Splendid Sweet Garden

Chapter 229 Two Official Second Generations

"What's your name, where are you from, how old are you, and can you read?" Zhen Tian took three people to the yard where she lived, and asked them.

"My lady, my maidservant's original name was Yuniang, but she was renamed as Fuci yesterday. She is 20 years old this year. She is from Gou Shuitang, Houshui County, Eastern Capital Prefecture. This maidservant can't read!"

It was a woman who spoke first. This little woman is not very old, but she is generous in her actions.

Zhen Tian looked at her, "Are you already married?"

After she finished asking, she saw sadness flashing in Fuci's eyes, "My lady, the slaves were divorced by men!"

Zhen Tian frowned slightly, "Where is your man now, and what are you doing?"

Fuci even said that she was killed, so she naturally didn't hide this, and said, "Lady, the husband before the servant is currently serving as the county magistrate in Yuanzhou!"

As soon as she said this, Zhen Tian didn't show any expression. The remaining silk clothes and the two men were all surprised. The husband is an official, but the divorced wife is sold as a slave. Very complicated.

Zhen Tianxin also sighed inwardly, there are too many poor women in this world, such a smart woman just happened to be the Qin Xianglian who met Chen Shimei.

A woman who can keenly see Zhen Tian's hints is very smart if she knows it, but even so, she can't keep a man who wants to climb high.

It is said that after passing the Jinshi examination, one's wife and son are conferred, but how many men have a high position, so they seek higher, and after winning the favor of noble women, they let their wretched wives go down.

Throughout the ages, in fact, it has always been very realistic, not women, but men!

"Yuan Zhou, there is no one here who knows you, right?"

If Zhen Tian wants to do things, what she needs is a fresh face. If it is local, has complicated relationships, and is easy to be recognized as her identity, no matter how smart she is, she can't use it.

Fuci shook her head, "The slaves and servants have only two relatives, father and mother, and now they all follow the master. My heartless husband is also far away from here. My parents-in-law died in the flood this time, and no one knows me anymore!"

In this era, there is not much population movement, so it is basically difficult for ordinary people to meet acquaintances when they go to other places. It is really a great fate that Yuqiao and Sun Sanniang can recognize each other.

It is rare, now that Zhen Tian heard what Fuci said, she didn't continue to ask.

It's a coincidence that today these three people are all from the Eastern Capital, and they don't know each other. Of these two men, one changed his name to be a wooden beam, and the other is Zhu Dong.

They were all assigned to build a house before. Compared with the story behind Fu Ci, the two of them were much simpler. The family suffered a disaster and had no food to eat, so they sold themselves.

The two spoke simply, but Zhen Tian kept looking at them, "You two know each other, right?"

Probably did not expect Zhen Tian to be so sensitive, both of them looked panicked, "Master..."

"I just ask you, is the household registration real?" Zhen Tian didn't listen to their explanation.

The people that Zhen Tian bought were basically ordinary people. What is ordinary is ordinary people who have no opportunity to receive education and their living standards are very average.

Such people are born in women, such as Fuci, because they are limited by Dakang's rules for women, so even if they are smart, they have no chance to display their talents and wisdom.

If a man is smart, he basically won't mix himself up to the point where he needs to sell himself.

It seems complicated to say this, but in fact, in this world, a really smart man, such as a man who can be so sensitive to Zhen Tian's hints, has many ways to get ahead, selling himself is definitely the most expensive, and the least worth it kind of.

Therefore, Zhen Tian completely believed in Fu Ci's words, because she was a woman, even if she was smart, she might lose her luster.

But these two men, even if they cover up, Zhen Tian can still tell that they know each other, and they will sell themselves, and they are not ordinary victims of disasters and cannot survive.

"It's true, master, slave..." The two knelt down with a bang, wanting to explain to Zhen Tian.

Zhen Tian sat quietly in her seat, "I will be willing to sell myself as a slave, or I just can't live on, and I don't have the ability to turn over, or I want to hide my name and identity, am I right?"

Mu Liang and Zhu Dong smiled wryly, they never imagined that their purpose would be seen through by Zhen Tian at a glance, and at this moment, they dare not hide it.

"Master listened to the servant's explanation, we originally..." The two of them introduced to Zhen Tian why they sold themselves.

The two of them really had no other relatives. The two of them were just friends who grew up together. The two of them could be regarded as a family of officials. Although they were only local officials, their education was good at home.

It's just that during the Chinese New Year last year, their father was suddenly reported and framed, and the whole family was exiled. The two were also lucky. When the accident happened, they were studying outside, and the family replaced their identities with slaves.

They took someone else's household registration to save their lives. Although the two stayed, how could they be willing to do so, so they concealed their identities and wanted revenge.

Who knew that they accidentally exposed their traces and were followed by others. In order to avoid those people, they sold themselves as slaves.

It stands to reason that since the two wanted to conceal their identities, they shouldn't have come out in such a high-profile manner, but they saw that Zhen Tian asked Zhou Da and Jiang Hua to build a house. If they could only do this, they would do better in the future. Can't take revenge.

So if they want to venture out, they guess that Zhen Tian will imply that there are other important things to employ people, and they are very demanding of people, they just want to come out and try to see if they can find another opportunity revenge.

After hearing their explanation, Zhen Tian also felt a headache, "What is your father's official position?"

The two told Zhen Tian directly, and Zhen Tian wrote it down, "Don't think about revenge, you should do things well first, and I'll take a look later!"

These two people were also downcast. They originally thought that they could hide themselves and take revenge, but they were immediately exposed by Zhen Tian, ​​and they didn't dare to do anything under Zhen Tian's nose.

Zhen Tian wrote down the names the two gave her, put them in the envelope, and put them away.

Seeing that they were downcast, Zhen Tian was not angry, "What's the matter, if your father is really wronged, I will help your father recover his innocence, if not, then you should do nothing!"

"Master is still willing to help us?" The two looked at Zhen Tian excitedly when they heard what Zhen Tian said.

Zhen Tian took a look at the two of them, "I'm talking about if your father is really innocent, and, besides, you should do your best!"

Zhen Tian felt that she was really lucky. If she bought a few random people, she could get two second-generation officials. But there is also a good thing. Since these two were second-generation officials before, they must be able to read and write. What kind of role should they play? Young Master and the like, aren't they easy to grasp?
