Yipin Tianxia

When Nianfu came back, in addition to two large iron stoves, there were also a few new faces in the house.

The one who bears the brunt, surnamed Zhuang Mingjin, is the grandson of Zhuang Wenyuan, the most famous imperial censor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Doctor Yushi is a third-rank official, an absolute senior official, and his grandson is naturally a genuine third-generation official.However, the fate of the third generation of officials is really sad. Compared with Ouyang Kang, it is even worse.

It has to start with his grandfather.

Zhuang Wenyuan was a well-known upright official. Before the death of the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, this censor had repeatedly offended Yan Zhizhi, and even snatched the gourd stick used by the eunuch as a guard of honor under the emperor's nose. The fearless deeds of treacherous ministers.But because of his stern, selfless, righteous and outspoken words, even if the emperor was so angry, he still cared about his reputation and couldn't kill him.

But when the current emperor approached the city and forced his way into the palace wall, only this Zhuang Yushi bravely stood up and scolded Gao Xian against countless blades.

Just to add a little bit, Gao Xian was originally an old minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so to speak, he was still a relative of the emperor.As for Zhuang Wenyuan, in addition to being a full-time censor, he also taught several students part-time.Because of his erudition and talent, many princes and princes were relatives. For example, when Emperor Gao Xian was young, he had cast himself under Zhuang Wenyuan's school and received his teachings.So when Zhuang Wenyuan scolded Gao Xian, he scolded Gao Xian with righteousness and confidence.

Then, the mountains and rivers turned red.

The old and new dynasties changed, and all of them were stained with blood.No matter how much Gao Xian respected his former mentor, he couldn't be polite to the stubborn Zhuang Yushi.So when he knelt there in tears and was scolded.That sensible guy sealed Mr. Zhuang's throat with one arrow.

Then, Zhuang Wenyuan's wife and children were all executed.But the grandchildren did not kill them all, and those who were underage were confiscated into Shengpingfang and served as official servants, and they would never be able to stand up again.

In doing so, some people scolded Gao Xian for being ruthless, deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors.There are also people who praise the new emperor for his kindness, because Zhuang Wenyuan's great rebellion will not destroy the nine clans.It is really kind to not send the survivors into exile for three thousand miles.

Anyway, justice is in the hearts of the people, and the merits and demerits of thousands of years can only be judged by others.And if the Zhuang family entered Shengpingfang, what good treatment can they get?

Ordinary servants are easy to buy and sell, and young and beautiful girls don't have to worry about their way out, and those who are older.But the middle-aged and elderly people who have a skill gradually have a place to go, plus those who died of illness in prison, and those who couldn't think of committing suicide, after five or six years, a large family with hundreds of people was dismantled, separated from each other. up.

Only Zhuang Jin stayed.

Every day at dawn, he was taken to the tooth market.People pick and choose like animals, and wait until dark to return to Shengpingfang.Drink cold water, eat a bowl of sour rice, listen to countless sarcastic remarks, and suffer countless tortures.Don't look at him looking 27 or 21 at the moment, in fact, he is [-] years old, and he was only [-] when the accident happened, so old.It's all frustrating for life.

I can't help but sigh after hearing the blessing, the son of the third-rank official.Now he is a slave who is lower than himself.

Official slaves are no better than private slaves. Private slaves have a contract of sale and the possibility of returning their freedom with the grace of the master.If the official slave wants to be free, he must meet the court's amnesty.

However, the bankers are an exception.

Because Zhuang Wenyuan was scolding Gao Xian's rebellious officials for usurping the country, if he pardoned his children and grandchildren, wouldn't it tell the world that it's okay for Zhuang Wenyuan to scold like that, and you can follow suit?

Therefore, in Zhuang Jin's whole life, it is impossible to wait for the day of pardon.Hmm... If the Great Liang Dynasty perishes before him, then it won't be a problem.However, the chance of this kind of chance is really small, and it is probably more difficult than winning the lottery, so Zhuang Jin can only find a good customer and be an honest house slave for the rest of his life.

Right now, he has his eyes on Ouyang Kang.

When Ouyang Kang talked about him behind his back, he also beamed with joy.This person is really a talent, and he can see several problems in just one glance, and all of them hit the point.

First of all, he saw that Ouyang Kang was a foreigner living alone in this dilapidated house, but he was served by servants from the capital, so he guessed that Ouyang Kang had a family in the capital, but for some inconvenient reasons, he had to move here alone.

Secondly, servants from the Zhenyuan Hou's mansion came forward to buy servants and sent them here, and selected some servants who understand economics, needlework and etiquette, which proves that Ouyang Kang is popular and has a certain potential for appreciation, but the equipment around him is poor. There is an urgent need to employ people, so he made such a bold gamble first.

However, it was seen that they bought this dilapidated house and suffered a lot out of ten. Young Master Ouyang refused to mention it. He only focused on how wise and powerful he was, how he pretended to be Zhuang Jin's prototype, and was determined to be sincere. Return to obedience.

Ouyang Kang was quite proud of this festival, but Nianfu was rather displeased, "It's just the time when people are unlucky, and you still make trouble like this, is it very honorable?"

Seeing the whites of her eyes rolled up, Ouyang Kang hurriedly defended, "He's not stupid. If I'm such a villain, would he obey me? We are all unlucky now, so he can only work hard with us and help this family. The more you pass, the better, there is only a glimmer of hope to find your relatives. I refuse to promise him, but I just don't want to give him an illusory hope. Where is the cruelty?"

Nianfu sounded reasonable, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then why don't you just recommend him to Guan Yaozu? That way people will be much better at finding someone than us."

"You are wrong." Ouyang Kang, who often experiences brainstorming, is much clearer than Nian Fu, an outsider, so he patiently explained to her.

Because Zhuang Wenyuan's death was too violent, ordinary officials and officials would not and would not dare to touch the Zhuang family's side, and most of the people who were willing to buy the Zhuang family were merchants or human traffickers traveling from south to north.Otherwise, Zhuang Jin wouldn't have stayed in Shengpingfang for six years.

However, Zhuang Jin was able to stay there for six years without dying or being maimed, and he was not sold to a bad place. This also shows from another aspect that he is still quite capable.

Hearing this truth, Nianfu's sympathy was greatly reduced, and he became a little worried, "Then he stayed in that kind of place for so long, will he be psychologically distorted or something? Is it dangerous for us to keep him?"

Ouyang Kang smiled again, "Don't worry, he's coming to our house right now, he's a thousand times better than the official slaves. Besides, he has to rely on us if he wants to find his younger siblings. Compared with those high-ranking and powerful people, surrounded by A nobleman with countless house slaves, in fact, it would be better to follow us as a poor and empty-headed man. Therefore, even if he has any bad intentions, he will never dare to use them on us. He must only wish for our family's well-being and never want to see our family. Unlucky. He grew up in the capital since he was a child, and although he has been imprisoned for five years, he is very familiar with this place, and we can save a lot of detours by using him."

Nianfu was finally relieved, but asked again, "Then where are his siblings? Any clues?"

Zhuang Jin had inquired about this before, but all he knew was that his younger sister was bought for a master Chen from the south, and his younger brother was taken away by a Hu merchant from the north.One south and one north, the world is so big, where can I find it?

He shook his head when he read the blessing, afraid that she would think of his father and feel nostalgic about his life experience, so Ouyang Kang hurriedly changed the topic, "Did you know that our family now has its own business?"

What merchant?Recitation of blessings was inexplicable.

Ouyang Kang told her with a smile that many merchants in the capital defected to the officials and became nominal house slaves. In fact, they were still doing his small business. They just donated some ritual things and helped with some work on time throughout the year in order to win their masters. a defense of .

Oh, it suddenly dawned on me when I recited blessings, and then I was pleasantly surprised, so I also have a day to be an umbrella?But Ouyang Kang is not an official, how can he protect people?

The old God Ouyang Kang refused to explain, and just told Nianfu not to worry so much, "I am responsible for these things. But the two new girls from outside, I think they are pretty smart, so I will put them in your room to serve Come on, change your name."

The two girls took a photo when they came back from reading blessings, and they were both good-looking, with beautiful features, but she just didn't understand, "Such a pretty girl, don't you young masters like to put red sleeves in the house to add fragrance? What do you do for me?"

That's the way you can't stay!Ouyang Kang took a look at the silly elder sister who didn't understand the style, but said, "Didn't I want you to be addicted to the young lady? Those two girls, one used to be a lady from a fifth-rank official family, and the other was from a sixth-rank family. Do you have any questions?" Are they happy to serve you?"

In this way, will it be a blessing?Nianfu was a little apprehensive, "Forget it, you should take it back." Well, she was afraid that his quality would be too high, so she would compare herself.

But young master Ouyang insisted on pushing them to her with evil intentions, "You must accept these two people, otherwise Yaozu will feel uneasy."

What does this have to do with that monkey?Ouyang Kang told her, "Brother Guan wants to ask for your chicken feet."

"Pull it down!" Nianfu flatly refused, she was tired of eating chicken recently, and she didn't even want to smell the smell of chicken, "I'll give him the recipe and let him do it himself."

Seeing her small expression with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, Young Master Ouyang suddenly wanted to laugh, and wanted to go forward and rub it twice, but with great difficulty, he restrained his facial expression, and said a word sincerely, "Okay."

Guan Yaozu brought home too few chicken feet, and the whole family didn't eat well.The result of not eating well is the result of idle thoughts, especially Guan Houye. After bragging several times in front of his colleagues, everyone booed and wanted to taste his chicken feet.Guan Yaozu had no choice but to ask Brother Ouyang to ask for Nianfu, and offered a series of preferential conditions.

But Ouyang Kang could accept those preferential terms with a smile, but he didn't plan to give chicken feet.His opinion is the same as that of Nianfu, and he directly gives it to Fangzi.

Ouyang Kang knew very well that the small favors between him and Guan Yaozu could only leave a good impression at most, and if he really wanted to make friends with people, he had to spend a lot of money.

Although Zhenyuan Hou is a new rich man, he doesn't have any famous family dishes.After contacting Wang Can, a son of the family, Ouyang Kang deeply realized that a good dish can sometimes become an important bargaining chip for a family's reputation.It is not unreasonable for three generations to watch food.So, how can it be decent to give a pot of chicken feet as a gift?

However, there is no need to explain this kind of matter to Nianfu too carefully. It's not that Ouyang Kang wants to hide it on purpose, but he instinctively feels that this kind of worrying and troublesome thing that makes his intestines knotted should be done by himself.As for his family's chanting, just cook a few dishes and think of something simple and happy.

Since chanting blessings is so generous, let's follow the old rules, pick up a pen and ink, listen to her, and write. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
