The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 200 The Reunion of Relatives (3)
Yao Yuanzhi became an official through the imperial examination, so he has great respect for Xiao Lin who did not rely on his ancestral shadow and wholeheartedly took the imperial examination to become an official.And Wei Zhang is now a close minister of the emperor, and he was ordered by the emperor to come to the south of the Yangtze River to supervise military affairs, so Yao Yuanzhi would naturally treat him like a guest.

Yao Yanen is now the Secretary of Agriculture in Jiangnan, mainly responsible for water conservancy in the Jiangnan area.Today, because I knew my second brother was going home, I set aside a day to come and go to the yamen.Unexpectedly, Lord Xiao Hou and General Wei also came, and they just happened to accompany the guests.

Today is a family banquet, there are no other officials at the dinner table in the governor's mansion, only Yao Yuanzhi, father and son, and Xiao Linweizhang are sitting around the table.

Zhen Guogong once proposed a marriage for Wei Zhang, and it is not a secret in the Yao family that he proposed to marry Yao Yanyu.As the eldest son, Yao Yanen naturally knew.

Before, he also wondered what kind of person this General Wei was, who was so well-known in the rumors. When he saw him today, Wei Zhang was tall and tall, with cold brows and deep eyes. He was indeed a rare general.Later, after chatting and drinking a few glasses of wine, I felt that General Wei was a good person, at least better than Su Yuxiang.

Although Su Yuxiang is the son of Lord Hou, he has no possibility of inheriting the title, and also has no literary talent or military strategy to make contributions.In the future, he will just rely on the Marquis Mansion to find an official position and live under the protection of his elder brother.Compared with the General Wei in front of him, who is very capable and highly valued by Duke Zhen, he is not a little bit worse.Thinking of these things, Yao Yanen felt a little sad again.

Wei Zhang didn't know what was going on in Yao Yan'en's mind, he just sat quietly and listened to the jokes of everyone at the table.

He didn't like to talk in the first place, and now he had Xiao Lin who could talk and Tang Xiaoyi who was all-round and exquisite by his side, so naturally he didn't need to say anything.Only when Yao Yanen came to salute him with a wine glass, Fang smiled faintly, raised his glass to meet Yao Yanen, and then drank.

Although there are not many people at this family banquet, there are few thousand glasses of wine.So when it ended, it was already afternoon application time.

Moreover, the matter of Yao Yuanzhi's drunkenness at the Zhen Guogong's mansion was still in his mind. This time Governor Yao met Wei Zhang, and he was more or less worried.So General Wei was unambiguous, and directly sent Tang Xiaoyi to his door to drink to revenge Governor Yao.

The so-called brothers are like siblings, at this time, who is not going to be a brother?
However, even so, Wei Zhang himself did not drink less, and Tang Xiaoyi drank almost twice as much as Wei Zhang. Even though Tang Junmen had the reputation of not getting drunk after a thousand cups in the army, his face was already pale now. His eyes are watery.

Yao Yuanzhi asked someone to tidy up the guest room and leave a few people to live in, Xiao Lin waved his hands and said with a smile: "Today is already a disturbance. The second son just came home, and the old lady has not seen her grandson for so long, so she must have a lot to say. Today we will Don't bother me, General Wei and I will report to Lord Yao's yamen tomorrow, and Xiao will work under Lord Yao in the future, please help him a lot."

"Master Xiao is scolding Yao?" Yao Yuanzhi also drank a lot of wine, and his words were less official and more joking.

"Don't dare, dare not." Xiao Lin hurriedly cupped his fists.

Yao Yanen ordered the steward to prepare the car, and sent Wei Zhang, Xiao Lin and Tang Xiaoyi to the Jiangning Post to rest, then patted Yao Yanyi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Second brother must be tired after driving for so long. Broken. Go back and rest."

Yao Yanyi smiled and nodded: "Brother, then I'll go back first."

In the evening, the Yao family gathered in Mrs. Song's room in Ning Ruitang.Yao Yanyu stepped forward to kowtow to Yao Yuanzhi.

Yao Yuanzhi looked at his daughter who had been unknown for 16 years and soared into the sky as soon as she entered Yundu City, sighed deeply, brushed her beard and said, "Get up, just come back."

Yao Yanyu stood up and saluted Yao Yanen again.

Yao Yanen said with a smile: "My sister went to the capital, and she is really sensible, she seems to be a different person."

Yao Yanyu could only smile and said, "Before, Yanyu was young and ignorant, so the old lady, the old lady and the two older brothers were worried."

Mrs. Song said with a smile: "What you said is really outrageous. He is your elder brother, so he should have worried about you."

"Sit down." Yao Yuanzhi ordered, and the two brothers Yao Yanen and the two sisters Yao Yanyu took their seats one after another.

Regarding the real reason for Yao Yanyu's return this time, Yao Yanyi had already quietly explained to his father that Yao Yuanzhi knew that his daughter would not be able to stay at home, so he felt even more emotional.

Mrs. Song didn't know about it, she only knew that this concubine's granddaughter quietly learned exquisite medical skills, not only cured her first granddaughter's illness, but also healed the feet of Duke Zhen Guo's son, and was deeply loved by Princess Ninghua.

The old lady thought that such a second girl would naturally want to marry a good family. On the other hand, no matter who married her granddaughter, it would be equivalent to boarding the big ship of the Duke of Zhen's mansion. .

After thinking about it, Mrs. Song immediately thought of someone, so she asked Yao Yuanzhi: "It's a great joy for you to be given the job of a fifth-rank official by His Majesty's grace in the imperial examination high school. The relatives and friends at home must be Please please."

Yao Yuanzhi hurriedly said: "What the old lady said is true. My son also thinks that there have been no major events in the family for a few years. Now the matter of Yanyi is indeed a big happy event in the family, and we should celebrate it well. But although the Queen Mother is filial After a year, Feng Ge married into the Marquis's Mansion, no matter what, he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, after all, it should not be too publicized. Just invite the close relatives in the family."

After saying these words, Yao Yuanzhi looked at Wang again, and said: "You should also be cautious about congratulatory gifts. It's better to decline things that are too expensive. The emperor doesn't like the big officials in the frontier to take advantage of the situation to make money. After the scientific examination, Lord Xiao Hou and Yan Yi won the fifth-rank officials. I don’t know how many people are secretly jealous, so let’s not pass the talk to others.”

Mrs. Wang replied with a smile: "Grandpa said yes, we all know it." Then, he asked Mrs. Jiang to bring the guest list to Yao Yuanzhi, and said, "Jingnan Bofu (Song's natal family) , Weaving Mansion (Wang's natal family), Yangzhou Observation Envoy's Mansion (Jiang's natal family) and Ning Zhifu (Ning's father) must be invited. In addition to the old friend of the old man, there are several other houses in several houses. My family is an old relative of our family, so we can’t be left behind, otherwise people will say that we are arrogant. As for other prefectures, there is no need to post posts. If someone insists on coming to have a glass of wedding wine, we can’t stop them. Just accept a valuable gift."

Yao Yuanzhi nodded and said: "Madam can do these things as she sees."

Yao Yanyu listened silently from the side, thinking to herself that her father was really careful in handling things, and it could be said that nothing leaked.

Yao Yanyu didn't pay much attention to these things before, but after experiencing what happened in the capital, she also knows that being human and worldly is a skill that a person must master to survive in this world.Whether she likes it or not, she must slowly learn to mediate with these people.
