Chapter 16 The formal family dinner that was unintentionally promoted

After struggling for a long time, Li Yu saw that it was almost dusk and urged, "When will the food be good? Someone is starving."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kexin immediately turned to Xia Zhu: "Go on, your husband 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 makes people feel sad.

The variety of meals is so simple that it is almost either boiled or stewed. And it doesn’t add anything except salt. It’s very boring, but it doesn’t work. You can’t drink porridge every day.

Fortunately, there is barbecue, but barbecue doesn’t have anything but salt. But eating barbecue is much better than boiled meat. In addition, this body is the fastest time of growth. It’s not long after a meal, and it’s digested again and is hungry quickly. So Li Yu can eat four or five meals a day, unlike the Tang Dynasty people who are two or three meals a day.

Since Li Yu wanted to open up, he almost had to eat when he was hungry. Regardless of time, the county's men's government is of course the biggest and most noble.

So now, people are on duty almost all day in the kitchen in the front yard. Just explain and you can start cooking immediately. It won’t take too long.

While waiting for dinner, Li Yu was surprised to find that these two women were proficient in poetry and songs, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

If this were to be placed in later generations, it would definitely be two professor-level scholars. They were in full swing. Seeing the people, led by Xia Zhu, come in one by one and start placing bowls and chopsticks.

Li Yu's table was placed: eight Hu cakes, eight boiled eggs, one cooked chicken, one cooked duck, one sashimi, one pottery pot of roasted lamb, one pottery pot of corn porridge, one vinegar celery, the Hu cake was the earliest meat pie, and the corn was millet porridge.

Wang Kexin and Situ Yunsha had nothing on the short table. Why, this is the real and cruel rule of the feudal dynasty?

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

Here, the head of the family will only be their turn after they finish eating. This has always been like this in ancient times, and Li Yu did not immediately break these traditions and rules.

What he considered was to take it slowly little by little and change the rules slowly in the future so that everyone could accept it. Besides, without rules, it would not be possible to achieve the order.

People who did not abide by traffic rules in their previous lives were the ones Li Yu hated the most.

It is precisely because many people do not abide by various rules that too many systems are in vain, and in the end, the monsters dance around and what are they like?

The husband looks for a mistress, the wife goes out to do whatever she wants, and all kinds of scammers make money in their pockets regardless of the consequences... These are behaviors that seriously break the rules and destroy the ecological balance.

So Li Yu likes to be principled and rules very much. With rules, everyone sticks to the bottom line, that is serious!

No matter how high the two women have, it was in the past. Now, it sounds nice in this mansion. I am waiting to be taken into the house and taken into the house. To put it bluntly, they are the two first-class maids with the highest status in the mansion.

The head of the family should serve him as a natural person.

Eat together? That's impossible. Now, the food on Lao Li's table was arranged, and the two girls sat down automatically, and gave Lao Li corn porridge, roasted lamb, and other mixed tasks.

Don’t feel embarrassed or embarrassed. It’s natural for Li Yu to eat here and the servants to eat it again. Every family is like this, so don’t look at the Tang Dynasty from the perspective of the post-world, as it will be regarded as a psychopath.

That kind of advanced concept is simply a weird person in the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, why did there be so many meals? That was a meal that a few people had together. After Li Yu finished eating, it was the turn of two women to eat, and then four second-class maids.

The meals for seven people were all placed on Li Yu's table. The other servants in the house? Sorry, please go to the big pot meal.

Li Yu was used to eating delicious food in later generations, and he had a complete range 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, which is more than 100 miles in radius, it is a scorpion shit. It is the only portion, even the county magistrate dares to squander like this every day.

Most of the officials of the Tang Dynasty were honest, mainly based on salary and land output. Although Wang Kexin and Situ Yunsha had a superior family in the past, they were only at different times, so they were beaten up like this.

Like Li Yu, he can only support his big fish and meat every day, that is, the landlord and the master's family. The so-called landlords are those with titles and the accumulation of those aristocratic families.

People want to eat this table? That is to say, it’s time for the Chinese New Year, so don’t even think about it on weekdays. It’s great to be able to eat enough and not starve to death.

When it comes to disaster, it is no joke to eat Yizi, it is a bloody fact. There are many people who eat Guanyin soil when they are hungry.

Otherwise, why would everyone be willing to exchange their lives for titles?

With a title, not only will you be given hundreds or thousands of acres of title land, but you will also not have to pay taxes and pay grain, but you will also have corresponding fiefs and enfeoffees. These enfeoffees will also give you some of the land to be used as food.

As generations accumulate, you will not have to worry about food, drink, defecation and urination. Of course, the quality of life cannot be compared with ordinary people!

Although he likes to follow rules, Li Yu still has his own thinking from his previous life, so he always feels that it is really too rude to give others what he has left. So he waved his hand: "Xia Zhu, Ningcui, share these foods for the two ladies, and eat them together today."

Originally, Li Yu wanted several girls to eat together, but she didn't find that there was no extra table. After thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud. Fortunately, she didn't say it out loud, otherwise it would have caused a huge misunderstanding.

In fact, Li Yu had never seen these two beauties eat before, and was a little curious, so she wanted to keep them here for a meal so that she could visit the beauty’s meal by herself.

But I didn't expect the two girls to be surprised first, and then start to be excited.

They stood up and squatted in a blessing gift.

The two women's neat voices came: "I thanked you, my husband."

Li Yu was stunned and thought, why bother to leave you for a meal?

But he quickly responded: "Hurry and don't give me a gift,"

Just when Li Yu said he would give up the gift, both women stood up and straightened their waists.

Then they return to their original position and sit upright.

Originally, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, Ning Cui and Taohong, who had just reacted, divided the various foods on Li Yu's table into two portions and brought them to the short tables of the two women.

As for the four maids, they each stood in front of their own girl's bed, and were in good manner.

Although it was his wife who stayed for dinner, not himself, the eyes of the four maids casting at Li Yu were full of gratitude.

Why? Because in this Tang Dynasty, the two women's identities are impossible to have a meal with the head of the family for the rest of their lives. Only the wife can have a meal with the head of the family in the same house. This is only possible without guests.

Even if you take up a house and get taken into a concubine, you will eat in your house all your life. If you meet those real wives,

You must also wait for your master to finish eating before you can leave.

Don’t ask why, rules are rules, passed down from generation to generation. There is no room for negotiation and discount.

This is not a post-world, where men and women eat at the same table, if they don’t say it well, they will turn against each other on the spot, quarrel, etc.

This was in ancient times, with strict rules and everyone had their own ethics and positions. They were not careless at all.

Didn't you see that both women were sitting upright in front of the desk? You should be as serious as you are. It seemed like you were facing a great enemy.

All of this was because Li Yu asked the two girls to stay in front of the head of the family and had a meal together, which was equivalent to eating with the master at the same time.

This is a very rare thing in the Tang Dynasty. Only when the master of a family decides to accept a concubine will he do this.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu's behavior was equivalent to a formal family dinner to take over a concubine.

If the wife is present, she will also pay tribute to her.

Both women were very excited and had no interest in eating. They were eager to go back to their yard and chat with their respective personal maids to celebrate and vent.

This is a family banquet for formal concubines, and it is impossible to be careless. If you make a fool of yourself, it will be very bad if you spread it.

So the two women had a very hard meal, just a procedure.

The most exciting thing is that Wang Kexin has served this young man for more than three years. Since the great scholar invited by the old master returned to Shu to attend the funeral,

It has been Wang Kexin who has been taking over the baton and has been half-studying and half-teaching for three years. She is much older than her husband. This has always been Wang Kexin's biggest heart disease.

In fact, most of the reason for being serious and serious all day is that it is difficult to solve the problem of one's own belongings.

I was afraid that the man would resist her age this year. If he did not take her as his concubine, he would really become a completely first-class maid.

If that were the case, it would be fine if you stayed in the mansion and never got married for the rest of your life. Although you would have to be lonely for a lifetime, at least your status would not be reduced too much.

And there are two accompanying girls around me who serve and live in their own small courtyard.

As long as you keep your duty, no one will disturb you. If you are not taken into consideration and not allowed to live in the mansion, and the head of the family will be assigned to which slave or farmhouse, it will be a big problem.

Not only will they be slaves in the future generations, they may not necessarily marry a good husband.

Nonsense, which of the hundreds of slaves in the mansion has status and knowledge?

Wang Kexin was born with a noble family and was well-read in poetry and books. Of course, she didn't want to really live a life of lowliness and poorness. Such a life would be better than to die and calm down!

Today, he was finally accepted by the head of the family and was given a banquet. Wang Kexin finally waited for this day and secretly let go of a huge rock in her heart. She was in a state of great mood to eat and would never have to worry about it again.

According to the rules, there is also a formal banquet, that is, the family usually celebrates the concubine, which is equivalent to formal acceptance of the house and the wedding banquet of the concubine.

It is impossible to take a concubine like a wife. If you get a concubine, you will go through these two levels. The first time you eat in the same house is equivalent to a hiring, and the second time your family will give you a banquet is equivalent to a marriage.

After two family banquets, I became one of the official hostesses in the mansion.

Wang Kexin thought in her mind, and somehow she could not tell the whole mansion to hold a family banquet for concubines. While she wanted to call her to come soon, she secretly scolded herself for being greedy.

But Situ Yunsha thought that the husband would definitely ask me to serve him tomorrow night. Will he just need me... the head of the family will have to reach fifteen bundles of hair. If tomorrow night... this is not in line with the rules, should I resist? Alas... it is such an annoying choice.

The two girls are not anxious about the shameful things that men and women love each other. The main reason is that they are older, so they are naturally much more sensible.

I must consider my future. Unlike Li Yu, I have no worries about food and drink, and I have a rich family business, and I am 14 or 15 years old. I don’t have to think about anything or think about it. Naturally, there are servants who will do everything for him.

Both women have experienced the sadness of family destruction. Now, no matter how good the head of the family is to them, he will eventually be a maid. If he doesn't fight for it, how can he come from the future?

Therefore, the two of them were just thinking about taking up a house and taking concubines. As for the young man's fourteen-year-old body, when he could perform the rituals of Duke Zhou, he had never considered it.

Both women thought so in their hearts. As long as their status is justified, even if the head of the family grows up for a few years and then has sex, they can wait with peace of mind. So this title is the most important thing at present.

Li Yu's wish to see the beauty have completely failed. Seeing the two women's appearance, they almost didn't do much to a table of food. In a disappointment, he began to boil a table of Tang Dynasty meat with white water and ate it as a state banquet.

After eating, they saw that the two of them were still sucking slowly. They thought they were not used to him being present, so they waved generously: "Forget it, the two sisters should go back to their room to eat."

The two women saluted at the same time, but this time they just owed their bodies a little, "No,"
