In the past six years, Yuan Jia has considered himself to have achieved the best level of a magistrate in Xuzhou. The most obvious manifestation of his political achievements is that there are very few beggars begging on the streets of Xuzhou Prefecture, and the taxes paid to the court in Xuzhou rank first in each state.

As a local parent, it is not easy to make the people full and the court receive sufficient taxes.

Even if Yuan Jia had other ideas about developing Xuzhou in his mind, he could only temporarily hold back because he was still a magistrate, and it was not appropriate to make drastic reforms in Xuzhou. It would be better to be promoted to an official in Beijing first and then reform from above to below after gaining real power in Beijing.

After the sixth year, Yuan Jia was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue and transferred back to the capital.

Just like six years ago, Yuan Jia took Fang Yan and his son Fu Mingyao to return to Beijing.

Inside the carriage, Fu Mingyao sat seriously in the carriage with a small face.

Yuan Jia rode a horse to guard the carriage, Fang Yan sat next to his son, talked to him about the life of the Marquis Mansion in Weining, and introduced him to other relatives: "When you return to the Marquis Mansion, you will see your grandfather and grandmother, and you will pay tribute to him. Your grandfather and grandmother like you very much. When we came to Xuzhou, they couldn't bear to part with Brother Yuan..."

Fu Mingyao said with a stern face: "Mother, my name is Fu Mingyao! I have said it many times, don't call me Brother Yuan anymore!" At a young age, he felt that this nickname was soft and had no momentum at all.

If Fang Yan had definitely agreed before, but now she said, "You can't say that when you return to the Marquis' Mansion! The nickname Yuan Ge'er was given by your grandmother for you. If you say that, grandmother will be sad. She loves you the most!"

Fu Mingyao was only two or three years old when he left the capital. He didn't remember much. He had a vague impression of his grandfather and grandmother, but he couldn't remember clearly. However, he was a filial and good child. When his mother said that his grandmother would be sad, he pursed his lips and said, "Then, okay! But you can't call me like this in front of my friends!"

Just outside the carriage, Yuan Jia heard the conversation between the mother and son in the carriage, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, if someone calls you a name directly, then he is calling you a name. When you have a word after you get the crown, we will not call your nickname."

Fu Mingyao sighed seriously and said with a serious expression: "Then it will take me a long time to add a crown and pick up the words..."

Although Fu Mingyao looks more like his father, his serious expression looks very much like his grandfather Weining Hou.

When Yuan Jia met, he couldn't help but think of Marquis Weining who hadn't met for six years.

In the past six years in Xuzhou, Yuan Jia encountered various difficulties in his administration, but because of the backing of the Weining Marquis Mansion, he was much easier than those without background. The powerful and powerful families in Xuzhou were still unwilling to offend the Weining Marquis Mansion and were willing to cooperate with him as the governor in some matters that did not involve the rise and fall of the family.

In addition, Yuan Jia has maintained close attention to the situation in the capital over the past six years, thanks to the help of Weining Hou.

Now that the six-year period has expired, Yuan Jia has been transferred back to the capital, which is just enough to make up for the popular lack of the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Naturally, Marquis of Weining is indispensable to work hard in it.

The various political resources and connections left by the ancestors of the Weining Marquis Mansion are the greatest wealth of the Weining Marquis Mansion.

After the original owner Fu Yuanjia passed away, these political resources were cheaper. In addition, the emperor's intentional promotion made Fu Yuanze so easily.

Now that Yuan Jia is still alive and is living well, Fu Yuanze, a concubine, naturally cannot get these political resources.

The separation of family affected Fu Yuanze's mood. He failed the provincial examination and waited for another three years before he passed the Juren.

After all, Fu Yuanze is the male protagonist and is still talented. After calming down, he became a famous candidate in the February of the following year and won the second-level Jinshi in the palace examination.

Now that Fu Yuanze has been a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy for three years, he seems to be exiled to become an official.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

After Yuan Jia and his group of people entered the capital, the butler of the Weining Marquis Mansion was waiting there early. When he saw Yuan Jia, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Criminal Master! Young Madam! Young Master!"

Yuan Jia looked at the butler with more wrinkles on his face, felt a little moved, nodded to him, and asked, "Can your father and mother be healthy?"

In ancient times, communication was inconvenient, so Yuan Jia received a letter from the Weining Marquis Mansion a few months ago.

The butler smiled so hard that his eyes were wrinkled: "Mr. Marquis is very strong and can play a set of fists every morning. Madam is also very good, but I miss you very much!"

Yuan Jia smiled and said, "If your father and mother are in good health, you will be fine!" He asked about the changes in the Marquis' Mansion over the past few years.

The biggest change is probably that Fu Qinglian got married three years ago. At that time, it happened that Fu Yuanze, the elder brother of her mother, was admitted to the second grade Jinshi. The person who married Fu Yuanze was the same year.

According to the family background of the Marquis' Mansion, even if Fu Qinglian is a concubine, she will be considered a marriage.

However, Fu Yuanze chose this candidate for her, and Weining Hou did not stop him. He prepared a dowry for her according to the rules and married the person out.

Although Mrs. Weining Hou had pissed Fu Qinglian off her anger because of Aunt Zhang, her trouble for Fu Qinglian was to ask her to copy scriptures and harm her concubine's daughter in marriage. Mrs. Weining Hou was still disdainful of doing this.

After Fu Qinglian got married, except for returning to the Marquis' Mansion when she returned to the three dynasties, she only interacted with Fu Yuanze at the other time, except for the necessary New Year Festivals. It seems that only Fu Yuanze is her family member, and Weining Marquis' Mansion is an ordinary relative.

Weining Hou didn't care about Fu Qinglian's behavior. Mrs. Weining Hou would sometimes say a few words, but Weining Hou felt that the water splashed by her married daughter did not expect her to marry her, and it didn't matter whether she would return to her parents' home or not.

Moreover, the daughter that Weining Hou cared more about is Fu Qinghe, the eldest daughter.

When Fu Qinghe was born, there was no child under Weining Hou. Fu Qinghe was his first child. He was a father for the first time and devoted all his fatherly love to this eldest daughter.

It can be said that if Fu Qinghe was a man, there would be nothing about Fu Yuanjia.

However, Fu Qinglian often interacts with Fu Yuanze, the brother, but her relationship with her sister-in-law Luo Qing is not very good.

Because Luo Qing was dissatisfied with Fu Yuanze's inferior to Fu Yuanjia everywhere, she felt that she was blind and regretted her marriage to him.

Although she didn't say this clearly, she often expressed her intentions of looking down on Fu Yuanze in her tone. How could Fu Qinglian, who regarded her brother very much, like a sister-in-law like Luo Qing?!

Before entering the officialdom, Fu Yuanze was as tough as Fu Qinglian after getting married, and was unwilling to come to the Weining Marquis Mansion often, but after entering the officialdom, Fu Yuanze came to the Weining Marquis Mansion more often. No matter whether he could get help from the Hou Mansion, he always seemed to have a big backer like the Marquis behind him.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yuan Jia took his wife and children back to the Marquis' Mansion. Marquis of Weining, who received the news in advance, was waiting with Mrs. Weining in the mansion.

After Yuan Jia and Fang Yan brought their son Fu Mingyao to the mansion, they found that in addition to the Marquis of Weining and Marquis of Weining, Fu Yuanze and Luo Qing were also there, with two boys, one big and one small, followed by them.

Yuan Jia stepped forward a few steps and bowed to Marquis of Weining and Marquis of Weining and Marquis of Weining and Marquis of Weining and said, "My son would like to pay tribute to his father and mother!"

Fang Yan followed him to pay tribute, and then Fu Mingyao, who was like a little adult, was very imitated by Yuan Jia's actions and said to the two elders: "Give me a blessing to my grandfather and grandmother! I wish my grandfather and grandmother good health and a long life!"

After seeing Fu Mingyao, the eldest grandson who had not seen for several years, Marquis of Weining and Marquis of Weining, he immediately left behind his son whom he had missed so much.

Weining Hou smiled at Fu Mingyao on his serious face: "Good boy, get up quickly!"

Mrs. Weining Hou even reached out and took Fu Mingyao into her arms, and said with a smile: "Grandma's good grandson, come and see for her grandmother. She has grown so old!"

Fu Mingyao did not have a deep impression of Mrs. Weining, but when he was held in his arms and asked about his well-being, he could also feel his grandmother's deep love for him. His heart suddenly felt strange and he became closer.

Yuan Jia and Fang Yan sat down. Yuan Jia looked at Fu Yuanze sitting beside him, and nodded with a smile, "The second brother is here too."

A faint smile appeared on Fu Yuanze's face: "Brother."

No matter what grudges Yuanjia and Fu Yuanze had ever had, at least they were still maintaining face. Fang Yan and Luo Qing had nothing to say over there, and Luo Qing even had a cold face when facing Fang Yan, without even a good face.

The two boys following Fu Yuanze and Luo Qing are Fu Yuanze's two sons. The older boy is Fu Mingkang, the legitimate son of Luo Qing, and the younger boy is a concubine's son.

Yuan Jia glanced at Fu Yuanze's two sons and found that no matter whether the legitimate son or the illegitimate son, he was a little cowardly, didn't like to talk, and kept his head down, and he was not as lively and naughty as a boy of this age should have.

However, no matter how this child is raised, it is all about Fu Yuanze and Luo Qing. Yuanjia, a uncle who is not close to him, can't even care about them.

As the only son of Yuan Jia and Fang Yan, Fu Mingyao has always been favored but not spoiled. He is smart and cheerful. In just a moment, he coaxed Mrs. Weining to laugh and hugged him and shouted to his heart.

Fu Mingkang lowered his head, but secretly glanced out of the corner of his eyes at the little brother who was said to be his cousin in his grandmother's arms, and he was very envious.

This was not the first time he came to his grandfather's house with a big and beautiful grandfather, but except for his grandfather's expressions that he would say to him seriously, his grandmother didn't want to see him. Although his grandmother didn't say it explicitly, he could feel that his grandmother didn't like him.

But now his cousin is so favored by his grandmother, he even envies his cousin for being able to talk and laugh without restraint in front of his grandfather and grandmother.

＜＜＜＜＜

Yuanjia's family of three were happy with Marquis of Weining and Marquis of Weining. Fu Yuanze only felt that his family seemed to be redundant and could not sit still. After a while, he got up and said goodbye with his wife and children.

When he returned home, Fu Yuanze was in a bad mood. Thinking of the intelligent performance of his brother's son Fu Mingyao, he saw his two sons and scolded him impatiently: "What are you still standing there? Why don't you go to the study room to study?"

Luo Qing protected his son Fu Mingkang and said dissatisfiedly: "Fu Yuanze, why are you angry in your heart and sending me to my son? If you have the ability, send me to Fu Yuanjia!"

Luo Qing was extremely dissatisfied with Fu Yuanze. The relationship between the couple had already reached a freezing point, and they had a quarrel every three days, one small, five days, one big quarrel every big.

After moving out of the Marquis' Mansion, one of Fu Yuanze's concubines came to the hospital and gave birth to a concubine's son. It was this concubine's son who completely disappointed Luo Qing with Fu Yuanze.

It was probably because of his illegitimate son's treatment in the Marquis's mansion that Fu Yuanze was very pity for his illegitimate son, and he always felt that Luo Qing would treat this illegitimate son badly, and his legitimate son Fu Mingkang would bully his illegitimate brother. So Fu Yuanze was prone to favoring his two sons.

Fu Yuanze is partial to the concubine's son, which has touched Luo Qing's heart. Luo Qing can endure it after Fu Yuanze loses the inherited title. After all, the husband he chose will have to live his whole life even if he cries. But Luo Qing will never tolerate Fu Yuanze treating her son badly. Fu Mingkang is her lifeblood!

Luo Qing’s idea was that her brother Kang was the legitimate son, so why was a concubine’s son comparable to her brother Kang?

Fu Yuanze himself was born as a concubine and empathized with his concubine's son, so he naturally did not want his son to feel the different treatment he had with his legitimate brother as he did when he was young.

So Fu Yuanze wanted the concubine's son to treat the same as the legitimate son. Even when the two sons had conflicts, he always subconsciously felt that the concubine's son was weak and bullied by the legitimate son.

Over time, it evolved into Fu Yuanze's partiality in his concubine's son. Luo Qing only loved the son she gave birth to and hated him extremely.

The two children who grew up in this environment are like quails, with cowardly and introverted personality, timid and timid.

Fu Yuanze's current official position is not as good as Luo Qing's father, so Luo Qing is not afraid of him. She quarreled with Fu Yuanze a lot on weekdays.

The quarrel started again today. The two boys shrank their heads and hid aside to watch their father and mother quarrel, feeling frightened and at a loss.

It was not until Fu Qinglian came to visit Fu Yuanze that the quarrel came to an end.

＜＜＜＜＜

After Yuan Jia returned to the Hou’s Mansion, he settled down and went to the Ministry of Revenue to take office.

The Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not so easy to obtain. If Yuan Jia had not had any outstanding achievements in Xuzhou and the Marquis of Weining had consumed a lot of favors, otherwise Yuan Jia would have been promoted from the governor to the Left Minister in one fell swoop.

Yuanjia has been very busy these days after joining the company, but after getting started with all the work, he became much more relaxed.

Yuan Jia took a break and asked Li Changjin to come out to meet him several times to reminisce about the past.

During this period, Li Changjin brought a "distant cousin" to have a drink with them twice. Yuan Jia could tell at a glance that this was either a distant cousin or a cousin. He just thought that he did not know the true identity of this "distant cousin".

The eighth prince who has grown up is indeed very outstanding. At least in Yuan Jia's opinion, the eighth prince has relatively balanced abilities in all aspects and does not have obvious shortcomings like other princes.

No wonder the young eighth prince ended up laughing in the original plot.

However, Yuan Jia’s most optimistic about the Eighth Prince is that the Eighth Prince and the Great Princess are incompatible.

The Eighth Prince and Empress Li have a close relationship with each other, so naturally they have a good relationship with their uncle and family. Li Changjin, the cousin, has much heavier weight in the Eighth Prince's heart than the eldest princess, the elder sister.

In the eyes of the Eighth Prince, Li Changjin and him are a community of interests that are prosperous and both prosperous and both lose. The eldest princess is a sheep on Li Changjin's head, which is humiliating his eighth prince, so he naturally has no good feelings for the eldest princess.
