Hangzhou Yushi Lane, Huangfu, a group of maids are busy packing their luggage.

Rewind time to the day when the gunboats bombarded Xu's house.

After the Xu family's house in Shanghai was smashed by naval guns, the original arrogant land deed alliance was immediately dissolved.

These big landlords are now sadly discovering that unless the reactionary nature of the Cao thieves is exposed in the temple and the imperial court is urged to suppress the bandits, the efforts of local righteous people and gentlemen alone will no longer be able to control this big worm that has infiltrated the system.

However, how difficult is it to stink your opponent from the beginning of the temple? As far as the Ming Dynasty is now leaking from all directions, the imperial court will not use this kind of warlord who holds military power and will rebel if he is in a hurry.

Therefore, the deed alliance disbanded the gentry class in a desolate and desolate manner, and when it came to dealing with their own people, the Donglin Party and the like were really full of means, doing everything, and it seemed that the incarnation of justice was descended from heaven to earth.

However, once they jumped out of that rotten circle and encountered foreign enemies, these people immediately lost their way. Why? Because the foreign enemy does not discuss the way of a gentleman with you, the foreign enemy only evaluates the sword technique with you.

By this time, it was only a matter of time before the superstructure of the country, ruled by philosophers, collapsed.

Cao Thief has taken this road this time: without saying a word, he is working hard with you. This kind of countermeasures on the fringes of the system made the gentry, who were accustomed to oppressive people, extremely uncomfortable, and they were at a loss at every turn.

...............

After the dissolution of the alliance, according to the final negotiation results, each family made up a box of land deeds as it was, and sent someone to sell it to Master Xiong Dao at a low price.

At this point, the bloody case caused by a box of land deeds has finally come to an end.

The old men who have paid a heavy price are in a state of interest at the moment, and they can't raise their interest in continuing to fight with Cao Thief in a short period of time.

In this way, the radical Master Huang Shaozhou, who has been advocating that he will not stand on the other side with Cao Thief and fight to the death, will sit down. Now that the army is defeated, no one wants to fight against oppression with him anymore.

So after visiting the princes of the alliance for the last time, getting some Burmese rumors, and leaving a bunch of cruel words of "he is coming back day by day", Mr. Huang, who had become an opinion leader in this incident, had to leave Shanghai County in a panic and returned to his home in Hangzhou.

Within two days of arriving home, Mr. Huang decided to go to Fujian to visit relatives and friends because he was "in a bad mood", and by the way, he took a break.

The Huang Mansion was busy again. Because this time, Master Huang traveled with the eldest lady.

"Uncle has a long way to go, you must be careful of foot disease, you can't see the wind chill."

In the warm pavilion where the charcoal stove was burning in the Huang Mansion, a young man in a white-faced brocade robe with a delicate posture was telling something to Master Huang, who was half leaning on the chaise longue.

"Well, be careful." Stretching his legs and feet, the rather rich old man Huang nodded yes.

At this moment, another young man who looked like a son on the side also interjected in time, "The wet and cold in Fujian is especially worse than in Zhejiang, I don't think that Huang Shou and Huang Xi are not like a person who can take care of things, why don't you accompany your uncle to go through it, and it is convenient to take care of it on the road." ”

"Okay, okay, I got your junior's heart. I'm just going to relax, I don't want to be public, it's enough to have Huang Shou and Huang Xi here. Master Huang spoke in time and stopped the filial piety performance of the two nephews: "Well, it's not too early, you all retreat." ”

After saying a few words gently, and after sending these relatives away, Master Huang shook his head and looked helpless: "Help me go back to the room."

Huang Shou and Huang Xi, two close family members behind him, hurriedly came over to pick up the old man and helped him back to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Huang Xie, the eldest lady of the Huang family, was directing the maid to pack all kinds of things. Seeing this scene, Master Huang, who entered the door, shook his head helplessly again: "Bring less, are there any good objects over there?" ”

...........................

The story of this Huangfu is a long story.

Huang Xie's wife is the wife of the main house who married from the Xie family of the Huzhou family, and she is a good match with the Huang family. The eldest lady is Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old today, and she looks not old, but according to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, a woman of this age can already call herself an "old woman".

Since Huang Xie married into the Huang Mansion 20 years ago, he has adhered to women's morals, managed the inner house, and has a very close relationship with Master Huang, which can be regarded as Qin Se and Ming.

It's just that there is such a thing as feelings, in the big family of the seventeenth century, it must have to give way to a woman who can't be born and raised by etiquette, what's the use of having good feelings?

In this era, if the husband and wife are unable to have children, the pot will definitely be deducted from the woman first.

Huang Xie was born in a big family, and he is still very clear about etiquette. So after discovering that he "couldn't raise", he had to follow the rules, gritted his teeth and took the initiative to marry the master with two bedrooms, three bedrooms, four bedrooms and five bedrooms......

As a result, after many years passed, when people found that the five wives and concubines still could not give birth to a son and a half daughter for Master Huang, a consensus was silently reached: it was the master's problem.

However, at this time, Master Huang is already in his forties, what is the use of the real hammer? The Huang family still has no queen.

This is also the reason why the Huang family's family nieces and nephews have become increasingly arrogant in recent years: the lord is going to inherit the family business among them after all, and it is nothing more than who to choose.

And the various house fights caused by the Huang family are not enough for outsiders. In short, from the ladies to the rooms, to the sweeping and miscellaneous servants, they are more or less involved in the dispute of "seizing the heir", and the inner house is restless.

Just when Huang Shaozhou and his wife were undecided, looking at these unsuccessful children, and not knowing which one to follow, suddenly one day, Fang Tangjing, who went to the south on a business trip, came back!

After returning home, this Tang Jing not only brought a large number of new playthings, but also brought back a lot of exotic experiences.

Just when the whole mansion was revolving around those new goods, Fang Tangjing pulled the old man into the small study with an excited face, muttering all day long, not knowing what they were talking about.

After that, Master Huang seemed to be a different person, and launched a series of comical operations.

Not only did he vigorously adjust his business layout and shrink the silver roots, but after that, he also went to Shanghai County to fight with people for a Zhuangzi that no one knew when he bought it, and it is said that he also started a lawsuit, and finally returned with a feather, and Zhuangzi did not survive.

It is said that if you suffer a loss outside, then you will have to recuperate for at least a while after you come back, right? However, Master Huang is not. Two days after he returned to Hangzhou, he was arguing that he was in a bad mood and wanted to visit friends in Fujian......

So the Huang Mansion was busy again.

....................

After Master Huang entered the bedroom, he saw that his wife was packing his luggage, and said helplessly: "Bring less, what good things are there over there?" ”

Huang Xie saw the old man enter the house, and hurriedly came over to help his husband sit down: "The poor family is rich, who knows if there is a desirable family in that place, it is always reassuring to bring more." ”

When Master Huang heard this, he said with contempt: "Hmph, aren't the items brought back by Fang Son-in-law still robbed by you?" ”

The eldest lady smiled when she heard this: "Then listen to the lord and bring less luggage." ”

Master Huang nodded, and his tone became tough: "You have to be light and simple, and don't be loud along the way...... There are so many joints in the middle that it's hard to show off, you know. ”

Seeing his wife nodding, Master Huang thought for a while, and asked in a consultative tone: "Otherwise, let's choose one of them to go on the road together, in case...... It's better than being caught off guard. ”

"No!"

Huang Xie, who was originally gentle and virtuous, raised his willow eyebrows at this moment, his apricot eyes were round, and he looked at his master uncompromisingly: "The concubine's body is less than forty this year, and her body bones have always been tough, so she must be able to give birth and raise!" ”

Speaking of this, there were already tears in Huang Xie's eyes: "Master, the concubine married into the Huang family, has she ever been half immoral?" But I don't know how many vicious words have been said behind my back over the years, and these concubines have endured it. But now that he has hope, why didn't the eldest son come out of a concubine? ”

Master Huang had a splitting headache at the moment: This issue had been discussed privately by the two of them, but Huang Xie, who was usually rational and rational, did not give an inch in this matter, leaving Master Huang helpless.

Seeing that his wife was about to make the ultimate move of crying and making trouble, after all, Master Huang, who was ashamed in his heart, finally made the last concession and stopped dwelling on this matter: "That's it, it's you and I who go first." ”

When Huang Xie heard this, he immediately changed his color: "The concubine body just can't swallow this breath." Please rest assured, if the divine doctor over there really denies the concubine, it will not be too late to send a message back at that time. ”

"Well, that's all it takes."

After the preparations were completed, Mr. and Mrs. Huang and his staff Fang Tangjing, together with four male and female servants from the family, and a group of seven people boarded a Wupeng boat parked at the head of the river port outside the door.

After this Wupeng left the Hangzhou Water Gate, it went all the way around and around it, and finally stopped at Shanghai Port where Master Huang returned not long ago in the middle of the night.

After arriving at the port of Shanghai, the group was quietly sent to a new lock boat parked in the port.

And next to this ship was the huge battleship: the Zhenman.

After a day of silent waiting in the upper cabin of the cargo ship, a large number of ships gathered in Shanghai Port finally began.

The ships were divided into two units. The northward fleet took with it most of the transports and a few fast warships. The Zhenman, together with two frigates, headed south and returned to the Taijiang Military Port.

And with the Zhenman, there were two new lock boats carrying immigrants, and Master Huang and his party were on one of the ships.

After the fleet headed south from the port of Shanghai, it didn't take long for the two new lock ships to be thrown away by the Zhenman.

The transport ship was certainly not as fast as the battleship, and after the Zhenman formation started the gas power, black smoke rose up, and the speed gradually increased, and it gradually disappeared into the sea with a swagger.

The two new lock ships honestly followed the route that they had run many times and started their journey to Tainan.

Fortunately, it is winter, and Master Huang and his party have a tailwind, so when they came to Taijiang, it only took a total of five days on the road At this time, the northbound fleet led by Comrade Zhang Dongdong had not yet arrived in Tianjin.
