Chapter 80 I'm not sick!

When he came back from the iron shop, Ma Chao was so tired that his whole body seemed to be scattered. His sweat soaked his clothes and pasted it stickyly on his body: If it hadn't been for his special physique, his body would have recovered quickly. Then change to a general sick number and go there for a walk. Maybe you will hang up a long time ago!

The old slave looked at Ma Chao's tired look and felt distressed for a burst of time. He is preparing to carefully serve Ma Chao to change his clothes and wash. But Ma Chao is a little reluctant: At least we are also a big prince. Although we don't want to be luxurious and rotten, we have to have a little beauty to serve, right? Ma Chao was indescribably uncomfortable to let an old man dry his hands and feet.

Respect the old! Do you understand?

Maybe it was lucky. Before the old slave undressed Ma Chao, he heard someone outside the door call, "Has Chaoer ever fallen asleep?"

"But aunt?" Ma Chao heard the voice, hurriedly answered and opened the door to let Liu come in.

Liu didn't come alone this time. Behind her, she was accompanied by a little maid in an ephedra dress. The little girl was about 14 or 15 years old. Her tight dress set off her figure was convex and concave. Under the two curved willow leaf eyebrows, a pair of big watery eyes, there was actually some panic and uneasiness.

"Auntie, is this?" Ma Chao asked, but his heart was already boiling: Isn't it that Liu wants to give him a best little maid?!

"Oh, this, aunt... When my aunt saw that Chao'er's life was simple and cold, she couldn't take good care of herself when she was sick. This little maidservant has been with me for three years, but she is obedient and sensible. If Chao's child doesn't give up..." Maybe he was still a little unfamiliar with Ma Chao. When he called himself 'aunt', he also took a look at Ma Chao and was relieved to see Ma Chao's respectful and kind look. And the next words, the more fluent they are.

"No dislike, no dislike. Oh, no, it's Chao'er who thanked her aunt for taking care of her. Although Ma Chao has rushed from the Blood Sea Bone Mountain several times, after all, he has not experienced this kind of enjoyment of the second generation of officials. For a while, he actually lost some ground.

And when Liu saw that Ma Chao was so formal and interesting, he couldn't help smiling, but his heart was much more secure: the child accepted his kindness and looked so grateful. He must have remembered his kindness very much... This child was not like this before. Fortunately, a month ago, I thought the child wanted to satirize himself in a different way, but I didn't think that the child really got better...

Before Ma Chao, he regarded Liu as a hostile chieftain, either indifferent or insulting. And Ma Chao is excellent in martial arts and has a cold personality, which can even support the hope of Xiliang. Therefore, Ma Teng did not dare to reprimand Ma Chao too much. Liu had no choice but to stay away from Ma Chao. Fortunately, Ma Chao didn't care about Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Ma Yunlu, and also guided the martial arts of these three siblings.

But a family can't always be like that. Liu's heart was also painful when he heard that Ma Chao was assassinated. Unexpectedly, Ma Chao took the initiative to say good to himself. At that moment, although Liu was gratified, he still couldn't believe the moody Ma Chao.

This time, before I came, I held the thought of making Ma Chao sarcastic again and wanted to make up with Ma Chao, but I didn't expect that the child is really better now, and he is not only very respectful and courteous to himself. Well, with women's intuition, Liu also feels that Ma Chao is really kind to himself.

This made Liu very happy, and naturally there were more words. Ma Chao listened and occasionally said a few words.

"Don't be polite. If this little maid doesn't like it, there are still some smart maids..." Liu sat in Ma Chao's room and looked around Ma Chao's decoration: "Chao'er's life is also very simple. Although we are not a big hope family, after all, after all, the Ma family is General Fubo. You are also General Zhao Wu of the fifth grade of the imperial court. How can you..."

Ma Chao didn't hear Liu's last words, but just interrupted and asked, "Auntie, how many slaves do you have? Well, my aunt used to be at my mother's house. How many... Male slaves and female slaves?

Ma Chao was really not clear about the name of the slaves in the Han Dynasty, so he had to ask tentatively.

"Oh, Chaoer asked those guests and shade households, right?" Liu was not angry at Ma Chao's interruption at all. How can a sincere family speak so politely? Ma Chao can really make friends with himself like this.

In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period of the Qin and Han Dynasties, male slaves were called mascumen and female slaves were maidservants. Ma Chao and Liu talked about this in front of the little maid, which actually hurt people's self-esteem. But at this time, Ma Chao just wanted to know the current situation of those slaves in the Han Dynasty from Liu's mouth. There was nothing he could do but give the little maid an apologetic look. But the little maid was so scared that she took a step back, which made Ma Chao extremely depressed.

Although my mother's family is not the first hopeful family in Beida County, there are also nearly 1,000 slaves and maidservants in the family. When I married your father, my concubine also had dozens of maids and hundreds of strong men. However, your father put all those strong men in the army. Many of the captains and captains in Xiliang's iron riding are the concubine's companions at the beginning. Although Liu didn't know why Ma Chao asked these questions, he picked up what he knew and told Ma Chao.

After listening to this, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring: but he didn't expect that there were so many slaves in the late Han Dynasty, that is to say, the slavery had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts. It seems that it's okay to make small troubles. If you rashly become the vanguard of human rights, you will definitely be attacked by those scholars and there will be no place to die!

Thinking about it, I remember that it was also mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that when Liu Bei was in Xuzhou in his early years, there were "ten thousand concubines" and slaves. When Mi Zhu gave his sister to Liu Bei as his wife, he also used 2,000 slaves and a large amount of gold and silver currency as makeup. At that time, Liu Bei was honest and a downtrodden warlord. He didn't want to get funding from Mi, but he actually "reed on this to revive"!

In this case, Ma Chao has made a plan in his mind. However, Ma Chao is still not clear about the origin of these slaves. Therefore, I couldn't help asking Liu again. I thought that Liu's wife didn't know this, but I didn't expect that Liu was not the kind of fool who didn't go out of the door and said it in an orderly way.

"The main source of these guests is prisoners of war. In troubled times, in addition to the fact that the head can lead the army, the living prisoners of war are also the achievements of war; the second is the official prisoners, the family members of the official prisoners and the slaves and maidservants originally owned by the official prisoners; finally, they bought them from the slave market.

After listening to this, Ma Chao immediately understood why Brother Chou could find the craftsman and the farmer so quickly. It turned out that as long as he went to the slave market for a walk, those slaves had everything. And the slaves in his iron shop were probably bought by Han Feng from the slave market.

"After reading some history books, my aunt also knows that these slaves and maidservants are much better than before. Even if these slaves and maidservants make mistakes, although we masters can whip and punish at will, we can no longer kill without authorization and can only sell them. Nowadays, large families also regard tenants as private property, showing their wealth and prestige with the number of tenants. Liu didn't know why Ma Chao would be interested in the topic of tama, but at this time she was happy. Since Ma Chao was willing to listen to these, she also talked more.

And when Ma Chao heard this, he felt a little better. He raised his eyes and looked at the little maid sent to him by Liu.

And Liu saw Ma Chao like this and thought that Ma Chao was at this age of curiosity about the opposite sex, so he got up and left with a smile...

'Auntie, come back, it's not what you think... I just want to, well, I really want to... But I'm sick now, er... No, I'm not sick!' Ma Chao finally saw Liu's smile and couldn't help talking nonsense in his heart.
