Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 2 The Zhen Family of Zhen Mi in "The Goddess of Luo River"
Zhang Sui looked at the scenes and said subconsciously: "The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets."

A man wearing ordinary complete clothes, about 1.6 meters tall and with a thin face was walking next to Zhang Sui.

After hearing Zhang Sui's words, he was a little surprised and asked, "You can also recite poems and compose essays?"

Only then did Zhang Sui withdraw his gaze from both sides of the street.

According to the memory of this body, this body is just an ordinary person and has never been to school.

He doesn't even know his own name.

However, Zhang Sui himself was very familiar with the history of the late Han Dynasty.

When I was in school, I played a lot of Three Kingdoms-style games.

When I got older, I looked up a lot of historical materials.

During the late Han Dynasty, the most commonly used writing system was Lishu, which can be roughly seen as traditional Chinese characters with a square or flat square shape.

Zhang Sui himself can't write.

However, when I was typing on the computer, for a long time I also liked to use Lishu.

Therefore, he recognized most of the characters written in Lishu script.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sui felt somewhat fortunate.

Because, according to historical records, the official script reached its peak in the late Han Dynasty.

Going forward, the small seal script was promoted.

Many of the small seal characters are pictographic. They look beautiful, but Zhang Sui basically cannot recognize them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sui said to the man: "I know basically everything. I can also do arithmetic."

This man is one of those "big guys".

Although it is clear at first glance that these "big and strong men" would not have a very high status in the so-called Zhen family.

But, at least for now, their status is higher than mine.

When you first arrive, show more of your abilities to others so that you can have more chances to be utilized.

People who are not qualified to be used will not have a good situation in this chaotic world.

When the man heard what Zhang Sui said, his eyes lit up slightly and he asked, "So you are still a poor scholar?"

Zhang Sui smiled without commenting.

Of course not.

According to the memory of this body, Zhang Sui's ancestors were farmers for generations.

However, in this land, since ancient times, there has been the class division of "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans".

Scholars are classified as "scholars".

People generally look up to "scholars".

Even a poor taxi driver will be given special attention.

The man clasped his fists towards Zhang Sui and said, "My name is Fang Agou, what is your name, sir?"

Zhang Sui was stunned.

Fang Agou?
Is there such a name?

A bit too casual.

Moreover, ever since Wang Mang, the "ancestor of time travelers," people have been proud to use single words when naming their children.

Zhang Sui quickly understood.

The so-called pride in one word refers to people who have a certain status.

Ordinary people cannot even recognize characters, so how can they possibly know the “unspoken rule” of “being proud of single characters”?
Zhang Sui had also seen ancient tombs from the late Han Dynasty unearthed in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, among which there were tombstones erected by craftsmen with two characters on them.

As for Agou, he is just a code name to the common people of this land.

Names like "Amao and Agou" were still used by people two thousand years later, especially in some remote rural areas.

Zhang Sui returned the greeting to Fang Agou and said, "Zhang Sui, I am from Yanmen."

Zhang Sui's body came from Yanmen Pass.

The area north of Yanmen Pass has been infested with nomadic peoples since ancient times.

They used to be Huns.

And now the Huns were being driven out by the Xianbei.

Xianbei people often appeared outside Yanmen Pass.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were successive years of famine, with starving people everywhere and people exchanging their own children for food.

The common people of Yanmen Pass were not spared either.

Moreover, the common people here were even more miserable. Not only did they have nothing to eat or drink because of the famine, but they also had to bear heavy taxes.

The generals guarding Yanmen Pass became more and more unscrupulous as the court's discipline collapsed.

Many generals simply confined the common people like sheep.

The common people did not dare to leave Yanmen Pass, as they might be slaughtered by the Xianbei people at any time.

Therefore, large numbers of ordinary people fled south in groups.

Zhang Sui's body fled here with the people in the town.

At Yanmen Pass today, it can be said that nine out of ten houses are empty, and there are hardly any people to be seen within a ten-mile radius.

Fang Agou obviously didn't know where Yanmen Pass was.

He did not argue and began to talk about how some of his ancestors had been officials.

Finally, the group arrived at an exceptionally large mansion.

The entire mansion was surrounded by high walls.

The wall is nearly three meters high and is inlaid with various sharp stone pieces.

From a distance, you can see several buildings, corridors, and stone pavilions inside the high walls.

You can even see fully dressed men and women walking around inside.

On the south side of the courtyard wall are two majestic gates.

Above the gate, there was a plaque with two large golden characters written on it: Zhen Mansion.

However, the "burly men" did not take Zhang Sui and his men in through the main gate.

Instead, he went around the gate and headed west.

Or maybe it was because he ate a piece of dry biscuit, Zhang Sui's energy was restored a lot. At this time, looking at the two big words "Zhen Mansion", he remembered that the place he was currently in seemed to be called Wuji County.

Moreover, the time seems to be the first year of Xingping.

This body doesn't even know who the current emperor is!
But since it is the first year of Xingping, the emperor now is the famous Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, in history.

Then think of the Zhen Mansion.

Zhang Sui felt a little surprised.

Isn’t this the home of the goddess Zhen Mi in Cao Zhi’s “The Goddess of Luo River”?

Moreover, at this point in time, Zhen Mi should not be very old, only about ten years old!

I didn’t expect that after traveling through time, I would go directly into Zhen Mi’s house!
Regarding Zhen Mi's beauty, in addition to the utmost praise in Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of Luo River", there are also rumors among the people: There is Zhen in the north and the two Qiao sisters in the south.

This is enough to show how beautiful Zhen Mi was.

However, soon, as Zhang Sui followed the "burly men" to a small back door on the west wall of the courtyard and was driven in, he calmed down.

Now I am just a servant at the lowest level.

Even if I saw Zhen Mi's beauty, what would it matter?
To me now, Zhen Mi is like the goddess in "The Goddess of Luo River", who can only be admired from afar.

The only thing I have to do now is to find a way to survive by relying on the Zhen family, and to slowly improve my status.

As for women's matters, they are not within the scope of consideration.

Don’t say that Zhen Mi is just beautiful.

Even if Zhen Mi is really a fairy, it has nothing to do with me.

After Zhang Sui entered the Zhen Mansion from the back, he was arranged to live there.

It is called a residence, but in fact it is more like a woodshed.

There are various firewoods in the room.

The ground of the open space was covered with hay.

Not even a plank of wood.

There were four other refugees sharing a room with Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui was discussing their respective "hay beds" with them when Fang Agou came to the door and asked Zhang Sui to follow him.

Finally, he took Zhang Sui to another woodshed.

The difference is that there are three wooden boards on the ground here.

The wooden planks were covered with hay.

The three wooden boards were covered with taken-off clothes, which emitted a foul smell.

Fang Agou took a few clothes from one wooden bed and threw them on another one. Then he said to Zhang Sui, "This is where I live. You will live with me from now on."
