The scholars with thorough of knowledge, the thing that must study are too many, the time to them is very precious, many trivial matters in learn/study life will lose the study schedule, therefore needs some people to help manage these trivial matters, spares more time to be used in the learn/study. 读书人随着学问的深入,要学的东西太多,时间对他们来说是很珍贵的,学习生活中的很多琐事会耽误学习时间,所以就需要有人来帮忙操持这些琐事,腾出更多的时间来用于学习。 Book child occupation, arose at the historic moment like this. 书童这种职业,就这样应运而生了。 With the view of Yun Jing previous generation, the book child is equivalent to the secretary on life and work, is the relational hierarchy. 用云景前世的说法,书童相当于生活和工作上的秘书,是上下级关系。 Here upper and lower layer, said strictly is the master and servant relates, but this master and servant relate distinguish between the common master and servant relations, in many situations is more like the friend, even can treat as the whole family it, in brief, how to regard the book child, must look at individual. 这里的上下级,严格的说是主仆关系,但这种主仆关系又区别于寻常的主仆关系,很多情况下更像是朋友,甚至可以将其当做一家人,总之,如何看待书童,还是要看个人。 Between scholars and book children, with the growth of age, if has been maintaining such relations, the knowledge and achievement of scholar are higher, the position of book child can also , as when production costs rise, prices rise too. 读书人和书童之间,随着年龄的增长,如果一直维持着这样的关系的话,读书人的学问和成就越高,书童的地位也会随着水涨船高。 Moreover, because the book child is constantly together regarding the habits and customs of scholar is very familiar, often to finally, the scholar got married and began a career, that book child will usually hold the post of steward such position, after all knows the whole story, moreover with conveniently...... 而且,因为书童对于读书人的生活习惯在朝夕相处中无比熟悉,往往到最后,读书人成家立业了,那个书童通常都会担任管家这样的职位,毕竟知根知底,而且用得顺手…… The master and disciple return to the dwelling by the ox cart, what book child although on the way Yun Jing the curious master arranged to oneself, but bears curiously had not asked, quick will know. 师徒俩乘牛车回住处,途中云景虽然好奇师父给自己安排了个什么样的书童,但都忍住好奇没有问,很快就会知道了。 Is the male is female? 是男是女？ Eh, under normal conditions, not female works as the book child, maid also almost...... 额,通常情况下,没有女的给人当书童吧,贴身丫鬟还差不多…… The ox cart drives to the main road by-pass time, there, Zhao manager of master Li Qiu has waited here, his side, but also well-mannered is standing a boy. 牛车驶到大路分路的时候,那里,师父李秋家的赵管事已经等候在此,他的身边,还规规矩矩的站着一个男孩。 That boy 11 or 12-year-old appearance, is much longer. 那个男孩十一二岁的样子,长得一般。 Yun Jing guesses that he should be the master to the book child who oneself arrange, is a male, is expected the matter. 云景猜他应该就是师父给自己安排的书童了,是个男的,预料中的事情。 „Master, the person I brought to you”, Zhao manager goes forward to say. “老爷,人我给你带来了”,赵管事上前道。 Li Qiu nods saying: „Un, you first go back” 李秋点点头说:“嗯,你先回去吧” After Zhao manager and others walk, Li Qiu said: „Walks, first returned to the dwelling to say again” 在赵管事和其他人走后,李秋道:“走,先回住处再说” Yun Jing takes a look at that boy time, the opposite party is also sizing up Yun Jing secretly, to him , is going to be together if as expected a long time with Yun Jing, even may also be matter for a lifetime, although said that these words are somewhat strange, but is actually the fact. 云景打量那个男孩的时候,对方也在偷偷打量云景,对他来说,如果不出意外,将要和云景相处很长一段时间,甚至还有可能是一辈子的事情,虽然说这句话有些怪怪的,但却是事实。 Three people along the courtyard that the alley returns. 三人沿小路回到住的院子。 Quick one meter Three Highs little white, first has stepped the walking smoothly with toes outward to run over toward Yun Jing, throat inside makes cluck the sound. 已经快一米三高的小白,第一时间就迈着八字步朝着云景跑了过来,喉咙里面发出咕咕的声音。 At this time, with boy who Yun Jing they came back, the complexion changed, called out in alarm careful, then took a step to rush to front rapidly, a face vigilant looks at little white, but also made the movement of attack. 这个时候,跟着云景他们回来的男孩,脸色一变,惊呼一声小心,然后飞速迈步跑到前面,一脸警惕的看着走来的小白,还作出了攻击的动作。 Facing such a stranger, little white stops the footsteps immediately, has a fit of bad temper slightly, a pair of wing opens, made the movement of attack, in the throat makes the deterrent sound, let alone, is very scary. 面对这样一个陌生人,小白当即停下脚步,微微炸毛,一双翅膀张开,也作出了攻击的动作,喉咙里发出威慑性的声音,别说,挺唬人的。 But this, the front boy has not made way even if as before half step. 可纵使这样,前面的男孩依旧没有让开半步。 At this time Li Qiu patted the shoulder of that boy saying: „Do not fear, relaxing, this is my disciple Little Jing raises, does not offend somebody” 此时李秋拍了拍那男孩的肩膀说:“别怕,放松,这是我徒儿小景养的,不伤人” The boys turn head, is astonished, the heart said that such bird of prey, unexpectedly raises? But nods, relaxed slightly vigilantly. 男孩回头,一脸愕然,心说这样的猛禽,居然是养的？但还是哦了一声点点头,稍微放松了警惕。 Yun Jing said with a smile: „Do not fear, little white is very clever”, saying, he beckons to say to little white: „Comes, little white, knows the new friend, what did he...... the volume...... you call?” 云景笑道:“别怕,小白很乖的”,说着,他对小白招手道:“来来来,小白,认识一下新朋友,他……额……你叫什么？” The following words, Yun Jing is asking that boy. 后面的话,云景是问那个男孩。 The opposite party salute to say respectfully: „Returns to the Young Master cloud words, I called Song Yan, you called me Xiaoyan little Song” 对方恭恭敬敬的行礼道:“回云少爷的话,我叫宋岩,你叫我小岩小宋都可以” The first few words that after this is he and Yun Jing meets, speaks. 这是他和云景见面之后说的第一句话。 „Song Yan”, nods, Yun Jing said: „little white, is this Bald Eagle, is not considered as that I raises, but relates with me very well, similar friend, comes here frequently, do not fear, it passes very much humane” “宋岩”,点点头,云景说:“小白,就是这只白头鹰,不算是我养的,但和我关系很好,类似朋友吧,经常来我这里,你不要怕,它很通人性的” At this time little white also received the attack position, arrived at side Yun Jing, rubbed him, then tilted the head somewhat curiously as if looks at Song Yan this stranger. 此时小白也收起了攻击姿势,来到云景身边,蹭了蹭他,然后歪头似乎有些好奇的看着宋岩这个陌生人。 Li Qiu said: „Jing'er, he is the book child who I give you to arrange, you first are familiar” 李秋道:“景儿,他就是我给你安排的书童,你们先熟悉一下” Then, Li Qiu selfish taking a step entered the room to go, left the space that two people were familiar with alone. 说完,李秋自顾自的迈步进屋去了,单独留给两人熟悉的空间。 After Li Qiu walks, Song Yan lowers the head slightly does not speak, does not seem to know how to exchange with Yun Jing. 在李秋走后,宋岩微微低头不说话,似乎不知道如何与云景交流。 Yun Jing makes little white play at the same time, then under arrives at the stone table in courtyard to be implicated, then said: „Song Yan, were you big? Where lives in? Why will come to work as the book child?” 云景让小白自己一边玩儿去,然后走到院子里的石桌旁坐下,回头道:“宋岩,你多大了？家住哪里？为何会来当书童的？” These basic information, are some necessity understanding. 这些基本信息,还是有必要了解的。 Song Yan well-mannered reply: „Returns to the Young Master cloud words, my 12 years old......” , he one continued to say at this point: „I do not have the family/home, five -year-old time, in the family/home the decorative band over a curtain, the family members did not have, I alone lived, after the family/home did not have, I go begging everywhere, am fortunate enough to run into Zhao manager, his heart is good, not only eats to me, but also leads me to the master family/home, does the matter that sweeps sprinkles to make a food to eat to get by, Zhao manager is very good to me, frequently teaches me to study to be literate, I also calculate to have just the rudiments of writing, the master makes Zhao manager arrange a book child to Young Master cloud, he recommended me and several other people, after the master inspects, I was brought. Can here, as for become the Young Master cloud book child, but must you nod finally” 宋岩规规矩矩的回答道:“回云少爷的话,我十二岁了……”,说到这里,他顿了一下继续道:“我没有家,五岁的时候,家里走水,家人都没了,就我一个人活了下来,家没了之后,我四处乞讨,幸得遇到赵管事,他心好,不但给我吃的,还把我带到老爷家里,做些扫洒的事情挣口饭吃得以度日,赵管事对我很好,经常教我读书识字,我也算粗通文墨,老爷让赵管事给云少爷安排一个书童,他推荐了我和其他几个人,得老爷考核后,我被带来了这里,至于能不能成为云少爷的书童,还得你最终点头” Without the family/home, since childhood is the servant in the master family/home, was knew the whole story, wants to come Zhao manager is not not possible to scuffle to master's instruction, deciding was the process thinks, in the Yun Jing heart nodded secretly. 没有家,从小在师父家做下人,也算是知根知底了,想来赵管事对师父的吩咐不可能敷衍了事,定是经过深思熟虑的,云景心中暗自点头。 Then said: „Sorry, raised your painful event” 然后道:“对不起,提起你的伤心事了” „Does not have Young Master cloud of relations, so many years pass by, I have seen through”, Song Yan shakes the head to say. “没关系的云少爷,这么多年过去,我已经看开了”,宋岩摇摇头道。 Shifted the topic, Yun Jing said: „You know that what things the book child does want to handle?” 转移话题,云景说:“你知道书童要做些什么事情吗？” „Zhao manager has taught me, the young master studies, I help grind ink, reorganize the books manuscript wait/etc, along with the time, is usually helping the young master arrange the board and lodging, in the situation in obtaining the young master agreeing with, when reminded the young master to make anything, if went out, I must to the young master with the thing, arrange the board and lodging wait/etc, did not make the young master worry for these trivial matters , protected young master's safety momentarily, when necessary, I must stand to give the young master to keep off the blade, other, anything, young master by all means instruction” Song Yan earnest replied. “赵管事教过我的,少爷学习的时候,我帮忙磨墨,整理书籍书稿等等,随时候着,平时帮少爷安排食宿,在取得少爷同意的情况下,提醒少爷什么时候该做什么,若是外出,我得给少爷拿东西,安排食宿等等,不让少爷为这些琐事操心,还有,随时保护少爷的安全,必要的时候,我得站出来给少爷挡刀,其他的话,任何事情,少爷只管吩咐”宋岩认认真真的回答道。 The sentiment has trained specially...... 感情还是专门培训过的…… Then before Yun Jing thinks of him, quick movement, curious asking: „Have you practiced martial arts?” 然后云景想到他之前敏捷的动作,又好奇的问:“你练过武？” „Is the young master, Zhao manager after was giving shelter to me initially, sees me to feel sorry, to let me was not bullied, teaches me to have practiced martial arts, until now, I practiced martial arts have seven years......”, said here, Song Yan, thinks saying: „Did not fear that the young master laughs at me to be arrogant, although I have not obtained Zhao manager true line, but master family's more than ten protect in the institute, I should want fiercely compared with majority......” “是的少爷,赵管事在当初收留我之后,见我可怜,为了让我不受欺负,有教过我练武,到如今,我练武已经有七个年头了……”,说道这里,宋岩顿了一下,想了想道:“不怕少爷笑话我自大,虽然我没得到赵管事的真传,但老爷家里的十多个护院里面,我应该比大多数都要厉害……” As if fears the Yun Jing misunderstanding, he hurried and said: „In master family/home protects the institute, my these years watch, they mostly are only the assignment that it treats as to keep a family, usually is negligent in the practice, I practice martial arts, is thinks that many craftsmanship, becomes outstanding my such status unable to think, but always feels better gets by for a lifetime at a loss, therefore is usually very assiduous, has the time I to practice Zhao manager to teach my these martial arts” 似乎怕云景误会,他赶紧又说:“老爷家里的很多护院,我这些年都看在眼里,他们大多是都只是将其当做养家糊口的差事,平时疏于练习,我练武,是想多一门手艺,出人头地我这样的身份不敢想,但总好过一辈子茫然度日,所以平时很刻苦,一有时间我就练赵管事教我的那些武功” Can look, his was selling itself vigorously. 看得出来,他这是在极力推销自己了。 Yun Jing asked the last issue, said: „Can you be able to provide lodging your words and deeds?” 云景问了最后一个问题,道:“你能管得住自己的言行吗？” The book child, must be constantly together in the final analysis, after being familiar, in the future on will be at variance with the place of opposite party average man definitely to know, although there is no shameful, but Yun Jing to does not like being propagandized everywhere. 书童,说到底是要朝夕相处的,熟悉之后,将来自己身上很多异于常人之处对方肯定都会知道一些,虽然没什么见不得人的,但云景可不喜欢被到处宣传。 „Young Master cloud felt relieved, my mouth is very solid, should say should not say that my heart have several”, Song Yan hurrying replied. “云少爷放心,我嘴巴很严实,该说的不该说的,我心头有数”,宋岩赶紧回答道。 We hope that Yun Jing has not so requested the opposite party to take an oath and so on, in the final analysis, if the opposite party will do in the future not well, can resign momentarily. 希望如此吧,云景也没要求对方赌咒发誓之类的,说到底,若是将来对方做得不好,随时可以辞退。 Nods, Yun Jing said: „Words such being the case, you stay behind” 点点头,云景道:“既然如此的话,你就留下吧” „Multi- Young Master Xie Yun”, Song Yan immediately pleasantly surprised say/way. “多谢云少爷”,宋岩当即惊喜道。 About the matter of book child, was set, temporarily, as for the future, who can talk clearly. 关于书童的事情,算是就这么定下了,暂时的,至于将来,谁说得清楚呢。 At this time Li Qiu appearance, said to Song Yan ‚exactly’: „Since Jing'er complying has made you stay behind, later works well, do not disappoint old Zhao to your expectation” 这时李秋‘恰好’出现,对宋岩道:“既然景儿已经答应让你留下,以后就好好做事,不要辜负了老赵对你的一番期望” „Master felt relieved, I do certainly well”, a Song Yan face earnest say/way. “老爷放心,我一定好好干”,宋岩一脸认真道。 Nods, Li Qiu said: „Un, what Jing'er lives is near the right hand in a room, you build a bed in the outside, bedding ready-made, will wait for some people to send the bed, you first will reorganize” 点点头,李秋说:“嗯,景儿住的是右手边里面间屋子,你就在外间撘个床铺吧,被褥都是现成的,等下会有人将床送来,你先去整理一下” „Good master, my goes”, replied one, Song Yan turns around to depart to reorganize. “好的老爷,我这就去”,回答一声,宋岩转身离去整理去了。 After he walks, Li Qiu puts out a contract that stamps the hand imprint, gives Yun Jing saying: „Jing'er, this you receive, is the Song Yan indenture of sale of person into servitude, he voluntary bamboo slip, the government authorities had filed initially, I know that you usually do not like these things, but the custom is the custom, in brief you look at the office” 在他走后,李秋拿出一张盖有手印的契约,递给云景道:“景儿,这个你收好,是宋岩的卖身契,他当初自愿签的,官府备案过,我知道你平时不喜欢这些东西,但规矩就是规矩,总之你看着办吧” Gawked slightly, Yun Jing received, this was the ancient society...... 微微愣了一下,云景还是接了过来,这就是古代社会…… Sizes up the contract slightly, Song Yan signs unexpectedly is not the servant agreement, but is! 稍微打量契约,宋岩签的居然不是仆契,而是奴契！ The servant in this world, is divided into the slave and servant. 这个世界的下人,分为奴与仆。 The servants, usually refer to that employment relations, both sides are in some sense equal, either one is discontented with the other side, can terminate this relations momentarily. 仆人,通常是指那种雇佣关系,双方某种意义上是平等的,任何一方对另一方不满,都能随时解除这种关系。 But slave, was the private property of main family, the main family did not agree, is unable to terminate this relations, even if kills the government authorities not to inquire him. 而奴,则是主家的私人财产了,主家不同意,是无法解除这种关系的,纵然是将其打杀官府都不会过问。 The slave is inexpensive record/native place, is unable to attend the imperial civil service examination, the status and refugee are equivalent, once becomes the escaping slave, will be treated as the refugee to process, the fate is very pitiful. 奴是贱籍,无法参加科举的,身份和流民相当,一旦成为逃奴,会被当做流民处理,下场很凄惨。 Sells into servitude for the slave, usually no one is unless it is absolutely essential willing such to do, once sells into servitude for the slave, oneself, own child, child's child, the generation after generations will shoulder the inexpensive Ji's destiny, are others' private properties, do not live as one pleases...... 卖身为奴,通常不到万不得已没有人愿意那样做,一旦卖身为奴,自己,自己的孩子,孩子的孩子,生生世世都将背负贱籍的命运,是别人的私人财产,生不由己…… In other words, now Yun Jing takes Song Yan the indenture of sale of person into servitude, in some sense, controlled the Song Yan future destiny! 也就是说,现在云景拿着宋岩的这张卖身契,某种意义上,是掌握了宋岩未来的命运！ On the other hand, initially Song Yan five years old, were with one's family broken up and decimated, can have a place that gives shelter to the life was good, which can also pick? 话说回来,当初宋岩五岁,家破人亡,能有一个收留活命的地方就不错了,哪儿还能挑三拣四？ This matter, is the background product, before Yun Jing, is only has not met, but has heard, he is also incapable of changing such phenomenon, wants to change, is as good to overthrow the system of the whole world, that was the whole world is an enemy! 这种事情,是时代背景的产物,云景以前只是没遇到而已,但听说过,他也无力改变这样的现象,想要改变,不亚于去推翻整个世界的制度,那就是和整个世界为敌了！ In fact not, must look at the attitude of main family, is happy, the contract is only a scrap paper, is sad, this is thing awfully...... 实际上奴契不奴契,还是要看主家的态度,心情好,契约只是一张废纸,心情不好,这就是要命的玩意……
