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 Palace.

But Wei Yuan, the younger brother of Wei Shuyi, 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 most of the so-called assisting the government 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 what about 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 complicated as Lin Sushuang's. Wei Xiaoniang is in a position of power. For us, it will be a hundred benefits without any harm."

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 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 thoughts were racing in his heart.

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 him with a thoughtful look on his face and smiled: "What? Are you not happy about being knighted by an official?"

Wei Yuan shook his head, "Being promoted to an official position is one of the happy events in life. How can students be unhappy? It's just that in the past, rewards were given only when merit was discussed after the war. 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 used to be a palace for a prince. Later, the prince committed a crime and the house was confiscated. 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 bigger 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 merciless request. I am afraid that the house that 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 tell me, 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 are like father and son, so there is no need to be so polite."

"The war is now stalemate. Xixia and Liao will not easily stop fighting unless they have a good result. I guess this war may last for two or three years."

"By then, you will return to the capital, and Fen'er will also be of age. I will definitely give you two a grand wedding."

Wei Yuan was stunned.

Since Zhang Fu came to Daizhou.

As long as he was not discussing the war, or when Wei Yuan and he were alone.

Zhang Fu would always talk about this topic.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this matter.

"Is this all you hope for? Marry your daughter off as soon as possible?"

Wei Yuan smiled.

Zhang Fu said earnestly: "I will leave Fen'er in your hands. I am relieved."

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

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

Snowing?

After hearing the news, Wei Yuan and Zhang Fu smiled at each other and went out of the camp without saying anything.

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

Zhang Fu was in a good mood, "We can have a good New Year in the frontier."

——

A few days later.

Bianjing.

The wife of Yongchang Bo planned to hold a polo match and invited many children of officials and officials in Bianjing.

The Sheng family was also among them.

Logically speaking, the Sheng family was not qualified to attend such a gathering of children from noble families in terms of their official rank.

However, firstly, the young master of the Qiguo family and Gu Tingye were both studying in the Sheng family.

Secondly, the only daughter of the Yongyi Marquis, Old Lady Sheng, had a lot of connections in Bianjing.

Thirdly, the wife of the Duke of Ying had been to the Sheng family.

For these reasons, the wife of Yongchang Bo invited them as well.

Originally, Wei Shuyi didn't want Minglan to go, but seeing that Minglan looked a little lost, he felt a little distressed, so he let her go with Wang Ruofu.

Of course, Zhang Guifen, who has loved playing polo since she played a game of polo two years ago, must also go.

Sorry, it's late
