Sariel saw that Lawrence had accepted the three women and asked how it would be arranged.

"Are they sleeping with us today?"

Sariel felt that the bedroom was big enough and the bed was big enough, but it was a little cramped with so many people sleeping together.

The three nuns looked at Lawrence, their faces somewhat nervous, but more silent than not.

In any case, the young man in front of him can be called a clean and decent person.

Even in their country, there are very few men who pay attention to cleanliness.

In this era, there are not so many exquisite, and a piece of bread can make many village girls and peasant women do things for a few minutes at your request, although they will seem impatient, but they will still do it for the sake of stuttering.

For women who live in abundance and do not have to worry about food, as long as they are not annoying, it is easy to spend some intimate time behind the hillside, in the sheep stable, in the haystack, in the idle mill, in the storage warehouse.

Lawrence said: "Lived in the empty room downstairs. ”

The entrance to the first floor is the living room, where a fireplace and pickle jars are placed against the side wall, as well as cooking props such as wine and salt.

The living room occupies the space by the door, and in the middle of the inner row of rooms is the staircase that goes up, and on the side of the staircase near the fireplace is the food warehouse and the second kitchen.

The chimney here passes through the wall of the second-floor bedroom, above the warehouse is the second-floor arsenal, and Lawrence's bedroom has a closet in the wall opposite this chimney, so that the temperature of the fuel can be used to the maximum in winter.

The bedroom on the second floor has a bathroom to the left and an arsenal to the right, while the bathroom uses the same sewer pipe as the bathroom below the stairs on the first floor.

The bathroom on the first floor is flanked by pipes and stairs above, and when someone comes down, there will be footsteps to remind those who are in the toilet to come out quickly.

When the house was built, Seravin and others joined, and it was only after Salavin and others joined that they began to plan this new house, so the original plan was that Seravin Iti Shepherdesss and others would also move in.

When I was planning, I didn't expect so many people to come from behind, and Seravin and the others had built their own houses before the wooden house was built, so the other four rooms were always empty.

Lawrence had to leave room for his children and his father-in-law, Andrew, so the room for the maid could only be two rooms on the first floor.

Colin was quick to say, "Yes, master. ”

Lawrence saw that this nun had adapted to the role so quickly, and asked curiously: "You used to be a maid too?" ”

Colin replied, "No, I used to be a deacon in the convent and was responsible for disciplining other nuns. ”

Lawrence asked, "Deacon?" What are the positions of the monastery? ”

The deacon sounded very powerful, and Lawrence didn't think the woman in front of him was a powerful character.

"In the convent there are abbots, abbots, deacons, and nuns in general."

Lawrence was curious about the matter of nuns, which represented not only the extension of the religious system over a wide area, but also the extension of aristocratic power within the religion.

Lawrence asked, "Can a woman from an ordinary peasant family become a nun?" ”

Colin replied decisively: "No, the nuns in the convent are all from noble and knightly families, and we are the brides of the Lord of the Dawn, and we have sworn to dedicate our lives to God." ”

Colin wanted to raise his hand, as the bride of God, the nuns of the Lord of the Dawn could wear rings on their hands.

However, her ring was snatched by the barbarians......

Lawrence looked at Colin's hand suspiciously, it was a normal hand, and there was nothing strange about it.

"Is it possible to become a nun as long as you are the daughter of a nobleman?"

Colin shook his head, "No. ”

"A large sum of money must be paid to the monastery, which is a woman's dowry, and is also used for all future expenses in the monastery."

Lawrence asked, "What do you guys do on a daily basis?" ”

Colin: "Praying, copying scriptures, visiting the poor, caring for the sick, and sometimes teaching the little girls sent by the nobles." ”

Lawrence asked, "Are you still in touch with your parents and brothers?" ”

Colin replied: "The monastery has a onerous precept that the nuns must renounce all worldly property and cut off all contact with their relatives. Some royal families had their own monasteries, and the women of the family would be sent there, and the outside would be sisters-in-law, and when they entered, they would only be called sisters. ”

Lawrence also asked a lot about the monastery, which had its own land and assets, and the abbot was generally a noble nun in the monastery and would not be parachuted.

Nuns had to contribute land, money, or something of value to join the monastery, and most of the nuns could only stay in the monastery to work and recite scriptures, and only a few nuns could go out to participate in banquets and other activities, and participate in aristocratic social and temple activities as the masters of the monastery.

Monasteries were similar to the manor model, and they also needed to pay taxes to the church in exchange for autonomy and protection.

After the barbarians sacked the village and the monastery this time, the nobility and the church there should have begun to take precautions.

Saliel said at this time: "Eat, eat, eat first." ”

Already hungry, Sariel stood up to prepare dinner, she had little interest in the affairs of the monastery.

The group began to prepare for dinner, and two maids brought dinner.

Chicken boiled peas, pork bacon, black berry vegetable platter, bread.

At least two chickens died in this meal.

Lawrence looked at the roast chicken that the maid put on the table, and couldn't help but ask, "Sariel, why are you willing to kill the chicken?" ”

Saliel smiled, "Sophia told me that we are masters now, and we can't be as shabby as before. ”

Sophia explained: "Master, these chickens are castrated, and the castrated chickens can't lay eggs, and they can't give birth to chicks, so we have to make room for the chicks. ”

"That's right, that's right." Lawrence sighed: "Then eat it, don't kill it in the future, and save it for the fall." ”

There is really no need to say this kind of thing, otherwise there are too many things in the manor.

It's good that Sophia and Saliel can make their own decisions, but Lawrence is still thinking about fried chicken.

The fried chicken thing was a private wish in his heart, and Lawrence didn't tell anyone about it.

The little rooster is castrated, hoping that it will grow into a meaty and tender steer in the autumn, and use the best posture to get into the oil pot.

"Yes, master." Sophia happily agreed, and then enjoyed a sumptuous dinner with Lawrence.

Lawrence had almost eaten, and saw the three maids standing beside him.

"What's your dinner?"

Colin replied, "Chicken and bread." ”

Lawrence thought for a moment, and quickly said, "What were you eating when you were caught?" ”

Colin and the other two nuns both had very bad expressions, apparently a very unpleasant memory.

"The food here isn't that hearty." Lawrence reminded: "People here are not as talkative as they seem, and it is normal to kill, to plunder, to rob, to be violent. ”

"If you think that your noble status and bloodline can get more food here than others, then I can tell you, no."

"No one in this land cares about those titles."

"You are lucky to have met a wise man like me, but I am not a generous and merciful god, and I will not tolerate a group of strangers who have just been here for two days."

"Before you become maids, I think you should understand what most of the women in this land do."

"Maybe you'll be able to understand the warmth of the hut after spending one night with those savages."

"You go to the fields to plow, and you go to the forests to cut down and carry wood, so that you can understand the good of being a maid."

Colin quickly said, "No, sir, we have accepted the test of God, it is God who has made us meet and let us stay here. ”

"That's God's business, not mine." Lawrence said directly: "We have our rules here, the slaves who come here on the first day must stay outside all night. ”

"I was tired and didn't arrange for you to do this before, so I'll start today."

"Of course, you can also choose to run away, the people who have captured you down the hill are those acquaintances who have captured you, maybe you miss their hands and smell more."

Sariel watched quietly, they didn't have the kind of first-night sleeping outside rule, it was obvious that Lawrence himself was talking nonsense.

Lawrence didn't like these descendants of the nobility very much, but it was true that these people were easier to communicate with than the rest of the barbarians.

It's not to punish these people for being humble and submissive, but because these people come up wanting to eat chicken and bread like their family.

Sophia usually doesn't dare to be so good at asserting, and Sariel is not a luxurious girl.

Obviously, the three nuns came over and persuaded them to use the nobles to fool children and stupid women in order to eat some meat for themselves.

Boom, a crow flew from the window.

The crow stood at the window and watched, tapping its beak at the wooden window.

Lawrence walked over and pulled the window open, and the window in the house was covered with a curtain, so he chose to pull it.

Open the window and place the crow standing there on your shoulder.

The crow honestly stood on Lawrence's shoulder, waiting for dinner.

Lawrence often fed cooked meat to the crows, and first the crows had developed a preference between cooked and raw meat in addition to the bugs.

"By the way, I haven't told you my name yet." Lawrence closed the window and walked over to the table.

"Lawrence Ravenfeather is the owner of this mountainwind manor, and the prophet, witch doctor, priest, and wise man of the Agama Mountains."

Lawrence was not a good man, and kept the food that the nuns had prepared for themselves for his own breakfast, and drove the three poor maids to sleep under the humble wooden shed.
