Chapter 53: Visiting the Earl's Palace (Follow up on Sunday)

On the third morning, Yuan Wenshu was resting today. He called Minglan early in the morning and waited for breakfast to go and have a look.

In fact, it’s not that Yuan Wenshu is so excited because this is his future home and the result of his struggle over the years. How could he not be excited?

It was in this mood that Yuan Wenshu and Minglan took Xiao Tao and the people sent by their grandmother to go out together. Minglan and the others were sitting in the carriage while Yuan Wenshu rode a horse in front of the carriage, and his personal soldiers were distributed around the carriage.

When he arrived at the door of the mansion, Sheng Hong was already waiting inside. He looked happy when he saw Yuan Wenshu and his daughter coming, because only he knew how magnificent the house was built by him.

Sheng Hong and Yuan Wenshu entered the mansion without long politeness. The two words "Imperialized plaques on Zhongjing Bo Mansion above the main entrance are very small. There are five pairs of halberds on both sides of the main entrance, and the two stone lions are also extremely majestic.

As soon as you enter the mansion, you will be a downward house and pass by the gatehouse. This is the main courtyard of the Zhongjing Bo Mansion. On the left are three wing rooms for Zhiye's personal soldiers to live in. On the right are stables next to it, and an ear room is built for the groom to live in.

Going further inside, there is a corner door on both sides of Yimen after entering, and on the left is his outer study room on the right is the wing room for guests to stay. Facing the Yimen, Yuan Wenshu is the place where he usually discusses affairs. There is no name yet, and there is a martial arts practice ground between Yimen and the Deliberation Hall.

There are warm cabinets on both sides of the hall, and then there is an outer kitchen. After passing the conference hall, the inner door will be there and you will reach the backyard.

On the left side of the Neiyi Gate is a row of wing rooms where the female envoys live, and on the right side is the inner kitchen. The one facing the Neiyi Gate is a total of five main rooms in the inner courtyard. It is also the place where the female guests stay after they arrive.

Behind the scenes where Minglan and Yuan Wenshu live are two rows of wing rooms on the left and right sides. On the right, the female envoys, which are the places where Xiao Tao and the others live, are located. On the left, the inner study room is usually the books and account books that the two like to read. They are usually guarded by people.

As for the further back, it is the ancestral hall. The main room is the flower room on both sides of the ancestral hall, and the right side is the rockery flowing water and the middle of the ancestral hall is separated by a door.

In front of the door is a pavilion for enjoying the scenery in summer. There is a back door on the side of the flower room, which is the back door of the Earl's Mansion and the front yard also have corner doors.

This can be said to be the first time Yuan Wenshu and Minglan visited such a large mansion, and they were confused for a moment. In fact, it was not a fault for him, although he was nominally a count.

But in fact, his mansion was built according to the regulations of the Marquis' Mansion. Of course, it was still a little worse than the Marquis' Mansion of Ningyuan, but it was not worse than the Marquis of the Marquis of the Ruthless.

This was also one of the rewards from Emperor Yongxing at that time, but there was no clear order but only records. Therefore, for Yuan Wenshu and others, this was a large mansion that they had never seen since childhood. As for the Zhongqin Bo Mansion, the house of the ministers who were later rewarded by the officials was far inferior to this one.

Yuan Wenshu and Minglan spent a morning wandering around and took a look at everything. Yuan Wenshu was happy that he would be a wealthy family in the future, and Minglan was thinking at this time that I could manage such a big house in the future?

What the two of them thought was not mentioned now. The house was almost done. After all, it was repaired on the original house. It was not a big change, so it was still relatively quick.

As for the servants, some of them were rewarded by the government. Mrs. Yuan brought some Minglan to bring some. If it wasn't enough, you could buy them again. Now it would be enough to have these people for the time being.

Just waited for the mansion to complete and then arranged everyone in. Now Yuan Wenshu is not in a hurry. After all, there is still some work that has not been done yet. It will take a month to move in.

It will be the Chinese New Year that it will be unsuitable to call everyone to move, so I might as well move after the Chinese New Year. Yes, Yuan Wenshu decided so happily.

Sheng Hong and Minglan didn't know that Yuan Wenshu had already decided on this matter in his heart, and he could just move around before Sheng Changbai picked up his bride in the beginning of the next year.

After moving, Sheng Changbai will go to pick him up. At that time, the Sheng family should prepare for the marriage. He is not suitable to stay in the Sheng family anymore. After all, the wife of the eldest wife will come in soon. It’s not without rules that make people laugh at, right?

In fact, Yuan Wenshu doesn’t care which one, but after all, the Sheng family still needs shame and cannot let the Hai family make a joke, right?

At this time, the Hai family also received a message from the Yongyi Hou Mansion to send someone to deliver it. It was said that the reason why the Hai family favored the Sheng family was actually because of the Wang family. Sheng Changbai was the most outstanding descendant of the Wang family.

Therefore, the political resources of the Wang family will definitely be tilted towards Sheng Changbai. In addition, Sheng Changbai is a righteous gentleman, and his help will be a third-ranked person in the future. Therefore, the Hai family chose the Sheng family.

But unexpectedly, there was still an unexpected joy. I thought that the old lady of the Sheng family had broken off contact with the Yongyi Hou Mansion. I didn’t expect that Xu Huizu would make things difficult for his aunt’s sake, and not say that he would send troops to escort him at that time.

It can be said that this also reassuring the Hai family. Why did the Hai family insist on Sheng Changbai coming to Haining to propose marriage this time? In fact, it was because the elders of the Hai family wanted to meet this son-in-law.

Let’s see if he is a gentleman from Duanfang like he inquired. If he had a fake, he would not regret the marriage, but the Hai family would not give Sheng Changbai political resources in the future.

It was just that when I first inquired about the Sheng family, Yuan Wenshao had not happened. The Hai family recently learned that the Sheng family and the newly promoted hereditary count of the Yuan family have become more and more kinship.

News from the capital, Yuan Wenshu took advantage of the reason of the six girls of the Sheng family to stir up a big drama in the capital, and only then did he get a Duke's mansion to beg for mercy.

Moreover, Yuan Wenshu also became the third heir of the Northwest Army. It can be said that no matter how scheming or means are, and the power in his hands is even more popular.

Originally, the news from the Hai Family Capital was that the Sheng family should not continue to see the situation with the Sheng family for the time being. After all, the Sheng family is now at the forefront of the storm and the Sheng family is a bit too popular at this time.

At this time, the few people in the Hai family who were officials in Beijing were all Hanlin, and they were so noble that they could not be in the position of noble. It was a bit out of place with the Northwest at this time.

However, the old patriarch of the Hai family went against the opposition and directly followed the agreement, which allowed the marriage between the two families to continue. Otherwise, the head of the Hai family was smart, first of all, if the marriage was regretful, the two families would become dying.

Even if you drag it, you will have to make enemies. After all, if the Yongyi Hou Mansion is intervened now, it will no longer be the business of the two families. It is important to the Jiangnan area. Anything that has something to do with the Yongyi Hou Mansion will be nothing small.

With their family as the official, Yongyi Hou was embarrassed by everything now that his family finally had some chance to breathe, he couldn't let it go.

As for the impact of engaging in relationships with the Northwest, it is inevitable that the Qi State has always been a partner of the civil servant group among the nobles.
