The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 49
In November of the fourth year of Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong went to Jizhou and Changli in the name of a west tour, and reported that he would enter the court on November [-] to celebrate the Longevity Festival and see the emperor face to face.

When Wei Zhongxian got the news, he feared that his supporters would be "on the side of the Qing emperor". He was terrified, and went to the dormitory of Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, knelt beside the imperial bed and cried bitterly.

The emperor trusted the old eunuch Wei Zhongxian very much, and he was moved to see him crying like this, so he immediately ordered the cabinet to draw up an order.

Sun Chengzong had no choice but to return when he was ordered to return to the customs under the pretext of "leaving the land without purpose, not ancestral law".

Afterwards, the eunuch party used this incident to attack Sun Chengzong for "supporting troops to the palace, obviously rebellious", but Emperor Tianqi was not easy to deceive and ignored it.

Huang Sheng entered Guancheng and came to Lord Sun Chengzong's official office, but was told that Lord Sun had gone to Jizhou, and no one knew when he would come back.

Then I went to my acquaintance Ma Shihu, who went to Jizhou with Ma Shilong leading troops to guard Mr. Sun.

There are no relatives here, and no other acquaintances, so the three had no choice but to come to the post house to stay.

Just after washing his face, Huang Mingli said cheerfully: "My lord, I think that instead of waiting foolishly for Mr. Sun here, it's better to go to He's house. Ms. He's family may be looking forward to it."

What family?It wasn't for Huang Mingli's reminder, Huang Sheng couldn't even remember that his prospective father-in-law was in Shanhaiguan.Huang Sheng deliberately didn't come here because he was afraid of marrying a woman he didn't know at all.

This kid Huang Mingli married two women, and he lived a happy life during this period of time. I think Huang Sheng should have done the marriage earlier.

As soon as he heard that he was coming to Shanhaiguan for business, he thought about going to He's house. When he came, he had already brought Huang Sheng's marriage certificate with him, and he wanted to go to He's house after meeting the Master Supervisor.

Being idle now is also idle, he changed his mind and asked Huang Sheng to go now.

Huang Sheng is a modern person. He is most afraid of a wife falling from the sky. He doesn't know whether he is tall, short, fat or thin, and he may be a disabled person.

He shirked and said: "Ming Li, let's forget about this marriage, I don't know if I recognize it or not."

Huang Mingli said confidently: "Impossible, my lord, you are an official now, and the He family doesn't know about it yet. I'm sure I'm overjoyed to see you."

Han Guang also said: "My lord, who doesn't love a hero like you, the He family has accumulated virtues in their ancestors."

Both of them persuaded Huang Sheng to recognize relatives. Huang Sheng was so entangled by them that he had no choice but to agree to go and have a look, but asked them to keep a low profile and not make it known to everyone. In case of any changes in the He family, there is room for maneuver. .

As long as Huang Sheng agrees to go to the He family, these two boys will agree to any conditions.

Huang Sheng changed into the green shirt of a scholar, and led Huang Mingli and Han Guang, who were dressed in ordinary household clothes, out of the post house. The He family was very famous here, so they immediately found out the address.

Arriving in front of the luxurious He Mansion, Huang Mingli stepped forward to pass on a message. The doorkeeper heard that it was the future son-in-law who came, so he didn't dare to neglect and rushed in to report the news.

After a while, they were introduced into the He Mansion and brought to a small courtyard. The servants of the He Family smiled and said, "Mr. Huang must have come all the way and haven't eaten yet. Let's stay here first, and we'll talk about it after eating."

Immediately, someone brought seven or eight dishes, neither rich nor shabby.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties came, and the servant who accompanied him introduced: "Mr. Huang, this is Uncle He, the steward of the He family. The master is not at home today. We will take you to see him when he comes back."

Uncle He sat down and looked at Huang Sheng carefully and said: "Young Master Huang, you can have a name for this little old man, you can just call him by his name."

Huang Sheng said politely: "Uncle He, you are an elder, how dare a student be presumptuous, I wonder when will I see my uncle?"

Uncle He avoided this topic and started to ask Huang Sheng how he came here. Huang Sheng told the story of his escape, but of course he didn't mention the matter of beheading Jiannu later.

Huang Mingli and Han Guang were quite unhappy in their hearts. The two of them have also experienced ups and downs, and with the strength of concentration, they both endured and remained calm.

Of course, Huang Sheng's two generations could see that the He family was weird, so they didn't take it seriously, and they were still chatting and laughing.

In the back hall of the inner courtyard of the He family, Mr. He Xianhe turned around like an ant on a hot pot, Mrs. He sighed beside him, and the other aunts were chattering and arguing endlessly.

A young woman was crying, she said: "Father, mother and daughter, why is life so hard! I finally settled on a satisfactory marriage and got married in a few days. A Huang Gongzi was killed halfway, what should my daughter do?" good?"

The marriage date agreed between the He family and the Huang family was reached, but the Huang family's life and death were unknown after the fall of Guangning.

The He family believed that the Huang family must have suffered, so they re-married their only daughter this spring.

The in-laws married this time are not bad, they are the Zhang family in Yongping Mansion, the young master Zhang Hongliang is handsome and talented, the only fly in the ointment is that he is a concubine, he is the fourth eldest son, and Zhang's family calls him the fourth son.

He came to live in the He family for a few days in the summer, and the suave and suave fourth son met privately several times with Guilan, the young lady of the He family.

The wedding date is almost set, and the Zhang family is going to marry Miss He at the end of the month.

Master He sighed and said: "Oh! As a father, I didn't know that the Huang family boy was so fateful that he escaped from Jiannu's side. Now that he has a marriage certificate as proof, what should I do if there is a trouble."

Mrs. He complained: "Master, you are really confused. You are in a hurry to get engaged to your daughter again without knowing it clearly. Now that there is one daughter and two husbands, it will not be drowned by spitting stars. If the daughter's reputation is ruined I don't have the face to live anymore, ummmmm..."

Guilan kept crying, she said: "My daughter doesn't care if that Mr. Huang has a marriage certificate, but my daughter only marries the fourth son. Father, can you think of a way to drive him away?"

The He family gave birth to six sons, and this was the only daughter who was doted on like a jewel in the palm of her hand. She usually stayed at home and read some poems and books, and she was accompanied by four maids who served her.

The four maidservants were Mei Xiang, Ju Xiang, He Xiang, and Tao Xiang. At this time, Mei Xiang said: "Miss, you haven't seen that Mr. Huang. Maybe he is also a handsome young man who knows the cold and the hot. His family also has Wanguan family wealth, how can I catch up with it now?"

Ju Xiang said: "Miss, why not do this, the slaves and maids will accompany you to see that Young Master Huang, if you don't like it, you can find a way to let him go, if you like it, you can find a way to go back to the fourth young master's side."

Guilan said angrily: "Damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I am in love with the fourth son, how can I still fall in love with others?"

He Xiang said: "Actually, Miss should marry Mr. Huang. The Huang family has a long-standing engagement with the He family. The Zhang family is a family of officials, so they must be reasonable. No one would have thought that Mr. Huang would escape death. Just explain the matter clearly. should be able to understand."

Guilan said: "Shut up, Hexiang. That Mr. Huang fled back to Shanhaiguan. He only has two servants by his side, and he has nothing. What will he marry me with? Where will he live in the future? What will he live on?"

He Xiang said: "My maidservant has long heard that Mr. Huang is intelligent, and that high school students became lin students early. As long as they study hard for a few more years on the high school list, they will not know. It is not impossible for the He family to make a fortune for your husband and wife for a few years.... "

Guilan interrupted her with a sneer: "He Xiang has a good plan. I have a ready-made official son to marry, but I don't go along with it. I just want to stay at my mother's house with a penniless Mr. Huang to see how I feel. Are you trying to send me to the house?" Push it in a fire pit?"

He Xiang was so frightened that she knelt down, and said: "Miss, the servants have been by Miss's side since they were young, and they are loyal to Miss, but only when the master is in a dilemma, she speaks some reason. It is for the sake of Miss, Miss, please don't misunderstand!"

Mr. He said: "That's enough. You don't need to intervene in the affairs of the head of the house. You can't turn them away even if they come from a long distance. Let them live first. He Xiang and Ju Xiang are the most caring young ladies. Go to Mr. Huang." Just keep an eye on it and don't let outsiders know about it."

At this time, a servant girl came to send a message to the housekeeper, He Keyou, asking when she would see Mr. Huang. Master He was so annoyed that he said: "Let them wait first, just say that the master has gone to the capital, and I don't know when he will return."

The He family's ancestral home was in Liaodong, and later settled in Shanhaiguan. There were ten thousand hectares of fertile land in the pass. Many children in the family served in the Liaodong army.

Food in Liaodong is too expensive, and the He family’s farmland is close to Shanhaiguan, so it is in a unique location. Over the years, it has accumulated countless belongings and is a local tyrant.

All six sons have achieved fame. Of course, only the second son, He Zizai, and the fourth son, He Ziyou, passed the test based on their strength. The others were all donated supervisors.

Master Zhang of Yongping Mansion is willing to marry his family because of the strength of the He family, and they should be well-matched.

The marriage between the He family and the Huang family in Guangning was more than ten years ago. Huang Sheng's father and the master of the He family participated in the hospital examination together.

Later, the He family prospered, while the Huang family went from bad to worse. Master He and his wife loved their only daughter the most, and they were extremely sad to think of marrying her to Guangning.

The situation in Liaodong is getting worse and worse, and the situation in Guangning is worrying. They are all worried that their daughter's life will be difficult in the future.

I have long regretted the marriage we made at the beginning, but this era is very serious about marriage, and any family who dares to regret the marriage for no reason will be cast aside and even get involved in lawsuits, so they have to resign themselves to fate.

Unexpectedly, just before the wedding date, Jiannu launched an attack, the Ming army was defeated and Guangningwei was lost, and too many Han people were killed. He Xian thought that the Huang family must have suffered, otherwise the Huang family would definitely flee to Shanhaiguan to join him.

On the contrary, he felt that his daughter was a blessing in disguise, and this was not regretting the marriage. There were too many situations like this in Liaodong. The war displaced many families.

Mr. He Xian moved around and finally climbed up to an in-law like Mr. Zhengwutai, of course he was very concerned about it. This summer, he saw that handsome young man with a lotus tongue. The old lady was so happy that even her daughter secretly met her The lovers pretended to be confused and let it go.
