As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

For some reason, Huamanlou suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Maybe it's the pressure brought by Wen Liang, or maybe it's Qi Wanrong's recent eccentricities and her acting as a monster just now—Brother Hua has called out, is this okay?

Thanks to Wan Qi Yanran who only cared about her affairs, otherwise, if she misunderstood something, wouldn't it be even more difficult to tease her?

But now life and death can't be moved, what is wrong with this?

……

When Hua Manlou was thinking about flirting with Miss Baimao, the capital.

After becoming the head of Nanzhen Fusi, Uncle Huai'an has been very popular in the capital recently. Not only are the people giving gifts like crucian carp across the river, but the people who invite him to the banquet can even wait until next month.

Among them, not only the subordinates, the colleagues of the Fusi of Nanbei Township, but also some nobles who are thinking carefully, they always ask Uncle Huai'an seemingly inadvertently after drinking for three rounds. I plan to say relatives to my son.

Now the Hua family has a double noble family, and anyone can see that Huamanlou has a bright future—the title was taken by others, and even a civil official position was taken out of the ordinary. If you say that this kind of guy has a bleak future, wouldn’t you be blind? Eye?

Uncle Huai'an is very clear about the thoughts of these nobles, and he also feels very relieved: last year when they said goodbye to their son, this group of people pushed back and forth, but now they are all here?

Hehe, I'm sorry, but my family can't afford it.

So his unified reply is: There is already a clue, maybe there will be news in a few days.

Some honorable people chased after him, so after repeated questioning, Uncle Huai'an was unambiguous, and directly said that he was Huamanlou's savior, so Huamanlou was in charge of this matter, and he didn't bother to take care of it.

After the words were released, a large number of people were immediately persuaded to leave - you can't let your daughter go to be a child of Huamanlou, right?Everyone is honorable, and they will be embarrassing!

Of course, there are also the nobles who have long been marginalized and want to let the concubine be a concubine or something. This is not a big deal for the time being, but after hearing the news, a certain prince reacted the most.

The news had already come from Xishan, that my daughter had managed to open her eyes, but at this moment, someone would get in her way, who could bear it?

Others don't know, but Ying Guogong knows the origin of Huamanlou's savior, so he didn't pay attention to it at first, but when Uncle Huai'an suddenly expressed his opinion, he became anxious: the young man's brain became hot He can do anything, if Lao Hua really doesn't care, maybe Hua Manlou's Shu Zi will marry him?

No, I have to talk to Laohua!

286. Too much hatred

In fact, the purpose of Uncle Huai'an's release of the news of Huamanlou's marriage is very simple: one is to dispel the thoughts of those nobles who have rejected him, and make them regret it; the other is to avenge him .

So after receiving the invitation from Mr. Ying to the banquet, Uncle Huai'an looked up to the sky and laughed wildly three times: "Old man, when I was not at home and cheated on my stupid son, did you ever think about today?"

After laughing for a long time, Uncle Huai'an packed up his things and went to the banquet.

Since what we are talking about is a family matter, Ying Guogong set up a family banquet, but the standard is not low at all.

The wine that has been treasured for many years, the tea given by the palace, and all kinds of game, anyway, common and uncommon things are all on the table, which can be described as extremely luxurious.

Uncle Huai'an, who was at the table, knew what Ying Guogong was thinking, so he was not in a hurry at all. He just asked him to chat about what he had seen and heard in the grassland, and even talked about the steps of roasting a whole lamb.

On the surface, Ying Guogong listened with gusto, but he kept slandering in his heart: When did Laohua become such a bad-mouthed woman?

After finally waiting for Uncle Huai'an to catch his breath and drink tea, Duke Ying couldn't pretend anymore, and said, "My dear brother, I heard recently that your family is going to have a happy event?"

Uncle Huai'an pretended not to know: "What happy event? Why don't I know?"

The corner of Ying Guogong's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath to subdue his impatience before he said, "Tsk, it has been spread all over the capital, saying that your Huamanlou is going to marry that white lotus saint...you don't know?"

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Uncle Huai'an suddenly realized, and then he sighed: "How can this be a happy event? This is a misfortune for the family!"

Ying Guogong was overjoyed when he heard the words: Sure enough, Laohua still has a clear mind!

But when he was about to continue to add fuel and jealousy to talk about the disadvantages of marrying Wancheng Yanran, Uncle Huai'an said: "My stupid son, he is too sharp! He is still young, he doesn't know the benefits, he doesn't understand the dangers!"

Ying Guogong was even more delighted: "Isn't it!"

Uncle Huai'an sighed, and continued: "Look, I have only been on the grassland for a few days, but he is lucky. The Yushi has impeached him [-] times if not a hundred times! Why did my Hua family come out like this? Uneasy?"

Ying Guogong suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only respond casually: "Young people, some edges and corners are also necessary. You should educate your brother well, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Huai An suddenly slapped the table: "Who said it wasn't? You bastard, I don't even know about the clumsiness inherited from the Hua family. Character, how can you bring disaster to your family?"

Sighing, Uncle Huai'an continued to chatter: "You and I are family friends, so we know what happened to our ancestors after they joined Taizu in the army, and we also know how our Hua family got to where we are today. But look at me. This silly son, although he did not know where he learned some strange skills, but he has forgotten the rules passed down from his ancestors!"

Hearing him talking about this, Ying Guogong lost his mind a bit: "Could it be that my virtuous brother is drunk? This matter has nothing to do with my virtuous nephew's marriage... right?"

Uncle Huai'an raised his wine glass and touched Ying Guogong, and continued: "Why is it all right? I ordered this marriage for him!"

"Pfft! Cough cough cough cough..." Duke Ying almost choked himself to death without finishing his drink, "My dear brother... you ordered it for him? Why is this?"

Uncle Huai'an gritted his teeth and said, "My Hua family has always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. If you want to repay your life-saving grace, you don't need to say more? What's more, after marrying that woman, you will give His Majesty an excuse. If you have this excuse, no matter what he does Even if you can't turn the palm of His Majesty's hand, if you do something out of the ordinary in the future, or get framed by someone, at least you can save your life, right?"

Dang!

The wine glass in Duke Ying's hand fell to the ground.

What Uncle Huai'an said was actually not wrong at all, and it made sense to some extent.

What is the emperor's most taboo?

It's very simple, he is not afraid of your ability, he is not afraid of your ability, but he is afraid that you can threaten his rule!

Although it seems that Huamanlou does not threaten the emperor's capital at all, but in reality?The siege cannon, new artillery, hot air balloons, and blunderbuss are all in the hands of Huamanlou, and it is difficult for the capital to even have the power to fight against them—not to mention, you can't count on hot air balloons to fly into the sky. Let the archers shoot it down?

But the problem is that even if the group of civil servants who impeached Hua Manlou spread rumors, they would not say that Hua Manlou might rebel. After all...

Take ten thousand steps back, even if Hua Manlou knocks down the capital, who will support him?

If he is a powerful minister, this matter is another matter, but he is a small Qianhu, even if he has some powerful weapons, who can obey him as the emperor?

But these are not important, the important thing is that because of this, they have to hand over the handle to the royal family...

Ying Guogong is going crazy: Is there something wrong with your Hua family?As for being so careful?

He didn't doubt Uncle Huai'an's motives. After all, the Hua family's mastery has gone too far, even threatening the imperial censor to impeach him, let alone such a trivial matter?

But the question is, if things develop like this, what will my daughter do?

"Brother, you...you are worrying too much! How can he doubt your Hua family because of his kindness?" Ying Guogong didn't know what to say, and said indiscriminately: "Besides, that woman is the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus , this... What if His Majesty becomes suspicious after marrying her?"

Uncle Huai'an glanced at him, and sighed, "It's still the same sentence, as long as you can save your life. My Hua family has passed it down for several generations, so I can't afford it..."

Ying Guogong thinks about it, and he has given the handle to the emperor. As long as the emperor is not suspicious, it is safe to do anything, and the worst thing is to abandon it. Why bother to kill people and make people think that he is mean and ungrateful?

"But...but His Majesty is kind..."

Ying Guogong still wanted to dispel Uncle Huai'an's thoughts from a side angle, but Uncle Huai'an waved his hand and continued: "Even if you don't marry that woman, who will marry my son? Last year I sent someone to marry her." They talked about their relationship everywhere, but at that time... Alas! My Hua family can't be completely in my son's generation, can it? The family is unfortunate!"

Ying Guogong wants to scold someone: Last year was last year, this year is this year, and now there are many people who want to marry your son, how could it be as miserable as you said?

But he can't say that, after all...

What if Uncle Huai'an really didn't realize the current situation?If you were tempted by what you said and went to someone else's house to propose marriage, wouldn't your daughter have no chance?

The most subtle thing is that Uncle Huai'an really mentioned a marriage with Duke Ying in secret last year. After all, Huamanlou and Qi Wanrong both lowered the bottom line of noble morality, so Uncle Huai'an thinks that, anyway, a Can't get married, one can't get married, so they simply put them together to make do with it, but Ying Guogong pretended to be deaf and dumb to get over it - no matter how you say it, Qi Wanrong is the only little white flower in Ying Guogong's mansion, why old Qi? Are you willing to let her marry a bad gambler?

But who would have thought that Huamanlou had bottomed out!

"Forget it, let's not talk about this!" Seeing Ying Guogong's face was extremely gray, Uncle Huai'an felt relieved: "It's done, if you don't get drunk today, you won't go home!"

"Ha... haha... yes, if you don't get drunk, you won't return..." Ying Guogong smiled very reluctantly, but he could only laugh dryly: "Come on, do it!"

It is said that he will not return if he is not drunk, but in fact, Mr. Ying was deeply drunk, and Uncle Huai'an left the mansion of Mr. Ying refreshed and refreshed—it's too much to relieve hatred!

Laohua did this today in order to avenge last year's revenge, and by the way, to add some trouble to Ying Guogong and increase the sense of urgency.

Because of this little trick, Ying Guogong will of course not take long to realize it, but even if he does, there is nothing he can do. Who makes it difficult for his daughter to marry?But she is full of flowers and doesn't have to worry about marrying, so Duke Ying can't spend all his money?

How could it be possible to put blame on others and to put on a face?

Uncle Huai'an also grew up watching Qi Wanrong grow up. In his eyes, these monsters made by Qi Wanrong may make people speechless, but in the end they are not really evil. From time to time, the imperial censor impeaches his daughter-in-law for causing trouble and being arrogant and domineering. Although it is possible to make her face humiliated, the chance of arousing the emperor's suspicion will become infinitely small, so why not do it?

So, if Uncle Huai'an thought last year that the two of them would make do with each other, now it has become a perfect match with one responsible for digging the pit and the other responsible for burying it—isn't that the core of the Hua family's ancestral low-key technique?

It has to be said that Laohua's way of survival is worth learning from many people who will go away after gaining some power...

After tormenting Ying Guogong, Uncle Huai'an thought of another thing: what trick should the Wen family play?I don't know what old Wen means now, this old guy is not as easy to fool as old Qi.

or……

Go directly to the door to propose marriage?

Thinking about these things, Huai Anbo fell asleep in the carriage immediately after the spirit of wine surged up.

……

When Ying Guogong was in a low mood after being bullied, Mr. Wen Ge was actually not in a good mood.

After all, Wen Yuchen was useful by Wen Liang's side, at least he could see the change in his little sister's attitude, and...

Identity changes.

That's right, after Wen Yuchen finished teaching in the school that day, the first time he returned to the room, he found that Wen Liang had resumed his women's clothing, and then he panicked: He knew that if the little girl didn't think about Huamanlou, she would generally be wrong. will be disclosed.

Wen Yuchen persuaded her for a long time, but what a girl Wen Liang is, how could she listen to her third brother's foolishness?The helpless Wen Yuchen could only find someone to send the news home, and it was up to his father to decide.

In fact, since Wen Liang said that he was going to Xishan, Lao Wen knew that his daughter would not be able to keep him, but what did Lao Wen think?Now he regrets adding the wrong skill points to his daughter even more than Ying Guogong!

In the eyes of Lao Wen, Hua Manlou is completely worthy of his daughter - at the age of 17, he won the most difficult title of Da Zhao, this kind of monster, I am afraid that people who are qualified to be the father-in-law of Man Jingshi will be very satisfied , but he happens to be a noble, this...

Good luck fooling people!

287. Rumor vs Rumor

There are too many quarrels between civil officials and Xungui, but to sum it up, it is nothing more than that civil officials think that Xungui is too vulgar, commonly known as uneducated, and Xungui thinks that civil officials are too pretentious - even a good ancestor No, you pretend your grandma is a broom?

It has to be said that scholars these days have a very strong sense of superiority, especially among the southern gentry.On the one hand, they think that the capital is the political center, so they must strive to go to the capital, and on the other hand, they think that the capital is too "earthy", so this group of people even look down on the emperor, so...

Is Xungui a fool?

Anyway, the contradictions have accumulated like this, and then gradually developed into the current confrontational situation. If a scholar marries a child of a noble family, he may be regarded by some extreme Qingliu as something to do with power and authority. Then, in this way, the head of civil officials like Ge Lao suddenly married Xungui, wouldn't this matter make all the civil officials look bad?

Although Lao Wen didn't need to get married at all, after all, he was the second assistant, and the first assistant had been on sick leave for the past six months, so it's unlikely that Lao Wen would make further progress soon, but people's words are scary, aren't they?

The pressure of public opinion does not only exist in the era of Huamanlou's previous life, but also this group of people have all kinds of unreasonable speculations, they can talk nonsense with their mouths open, and conspiracy theories abound, and the truth makes people bald.

So Lao Wen struggled all night without falling asleep, and even took a sick leave for a day.

After returning home on the third day, Elder Wen Ge was still entangled in this matter, his brows were so frowned that the servants in the mansion trembled and did not dare to approach him.

Seeing this, Old Wen was even more upset.

When I entered the front hall, I happened to meet the butler, but this guy also looked trembling and flustered, so Old Wen scolded, "Why hide your head and show your tail?"

The housekeeper looked up at Wen Ge carefully and said, "Old... Master, you... haven't heard?"

Old Wen was a little puzzled: "What did you hear?"

The butler nervously swallowed his saliva: "It's just...it's about the eldest lady..."

Elder Wen Ge suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong with Liang'er?"

The butler Qiqi Ai said: "It's...it's nothing, the eldest lady is fine, but...just for some reason, there is a sudden rumor in Beijing that the eldest lady is going to marry that Huamanlou from Huai'an uncle's mansion..."

Wen Ge jumped his feet angrily: "Who spread the word?"

The butler was stunned when he heard it: spread it?Is there really such a thing?

"Say it!"

Seeing that Old Wen was furious, his crown and teeth were about to crack, the housekeeper didn't dare to let it go, so he could only honestly say: "I don't know, but when the back kitchen went out to buy things early this morning, I heard a lot of discussion in the market, the little one Suspecting that someone was causing trouble for no reason, I sent someone to inquire, but after many inquiries, I heard that it was the news from Xishan..."

Old Wen Ge frowned: "Today...the news suddenly came out?"

The butler nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid the whole capital knows now..."

Wen Ge was so angry that he almost twitched. The butler hurriedly supported him to sit on the chair, fed him water and patted his back. After a long time of tossing, Old Wen finally recovered, and sighed, "Go, send someone to the market, and let him go In the name of the family, it is pure rumors..."

Elder Wen Ge couldn't continue after talking halfway: dispelling rumors is the most difficult and useless thing, and when encountering such gossip about the children of those in power, people are more willing to believe that it is true matter, so it is impossible to refute the rumors.

"Forget it, let them say." Old Wen simply gave up the treatment.

So who is lying?

Uncle Huai'an: That's right, it was at...

Hua [-]: It's next!

So, besides the beneficiaries, who else would spread rumors?

After Uncle Huai'an sobered up, he was a little annoyed when he thought of Mr. Wen Ge: They are all foxes of a thousand years, why are you chatting with me?
