Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 16 A Formal Family Banquet Inadvertently Facilitated
Chapter No.16 The Formal Family Banquet Inadvertently Facilitated
After tossing for a long time, Li Yu saw that it was almost dusk, and urged:
"When will those food be good, Lord Ben Lang is starving."

Wang Kexin heard the words and immediately turned to Xia Zhu:

"Go on, Lord Lang is hungry, prepare some food."

"promise"

Seeing Xia Zhu leave, Li Yu started to have a headache again, why?

This Tang Dynasty is good everywhere, but the only thing about eating is melancholy.

The variety of food is frighteningly simple. It is almost either boiled or stewed, and nothing but salt is put in it, which is very boring.
Fortunately, there is barbecue, but the same is true of barbecue, except for salt, but eating barbecue is better than eating boiled meat.

Li Yu's body was in the fastest growing period. After a while, he was digested again, and he was very hungry.

So Li Yu can eat four or five meals a day, unlike Datang people, who eat two or three meals a day.

Since Li Yu wanted to open, he was almost hungry and had to eat, no matter the time, of course he was the largest and most honorable in this county man's mansion.

Now, the kitchen in the front yard is staffed almost all day long. As long as you explain it, you can start cooking immediately, and it won't take too long.

While waiting for dinner, several people discussed poetry. Li Yu was surprised to find that the two women were proficient in poetry and poetry.

If this were to be placed in future generations, then they would definitely be two professor-level scholars, who were bustling with excitement. Seeing the following people, under the leadership of Xia Zhu, they came in one by one and began to place tableware and chopsticks.

On Li Yu's table is:

[-] hu cakes, [-] boiled eggs, [-] boiled chicken, [-] boiled duck, [-] clay pot of sashimi, [-] clay pot of roasted mutton, [-] clay pot of corn porridge, [-] piece of vinegar and celery ...

Wang Kexin and Situ Yunsha are a little taller, but they have nothing, why?This is the true and cruel rules of the feudal dynasty.

It's not a TV series in a previous life. Many people sit together and eat together. That's pure nonsense.

Here, the head of the family eats, and it is their turn. This has always been the case in ancient times, and Li Yu has no idea of ​​breaking these traditions and rules immediately.

What he considers is to take it slowly and gradually change the rules in the future, so that everyone can accept it. Besides, without rules, there is no circle.

Li Yu hated the people who didn't obey the traffic rules in the previous life.

Li Yu likes to talk about principles and rules. With rules, everyone sticks to the bottom line. That's serious!
No matter how high the identities of the two women were, that was in the past. Now, in this county man's mansion, to be nicer, waiting to be accepted as concubines.

When the head of the house eats and eats, they should serve them as they should.

Eat a piece?

That's absolutely impossible. No, when the food on Li Yu's table was placed, the two women automatically sat down and served him corn porridge, roasted mutton, and other chores.

Don't feel embarrassed or embarrassed. Li Yu finished eating here, and the next person will eat it. This is a matter of course.

Every big family is like this, so don't look at Datang from the perspective of the afterworld, it will be regarded as a neuropathy.

That kind of advanced concept, in Datang, is simply a weirdo.

Otherwise, why are there so many meals? ?
It was a meal of several people. After Li Yu finished eating, it was the two women's turn to eat, and then the four second-class maids.

A total of seven people's meals are placed on Li Yu's table. The other servants in the house?

Excuse me, please go eat a big pot of rice.

In later generations, Li Yu was used to eating delicious food with all kinds of ingredients. The reason why he was not used to it was because the starting point was too high.

Just talking about Li Yu's food, in Lantian County with a radius of more than 100 miles, it is scorpion shit, the only one, even the county magistrate dare not be like this every day.

Most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty were clean and honest, and their salaries and land production were the main factors. Wang Kexin and Situ Yunsha, although their families were superior in the past, were only separated from each other, so they went out for a meal like this.

Like Li Yu, every day a lot of fish and meat, that is, the landlord's grandfather's family, can support it. The so-called landlord is the accumulation of titles and those families.

People want to eat this table? ?

You can, but you have to wait until the Chinese New Year, so don't even think about it on weekdays.

If you can eat enough food and not starve to death, that's all thanks to God, and there is no door to want to eat meat.

In the year of disaster, it is not a joke to change your child to eat.

Otherwise, why would everyone be willing to take their lives to exchange titles.

With a title, not only will you be given hundreds of thousands of acres of title fields, but you will also not have to pay taxes.
There are also corresponding food towns closed households, and the people of these closed households also have to produce the land and give a part of it to you as school food.

After the accumulation from generation to generation, there is no need to worry about food, drink and Lhasa. Of course, the quality of life of ordinary people cannot be compared with it!
Although he likes to tell the rules, Li Yu still has thinking from his previous life, so he always feels that it is indeed a bit rude to give others to eat the rest of his own food.

So he waved his hand:
"Xia Zhu, Ning Cui, divide some of these meals and give them to the two ladies to eat together today."

Originally, Li Yu wanted a few girls to eat together, but he didn't find that there were no extra tables, so he didn't say anything after thinking about it.

Fortunately, I didn't say it, otherwise there would be a huge misunderstanding.

In fact, Li Yu has never seen these two beauties eating. He is a little curious and wants to keep them here for a meal, so that he can visit the ancient beauties for dinner.

But they didn't want to, the two women were surprised at first, and then became excited again.

Each stood up and squatted for a blessing.

The neat voices of the two women came:
"The slave family has thanked the Lord for your praise."

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking, why don't you stay so excited?
The mouth responded quickly:

"Hurry up and free the gifts for the two ladies."

Only after Li Yu said no ceremony, the two women got up and straightened their waists.

Then they returned to their original positions and sat upright.

Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, Ning Cui, and Tao Hong, who had just reacted beside him, quickly came up and divided the various foods on Li Yu's table into two portions and brought them to the two women's short tables.

As for the four maids, they each stood in front of their girls' couch and behaved well.

Although it was my wife who stayed to eat, not me, but the four maids looked at Li Yu with gratitude.

Why?

Because in this Tang Dynasty, the identity of the two women is that it is impossible for them to eat with the head of the house in their entire lives. Only the wife can eat in the same room with the head of the house, and this is only possible when there are no guests.

Even if you take the house and get a concubine, you will eat in your own house for the rest of your life. If you meet those more serious wives,
You must also be by the side and wait for the master to finish eating before leaving.

Don't ask why, rules are rules, handed down from generation to generation.There is no room for negotiating discounts.

This is not the post-world. Men and women eat at the same table. If you can't say a word, you will turn your face on the spot, quarrel or something.

The kind of arrogant and domineering, who always regards himself as God regardless of the occasion and place, came to ancient times, and if he was his wife, he could only end up with a letter of divorce.

If he crossed over to be a maid, he would dare to be presumptuous, and he would either be sold to a brothel or be beaten to death on the spot.

In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, and human life was like a mustard. Failure to follow the rules was equivalent to self-destruction.

Everyone has their own ethics and position, even the princes and ministers, if they don't follow the rules, they will die.

For example, the rebel Hou Junji, even though he was a hero of Xuanwumen, was still killed and silenced. These ancient rules are not sloppy at all.

Didn't you see that the two women were sitting in front of the case?Be as serious as possible, as if you are facing a formidable enemy.

All of this is because Li Yu let the two daughters stay and eat together in front of the master, which is equivalent to eating at the same time as the master.

This is a very rare thing in the Tang Dynasty. Only when the master of any family decides to agree to take a concubine, he will do so.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu's behavior was equivalent to a formal family banquet for accepting concubines.

If there is a wife present, you must also salute the wife at this time.

The two women were very excited, and they had no interest in eating at all. They were eager to go back to their own courtyard, chat with their personal maids, to celebrate and vent, this hard-won family banquet.

This is an official concubine's family banquet, and it is not to be careless.

Therefore, the meal for the two girls was also very hard, and it was purely a procedure.

The most excited is Wang Kexin, who has been serving this young man for more than three years, since the great scholar invited by the old man returned to Shu for a funeral.

It has always been Wang Kexin who took over the baton, half-accompanying students, half-teaching for three full years, and she is much older than Lang Jun. This has always been Wang Kexin's biggest heart disease.

The serious appearance of being serious all day, in fact, most of the reasons are caused by the problem of his own belonging is not easy to solve.

For fear that this little prince will contradict her age in the future, if she does not accept her as a concubine, she will really become a complete first-class maid.

In that case, it would be better to stay in the manor and never get married. Although it would be a lifetime of loneliness, at least the status would not be lowered too much.

And there are two accompanying girls to serve, and also have their own small yard to live in.

As long as you abide by your duties, no one will bother you, and An Sheng will not be a problem for a lifetime.

If he is not accepted as a concubine, and he is not allowed to live in the mansion, and then is assigned to which servant or farmer by the head of the household, it will be very bad.

Not only will the future generations be slaves, but also not necessarily able to marry a wishful husband.

Nonsense, among the hundreds of servants in the house, which one has status and knowledge?

Wang Kexin was born in a noble family, and she was full of poetry and books. Of course, she didn't want to marry a mud-legged peasant, not to mention her status as a servant.

She has really lived that kind of low-level and impoverished life. For her, it is better to be dead and calm!
Today, I was finally publicly accepted by the head of the family and rewarded with a feast.

Wang Kexin finally waited for this day, and secretly put down a huge rock in her heart. Where is she still in the mood to eat, she only cares about being excited, and she will no longer have to worry about being afraid in the future.

According to the rules, there is still the last process, and the two of them are one of the official hostess in the house.

That is another formal banquet. The concubine usually has to celebrate with the whole family, which is equivalent to the official closing of the house, and it is also equivalent to the wedding banquet of the concubine.

It is impossible for a concubine to be like a regular wife. There are three books and six appointments. Anyone who gets a concubine will go through these two hurdles.

After the two family banquets, she was one of the official hostess of the mansion.

Wang Kexin pondered in her heart, and she didn't know when the head of the family would be able to inform the whole house to hold a concubine's family banquet?
While wanting to call hurry up, he secretly scolded himself for being greedy.

But what Situ Yunsha thought over there was that tomorrow night, the Lord will definitely ask me to serve him.

Would it be possible for me to... The owner of the house will not have his fifteenth hair in a few months. If tomorrow night... This is not in line with the rules, should I resist?Alas... what an annoying choice.

It's not that the two women are worried about the shyness of men and women's love. The main reason is that the two are older and naturally more sensible.

He must think about his own future, unlike Li Yu, who does not have to worry about food and drink, has a rich family business, and is fourteen or fifteen years old. He doesn't have to think about anything, he doesn't have to think about it, he will naturally have someone to do everything for him.

Both women have experienced the sadness of their family's ruin. Now, no matter how good the family owner is to them, they still hold the identity of a maid after all.

The two of them were just thinking about their status as concubines. As for when the young man's 14-year-old body would be able to perform the ceremony of Duke Zhou, they hadn't thought about it.

The two women thought so in their hearts. As long as their identities are justified, even if the owner of the family grows up for a few years and then shares the same room, they can wait with peace of mind.The name alone is the most important thing at the moment.

Li Yu's desire to see beautiful women eat is completely lost. Looking at the appearance of the two women, they almost don't do much with a table of food.

Disappointed, he started to make large pieces of boiled meat in a table of Tang Dynasty's white water, and ate it like a state banquet.

After the stomach was full, the two of them were still swallowing slowly, thinking that the two of them were not used to his presence, so they waved generously:

"Forget it, the two ladies should go back to the room to eat."

The two women saluted at the same time, this time they only owed a little;

"promise,"

Li Yu said to Xia Zhudao again;
"Xia Zhu, you can accompany Ben Langjun to the front yard to digest the food in your stomach."
