    Standing at the gate leading to the second courtyard, Zheng Peipei, Luo Liu and Luo Chunxi exchanged a few words before continuing to walk into the courtyard.

    The reaction of the Luo Liu family and her daughter who were following her at this moment was like that of Grandma Liu in the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions" when she entered the Grand View Garden for the first time in another time and space.

    ?According to the modern language description of another time and space, it is the country capital.

    There is nothing in the first yard, it still looks very ordinary.

    However, when you enter the second gate, that is, after arriving at the second courtyard, everything becomes different.

    As soon as you enter the door, you are faced with a large pond.

    In the center of the pond, there is a small octagonal pavilion.  There are rows of big red pillars all around the courtyard, and a corridor is built around the entire perimeter.

    Looking up, there are oil paintings on the ceiling of the corridor that symbolize auspiciousness.

    On the surface of the pond, there are fluffy lotus leaves floating, and there are carp swimming slowly and leisurely in the clear water.

    There is even a small rockery in the pond.

    In the corridor, not far away, stood a dark-skinned black maid wearing a European-style tutu from the early eighteenth century.

    After they saw Zheng Peipei, they all stood there and saluted her one after another.

    The small pond in this yard alone would cost a lot of money to build.

    However, there is more to this courtyard than just a small pond and an octagonal pavilion.

    There are three large rooms in three directions.

    These three rooms have been opened, and you can directly enter the third courtyard, as well as the small courtyards on the left and right sides.

    Although she hadn¡¯t gone in yet, Mrs. Luo Liu took a rough look outside and found that it was full of brand new and smooth furniture.  It was even more beautiful and exquisite than the decorations in the landlord's house that she had seen before.

    Thinking about it, the room in the front is used to entertain guests.

    And the rooms on the left and right sides, judging from their layout, should be the lady¡¯s study and tea drinking area.

    Although Luo Liu is a farmer, she has also seen landlords in the village.

    therefore.  It can't be said that she has no knowledge at all.

    Of course, her little knowledge is far behind compared to the women of Chinese descent in the Song Empire.

    That gap cannot be viewed normally at all.

    ¡°Master, it¡¯s getting late now. Do you need dinner?¡±

    Just as Mrs. Luo Liu and her daughter Luo Chunxi were looking at the surrounding environment like rustics, a black maid came over with her head lowered, stood still about one meter away from Zheng Peipei, and then used a strange  He asked her in a strange tone.

    Zheng Peipei nodded: "Well, it's really late now. Let someone prepare dinner. By the way, prepare hot water. After dinner, I want to take a hot bath."

    Although this is an evil old society, there are many places where it is necessary to complain.

    However, now that we have come to this era, we must adapt to some things here.

    Therefore, as a member of the military group, Zheng Peipei.  There is nothing objectionable in my heart about using slaves.

    Besides, although Zheng Peipei is a girl who has just turned eighteen, as a member of the imperial military group, she actually has a little bit of Chinese chauvinism in her bones.

    It was said that these black women were sold to the Americas, and the owner like her didn't know how lucky was it.

    ¡°At least, although I won¡¯t give them a good look, I won¡¯t let them starve either.

    Of the three meals a day, one of them must be meat or vegetables.

    The rice is still open and eaten casually.

    Such food conditions are better than those of some European and Indian farmers on the East Coast.  But it is extremely strong.

    Of course, the slaves in the hands of Chinese descendants in the empire basically have a good life.

    At the same time, you won¡¯t get beaten easily because of trivial things.

    Like those wealthy people in Europe or Arabia.  He settled here in the Song Empire and purchased a lot of land for development.

    The slaves these people bought lived a very different life.

    Beating and scolding are commonplace. If you don¡¯t get beaten one day, it will be a new thing.

    The master will beat you when he is happy, and he will beat you when he is unhappy.

    ¡°In short, you just can¡¯t get better.

    ?According to those people¡¯s ideas, the slaves they bought were inferior to animals.?Almost less.

    Even worse than animals.

    The Song Empire was open to wealthy people from Europe or the Arab world.

    It¡¯s very easy to immigrate.

    Buying land is not that difficult.

    ¡°For the empire anyway, these people can¡¯t make any big waves at all.

    ¡°As long as we control them and prevent them from entering government departments, that¡¯s it.

    If you want to enjoy life, come to the American Song Empire.

    As long as you have money, you will definitely live comfortably here.

    After all, the Song Empire has many unique products in the world because of the use of cheats.

    For those wealthy people who like to enjoy themselves, America is really very attractive.

    At the same time, they came to America to buy land, and they also bought large numbers of black slaves themselves, so they could reclaim the land without going through the imperial government, which saved the government a lot of trouble.

    ¡°If these people dare to do something that shakes the empire, then the empire will definitely suppress these people and then confiscate all the land they spent their efforts and money on.

    ¡°Well, slaves will also be confiscated.

    It is with this in mind that on the east coast, Zhang Tie formulated many policies to attract wealthy people to immigrate.

    Poor little lambs, they don¡¯t know that they are a fat sheep and they have been targeted.

    In short, for the black slaves who were trafficked to the Americas, it was crucial to which ethnic group their masters were.  Because this is absolutely related to whether their future survival is good or not.

    It would be a blessing to fall into the hands of the Chinese descendants of the empire.

    ¡°You work ten hours a day, and the rest of the time you can lie down in the big house for the slaves.

    Three meals a day are enough.

    Even the slaves purchased by Chinese descendants felt that life here was like being in heaven.

    Yes, slaves in the hands of Chinese descendants.  That¡¯s the idea.

    They feel that being slaves is better than their previous lives in their home tribes in Africa.

    Anyway, they only need to work for an hour a day, and then they can lie in bed.

    Therefore, many "slave traitors" emerged among the black slave group.

    These so-called ¡®slave traitors¡¯ are actually quite plain.  Those who performed well among the slaves were valued and promoted by their masters, and then given the title of slave leader to manage a small group of slaves.

    Like their companions, these people were originally sold to the Americas as slaves. As soon as they became small bosses, they began to bully their former slave companions.

    They are to their masters.  That is definitely the ultimate level of egg care.

    ??They can handle the things the master tells them properly and will not bore the master at all.

    And, more and more such people are emerging among the black slaves.

    The most famous one is Manhattan on the East Coast.  The black slave housekeeper next to Zhao Hongyu's father-in-law.

    And here in Zheng Peipei, there are also several such female black slaves.

    It is precisely for this reason that Zheng Peipei feels disgusted with them from the bottom of her heart.

    However, after all, these people can do their jobs well, and at the same time, they also need someone to serve and take care of their family affairs.

    Therefore, Zheng Peipei can only endure it for the time being.

    It¡¯s better now, brought by immigrants from the Ming Dynasty.  This gave Zheng Peipei a new choice.

    She has no feeling of rejection towards the women of Ming Dynasty, and she is relatively close to them from the bottom of her heart.

    Therefore, it is most appropriate to choose a Ming Dynasty woman to be your housekeeper.

    After all, they are from the same species, so there is no generation gap in language.

    The most important thing is that the women of Ming Dynasty don¡¯t have that heavy body odor.

    This is what Zheng Peipei values ??most.

    Yes, the black female slaves in Zheng Peipei¡¯s house all choose young and beautiful slaves.  But they all have that heavy body odor on their bodies, which makes Zheng Peipei really intolerable.

    But.  If she didn't buy black slaves, would it be difficult for her to clean such a big house by herself?

    This is simply impossible.

    Let alone cleaning it, just staying here alone at night would scare you to death.

    In such a big home, there are always people in need.

    But.  You can't always be surrounded by a bunch of maids with body odor.

     So, the appearance of Luo Liushi and Luo Chunxi made Zheng Peipei extremely happy.

    This is why Zheng Peipei decided to let Miss Luo Chunxi be his personal maid.

    Without it, there is no smell on the body.

    "You guys come with me. You get to know me a little bit today, and tomorrow I'll have someone take you around the house to get acquainted with me. From now on, you can manage the house, but you have to be more dedicated."

    When Mrs. Luo Liu saw Zheng Peipei, she really decided to let herself be the housekeeper in the future.

    So, she no longer refused.

    ¡°Besides, being a housekeeper is always better than being a mother.

    Being a housekeeper of a wealthy family is a very honorable thing to do when you go out.

    Especially if the host family has a high status, then being a housekeeper also has a high status.

    "Everything is according to the lady's instructions."

    Since he can't change Zheng Peipei's intention, he can only accept this fact and get into the state as soon as possible.

    Zheng Peipei took Luo Liu and Luo Chunxi to the front room leading to the third courtyard.

    Along the way, four or five black maids followed them.

    "According to your Ming Dynasty, these maids are all Kunlun slaves." Zheng Peipei said to Luo Liu.  "You will be in charge of them from now on, but sometimes they don't understand what they say, so you need to be more patient when you tell them to do things."

    Ms. Luo Liu lowered her head and followed Zheng Peipei, silently remembering what she said.

    At the same time, she thought to herself: Oh, it turns out these dark women are Kunlun slaves.  It turns out that he is really just like the legend, he looks so dark
