A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The person coming outside the door was a merchant from Fanlou named Chen Bin.

After everyone greeted each other, Chen Bin raised his eyebrows and smiled strangely: "You will be fifteen next year. You see Guoguo is so loved, but you can't take it with you when you go out, right?"

Shen An was a little confused and asked, "But is there a suitable woman willing to be my servant?"

The Song Dynasty officially did not support the slavery system. In the past, most of the wives and children of convicts were punished as slaves, and few of them sold themselves. But in recent years it has become less and less common. Moreover, Shen An was a commoner and could not buy slaves sold by officials.

Therefore, most of the servants in the Song Dynasty were employed, regardless of gender.

If you do it well, you will be a master and a servant for a lifetime.

If you don't do it well, or if you are dissatisfied with the master, then everyone can talk about it and part ways when the time limit is up.

Chen Bin is one of the ten merchants who has the secret skill of cooking. However, he has no background, so he has the most cordial attitude towards Shen An.

He winked and glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen beside him. Seeing that Shen An had no intention of letting him avoid it, he said, "It's time for you to find a virtuous woman to get married. If you can't get married this year, you are too young. Wait until you are sixteen." when……"

Sixteen years old...

Shen An felt his scalp numb.

"This... thank you very much. I just have to take another look at this."

Chen Bin failed to flatter her, so he changed the subject and said: "If you want to find a servant girl, I can help you, but it is best to find the right one. You will have a choice when the time comes."

Shen An thanked Chen Bin.

After the house next door moved, after a little cleaning and tidying up, he and Guoguo were about to move in.

But in such a big yard, the two brothers and sisters lived there, and it felt like...

Shen An himself is not afraid, but Guo Guo is!

The two of them lived next door, which felt like living in a haunted house.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Shen An will go find the man right away.

In Bianliang City, anything involving the employment of people or the sale of real estate must be completed by a middleman recognized by the government, that is, the Yaren, and then the government will naturally register it.

These methods were the supplementary policies of the Song Dynasty after the night ban was abolished and migration restrictions were no longer restricted.

Shen An found a young matchmaker, and Zhao Zhongzhen, who was following him all the way, muttered: "Look for someone who is mature, and someone who is young and inexperienced."

Shen An ignored him and told the man his request.

"I probably need a housekeeper who is in charge, and two maids. One will take care of my sister, and the other should preferably be able to cook and do chores. In addition... if there is anyone who is reliable and skilled, find one for me. One comes to see the home and care for the home.”

Everyone thought that this man would filter the resources in his hands and then come up with a plan, but he gave the answer immediately.

"As for the housekeeper, there is someone here. His family is small and lively. He is familiar with the characters in Bianliang City..."

"How are people?"

"He previously worked for an official for seven years. Later, the official was impeached for accepting bribes and was exiled. However, he was not implicated. It is said that he even tried to persuade the official, but the official did not listen. What an injustice!"

Shen An listened one by one, and then made an appointment with the middleman to meet again. It was also meant as an interview.

After breaking up with the man, Zhao Zhongzhen said with a disappointed look on his face: "You are too stupid."

Guoguo couldn't tolerate anyone talking about her brother, so she shouted: "You are stupid, you are stupid!"

Zhao Zhongzhen said disdainfully: "The man in question seems to be less than twenty, so he must not be reliable in his work."

Shen An was thinking about his monthly income and whether he would be able to spend money after these people came home.

"As I said, young people are not reliable and they still have to do things..."

"Snapped!"

"Why did you hit me again?"

Zhao Zhongzhen covered his head and said angrily: "You beat people up even if you don't agree with them. How can you be a good man?"

"Deserve it!"

Guoguo smiled gleefully and almost clapped her hands in celebration.

Shen An said casually: "Being mature is a good thing, but many times it also represents old age and cunning."

Zhao Zhongzhen retorted: "But it's more reliable than the one just now."

"What do you know?"

Guoguo is holding Huahua, and Shen An is holding Guoguo. The two of them look very coordinated, but Zhao Zhongzhen, who is like a little hedgehog, seems a little out of place.

His expression was a little sad again. When Shen An saw it, he said: "The middlemen's profession must be registered with the government, so there is no need to worry about being deceived. On this basis, the old guys always want to make more money. I want to hand over the worst people in my hands first, do you understand?"

Zhao Zhongzhen asked: "The young people...don't they want to make money?"

Shen An said with a smile: "They want to make money, but that person just now looked so energetic that he even took the initiative to lower his commission. These people want reputation even more. With a good reputation, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money?"

…

Three days later, Shen An and Zhongren met again.

More than a dozen men and women stood together, but their expressions were only slightly humble, and there was no sign of panic or inferiority.

Shen An asked questions one by one and finally decided on four candidates.

"I've met Mr. Lang."

The housekeeper is 37-year-old Zhuang Ping'an, who looks very honest, but someone who can serve as a housekeeper for officials, and can also detect and persuade the master's family to be corrupt, is not honest.

The servant girl is Mrs. Chen, in her thirties.

The cook is Zeng Ermei, who is in her early twenties and very young.

Most young people are not willing to work for others, but Zeng Ermei is an exception.

Guoguo was a little dazed, and then glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen.

Zhao Zhongzhen couldn't bear it anymore and whispered: "Your brother will definitely not choose her."

ugly!

Zeng Ermei looks very ugly.

If her facial features were taken out individually, she would at least be rated as average.

But once we get together...

The corner of Shen An's mouth twitched and asked, "Why do you want to go out to do things?"

Zeng Ermei said angrily: "No one wants to marry me... and I can't stay at home anymore."

Shen An nodded and said, "Okay, count you in."

Zeng Ermei looked up at Shen An in disbelief, "Lang Jun, the dozen or so family members in front of me all look down on me..."

Shen An frowned and said: "You... well, you look pretty good when you smile. Do your best."

"Thank you, sir."

"you……"

Shen An looked at a strong man pondering.

"I've met Mr. Lang."

The strong man raised his head and said with a smile: "The villain... I want to apologize. I also killed the enemy back then, but later I was jealous of the superior... and was kicked out. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "

This guy's smile makes people have a headache.

Shen An frowned and said, "Be more serious and tell the truth."

The man in the middle smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Lang, this Yao Lian was originally from the Forbidden Army. I heard... tell me about your war with the Xixia people and the Liao people."

The strong man immediately started talking about his glorious years with great joy, but Shen An felt that this guy looked a little unreliable.

"Don't try to get away with it, otherwise I will go to Bao Zheng to find information."

This guy's resume was outstanding, and Shen An was a little moved. But he was worried that the reason why he was removed from the army was not good.

Yao Lian couldn't believe it and glanced at the middle man.

Before the man could say anything, Zhao Zhongzhen said with a straight face: "I can also ask questions in the Forbidden Army. If you are dishonest, let the Inspection Department arrest you as a deserter and then exile you to Salmon Island!"

This kid had a straight face, and he actually felt a bit calm and confident.

Shen An resisted the urge to slap him, but Yao Lian crossed his hands and said, "Young man..."

He smiled awkwardly, and Shen An shouted: "If you don't understand clearly, get out!"

He would not take risks for a nursing home, especially the forbidden army. To the common people, it was a forbidden existence. Once it was stuck with inexplicable crimes, it could not be washed away.

Yao Lian lowered his head and said: "Little man... I was impulsive and said a few words to the lady in Dutou..."

This pervert!

Shen An instantly knew the reason why this guy was driven out by the Forbidden Army, but there shouldn't be any serious crime, otherwise he would have died long ago with no bones left.

"Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth."

Shen An warned, and then said to the intermediary: "Let's do it. It will start in half a month. By then, the affairs of the new family will be complicated, so you must pay close attention."
