Ding Tian's Ancient Life

But in the evening, he ate white sliced ​​meat dipped in mashed garlic; scrambled eggs with leeks, and radish and mutton ball soup. The staple food turned out to be porridge cooked in a big pot.

The porridge was thick and had beans in it.

Most importantly, there is also a plate of garlic eggplant!

After dinner, Wang Zuo asked Wang Fugui, "What did you eat in prison today?"

"Today in the prison is stewed frozen tofu with sauerkraut, porridge with garlic, and eggplant with garlic^" Wang Fugui said in detail at the side: "The servants eat radish ball soup, with flatbread, and the pickles are eggplant with garlic. Sergeants In the big pot, the radish and mutton ball soup boiled today is used as a midnight snack. One person can drink a large bowl in the middle of the night to keep out the cold. Scrambled eggs with leeks... It was made by Ding Xiaolao alone, divided into three As for the plate, he kept one for himself, one for Mr. Du, and one for you..."

Wang Zuo happily ate dinner.

At the same time, Ding Tian welcomed Lin Qi again: "Why do you come here all the time?"

"I heard that tomorrow, some people will be sold." Lin Qi came over with two catties of braised pork head meat: "I want to ask you something, can you... can you..."

"No." Ding Tian shook his head: "Stop thinking about it, this is an official job!"

As early as when he first came here, Ding Tian had studied the laws here in detail, and the meaning of official sales was to be sold by the government.

Especially when dealing with corrupt officials, there are countless servants in their families, all of whom are lowly. In ancient times, this was equivalent to the existence of cattle and horses, and they all belonged to the scope of "property".

People like this are all going to be sold, but this sale is no longer a sale by the owner, but a sale by the government, the price is fair, and the buyer can rest assured.

Because this is a servant who was "sold by the official".

The government will also pick whoever buys it, and the common people will not sell it to them, because first of all, "the good and the cheap do not marry", because they are afraid that the common people will buy back beautiful women and give them children.

And the use of servants is also very particular, just like ordinary people, they don’t know how to use servants, one is unaffordable, and the other is useless^

Those who can buy people to serve their own family must be at least at the level of big landlords.

It is absolutely impossible for Lin Qi to be a government servant.

Lin Qi drooped her head: "I am..."

"Don't worry about her, such a maid is not good enough for you..."

"It's because I'm not good enough for her... She looks so good-looking... I'm a government servant." Lin Qi was obviously still worried.

"What's more, the imperial court has strict laws. First, the good and the poor are not allowed to marry each other; second, a man can only take a concubine when he is [-] and childless!" Ding Tian told him: "Don't think about it."

According to the law, civilian men who have no children in their forties can take one concubine to continue the incense and give birth to offspring.

Two gaps, enough to separate the two of them.

"Oh!" Lin Qi sighed greatly.

"I know, you are looking at her beautiful, but Brother Lin Qi, can your appearance when you are young be able to withstand the erosion of time?" Ding Tian said to him earnestly: "When she is old, do you regret it?" What should I do? There is no medicine for regret in the world."

Lin Qi drooped his head without making a sound, and had a meal at Ding Tian's place. After returning, he drank half a catty of wine and became drunk.

And the next day, someone came to take out the male servants and maidservants of Lord Ma's family in the prison, which greatly relieved the pressure on Ding Tian's cell.

The first batch of people who were taken away were servants who were usually not favored. At first they were taken away by the whole family, but later they were taken apart. The whole family was torn apart. Where, this is the end of being a slave.

This made Ding Tian realize for the first time that this era does not pay attention to who or what power, but to pay attention to status, princes, nobles, nobles and so on.

It's been almost a year since he came here, and it's the first time he saw the tip of the iceberg of feudal society in detail.

In just two days, more than [-] people came and wiped out the servants and maidservants of Master Ma's family. These people were dismantled and sold, and it might be difficult to meet them in the future.

It is said that people from the brothels and Chu halls in Fucheng came to select candidates, because the beautiful maids of Mrs. Ma's family were famous, but they were not sold to them.

This is the only result that makes Ding Tian more gratified.

But... this group of people left, and someone was locked in again.

It's two families.

"Master Qian? Master Xing?" Ding Tian couldn't believe it.

Ding Tian thought they were not implicated when he saw Master Ma’s family being imprisoned, but he didn’t see the two masters. In the end, he was too happy. They just had no place to be imprisoned, and they were imprisoned in their own home. Now they follow Master Ma. The whole family was detained together, and all the servants in the family were sold by the officials.

Only his wife and children were left with him.

"Boss Xiao Ding Lao..." The two of them were dejected, and they no longer had the arrogance they used to.

"Oh, then... come in, don't open and close separately, I will give you a suite." Ding Tian gritted his teeth.

There are also large suites in the cell, not many, only two sets. After taking a bath, Ding Tian distributed them to Master Qian and Master Xing. Anyway... Excluding those servants, the population of their two families is not large .

Moreover, the children are still young and live together, which is convenient for the mother to take care of the children.

"Thank you." The two masters cupped their hands and were locked in.

Ding Tian had no friendship with them, so he just sent them in and handed them over to the servants. These servants were only responsible for cleaning and delivering food, but only Ding Tian had the key.

Because the burning of the kang and cleaning up the excrement were all carried out outside, there was no need to open the cell door.

Ding Tian's key was held tightly by himself, and he would not be touched by others. Moreover, he was in the yamen these days and never went out. He even asked Liu Sen to say hello to his third uncle. There was something in the yamen. He won't go back these days, so that the family members will go out less and stay at home honestly.

As a result, Liu Sen came back with a strange expression on his face, which startled Ding Tian: "What's wrong with you? Something happened to my house?"

"Your family is fine...that is, the Gao family and the Chen family...were also arrested."

"The Gao family and the Chen family?" Whose family is this?

"It's Mr. Gao's Gao family, and the Chen family that resigned from your marriage." Liu Sen stammered: "It is said that the two of them, together with Master Ma's wife's cousin, partnered to resell the grain in the granary to make money... even All the grain stores they opened were confiscated.”

Ding Tian's eyes widened: "Really?"

"It's true. It is said that the goods in their grain store are all grains brought from the government's granary, and they didn't spend a penny! That's why when they bought grain, they kept the price so low... Now it's alright, theirs His home was ransacked, and the person was arrested, and he will probably have to be brought here in a while, and he will continue to be kept in a cell.” Liu Sen also told him: “I heard that the grain store will also be sold by the government to make up for their shortfall in the warehouse.”

"Hehe..." Ding Tian really didn't expect that the Gao family and the Chen family would be implicated.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, these two companies are not a good thing, they are ingratiating themselves, and they are now implicated.

Liu Sen left. Before dinner, sure enough, two families were escorted in. There were no servants. They were probably sold by officials. These two families were the most noisy ones.

The Chen family, in particular, scolded the Gao family. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family was a well-known shrew. Since the old Xiucai passed away, the Chen family split up, and the second and third children of the Chen family moved directly. Gone, left Niujiao County, and never interacted with the old family anymore. It can be said that the Chen family is broken up.

Later, the Chen family retired, and the original owner died of anger.

Even Ding Tian was scolded by the daughter-in-law of the boss of the Chen family for a while in the restaurant. If Ding Tian hadn't retorted and scolded their group of women away, he would have been scolded bloody.

Now...Ding Tian is wearing the work clothes of the cell boss, looking at the Gao family. There are not many Gao family members, from the old lady, to Gao Yuanwai and Mrs. Gao. It's still the girl next to Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao gave birth to a son, Mr. Gao, and a married Miss Gao. Where did she marry... It seems to be quite far away, I don't know the exact location.

Gao Yuanwai has been pampered for a long time, his body is fat, and he smiles very kindly, but his hands are very dark, and now he is very embarrassed.

Mr. Gao is also stupid, and Mrs. Gao, that is, Chen Mei, is also like a puppet.

The two were still newly married, and this happened to them, and the whole family was put in prison.

Ding Tian directly asked people to boil water, take a bath, and change clothes.

Everything was taken away, even the longevity lock on the child's neck, and the Gao family cried together.

The Chen family is amazing.

"This is mine!" The daughter-in-law of the boss of the Chen family, a well-known shrew, couldn't bear the silver hairpin on her head, the gold earrings on her ears, the gold ring on her hand, the big silver bracelet and so on.

"You are not allowed to take anything into the cell!" The maid in charge of the bath was much stronger than her, and several of them went to bed together, stripped naked, not even a bellyband was left, and immediately became honest.

Once a person is naked, there is no cover, and he will feel scared psychologically.

This is the case for Mrs. Chen. They took a hot bath like being scalded by someone, and rubbed their whole body. After rubbing a lot of mud, several servants curled their lips in disgust: "It's so dirty!"

After washing, they only have a pair of old and not old prison uniforms for them to wear. They keep warm and are very clean, but they are definitely not good-looking.

Then they will be detained separately, one place for men and one place for women.

They are mixed together with the Ma family, although they are separated, the men of the family have a cell, and the women have a cell... The men of the three families are okay, complaining to each other, but the women are different, scolding each other!

The most powerful one is Master Chen's shrew, with her sharp teeth and sharp mouth, she rolled her eyes when she scolded Master Ma's wife and concubine.

The old lady of the Gao family fainted with anger, because the old lady never thought that her grandson's daughter-in-law's natal old lady turned out to be such a good-for-nothing!

The old lady's intestines are going to regret it!

I didn't like this granddaughter-in-law at first, but now I hate her even more.

It was so noisy, and in the end the noisy servants couldn't stand it anymore, and responded to Ding Tian: "It's too noisy. The women's prison is originally compact, but now it's noisier than a chicken coop."

"I'll go and have a look." Ding Tian went over with the key.

They were crying and scolding over there: "Why is our old Chen's family so unlucky that we ended up with your Gao family, the family of the bereaved star! My daughter can't marry anyone, and your old Gao's family doesn't do anything about personnel, and you still drag our old Chen's family ...."

"Shut up!" Ding Tian sneered coldly: "If you continue to quarrel, you will have nothing to eat. Since you have the strength to quarrel, you are still full. You don't have dinner. If someone dares to give you a bite, that person The food is gone!" "Ding Tian, ​​you have a marriage contract with my Meizi..." Mr. Chen is worthy of being a shrew, and now he wants to start a relationship.

"The engagement has been broken, and your Meizi is now a member of the Gao family." Ding Tian looked at them, the disgust in his eyes almost turned into substance: "I'm very glad that I broke the engagement with your family."

"I..." Mrs. Chen still wanted to say something, but Mrs. Gao over there got excited: "Your girl, still wants to be married to someone else's boss Ding Xiaolong? Pull it down! A bereaved star, who takes the initiative to seduce men You bastard, my son was really unlucky, so he married your daughter to come in!"

Chen Mei's once high-spirited, now has become a cloud of the past, huddled in a corner, motionless, turning a deaf ear to her natal mother's abuse and her mother-in-law's insults to her.

Hearing that Ding Tian was coming, he raised his head and looked at Ding Tian pitifully.
