Chapter 22: The Evil of Feudal Society

As soon as Lu Yuan thought that Erniu would change his pants in his own house, he didn't go back to his house.

But the late autumn night was a little cold, so he had to go directly to the hall and sit down, looking for a book to read.

But just as Lu Yuan came to the hall and was about to close the window, Lu Yuan saw Erniu walk out of his room and went directly to the back kitchen.

It didn't take long for Lu Yuan to see the smoke rising, and he thought to himself that maybe from today onwards, the person in charge of cooking in his own family would have to become a second girl.

"This kind of thing of cooking for free and sleeping with people, how did the second girl agree."

Lu Yuan shook his head incomprehensibly, because there was no Internet at night in Daming's era, it was a little boring, and reading books seemed to be the only way to entertain.

However, Lu Yuan didn't dare to light the lamp and look at it for too long, after all, the light of the candle lamp was too weak, and it was easy to be short-sighted after watching it for a long time, and there was no place to wear glasses if he was short-sighted.

Therefore, Lu Yuan only watched for a while and was ready to go to the kitchen.

First of all, the kitchen is warm, and secondly, although now that Erniu has become his roommate, it is inevitable that it will be a little embarrassing to meet now, but he can't bear to let a fourteen-year-old girl run the family's meals alone.

But when Lu Yuan arrived at the small door of the north room, that is, the landlord's side ear room, he was stopped by his mother Lu Kang's shout: "Yuan'er, weren't you willing to accept the second girl as a maid in the room just now, why are you so anxious!?" ”

Lu Yuan's face was sweating: "Mother, you misunderstood, I just want to help Erniu, she will definitely not be busy cooking alone." ”

"Then you don't need the help of a big man, the gentleman cooks far away, I don't understand, although you are not a child of a big family, but you are also an innocent person, where can you go to the kitchen to do that useless thing."

Lu Kangshi pulled Lu Yuan aside as he spoke, and then went to the kitchen by himself.

Lu Yuan was robbed of a meal by his mother, so he had to return to the main hall outside the north room in a huff.

These days, he has been eating with his mother in the main hall outside the north room, so for now he is simply waiting here for dinner time.

In the Ming Dynasty, they only ate two meals a day, and basically they didn't eat much at noon.

But now that the Lu family has gotten rid of their debts and has more than two thousand taels of silver, the Lu family has increased their lunch at Lu Yuan's strong request.

But even so, by now, Lu Yuan felt a little hungry in his stomach, so he had to eat some dried fruits to cushion his stomach.

It didn't take long.

Erniu and Lu Kangshi came in with food boxes.

The second girl looked at Lu Yuan and blushed again, but she still bowed.

Then.

Erniu put the food box on the table, took out the rice and dishes, and put the cups and chopsticks.

Lu Yuan knew that in this era, the maid in the room could not go to the table to have dinner with the main mother and husband, in order not to make the second girl uncomfortable and not to make Lu's mother unhappy, so he did not ask the second girl to sit down and eat with him, and let the second girl work on the side.

Lu Kang's sat in the chief and did not move, as the main mother, it was already an exceptional favor for her to help Erniu cook rice, so naturally she would not help Erniu place the cups and chopsticks.

Lu Yuan also understands now, and knows that his mother intends to give Erniu a chance to show her gentle and virtuous womanhood in front of her.

Lu Yuan could only try his best to cooperate, and the way he cooperated was naturally to sit on the chair like his mother, nodding frequently to show that he was very satisfied, being an uncle lazily, just waiting for the second girl to put the food in front of him.

"What a sinful feudal society!"

Lu Yuan sighed secretly, and secretly observed Erniu's expression.

The second girl was peaceful, seeing that Lu Mu and Lu Yuan were praising herself, she was even a little happy because of this, and put the meal away happily, and then put a piece of soft steamed meat in Lu Mu's bowl, and gave Lu Yuan half a deer whip, and then stood aside, waiting for Lu Mu and Lu Yuan to eat.

Lu Yuan looked at the half of the deer whip and instantly lost his appetite, even though he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back at this time.

But Lu Mu nodded with satisfaction, with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

And the second girl was even happier because of this, and the already charming pear vortex seemed to smile more obviously.

But the second girl looked at Lu Yuan, and began to frown a little and be unhappy.

Mother Lu is the same, looking at Lu Yuan's delay in moving her chopsticks, she was also a little angry, glaring at the second girl fiercely, thinking that the second girl is so gentle and virtuous, how can you not give face to the second girl and not go down the stairs! If you don't give face to Erniu, you don't give Uncle Fei face, and you don't understand Uncle Fei's dedication to the Lu family!

"Master, but the second girl didn't do well?"

The second girl asked boldly, and seemed to be in a hurry to wait for Lu Yuan's affirmation.

Lu's mother frowned again, she admitted that the second girl was still a little straightforward and not subtle enough, and even questioned her husband directly, but she also admitted that it was indeed Lu Yuan's fault, the deer whip is such a good tonic, in her opinion, the second girl cooked it for you Lu Yuan and personally clamped it to you, and only then became your roommate, but you didn't move, why did you not give face so much!

Lu Yuan felt a lot of pressure, and he found that the high-paid male power in this sinful feudal society was not so easy to enjoy.

This is a whole deer whip, if you eat it, you will only have two results tonight, either your fingers are red, or the second girl is dead.

The former is concerned with her own happiness in the future, and the latter is the life of a fourteen-year-old girl.

I can't eat this deer whip.

But now under the injection of two sharp eyes, Lu Yuan had to eat again, so he had to pick up the deer whip with chopsticks, and then opened his mouth to bite, and at the same time said to Erniu: "What's wrong, you did a great job, I was just thinking about other things just now." ”

The second girl smiled.

Lu Mu also smiled.

The atmosphere of the Lu family at the moment was peaceful.

But Lu Yuan was a little miserable, he had to close his eyes and symbolically bite half a bite, fortunately, Erniu's cooking skills were not bad, Lu Yuan estimated that she learned it from Uncle Fei, so it was not fishy or greasy to burn this deer whip.

However, Lu Yuan didn't dare to bite more, after all, this kind of big supplement, he was really worried that he would not be able to bear the second girl to death if he ate too much.

But even so, Lu Yuan could still really feel the heat in his body slowly surging.

Meanwhile.

Lu Yuan began to make a serious suggestion: "Although I have just recovered from a serious illness, it is not appropriate to make up for it, so Erniu, you remember, you don't need to do deer antler whips or anything in the future, just cook home-cooked food, remember?" ”

"Remember", Erniu nodded, she naturally wanted to listen to Lu Yuan's instructions.

And Lu's mother also smiled, she was very satisfied with this atmosphere, the concubine was virtuous, and let her see the harmony in the backyard of the Lu family after Tang Ying married in the future.

After finishing the meal for a while, Erniu personally served tea to Lu's mother and Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan almost said thank you, but when he spit out the previous word "thanks", he was glared at by Lu Mu, and in the end he still held back the next word "thank you".

"In this evil feudal society, it is not right to even say 'thank you' when being served."

Lu Yuanzhi saw that Erniu was coldly accepted by himself without saying thank you, and sometimes he looked happy, so he couldn't help but scold again.

Mother Lu may have begged Sun Xinxin, and just rinsed her mouth, she put the tea down: "You go back to the house and rest, you don't need to serve here." ”

What this means is that you hurry back and make a child, Lu Yuan naturally understands, but he really doesn't want to go back and be passionate with the fifth girl in front of the second girl, so he has to smile awkwardly: "Mother, my son still wants to accompany you again and listen to your teachings." ”

The second girl was relieved, she was naturally a little instinctively afraid to go back to the house with her young master to sleep together, and she wished that she and her young master would stay with her master for a while.

But Lu's mother was obviously a little displeased: "I am an old woman who doesn't know the four books, where is there anything to teach, that's the work of gentlemen, if you really want to honor me, hurry back to the house, don't dangle in front of me, I'm going to sleep, go back quickly, don't suffocate your body." ”

As soon as Lu's mother said this, Lu Yuan had no choice but to leave, but she couldn't help but scold: "'Don't suffocate your body', my mother really plans to let me give the second girl ...... tonight"
