are tired, let me rest in this pavilion."

"I remember that there was still a house to the east, but now there is no trace of anyone living there."

The personal guard Jiang Ji bowed and said: "Commander Wei, in recent years, banditry has been common in Yangzhou and Jinling. The local officials have ordered individual families living outside the city to move to the city to avoid banditry. Perhaps because of this, There are no traces of other people’s lives here.”

匪患
Did you know that once Minglan and Mrs. Sheng returned to Youyang, they encountered banditry?

It seems to be related to the rebel party, I can’t remember clearly.

"Can the local banditry problem be solved?"

Wei Yuan thought to himself that if he hadn't solved it before, he would just solve it easily and it would be a welcome gift to the people in his hometown.

Jiang Ji responded: "Back to Commander Wei, when we passed through the southeast, we had eradicated the banditry in various places one by one."

Wei Yuan nodded.

At this time, Chai Gong, who was sent to Guangling by Wei Yuan, came here. When he saw Wei Yuan, he told him that the officials of Yangzhou were waiting outside the city to greet him.

Wei Yuan waved his hand and said: "I won't enter the city and let them all disperse. I want to be more clean."

Chai Gong said "nuo", mounted a fast horse, and went to Guangling to convey Wei Yuan's intention to all officials.

These officials did not dare to go against Wei Yuan's wishes, so they had to stay in Guangling City temporarily and planned to find an opportunity to visit again.

Later, Wei Yuan asked the army to camp outside the city and not disturb the people.

He went to the city with only a few personal guards.

The bodyguards in armor opened the way, and Wei Yuan was sitting on the carriage. Pedestrians on the street were unable to avoid him, but they ended up in peace.

From time to time, he would open the car curtain and look at both sides of the street, and distant memories immediately came to his mind.

He remembered that there used to be a sesame seed seller on this street, which was very delicious, but now he has disappeared. It is true that times have changed and things and people have changed.

However, I also saw some familiar shops, some of which had their entrance decorations changed, and some of which were still the same as before.

When you come to a place called 'Yingcai Lane'.

Wei Yuan slowly got off the carriage.

Eight personal guards stood tall and majestic on both sides of the carriage.

Wei Yuan instructed: "You guys, just stand here and follow me in from a distance."

Now Chen Daniu is also a face-saving person.

Wei Yuan rarely calls him "Daniu" in front of others.

Soon, following his memory, Wei Yuan came to the place where he once lived. The house had been replaced by another family.

In the early years, Wei Yuan's parents fell ill. In order to treat their parents' illness, they sold their house in the county and the family returned to their hometown outside the city.

My hometown is in a place called "Weijia Village". The ancestral temples of the Wei family members living in Guangling are basically in that village.

Wei Yuan looked at the house in front of him, his thoughts racing.

Chen Daniu suddenly interrupted: "Brother, how about we spend money to buy this house?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said: "If you wanted to buy it, you would have bought it long ago. I will probably rarely come to this place in my life, so it is useless to buy it."

While they were talking, two children suddenly appeared playing in the alley.

One of the children suddenly tripped another child, pinned him down, pinched the child's neck, and said angrily:
"This is mine, give it back to me!"

The child who was pressed to the ground held a wooden sword firmly in his hand and said through gritted teeth:
"If you don't give it, if you dare to hit me, you will be dead. I will tell my brother when I get back!"

At this time, a young and strong man walked out of a courtyard and said:

"You two are fighting again! Zhao'er, let go quickly!"

The child who called the omen immediately stood up and stood in front of the young man in a dignified manner.

As for the child who was pressed on the ground, he slowly stood up, stuck out his tongue at the child named Zhao'er, and said:

"Uncle, I just want to play with this wooden sword. Brother Zhao'er is going to hit me. It's not like I won't give it back to him!"

Wei Yuan looked at the young man and was slightly stunned.

Chen Daniu suddenly said, "You child, how can you lie? It was obviously you who stole his wooden sword first!"

When the young and strong man saw Chen Daniu, who was wearing armor and wearing a saber at his waist, he was immediately startled and said quickly:
"Master Jun, it's just children playing around, don't be offended."

Chen Daniu waved his hand and motioned for them to leave.

The young and strong man quickly urged the two children to go home.

At this moment, Wei Yuan said tentatively: "But Jiang He?"

Hearing this, the young and strong man was stunned and said: "May I ask who you are...?"

He has no longer used the name Jiang He.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "The sun is going down on the Jiang River, and your life will not be long!"

Jiang He was stunned.

He suddenly remembered a Wei family boy who he often bullied when he was a child.

Because that family is new to this alley.

And he and several boys in the alley grew up together, and they bullied the newly arrived Wei family.

The Wei family was weak and unable to defeat his own group, so he always asked his eldest sister to stand up for him.

Once, the Wei family learned his name and told people in the alley all day long that Jianghe was declining and his life was not long.

A few years later, the Nawei family sold the house and moved away.

Later, the phrase "Jiang He is declining" became known to more and more people. In desperation, he had to change his name.

Now, I heard that the Wei family has become a big shot in the court.

The person in front of me is surrounded by armor-clad guards, and he looks familiar, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Jiang He couldn't help but shudder and said in disbelief:
"Are you Wei Yuan, the son of the Wei family in the past?"

Wei Jiazi?
Upon hearing these three words, Newton Chen shouted angrily: "How brave! How dare you speak rudely to my general, you should be killed!"

As soon as these words came out, the two children were frightened and cried.

Then, Jiang He fell to his knees with a plop, fanning his face hard.

"General Wei, General Wei, it's all the fault of the common people. The common people didn't know you were back. I hope you can forgive me. Please forgive me."

"Things that happened in childhood are just common senselessness. Please don't take it personally."

After fanning him a few times, Wei Yuan saw that his face was swollen, obviously due to excessive force.

He walked forward, helped Jiang He up, and said with a smile:

"I have forgotten everything about my childhood."

"This one named Zhao'er is your child?"

"In the blink of an eye, they all have a family and a career."

As he said that, Wei Yuan wanted to touch the head of Zhao'er.

Jiang He only felt that he was here for revenge today. When Wei Yuan reached out his hand, he quickly hugged his child and begged:

"General Wei, I know I was wrong, really wrong. Please, my lord, there are a lot of them."

Wei Yuan shook his head and said: "It's just a funny thing from childhood. Whoever hasn't had conflicts in childhood, the past is in the past."

"I came here today. Firstly, I wanted to see the place where I once lived, and secondly, I wanted to see if I could meet some old friends."
