"What? Earl?!" Wang Ruofu stood up suddenly, her eyes widened. When she was in Yangzhou, she boasted to the families that her daughter was able to marry into the Earl's Mansion and have a decent life. However, the man Hualan married was not the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion. But Wei Shuyi's younger brother Wei Yuan is a real Earl! His status is far higher than the man Hualan will marry! "Ruru, don't lie to your mother, are you really given a title?" Wang Ruofu couldn't believe it. It's really too difficult to be given a title. Her father was once a Grand Master, but he had never been given any title. In the Great Zhou, it was as easy as ascending to heaven for a civil official to be given a title, unless he had the merit of founding a country and assisting in the administration. Founding a country is no longer realistic, and the so-called assisting in the administration mostly refers to the merit of following the dragon. Rulan said: "Mother, how can I lie to you about this?"

Hualan said: "Mother, Minglan's uncle's title, what does it have to do with us? Are you so excited?"

Wang Ruofu was about to cry. She originally thought that she would unite with Wei Shuyi to suppress Lin Qinshuang.

But what about now?

Even if she and Lin Qinshuang joined forces, they might not be able to suppress Wei Shuyi.

"That's a title!"

"Wei Xiaoniang's brother!"

"How can mother not be anxious?"

Wang Ruofu became more and more anxious.

Hualan smiled and said, "Mother, Wei Xiaoniang is not Lin Qinshuang."

"Wei Xiaoniang has always been quiet, never likes to argue, and never offends mother, or touches mother's power as a housekeeper."

"Besides, Wei Xiaoniang's mind is not as complicated as Lin Qinshuang. Wei Xiaoniang's power is a hundred benefits to us without any harm."

Hearing this, Wang Ruofu said in confusion, "It's okay if there is no harm, but where is the benefit?"

Hualan smiled and said, "Mother, Minglan and Rulan have a good relationship. When they were in Yangzhou, Wei Xiaoniang's My younger brother is full of praise for Changbai. "

"If we have a good relationship with Wei Xiaoniang in the future, wouldn't it be equivalent to having a good relationship with the newly promoted Wei Jueye?"

Hearing this, Wang Ruofu suddenly became clear and her face was happy, "Yes, why didn't I think of this!"

"Wei Xiaoniang is a sensible person, unlike that little bitch Lin Qinshuang!"

"Minglan has always been well-behaved and obedient, never talking back to me, and even less like that Molan!"

——

Sheng Hong heard the news that Wei Yuan was conferred a title.

He didn't even stay in the office.

He went straight back home.

He also ordered people to prepare some food.

When he arrived at Mu Cang Zhai.

He saw that Wei Shuyi and Minglan had already eaten, so he smiled and said:

"Shuyi, today your husband must accompany you for a drink."

Wei Shuyi and Minglan hurriedly stood up and greeted him. Then, the former asked in confusion: "Why is the master so happy today?"

Sheng Hong smiled and said: "Shuyi doesn't know yet? Your little brother has been conferred a title!"

"You are his elder sister. If you knew about this, you would be happy. So, your husband came to find you and have a drink with you today."

Hearing this.

Wei Shuyi smiled and said: "Master, drinking too much is harmful to your health."

Sheng Hong waved his hand, "Just a small drink, just consider it as a celebration for your little brother."

Wei Shuyi frowned slightly when he was not paying attention.

——

In the early November of the second year of Jiayou.

The government's reward for Wei Yuan has been delivered to Daizhou.

Wei Yuan received the order, and his mind was full of thoughts.

He had thought that he would be conferred a title for his merits of killing the general and seizing the flag.

But when the government's reward really came to him, everything seemed unrealistic.

In the big tent.

Zhang Fu looked at him with a thoughtful expression and smiled, "Why? Are you unhappy about being conferred a title by the government?"

Wei Yuan shook his head, "Being promoted is one of the happiest things in life, how can I not be happy? It's just that in the past, rewards were only given after the war, and now the war is not over yet."

Zhang Fu said, "This time, the two countries attacked together. My Great Zhou needs a big victory to let the people know that Xixia and Liao are just so-so."

"Since there is a big victory, there will be a big reward. It's just a reasonable thing."

Wei Yuan said, "The government also rewarded me with a mansion on Yujie, which is the most prosperous street in Bianjing City."

Zhang Fu said, "I know this house. It used to be a mansion of a duke. Later, the duke committed a crime and his house was confiscated. The house is very big, not inferior to my English duke's mansion."

Duke's mansion?

In terms of scale, it must be bigger than the earl's mansion!

Wei Yuan said, "Will this be a bit excessive?"

Zhang Fu smiled, "Who dares to say that the reward from His Majesty is excessive?"

Wei Yuan said, "Teacher, I have another unwelcome request. I'm afraid that the house rewarded by His Majesty has been abandoned for too long."

"I hope that I can ask my teacher's wife to send someone to take care of it. After all, I finally have a mansion, and I am a warrior and don't know how to take care of it."

Zhang Fu nodded and said, "Of course I should do so. Even if you don't say it, I will ask your teacher's wife to take care of it. When you return to the capital, you can move in directly."

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "So, after this war, I can stay in Bianjing?"

If you continue to stay in Daizhou, you will hardly make any progress unless you encounter a war.

But it's different in Bianjing.

You may get promoted if you say a few good words in front of the emperor.

Zhang Fu stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Majesty has conferred you a title, how could he not let you stay in the capital? Otherwise, why would he reward you with a house in the capital?" Wei Yuan's face lit up, and he bowed 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 at a stalemate now. 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 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 Duke of Qi 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
