For the upper echelons of Yas Kingdom, the biggest event tonight was the party held at the residence of Viscount Turner.
Without the constraints of the older generation, it is completely a social scene for young people. This makes the aristocratic children who are accustomed to being disciplined by their families full of expectations for tonight.
She already has a sweetheart and is looking forward to the beautiful moments of intimacy at the party.
Those who lead the family are listening to the instructions of their elders again and again.
Those who usually have a naughty personality were severely reprimanded and warned by their parents.
Different families, different ideas.
At the same time, a piece of news spread among everyone.
A distinguished guest will also participate in the party.
Well-informed people had long known that this person was Lu Yu, who had been guaranteed by Old Drake. Everyone was confused about this Marquis who came from an extremely distant country.
They didn't understand how he could be present at a social party held by local aristocratic children, and even be driven to greet him by Andrew, the eldest son of the Turner family.
In fact, while they were discussing, Lu Yu had already arrived at the Turner family's manor.
Lu Yu, who was very tired from practicing magic the night before, had been yawning since he was taken to the manor early in the morning.
Naturally, you don’t need to arrive so early to attend the party. However, last time Andrew had a meal of tomato beef brisket and garlic beef from Lu Yu.
As a well-educated child, Andrew followed etiquette and invited Lu Yu to taste their family's delicacies.
Upon learning that Lu Yu was coming, Andrew's father, Old Turner, also came out to greet Lu Yu.
This white-haired old man has sharp eyes and is full of energy. It is said that when he was young, he accompanied the Second Emperor to conquer the Goblins in the East and was a ruthless man who personally charged into battle.
In aristocratic circles, his reputation was not very good.
After all, he was bound too close to the royal family, making people feel that the Turner family was just a dog of the royal family.
The nobles who hope that the lordship system will continue will naturally not like their family too much.
Old Turner just exchanged a few words with Lu Yu, then left the space for him and Andrew, and turned around to make the final arrangements for the party venue.
Lu Yu, who was already hungry, was very grateful to Old Turner. He was really worried that a nobleman who was proficient in nonsense literature would play with him like Ting Jun Yi Xi Yan.
Andrew led Luther into the dining room of his mansion and ordered the servants to quickly bring up the prepared food.
Bread made from fine flour was placed on a tray and delivered to Lu Yu.
The gloved waiter used a knife to help Lu Yu cut the large pieces of bread into slices, and then took out the colorful sauce bottles from the dining cart and placed them in front of Lu Yu.
Seeing that Lu Yu had no intention of taking action, the servant who served Lu Yu thought it was a sign to let him feed him, so he specially asked a younger girl to come over and ask Lu Yu what he meant.
Lu Yu was still admiring the different jams and smelling them, and was stunned for a while when he heard the person next to him say this.
Even if you want to eat bread, you have to be served and fed. What level of disability is that?
Seeing Lu Yu's impatient wave, the servant stood there in fear, looking at the butler behind him at a loss.
Andrew, who had gone into the kitchen to see what was going on, came out and saw this scene. He clicked his tongue and said, "I only asked you to serve the food. I didn't ask you to disturb the distinguished guests. Please step aside."
After many servants retired, Andrew sat across from Lu Yu and said apologetically: "They don't know the dining habits of Seris Country, which makes you laugh."
While Lu Yu was spreading jam and honey on the bread, he asked, "Are you all so particular about what you eat?"
"Are you referring to the service of the servant just now?" Andrew smiled, "Actually, I don't like it either. Compared to having someone standing next to me and feeding me, I preferred the atmosphere of eating in the Marquis' mansion that day."
"However, not every guest is like Mr. Lu Yu. Some people who visit the Turner family have very strict rules."
"Not giving enough respect and attentive service will make the Turner family lose face among the nobles."
Got it, nobles have a lot of shit.
Two bowls of hot beef soup were served.
Eating bread and drinking beef soup with pepper, this breakfast was actually not bad.
However, Lu Yu was really tired of eating bread.
There are really few options for breakfast in Yas.
Serfs and slaves basically only had some bran and bran to eat, and sometimes not even that.
When the poor have something to do, they drink some gruel to satisfy their hunger, and then eat something full at noon.
Ordinary people can eat some black bread, but not much, just to improve the taste and satisfy their cravings.
Families like Andrew will have more choices when it comes to eating.
But this choice only enriches the sauce on the bread.
Lu Yu wanted to eat steamed buns, wontons, dry noodles, and snail noodles, but they were not available here.
This also resulted in Lu Yu having to make breakfast by himself.
If Andrew hadn't invited him, he would have made buns with the dough today.
I thought that Sigrid, who was looking after the house, would have to eat leftovers all day long...
"For lunch, I have also prepared tomato-braised beef brisket and garlic beef for you. Please taste the craftsmanship of the Turner family chefs."
Lu Yu had admired the signature dishes of some taverns in the Kingdom of Yas. Daluan stew and glutinous rice noodles were frequent visitors, and it was rare to find dishes that were both delicious and tasty.
This made Lu Yu very curious about the cooking skills of chefs in noble families.
After breakfast, Andrew took Lu Yu to visit the Turner family's family business, planting.
Standing on the high slope behind the mansion, Lu Yu looked up and saw countless ragged and skinny serfs working hard in the divided fields.
It was spring plowing, and there were no traces of livestock in the fields. They were all swarthy men waving farm tools.
Perhaps because he was standing too high, Lu Yu felt that they were just ants, working hard under the supervision of servants waving whips and whipping flowers.
Lu Yu suggested taking a closer look, and Andrew agreed.
Their skinny bodies were so weak that they would fall over when the wind blew, and even the farm tools seemed heavier than their bodies.
Their eye sockets were sunken, their eyes were cloudy and numb, and the cracked skin on their faces looked like dry and cracked riverbeds.
They all stopped one after another and turned to look at Lu Yu and Andrew.
A rare smile appeared on their dark and thin faces, because the servants who kept waving their whips as if to urge them on saw Andrew and greeted him with a flattering smile.
This is one of the few opportunities to be honest and lazy.
It was Turner's eldest son, Andrew, who showed them some kindness.
Lu Yu was walking on the ridge of the field, feeling the sights coming from all directions, and suddenly felt a gloomy wind.
Lulutis in Lu Yu's backpack said nothing.
The Turner family's cultivated land is very fertile black soil, and the harvest is good every year. They can make a lot of money just by selling food.
This is also the reward they get for embracing the royal family.
"With such good land, why not find more livestock to assist in farming? Wouldn't it be more efficient?"
Although the servant in charge of managing these slaves did not know Lu Yu, but seeing that his young master was personally accompanying him, he knew that he was a great person.
He smiled and explained: "Whether it's a cow, a horse, or a hybrid monster, it all requires money. It's too expensive."
"Besides, raising livestock and monsters requires a lot of rations. How can you compare with them?"
"But, our young master is kind-hearted and can provide enough food every day, which is different from other families."
As soon as the whip was struck, the servant turned to the slaves in the field and shouted: "Isn't that right?"
This servant was very good at treating his young master well. After a while, a sparse "yes" and praises and praises for Andrew came to Lu Yu's ears.
Lu Yu smiled and said casually: "It is indeed amazing to be able to feed them."
Andrew was a little flattered by Lu Yu's praise. He then thought about it and quickly whispered a few words to the servant.
After a while, several slaves who looked very strong and seemed to have not experienced torture were brought to Lu Yu by the servants.
"There are two small pieces of wasteland behind your mansion. Wouldn't it be a pity that no one is taking care of them now?"
Andrew pointed to the slaves and said: "I give these people to you so that you can have more hands to take care of them."
Andrew's words were true, but Lu Yu's face was expressionless.
If you dare to give it away, do I dare to accept it?
Who knows if this is the spy thrown by the person behind you?
"No, I'm just staying in Yas temporarily and will continue my journey sooner or later. I don't need extra manpower." Lu Yu said, "Thank you for your kindness."
Andrew was embarrassed. The gift he had prepared on a whim was thrown back, which made him not know what to say.
"In that case..." Andrew turned around and faced the group of slaves who were led.
"Wait a minute."
Old Turner, who didn't know when he arrived, saw this scene and rushed over.
"Now that Andrew's words have been spoken, they have taken effect."
"Since the Marquis is unwilling to accept them, our Turner family will not accept them again..."
Lu Yu looked at Old Turner.
Slaves without status were not accepted, and if thrown out, they would die.
Are you planning to kidnap yourself morally?
It is completely unfeasible to kidnap a nobleman morally. Doesn't Old Turner know clearly?
"Then release them from their slave status. Butler, you take them down, help them complete the procedures, and give them a few copper coins by the way so that they can settle down smoothly."
Everything happened too fast. A second ago, I was still farming in the fields. It was very likely that I would be trapped here and die for the rest of my life.
But now, he has broken away from his status as a slave and has become a free man.
Several slaves were lying on the ground, constantly saying words of praise.
They crawled to old Turner's feet and kissed his boots.
Old Turner kicked a slave away.
"It is the Marquis you should thank."
The slave who realized it crawled to Lu Yu's feet on his hands and knees and kissed his shoes.
Some people even burst into tears while being kissed.
Lu Yu wanted to take his foot back, and he also wanted to imitate old Turner and kick someone over.
But he finally endured it.
