Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Little Lord
Along the riverbank, two rows of straw huts were set up, separated by wooden fences, although they were both laborers brought by Lu Ning, but they were also classified.
For, twenty households, ten of which were Shudra tenant farmers, although they were the lowest among the four castes, were much more noble than the other ten slave serfs who were not among the four castes.
In addition, more than a dozen hunters in the mountains and forests, who had been driven away by the Akaju people, were now able to turn back.
Lu Ning calculated that all the people under his management, including slave households, already had more than two hundred people, of which there were sixty or seventy young adults.
Although it is the Kshatriya in Hexi, Lu Ning's residence is also a temporary grass hut, which is also Lu Ning's order, make do with it first, sow the seeds urgently, and then build his own residence after the farm is busy.
Because of the struggle between the two villages, these cultivated fields in Hexi have not been sown this summer, but this place is further south than Hainan in the Central Plains from the dimension, it belongs to the tropical monsoon climate, and the rainfall is sufficient, and it can be sown at any time, but the soil composition is mostly not suitable for crop growth.
Lu Ning disappeared for more than a day, it is said that he got into the mountains and forests, but Lu Ning's temporarily appointed Shudra butler was frightened, worried that he would be devoured by wild beasts, then he failed to dissuade him, which was equivalent to harming the life of his master, and most of them would have to pay for his life.
In fact, Lu Ning wandered around the mountains and forests on the first day, and after being missing for more than a day, he naturally went back to the Indian mountain villa.
When he came back, he brought spearheads, scimitars, and the like, and the burden was not light, and he was really tired, and those ordnance were hidden by him in the mountains and forests.
After coming back, Lu Ning did his own work, did carpenter work, turned the grass shed into a wooden house, and stunned the Shudra housekeeper "Rhubarb", and was busy setting up his hands, but he couldn't do anything.
Rhubarb was originally a senior servant of the Shudra family in Mi Yingluo's family, and was sent to be Lu Ning's "housekeeper", so he naturally had the intention of monitoring Lu Ning from the side, and unlike the Central Plains thinking, Mi Jia Luo felt that it should be taken for granted, and he didn't do it so obscurely.
Rhubarb is naturally Lu Ning's name for him, this middle-aged man should have ancestors who should have the blood of the extreme west, and when he arrives at his ancestors, his hair color is a little light, that is, slightly yellow, and his beard is even more obvious, so Lu Ning called him "rhubarb".
……
Early this morning, the birds landed on the hut and squeaked.
Outside the wooden house, under the dirt slope, there were more than 20 straw huts for tenant farmers and serfs, and several families were crammed into one straw hut, and they were all accustomed to it.
Not far from the other side of the wooden house, there is the slowly flowing Yellow River, and some small black dots are carrying water from the banks of the Yellow River to water the farmland outside the river, busy like worker ants.
Actually, it's not far from the river, but if there is no big water nearby, there are wells, and they often depend on the weather for food, because the wells in the fields tend to dry up when there is a drought.
When Lu Ning came out of the wooden house, Rhubarb had already been waiting outside with joy, he changed into a clean cloth shirt and wrapping skirt, and when he saw Lu Ning coming out, he immediately smiled all over his face: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master." And he said, "Would you like to go and see the tabernacle?" ”
Today is the day when Lu Ning marries two wives, and at Lu Ning's insistence, the wedding is simple, of course, marrying two wives on the same day, a widow and a pariah, it seems that it is not appropriate to be too grand.
It is not taboo to marry Lu Ning with Indian etiquette, after all, this kind of wedding will not be recognized from the Central Plains, if it is a custom in the Central Plains, it will definitely not work, but even if it is Indian etiquette, it can't be done too carefully.
Rao is so, last night Rhubarb led the servants to work until midnight, and the ceremonial tent was built beautifully and decorated with all kinds of colorful flowers.
"I'm not going to see the shed." Lu Ning looked at the busy little black spots that were carrying water far away and working in the farmland early in the morning while it was not hot, and said, "Let them all rest for a day today, and tell them that today is a big day, everyone has barbecue to eat." ”
Last night, Lu Ning went into the mountains and killed several huge white-limbed bison.
This white-legged sacred cow is simply too sacred, in the eyes of the Hindus, it is among all kinds of cattle, it is also the highest status, and they dare not hurt them at all, this mountain forest and nearby, there are several herds, and because the beasts are hunted by the hunters and are restricted, the number of bison is getting bigger and bigger, but because the number is increasing, it often encroaches on the farmland, in fact, it has become the biggest enemy of the local farmers, but they can't help them, they can only be driven away, but if they are not harmed, these cattle are not so easy to provoke.
Lu Ning hunted a few of them last night, deboned them with precise techniques, buried the bones, and brought them back with a mountain of meat.
No one knew that this was the meat of the sacred cow, but thought it was a beast hunted by the Kshatriya lord.
Listening to Lu Ning's words, Rhubarb was stunned, it was really unprecedented for the landlord to hunt beast meat for civilians and untouchables to enjoy.
After staying for a while, Rhubarb hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll tell them how the master is kind to them!" ”
……
At noon, an elephant with a garland carried two richly dressed brides to the east of the river and crossed the river surrounded by rhubarb and other slaves.
Not only did Mi Yin Luo borrow the elephant as the bride's vehicle, but also rewarded the two brides with luxurious saris, obviously no matter how Lu Ning's wishful thinking about marrying Hei Mei disrupted her wishful thinking, she was not ready to pursue the matter again.
Under the flowery grass shed, Lu Ning and the two brides received the worship and blessings of the slaves.
When the oily barbecue was sent to the servants, the cheers of the servants shook the earth, and the blessings were even more sincere.
The offal and the like would also be dried and distributed to tenant farmers and serfs.
Hearing the gleeful discussion of the slaves that everyone could get a few catties of barbecue, Jamiro looked at the iron-masked husband beside him, and was a little surprised.
Maya is right, Yamiro is indeed beautiful, of course, it is not the stunning beauty of Aishwarya, it is the beauty of an ordinary woman, very charming, very down-to-earth beauty, the beauty mole on the forehead seems to be born, but it is red by the red pen, the bangs of the curly hair on the forehead are playfully curled, the deep black eyes are watery as if they can speak, gestures, full of femininity, it is the kind of beauty that does not have any aggression, when a man marries, he must be a good wife and mother, not Aishwarya, an ordinary man in front of him, I'm afraid that I will be ashamed of myself when I look at her, let alone have any crooked thoughts.
However, Jamiro is obviously a little ambivalent about marrying a strange man wearing an iron mask, after all, a stranger who can't see a person's face at all and has an iron hood on his head can be a little scary.
At the same time, it is Jamiro's ex-husband, who is only a high-ranking slave, and does not have her own land, she is now married for the second time, but can marry a Kshatriya who owns land, as an ordinary woman who grew up in Gabi, she should be looking forward to her future life in her heart, and she feels very happy.
However, Lu Ning always felt that she was like a frightened rabbit, as if she had a lot on her mind, and had a lot of anxiety and fear.
It's Hei Mei, who showed a maturity different from her age throughout the ceremony, and the panic in her heart seemed to gradually disappear under Lu Ning's encouraging gaze.
……
Behind the colorful shed, Lu Ning smiled and looked at the black girl who looked like an Indian Barbie doll under the gorgeous little sari, and couldn't help laughing: "You are very brave today and have done a good job." ”
On the other side of the color shed, the tenant farmers and serfs were still eating lively, and there was no wine, but many people seemed to be drunk with excitement, and they spoke loudly, mostly praising the lord of Hexi.
Seeing that the black girl was a little unbearable, Lu Ning took her out to breathe.
The children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and the little girl Heimei knows her role very well today, and she generously accepts the worship and blessings of those servants and slaves, but in the end, she is still a low-status untouchable weed in the bathhouse deep in her heart, and today is like a dream for her, she is trying to play her role in the dream, not to be ashamed of her husband, everything is being supported.
Now out of everyone's sight, her legs seem to be weak, her body trembles, and she can't stand still.
Lu Ning was helpless, so he squatted down, hugged her on his lap, and said with a smile: "You are also very beautiful and cute today, what are you afraid of?" I married you little guy, but I'm very uneasy, what are you afraid of? ”
With a fragrant little body, Lu Ning hugged her in her arms, she was originally a beloved little sister, but she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling.
Lu Ning was secretly ashamed in his heart, if he might experience too many women, he would inevitably want to seek new stimulation, as the lord of the world, he was even more beautiful and beautiful like sand and gravel, so the ancient kings were so sexually perverted, as for occasionally trying men, liking **, etc., it is even more normal to need.
I seem to have a bit of a tendency in this regard, but after all, I still have a moral outlook that has been formed in later generations, so I shouldn't become too disgusting.
pondering, looking at the cute Indian little Lori in her arms, she still couldn't help but kiss her little face gently, which was a chat.
Hei Mei's body was trembling with joy, and Lu Ning, who was leaning on her, was tighter, and she had a small mouth, but she came to kiss Lu Ning's face, which should have plucked up the courage to be a good wife.
When the black girl's mouth was about to choke Lu Ning's lips, Lu Ning was excited, hurriedly dodged away, smiled bitterly, and said, "Nonsense, you know everything!" And he said, "Aren't you afraid now?" ”
Heimei nodded lightly and said, "I, I don't know, but I will try to make them respect me." ”
Lu Ning couldn't help laughing, "Whoever dares to disrespect you, I will catch it and hit the board." ”
Hei Mei shook her head again and again, "No, it's not like this." Ah, sir, after dinner, let me take them to plough the fields, so that I will be loved by them. He also said, "Those old man's fields, with me, work together, they will be attentive, will they cultivate well, and the fields will become more and more fertile." ”
Lu Ning had heard that some excellent Kshatriya ladies and servants "shared weal and woe" and went to the fields together, which was also a virtue that was talked about, of course, the so-called sharing weal and woe together in the field, of course, it was not that the Kshatriya ladies also did farm work, but just supervised by the side, which was a very exciting move for the slaves.
Of course, Hei Mei said that if she really wanted to plow the land with the serfs, she would not do so, and it would damage her prestige.
"Today they all rest, tomorrow, tomorrow you can go." Lu Ning smiled and said, "It's not just my field, it's also your field, we all have a share." ”
Hei Mei shook her head in a panic, but her little face was full of happiness, for her, she had never dreamed of such a sweet dream, one day, she would have her own field and slaves.
Lu Ning heard the sound of footsteps, turned around, but saw that it was Jamiro, who was walking cautiously.
seemed to hear the end of the chat between the two, and seeing Lu Ning looking over, she said softly: "Tomorrow, I'll go to the field, she is young, she should rest tomorrow." ”
Lu Ning smiled, "Let's see tomorrow." ”
Naturally, he knew the meaning of Yamiro's words, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, but then he shook his head, this most primitive beastly desire, if he can't suppress it, isn't it a beast?
Speaking of which, in this era, in his own position, by mistake, he has not touched a girl, for example, a few months ago in the Southern Regions, Kumaro Biluo, that is, Liu Biluo of Liujiabao, in order to please himself, he sent all his favorite concubines and daughters, including his daughter who was less than ten years old, but at that time, he had the prince and drank too much wine and was extremely agitated, and it was not really touched, right? I don't remember it very clearly, after all, the chaotic scene of seven or eight women venting their primitive desires.
And now, when my mind is normal, the darkest and dirty side in my heart can't see the light of day.
The three of them fell silent, and at this time, the footsteps were very clear, and it was rhubarb.
"Master, you really have face, Wu Luoluo's Young Master Karova also sent a congratulatory gift!" Rhubarb's face was full of excitement.
Because, Karava is the second son of King Hizen, and he is also King Hizeng's favorite son.
Although according to the tradition of recent years, everything of King Kizen should be inherited by the eldest son, but in fact, this system of primogeniture is influenced by external influences, and according to the "Manu Code", property is divided equally among all sons, and many regions also follow this tradition, so many people believe that King Kizen will leave the largest share of his property to his second son.
Now that this karrava has sent a congratulatory gift, rhubarb certainly feels that it has more face.
In terms of status, Karova should be higher than Lady Michana.
Lu Ning bowed slightly, and glanced at Yamiro again, originally wondering what kind of congratulatory gift this Karma Luo gave him, but when Rhubarb said that the second son sent a congratulatory gift, Yamiro's body trembled obviously, and now, his beautiful eyes were full of panic and uneasiness.
It seems that the second son's congratulatory gift is related to Jamiro?
What the hell is this Maya doing?
However, it doesn't matter, I wouldn't have really operated here, did it really take three or five years to make a name for myself in southern India?
Gabi is just a springboard for his identity.
