Chapter 599 It is indeed a feudal society, so decadent!
After a while before even a stick of incense was burned, Buwei entered the room with several maids and servants, none of them carrying a food box in their hands.
"So fast?"
Wang Lidong was a little surprised. If the food he ordered was freshly cooked, it would take at least more than a quarter of an hour.
Buwei put the food box on the table and explained,
"Last night, the empress arranged for Mrs. Qian and others to stay in the kitchen all night. She was worried that the young master would wake up hungry in the middle of the night."
He didn't expect the cold-faced mother Qi to think so thoughtfully, and his heart warmed, but his attention immediately shifted to the food on the table.
Steaming steamed dumplings, fragrant pan-fried white sausage, colorful Qibao vegetarian porridge, three golden sesame balls, and a plate of round glutinous rice cakes... plus seven or eight pickles.
I picked up the kuaizi and stuffed 2 glutinous rice cakes into my mouth first. After I swallowed the food, I felt like my whole body came to life again.
At this time, he deeply understood the wise saying passed down by his ancestors: people are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will starve.
With his stomach pounding, Wang Lidong began to chew slowly. After all, he was a young man, so he couldn't look too ugly when it came to eating.
After drinking a bowl of vegetarian porridge and eating a few small dumplings, my stomach immediately felt full.
Looking at the table full of snacks and food, most of them moved quickly, and their appetites were too small... I glanced at my arms, no wonder they were so skinny and didn't have any flesh at all.
After taking another sesame ball and stuffing it into the feeding tube, Wang Lidong still put down the tachyon, although he was unwilling to do so.
Buwei on the side immediately directed the maids and boys to clear the table. He himself took out a small bowl of dark soup from a food box, tested the temperature at the bottom of the bowl, and it was just right. He hurriedly put it on Wang Lidong's table.
Said in front of him:
"Sir, take some medicine."
mmp.
The medicine is good, but the side effects are too great.
How long has he been awake...
"Keep it aside and drink it later."
Buwei urged: "The doctor said, specifically, this medicine must be drunk while it's hot. If it's cold, it won't have any effect."
I glanced at Buwei, this guy couldn't be trying to trick me.
Why not immediately show what you think is the most sincere smile...
Thinking of the painful experience of recurring illness in the past few days, Wang Lidong picked up a small bowl and drank two mouthfuls.
Don't be too busy and hand over the preserves on the plate.
I picked one that I liked, chewed it twice, and it felt much better.
Wang Lidong saw that Wang Lidong took out a tea set from the cabinet and said, "Don't order tea. Don't put anything else in the tea. Just make me a cup with hot water."
As a rule, if you have a good breakfast every day, why not order him a cup of tea.
The way of drinking tea during the Northern Song Dynasty was still very different from that a thousand years later. Drinking tea was called ordering tea.
Although it looked very ceremonial and elegant, the steps were too complicated, so it disappeared during the Ming Dynasty.
However, this way of drinking tea was brought back to Xiaori by a monk who came to study in the Northern Song Dynasty and became the origin of Xiaori Tea Ceremony.
Wang Lidong was really indifferent to this way of drinking.
When ordering tea, you drink tea powder, which was called matcha when you were young. After you drink it in your mouth, some of the tea powder will get stuck in your throat... and your throat will be stretched.
In addition, when making tea, some random things are put in, such as borneol, pepper, salt... For those who don't know, they think they are boiled tea eggs.
"Ah...ok, sir."
Wang Lidong felt that his head was starting to feel a little heavy. Knowing that the medicine was taking effect, he hurriedly said to Buwei: "Go to the study later and bring me some books."
"Sir, which books are they?"
"'Alchemy Theory', 'Taizu Changquan', 'Thousand Gold Prescriptions', 'Shen Nong's Herbal Classic'...and..." The speed of my head turning is getting slower and slower, and I can't remember it for a while."
If there are any others like this, bring them with you."
I feel that today's young master is a little different from usual. I used to ignore these miscellaneous books, but why suddenly today... I was about to ask a few questions, but I found that the young master had already dug into the cup.
It's just a miscellaneous book, and it's not like I went to a brothel. Even if the princess knew about it, she would only say "oh" at most.
.......
When Wang Lidong opened his eyes again, it was already bright.
"what time is it?"
"Sir, it's already noon (11:00 to 13:00 Beijing time)." A clear female voice came into his ears. Wang Lidong tilted his head and saw Chunlan, his chief maid and financial director, walking out of the living room.
Enter the bedroom.
In addition to this personal servant and book boy, he also has 2 eldest maids, Chunlan and Xia Zhu, 4 little maids, 6 errand boys, and 2 slightly older nuns...
A dozen people serve him alone... It is indeed a feudal society, it is too decadent!
However, compared with other legitimate sons of the Duke's Mansion, his configuration can only be regarded as entry-level.
For other heirs of the Duke's Palace, the standard number of eldest maids is 6 to 10, and the number of young maids and servants is almost thirty or forty. Every time they go out, they are surrounded by people... very impressive.
!....
Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions. At that time, the Jia family had fallen to the third rate in the entire dynasty's circle of influence. Jia's mother also assigned this guy 18 maids...
Seeing Wang Lidong sitting up, the maid Chunlan hurriedly stepped forward and helped him put on his clothes.
"An hour ago, my wife and my father-in-law came together, but you were asleep at that time. My mother-in-law and your father-in-law didn't let me wake you up. They sat in the living room and burned half a stick of incense..."
"Did mother leave any words?"
"My Majesty said, let the young master have a good rest at home."
After getting dressed, Chunlan arranged for the maid to hand over a hot towel, wash her face, and brush her teeth... The whole process went smoothly. This level of service... Even seven-star services are not this good.
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Wang Lidong took a look at the person in the mirror. He had long eyebrows and a bookish look on his face. He was such a handsome young lady... No wonder the county boss wanted to be strong...
I looked at my attire and saw that it was clean and decent.
Wang Lidong nodded slightly. This maid of his has indeed stayed with Qi's mother for several years. If there was a rating, she would give it 9 points out of 10!
The 1 point deducted is a non-war crime, mainly due to some innate deficiencies.
The servants assigned to him in the mansion are all considered upright, but the maids... No matter how big or small the maids are, their faces and figures are all of a very safe kind...
Especially Chunlan and Xia Zhu, both of them have big faces, big shoulders and round waists... It would be a pity not to participate in sumo wrestling.
Install the latest version.]
Wang Lidong guessed that Qi's mother arranged for these two people to be his maids. In addition to not worrying about causing trouble, she might also have the intention of letting them act as his bodyguards.
If he is in danger, he can be picked up with one hand, and then he can escape back to the Duke's Mansion.
The previous version was too hard.
After three years in the army, a sow competed with Diao Chan, let alone more than ten years of holding back...how could this guy not be upset when he saw the beautiful girl Sheng Minglan?
He walked to the window and opened a window. A gust of cold wind blew in, mixed with a few snowflakes, and blew on his face like a knife.
Close the window quickly.
I originally wanted to take a stroll around the small garden, but immediately decided to stay in the cat house for the next few days.
"Chunlan, why not?"
"Half an hour ago, Buwei went to Rongbaozhai to buy paper." Chunlan walked to a cabinet, opened it, and took out a stack of books from it, "Sir, Buwei said these are the books you want."
Wang Lidong took it and looked through it one by one. In addition to the four books he wanted, there were two more.
A book of "Wrestling" and a book of "Sixty Prescriptions for Diseases".
I opened "Wrestling Notes" and scanned it roughly from beginning to end. It described the history of wrestling from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. There was not a single martial arts move.
