Chapter 16: The Maiden

Chapter 16 The Maiden

PS: I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival.

Because of the illness of the eldest grandson, this Aunt Zhang officially put the matter of buying a maid on the agenda.

When Zhang Zhong and Wang Tietan took over Sun Tang, Fu Bo and Aunt Zhang had already gone to Xishi Yahang to find human traffickers.

Human traffickers have been around since ancient times.

At all times, population is one of the important components of the productive forces, and population policy is also formulated by the state on a priority basis according to the actual situation.

As the saying goes, if there is no sale, there is no killing, because if someone needs to buy, there must be someone to sell.

As for ethics, these things are of little value in the eyes of businessmen.

The human trafficker tooth shop was set up in the West Market.

As the only trading places in Chang'an City, the East Market and the West Market are basically where goods from all over the world can be bought, and there is no difference in the positioning of these two places.

It's just a slight difference depending on the location.

Dongshi is located on the east side of Suzaku Street, so it is called Dongshi, under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, because most of the powerful live here, it is located in Dongshi and a large central business district, with high-end business in the majority.

On the contrary, the West Market is mostly made up of peddlers.

At this time, in order to prevent vicious competition, the chamber of commerce has already appeared the prototype of the industry association: tooth industry.

Of course, if you don't make a transaction through the tooth shop, the tooth shop will generally not deal with the buyer, which will make people angry, but they will deal with the seller.

Fu Bo and Aunt Zhang walked in the tooth shop specializing in human trafficking.

Sturdy men and beautiful women are the most popular, while children are much less expensive for both men and women.

No matter what time it was in ancient times, there were people who couldn't survive.

This has nothing to do with the social system, but depends on the unequal distribution of the means of production.

"Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road" describes such a state.

There are many reasons for this, there are environmental factors, but more often it is personal.

Fu Bo and Aunt Zhang fell in love with two maids, and as for the family, they don't need it for the time being, mainly because the house is not enough to live in.

got the contract from Yaxing, and these six people were really born as Changsun Tang's people, and died as Changsun Tang's ghosts.

Fu Bo and Aunt Zhang arrived in the West Market early in the morning, because the house of the reward was in Chang'an County, it was not far from the West Market.

So when the eldest grandson returned home, there were seven or eight people lined up behind the gate, bowing and saluting.

"Welcome home, young master." This was rehearsed in advance by Fauber.

As a former Sui nobleman, the grandfather's family of the eldest grandson is still relatively beautiful. However, due to the problem of foundation, like the monsters in "Journey to the West", those with backgrounds have stayed, such as Xiao Yu, Li Gang, Yu Shinan and others, while those without backgrounds, such as the grandfather of the eldest grandson, were clicked.

It's because this Fu Bo is a little plausible about these aspects of etiquette, and it is barely okay to treat people and customers, but this stall at home has made it impossible to draw tigers into anti-dogs, and it is a bit nondescript.

This shout frightened Changsun Tang to think that he had gone to the wrong door, if he hadn't seen Fu Bo and Aunt Zhang, he might have turned around and left.

The eldest grandson was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.

However, there is still a ritual for entering the door.

Crossing the threshold is a burning red brazier, and stepping over the brazier is like dispelling bad luck.

Sometimes we feel that these ceremonies have no meaning at all, but we cannot refuse these good intentions.

The eldest grandson entered the door and stepped over the brazier, what he needed was to bathe, which was similar to the meaning of crossing the brazier.

"Young master, these are the newly bought maids and a few servants hired today." As the head of the family, the eldest grandson still has a high status in this family, but these things must be reported to him before there is no hostess.

"Oh, I know, you and Aunt Zhang can just make up their minds about these things." The people who care about Changsun Tang in the world are undoubtedly these two people, nominally servants, but Changsun Tang basically treats the two with the attitude of a family.

"Tell me what your name is?" At this time, the eldest grandson could take a closer look at the new members of these families.

"My name is Xiaocui." A crisp voice replied.

"My name is Xiaolan." The other followed suit.

Dentistry is not only an intermediary and management agency, but also responsible for basic training. Maids and slaves sold by the tooth shop generally represent a certification of quality and price.

The eldest grandson didn't plan to ask them about the situation in their families, in this era when there was no shortage of food, there were generally two situations when they were sold by the family, one was that there were sick people in the family, and the other was patriarchy.

Home may be a sad place for them.

"Oh, I guess I just came over today, Aunt Zhang took them around and arranged for them." He didn't have the heart to estimate the thoughts of these two girls who were younger than himself.

The other four servants were free, and he didn't bother too much.

No matter when, there should still be rules, this is a fact that Changsun Tang understood very early when he came to this era, Confucius said that the world is governed by etiquette, and this etiquette is another layer of rules to put it bluntly.

The division of labor between these two maids is clear, the one who is more courageous, and some of them are called Xiaocui who are out of the category of baby fat, which is more in line with the aesthetic level of the early Tang Dynasty, so the eldest grandson is tragic.

Because this girl's division of labor is to be in charge of the study.

Everyone else is red-sleeved, why am I not, the eldest grandson shouted in his heart.

Although the maid belongs to the owner's personal property at this time, theoretically she can do anything as long as she doesn't die, the problem is that as a thirty or forty-year-old monster, the eldest grandson really can't make this tooth.

So, you can only watch.

What's worse is that when she first entered the door, when the eldest grandson was bathing according to the rules, Xiaolan stood there prettyly, and the eldest grandson took a lot of effort to drive her out.

At this time, the eldest grandson sat upright in the study, and Xiaocui stood silently on the side to be responsible for grinding ink.

The eldest grandson spread out a piece of paper, although it has been seven or eight years, and the handwriting is quite disciplined, but it is still a little uncomfortable, and some things that need to be seen by themselves are basically recorded with a quill pen.

However, there is also a problem, that is, China's papermaking is basically paper-making, and the paper is relatively thin, and it is easy to hang up the paper if you write with a hard pen.

Thinking of paper, Changsun Tang thought of his failed papermaking, and I don't know if the small village in the Qinling Mountains was successful.

Changsun Tang's thoughts drifted into the distance unconsciously, what was he going to do next?

Half a step ahead is called fashion, and one step ahead is crazy, but what about the years that are more than 1,300 years ahead?

In this way, no matter what, he will shine as brightly as a candle in the dark night.

Only by raising them to be similar to yourself can you make yourself look normal.

So Changsun Tang is ready to start his own talent training program.
