The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 111
The head of the family came to the capital's mansion again, and the noise immediately resumed here.

Huan'er, Le'er and six Mr. Bai and Lan were left behind on Huangjiashan Island to teach everyone how to read. Zhao Rui is the executive principal. Of course, the others followed to the capital.

They all have teaching tasks, one hundred youngster Huang Sheng still brought with him to teach personally, and Bai Mudan is of course a good helper.

In the capital, you can't casually use the Lumi blunderbuss to let the young musketeers conduct live ammunition shooting training. It will be terrible to alarm the Wucheng Bingma Si or Jinyiwei.

It doesn't matter, they all have a wooden iron rod flintlock rifle model to practice stabbing, this special training gun is exactly the same size and weight as the actual combat equipment.

The teenagers all have military stabs in their waists. As long as the military stabs are installed on the iron barrels of the special training guns, they will be bayonet guns. The stabbing tactics of the early [-]th century in groups of three is a compulsory course for them.

Both Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao stayed on Huangjiashan Island to train cold weapon troops, summing up their field experience this time in order to improve the efficiency of the next battle.

This trip brought Huang Dongshan and Gou'er to the capital to broaden their horizons.

Therefore, this time, Miss Ding Chu'er, who came to Huang's house in the capital, did not know any of them.

In the residence of the British Duke, Zhang Weixian, who returned home from morning court, was talking with his son Zhang Zhiji and daughter Zhang Chuer in the study.

"In this way, that Guangning scholar is indeed a rare talent!" The old man nodded after listening to his son tell the story of Huang Sheng helping the Xiong family obtain the first rank of slavery.

Zhang Zhiji also felt honored, and said: "No, I didn't believe what my sister said about Mr. Huang's actions in Liaodong, but now it seems that it should be absolutely true."

"Well, my father also helped Sun Dushi with a few good words in the court today. This time, the reward of Liaodong has finally been settled."

Miss Chu'er was angry at that man's absurdity, but she couldn't let it go. She asked, "Father, did the emperor give Mr. Huang a Jinshi background?"

"That's not true." The Duke of England told his sons and daughters about the imperial court's reward, and it was indeed the result that Mao Yuanyi had found out a long time ago.

It can be seen that the imperial court is full of leaks, and state affairs can be bargained like a vegetable market. No wonder high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty dare to fight in the court!There are many people who scold ministers and emperors.

Civil officials in the Ming Dynasty were not afraid of the imperial staff because they were named directly. There were many civil officials who dared to persecute the emperor with death. The decree will be refused to carry out.

I have never heard of any minister in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who would fight in the court, and I have never heard of anyone scolding the street. My ears are full of slaves who are convicted, slaves deserve to die, and the emperor is wise.

Chu'er pursed her mouth and said unwillingly: "I only gave you a seventh grade, and it's just for fame. The court is too stingy."

Seeing that his daughter had a different attitude towards Mr. Huang, Zhang Weixian immediately became alert.He loves Chu'er very much. He is 15 years old this year and has not yet arranged a marriage for her.

Many nobles asked people to propose marriage, but he shied away because his daughter was still young. Today, he suddenly found out that his daughter had grown up, and felt lost for a while.

It seems that there is some truth in the jokes of later generations that the father-in-law and the son-in-law were rivals in love in the previous life!
Three days later, the Huang family was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and everyone was beaming. Why are they so happy?Because he received the emperor's imperial decree in the morning, the master was promoted again.

In the capital, there are as many seventh-rank officials as dogs, which is not worth mentioning at all, but it is of great significance to Huang Sheng.

The saddest part of the imperial examination was Qiuwei. The students were just scholars, and the talent of the examination could be obtained easily with the strength of the family.

It's not easy to raise people, and it can't be done with money.

The fiercely competitive Nanzhili Baizhong often appeared, so many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River became teachers, and the most famous one was Shaoxing, where there were many scholars.

Don't they want to be officials?No!Because they can't get the name of Juren.

Having this fame means stepping into the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats, and it is possible to be a justifiable civil servant.

Although Master Huang Sheng's rank is only the seventh rank, but he is the only one!Such a young civil servant was rare in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to his reputation, many congratulatory people almost blocked the entire alley.

In addition to the noble delegation headed by Zhang Zhiji, the guests who came to Huang's house also came with many civil officials, most of them were friends of Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi.

The running water banquet is opened, the music is played, the dance is started, and the reception is held.

Huang Sheng came with an alternative reception method, which was equivalent to a combination of Chinese and Western. In fact, the people who came and went were all bureaucrats. They didn't care about food and drink.

In the afternoon, a rare visitor came to the house, an old acquaintance Wu Xiang.

This kid is obviously a military officer in Liaodong, and no one cares about him wandering around in the capital. He even brought a few friends to recommend to Huang Sheng.

"Master Huang, congratulations! The official came too late, and the mansion is already full of guests!"

"General Wu, don't come here unharmed, why be so polite when you come!"

"A mere gift is not enough to show respect. I hope Mr. Huang will accept it with a smile. Today, I have brought a few friends with me. This is..." Wu Xiang introduced the friends he brought to Huang Sheng one by one.

These people are the spokesmen of bureaucratic capital, the Li family and the Ye family who have retired from the cabinet, the Zhang family and the Wang family of the current officials, and so on.

Although Huang Sheng was a little surprised by these people's sudden visits, they were all guests. After thinking about it carefully, of course we must make them feel at home.

Soon Huang Sheng discovered Wu Xiang's social skills, he ran around by himself, actively approached people to promote himself, and even tried his best to curry favor with those nobles.

Those friends in the business field were all curious about the way the Huang family received them, and everything they saw was new.

It was the first time that they discovered that they could invite everyone to dance while inviting guests to drink. Looking at the adults who danced happily, these people were silently learning this way of hospitality.

They later found out that they might not be able to learn it. The level of Huang's band is already unparalleled, and they were even more dumbfounded when they came to perform a guest song. know?
These oiran ladies seemed to be raised by the Huang family. They warmly received every guest, so that everyone couldn't tell who was the host.

Today's Lan Cai'er is radiant, Mr. Huang has been promoted, she is more excited than anyone else, Mr. Huang has already called her Cai'er, it seems that he has recognized her in his heart, the beauty has hope, of course she is quite outstanding.

As long as a guest booed her to play a song, she would happily sing it, making Rumeng sour with anger.

Huang Sheng was also very happy. He not only danced with his beauty Lotus Xiang, but also took the initiative to lead Xi Shi to several songs.

It was lively until the second watch, when the guests went back one after another, and none of Wu Xiang and his friends left.

It seemed that the long-legged general had something to discuss with him, so Huang Sheng invited them to the small living room.

As soon as everyone sat down after a few pleasantries, Wu Xiang presented a stack of bank notes. Huang Sheng didn't understand what he meant, of course he didn't want to, and asked, "General Wu, what does this mean?"

"Master Huang, I have something to do this time, please help me!"
