In China, those in power prefer to use acquaintances, and after becoming prominent, they will also choose to pull over their clan members.
This is the human society, and as long as you are involved in the situation, it is impossible to avoid it.
Huang didn't even think about avoiding it. As long as he didn't violate his principles, nothing would be a problem.
A bonfire banquet, everyone was happy.
The next day.
Huang bought an oxcart and Fu drove it himself, taking Xia, Heijiu and Heya with him. On the way, Heya wanted to ride with him, but Huang refused.
The world is in chaos, with horse thieves, rogues, and bandits running rampant. Huang has to beware of this. He rides alone with the Great Qin Dragon Bird in his hand, which can guarantee the strongest combat power.
At this moment, Huang Du regretted a little. He should have brought a group of people here, so that even if something unexpected happened, he could counterattack in time.
The group set out from Lintao, walked along the official road, and returned to Yueyang. It was already the end of July, and Wei Yang and others had already visited Qin in January.
The ox cart drove into the school yard and finally stopped at the horse racing yard in front of the mansion. Huang handed the horse to the driver and then walked into the mansion with his family.
"We have met the master of the house, we have met the mistress..." The maid came over and saluted, and Master Zi and others also came to salute one by one.
Seeing the embarrassment on Fu's face, Huang waved his hand and said, "Everyone is busy with his own business. We are all in the house. We will meet often in the future."
"I'll take Ah Weng and Grandma to settle down first..."
Driver Zi and others smiled and excused themselves. Naturally, they saw the embarrassment on Fu's face and the uneasiness of Xia and others.
They come from clans, especially side branches and vassals, which makes them very good at observing words and emotions and understanding the worldly affairs.
Hongyi is the housekeeper of the mansion. At this moment, she can't move forward or retreat. It is her duty to settle the family's needs.
Huang was originally named Hongyi, but later it was changed to Yi because it was too rustic.
The person in charge of the study is called Green Tea, the person who cleans the dormitory is called Bai Lian, and the person who specializes in shopping is named Jasmine.
Huang took his parents, siblings, and walked into the inner stone gate, pointed to the room in the backyard, and said: "Aweng, Auntie, this mansion has three entrances. The first entrance is for handling affairs."
"The east wing houses the retainers, the west wing houses the maids and the cook. As for the second room, I currently live alone."
"The third entrance is empty. Aweng, Auntie, Xiaojiu, and Xiaoya live here. There are people who specially prepare, clean and tidy up the food in the house, and there are also dedicated maids in charge."
…
Hei Jiu and He Ya, who were out-of-temperate, looked surprised. They were shocked inexplicably along the way. They had never seen such a big house before.
Fu Yuxia also had a look of shock on his face. They only knew that Huang had become a Qin official and had become famous in Yueyang. They had never imagined that he would be so powerful.
Xia was just a country woman with little knowledge, but Fu was different. A woman who could teach her son how to read, even the simplest, was enough to show that Fu had an extraordinary vision and was definitely not a country farmer.
Fu came all the way and observed very carefully. Outside the mansion, there was an empty space, and a cavalry was stationed to protect the mansion.
In the mansion, there were maids, cooks, and retainers, which made Fu realize that the Qin officials Huang mentioned were by no means simple Qin officials.
Seeing that his parents and others were still in shock, Huang couldn't help but smile and said to Hongyi, "Let's take a look and clean it up. If you need anything, tell Jasmine to go to the East Market to buy it."
"Make some new clothes for each person."
"Promise." Hongyi agreed.
"Aweng, you and I have traveled all the way and are tired of thinking about it. You guys need to rest for a while while I go deal with the matters you are stuck in."
After Huang finished speaking, he was still a little worried and warned again: "If you have any needs, just ask Hong Yi to do it, or you can come directly to me."
At this time, Fu Ye came back to his senses and nodded to Huang: "You go and do your business. Your wife and I are here, so you don't have to worry."
"Um."
Returning to the front yard, Huang also breathed a sigh of relief. Fu and others had been living in Maditan, and this was the first time they saw Yueyang. Seeing such a large mansion, it was natural to feel as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
I believe you will get used to it in a few days.
"Zi Che, where is the school room in Yueyang City?" Huang took a sip of tea and said to Master Zi Che beside him.
"Master, there is no school room in Yueyang City. The clan teaches its own knowledge, and ordinary people cannot enter." Master Ziche shook his head.
He met Hei Jiu and He Ya, and knew clearly that Huang's inquiry about this matter must be for the two of them. However, the literary style of Qin State was not strong, and there was no private school.
Unlike Qilu, private education has become a common practice.
"Tomorrow, you take Hei Jiu and He Ya and let them learn to read along with the soldiers. I will figure out the rest."
After thinking about it, Huang decided to let Heijiu and Heijiu learn to read first. Now Heijiu and Heya are not illiterate, but their knowledge of words is limited.
No matter what you learn, there is nothing wrong with learning the words first.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Master Ziche raised his head and said, "Master, do you want to leave your martial arts training to them?"
"There is no need to practice for the time being. We will wait until they are familiar with the life in Yueyang and get healthy." Huang shook his head and asked Zi Cheshi, "Did anything happen in the court while I was away?"
"It's not a big deal." Master Ziche looked solemnly, and said word by word to Huang: "But it has become obvious that the senior doctor and others have different political opinions from the emperor, and the struggle between them has completely begun."
"The voices supporting the General's succession to the throne have become stronger than ever and have formed a trend..."
"The general is currently in charge of the military, and everyone in the government and the public is a little restless..."
"Haha, if Young Master Qian wants to be the king, you will never be able to succeed him. It's just a rumor spread by these old clans."
An order seeking talents shocked all the countries in Shandong, and countless scholars rushed to join Qin. With such a huge momentum, how could it not cause turmoil in Qin.
After taking a sip of tea, Huang said with a smile: "Your Majesty issued an order to seek talents, established a national humiliation carved on stone, and the will of reform is as hard as iron."
"The Qin State's reform will definitely harm the interests of the old clan. At this time, it would be weird for them to remain silent."
"The head of the family, Fushui Fang has received news that the Mo family, one of the hundreds of schools of thought, has secretly entered Yueyang recently, and a woman who is familiar with the king, Fushui Fang suspects that she is a descendant of the Mo family."
Yang came quickly and reported to Huang: "It's just that this man's eldest father is a descendant of the Baili family. He is related to Wei Yang, the internal history, and the emperor."
"..."
Hearing this, Huang frowned slightly. He knew the last sentence that Yang did not say: Huang was also related to Baili Old Man, at least they knew each other.
In this era, various schools of thought were restless and each had their own political opinions to spread. In particular, the Mohist family had the Rangers, a group of assassins.
"The Mo family is not a law-abiding master. Let the people in Fushui House keep a close eye on them. Don't alert them yet, but don't let them out of our sight."
