Is anyone there? Bang bang - is anyone there?" came a slightly old but familiar knock at the door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Who, early in the morning, coming, coming, coming—" Jiang Yu put down the things in his hand and hurried over, only to see a mentally healthy old man standing outside the door. Jiang Yu smiled and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Guo Shu looked at the old man outside the door, frowned, and then walked over with a smile, helping the visiting old man, "Grandpa Lin, why are you here, if there is something, you can send someone to inform me, why do you always come over in person, and don't care about your own body." ”

Although Lin Chen was helped, he didn't dare to really help Guo Shu, just pressed on Guo Shu's hand and said with a greeting: "If I don't come, you don't know when you will come to see you Grandpa Lin, since you are a busy person, then I have to come over, what's the matter, don't you disturb you." ”

"No, no, Grandpa Lin is here, it's too late for me to be happy, where did I bother, Brother Jiang, this is the friend I told you before, Grandpa Lin and my family are world friends, and this time thanks to Grandpa Lin's help, the eldest brother's affairs can go so smoothly." ”

Jiang Yu clapped his hands, "Oh, it turned out to be a benefactor, this is my blindfolded, I didn't recognize it, hey, don't leave at noon today, just stay here for lunch, I'm also well prepared, thank you, come, come, sit, oops, this hasn't been cleaned up yet, you see, I'm really sorry, you sit first, I'll clean up for a while, and then come over immediately, okay?"

As he was talking, Guo Shu saw four people standing outside the door, a simple man in the prime of life, holding a boy who was about ten years old, the boy was hiding behind the man, but he showed a pair of dark eyes, staring at a few people in the room, next to the boy stood a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, but not as restrained as the boy, but his hand kept holding the woman next to her who was hungry and obviously lacking blood, the woman looked like she was recovering from a serious illness, one hand was grabbed by the girl, and the other hand was placed on the girl's shoulder, as if comforting。

Guo Shu pointed to these people and looked at Lin Chen, Lin Chen hurriedly spoke, looking at them and beckoning, "Come here, come, didn't you say that you want a few helpers, these are all countrymen, there are not so many flowers, women are sick, they have spent all their family savings, although they are good, they also owe a bunch of debts, and they just happened to encounter the imperial court to collect taxes and forced labor, and relatives came to collect debts, and the rewards were not rich. ”

"Slavery," Guo Shu frowned, "Didn't I say that it was okay to work for a long time, why did you find me a slave." In all fairness, Guo Shu, as a person who is still a modern thinker in his bones, is very disgusted by the slavery system that has never been broken in ancient times.

"This, actually..."Lin Chen rubbed his hands a little uneasily, "Didn't you say that you should be diligent and reliable, with clean hands and feet, and a slightly brighter brain, and it is not easy to find a long-term worker who is absolutely reliable, but if it is a slave, it will meet the conditions, besides, this is also a clean family that really can't survive, and it can be regarded as giving them a way to live." Seeing that Guo Shu was a little shaken, Lin Chen continued: "Look, if you're not satisfied, I'll change it." ”

Indeed, the servitude of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not attached to the slaves, they were considered the private property of the master, not an independent person. But on the other hand, it's a way to survive. It's just that Guo Shu still can't get used to this naked slave trade.

Jiang Yu looked at the family standing outside the door, but Guo Shu was still frowning, so he led the family into the door, "Sister Shu, what are you still talking about, come and see, I think they can, or stay, this is also a piece of the benefactor's heart." ”

Jiang Yu was very satisfied, Guo Shu didn't want to say anything, so he had to nod, "Brother Jiang, you take a look first, you teach them what to do first, if you think it's good, you stay, if you're satisfied, let them live in the outer courtyard, although it may be a little crowded, but when we leave, it shouldn't be crowded." Guo Shu looked at Lin Chen, "You come in with me." ”

Xiao Hengyan saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just felt that something was wrong. When Guo Shu passed by Xiao Hengyan's side, his lips opened slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Come over too, you have something to say." Lin Chen walked to Xiao Hengyan's side, took the wheelchair, and pushed Xiao Hengyan forward, Xiao Hengyan looked at Guo Shu's back, and wanted to say something, but he still didn't open his mouth after all, and let Lin Chen push himself towards the inner courtyard.
