When Nianfu came back, in addition to two large iron furnaces, there were also a few new faces at home.

The first person who was hit, his surname was Zhuang and his name was Jin. He was the grandson of Zhuang Wenyuan, the most famous iron-faced censor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Censor is a third-rank official, an absolute senior official, and his grandson is naturally a real third-generation official. However, the fate of this third-generation official is really a bit sad, even more than Ouyang Kanglai.

The matter has to start with his grandfather.

Zhuang Wenyuan was a famous honest official. Before the late emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty died, the censor had repeatedly criticized Yan Zhizhi, and even tried to steal the eunuchs' golden gourd sticks used as ceremonial guards under the emperor's nose. He chased and beat them up in the dynasty.

The fearless deeds of the treacherous minister. But because of his selfless and righteous words, even if the emperor was so angry that he was furious, he was worried about his reputation and could not kill him.

When the current emperor was approaching the city and pressing into the palace wall, only the Censor Zhuang bravely stood up, facing countless swords and scolding Gao Xian.

To add a little, Gao Xian was originally an old minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he was also a royal relative. Zhuang Wenyuan, in addition to being the official censor, also taught several students part-time. Because of his knowledge and talent, many princes and princes are relatives.

For example, when Emperor Gao Xian was young, he joined Zhuang Wenyuan's disciples and received his teachings. Therefore, when Zhuang Wenyuan scolded Gao Xian, it was just a slander and awe-inspiring mountain and rivers.

Then, the mountains and rivers turned red.

The new and old dynasties have changed, and they are all stained with blood. Even if Gao Xian respects his former mentor, he cannot be polite to the stubborn Censor Zhuang. So when he kneels there with tears in his eyes and is scolded.

The sensible guy blocked Mr. Zhuang's throat with one arrow.

Then, Zhuang Wenyuan's wife and children were all executed. However, the grandchildren were not killed in one fell swoop. Those who were not yet adults were in Shengpingfang and became officials and would never be able to turn over.

In this way, some people criticized Gao Xian for being cruel and deceiving his masters and ancestors. Some people praised the new emperor for being kind, just because of Zhuang Wenyuan's great rebellion, he would not destroy the nine clans. He did not exile the survivors for three thousand miles. It was really kind.

Anyway, justice is in the hearts of the people, and the merits and demerits of the future can only be judged by others. And what good treatment can the Zhuang family get when they enter Shengpingfang?

Ordinary slaves are easy to buy and sell, and young and beautiful girls don’t have to worry about their way out, and then those who are older. But middle-aged and elderly people who have a skill gradually have a place to go. In addition, those who die in prison and those who are unable to think about committing suicide, 5

Six years later, a large family of hundreds of people was demolished to pieces, and the sky was separated by one.

Only Zhuang Jin stayed.

Every day, they are taken to the Ya market as soon as they are dawn. They are picky and choose as if they are picking animals. They can't return to Shengpingfang until dark. Drink cold water, eat a bowl of rotten rice, listen to countless cold words, and suffer countless tortures. Don't look at him

It seems that I am twenty-seven or eighty years old now, but in fact, I am twenty-one and only fifteen when something happened. Such an old attitude is all for the trouble of life.

Nianfu sighed so much that the young master of the third rank official is now a slave who is even less humble than himself.

Official slaves are not as good as private slaves. Private slaves have the possibility of selling their bodies, and the master giving them mercy and giving them back their freedom. If official slaves want to be free, they must encounter a general amnesty for the court.

However, the dealer is exceptional.

Because Zhuang Wenyuan was scolding Gao Xian for being a rebellious minister who was killed when he usurped the country. If his children and grandchildren were pardoned, wouldn’t it be a problem for the people of the world to scold Zhuang Wenyuan like that, and you can also scold him?

So it is impossible for Zhuang Jin to wait for the day of pardon in his life. Well... If the Liang Dynasty perished before him, it would be no problem. However, this probability is really a bit small, and it is probably more difficult than winning the lottery, so Zhuang Jin only

I can find a good customer and be a slave for the rest of my life.

At present, he is interested in Ouyang Kang.

When Ouyang Kang talked about him behind his back, he was also flirting with his fancy. This person is really a talented person. He can see several problems in just one side, and they all hit the nail on the head.

First of all, he saw that Ouyang Kang, a foreigner, lived alone here and was served by slaves from the capital. So he guessed that Ouyang Kang had a home in the capital, but for some inconvenient reasons, he had to move here alone.

Secondly, he bought slaves from the servants of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion and brought them to him, and focused on selecting some official maids who understand economics and needlework, which proved that Ouyang Kang had a good reputation and had certain appreciation potential, but his equipment was poor.

He urgently needed people, so he was so bold.

However, it was seen that they had suffered losses when they bought this broken house. Young Master Ouyang refused to mention it. He only focused on how wise and powerful he was, and pretended to force Zhuang Jin to produce the prototype, and was determined and sincere.

Submit.

Ouyang Kang was quite proud of this festival, but Nianfu was quite disliked, "It's the time for people to be unlucky. Is it glorious for you to take advantage of the situation like this?"

Seeing her rolling eyes, Ouyang Kang hurriedly defended, "He is not stupid. I want to be such a villain. Will he be willing to accept me? Now we are all unlucky, so he can only follow us and work hard to help this family.

Only when you get better and better can you find your relatives in a glimmer of hope. I refuse to agree to him, but I just don’t want to give him a vague hope. How can you be cruel?"

Nianfu listened to some truth, but then he thought about it and said, "Then why not just recommend him to Guan Yaozu? That way, it would be much better for people to find someone than us."

"You are wrong." Ouyang Kang, who often experiences brainstorming, knows much more clearly about this kind of thing than an outsider Nianfu, so he explains it patiently to her.

Because Zhuang Wenyuan died too vigorously, ordinary officials would not and dare to interfere with the banker's side. Most of the people who were willing to buy the banker were merchants or human traffickers from all over the country. Otherwise, Zhuang Jin would not have been in Shengpingfang.

I stayed in for six years.

However, Zhuang Jin was able to stay there for six years without death and was not sold to the market. This also shows from another perspective that he is still quite capable.

After understanding this truth, Nianfu's sympathy was greatly reduced, and he became a little worried, "Will he be mentally distorted or something if he stayed in that place for so long? Is it dangerous for us to keep him?"

Ouyang Kang smiled again, "Don't worry, he is now in our family, which is thousands and hundred times better than the official slaves. Besides, if he wants to find his younger brother and sister, he has to rely on us. Compared to those who are in power, he is surrounded by others.

The nobles of countless servants are actually better than following us as poor and innocent. So even if he has any bad intentions, he will never dare to use them. He must be looking forward to our family well and will never want to see our family.

Unlucky. He grew up in the capital since childhood. Although he had been imprisoned for five years, he was very familiar with it. If we use him, we can avoid detours."

Nianfu finally felt relieved, but asked again, "Then where is his brother and sister? Is there any clue?"

Zhuang Jin had inquired about this, but he only knew that his sister bought it for Mr. Chen from the south, and his younger brother took it away for a Hu merchant from the north. This south and north are so big, where is the world?

Looking for it?

Nianfu shook his head when he heard this, afraid that she would think of her father and feel her life experience. Ouyang Kang hurriedly changed to a relaxed topic, "Do you know that our family also has its own merchant now?"

What merchant? Nianfu was inexplicably heard.

Ouyang Kang told her with a smile that many merchants in the capital would join officials and become famous slaves, but in fact they were still doing his small business. However, they would pay filial piety to the rituals and help with some work on time to get the owner's house.

A back guard.

Oh, Nianfu suddenly realized, and then he was surprised. It turned out that he had a day to be a protective umbrella? But Ouyang Kang is not an official, so how can he protect people?

Ouyang Kang was unwilling to explain, and only asked Nianfu not to worry so much, "I have these things. But the two new girls outside, I think they are smart, so I just put them in your house to serve them.

You can change your name."

The two girls met when Nianfu came back. They were both born well, with beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes. She just wondered, "You guys are so beautiful, don't you guys like to put the red sleeves in the room to add fragrance? What are you doing for me?"

That's how I can't keep it! Ouyang Kang glanced at the silly sister who was confused about the charm, but said, "Don't I want you to be addicted to a lady? Those two girls, one was a lady from the fifth-rank Guaner family, and the other was a sixth

You are so happy if you have them to serve you?"

Will this bring you a blessing? Nianfu was quite nervous, "Forget it, you'd better take it back." Well, she was afraid that she would be too high and she would compare herself.

But Young Master Ouyang was so mean that he refused to push the person to her, "You must accept these two people, otherwise Yaozu will be uneasy."

What does this matter with that monkey? Ouyang Kang told her, "Brother Guan wants to ask for your chicken feet."

"Take it down!" Nian Fu refused flatly. She was tired of eating chicken recently and didn't even want to smell the chicken. "I'll give him the prescription and let him make it by himself."

Seeing her expression with her eyes raised with her eyebrows, Ouyang Dashao suddenly wanted to laugh, and then he wanted to step forward and rub it a few times. Finally, he restrained his facial expression and said sincerely, "Okay."

Guan Yaozu brought too few chicken feet home, and the whole family didn't eat well. The result was to miss it, especially Mr. Guan. After his colleagues bragged to him for a few more times, everyone was going to come.

Taste his chicken feet. Guan Yaozu couldn't, so he had to ask Brother Ouyang Shi to come and ask Nianfu and offer a series of preferential conditions.

But Ouyang Kang can accept the discount conditions with a smile, but he does not intend to give chicken feet. His opinion is the same as Nianfu, and he will give it to Fangzi directly.

Ouyang Kang knew very well that relying solely on the small favor between him and Guan Yaozu, he could only leave a good impression at most. If he really wanted to make friends with others, he had to pay a lot of money.

Although Zhenyuan Hou is a newbie, he has no famous dishes. After Ouyang Kang came into contact with Wang Can, a son of a noble family, he deeply realized that a good dish can sometimes become an important bargaining chip for a family. It is not unreasonable to look at the food of the third generation.

Yes. So, how can I give a basin of chicken feet be decent?

However, there is no need to talk too carefully about Nianfu. It is not that Ouyang Kang wanted to hide it intentionally, but that he instinctively felt that he should do the things that would make his intestines tied up with his own worries. As for Nianfu,

Just make a few dishes and just want to order simple and happy things.
