Standing at the gate leading to the second courtyard, Zheng Peipei, Luo Liu's and Luo Chunxi exchanged a few words, and then continued to walk towards the courtyard.

The reaction of Luo Liu's mother and daughter who followed her was like another time and space novel, the first time Grandma Liu in "Dream of Red Mansions" entered the Grand View Garden.

According to the modern language description of another time and space, it is the capital of the turtle.

The first yard is still nothing, and it still looks very ordinary.

However, when you enter the second gate, that is, when you come to the second courtyard, everything becomes different.

As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a large pond.

In the middle of the pond, there is also a small octagonal pavilion. The courtyard is surrounded by rows of large red pillars, and a cloister has been built around the entire perimeter.

Looking up, on the ceiling of the cloister, there are also oil paintings symbolizing auspiciousness.

On the surface of the pond, there are floating lotus leaves, and carp swim leisurely in the clear water.

Even, in the pond, there is a small rockery.

In the cloister, within a distance, stood a dark-skinned black maid dressed in an early eighteenth-century European tutu.

After they saw Zheng Peipei, they all stood in place and saluted her.

The small pond in this yard alone will require a lot of silver to build.

However, there is more to this courtyard than just a small pond and an octagonal pavilion.

There are also three large rooms in three directions.

All three rooms are opened up and have direct access to the third courtyard, as well as the small courtyards on the left and right sides.

Although she hadn't gone in yet, Luo Liu took a rough look outside and found that it was full of new and smooth home decorations, even more beautiful and exquisite than the home decorations of the landlord's house she had seen before.

Come to think of it, this room on the front is used to entertain guests.

And the rooms on the left and right, if you look at their layout, you can guess. It should be the lady's study and a place to drink tea.

Although Luo Liu is a farmer, he has also seen the landlord's family in the village.

Therefore, it cannot be said that she has no insight at all.

Of course, her little insight is too far behind the Chinese women of the Song Empire.

The gap is not something that can be viewed normally at all.

"Master, it's not early, do you need dinner?"

Just as Luo Liu and her daughter Luo Chunxi were looking at the surrounding environment like turtles. A black maid walked over with her head down, stood still about a meter away from Zheng Peipei, and then asked her in a strange tone.

Zheng Peipei nodded: "Well, it's really not early now, let someone prepare dinner." By the way, prepare hot water, and after dinner, I want to take a hot shower. “

Although this is an evil old society, it is necessary to complain in many places.

However, now that we have come to this era. Then you have to get used to something here.

Therefore, Zheng Peipei, as a member of the military group, has no aversion to the use of slaves.

Besides, although Zheng Peipei is a girl who has just turned eighteen. But as a member of the imperial military group, she actually has a little bit of Chinese chauvinism in her bones.

As I said, these black women were trafficked to the Americas, and I don't know how lucky they were to meet a master like her.

At least. Although he will not give them a good face, he will not make them hungry.

Three meals a day, there must be one meal that is a meat dish.

The rice is still eaten casually open.

Such food conditions. Compared to some European and Indian farmers on the East Coast, it is very strong.

Of course, the slaves in the hands of the Chinese in the empire basically lived well.

At the same time, I won't be beaten at every turn because of some small things.

For example, those wealthy people in Europe or Arabia settled here in the Song Empire and also bought a lot of land for development.

The slaves these people bought were really not human beings.

Beating and scolding is commonplace, and if you don't get beaten one day, it's all new.

The master beats you when he is happy, and beats you when he is unhappy.

In short, you just can't get better.

According to those people's ideas, these slaves were bought as little as livestock.

It's even worse than livestock.

The Song Empire did not refuse to accept those wealthy people in Europe or the Arab world.

It's very easy to immigrate.

Buying land is also not that difficult.

Anyway, for the Empire, these people can't afford to make any big waves at all.

As long as it is controlled, it is okay to prevent them from entering the functional departments of the government.

If you want to enjoy life, then come to the Song Empire in the Americas.

As long as you have money, you can definitely live comfortably here.

After all, the Song Empire has many unique commodities in the world because of the plug-in.

For those wealthy people who like to enjoy, the attraction here in the Americas is really great.

At the same time, they came to the Americas to buy land, and they themselves bought a large number of black slaves, so that they could reclaim the land without going through the imperial government, which saved a lot of government departments.

If these people dare to do something to shake the empire, then the empire will suppress these people at the first time, and then confiscate all the land they spent their efforts and money on.

Well, the slaves will also be confiscated.

It is with this intention in mind that Zhang Tie formulated a lot of policies on the East Coast to attract those who have money to immigrate here.

Poor little lamb, they don't know that they are a fat sheep, and they have been targeted.

In short, the black slaves who were trafficked to the Americas were owned by the most important ethnic group. Because it's definitely about whether they survive in the future or not.

Falling into the hands of the Chinese people of the empire is a blessing.

He worked for ten hours a day, and the rest of the time he could lie down in a large house for slaves.

Three meals a day are enough.

Even the slaves who were purchased by the Chinese felt like they were in heaven.

Yes, the slaves in the hands of the Chinese have such thoughts.

They felt that being slaves was better than their former lives in their home tribes in Africa.

Anyway, they only need to work for an hour a day, and then they can lie in bed.

Therefore. Among the black slave community, there were many 'slave traitors'.

These so-called 'slaves' are actually the best performers among the slaves, who are valued and promoted by their masters, and then given the head of the slave to manage a small number of slaves.

These people, like their companions, were originally sold to the Americas as slaves, and as soon as they became small leaders, they began to oppress their former slave companions.

For their masters, they are absolutely the extreme.

What the master has to say, they can do properly. Doesn't bore the host at all.

Moreover, such people are emerging more and more in the black slave community.

The most famous is the East Coast Manhattan City, the black slave housekeeper next to Zhao Hongyu's father-in-law.

And here in Zheng Peipei, there are also several such female black slaves.

It is precisely for this reason that Zheng Peipei feels disgusted with them from the bottom of her heart.

However, after all, these people can do things, and at the same time, they also need someone to serve and take care of their own affairs.

Therefore. Zheng Peipei can only endure it temporarily.

Now, the Ming immigrants have given Zheng Peipei a new choice.

She has no sense of rejection for Ming women, and she is relatively close to her heart.

Therefore. It is very suitable to choose a Ming woman to be your housekeeper.

After all, the same species is the same origin, and there is no generation gap in language.

Most importantly, the women of the Ming Dynasty. I don't have that heavy body odor on my body.

This is the most important point for Zheng Peipei.

Yes, the black female slaves in Zheng Peipei's family, although they all choose young and beautiful slaves. But they all have that heavy body odor on their bodies. This made Zheng Peipei really unbearable.

However, if she didn't buy black slaves, wouldn't it be possible for her to clean such a big house by herself?

It's simply not possible.

Not to mention cleaning, just living here alone at night would scare you to death.

In such a big family, there is always a need for people.

However, you can't always be accompanied by a bunch of maids with body odors.

Therefore, the appearance of Luo Liu and Luo Chunxi made Zheng Peipei extremely happy.

This is also the reason why Zheng Peipei decided to let Luo Chunxi's little girl be her personal maid at that time.

Without it, there is no smell on the body.

"You come with me, today you get acquainted with it first, and tomorrow I will ask someone to take you around the house to get acquainted with it. In the future, you will be a housekeeper, but you must be dedicated. “

When Luo Liu saw Zheng Peipei, he had really decided to let himself be a housekeeper in the future.

Therefore, she no longer refused.

Besides, being a housekeeper is always better than being an old mother.

Being a housekeeper of a large family is also a very face-saving thing to get out of the house.

Especially if the owner of the family has a high status, then as a housekeeper is also very status.

"Everything is on the orders of the young lady."

Since he couldn't change Zheng Peipei's meaning, he could only accept such a fact and enter the state as soon as possible.

Zheng Peipei took Luo Liu and Luo Chunxi to the room in front that led to the third courtyard.

Along the way, four or five black maids followed them.

"According to your Da Ming, these maids are all Kunlun slaves." , Zheng Peipei said to Luo Liu. "In the future, you will be in charge of them, but sometimes they will not speak in a meaningful way, so you need to be patient when you tell them to do things."

Luo Liu followed behind Zheng Peipei with his head down, silently remembering what she said.

At the same time, she secretly said in her heart: Oh, it turns out that these black women are Kunlun slaves. It turns out that it's really the same as the legend, and the whole person looks so black...... (To be continued......)
