Chapter 30: The Misery of Ordinary People

"Isn't it, is our family so powerful in Shuodong County?" Li Beixiang looked at Li Donglai and asked hesitantly.

"I said, fourth, what's wrong with you today? Li Donglai looked at Li Beixiang curiously.

"Oh, it's fine. Didn't I bring three girls into the house, I saw that they were quite pitiful, so I asked about the situation. Li Beixiang told the experience of Qin Qing'er and others.

"I said, fourth, why have you become so hateful and compassionate now? This world is like this, a world where people eat people. Their origin means that they have served us all their lives, and our origins determine that we are enslaving them in this life. Li Donglai took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then spoke.

"This world is very fair, my family's glory and wealth are our father's hard work, it is fought for his life, so what is wrong with us enjoying these glory and wealth? Let me ask you, what's wrong? And what about them? What about those little people? From birth to death, did they contribute to this country? They didn't, they stayed there all their lives, they never wanted to be motivated, they saw that others were doing well, they would just stand up and angrily scold God for injustice, God was blind, and they would only say things like that. ”

"Also, don't you think it's ridiculous that they don't try, but they want to be prosperous and rich? They never thought about why those rich families were able to enjoy the glory and wealth? Is it really because the rich and noble are unkind to the rich and oppress the poor people? No, they are very wrong. Speaking of this, Li Donglai was a little emotional, only to see him slap one hand on the table and knock over the teacup on the table.

"None of them have worked hard, and they still want glory and wealth, which is simply wishful thinking. ”

When Li Dong came here, he looked at Li Beixiang, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said slowly: "Therefore, they deserve to be enslaved by our people." This is their life, so, what you enjoy is what you should enjoy, don't listen to the nonsense that people say. ”

Li Beixiang listened to Li Donglai's words, sometimes confused, sometimes hesitant, sometimes sober, and sometimes confused.

Li Beixiang was silent for a long time, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a reason.

"Childe, Lao Chai, I think what the eldest prince said is very right. Those little people are toads who want to eat swan meat, and all day long they only know how to beg others to reward them, and if others can't ask for it, they go to those ethereal gods. These people are all cheap bones, don't worry about those mud legs anymore, it's not worth it. Lao Chai looked at Li Beixiang, who was deep in thought, and couldn't help but interject and say something.

"Well, if you can't figure it out, you don't want to. Li Beixiang let out a long breath, lifted the teapot again, and sipped it mouth to mouth.

"Lao Chai, I didn't see it! You are still talking now, who did you learn it from?" Li Beixiang put down the teapot, looked at Lao Chai, and asked curiously.

"Hehe, I didn't learn from anyone, I figured it out myself. Lao Chai bared his teeth, showed a simple smile, scratched his head and smiled.

"Okay, I don't want to either, whatever. ”

"Lao Chai, go and see, why is the food not good yet? Why don't you hurry up and ask?" Li Beixiang felt that the waiting time was a bit long, so he urged Lao Chai to ask.

"Come on, eldest son, second son, I've kept you waiting. ”

As soon as Li Beixiang's words fell, a shout came from the door.

Lao Chai hadn't moved yet, when he saw someone coming in at the door, he hurriedly flashed to the side and made way for the comer.

"Two sons, I've kept you waiting for a long time, and the slave will compensate the two of you, and ask the two sons to take care of them. ”

A middle-aged man wearing a black robe, rolled up his sleeves, wearing a melon skin hat, and a pair of mustaches, with thief-eyed eyes, hurriedly ran to Li Donglai and Li Bei and knelt down, kowtowing with a lewd-looking smile.

Li Beixiang looked at this person and said with a disgusted face: "Okay, don't make such a big courtesy, you can quickly bring the food to my son." ”

"Alright, let's get up. Hurry up and bring the food, if today's meal is good, then I'll spare you old thing. Li Donglai pointed at this person and scolded with a smile.

"Bang"

The man kowtowed again, then stood up and shouted outside: "Don't hurry up and bring the food, if you are too late for the master's hour, be careful of your skin." ”

"This man's face changed so quickly, he was really like a dog. ”

Lao Chai looked at this person with disdain, and scolded in his heart.

As soon as the man's voice fell, he saw a group of maids dressed in maids, combed in double buns, and holding food boxes in their hands.

"Two sons, this dish is, Eight Treasures Treasure Jade Porridge, made .................."

"This dish is crispy Jumbo duck and is made ............"

......

Every time a dish was served, the man wearing a melon skin hat explained in detail to Li Donglai and Li Beixiang.

After about a quarter of an hour, all the meals were served. A full twenty dishes, filling the entire table.

After those maids put down the dishes, they stood in the restaurant, waiting for Li Donglai and Li Beixiang to eat.

"The two sons, please use it slowly, the slave will go down first. The man in the melon skin hat smiled and saluted, then walked backwards.

"You must give me the two sons to serve me, or be careful of your skin. "When this man walked out of the restaurant, he didn't forget to threaten these maids.

"Fourth, come, hurry up and eat vegetables. ”

Li Donglai picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in the bowl in front of Li Beixiang.

"Big brother, you can eat too. Li Beixiang picked up this piece of duck meat, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely.

"It's okay, leave me alone. You eat first. Li Donglai didn't care, and continued to pick up vegetables for Li Bei.

"Big brother, hurry up and eat, you have been like this since you were a child, whether it is eating or something else, you always let me come first, which makes me embarrassed. Li Beixiang swallowed the duck meat, looked at Li Donglai, and said twistedly.

"Oh, you, haha, when will my precious fourth brother be made to make people? haha, this is a rarity. Li Donglai held chopsticks in his right hand, pointed at Li Beixiang and smiled.

"Isn't there so many dishes, where can I eat alone? Li Beixiang picked up a dish and put it in Li Donglai's bowl.

"Okay, Lao Chai, don't look at it with a blank eye. Li Bei looked at Lao Chai and found that Lao Chai was standing there, his eyes staring at this side, and his mouth made a sound of swallowing saliva.

"Come on, take a bowl and get some food for Lao Chai. ”

Li Beixiang casually ordered.

"Xie Gongzi rewards. ”

Lao Chai laughed, squinted his eyes and thanked Li Beixiang, and then took the meal from the maid's hand.

"There's a little table over there, you can go there and eat. Li Donglai casually pointed to the stone bench in the courtyard outside the restaurant and said casually.

"Big brother, Lao Chai is not an outsider, why can't he eat with us?" Li Beixiang looked at Lao Chai with some resentment, since Lao Chai sacrificed himself to save him that night, he thought that Lao Chai and he were a family.

Li Dong looked at the back of Lao Chai leaving, and said casually: "Identity, you have to pay attention to your identity." I know Lao Chai saved you, but that's what he should. I can't put him on the same registration with you because he saved you, remember that he is a subordinate, and you are the fourth son of the general stationed in Shuodong County, he can't compare with you at all. ”

"Oooh. Li Bei often pulled the food in his mouth, and agreed without raising his head.

"Alas. Li Dong looked at Li Beixiang and let out a long sigh, "Maybe these things are too cruel for him." Li Donglai said in his heart.

Also, Li Bei has never paid attention to these things before, and he has never been in contact with them, but this time he got three down-and-out people, and when they said it, he would inevitably have some thoughts in his heart, after all, he was only a young man in the 14th Five-Year Plan.

About half an hour later, Li Donglai and Li Beixiang were full of wine and food, and then lay on the chairs.

"Today's meal was ok and tasted good. Come on, give this son a reward. Li Beixiang sat down on the chair and scratched his fingers between his teeth.

Lao Chai outside the door heard Li Beixiang calling someone, immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and ran in.

"Lao Chai, you go to the kitchen and tell the kitchen that today's meal is very suitable for my son's appetite, go and reward my son. ”

Li Beixiang looked at Lao Chai, took out some broken silver from his body, and handed it to Lao Chai casually.

"Yes, Childe. ”

Lao Chai took Li Beixiang's silver, immediately turned around, and ran towards the kitchen with a smoke.

Li Donglai, who was next to him, saw this scene and couldn't help laughing, "My younger brother is really unique." Li Donglai said in his heart.

Li Beixiang ran out as if looking at Lao Chai Fei, turned his head, beckoned to the maids, and motioned to clean up the table.

Those maids saw Li Beixiang's signal, walked to the dining table and cleaned up.

Several of the maids walked up to Li Donglai and Li Beixiang with towels, those crystal-made cups, gilded water basins, and gilded painted spittoons.

The maid with the basin knelt on the ground and held the basin above her head.

Li Donglai and Li Beixiang put their hands into the basin of water, washed them for a while, and then took the towel and wiped it clean.

The maid of those cups put the cups in front of Li Donglai and Li Bei's mouths, and the two of them took a sip and rinsed their mouths with a gurgle.

When the maid holding the spittoon saw the two of them rinsing their mouths, she hurriedly put the spittoon to their mouths.

Li Donglai and Li Bei spit the mouthwash in their mouths into the spittoon.

The two repeated it three or four times.

The maid with the towel took out a new towel and wiped their mouths for the two.

"Alright, let's go down when we're done. Li Beixiang wiped his mouth clean after being served by the maid, waved his hand, and signaled that they could go down.

"Yes"

The maids bowed and bowed, and withdrew.

After the maid retreated with the cleaned up dishes and chopsticks, Lao Chai who went to reward had already returned.

"Childe, the kitchen man asked me to thank Childe for them. Lao Chai stood in front of Li Bei and said with a sincere smile.

"Uh-huh, got it. Li Beixiang shook his hand casually, and then picked up the folding fan on the table.

With a "bang", the folding fan was opened.

"Big brother, I'll go out for a walk. Li Beixiang stood up and said to Li Dong.

"Okay, there you go. I'm going to practice too, remember to prepare my things, I'm going to Jingshi tomorrow. ”

Li Donglai also stood up and walked out.
