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

Although Dazhao's Prince Fuchen and Sangong Sangu are all honorary positions, but this thing...

That's it!

447. The Bloody Capitalist

To be honest, Hua Manlou basically has no interest in official positions or titles, and he is even more dismissive of the power that many people pursue.

The reason is very simple, the so-called want to wear the crown must bear the weight, want to hold the rose must bear the injury, the gains and losses are fair to a certain extent, and occasionally there is the situation of getting too much but not being able to control falling to pieces Come on—two lifetimes, Hua Manlou is too transparent about this matter.

Therefore, following the route he had just crossed over to plan for himself was actually the most in line with his position as a salted fish: to have a title, to have fame, and then to make a lot of money by tinkering with things like perfume and soap that everyone in the world would tinker with. A beautiful daughter-in-law...or several, anyway, no one would hold a dignitary like him accountable for this.

How good is the second generation ancestor, who does not take responsibility and does not work hard, and does not have much risk and will not make enemies with many people. How good is this?

However, the heaven failed to fulfill the wishes of people, or it could be said that his cheap mouth caused disasters, several times of chances and coincidences pushed him to the current situation, and now it is difficult to beg for bones—— Hearing that Emperor Guangxing gave himself a second-rank queen and spent a lot of money The whole person of Lou is not good, how can there be a second grade?

Oh, yes, I guess Gan Luo used to be higher than this level, but he died quite early...

As far as Hirawa was concerned, it was just a thousand households in Xishan, and it was okay to say that the president and bachelor of the Royal Institute of Technology could also be regarded as an enclosure. After all, orthodox scholars did not recognize their academic qualifications at all.

But after Emperor Guangxing made such a mess, Hua Manlou completely became the general who controls the most powerful army near the capital—a thousand households count as a school officer, and a commander is already counted as a general, and he has reached the end of many civil servants' lifetime pursuit .

For example, Nie Wenbing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is already considered the most powerful position in Dazhao, but even so, he does not have the false title of Prince and Young Master.

Therefore, even though he was still wandering on the edge of the court, after the young master of the prince got his hands on him, he would leave the power for a lifetime and Zhao Ren would be short of Zhao Ren to take the stage. The purpose of going out is to find Huamanlou?

And the honorary position of Prince Young Master is not randomly canonized, although it is an honorary position in Dazhao, but it depends on who takes it-this is like the grandson of Rong Guogong and the commander of Xuanwuwei. But can he go to Xuanwuwei to dictate?And although Lu Kun, the actual commander of the Xuanwu Guard, does not have a title, who in the Xuanwu Guard dare not take him seriously?

With such a swipe, Emperor Guangxing not only properly identified Hua Manlou as the prince's teacher, but also properly assigned him as the assistant minister of the Eastern Palace. No one in Zhan Shifu dared to disrespect him—that is to say, now that Huamanlou can freely enter and leave the East Palace, and he can also teach Zhao Ren directly in Zhan Shifu, Zhan Shifu and Zhan Shifu dare not comment on this , who made him the prince's young teacher?

And if Emperor Guangxing had some natural or man-made accident, then Huamanlou would smoothly become the real minister of Tuogu. That character will give him a shot to the Grand Master, and make many civil servants angry...

The only thing to be thankful for is that his official position is not Prince Shaobao. Master Wei Bo said that there are no good people who are officially appointed as Prince Shaobao...

If it was just like this, Hua Manlou would generally only feel a pain in his head, and he would not feel like crying without tears.

Because, the shipping and naval divisions were created by Hua Manlou himself, and others couldn't handle them at all.However, Huamanlou's original plan only wanted to ban the opening of the sea, and let other things take their course. After all, after the opening of the sea, whether they like it or not, there will be conflicts in market share between the East and the West, and communication or conflict is normal. phenomenon, at most...

It was nothing more than fooling around with a certain companion to go to the West, anyway, he just wanted to hand over this matter completely.

But Emperor Guangxing didn't agree at all, and he had to add a time limit for him to find new crops-after so long, Emperor Guangxing could be considered to have figured out Huamanlou's beating nature, or he thought he Know.

He can see the traditional low-key of Laohua's family, so in his opinion, Huamanlou's occasional refrain from making big moves or doing foreign work is mostly out of caution and awe, or because he is afraid that the master who has made great achievements will offend taboos.

But he is not at all afraid of Huamanlou's great achievements or the situation where there is no reward. Considering the beating nature of Laohua's family, he guesses that from time to time he will make some gossip or black material into him Hand over the initiative to him—isn't that why Hua Manlou stubbornly wants to marry Wan Cheng Yanran?

And this time Pingwo, there is no need for Huamanlou to cheat other people's silver mines, but he just did it. If he is killed, he can be killed just by forging the imperial decree. Which emperor doesn't like such a courtier?

Therefore, Emperor Guangxing not only boldly recruited Xishanwei to grant Huamanlou with real military power, but also conferred the title of prince and junior division to elevate his status to a stage worthy of his merits and his python robe. Cheerfully forcing Huaman downstairs to give him a military order to give him peace of mind, and what...

In front of Huamanlou, he decreed to hand over the navy to a certain prince who is still playing in Jinling, and he wrote a sealed decree, which probably means that this girl who is about to be squeezed by the juicers on the Qinhuai River The surnamed Zhang Guogong who did it continued to cooperate with Huamanlou's work.

Little Zhang Guogong would not point fingers at Huamanlou because of things like seizing power when he was young. The post was concocted.

Of course, with the filter of Xiao Zhang Guogong, Emperor Guangxing added a layer of insurance to himself. This is a normal operation, and it is by no means a suspicion of Huamanlou.

That is to say, on the bright side, Emperor Guangxing played for Huamanlou by raising the level of Xishan Xuanwu Guard, and also gave a seemingly honorary position to the prince and junior teacher, but in fact the biggest head was the general. Da Zhao's maritime affairs were completely handed over to Hua Manlou, and he even implicitly stated that even diplomatic affairs were up to him...

Therefore, if you still don’t understand the importance that Emperor Guangxing attached to Huamanlou, you can roughly understand it as follows: the chief of the capital’s garrison, the principal of the highest university in Dazhao, the teacher of the next generation’s successor, the supreme commander of the navy, the minister of foreign affairs, Does it sound exciting?

All in all, Emperor Guangxing's operation of the old mille-layer cake completely pushed Huamanlou up, causing Huamanlou to almost cry when he left the palace: Father, do you still remember that the son didn't even bother to get married?

I thought it would stop completely after returning to Beijing, but why do you want to squeeze it desperately? Bloody capitalists dare not play like this, right?

448. Gentle Township

For Huamanlou, the feeling of going home is very good.

As always, Qin'er sat on the front steps and waited, as always, she yelled 'Young Master' and plunged into Huamanlou's arms, as always... Or rather, she was hit harder than the previous few times, almost being hit by Huamanlou Knock out internal injuries.

Not seeing each other for only nine months, Qin'er seemed to have grown from a lolita to a girl, and her whole body has lost a lot of weight. The baby fat on her face disappeared, replaced by a touch of blush, quite Lovely.

Hua Manlou patted her little head and said with a smile, "I'm back, do you miss me?"

Qin'er raised her face, nodded first, then immediately let go of Hua Manlou and said embarrassingly: "Quick, go in quickly, the young lady is still waiting!"

Madam...

Huamanlou was a little emotional.

Theoretically, the Young Madam does exist, but calling the Young Madam indiscriminately before actually going through the door always feels that there is something wrong, and if you meet a few old antiques, you may even question whether there is something wrong with the Hua family's family tradition.

But having said that, I have already eaten it without going through the door, and I have already started to take care of the backyard affairs at home, so if I don’t call you the young lady at this time, it seems that I don’t care about others or lie to them, scumbag full of meaning.

Of course, marrying three at the same time is bad enough.

After thinking about this incident, Hua Manlou fell into a weird self-loathing for no reason: he has become the kind of person he hated the most in the past. A lot of people like this...

Isn't it the kind of template that is cast aside by most people?

"Master?" Seeing Hua Manlou's complex expression, Qin'er tilted her head and tugged on his sleeve, a little puzzled.

Hua Manlou shook his head and completely put aside his messy thoughts, and said with a smile: "Well, it's okay, let's go home!"

Wan Cheng Yanran was the only one who greeted Huamanlou in the front hall, but his eyes were sharp, and he could see the purple skirt corner behind the screen in the hall with a glance.

After thinking about it for a while, Hua Manlou figured out the connotation: she is a big woman who is warm and cool outside, but it can be seen from her performance that Miss Baimao is the one who decides the family, so she hides aside, afraid of breaking the rules.

Looking at Wan Cheng Yanran, she walked over with bundled hands and feet to salute her husband who hadn't returned for a long time like a big woman, Hua Manlou walked up to her without hesitation, hugged her, and gnawed on her like Su Su for many years...

It wasn't until Miss Baimao's eyes blurred and her breath became unsteady that she almost couldn't stand still, Hua Manlou let her go and said with a smile, "I'm back!"

"Ah... just... just come back." Wan Chengyan was dizzy and her eyes were straight: How can there be such an unruly family in a wealthy family?

After Huamanlou let go of Wan Chengyan, she got behind the screen under the latter's blank and surprised eyes, and with a timid exclamation, Miss Wen was also poisoned...well, poisoned.

The weird sense of distance that came from not seeing each other for nine months broke the wall every minute due to Hua Manlou's unscrupulous behavior of playing hooligans.

Of course, behaviors such as playing hooligans with the young daughter-in-law at home will generally not be brought to the bureau to be educated, and after Huamanlou ended his hooliganism, Miss Wen ran away in shame, and finally even She disguised herself as a man and fled home—in any case, it was not very appropriate for her to stay here without going through the door, and she thought it would be nice to see Huamanlou come back safely.

Of course Huamanlou doesn't mind Miss Wen running away without a fight, and even thinks it's good for her to run away now, because there are important things to do with Miss Baimao, and if she is there...

Cough, accidental injury is impossible, but it may be psychologically difficult to pass this level.

For the sake of the peace in the backyard, even if you can't make a bowl of water level, you have to have such an attitude. On the premise that you have never passed the door, it is not appropriate to go to Miss Baimao's room in front of Miss Wen. Bar?

So, without too much nonsense, without hypocritical greetings, and without caring about the speechless expressions of Qin'er and Qiaoqiao hiding in the corner of the backyard, Hua Manlou hugged Wan Cheng Yanran into the bedroom on the spot.

This battle was very long, and it was overtime several times, as if it was going to make up for the nine-month blank period, so that the two of them didn't even think much about talking. They only care about restoring the blood bar...

Sometimes body language is simpler and more direct than words, and can better express a person's emotions. To a certain extent, cursing a few words such as Cao Nima is far less relieved than punching an enemy in the face. Reasonably, having sex on the couch for two hours is far more expressive of love between a man and a woman than a few sultry words—the premise is that there must be the physical strength, endurance and resilience of fighting for two hours.

Anyway...

When Huamanlou came out of the room with a tired face and trembling legs to eat dinner and recover her strength, Miss Baimao had already passed out. In terms of the battle situation, Huamanlou won a miserable victory.

During the meal, Hua Manlou was even thinking about: Should I eat something like leeks or something like that, or should I strengthen my body a bit later, such as doing [-] squats a day?After all, as the saying goes, there are only exhausted cows, but no plowed land...

All in all, let's ignore the other things first, and it's time to prepare for marriage if it's not too bad.

"Young...Young Master, please use..." Qiaoqiao, who was blushing, stood aside and filled Huamanlou with tea.

Hua Manlou glanced at her, nodded to express his gratitude, but his mind turned to another matter: Qiaoqiao has been with him for more than a year, and in terms of age, she is seventeen this year, so she should be accepted. Yes, but on the surface...

Why does this girl look younger than the current Qin'er?

Originally, Huamanlou thought that Qiaoqiao should be given a title because her big wedding is not too bad, but seeing her more and more pitiful temperament, Huamanlou couldn't help but hesitate a little, thinking that it seems that taking over the house at this time seems to be a big deal. A bit too brutish—although it's not a thing these days.

or……

Check your body another day?This girl looks like a pair of A, as if she is not as big as Qin'er - the hug earlier has realized the size of a little girl - but this pair of A seems to be too much, but it seems that massage can start to work ...

With such wild thoughts, Hua Manlou's gaze became a little crooked, causing Qiaoqiao's little face to turn redder and redder: In order to ensure that Hua Manlou could have a good meal after finishing work, the little girl and Qin'er listened to two The time is right behind the wall, so seeing Hua Manlou's eyes like this now, I can't help thinking wrong...

Just as Huamanlou fell deeply into tenderness, the atmosphere in Beijing became more and more wrong.

(The first two chapters and the transition of this chapter...Actually, I don't think it's too much, right? Let's explain the background by the way, and I have to summarize some of the previous things. Anyway...If you really use dialogue to advance, just the first two Chapters can be divided into seven or eight chapters. Originally, I thought my morals were online...)

449. Dirty water

As far as Hua Manlou's merits are concerned, it is not too much to give a prince as a junior teacher. After all, he has completely handed over the military power of the navy on the surface, and his title has not been promoted, and it is also true that the Xishan Guard separated from the Xuanwu Guard and became a whole. due meaning.

That is to say, on the surface, it seems that Huamanlou is just promoted from a fifth-rank thousand households to a third-rank guard with accumulated meritorious service. The scope of power is still on the side of Xishan, and the military officer is not worth much—Geng Tiancheng, He Qing The old three, Hao Liangcai, used to be the subordinates of Huamanlou, and these three old ones were also commanders of the guards. You can see the importance of military officers by looking at their miserable appearance.

And the young master of the prince also has a saying.

For example, Qi Shaobao, who fought against the Japanese in Huamanlou's previous life, was appointed as Shaobao after the Northern Yutatar. In terms of achievements, Huamanlou completely defeated the Japanese pirates, and even occupied an island of the Japanese country. The credit is higher than that of Qi Shaobao when he wiped out the Japanese pirates along the coast and the Japanese pirates who went ashore in Nanping, and the added value of promoting the country's prestige is not excessive at all, and even a little low.

However, some people in Beijing used this to talk about things. At first, it was only suspected that some people said that Emperor Guangxing rewarded and punished too much, but soon this fire burned on Hua Manlou, and the gossip started from whether it was reasonable for him to be named a prince and a young teacher. , and then began to spread rumors.

It has to be said that there are people from all dynasties and generations who spread rumors, and no matter how stupid the rumors are, people will believe them, and they will often intensify.

Therefore, on the second day after Huamanlou returned to Beijing, the concierge Hua Er came back and told him that it was rumored that Huamanlou extorted money in the south, received tens of millions of taels of silver, and deceived a large number of people into the military camp on the grounds of conscription. Beating into tricks, and characterizing them as Japanese pirates, in order to accumulate merit.

This kind of rumor is actually extremely senseless, but many people believe it directly. The main reason is that not everyone knows the situation in the south, and the fact that Huamanlou brought back too many prisoners. There are tens of thousands of battles. This is an achievement that no one in Dazhao has achieved in the past [-] years. Come three years...

After messing with so many people to do shipping business together, and signing so many contracts, the money received for 'membership' is really tens of millions of taels. This kind of thing can't be hidden from those who are interested.

But this kind of rumor with half the truth is the most difficult to distinguish, so if this rumor is completely turned into "crime evidence" of Huamanlou, the censor and the officials will definitely attack it, and some civil officials in the court will also attack it. He will never be soft-hearted, even if he doesn't come forward to fight Hua Manlou to death, he will secretly contribute to the flames.

So, is it because the censors have no memory and have to bite the hard bone of Huamanlou, or the officials have changed and don't know Huamanlou's combat strength; or they haven't impeached Huamanlou for nine months, Thinking you've done it again and wanting revenge?

"It's just because I affected the interests of many people." Hua Manlou saw this very clearly, and even thought it was a little funny.

"After the Japanese pirates were wiped out, the situation at sea has completely changed. Now Dazhao's shipping is completely in my hands, so people who used to be unable to meddle in, but some people who used to take the lead Didn't get in the car, so jumped out to add to my traffic."

With a sigh, Hua Manlou wryly smiled and said to Wan Chengyan who was watching worriedly: "Actually, they don't need to fight me at all, just come and chat with me with the money and play together. Are you recruiting outside the market?"

Wan Yanran felt at ease when she heard the words, and smiled at Hua Manlou embarrassedly, and then said softly: "I don't understand your affairs, but you are in a high position, no matter what, you will hinder some people's affairs , just be more careful."

The former Miss Baimao was a smart and alert girl no matter what, but after more than a year of peaceful life and being thoroughly captured by Huamanlou, she has completely let go of her defenses and turned into a good wife and loving mother , or love makes people completely different, anyway, now she has completely become a soft girl-the kind who is soft everywhere, but her voice is much softer than before.

"High position...ha." Hua Manlou smiled wryly again: "I would rather not have such a high position. Just look at it. Before I can catch my breath when I come back, someone rushes to make things difficult for me. What's the use of this high position? Compared to this , I would like to plan the marriage more, but it has been postponed for more than half a year."

Wan Teng covered her mouth with a soft smile and said, "Well, there are people who are more anxious than you. They often can't sleep at night, and their belts are getting wider. It depends on how you compensate her."

"Uh..." Hua Manlou scratched her head, not knowing whether Miss Baimao was telling a fact to make fun of him, or expressing her dissatisfaction cryptically.

After all, it was a bit brainless and stupid to force kiss Wen Liang in front of Wan Cheng Yanran yesterday through a screen. Anyway, when I was excited, I thought it was all my daughter-in-law, so it should be fine, but now the situation...

Could it be that the young lady is about to start learning the unique poisonous scorpion skills in the deep house compound?This style of painting is wrong!

But before Huamanlou could figure it out, Wan Chengyan seemed to understand Huamanlou's embarrassment, and explained herself: "Sister Wen's sister has slept with me since you left, if not, how would I know? She can't sleep at night?"

Hua Manlou was instantly relieved: "Oh, I thought... Forget it, it's nothing."

I thought the daughter-in-law had become a dramatist.

But then again, is the relationship between these two people so good?What happened during your expedition?

At the Qixi Festival, it seemed that the two of them didn't have much contact with each other. They were basically busy with their own business. Hua Manlou was even afraid that Miss Baimao would suddenly enter the game and have a three-nation melee with the two young ladies, but now ...

Sun Liu united...Qi Wanrong is going to be miserable?

Women's friendship is completely incomprehensible!

After Wan Cheng Yanran smiled, he brought the topic back to the main topic: "Are you troublesome about the rumors?"

Hua Manlou pondered for a while when he heard the words, and then said: "It's not so much trouble...it's more disgusting to say that this matter is true, probably."

Hua Manlou knew very well that as long as Emperor Guangxing was not suspicious, the dirty water would basically have no attack power against him. This was the power of the holy family.

But having said that, if this matter is not settled, once these people are allowed to tell the truth, the pressure on Emperor Guangxing will be a bit heavy...

Thinking of this, Hua Manlou suddenly had a flash of inspiration: If Emperor Guangxing couldn't bear this pressure, would he dismiss himself directly?

But he quickly rejected this idea, because firstly, the dirty water splashed this time was simply filthy and stinky, and it would be too disgusting to admit it, and secondly, Emperor Guangxing would never dismiss himself because of this—— Tudou Things related to the people's livelihood and the emperor's achievements like corn are too fragrant, which leads to the fact that before the completion of this matter, as long as it is not a faint king, Huamanlou's place is generally immovable except for rebellion.

"All in all, I'd better go visit Elder Wen Ge and Uncle Qi first, and see what's going on with them while saying hello...Well, don't worry anyway, nothing will happen." Hua Manlou didn't want Wan Yanran to get involved With this kind of nonsense, we changed the topic.

Wan Chengyan nodded: "Then bring more guards when you go out these days, and don't let Miss Su stay too far away from you."

"OK."

450. Stop!
