My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 75 73. Deng Xiaocao is actually the layman's grandniece

Shopkeeper Zhou, whose real name is Zhou Lian, was originally born as the bastard son of a wealthy family in Deng County. He did not study well, so he inherited a small part of the family business early on.

But also because of this, under the protection of the Zhou family, he gradually developed a lot of "industries", and his elder brother, who was born in the first place, was promoted to Xiaolian a few years ago and served as the county magistrate of Deng County, so..." "Industry" quickly increased.

Gan Ning said what he knew.

Huang Yueying nodded, "Brother, didn't you think about it before?"

"How?" Gan Ning smiled wryly, "My brother is nothing more than a traitorous general."

Huang Yueying was silent, in this era, what a TN fuck!
Seeing shopkeeper Zhou bring another jug ​​of good wine, Huang Yueying asked Xiaocao to continue pouring the wine.

It is true that I want to taste the wine of this era, and it is true that I want to be a good person.

Picking up the wine glass, Huang Yueying looked at it, and found that it was still clear, so she took a sip, and it was indeed much softer than the pot just now. She smiled, "Master Zhou, this good wine of yours is well hidden."

"Mr. Xiao, don't be joking. The villain really doesn't know Mr. Xiao face to face. I hope Mr. Xiao won't be offended." Shopkeeper Zhou bent down to beg for mercy, "This time, the expenses of Mr. Xiao and his party will be entrusted to my subordinates." It’s done, it’s an apology to Mr. Xiao.”

On the side, Xiaocao's heart sank after hearing this.

"That's not necessary, I can afford the money. Didn't shopkeeper Zhou send someone to call for rescue?" Huang Yueying smiled, "I just want to see who can save you in this little Deng County."

"Oh..." Shopkeeper Zhou stamped his feet anxiously.

Today's statue is really not something he can afford!

Once something unexpected happens... Deng County is so close to Xiangyang, not to mention him, even his Zhou family will be doomed!

Seeing this, Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief again, today... there is really hope.

Gan Ning sighed, "Shopkeeper Zhou, you and I have known each other once, don't think that I, Gan Xingba, are cruel, so I will advise you."

"General Gan, please tell me!"

"Your ill-gotten gains, how did you get them, how did you return them, or there may be a chance of survival."

Zhou Lian had a bitter face. He really didn't expect that a bought slave would cause such a mess. He never expected it.

And how can he repay the so-called ill-gotten gains!

Seeing this, Gan Ning didn't say anything more.

Huang Yueying just had a sullen face. During the Three Kingdoms period, the collapse of etiquette was nothing to the aristocratic family... but to the people under the aristocratic family, it was really worse than an animal.

In the early days of Guangwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a law prohibiting the sale and purchase of human beings...but now, no one respects it.

"Ren Gu's Biography" once said: "I also bought raw animals with others, and each hired eight horses. The family of the younger students came to redeem them, and the value was [-] horses at that time."

It means that in this era, some people bought "raw mouth" with others, that is, slaves. At that time, they each spent eight bolts of cloth, a total of sixteen bolts of cloth. up.

This kind of thing is exactly the same as what Deng Xiaocao encountered.

Aristocratic and powerful families can not produce, but there must be people from the bottom to overproduce.To put it simply, it is...someone is carrying the burden for them.

Originally, Huang Yueying could control herself not to think about these things, but Deng Xiaocao's appearance today was a clear reminder to her that this kind of thing...it exists, and there are many of them!

……

Not long after, a group of soldiers surrounded the guest house, and a young man ran in and said to shopkeeper Zhou, "Father, I have invited my uncle here."

Zhou Lian seemed to have found the backbone, saw the elder brother Zhou Qing who came in straw coir raincoat, and immediately greeted him, "Brother!"

The latter disliked it, "You are already in your thirties, why are you here, and who made the disturbance?"

"Mr. Huang Chu." Zhou Lian smiled wryly.

"Who cares... what... Little Mister? Little Mister Huang Chu!" Zhou Qing widened his eyes, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, the little gentleman escorted by Gan Xingba."

Zhou Qing was silent.

Deng County is very close to Xiangyang, so close that it takes less than half a day for a fast horse to make a round trip.

How could he not know what happened in Xiangyang?He is a scholar!How can I not admire Mr. Xiao!

But now, it is Mr. Xiao who came, who has been requisitioned by the state pastor as an official in five industries...

When he remembered that his family, land, and property were all in Deng County, he made a decision in his heart.

Entering the inn, Zhou Qing saw the little gentleman, so he laughed, took off his coir raincoat, and bowed his hands to salute, "Zhou Qing, the county magistrate of Deng County, has met the little gentleman and has admired the name of Mr. The friendship of the landlord?"

Huang Yueying looked at the person who came, walking squarely, she seemed to be upright, "How can I fulfill the friendship of the landlord?"

"Hey, of course it's the master's request, just let me know." Zhou Qing smiled, and he still planned to try to see if he could make peace.

If you can, even if the price is higher, it is a good deal.

Huang Yueying said with a half-smile, "Anything is fine?"

"nature."

"Zhou Xiancheng is the elder brother of shopkeeper Zhou?"

"Yes, but the concubines are different, and we are not too familiar."

"That's good, I'm afraid Zhou Xiancheng won't be ruthless." Huang Yueying laughed, "Zhou County Cheng, should you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, yes, I understand." Seeing this, Zhou Qing could only sigh in his heart, looked at his younger brother, and then waved his hand, "Come here, put Zhou Lian in prison and wait for interrogation!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Huang Yueying said again, at this time, she will be sent to the prison, and as soon as she leaves... the other party should still jump and jump.

It's called detention, but it's actually protection.

"What... what does Mr. Xiao mean?" Zhou Qing pretended to be puzzled.

"To be honest, this little girl is the distant niece of the layman Planting Flowers, the mentor of my younger sister, Chu Anjun." Huang Yueying thought for a while before speaking.

Before you engage in any fight, you have to be famous.

Although the name, it's a bit sloppy.

"Ah..." Zhou Qing was stunned, this Deng Xiaocao was just the daughter of a commoner, but the grandniece of a layman who planted flowers?

Gan Ning at the side:? ? ?
Huang Jun: ...?
Deng Xiaocao: ...? ?

Zhou Lian came to his senses, "Mr. Xiao said it was true, if he knew this earlier, why did he come to this point!"

After speaking, he went to find Deng Xiaocao's contract.

Huang Yueying didn't stop her either, this teacher has a famous name...you have to make it up again, otherwise Zhou Lian will be beaten to death.As for the entire Zhou family, she is now only these few people, so she can't be in a hurry.

"The layman knew that I was coming to Nanyang, so he casually told me to come down to Deng County to have a look."

Deng County is one of the birthplaces of the Deng surname...During the Three Kingdoms period, many people had the surname Deng. Of course, there were quite a few people with the surname Deng in Nanyang. people.

So, let's just say it casually, there must be a basis for this matter.

"I see." Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief. In Deng County, there are indeed many people with the surname Deng, but due to years of wars, there are also many people with a foreign surname.

Not long after, Zhou Lian took out Deng Xiaocao's deed of sale, "Mr. Xiao, this is Xiaocao's deed."

Huang Yueying took it, tore it up in front of several people, and then looked at Zhou Qing, "I think Zhou Xiancheng should allow Xiaocao to become a commoner, right?"

"I'll send someone to do it!" Zhou Qing immediately pulled one of his subordinates and asked him to go to the county government to handle it quickly.

The men ran away quickly.

Huang Yueying is not in a hurry, since she tore up Xiaocao's slave contract, she has to change her household registration back to a commoner, otherwise... she will be a refugee.Therefore, it is often played on TV in later generations, and people will be free as soon as they get any contract of sale... It's also quite outrageous.

On the side, Xiaocao's eyes are very bright. Although she doesn't know about planting flowers as a layman...but she can change back to her citizenship!She can go back to her parents!
"So, is Mr. Xiao satisfied?"

"Prime Minister Zhou is also sitting, why don't you drink some wine?" Huang Yueying smiled, but did not answer directly.

Zhou Qing responded with a smile, it would be best if it can be resolved peacefully, so he asked, "What is the important matter of Mr. Xiao coming here this time?"

"The Prime Minister of Zhou County should know that the Xiangyang Academy will be built soon."

"Yes, Wang Zhongxuan donated [-] volumes of books, Zhou Mu donated [-] volumes, and Mr. Xiao provided free pens, inks, papers and inkstones... It's an elegant thing."

"A collection of ten thousand volumes of books is not enough, so, I will go to the big aristocratic families for a while."

"Understood." Zhou Qing understood now, and then smiled, "If Mr. Xiao doesn't dislike it, I would like to donate a hundred volumes of books."

Huang Yueying smiled, "I don't dislike it."

She doesn't think there are too many books.

Afterwards, she looked at Xiaocao, "Xiaocao, next, you can answer whatever I ask, and you can't say a word, do you understand?"
