Chapter 20 Minglan Sends Ointment

Hearing what Wei Yuan said, Gu Tingye was secretly shocked. If his prediction was correct, the other party should know his identity.

After a pause, he clasped his fists and said, "I've heard of General Wei's name a long time ago. It's a blessing to see him today."

Wei Yuan took Minglan's little hand and looked at everyone again, "No need to say polite words. I wonder why you guys came to see me?"

Sheng Changbai, Gu Tingye and Yuan Wenchun looked at each other and bowed one after another:

"Uncle Wei, I heard that you fought against the Liao army in Yanmen. Can you tell us what you saw and heard at the border?"

"My father once said that General Wei is proficient in the art of war. I hope to be given some advice by you, General Wei."

"I heard about the deeds of the Guards at the border, so I want to make friends with heroes like you."

"."

Wei Yuan nodded thoughtfully, "I will be in Yangzhou these two days. I will tell you interesting things about the border when I have the chance."

"As for you"

He glanced at Gu Tingye and said:

"The senior that I just mentioned, the general, once gave me some pointers on my martial arts. If you are free these days, you can come to me."

Hearing the sound, Gu Tingye felt happy and quickly clasped his fists, "Then I'll thank General Wei first."

Wei Yuan nodded slightly and said to Sheng Changbai:

"You are a scholar, and so is Chang Feng, and I am a military commander. I have nothing to teach you."

"However, I heard from this girl Minglan that on weekdays, in the Sheng family, you, the elder brother, take good care of her."

"If you encounter any emergency in the future, please send someone to look for me."

Sheng Changbai bowed deeply and said, "Thank you in advance, Uncle Wei."

When they met for the first time, he felt that Wei Yuan was quite humane and not at all like a powerful warrior on the battlefield.

However, the more this happened, the more he thought that this uncle of the Wei family was unfathomable, giving people a feeling of being in an abyss.

Then, he looked at Yuan Wenchun and said with a smile: "The eldest son of Uncle Zhongqin has a bright future. It is very polite to say that he wants to make friends with Wei."

Yuan Wenchun smiled and said: "General Wei's words are serious. I heard that you were accepted as a direct disciple by the British Duke?"

Wei Yuan did not deny it, "It does happen."

After a pause, he didn't wait for Yuan Wenchun to say anything else. He knelt down, looked at Minglan, and said with a smile:

"Because of you, this person has also met. Now, can you go shopping with your uncle on the street?"

Wei Yuan said this on purpose.

Just to let them remember Minglan's good deeds.

In "Do You Know", Minglan's future husband is Gu Tingye.

However, now with his appearance, some things are changing.

As for who Minglan will marry in the future, Wei Yuan has no intention of getting involved, and will just rely on her personal wishes.

Minglan nodded in agreement.

Wei Yuan touched her little head, smiled, stood up slowly, took her little hand, and started to walk towards the gate of Shengzhai.

"Mr. Bai, come here and look for me tomorrow afternoon."

After saying that, he left.

Following the two of them were ten personal guards.

Wei Yuan said to several of them: "You go find the deputy team coach. He will give you money to buy some food in the restaurant. Don't let the brothers Paoze go hungry."

The implication is that there is no need for them to follow him and Minglan.

Later, Wei Yuan took Minglan to the richest street in Yangzhou City, and bought items worth no less than two hundred taels of silver.

For example, silk, jewelry, clothing, as well as some fine tea, cakes, and daily necessities.

Some of the items that the two of them could not take away were sent to the Sheng family by the shop boy.

After eating, in the afternoon, Wei Yuan asked Xu Changzhi to book an entire restaurant for a hundred personal guards to stay.

He had brought those people here, and as their general, he naturally wanted to keep them well fed and well-fed to the best of his ability.

As evening approached, the boys moved the things he and Minglan bought while shopping to Sheng's house.

Wei Shuyi looked at so many good things and couldn't help but said:

"This is too wasteful. We already have tables, chairs and benches at home, so why buy them again?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "These things that I bought for my sister are all of the best quality. For example, the clothes are very comfortable to wear."

Wei Shuyi was happy in his heart, but he still felt that it was too expensive for Wei Yuan to do this, as he had just become the regimental trainer.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, although the salary of military generals was higher than that of civilian officials, the Wei family did not have any profitable industry.

Wei Yuan will have many uses for his money in the future, so why waste it here.

After thinking about this, Wei Shu shook his head and said: "Return some of the extra ones, there is no shortage at home."

Wei Yuan shook his head again and said, "Sister, if you don't want it, just give it to my niece. Anyway, what I bought cannot be returned."

After a pause, he looked at the two maids, Xiaodie and Xiaotao,

"You have served my sister and Minglan for a long time and have worked hard. Each of you has chosen a piece of jewelry and a piece of silk. This is a reward for you."

Xiaodie and Xiaotao looked at each other and smiled, and quickly thanked:

"Thank you, Mr. Wei."

At this time, Minglan took out a bottle of ointment from her arms and handed it to Wei Yuan with a smile.

"When my uncle was buying silk, Minglan saw a medical clinic nearby and went there to buy it."

When Wei Yuan saw that it was ointment, he asked curiously: "What are you giving uncle's ointment for?"

Minglan said: "There are many thick calluses on my uncle's hands. This ointment is called mutton fat ointment. It has a miraculous effect on moisturizing the skin."

Wei Yuan was stunned, took the bottle of ointment, and smiled: "Our Ming girl is so nice, she loves her uncle."

Not long after.

Sheng Hong sent someone to say that he had arrested Guan Niang, who had withheld Wei Shuyi's charcoal, and brought her to the eldest lady's yard, and specially invited Wei Yuan to go over.

In "Do You Know?", Lin Qinshuang deliberately put a lot of charcoal in Wei Shuyi's yard to target Wei Shuyi, and then framed him.

It is said that Guan Niang did not withhold Wei Shuyi's charcoal, but her maid Xiaodie hid it privately.

But now, Wei Shuyi's yard is surrounded by soldiers inside and outside.

Not to mention Lin Qinshuang, even a fly can't fly over.

After a pause, Wei Yuan looked at Wei Shuyi, "Sister, go and take a look?"

The latter nodded.

Then, Wei Shuyi, Minglan, Wei Yuan, Xiaodie and more than ten sword-wielding guards came to the yard of Wang Ruofu, the eldest lady of the Sheng family.

At this time, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu were sitting on chairs, and Lin Qinshuang, who was crying non-stop, and her maid Zhou Niangzi were standing beside them.

Sheng Hong saw Wei Yuan coming and quickly stood up to greet him,

"Wei Tuanlian, there are a lot of things going on at home today. I am sorry that I have delayed explaining to you until now."

"I have asked just now. The person who has been in charge of the family recently is not my wife, but my concubine Lin."

"And she didn't know that Guan Niang, who is in charge of the charcoal fire, was so bold that she dared to privately withhold the master's charcoal fire."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan understood everything.

It seems that Lin Qinshuang has already regarded Guan Niang as an abandoned child.

After a pause, Wei Yuan looked at his sister, "Sister, what do you think you want to do with Guan Niang?"

After all, Wei Yuan is an outsider.

Sheng Hong wanted to give him an explanation because of his official position.

However, how to deal with that person still depends on the opinions of the Sheng family.

For example, the victim Wei Shuyi.

If Wei Yuan intervened directly, it would be overstepping the boundaries and being rude.

Wei Shuyi said: "Since the matter has been investigated, then let's kill her."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qinshuang hurriedly said:

"How about sending Madam Guan away?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Wei Yuan's face was deep, and hurriedly said:

"This Madam Guan has served my Sheng family for many years, and has made great contributions. Now she is blinded by greed and dares to deduct the master's things. This is really unforgivable."

"But considering that she used to be quite diligent, let her life be spared."

Deducting the master's money is serious, even beating her to death is not too much.

Now, can it be spared by just saying send her away?

Wei Yuan can't do anything to Lin Qinshuang now, because there is no evidence, but Madam Guan must not live tonight.

First, it is to make a show of force, so that the people of the Sheng family know that Wei Shuyi now has a backer.

Secondly, it is to make Lin Qinshuang afraid to act rashly, so that she will be more honest in the future.

Thinking of this, Wei Yuan said in a deep voice: "Sir Sheng, I am a rough man, and I believe that military orders are as strict as mountains. If anyone dares to disobey military orders or disrespect the general, according to military law, he should be beaten to death."

"Although this lady Guan is not a soldier, if she is allowed to live tonight, in the future, it is inevitable that someone will say that Sir Sheng is not strict in managing the family"

"In fact, this is nothing, but if it spreads to the capital, to the ears of the government, and a few imperial censors come to fan the flames, saying that Sir Sheng cannot manage his family."

"How can we talk about governing the country?"
