Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 268 Sister-in-law and beautiful wife both misunderstood

Chapter 269 Sister-in-law and beautiful wife both misunderstood

Regarding Wen Jiao's sudden situation, Cao Chong couldn't laugh or cry.

"Sister-in-law, this..., my thoughts on her have nothing to do with whether she becomes an official or not! I want her to continue to be the Minister of the Household Department. I really need her to sit in the Household Department. I wanted her to come back last year." I became a secretary because she worked too hard in the household department, and I was afraid that she would be exhausted!"

Zhen Mi gave Cao Chong a blank look: "Why are you telling me these things?"

"Yes! Yes! What about Wenjiao now?"

"It's okay, don't worry about her! You just said that Luoyang women are serious about being officials?"

What do you mean leave her alone?After working so hard for such a long time, I finally moved the beauty's mind, but now I was misunderstood again!It's very troublesome, isn't it?

"Sister-in-law, is Wenjiao really alright? I'd better go check it out!"

"I've said it's all right, so don't worry. If you go now, they won't see you. Sit down and talk to you about business!"

"Oh, then I'll wait for her to calm down before explaining to her..."

"Being fascinated by beautiful women, right? I'm telling you something serious!" Zhen Mi was a little annoyed.

"Ah, what's the matter, sister-in-law?"

Zhen Mi rubbed her head: "Brother! Wen Jiao is a beautiful woman, but she is many years older than you, why did she become so fascinated by you? I have asked you several times, are you really going to let a woman be an official in Luoyang?" ?”

Cao Chong glanced at Zhen Mi: What's wrong with being older than me?Grandpa likes it!You are not younger than her, are you...

"Of course it's true, sister-in-law, Wenjiao has been the Secretary of the Household Department for almost a year, why do you still ask such a question?"

"Wenjiao's situation is special. She came to Luoyang as your secretary. She was taken care of by you, and she was the only one, so everyone recognized her. But it doesn't mean that everyone has no opinion. If you appoint other women as officials, I'm afraid ..."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. In fact, although everyone is not happy about the fact that a woman is an official, they can tolerate it. Think about it. For hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, the queen mother and empress have been in power everywhere. Yeah?"

"Can these two be the same?" Zhen Mi asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"I think it's almost the same reason. Let's try it. Luoyang is always eager for talents from all walks of life. The school office has managed to recruit some talented women from all over the world. How can they be wasted!"

"Husband, if you ask the school affairs office to bring these girls to Luoyang, how can their family members agree?" Diao Chan came in from outside the door, and when she heard Cao Chong say this, she asked worriedly.

"How is Wen Jiao?" Cao Chong asked back, Diao Chan had just gone to comfort Wen Jiao.

Diao Chan gave him a blank look: "It has calmed down."

Zhen Mi pulled Diao Chan: "You see, your husband just loves the new and dislikes the old..."

Cao rushed forward and hugged Diao Chan: "Don't pay attention to her, Diao Chan is the best, and my husband will love Diao Chan forever!"

Diao Chan blushed, and broke away from Cao Chong: "My husband, don't make trouble... Husband hasn't answered why he asked the school office to bring these girls to Luoyang? Their family members will not want it, and it will be bad for your husband."

"What does it mean to have a bad reputation for me! What do you think? Do you think these women were forcibly captured by me?"

Zhen Mi nodded cooperatively.

"Then why did they leave home and come to Luoyang?" Diao Chan asked in a low voice.

Cao Chong stepped forward and grabbed Zhen Mi, with his hands up and down, it's against the heavens, how could you have such an idea!

"What kind of person do you take your husband for? Is my young master that kind of person? This is to invite someone to be an official, not to be a slave! How do you have such a long brain, why do you have such an idea?"

"A woman from a normal family would never abandon her home and go out. Even if you said you invited her to be an official, would anyone in the world believe her?" Zhen Mi asked confidently while dealing with Cao Chong's harassment.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucian ethics had been in control of the secular world for hundreds of years. Although it was far from being as strict as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is true that fools would not believe in inviting a woman from a good family to leave home to become an official. It is very suspected of human trafficking!
Cao Chong was taken aback by Zhen Mi's retorted question. None of the women sent by the school office this time seemed to have a normal family!
"Hey! Don't worry, they are all orphans and widows who can't live longer. After being discovered by the school affairs office, they pointed out a way for them to come to Luoyang to survive."

"Didn't you just say that the school office found a very talented woman? How come you are an orphan and widow who can't live anymore?" Zhen Mi looked at Cao Chong suspiciously.

"Whether a woman has talent has something to do with whether she is an orphan or widow, and her living conditions?" Cao Chong asked back.

"These are unlucky people whose families have suffered misfortune, being bullied by others or by their own family members. Generally, women are submissive in this situation, but there are some stubborn ones who want to try to resist, and then they are miserable. If it wasn't for the secret help from the school affairs office, these people would have died long ago."

"Isn't the school affairs office responsible for inquiring about information? Why are they secretly helping these orphans and widowed mothers?" Diao Chan asked puzzled.

"It's a special branch of the School Affairs Office. It was established when I came to Luoyang. They are usually only responsible for collecting some superficial information, such as price fluctuations in various places, crop harvests, and people's living conditions. The statistics team's Although people are under the jurisdiction of the school affairs office, they have little to do with the school affairs office itself." Cao Chong explained.

"Cao Yan saw that the people in the statistics team were too idle, so he entrusted them with the task of searching and recruiting talents. I gave them the order that no matter who they are, as long as they have skills, they can recruit, and their salary and the number and quality of recruiting hook up."

Cao Chong said with a smile: "In order to get more money, these bastards not only accept anyone, but as long as they are willing to come, they will send them to Luoyang. Anyway, the travel expenses are paid by the school office. The result is that , All kinds of people who can't survive in various places are now rushing to Luoyang."

"It's too casual, how could you let them mess around like this!" Zhen Mi asked with widened eyes.

"Nonsense? This is exactly what I hope, hum! These days, those who dare to leave their hometowns to make a living are already the best among the common people. I have worked so hard to stay those refugees, let alone these people? Luoyang accepts all lazy, greedy, treacherous and criminals, the more the better!" Cao Chong laughed.

"Besides, the school office has verified that many of these people are indeed capable. This time, I plan to directly select a group of capable people from among these people, and let them manage the refugees. This time, 7 people came at once. With more refugees, the population of Luoyang doubles directly, and the original county government's grassroots subordinates are simply not enough."

"Among them are these women? What kind of officials are you going to make them?"

"Depending on the individual's situation, I can do anything, but it will definitely drive Old Man Kong to death!"
