Chapter 22

The one who came outside the door was a merchant in Fanlou, named Chen Bin.

After everyone greeted, Chen Bin raised his eyebrows and smiled strangely: "You will be fifteen next year. Look at Guoguo so cute, but you can't take them with you when you go out, right?"

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

The official officials of the Song Dynasty did not support the slavery system. In the past, the most common ones were that the wives and children of people were punished as slaves, and few sold their own bodies. However, in recent years, fewer and fewer people have been. Moreover, Chen An is a civilian and cannot buy slaves sold by officials.

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

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

If you can't do it well or are dissatisfied with the owner, then everyone will say it will be easy to break up when the deadline is over.

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

He squeezed his eyes and glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen next to him. Seeing that Chen An had no intention of letting him avoid it, he said, "You should find a virtuous woman to get married. This year, you are a little younger. When you are sixteen years old..."

Sixteen years old...

Chen An felt a little numb from his scalp.

"This... thank you. But I have to take a look at it."

Chen Bin didn't get a good job, so he changed the topic: "If you want to find a servant, I can help you see it, but it's better to find a good person, so there is room for choice at that time."

Chen An thanked Chen Bin.

After moving the next door, he would clean up and tidy it up a little, and he would move in with Guoguo.

But in such a large yard, the two brothers and sisters live in it, that feeling...

Chen An himself is not afraid, but Guoguo is afraid!

The two of them live next door, and it feels like they live in a haunted house.

It's better to be early than late, Chen An will go to find the middle-aged man immediately.

In Bianliang City, any person involved in population employment or real estate transactions must be completed from the hands of the middle-aged man identified by the government, that is, the Yaren, and then the government will naturally have a record.

Such measures are supplements to the policy after the Song Dynasty abolished the night ban and no longer restricted migration.

Chen An found a young middle-aged man, and Zhao Zhongzhen, who had followed along the way, muttered: "We want to find a mature person, young and innocent person."

Chen An ignored him and told the middle-aged man what he wanted.

"I probably need a steward in the head of the government, and two servants, one taking care of my sister, the other is better able to cook and do some chores. In addition, if I have a stable and good skill, I will find someone to visit the house and guard the house."

Everyone thought that this person would filter out the resources in his hands and then give a solution, but he immediately gave the answer.

"If you are the housekeeper, there is someone here. His family has a small population and is lively. He is familiar with the people in Bianliang City..."

"How are people?"

"He had worked in an official family for seven years, and later the official was impeached and bribed and exiled, but he was not implicated. It is said that he had persuaded the official, but the official did not listen. It was a grievance!"

Chen An heard it one by one, and then made an appointment with the middle-aged man to meet again, which also means an interview.

After breaking up with the middleman, Zhao Zhongzhen said with disappointment: "You are too stupid."

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

Zhao Zhongzhen said disdainfully: "That middle-aged man looks less than twenty years old, so he will definitely be unstable in doing things."

Chen An was thinking about his monthly income, and the expenses would be enough after these people entered the house.

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

"Bang!"

"Why are you hitting me again?"

Zhao Zhongzhen covered his head and said sadly and angry: "If you can't say it, just hit someone, what kind of good man?"

"I deserve it!"

Guoguo smiled gloatingly, and just clapped her hands to celebrate.

Chen An said casually: "It is a good thing to be successful, but it often represents murmur and cunning."

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

"What do you know?"

Guoguo held Huahua, Chen An held Guoguo. The two of them looked very harmonious, while Zhao Zhongzhen, who was like a little hedgehog, seemed a little out of place.

His expression was a little sad. Chen An said when he saw it: "The middle-aged people have to 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 and always want to hand over the worst people in their hands first. Do you understand?"

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

Chen An smiled and said, "They want to make money, but the middle-aged man just now looked energetic and even took the initiative to lower his commission. Such people want more reputation. With a good reputation, are they afraid that they won't make money?"

...

Three days later, Chen An and Zhongren met again.

More than a dozen men and women stood together, but their expressions were just a little humble, and they could not see the panic or the numbness of inferiority.

Chen An asked one by one and finally decided on four candidates.

"I've met Mr. Lang."

The housekeeper is Zhuang Ping'an, who is 37 years old. He looks very honest, but the person who can be a housekeeper for officials and can also detect that the master's family is embezzling and persuading him will not be honest.

The servant is Aunt Chen, who is in her thirties.

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

Ordinary young people are not willing to do things for other people's homes, but Zeng Ermei is an exception.

Guoguo was a little dull, and then looked at Zhao Zhongzhen.

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

ugly!

Zeng Ermei looks very ugly.

If she takes out her facial features alone, she can at least be considered ordinary.

But once we get together...

Chen An's mouth twitched and asked, "Why do you have to come out to do things?"

Zeng Ermei said in a muffled voice: "No one wants to marry me... I can't stay at home anymore."

Chen An nodded and said, "Okay, you're the one."

Zeng Ermei looked up at Chen An incredulously, "Langjun, the more than ten families in front of me are not looking down on me..."

Chen An frowned and said, "You... this, it looks pretty good when you smile, do it well."

"Thank you, my husband."

"you……"

Chen An looked at a strong man pondering.

"I've met Mr. Lang."

The strong man looked up and smiled, "The villain was originally...to say he was guilty. The villain also killed the enemy back then, but later he was jealous of Shangguan... and was driven out."

This guy laughed a little bit a headache.

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

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mr. Lang, this Yao Lian was originally a member of the imperial guards. I heard... talk about the war between you and the people of Xixia and Liao."

The strong man immediately began to talk about his glorious years, but Chen 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 news."

This guy has a very good resume, and Chen An was a little moved. But he was worried that the reason for his removal by the army was not good.

Yao Lian couldn't believe it, so he glanced at the middle-aged man.

Before the middle-aged man could speak, Zhao Zhongzhen said with a stern face: "I can also ask questions in the imperial guards. If you are not honest, then let the inspector's department arrest the deserter and then exil to Shamen Island!"

The child had a stern face and felt a little arrogant.

Chen An resisted the urge to slap, but Yao Lian crossed his hands and said, "Little Man..."

He smiled a little embarrassedly, and Chen An shouted, "If you can't explain clearly, go out!"

He would not take risks for a guard, especially the imperial guards. For the people, it was a forbidden existence. Once he was stuck on an inexplicable crime, he could not even be washed away.

Yao Lian lowered his head and said, "The villain... The villain was impulsive and said a few words to Dutou's wife..."

This chromogen!

Chen An instantly knew the reason why this guy was driven out by the imperial guards, but he should have no serious crime, otherwise he would have died without any corpse.

"Be careful that disaster comes from the mouth."
