Chapter 258 The Unfit Hou Mansion

Lu Zushang shuttled in the courtyard, and he got lost after a while, this is the strangest building he has ever seen in the Tang Dynasty, the pattern of each courtyard is exactly the same, except for the items and trees displayed in the courtyard, there are almost no differences in other places, and even the brick and tile arrangement is extremely similar.

Of course, there were strange markings on the doorways of each courtyard, which were so crooked that he couldn't understand them.

The human voice finally appeared, and after passing through three courtyards in a row, Lu Zushang heard the sound of a group of people giggling and laughing.

Looking up, it was noon, and the air was filled with a sweet smell.

Walking in the direction of the human voice, Lu Zushang finally saw the figure, a large group of men were eating in a strange building, through the window, Lu Zushang showed surprise.

This is the Lotte Hou Mansion?

Not to mention the food of these servants, just look at the glass window, which has all kinds of simple and atmospheric patterns, you know that it costs a lot.

Glass has now reached the lowest price in Datang, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the use of glass as a decoration on the window is still an unattainable option, using window paper is enough, and glass is too luxurious.

At this moment, Lu Zushang had a trace of dissatisfaction with Lotte Hou Li Hui, becoming a marquis at a young age, there must be something extraordinary, but this extravagant style is contrary to His Majesty's policy of benevolence and love for the people, diligence and thrift, which is really a bit disgusting.

Through the window, Lu Zushang saw the bowls of the servants, and this time, Lu Zushang fell into deep thought.

He has been worry-free since he was a child, although he is not rich and rich, but at least his family background allows him to have a class that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and he can enjoy a life that ordinary people can't enjoy.

But at this time, Lu Zushang's face twitched, and his heart was mixed.

In the diet of these servants, there are meat, pork, chicken, and many other dishes, those green and golden things, which I have never seen and heard of, this is the food of the servants in the Lotte Marquis's Mansion on weekdays?

I used to be in a high position, and I never had meat at a meal, and there was meat in every meal of the day, which was already a gift from God, but in these servant bowls, eggs, pork, and those strange things, this is the life of the gods!

The servants of the Lotte Marquis Mansion, do they live like nobles?

Lu Zushang didn't know that Li Hui never deducted the food of the servants, and the family had a lot of money and couldn't spend it, so it was better to buy all kinds of meat, eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs every time the farmers handed them over, and they couldn't eat them for a while.

It's better to eat together.

What's more, there are not many servants and maids in the family, and their work tasks are relatively heavy, so if they can't eat enough, where can they have the strength to work?

Although there are many retainers, their task is to make wine, and other chores are very different from the work of servants, not to mention, they also have to train.

A hundred soldiers can't eat much, and the silver is silver when it is spent, and it is broken copper and iron at home.

There are less than 200 people in the whole family, including servants, personal soldiers and retainers, if you count the various expenses in those schools, in Li Hui's eyes, it is still not comparable to the speed of making money.

Lu Zushang couldn't think of all this, and he couldn't understand it, he received Confucian education from childhood to adulthood, and his heart was full of obsession with thrift.

When he tried to walk over to stop this, a hand pressed against his back.

"You're that Lu Zushang."

Lu Zushang turned his head, his eyes showing doubts.

He saw a young man in his second year, who was extremely handsome, with a dashing brow and a tall figure, like a hill, and like a sharp sword.

"Hehe, it is here, who is Your Excellency in the Hou Mansion?"

Lu Zushang asked with a smile.

"Hehe, Master Hou saved you on a whim, you can go in with me and eat something."

Gai Suwen led the way, Lu Zushang followed behind, in the cafeteria, everyone seemed to be unable to see the two of them, Lu Zushang looked at this huge courtroom and sighed.

In this kind of building, a few huge pillars in the middle support the entire structure of the house, and this kind of construction method is only found in the palace.

His Majesty seems to be extremely fond of this Lotte Marquis Li Hui.

"Yun Niang, here are three lion heads, a roast chicken, a bowl of oily noodles, a leek scrambled egg, a leg of mutton, and a grass carp."

Yun Niang raised her eyebrows, she wanted to get angry, but when she saw that it was Gai Suwen, she immediately lost her anger, after all, Gai Suwen was handsome.

Lu Zushang saw that the guy in front of him could eat so much at one meal, and immediately opened his mouth wide.

"Can you finish eating?"

"Hehe, that's necessary, I can eat a pig in one meal."

Gai Suwen was not shy about it at all, "Take whatever you want to eat." ”

In the canteen of the Hou Mansion, most of the places were self-help, and Lu Zushang was holding an iron plate and walking around in front of the food that had been prepared.

This one tastes like chicken, and this one is a small yellow croaker, these people are really enviable.

Hey? Lu Zushang looked at the sweet potato and began to be in a daze, he racked his brains, and he didn't remember where he had seen this thing.

"This is a sweet potato, sweet and delicious, but you can't eat too much in one meal, otherwise your stomach will be bloated." Yun Niang reminded.

Lu Zushang smiled and thanked him, and put a piece on his plate.

What he hadn't seen before, Lu Zushang came a little bit the same, sitting next to Gai Suwen, he felt that he was afraid that he was in a fairyland today.

Gai Suwen didn't care so much when he ate, but when he saw Lu Zushang's change from not daring to eat at the beginning, to then like a starving ghost, he smiled.

Hou Ye is right, the food in the Hou Mansion can't even be carried by people like His Majesty, let alone others. Your Majesty hasn't seen you for a long time, and the last time I came, I was still talking to Your Majesty, but at that time, Your Majesty called himself Lord Li.

After eating and drinking, Lu Zushang knew that he should go to meet Lotte Hou, in the Hou Mansion, he was lucky to be saved, then Ma Zhou must have explained the situation to Lotte Hou, His Majesty wants to kill himself, Le Tianhou and Ma Zhou rescued themselves, this matter must be thanked in person.

"Dare to ask sir, where is Master Hou?"

"It's good to call me a pain, Master Hou, I went to Chang'an to visit friends today, and I will come back in the afternoon, you can rest first."

Gai Suwen looked at Lu Zushang, "You can't do it with your legs and feet, talk to Hou Ye well, and Hou Ye will naturally heal you." ”

Lu Zushang was puzzled, this Lotte Hou still has medical skills?
