The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 15 Qu Gao and Widow
With Mao Yuanyi's arrangement, Huang Sheng and his family lived in a large courtyard near the government office.

Those Han people who were rescued were also resettled.Originally, Ningyuan had immigrated here to guard here, and these people became the residents here.

Huang Sheng left Lu Chengzu, who was still covered in bruises, as his servant. This kid was blessed by misfortune, and he was grateful, but he didn't say anything to thank him. This is right for Huang Sheng's temper. Huang Sheng doesn't like people who shout slogans loudly .

Huang Sheng got a free temporary official residence similar to a two-entry courtyard house, and he finally had a place to stand in the Ming Dynasty for the time being.

There are all kinds of daily necessities here. It turned out that a civil servant lived here with a dozen family members and servants. Later, this adult had a way and was transferred away from this place of right and wrong.

Huang Sheng was admiring his welfare house, and was disturbed by a few cries.

It turned out that the Han people who were rescued all left with Lord Mao Yuanyi's servants, but two women were unwilling to go with them, kneeling in Huang Sheng's front yard and weeping.

These two young women have been the target of ridicule by those Han people these days, especially the words of the other two women are even more hurtful.

They even wanted to show off, it was nothing more than how chaste and fierce they were when Jianu wanted to sleep with them, but Jianu didn't succeed.

Huang Sheng's judgment is that God knows whether they have succeeded in resisting. This kind of thing will happen if people see it, and it will not happen if it is not seen.

These little people can say whatever they like, Huang Shengcai is impatient to meddle in their own business.

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 ever since, and wanted to commit suicide after being sneered at.

Only then did Huang Sheng scold those gossiping Han people, telling them not to hurt each other in the future, and they should find a chance to kill Jiannu to ask for an explanation.

Huang Sheng had no intention of discriminating against the two women who were abused by Jiannu, and he cared for and respected them very much.

This is not pretending, but I think in my heart that it is a shame for all men that a woman is insulted by the enemy.

It's really strange that a dignified man can't protect his women and let them become victims. He doesn't feel ashamed, but he has the nerve to humiliate them.

As soon as Huang Sheng appeared, two women kneeled and crawled in front of Huang Sheng. A woman named Qiaozhen, who was about 25 or six years old, cried, "My lord, I beg you to take me in. If you don't want to take me in, you will die." .”

Another woman who was a few years younger was named Laifeng. She said: "This servant is good at washing, cooking, and mending. My lord is surrounded by men, and there is no maidservant to serve me. Please do me a favor and leave this servant behind." .”

It turned out that these two women wanted to leave this adult who was so kind to them, and they would farm here with those Han people who were captured by Jiannu together. They were desperate for their future life. They drown.

Huang Dongshan didn't want to see others cry, besides, these two women were ingenious and handy, and they were busy with sewing and mending for them these days.

He pleaded for the two of them: "My lord, you can keep them. They are also very pitiful. My lord's family really lacks a few women who serve."

Cheng Quangong, a rude soldier, was also moved with compassion, he said: "My lord, please keep the two of them, don't worry about the population being too large to support them, as long as we save one bite, we won't be able to starve them."

It's a pity that this kid can't speak too much, and he was despised by others as soon as he opened his mouth.

Everyone is warm-hearted, expressing sympathy for the two women with every word you say, but the most substantive issue is not touched.

Huang Sheng said: "Whether or not to keep them depends on you and not on me. If you can really be caring and compassionate, they will stay in Huang's family forever."

Everyone expressed their opinions that they must have love and really sympathize with them.

Huang Shengdao: "The two of them were insulted by Jiannu, who is to blame? You, me, and all the men of Ming Dynasty. It is our shame that we cannot protect these weak women like them."

At this time, everyone was silent, especially the servants who were from Liaodong soldiers, they felt ashamed.

Huang Sheng said again: "They have already been hurt. If you live in Huang's house in the future, maybe you will uncover their scars. How can they get a new life?"

At this time, everyone understood Huang Sheng's meaning, and the two women understood Huang Sheng's intention even more. They gritted their teeth desperately, holding back the tears that welled up in their eyes.

At present, the most caring 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 that we will never bring up their old affairs. From now on, we will all be members of the Huang family and relatives."

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, buy wine and meat, cook food, have a good drink tonight to celebrate, someone will help cook and mend clothes in the future."

It's a pity that Huang Sheng couldn't enjoy the welcome banquet organized by his family. He had to attend the banquet at the invitation of Mr. Mao in the evening.

The civil officials are noble, and Mao Yuanyi didn't invite a single military officer, except Huang Sheng, a few of his civil officials.

Everyone is more than six grades higher than Huang Sheng, here Huang Sheng is an ant regardless of age and official position.

Fortunately, Huang Sheng often received leaders in his previous life, and he was very handy in welcoming and sending them off, and he quickly became one with everyone.

Among these people, Huang Sheng found another famous scientist in the late Ming Dynasty——Sun Yuanhua, who is now the head of the sixth-rank Ministry of War, responsible for installing artillery in Ningyuan.

This is a tragic man, and a rare artillery expert.

Huang Sheng intentionally started a conversation with him. Although this Songjiang man had a heavy accent, Huang Sheng didn't seem to be in any way hindering him.

Huang Shengtian has stayed in many places in the south, sea and north. In Shanghai, he was stationed by his unit for two full years.

Huang Sheng did what he liked, and made this unsociable scientist amused with witty remarks, of course he talked about his experience with gunpowder, artillery, and shooting accuracy.

Others, except Mao Yuanyi, didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was putting the cart before the horse and losing the face of literati and officials.

However, Huang Sheng has a great understanding. At this time, the level of hot weapons in the Ming Dynasty does not seem to be behind that of Europe!
The head of the Ming Dynasty's military department is definitely a prophet of this era in his understanding of hot weapons. He even concluded that cold weapons will be replaced by muskets and artillery in the future.

Huang Sheng talked more and more speculatively with Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi, and they began to look at Huang Sheng differently.

In fact, they were different in the Ming Dynasty. Too many adults looked down on them, thinking that they were obscene skills, and it was difficult to be elegant, so they were high-ranking and few.

They are Shangguan, and of course many people under their command will come to flatter them, but in the field of artillery with a relatively high professional level, these two scientists can immediately hear some flattering words.

In fact, flattering is a profound knowledge, and one is a master if one does not miss any marks.Huang Sheng is also flattering, but he is flattering academically with a high IQ.

Take advantage of his knowledge and insight, which is actually much higher than these two Ming scientists.Point them to one or two technical mazes, and modestly tell them that they are completely taken for granted.

The two are skilled, as long as they think it makes sense, no matter whether they take it for granted or not, they will go to verify it in person.

After listening to Huang Sheng's remarks, they had a feeling of awakening the dreamer with one word, and they benefited a lot from communicating with Huang Sheng, and immediately regarded him as a friend who had forgotten the year.

Huang Sheng knew that Sun Yuanhua made many artillery fasteners and accessories on the spot in Ningyuan City, and there was a downflame furnace for steelmaking. Huang Sheng asked Sun Yuanhua to allow him to personally smelt several hundred kilograms of good steel to make the barrel of the gun.

The two scientists agreed immediately. They were experts and knew that the quality of the gun barrel was too important. They also praised Huang Sheng for his insight, and they were able to find the disadvantages of the firecracker right away.

The two also told Huang Sheng with painful expressions that the quality of firecrackers in the Ming Dynasty is not as good as each year, and soldiers dare not use them.

The two of them felt compassionate, mourning their misfortune and angering their indisputable feelings.

At night, when Huang Sheng left the restaurant feeling drunk, he found Huang Mingli, Huang Mingdao, and Huang Dongshan waiting for him at the door.

When they saw their masters, they immediately went up to greet them and stretched out their hands to help them. The aggressive and strange things of the Ming Dynasty were fashion for the weak to be supported.

Huang Sheng couldn't stand these bad habits, so he said to them: "Although I am a literati, I am also a hero who dares to go through life and death. How dignified I am being supported by you, people think I am sick."

Huang Mingli smiled and said: "My lord, it's not Han Guang's nonsense. He said that the master must 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. .”

Huang Sheng was a little dizzy, shook off their hands, and said to them: "Our Huang family won't do this in the future, the more sturdy the Huang family, the better. Why are you all coming out? Has everyone settled down?"

Huang Mingli said: "Returning to the adults, everyone has settled down. They all have to come here to wait for the adults. I didn't let them. A lot of people came here and made a mess. It's not proper. We saw that the adults were helped by others just now. We just follow along, and adults don’t like it, so we will be lazy in the future.”

Huang Sheng talked and laughed with them, and returned to the first nominal home of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this home is not his own freehold property, and if he does not work in Liaodong, he will return it to the government.

The servants and the two maidservants who had just taken in were all standing at the gate of the yard waiting for him. It seemed that the human rights situation in the Ming Dynasty was worrying!The sense of superiority and inferiority has penetrated into the bones of every Ming Dynasty citizen.

Huang Sheng came to the bedroom in the inner courtyard that the servants and maidservants had tidied up for him. It really looked more comfortable with two women tidying up.

As soon as they entered the door, the two maidservants started to get busy. It was not enough for them to wash Huang Sheng's face and make the bed. They also squatted down to wash Huang Sheng's feet.

Huang Sheng quickly and politely asked them not to behave like this, and adults should do their own things.

Unexpectedly, the faces of the two women turned pale with fright, and Qiaozhen asked sadly: "Master, why did the servant make the master feel uncomfortable, the servant will change in the future, the master must not let us serve you."

Huang Sheng was a little dizzy, his body was only 17 years old, at most he was a young master, but now he is a master.It seems that in the future, the decadent feudal bureaucratic life will be difficult to escape, and the only choice is to degenerate and follow the trend.

Huang Sheng is not pretentious at all, it is better to treat it as leisure in the foot bath room.He said to them: "Take two pillows for the master and me to lean on, and then help the master to massage and knead the soles of the feet."

The two women were immediately happy, and Laifeng hurriedly said: "It turns out that the master likes to press the soles of his feet, and the servants will do it. I have done it for my father and mother before."

Huang Sheng looked at the joyful expressions on the faces of the two women when he heard that he let them serve him, and he realized the huge difference between people in this era. They are already his slaves, and they want to make their master happy. What about Rong?
