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

If you don't do anything, you can eat imperial food, and the food is extremely sweet. It's a role model for my generation!Wouldn't it be a pity not to learn from this group of people?

It just so happened that these three were all interested in firearms, so Huamanlou wanted to brag to them more, so he sent one or two firecrackers that are not costly at all - firecrackers are also controlled products in Dazhao. Each one will be marked and cast with the surname of the blacksmith, so it cannot be circulated casually, but who cares about this?

Even if it is picked on by others, Huamanlou can still test it at that time... Oh, this reason has been used, so it is said that this is to ask the seniors who have spent their lives in the army to try it out to provide valuable suggestions for improvement. Is there anything wrong with it?

only……

"Woooooooo..."

"I said can you stop crying?"

After going out with Qiaoqiao, the girl lowered her head and grabbed Huamanlou's sleeves tightly, and cried very sadly, as if Huamanlou had abandoned her from start to finish. Baldness.

In the situation just now, if she wasn't brought out, the group of scholars could scold the girl until she was hanged, but after she was brought out, how to deal with it would become a problem.

Hua Manlou innocently looked at Zhang Jiahao, who had a playful face, and the brothers from the Qi family who were dark-faced for some reason, then lowered his head and asked Qiaoqiao, "How about I send you back first?"

Qiaoqiao shook her head desperately, but didn't say a word in a daze.Originally, she had a look that I felt pity for, but when the pear blossoms were raining, she had a sense of sight of a frightened little animal, which made people feel a desire to protect.

Even if it's the top brand in the brothel, this girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she belongs to the kind who just debuted, and hasn't seen any big scenes yet.Therefore, it is estimated that the scolding just now really scared her, and now she is in a state of confusion, so it is not good to just let it go and ignore the truth.

Hua Manlou sighed softly in his heart: "Yes, you can go along first, we will talk about your business later. Qin'er, you can hold her by the hand."

Qin'er stepped forward in response, Qiaoqiao also let go of her at the right time, and followed behind a group of people.

The faces of the Qi family brothers turned even darker: What's the matter, did you rely on my sister-in-law?

As I said earlier, Qi Wanrong's personality, appearance, and figure are all incompatible with the aesthetics of this era. On the contrary, a timid girl like Qiaoqiao is more in line with people's taste.Therefore, the Qi family brothers are sure that if Qiaoqiao becomes a concubine for Huamanlou, their little sister will definitely lose to this goblin in the battle for favor, and then...

The two of them glanced worriedly at Qi Wanrong who was not far away, and immediately sighed in unison: Miss Qi is bluffing to summon her female soldiers, looking at...

Can't take it.

The group planned to find a place to sit down and have a good chat. Zhang Jiahao looked back at Qiaoqiao who was following Qin'er, and then whispered to Huamanlou: "Brother Hua, the so-called gentleman has the beauty of being an adult, why don't you pay for her to redeem her body?" Send it to your house?"

It has to be said that Huamanlou has the intention of making friends with Zhang Jiahao, and Zhang Jiahao's sudden appearance today, is it not Ning Guogong who ordered him to make friends with Huamanlou?After all, Ning Guogong is also an insider who knows about 'Uncle Zhao'. Seeing that Huamanlou is obviously in the emperor's heart and has a good relationship with the prince, how could he not give his grandson some hints?

Because, even for nobles of the Duke's level, there are times when they make mistakes.And Hua Manlou has a bright future, which is visible to the naked eye. If you make friends with him, it may be of great use in the future, right?

But Huamanlou was taken aback when he heard the words: "Send it? Ah... this..."

The top card in the brothel... How much is the redemption fee?

No, what kind of trouble is going to happen by sending a girl suddenly!

It's true that Huamanlou's rise to prominence was due to the popularity, and because it was pitiful to see such a cute girl being condemned by a group of people, but he had absolutely no other thoughts, and this kind of sister Lin's beautiful girl Man Lou really couldn't take it anymore - not to mention a punch, even if she didn't punch her, she cried for a long time, is it troublesome?I don't know what the taste of those who like to cry girls...

Zhang Jiahao patted Hua Manlou's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, don't be polite, the Qian Ning government can still afford it, and she has caused such a catastrophe today, I'm afraid it won't be good if she goes back. Redeeming her at that time actually saved her."

Hua Manlou was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Jiahao said with a smile: "Brother Hua didn't go to the Fengyue place in the past, so he doesn't understand the inside story. Who do you think are the most people in the brothel? Isn't it just those sour scholars? So the old bustard keeps them these women to please them. Therefore, not only did they have to teach them poems and songs, but they also had to tinker with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which cost more money and effort than some young ladies from rich families. In this way, Brother Hua, think about it, after today's incident, the people who take care of her business How many can there be? And if it is enough to not be able to make money or even get back the capital, the fate of this Qiaoqiao girl is probably..."

This is the truth, after all, Qiaoqiao's song "Qin Feng" has caused trouble today, and it is because of her that Hua Manlou ruthlessly pissed off those scholars, so this crying little girl will be hated by the scholars. , How can she take care of her business?

After thinking about this episode, Hua Manlou couldn't help feeling depressed: No wonder she was crying so sadly, so it was like this?Can……

Wouldn't it be a little too aggressive to bring a brothel girl home all of a sudden?According to the rhythm of this era, if you take it back, you will be a concubine. You can't say that you have found a secretary for yourself, right?But I haven't married a wife yet, so I have a concubine first... Even if it's a concubine in name, even if you don't consider your reputation, you have to consider your father's heart, right?

Smacking his lips, Hua Manlou said sadly, "Brother Zhang, you should do it yourself. If I want to take it home, my father won't beat me to death? My family is very strict!"

"...very strict?" Zhang Jiahao was puzzled: Your lord almost broke your leg when you bet like that before, but you still haven't repented, now you tell me it's very strict?

Qi Pengfei, who had been unable to intervene all this time, was so anxious that he immediately seized the opportunity to testify for Hua Manlou: "Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Hua Shi can't see this, so you better not make things difficult for him."

Qi Pengwu also responded: "Yes, yes, if you bring this back, Uncle Hua Shi will not interrupt the dog legs of the younger brother?"

Huamanlou immediately had a black line: Can you talk?

Zhang Jiahao suddenly remembered that Uncle Huai'an didn't seem to be marrying after his widowhood, and he didn't even have a concubine in his family. This is quite famous in the honorary circle, so he nodded suddenly: "It's my little brother Meng Lang, Brother Hua No wonder."

After all, he glanced at Qi Pengfei, who seemed a bit weird today, but when he and the second child of the Qi family looked at each other, they seemed relieved...

Zhang Jiahao suddenly realized something in a flash of inspiration, and then he looked at the Qi family brothers with horrified eyes, and five words were clearly written in those eyes: Are you two still human?

When Qi Pengfei noticed his gaze, he glared at him to signal him to shut up, but how could Mr. Zhang be threatened?

And Zhang Jiahao suddenly felt that this was quite interesting, and he couldn't help but want to mix it up to see the excitement, so he said to Huamanlou with a playful face: "But... as the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You have to bring it out first, don’t you? Brother Hua, don’t want to refuse, it’s up to Brother Hua to arrange for people to be sent to the house, and it’s not necessarily necessary to be a concubine. For example, Brother Hua is supervising coal mining in Xishan, so let her help It’s fine to work as an accountant, Brother Hua?”

Qi Pengfei was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't know how to stop him, so he gave Zhang Jiahao an angry look, and then looked at his two hundred and five little sisters again with a look of hatred.

As soon as Zhang Jiahao saw his eyes, he understood, and couldn't help but gloat: This Huamanshang has no good deeds in his life, right? How could he be targeted by these two guys?This lively young master is sure!

Hua Manlou didn't pay attention to these people's eyes that were floating back and forth. He lowered his head and pondered for a while before smiling wryly: "Okay... After all, we should save her first, and we can talk about it later."

At this time, Hua Manlou was thinking: Isn't Huang Zichao unmarried?He's getting old too, so when the time comes, introduce this girl to him...well, just to thank him for protecting his father on a mission?

(Extend the chapter, thank you for your enthusiastic reply, the title of the book... I have to think again)

123. The room is full of embarrassment!

The government of Ningguo handled the affairs very quickly, Zhang Jiahao didn't even show up, and the deed of prostitution had already been sent to the Huai'an uncle's residence by a coincidence during dinner.

As for the price...

On the surface, Huamanlou only sent a few firecrackers to get such a girl that I feel pity for, and in theory, Huamanlou can do anything to her, even if she screams her throat...

cough.

"My maid, Qiaoqiao, I met the young master." After entering the door, Qiaoqiao was going to meet Huamanlou, and she changed her identity in a seemingly normal way.

Looking at Qiaoqiao bowing down to her, Hua Manlou coughed dryly and said, "Get up, I don't have so many rules here."

"Yes." Qiaoqiao replied, very well-behaved.

Hua Manlou suddenly felt that there must be something wrong with this little girl Qin'er, you see that Qiaoqiao's behavior is a standard little girl!

It's just that the configuration of this little maid is a bit high. After all, people are redeemed to be concubines. This... In other words, why did she call herself a maid?

Putting aside the messy thoughts, Hua Manlou scratched his head and asked, "Well, what was your original name? Is there anyone else at home?"

Qiaoqiao pursed her lips: "It doesn't matter if I don't mention the maidservant's original name, there is no one in the house anymore."

In this era, for various reasons, it is not uncommon for children to be prostituted. Some send their sons to temples or palaces, and some send their daughters to Qinlou and Chuguan.Seeing her like this, it might be such a sad thing to ask, so Hua Manlou had no choice but to skip this topic: "Then what, what happened today...why do you sing about Qin Feng..."

As soon as Hua Manlou said this, she felt that she was being cheap again: knowing that she was sold around because of this, so asking this is not intentional?

But Qiaoqiao raised his head, looked seriously at Huamanlou and said, "Young master saved Datong from fire and water. As a family member of Datong, even if... he was sold to the capital, he was still from there. In the past years, the Tartars often went south to plunder If it comes in time, the folks and folks can still hide in the mountains to avoid disaster, but if it is too late..."

When she said this, she lowered her head, tears flickering in her eyes: "My servant once saw all the men next door were killed, even the three-year-old son was thrown into the well, and the woman... was killed by the Tartars. I'm tied up, now I don't know whether I'm dead or alive, even if I'm alive, I'm afraid life would be worse than death. The maidservant has also seen that an [-]-year-old man was beaten to death by the Tartars, and a [-]-year-old woman was tortured to the point of insanity by the Tartars. ...So, if the Tartars broke the city this time, what would Datong be like? I'm afraid it would be a hell on earth..."

Biting her lips, Qiaoqiao continued: "It is said in the market that if there is no young master offering Purdue, there will be no victory in Datong, so the maid is thinking, no matter what, I must thank the young master for the elders of Datong, but who knows... Who knows..."

At this point she was about to cry again, Hua Manlou hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's not your problem, it's their problem, don't worry about it."

"Yes."

Having said that, Hua Manlou suddenly felt that there was nothing to talk about again, he scratched his head and said, "Then... what are your plans in the future?"

Qiaoqiao looked at Huamanlou in astonishment: "Plan?"

Hua Manlou looked at her in embarrassment: "I mean, if you want to regain your freedom, or want to get married, I can help you..."

According to Zhang Jiahao's intention, he would directly take her into the house, but after all, Hua Manlou just met her today, and he didn't even say a few words. He didn't have any emotional foundation and it was just that. It felt like a real animal.And Qiaoqiao is still in panic now, she has lost the agility she had when she first saw her, and her whole body is a bit shriveled, what are you talking about accepting the house at this time?

As for introducing her to Huang Zichao...

Just thinking about it, Huang Zichao is an official ordered by the court, even if the Ming media is marrying, he must have a clean family background, and in the end send Qiaoqiao to be a concubine, then...

Isn't it equivalent to giving Qiaoqiao another gift?

He said he wanted to feel...ahem, to criticize the corruption of the feudal aristocracy, but Hua Manlou couldn't accept sending a girl who I felt sorry for like a commodity. His education and self-cultivation made him unable to do so. do it.So he felt that he should ask what Qiaoqiao meant first, although it is really out of tune and inappropriate to ask now...

That's right, it's a bit out of date, after all, this era is not popular at all.

After understanding Hua Manlou's meaning, Qiaoqiao immediately said: "The young master saved the servant girl today, and now the servant girl is also the young master's person, so naturally it is all up to the young master's arrangement, whether it is a cow or a horse, or as a gift, absolutely. No complaints."

This made Hua Manlou a little confused: What do you mean?Think I dislike you?

"I'm not..." Hua Manlou opened his mouth to explain, but what he said now is wrong, so he could only say bitterly: "Forget it, you go to rest first, there are too many things today, and I will talk about it tomorrow."

It can be seen that this chick's mood is still not very stable. After all, today's bunch of things have completely changed her fate, and it is really inappropriate to talk about it now.

As for the future...

Why don't you really let her go to Xishan as a bookkeeper?After all, this girl is more talented than ordinary talents. As Zhang Jiahao said, the resources invested in her by the brothel are not obtained by ordinary talents. It is okay to teach her some mathematics later on, right?

Qiaoqiao saluted Hua Manlou and was about to leave, but Hua Manlou added: "By the way, you... don't call yourself a maid, it sounds like you're not used to it."

Qiaoqiao suddenly raised her head and glanced at Hua Manlou: "...Yes."

She couldn't understand her suddenly shy eyes, but she realized something was wrong in an instant, so she said immediately: "Then what, just... You see, Qin'er didn't claim to be a maid, did she? It's my own problem, nothing else!"

Claiming to be self-proclaimed is actually very connotative. Hua Manlou's words can be understood as ordinary unaccustomed, or it can be understood as he hopes Qiaoqiao to call himself someone else, such as: concubine, concubine body, slave family...

After hearing this explanation, Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment and then blushed: "Maid...I will take my leave first..."

How embarrassing!The whole house is embarrassing!

After Qin'er took Qiaoqiao out, Huamanlou calmed down for a while, before she could calm down and think about what happened today, and regretted it a little.

It's not because I regretted saving Qiaoqiao, but because I angered the scholars this time. This group of people will definitely trip me up. Maybe they will retaliate wildly with all kinds of open guns and dark arrows, and they may even be included in the book. Cursed in Li - isn't Chen Shimei such a typical example?An honest and upright official ends up being infamous through the ages. This is what scholars do.

So if this is the case, you can't just wait to be bullied, can you?

What's more, if you can't get into the circle of scholars, safety must be guaranteed first, and the resources of the noble circle alone feel that it is not enough, so whose thigh should you hug?

(I said, first of all, I declare that I will not write Tauren, and I will not feed Xiang. Didn’t I accept the most controversial Tan Xiaoniu in the supporting role? Secondly, the male protagonist is not necessarily a girl, so he should be in it? And what I hope is to write a character with flesh and blood. The background of this character has not been revealed. Is it too pretentious to send it directly to the bed? What's more, the emotional line naturally needs to develop slowly, otherwise what is the emotional line?

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Wen family member has gradually developed a good impression, and the Qi family member is worried by the people around her. She herself is ignorant, and Qin'er is not enlightened. This coincidence is at most admiration and gratitude, and there is not much interaction. , how to enter the relationship line? )

124. Make trouble for yourself

The poem "Mocking Sour Ding" spread to the entire capital at a crazy speed under the dissemination of the headliner present and the eldest lady of the official family, and at the same time began to spread outside the capital.

After hearing this poem, the reaction of civil servants was not too big, because the higher the position, the more they understood that the Four Books and Five Classics were actually a stepping stone.The times are constantly changing, and it is okay to educate the world with the words of saints, but if we use this to govern the country, there will be great troubles.

Although Hua Manlou said that half of the Analects of Confucius ruled the world in his previous life, this sentence was originally a line from a drama in the Yuan Dynasty. Contempt for Confucianism and Confucian scholars, there is a saying that there are nine Confucians and ten beggars. Don't they get the same treatment as Ah Q?

Therefore, the high-ranking civil servants are still very clear. They didn't take it seriously at all. At most, they scolded Hua Manlou, an ignorant kid who had made some meritorious deeds. He was boastful and shameless.

Among the civil servants, the pragmatic group headed by Mr. Wen Ge responded the most flatly, and even some radicals thought that Hua Manlou was right to ridicule.

Wen Gelao himself read the poem three times after his daughter handed it over, and then actually smiled: "Hua Man Lou is a man of knowledge, but it's not good to be unforgiving. Why bother to mock those people so bitterly? Isn't this just asking for trouble for yourself?"

It has to be said that Wen Ge always saw things quite accurately, and Hua Manlou's poem stimulated the sensitive and delicate nerves of scholars. This poem caused an uproar among scholars headed by Qingliu and the Imperial Academy.

Some slapped the table and cursed, some wanted to smash the Huai'an uncle's mansion, some racked their brains to write poems back, and even scolded the group of people who were present at the poetry meeting - Huamanlou Yijie The military officer can make such a poem to mock us, so you so-called talented people have read the sage books for so many years, but you can't pay back on the spot?Read all the books into the dog's belly?

So these guys are on the move.

Qingliu and the Taoist officials naturally took the old court route. They wrote a letter accusing Hua Manlou of slandering the holy learning, because the holy learning is the foundation of governing the country, how could it become a "white-haired dead chapter" after more research?Could it be that people who study holy science don’t understand economic policy?

Some people also accused Huamanlou of treason, attempting to subvert the orthodox position of Confucianism for thousands of years, and restart Legalism—because "Qin's prime minister's mansion, don't need to praise clothes" is about Li Si not using Confucian disciples.

Of course, the latter one is purely for eyeballs, and no one will take it seriously.After Dong Zhongshu assisted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to depose the Confucianism of the hundred schools of thought, for thousands of years, it has not been heard that the hundred schools of thought have the idea of ​​revival, right?

And if Qingliu's group still complies with the Basic Law, some Shilin scholars don't pay attention to martial arts. Early in the morning, a group of scholars who were unhappy blocked the gate of the Huai'an uncle's mansion, and they would spend a whole floor to ask for advice. Fan: Come out and let's compare Confucian etiquette, don't you spend a lot of time comparing yourself to your uncle and grandson?

So, who is Shu Suntong?

Some people say that he is the most up-to-date sage in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, and some criticize him for being too sloppy, but in fact, he set the Han ceremony that has been handed down since the Han Dynasty. From the perspective of Confucianism , Shu Suntong also contributed a lot. It can be said that he has established a correct view of Confucianism: he believes that there will never be an ideal society imagined by these Confucian scholars to rule the world purely with benevolence, righteousness, propriety and music, so flexible Practicing Confucianism, knowing the important affairs of the time, and advancing with the times can influence the monarch and the people step by step, so as to change the course of history.

These three views are not wrong, right?

So what Shusun Tong despises the most is the kind of rotten Confucianism who can't understand the ancients and can't study hard, but this group of scholars only saw the surface: Shusun Tong established the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty.

Ever since, a large group of scholars insisted on comparing with a military officer who has a deeper understanding of etiquette.

This group of people stood at the entrance of the Huai'an uncle's mansion, neither chanting slogans, nor smashing and looting - after all, the plaque on the door was impressively written with the words "Imperial to build the Huai'an uncle's mansion", if they messed up, they would be completely lost Morally, they can still understand this point.

only……

Early in the morning, the gates of the Huai'an uncle's mansion were closed, and there was no movement in the mansion. This made the group of scholars just stand in the cold wind of the capital and wait, shivering, not knowing whether they were angry or cold. .

But at this time, the Huai'an uncle's study was as warm as spring, comfortable and pleasant.

"Master, is it really okay to leave those people alone?" Qin'er brought a cup of hot tea and placed it by Hua Manlou's hand.

Hua Manlou said indifferently: "Otherwise, do you want to go out and scold them? Let me tell you, the more you talk to these idiots, the happier they will be. It's better to let them hang out. They will disperse if they can't stand the cold." go."
