Chapter 7 Late but arrived
The next few days.

Yuan Wenchun had always wanted to discuss the marriage between the two families with the Sheng family, but was often interrupted by Yang Wenyuan, and the topic naturally turned to topics related to Bianjing.

Yuan Wenchun: The excitement belongs to them, I have nothing.

After suppressing his temper for several days, Yuan Wenchun became a little impatient and asked Sheng Hong directly whether he still wanted the two families to get married.

Sheng Hong was just waiting for Yuan Wenchun to say this.

"From what I can see now, I'm afraid our two families are not destined to be married, so we can only give up!"

"Humph! Well, that's what you said."

Yuan Wenchun uttered some harsh words and stormed out of the door.

Yang Wenyuan, who was standing by, kept shouting, "Da Lang, why are you coming back?"

Yuan Wenchun ignored Yang Wenyuan, the "bitch". She just wanted to go home quickly and take the betrothal gifts that were still on the way.

Yang Wenyuan took advantage of the situation and continued:

"It would be embarrassing for you to return to Beijing empty-handed. I got some red-do gifts a few days ago. Dalang, take them back with you!"

"you!"

Yuan Wenchun turned around and pointed at Yang Wenyuan indignantly, but after glancing at the row of guards standing behind him, he could only turn away.

"Incomprehensible!"

Yuan Wenchun left without taking any betrothal gifts with him.

Gu Tingye is also busy fighting for the Bai family inheritance.

Anyway, he has the will in hand, and Yang Wenyuan has assigned him ten personal guards to escort him, so it should be no problem for him to get the inheritance.

With one-fifth of his love taken away, Yang Wenyuan was left with only forty personal guards.

That's right.

On this trip, Yang Wenyuan brought fifty personal guards with him. Except for a few people who were left to guard the Marquis' Mansion, he brought the rest of the people out with him.

There is no way. As a "BOSS" that needs time to develop, you still have to pay attention to your life safety at this time.

If protection is not in place, loved ones will shed tears!
The main reason is that the time travel did not give him an invincible golden finger.

It only gives a buff that the more soldiers you have under your command, the healthier you are and the faster you recover.

Also, he is stronger than normal people.

This is also the reason why Yang Wenyuan brings so many guards when he goes out.

Although he practiced martial arts diligently after traveling through time with the help of his golden finger and was not afraid of his body being unable to bear the strain, no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he was still afraid of being challenged one-on-one (a group of people challenging him alone), so asking for help was the best option.

However, Yang Wenyuan brought so many people this time not only to protect himself, but also to recruit more people for the Marquis' Mansion.

The reason why many military families would quickly decline once the head of the family died while fighting outside.

The bottom line is that when the head of the family goes to war, in order to better control the army, he will arrange many of his own family members in the army.

In a battle at the border, the old Marquis of Pingyang wiped out the entire garrison in order to defend the gateway to the Great Zhou.

The old Marquis of Pingyang's generation had few descendants to begin with, and now the family is even more dwindling.

There has been no major war at the border for a long time, only sporadic small-scale battles.

The old Marquis of Pingyang thought this was a good opportunity to gain experience, so he waved his hand and transferred many backbone members of the Yang family in the army over.

I thought it was a good job to get some experience...

As a result, after one battle, most of the Yang family was gone.

Fortunately, in order to protect the orphans and widows who stayed in the mansion, the old Marquis of Pingyang did not withdraw all the personal soldiers in the mansion, and left behind a lot of personal guards.

Otherwise, when Yang Wenyuan traveled through time, all that would be left for him would be an empty mansion and mountains of boring gold and silver.

Not entirely. In order to take care of the Yang family, the government promoted the only remaining uncle, Yang Yuqing, to temporarily take over the position of Commander of the West Wing.

Obviously, this position was reserved for the Yang family.

Yang Wenyuan came to Yangzhou this time not only to surprise the Yuan family and tarnish his own reputation, but also to recruit people.

The more prosperous the place, the more serious the land annexation. And those farmers who are below the poverty line are the best recruits.

Don’t worry about his loyalty or not, recruit him first and then take him to the marquis’s manor.

Don't underestimate a marquisate that has been able to command an army since the founding of the country. It has been powerful for so many years, and it has annexed countless farms, both openly and secretly.

That's more than enough to let go of some people.

As an ordinary person, I am cynical; as an extraordinary person, I strike back with force!
Those who passed the test were sent to a farm near Bian Jing.

After another test, they will be allowed to marry and have children, and then they can be sent to the Hou Mansion.

This would free up the old men in the Marquis' Mansion and allow them to take up more important positions, which would also appease people's hearts.

In less than half a day, only ten of the original forty guards were left, and the rest all dispersed.

Yang Wenyuan also found a place to live in the garden.

I had nothing to do, so I thought of seeing the scenery of Yangzhou.

Being alone and feeling a little bored, he went to invite the Sheng family members to join him.

Sheng Hong had no objection and happily welcomed Yang Wenyuan into the house.

When Sheng Hualan heard that Yang Wenyuan was coming, she quickly hid in Shou'an Hall and did not come out.

Sheng Changbai thought that the Yuan family was not a good relative. He was a little grateful to Yang Wenyuan, but also a little angry that he had ruined the reputation of the Sheng family and left no room for negotiation. So after some hesitation, he politely declined on the grounds that he wanted to study.

Sheng Changfeng was a playful person, so he readily agreed.

At Lin Qinshuang's instigation, she also brought her younger sister Molan along.

The carefree Rulan only knew that she could go out and play, so she was naturally very happy and wanted to invite Minglan to join her.

But Minglan had to take care of the pregnant Wei Xiaoniang and was unwilling to go.

It just so happened that Gu Tingye also got Mr. Bai’s inheritance. He was very generous and joined in immediately.

All expenses of everyone present will be paid by me, Master Ye!

……

After having fun for a few days, I heard the news that Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu had left home.

Yang Wenyuan was stunned.

The scene where Wei Xiaoniang dies during pregnancy should be happening soon.

Yang Wenyuan had a complicated opinion about Wei Xiaoniang.

poor person must have something mean.

Wei Xiaoniang was originally a concubine bought by Old Lady Wang in order to balance Lin Qinshuang. She was sent to the Sheng family so that she could compete with Lin Qinshuang, so that Wang Ruofu could sit alone on the stage and watch the show, and take action at the right time.

The results of it……

When Wei Xiaoniang arrived at the Sheng family, she did nothing. She just stayed in her own yard every day without moving. Even when Sheng Hong showed signs of favoring her, Wei Xiaoniang pretended to refuse and found an excuse to send Sheng Hong away.

Over time, he naturally has a low status in the family.

He thinks he is noble and does not fight with others, so he can only tolerate and retreat.

Little did people know that as a beautiful concubine from a farming and reading family, a concubine with potential but not fond of competing for favor, she was undoubtedly an extremely conspicuous presence in the harem.

He kept retreating and refusing, retreating until he had no way to retreat, retreating until his death was imminent and he was still grumbling alone, secretly thinking that he had not yielded enough and that was what brought the disaster upon himself.

But at this time, Lin Qinshuang is still the head of the family...

Faced with Wei Xiaoniang, a "sister" whose positioning is extremely similar to his own, a "potential stock" who is very likely to squeeze out his favored position.

Given Lin Qinshuang's personality, she would naturally want to eliminate hidden dangers in the nips and tucks of.

Not to mention Lin Qinshuang, even if Wang Ruofu took over the family in the future, if Wei Xiaoniang could live to that time, nothing good would happen to her.

She entered the Sheng family on a mission from the Wang family, but she did not contribute anything from beginning to end. Instead, she seemed to be the one reaping the benefits more than Wang Ruofu.

I didn't find the right position from the beginning, and ended up pleasing no one.
