Ye Xipo smiled and said, "I once spared you, or your legs would have been broken that day." ”

Guo Ergou said respectfully: "Cao Gongzi spared us, but we hated Luo Guan and Luo Xiongchang, and we had no way to survive when we came to the town, so if we think about it, as long as we come to Cao Gongzi to take the blame." ”

Ye Xipo smiled, too lazy to pay attention to the bullshit between them and Steward Luo, and asked, "Guo Ergou, have you ever read?" Who taught you to be guilty? ”

Guo Ergou hurriedly said: "Back to Cao Gongzi's words, where has the little one ever read a book, and the guilt of Jing is taught by others." ”

"Who is that man, and has he ever read?"

Guo Ergou was a little puzzled, but he still didn't think about it: "Back to Cao Gongzi, that person's name is Jiang Xiaomeng, he is from Chang'an, and he has indeed read books. ”

Ye Xipo secretly rejoiced: "Chang'an people, how did you get to Lingnan?" ”

"That's right, this Jiang Xiaomeng was originally an arithmetic student of the Guozi School of Arithmetic, but he was not a child of a noble official and eunuch, but an authentic poor student, only because he was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he was especially good at mental arithmetic.

His aunt sells groceries in the West Market, and Jiang Xiaomeng has never needed to calculate the accounts at a young age, and he can give accurate answers with only mental arithmetic, so he is called a prodigy, and was later elected by Chang'an County to enter the Guozi School of Mathematics. ”

Ye Xipo was overjoyed and asked, "What about later?" ”

Later, it was also Jiang Meng's fate, when he was seventeen years old, Jiang Xiaomeng was about to graduate from the Academy of Mathematics and was awarded a position by the imperial court to become an official. At this time, Jiang Meng met a beautiful maid, and he fell in love with it at a glance, and vowed to buy it as a concubine, and he didn't even marry his wife, he only loved her in this life, and the beautiful maid also cursed that he would not marry. ”

Ye Xipo sighed: "I didn't expect this Jiang Xiaomeng to be an infatuated species. ”

The Tang Dynasty's good and cheap system was extremely strict, Jiang Xiaomeng was a good person, but the beautiful maid was a cheap person, and the good and the cheap were not allowed to marry, even if Jiang Xiaomeng bought her and let her be a good person, she couldn't let her be a concubine at most.

Jiang Xiaomeng is willing not to marry his wife and only stay with her for the sake of his beloved woman not being wronged; And he is about to become an official, so he will definitely be talked about and ridiculed, for men in the Tang Dynasty, this Jiang Xiaomeng is almost an out-of-print good man.

Guo Ergou said: "Who said no, as soon as he said this, the neighbors talked about it at once, and his aunt was the first to stand up against it, refusing to come up with the money, Jiang Xiaomeng couldn't, so he had to beg the tooth man to give him three days to raise money."

But there is such an inch, just on the third day, when Jiang Xiaomeng raised the money, a nobleman knew about this matter, and was very curious about how beautiful this woman was, and he actually fell in love with it at first sight.

At this time, Jiang Xiaomeng had bought the woman, but she hadn't had time to give her a good look, so her identity was still a maid. The noble man wanted to ask Jiang Xiaomeng to buy her, Jiang Xiaomeng naturally didn't sell it, and the noble man said double the money and gave Jiang Xiaomeng a beautiful maid, but Jiang Xiaomeng still refused.

The noble man felt that he had lost face, so he directly robbed the maid and the deed of sale, and beat Jiang Meng, Jiang Meng's aunt was also seriously injured in order to protect her son, and died within two days. ”

The Tang Dynasty has a strict hierarchy, and the positions of wives, concubines, tongfang, maidservants, housekeepers, and maids are strictly distinguished, and the woman can only be a housekeeper and a maid if she is not good, and her identity is a slave in the final analysis.

In the Tang Dynasty, the wealthy eunuchs and nobles had a habit of supporting their families, not only for their own hardships, but also for entertainment and serving guests, and these people also liked to give each other maids and gifts, and the giver showed that he was bold and generous, and the recipient felt that he was respected and had face.

Speaking of which, it is to treat the maidservant as an object that can be given away, but Jiang Xiaomeng regards the woman as the most beloved person, so the contradiction arises.

Ye Xipo was silent, he remembered his girlfriend in his previous life, he and this Jiang Xiaomeng are really a little sympathetic, it seems that ancient and modern times are the same, without money and power, even his own woman can't keep it.

Ye Xipo said: "That noble person snatched people away and beat them to death, why don't you give up?" Banished Jiang Xiaomeng again? ”

Guo Ergou continued: "Originally, the matter was also settled, who would have thought that the maid would jump off the building and die, the noble man would be angry at Jiang Xiaomeng, and sent someone to Chang'an County, saying that Jiang Xiaomeng was going to marry a servant girl who was subordinate to the lowly as his wife, and exiled Jiang Xiaomeng to Lingnan for two years of hard labor.

Two years ago, Jiang Xiaomeng's hard labor expired, but Chang'an no longer had relatives, he didn't even have entanglement, and he couldn't go back thousands of miles, so he settled down here, and made a living by farming and settling accounts and writing letters to people. ”

Ye Xipo was both angry and happy, angry about Jiang Meng's experience and the injustice of the world; The good thing is that Jiang Xiaomeng is almost a talent given to him by God, and in general, he is still very happy.

"Cao Gongzi ......"

Ye Xipo came back to his senses, looked at Guo Ergou and Erlaizi, who were still kneeling on the ground with bare backs, and said, "Get up, since you came to me, I can give you a way to live." ”

Guo Ergou and the two hurriedly got up, overjoyed and said good things, Ye Xipo paused, and said: "You used to be a gangster, and I don't want to care about bullying the weak and blackmailing me openly, but I won't be allowed to do this in the future." ”

Guo Ergou lowered his head in silence, not knowing what else he could do if he was not a gangster.

Ye Xipo continued: "I will find you a new errand, and if you do it well, it will not only be your way of life, but also allow you to live a dignified life, and your income will be high." ”

Guo Ergou raised his head, and his eyes lit up: "Really? What errand? ”

"But if you don't do well, or if you're disobedient, then I don't need to raise a few waste and disobedient people, and I won't bother to care about your life or death." Ye Xipo's face sank, and his voice became stern.

"Cao Gongzi, you say, we promise to do a good job and ensure obedience." Guo Ergou and Er Laizi were busy guaranteeing tickets.

"Well, a lot of slang people from the mountains come down to buy grilled fish fillets and shallots, but they don't have the money to buy them. I want you to open a store, collect mountain goods, and then sort them out and classify them and sell them in Guangzhou. ”

"What does the Lord receive?"

"Leather goods and medicinal materials, as well as fungi, hairy fungus, good wood, etc., are all collected."

"It's no problem to collect mountain goods, but when we take them to Guangzhou to sell, we don't have a household, and we don't have a place."

The household is the ID card, the pass is the pass, after the checkpoint, you must have a pass to enter the city.

Ye Xipo said: "It's no problem, I'll let Feng Yuanjun do it for you, as long as you do things loyally, I will arrange everything for you, and I will also take care of it for you." ”

Guo Ergou was overjoyed, and immediately listened to Ye Xi's ramp.
