Chapter 14: The High and the Low
With the arrangement of Lord Mao Yuanyi, Huang Sheng took his family to live in a large courtyard near the official office, and the rescued Han people were also resettled. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info originally Ning Yuan was an immigrant who came here to guard here, and these people became the tun households here.
Huang Sheng left Lu Chengzu, who was still covered in bruises, to be a family member, this kid was a blessing in disguise, and he was grateful, but he didn't say anything to thank him, which was right Huang Sheng's temper, Huang Sheng didn't like the slogan the most like the people who shouted loudly.
Huang Sheng got a free building similar to a two-entry courtyard house as a temporary residence, and he finally had a place to stand in the Ming Dynasty.
There are all kinds of daily necessities here, and it turned out that a civil official lived here with more than a dozen families and slaves, and later this adult had a way and was transferred out of this place of right and wrong.
Huang Sheng was admiring his welfare house when he was disturbed by a few cries. It turned out that the rescued Han people had all followed the family of Master Mao Yuanyi, and two women were unwilling to go with them, kneeling in Huang Sheng's front yard and weeping.
These two young women have been the object of ridicule of those Han people in the past few days, especially the other two women's words are even more hurtful, and they even have the meaning of showing off, which is nothing more than how they are chaste and fierce when Jiannu wants to sleep with them, how desperately they resist, and Jiannu did not succeed.
Huang Sheng's judgment is that God knows if they succeed in resisting, this kind of thing will be seen by others, and if it is not seen, there will be nothing. These little people can say whatever they like, and Huang Sheng is impatient to meddle in things.
He knew that the other two women were seen by several Han people when they were insulted by Jiannu, and they couldn't hold their heads up from then on, and wanted to commit suicide after being coldly scolded.
Huang Sheng scolded those gossiping Han people, telling them not to hurt each other in the future, and they should find an opportunity to kill Jiannu to ask for an explanation. Huang Sheng didn't mean to discriminate against the two women who were ruined by Jiannu, and took care of and respected them very much.
This is not pretending, but I think in my heart that it should be a shame for all men for women to be insulted by the enemy.
It's strange that a man can't protect his own women, make them victims, and he doesn't feel ashamed, but embarrassed to humiliate them.
As soon as Huang Sheng appeared, the two women came to Huang Sheng on their knees, and a woman named Qiaozhen, who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, cried: "My lord, the slave and maid ask the adult to take it in, if the adult is unwilling to take in the slave and maid, there is only one way to die." β
Another woman a few years younger was named Laifeng, and she said: "Slaves and maids are good at laundry, cooking, and sewing, and adults are all around men, and there is no servant girl who serves. β
It turned out that these two women were going to leave this adult who had been very kind to them, and they would be here with those Han people who had been captured by Jiannu in the future, and they were desperate for their future lives, and it was conceivable that the spitting stars alone would be able to drown them in the future.
Huang Dongshan couldn't see others crying, and these two women were ingenious, and they were busy sewing and mending for them these days. He pleaded for the two of them: "My lord, you can keep them, they are also pitiful, and there is indeed a shortage of a few women to serve in this family." β
Cheng Quangong, a rude military man, was also moved by compassion, and he said: "My lord, you can leave the two of them, don't worry about the population too much to feed, as long as we save a mouthful, we won't be hungry." "It's a pity that this kid can't speak too much, and as soon as he speaks, he is despised by others.
Everyone is warm-hearted, and they are all expressing sympathy for the two women in every word, but the most substantive issues have not been touched.
Huang Sheng said: "Whether to keep them depends on you and not me, if you can really be loving and compassionate, they will stay in the Huang family forever." β
Everyone said that they must be loving and really sympathetic to them.
Huang Sheng said: "The two of them were insulted by Jiannu, whose crime is it?" You, me, and all the Ming men. It's a shame that we can't protect these weak women. β
At this time, everyone was silent, especially a few Liaodong soldiers, they all felt ashamed. Huang Sheng said again: "They have already been hurt, and if they live in the Huang family in the future, maybe you will uncover their scars, how can they get a new life?" β
At this time, everyone understood Huang Sheng's meaning, and the two women understood Huang Sheng's intentions even more, they gritted their teeth desperately and forcibly held back the tears that came out of their eyes. At present, the most intimate people around Huang Sheng are the two sons Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao.
The two of them took the lead and said loudly: "My lord, we swear never to mention their old affairs, and in the future, everyone will be the Huang family and relatives." β
Of course, the others responded positively, and Huang Sheng helped up the two women who were trembling with excitement. said to everyone: "What are you still doing in a daze, buying wine and meat, cooking and cooking, have a good drink tonight to celebrate, and someone will help cook and mend clothes in the future." β
It's a pity that Huang Sheng can't enjoy the lively welcome banquet at home, and he has to go to the banquet at the invitation of Lord Mao Yuanyi in the evening.
The civil officials are high, and Lord Mao Yuanyi has not invited a single military attachΓ©, except for a few civilian colleagues who are Huang Sheng. Everyone was more than six levels higher than him, and Huang Sheng was an ant no matter his age or official position.
Fortunately, Huang Sheng often received leaders in his previous life, and he was handy for ushering in and sending them there, and he quickly got along with everyone.
Among these people, Huang Sheng found a famous scientist in the late Ming Dynasty, Sun Yuanhua, who was now the head of the Liupin Military Department, and was responsible for installing artillery in Ningyuan.
This is a tragic cow man, a rare artillery expert. Huang Sheng deliberately talked to him, although this Songjiang Mansion had a strong accent, but Huang Sheng didn't have any obstacles at all. Huang Shengtian has stayed in many places in the north and south of the sea, and he was once stationed by the unit for two whole years.
Huang Sheng did what he liked, and made witty remarks about this unsociable scientist, of course, talking about his experience of gunpowder, artillery, and shooting accuracy. Except for Mao Yuanyi, others disagreed, thinking that it was putting the cart before the horse and losing the face of the literati doctor.
Huang Sheng has a great understanding that the level of hot weapons in the Ming Dynasty at this time does not seem to lag behind Europe! The chief of the Ming Military Department's understanding of weapons is definitely a prophet of this era, and he even concluded that cold weapons will be replaced by muskets and artillery in the future.
Huang Sheng, Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi talked more and more speculatively, and they began to look at Huang Sheng differently. In fact, they are different in the Ming Dynasty, too many adults look down on them, thinking that they are strange and obscene skills, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, so they are high and low.
They are Shangguan, of course, there will be many people under them who will come to pat themselves, but in the field of artillery with a relatively high level of professionalism, if they say some flattering sycophants, these two scientists will be able to hear it immediately.
In fact, patting sycophants is a profound science, and you are a master if you shoot without leaving traces. Huang Sheng is also a sycophant, but he is a high-IQ academic sycophant.
Take advantage of his knowledge and insight that is actually much higher than these two Ming scientists. I gave them a technical maze or two, and humbly told them that I was completely taking it for granted.
The two of them are technical streams, as long as they think it makes sense, but whether it is taken for granted or not, they will personally go to verify it, they listened to Huang Sheng's remarks, and there was a feeling of waking up the dreamer with a word, and Huang Sheng benefited a lot from the exchange, and immediately regarded him as a year-old friend.
Huang Sheng knew that Sun Yuanhua was making many artillery fasteners and accessories on the spot here in Ningyuan City, and there was an inverted flame furnace for steelmaking, so Huang Sheng asked Sun Yuanhua to allow him to personally refine hundreds of catties of good steel to make the barrel of the firearm.
The two scientists immediately agreed, they were experts, they knew that the quality of the gun barrel was too important, and praised Huang Sheng for his insight, and he was able to find the disadvantages of the gun at once, and told Huang Sheng with a painful expression that the quality of the gun gun in the Ming Dynasty is not as good as a year a year, and the soldiers dare not use it.
The two of them have a great sense of compassion and compassion for others, lamenting their misfortune and anger.
In the evening, Huang Sheng left the restaurant with a sense of wine, and found Huang Mingli, Huang Mingdao, and Huang Dongshan waiting for him at the door. When they saw their master, they immediately greeted them and stretched out their hands to help, the strange things of the Ming Dynasty were fashionable to be supported by others.
Huang Sheng couldn't stand these bad habits, and said to them: "Although I am a literati, I am also a good man who dares to be born and die. β
Huang Mingli said with a smile: "My lord, it's not Han Guang's, he said that the master has to be supported by someone to be decent, we don't understand, there are many people watching here, we can't let the master lose face no matter what." β
Huang Sheng was a little dizzy, shook off their hands, and said to them: "In the future, our Huang family will not come to this set, the more fierce the Huang family, the better." Why are you all out? Has everyone settled in? β
Huang Mingli said: "Back to the adult's words, everyone has settled down, they all have to come here to wait for the adult, but I don't let it, and many people come at once and make a lot of noise." We just watched a few adults have been helped to walk, so we followed along, and the adults didn't like it, so we were lazy in the future. β
Huang Sheng talked and laughed with them, and returned to the first nominal home in the Ming Dynasty, of course, this home is not his own permanent property rights, and if he does not serve in Liaodong, he will return it to the government.
The family members and the two maidservants who had just been taken in were standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for them, it seems that the human rights situation in the Ming Dynasty is worrying! The consciousness of respect and humility has penetrated into the bones of every Ming and small people.
Huang Sheng came to the bedroom in the inner courtyard where the housekeeper and the maidservant girl cleaned up for himself, and with the two women's tidying up, it really looked more comfortable.
As soon as they entered the door, the two maids began to get busy, it was not enough for them to wash Huang Sheng's face and make the bed, the two of them were still squatting to wash Huang Sheng's feet, as a modern person's small feudal mood, Huang Sheng was still a little uncomfortable.
Huang Sheng hurriedly politely asked them not to look like this, and the adults did their own things. Who knew that the two women turned white with fright, and Qiaozhen asked sadly: "Master, where did the slave make the master feel uncomfortable, the slave and the maid will change in the future, and the master must not want us to serve." β
Huang Sheng was a little dizzy, his body was only seventeen years old, at most he was a young master, but now he was a master. It seems that in the future, it will be difficult for the decadent feudal bureaucracy to escape its own life, and it can only choose to degenerate and go with the flow.
Huang Sheng is simply not hypocritical, it is better to relax in the foot soaking room. He said to them: "You take two pillows for the master and me to lean on, and then help the master massage the foot plate and knead it." β
The two women were immediately happy, and they hurriedly said: "It turns out that the master likes to press the soles of his feet, and the slaves and maids will do it, and they have done it for their father and mother before." β
Huang Sheng watched the joyful expressions on the faces of the two women when he heard that he had let them serve without pretense, and only then did he understand the huge difference between people in this era, they were already their own slaves, and they were proud to be able to make their masters happy.
