Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great Harvest
Boys are slaves at the age of eight, and girls are slaves at the age of nine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But in the eyes of everyone in the Zheng family, the slave is only six or seven years old.
So it seems a bit difficult to get the slave into the state right away and on the right track.
Let alone......
Qin Xin also observed for a few days before discovering that the slave slave never left her sheep named 'Little Tail', and wanted the slave in such a state to learn to take care of people and grow into his most powerful personal servant girl in the future, Qin Xin felt that the slave was more like the one who needed to be taken care of by others.
"Uncle, what should I do?"
The maids wanted to take away the slaves' sheep, but the slaves were holding on to death.
Qin Xin could only chat with the slave alone.
Said:
"Slave, do you want to be a sheep herding girl for the rest of your life?"
Since the slave slave likes sheep so much, Qin Xin can indeed consider letting the slave go to herd sheep, anyway, Zheng Yi also has someone who specializes in herding sheep for the Zheng family, if Qin Xin opens his mouth, Meng Zheng should not disagree, but!
But if you do, then it's a bit of a waste of the slave's cute face.
In fact, the cute appearance of the slave may be praised as a little princess in the future generations, but the slave should also be considerate of Qin Xin, being a servant is already the best resource Qin Xin can give, do you still want him to tell Meng Zheng, or we will recognize the slave as a goddaughter.
Qin Xin definitely wouldn't say it. Because this is not to bring a subordinate to the Zheng family, but a treasure.
But now, in fact, slaves are almost like babies. Where to go with her sheep, stinky, completely disregarding other people's feelings, simply privileged. It's no wonder that the maids complained to Qin Xin, uncle, this little girl is disobedient, what should I do?
Originally, Qin Xin wanted to leave the slaves to the maids and let the slaves learn from the big sisters, but now, there is no play.
……
Faced with the question of whether Qin Xin wanted to be a sheep herding girl for the rest of her life, the slave lowered her head and did not speak.
Qin Xin is the only one she doesn't show a tough attitude. And those who wanted her to separate her from Little Tail are now all seen as bad people by her.
Seeing that the slave didn't speak for a while, well, Qin Xin also gave up.
It is estimated that in this life, the slave really wants to live with this sheep for the rest of his life. In that case...... can only be a sheep herding girl.
After another two days, the slave began to herd sheep with an old man.
Meng Zheng was actually a little distressed about Qin Xin's arrangement, after all, no matter what she said, it was a little girl who was carved in pink, and her husband treated her so cruelly.
Qin Xin spread his hands, saying that he had no way to say: she was holding the sheep all day long, and I couldn't do anything about it. Think about it, can you still work with that sheep in your arms all day? Only sheep herding is the most suitable.
Also, Meng Zheng had to nod at this time.
Then Qin Xin said: "However, she can't let go of sheep for a few years." ”
Meng Zheng asked curiously, "What do you say?" ”
Qin Xin said: "The lifespan of a sheep is only ten years, and when she is seventeen or eighteen years old, the little tail is about to die. ”
Meng Zheng was silent.
Qin Xin said again: "It's just right, ten years, just let her learn things while herding sheep." ”
At that time, Meng Zheng didn't ask Qin Xin what he was learning, and when Meng Zheng knew about it later, he realized that it was a new world.
……
So in the days that followed, many people could see it often.
Qin Xin went out early, and then went to herd sheep together.
However, although it was herding sheep, basically most of the time and things were done by the old man, and the slave sat in front of Qin Xin, performed disciple salutes, and learned all kinds of knowledge from Qin Xin.
First of all, mathematics, if you can't even count, you don't know if there is one less sheep when you herd sheep, and then you will have to be scolded when you go back.
Qin Xin taught slaves a total of three different mathematical expressions, the first being the Great Seal, the second being Chinese Simplified, and the third being Arabic numerals.
Nu Nu didn't know what the point was in learning the numerical expressions of these three different ways of writing, but her biggest advantage was that she wouldn't ask Qin Xin so much why like others.
In addition to counting, in addition, Qin Xin will also tell the slave about the history of this world and the origin and development of this world. Because Qin Xin wants to instill a new worldview in the slaves.
Qin Xin opened the world from ancient times, talked about the current Great Zhou Dynasty, and extended to the future by the way. At last! Qin Xin just wanted to tell the slave that this world is always moving forward. For example, our ancestors drank blood, but in the past few thousand years, slowly, from slash-and-burn cultivation to intensive farming.
Qin Xin is like telling a story to a slave, telling the origin and development of this world. Tell the slaves some of the laws in this world that everyone clearly sees, but don't know yet.
Third, Qin Xin also has to teach etiquette.
Let the slave sit upright, sit upright, know the etiquette and understand the etiquette, and the old man who herds the sheep sees it as if the master in the school teaches the students. I think it's quite unusual.
It's also a process of learning slowly.
In the past, slaves only had to hold their little tails, and they didn't care about other people's feelings, and they made their bodies stink every day. Even the maid who helped her wash her clothes was about to have an opinion.
But after a period of study, although Nunu also cares about her sheep, she knows how to consider the feelings of others and pays more attention to the feelings she gives people.
Probably...... It's because Qin Xin's sentence 'Do unto others what you don't want to be done to yourself' has had an effect.
Time passed, and half a year passed quickly.
In the past six months, everything in the Zheng family has been peaceful.
However, in the past six months, the Zheng family has lost a lot of allies, and people who are very familiar with each other in the past have gradually gained a sense of distance.
In the past, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit Zheng's house, but from time to time it was also full of relatives and friends, but now, since Meng Zheng became the head of the family, Meng Zheng is not a woman who can go around to socialize, and similarly, other people are embarrassed to come over to meet Meng Zheng alone. The only one who still has close contact seems to be Cai Mao's family left, and the relationship with the Zheng family has remained the same.
Qin Xin has also sold a lot of goods one after another in the past six months, and the objects of the transactions are all the merchants of the Qi State.
As the saying goes, once born and twice ripe, Qin Xin could only sell some jade that was already precious to the other party, but later, even cosmetics and skin care products could be sold. And often you can get a relatively reasonable price. And if it is a concealer with remarkable effect, the merchants of Qi Kingdom will bid even more than the precious jade.
However, the merchants of Qi never knew what Qin Xin's name was, and Qin Xin didn't say anything. As for whether the other party has probed Qin Xin's bottom in private, Qin Xin doesn't know, what Qin Xin only knows is that after so many transactions, the relationship between the two has been handled very well, neither too intimate nor too distant.
And in this ordinary day, soon, the rice harvest season ushered in.
The day...... No! It should be said that in the past half a month or month, anyone who passes by Qin Xin's experimental field can't help but take a few more glances at the field. At this time, the fish in the rice field had already been emptied, and all that was left was an ear of golden yellow rice with full grains.
Obviously, it was a bumper harvest.
