Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Chapter 116

Wang Zuo taught Ding Tian a lesson based on this principle, and he couldn't let go of this excuse, so Ding Tian had no choice but to follow him to the streets.

Wang Zuo went to the street. Although he was in casual clothes, there were six people in front of him and twelve people in the back. There were two rows of eight people on the left, and two rows of eight people on the right.

The whole person was surrounded by groups, and it was not so much a shopping as a demonstration.

Even if they travel in casual clothes, all of those people are vicious and tall, even in the north or in ancient times, these people are very brave, and they are not easy to mess with.

This kind of shopping...what a fart!

Ding Tian suggested in a low voice: "Why don't you take them wherever you want to go, and I... I can go shopping by myself?"

Going on like this, he felt too much like a "fox pretending to be a tiger".

Nobody dares to look at them in the street now, really!

The intuition of ordinary people has always been the most accurate, and they can't afford to provoke such a big man.

So much so that when a group of them appeared... well, they all played the role of cleaning the street.

It's like people avoid them when they see them, and even the shopkeepers don't laugh anymore.

"Let's go together." Wang Zuo didn't understand Ding Tian's thoughts: "Go to Ren Yazi to buy someone first."

Ding Tian didn't understand, why did he have to buy someone back?

He did not want to buy at all….

When he came out this time, he wanted to buy something for the prison, but he followed them, what could he buy?After entering the door, the shopkeeper and the waiters all had mournful faces, and some even disappeared directly, okay?

Playing prestige is not like that!

But Wang Zuo insisted on this, so they went directly to the cattle and horse market.

It is not surprising that slaves are not human beings, they are equivalent to cows and horses, but they are definitely not as precious as cows and horses.

Cows and horses are big animals, used for farming, if a farmer dies, he has to report to the government, if he dies of old age, he will not be held accountable, the farmer will take care of it himself, as long as the cowhide or horse hide is handed over to the government, because This is the strategic

This kind of leather can be used for armor, and there are few good cow and horse leather in circulation among the people.

But to die as a servant, just tell the government, and give the servant a little money for burning and burying. It may be two taels, or it may be four taels. The better ones are about ten taels.

Just like in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Tanchun's uncle Zhao Guoji passed away, and Tanchun only gave 20 taels of money for burning and burying.

That's because Zhao Guoji himself was a servant of the Rongguo Mansion. If it weren't for Aunt Zhao, or Aunt Zhao who had given birth to a son and a daughter for Jia's family, Zhao Guoji's death would only be a matter of two taels of silver.

Even the people belong to the Jia family, and their lives naturally belong to the Jia family...

So Ding Tian can't fully accept this kind of thing now.

Human rights were not valued at all in ancient times!

Because "people" are also divided into identities, unlike modern times, everyone is equal, and the class at this time is very obvious.

A slave is a slave, and a good citizen is a good citizen.

Wang Zuo took him straight to the manpower side of the cattle and horse market. It was the first time that Ding Tian saw slaves trading.

It was different from what he had imagined, he thought he would see a very messy scene, but to his surprise, it was very clean.

Slave traders in black clothes and hats stood respectfully at the door. Behind them was a large room with no front, allowing people to see the slaves inside.

The servants, wearing clean old clothes, stood inside, not looking sad, but chatting quietly, occasionally laughing.

"Why don't they...not...." Ding Tian was surprised.

"Slaves, it's normal to be resold. They have been servants in more than one master's house, and they are used to it." Wang Zuo's words were very ruthless and cold, as if they were commonplace.

But Ding Tian didn't feel comfortable listening, how can people be like animals....

But this is the status quo of this society, and Ding Tian once again realized that he is living in a different environment.

With a calm mind, he is just a small person and cannot change this era. It is a big thing that only capable people can do.

In addition to the strong and healthy servants, there are also family and family for sale.

There are adults, of course, and there are also those with children... and some with girls....

But the little girl kind.

It is estimated that the big girl has been bought away long ago.

Wang Zuo wandered around, and those slave traders didn't dare to come forward. From this point of view, he was a big shot, and slave traders were usually the most discerning people.

He is the best at judging the situation, and also the best at distinguishing who can be bullied and who cannot be offended.

"If you live alone, you need a groom who can help you take care of your horses and drive a cart for you. You need a woman who can help you wash and fold quilts and do housework. You also need a maid. Here are the guests serving tea and water..." After he said this, everyone had their jobs.

Ding Tian said resentfully: "Then why don't you find me a cook?"

"It's up to you to prepare the food." Wang Zuo ruthlessly broke Ding Tian's dream. The kitchen is Ding Tian's territory.

Ding Tian was speechless: "Just bully me!"

Wang Zuo glanced at him several times, his eyes... Ding Tian couldn't understand.

They walked around twice before Wang Zuo stopped in front of a room. This room was like a shed. He was not good at things like buying people, but someone hit him.

Liu Wenbin pointed to the family inside and said: "My lord, this family is not bad. The man is a handlebar type and can serve the animals. The woman is good at washing and folding quilts and tidying up the room. They have a son and a daughter in their family. The child is ten years old, and when he grows up, he can be used as a little maid; the boy is 12 years old, half a child, and can be a little follower for Ding Siyu."

"How do you know that girl is going to clean up?" Ding Tian was separated by several people, no matter how short he was, he couldn't see what the people inside looked like.

"Look at their whole family. Although they are all wearing old clothes, they are cleaned up very cleanly, and the children's hair is not messy. Although they are being sold, the whole family just huddles in the corner. It can be seen that they don't want to be separated. Then Just buy them all back, in this case, they will definitely be loyal to you." Liu Wenbin's fan was very out of date, but he opened it anyway, and shook it twice: "And people with children generally dare not have it. Bad thoughts, the whole family is in your hands, what are you afraid of?"

Ding Tian didn't have this kind of weird thoughts, and he felt a little creepy hearing him say that.

"Then buy this family and put it under Ding Tian's name. The house there is quite big and there are fewer people." Wang Zuo made the decision for Ding Tian: "If you like the old lady next door, you can still hire her. "

It seems that Wang Zuo knew the situation of Mrs. Jin next door, so he never thought of asking Ding Tian to fire her, but he didn't want Ding Tian to use her as an old lady. Once they left, the old lady would slip away faster than a mouse.

So I want to give it to one of Ding Tian's servants.

Serve Ding Tian well, and as for Ding Tian, ​​he just needs to cook something for himself.

In my opinion, this requirement is very simple, and the arrangement is well done... I am quite proud of it.

"I..." Ding Tian wanted to object, but it was useless.

Liu Wenbin has already negotiated with Ren Yazi. They buy things quite quickly. There is a class set up by the government office at the street corner. Go over and go through the formalities, hand over the money, and it's over.

When the whole family came to meet the new master, Ding Tian still didn't realize that he was already someone else's "master".

There are four people in this family.

The man is called Ma Laoliu, and everyone usually calls him "Ma Laoliu".

He can drive a cart, raise horses, and raise cattle. He can also do a little carpentry, and he can repair carriages, tables, chairs, etc. He is a bit like a universal worker.

The woman is Ma Liu's wife. She looks like a half-aged mistress, but she is clean. She should be called Ma, but she is also a maid and has no surname at all. The name given to her by the master is her first name, without a surname. , so people usually call her "Maliujia's".

The son's name is Ma Dafeng. It is said that he was born on a windy day and he is 12 years old.

My daughter's name is Ma Xiaohua. When she was born, the winter jasmine was blooming, so she was called "Xiaohua". She was ten years old.

The whole family stood together, looking at Ding Tian timidly, wondering what kind of nature is the person who bought his own family.

Ding Tian sighed in his heart, and said kindly: "My surname is Ding, and my name is Ding Tian. I am the jailer of the government office. Since you have come to my house, you must work hard... work. I am the only one in the family at present. , as long as you do your duty, you won't be beaten, scolded, let alone bullied, well, come with me."

The whole family followed behind this group of people...don't dare to get close at all, okay, walking on the street is quite novel.

After buying people, Ding Tian insisted on going to the nearby Lin's Cloth Shop and asked him how the order was going.

The shopkeeper of Lin's Cloth Shop thought that Ding Tian brought so many people here, and it was his teacher who asked him to blame him, so he said very humbly: "Ding Si prison, it's not that a small shop is negligent, you want too much goods, and the work here is rushing. There are still three days...

While talking, he kept looking at everyone with his small eyes, as if he was afraid that these people would violently hurt others.

"Then I'll come back in three days." Ding Tian said goodbye a little bit, and left with a group of "minion" in a rather aura.

Ding Tian bought some daily necessities, and there was nothing to buy, so Wang Zuo took someone to take Ding Tian back to his home slowly, and then took someone back by himself, and agreed to come over for dinner in the evening.

This brought people back, and when Aunt Jin saw it, she was like a bolt from the blue!

She just found a good job, and she's about to lose her job.

Ding Tian knew that she was thinking too much when he saw her appearance, so he hurriedly comforted the old woman: "Aunt Jin, this is given to me by someone else, I can't accept it, but I don't worry if I use them all, you still have to suffer , usually help me look after the house."

This is to make it clear that you can't trust servants, you can only trust good people.

Aunt Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's fine, but I think this family is honest, and the woman looks okay, let her help make some clothes when she is free

"Okay, you can figure it out." Ding Tian didn't bother to take care of these messy things, he just needed to give the money and get his ready-made clothes.

The family imported Tim Ding, and Ding Tian had to cook by himself. Fortunately, he knew that Wang Zuo was not picky about food, so he made a big pot dish: stewed four whites.

It is tofu, cabbage, vermicelli and pork belly.

The family didn't know how long they stayed there, there was no oily water in their stomachs, and their faces were disheveled. It was just right to eat this

Aunt Jin helped cut a potato slice. The knife was quite good, evenly thick and slightly transparent.

There is a stir-fried dish and a stewed dish. There is no soup, but there is soup in the stewed four whites. If you want to drink it, you can serve it yourself.

The staple food is a pot of double-sided noodles steamed by Aunt Jin at home today.

The family of four was temporarily housed in the East Wing. Ding Tian also asked Aunt Jin to take Ma Liu's family to the warehouse to get two bolts of fine cotton to make clothes. The family of four didn't even have a luggage roll, and Aunt Jin brought the bedding from her own house. Two sets of quilts, plus two sets of quilts for Ding Tian, ​​were placed temporarily.

Ding Tian felt that it was not good to use Aunt Jin's bedding, and thought about giving Aunt Jin some compensation, as there were still a lot of coarse cotton cloth and fine cotton cloth in the warehouse.

Who knew that when he said it, Aunt Jin rejected him: "No need, no need!"

"Then why are you so embarrassed?" Ding Tian insisted on giving because he was afraid that Mrs. Jin would feel embarrassed.
