A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 600 As expected of a feudal society, it's too decadent!

After a while before a stick of incense burned, he took a few maids and servants, and no one entered the room with a food box in his hand.

"So fast?"

Wang Lidong was a little surprised, the few dishes he ordered would take at least a quarter of an hour if they were cooked fresh.

Not to put the food box on the table, explained,
"The empress arranged for Mrs. Qian to be on duty in the kitchen last night. I'm worried that you will wake up hungry in the middle of the night."

Unexpectedly, Qi's mother with cold noodles was so thoughtful, and his heart warmed up, but his attention immediately shifted to the food on the table.

Steaming steamed steamed buns, fragrant fried white sausage, colorful Qibao vegetable porridge, three golden sesame balls, and a plate of plump glutinous rice cakes. Seven or eight pickles were added.

Picking up the chopsticks, I first stuffed 2 glutinous rice cakes into my mouth. After eating the food, I felt like my whole body came back to life.

At this time, he deeply realized the wise saying handed down by his ancestors, people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

With his stomach full, Wang Lidong began to chew and swallow slowly. Anyway, he is a young father-in-law, so he should not be too ugly in terms of eating.

After drinking a bowl of vegetarian porridge and eating a few small dumplings, my stomach felt full immediately.

Looking at the table full of snacks and food, most of them moved their chopsticks, and their appetite was too small. Glancing at their arms, it was no wonder they were skinny and had no flesh.

After taking another sesame ball and barely stuffing it into the esophagus, although Wang Lidong was unwilling, he still put down his chopsticks.

Buwei at the side immediately ordered a group of maidservants to clean up the table, while he himself took out a small bowl of dark soup from a food box, tested the temperature at the bottom of the bowl, just in time, put it in Wang Lidong's hands said in front of him:

"Young master, I've taken some medicine."

MMP.

The medicine is a good medicine, but the side effects are too great.

how long has he been awake
"Leave it and drink later."

He did not rush to persuade: "The doctor said, and specifically told me that this medicine must be drunk while it is hot, if it is cold, it will have no effect."

If you don't take a look at it, this kid can't be fooling himself.

Not to immediately show what I think is the most sincere smile.
Thinking of the painful experience of repeated illnesses in the past few days, Wang Lidong picked up the small bowl, and the two gulped down.

Handed it to the plate of candied fruit in no time.

I picked one that was pleasing to the eye, chewed it twice, and it was much better.

Seeing that Wang Lidong brought out a set of tea sets from the cabinet, "Don't order tea. Don't put other things in the tea, just make me a cup with hot water."

As usual, eat a good breakfast every day, and don't order him a cup of tea.

The way of drinking tea in the Northern Song Dynasty is still very different from that of 1000 years later. Drinking tea is called ordering tea.

Although it looks very ceremonial and elegant, the steps are too cumbersome, so it disappeared in the Ming Dynasty.

However, this way of drinking tea was brought back to Little Days by a monk who came to study in the Northern Song Dynasty, and became the origin of the Little Days Tea Ceremony.

Wang Lidong is really indifferent to this drinking method.

What you drink when ordering tea is tea powder, which is called matcha in small days.After drinking into the mouth, some of the tea powder will get stuck in the throat, pulling the throat.

In addition, when making tea, there are also some messy things, such as borneol, pepper, and salt. Those who don’t know think it’s boiled tea eggs.

"Ah yes, son."

Wang Lidong only felt his head start to feel a little heavy, knowing that the effect of the medicine was coming, he hurriedly said: "Go to the study later, help me get some books."

"Sir, which ones are there?"

"'Danjing Lun', 'Taizu Changquan', 'Qianjin Fang', 'Shen Nong's Herbal Classic'. And" the speed of my head turning became slower and slower, and I couldn't remember it for a while, "If there are similar ones, I can't remember them all. bring it here."

I don't think that today's young man is a bit different from usual. He used to dismiss these miscellaneous books at all, but today he was about to ask a few questions and found that the young man had already plunged into the cup.

It's just miscellaneous books, and it's not about going to the brothel, even if the princess knows it, she will say "oh" at most.

When Wang Lidong opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.

"what time is it?"

"My lord, it's already noon (Beijing time 11:13 to [-]:[-])." As soon as a clear female voice came to his ears, Wang Lidong turned his head and saw Chunlan, his chief maid and chief financial officer, walking out of the living room. into the bedroom.

Except for this personal servant and book boy, he also has 2 big servant girls, Chunlan and Xiazhu, 4 small servant girls, 6 errand servants, and 2 older rough envoys.
More than a dozen wait on him. As expected of a feudal society, it's too decadent!

However, compared with the legitimate sons of other Duke's mansions, his configuration can only be regarded as entry-level.

For the other heirs of the duke's mansion, the standard configuration of big maids is 6 to 10, and the small maids and servants add one, which is about thirty or forty. Every time they go out, they hug each other very grandly! .
Jia Baoyu in the Dream of Red Mansions, at that time, the Jia family had fallen to the third-rate existence in the power circle of the entire dynasty, and Jia's mother even assigned 18 maids to this guy.
Seeing Wang Lidong sitting up, the maid Chunlan hurried forward and helped him put on his clothes.

"One hour ago, the empress and the father-in-law came together, but you were asleep at that time, my lord, and the empress and the father-in-law didn't let the slaves wake me up, and sat in the living room for half a stick of incense."

"Did mother leave any words?"

"The empress said, let the young master rest at home."

After getting dressed, Chunlan arranged for a maid to hand over hot towels, wash her face, and brush her teeth. The whole process was smooth and smooth. This level of service is not so appropriate for a seven-star hotel.

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Wang Lidong sized up the person in the mirror. He had slender eyebrows and a bookish face. He was such a handsome young lady. No wonder the county magistrate wanted to force her.
Taking a look at the clothes, they were well-groomed, very decent.

Wang Lidong nodded slightly, this big maid of his own deserves to have been by Qi's mother's side for several years, if there is a rating, out of 9, I will give it [-] points!
The 1 point deducted belongs to non-war crimes, mainly due to some innate deficiencies.

All the servants assigned to him in the mansion are Zhou Zheng, but the maids, no matter how big or small, have a very safe face and figure.
Especially Chun Lan and Xia Zhu, both of them have big faces, big arms and round waists. It would be a pity not to participate in sumo wrestling.

Wang Lidong guessed that Qi's mother arranged for these two to be his big maids, in addition to not worrying about making troubles, it might also mean that they would be his bodyguards.

In case of danger, he can be picked up with one hand, and then fled back to the Duke's mansion.

The predecessor was too hard.

Serving in the army for three years, a sow competes with Diaochan, not to mention holding back for more than ten years, seeing the beautiful girl Sheng Minglan, how can this guy not be disturbed.

Walking to the window and opening a window, a gust of cold wind blew in, mixed with a few flakes of snow, and scratched his face like a knife.

Close the window quickly.

Originally, I wanted to take a stroll around the small garden, but I immediately decided to stay in the cat house for a few days.

"Chunlan, why not?"

"Half an hour ago, I went to Rongbaozhai to buy paper." Chunlan walked to a cabinet, opened it, and took out a stack of books from it, "My lord, I didn't say that these are the books you want."

Wang Lidong took it and looked through it one by one. Besides the 4 copies he wanted, there were 2 more copies.

A "Wrestling Notes" and a "Sixty Disease Prescriptions".

Open "Jie Li Ji" and roughly scan it from the beginning to the end. It describes the history of wrestling from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. There is no one-way martial arts.

A fool's play.
