Chapter 41 41 Slaves

Chapter 41 41. Slaves

For the upper class of the Kingdom of Yas, the biggest event tonight is the party held at Viscount Turner's mansion.

Without the constraints of the older generation, it is a social event for young people, which makes the noble children who are used to being disciplined by their families look forward to tonight.

Those who already have a sweetheart are looking forward to the beautiful moments of intimacy at the party.

Those who have family missions are listening to the elders' instructions again and again.

Those who are usually naughty are severely scolded and warned by their parents.

Different families, different ideas.

At the same time, a message spread among the crowd.

A distinguished guest will also participate in this party.

Those who are well-informed know that this person is Lu Yu, who has been guaranteed by Old Drake. Everyone is confused about this marquis who came from a very distant country.

They don't understand why he can be present at the social party of local noble children, and even be greeted by Andrew, the eldest son of the Turner family, in person.

In fact, while they were talking, Lu Yu had already arrived at the Turner's manor.

Lu Yu, who was very tired from practicing magic, had been yawning since he was taken to the manor early in the morning.

It was not necessary to arrive so early to attend the party, but last time Andrew had eaten Lu Yu's tomato beef brisket and garlic beef.

As a child with excellent family education, Andrew invited Lu Yu to taste their family's delicacies according to etiquette.

Upon learning that Lu Yu was coming, Andrew's father, Old Turner, also came out to greet Lu Yu.

This white-haired old man had sharp eyes and was full of energy. It was said that when he was young, he was also a ruthless man who accompanied the second emperor to conquer the goblins in the East Territory and personally rushed into the battle.

In the aristocratic circle, his reputation was not very good.

After all, he was too closely tied to the royal family, making people feel that the Turner family was a dog of the royal family.

The nobles who hoped that the feudal system would continue would naturally not treat their family too well.

Old Turner just exchanged a few words with Lu Yu, then left the space to 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 an aristocrat who was proficient in nonsense literature would come and play the game of "listen to your words, listen to your words".

Andrew led Lu Yu into the dining room of his mansion and ordered the servants to quickly bring up the prepared food.

The bread made with the best flour was served on a tray and brought to Lu Yu.

The gloved waiter used a knife to help Lu Yu cut the large piece of bread into slices, and then took the colorful sauce bottles from the dining car and placed them in front of Lu Yu.

Seeing that Lu Yu had no intention of doing it, the servant who served Lu Yu thought it was a signal for him to feed him, so he specially replaced it with a younger girl to ask Lu Yu what he meant.

Lu Yu was still admiring different jams and smelling the smell. He was stunned for a while when he heard the person next to him say this.

He had to be served and fed just to eat bread. How disabled was he?

Seeing Lu Yu waving impatiently, the servants stood there in panic, looking at the housekeeper behind them at a loss.

Andrew, who went into the kitchen to check the situation, came out and saw this scene, and said, "I only asked you to serve food, not to disturb the distinguished guests, all of you leave."

After many servants left, Andrew sat opposite Lu Yu and apologized, "They don't know the dining habits of Seris, and you are embarrassed."

While spreading jam and honey on the bread, Lu Yu asked, "Are you so particular about eating?"

"Are you referring to the service of the servants just now?" Andrew smiled, "Actually, I don't like it either. I prefer the atmosphere of eating in the Marquis's mansion that day to someone standing next to me and feeding me."

"But not every guest is like Lord Lu Yu. Some people who visit the Turner family have very strict rules."

"Not giving enough respect and thoughtful service will make the Turner family lose face among the nobles."

I understand, the nobles are troublesome.

Two bowls of hot beef soup were served.

Eating bread and drinking beef soup with pepper, this breakfast is actually not bad.

However, Lu Yu is really tired of eating bread.

In Yas, there are really few options for breakfast.

Serfs and slaves can basically only eat bran and bran, and sometimes they may not have it.

The poor have things to do, so they drink some porridge to fill their stomachs, and eat something to fill their stomachs at noon.

Ordinary people can eat some black bread, but not much, just to improve the taste and satisfy their cravings.

People like Andrew can have more choices in eating.

However, this choice is just to enrich the sauce of bread.

Lu Yu wants to eat buns, wontons, dry noodles, and snail noodles, but there is none here.

This also led to Lu Yu having to make breakfast by himself.

If it weren't for Andrew's invitation, he planned to make buns with flour today.

Thinking that Sigrid, who was watching over the house, would have to eat leftovers all day...

"For lunch, I have also prepared beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and beef stewed with garlic for you. Please come and taste the cooking skills of the Turner family chefs."

Lu Yu had appreciated the signature dishes of some taverns in the Kingdom of Yas. Hotpot and porridge were the regulars, but it was rare to find dishes that were both delicious and colorful.

This made Lu Yu very curious about the cooking skills of the chefs in the nobles' homes.

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 if the wind blew them. 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 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 urging them to death, smiled flatteringly and greeted Andrew the moment they saw him.

This is one of the few opportunities to be honest and lazy.

It was Turner's eldest son Andrew who showed some kindness to them.

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 they are now neglected and neglected."

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 they were thrown out, they would die.

Are you planning to kidnap yourself morally?

It is totally 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 this crawled to Lu Yu's feet on his hands and knees and kissed his shoes.

Some people even burst into tears while being kissed.
