My summons are weird
Chapter 41 41. Slave
For the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Yas, the biggest event tonight is the party held at Viscount Turner's mansion.
Without the shackles of the older generation, it is completely a social place for young people, which makes the noble children who are used to being disciplined by their families full of expectations for tonight.
Those who already have a sweetheart are looking forward to the beautiful moments of intimacy at the party.
Those with tasks in the family are listening to the elders' entrustment time and time again.
Those with a stubborn personality were severely reprimanded and warned by their parents.
Different families, different ideas.
At the same time, a piece of news spread among the crowd.
A distinguished guest will also participate in the evening.
A well-informed person has long known that this person is Lu Yu who has been guaranteed by the old Drake. Everyone is at a loss about this Marquis who came from an extremely distant country.
They didn't understand why he was able to attend the social evening of the children of the local aristocrats, and why he could even be greeted by the eldest son of the Turner family, Andrew, in a car.
In fact, when they were discussing, 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.
Naturally, you don't have to arrive so early for the party, but last time Andrew had a meal of tomato beef brisket and garlic beef from Lu Yu.
As a well-educated child, Andrew invited Lu Yu to taste their family's food according to the etiquette.
Knowing 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 was also a ruthless person who accompanied the Second King to conquer the Goblins in the East.
In aristocratic circles, his reputation is not very good.
After all, he was so closely bound to the royal family that it made people think that the Turner family was a dog of the royal family.
The nobles who wished for the continuation of the feudal system would naturally not treat their family too much.
Old Turner just exchanged a few words with Lu Yu, 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 come to play with him and listen to what you said.
Andrew led Luther into the dining room of his mansion, and ordered the servants to bring up the prepared food quickly.
Bread made from high-quality flour was placed on a tray and delivered to Lu Yu.
The gloved waiter helped Lu Yu cut a large piece of bread with a knife, and then took colorful sauce bottles from the dining car and stacked them in front of Lu Yu.
Seeing that Lu Yu didn't intend to do anything, the servant who served Lu Yu thought it was a signal to let him feed, so he specially changed a younger girl to ask Lu Yu's intention.
Lu Yu was still admiring and sniffing different jams, but he was stunned for a while when he heard the people beside him say that.
To eat a piece of bread, you have to be served and fed, how disabled is it?
Seeing Lu Yu waving his hands impatiently, the servant stood there in fear, looking at the butler behind him in bewilderment.
Andrew, who went into the kitchen to check the situation, came out and saw this scene, and clicked his tongue: "I only let you serve the food, and I didn't let you disturb the distinguished guests, all back down."
After many servants withdrew, Andrew sat across from Lu Yu, and apologized: "They don't know the dining habits of the country of Seris, you're laughing at me."
While spreading jam and honey on the bread, Lu Yu asked, "Are you all so particular about your food?"
"Are you referring to the servant's service just now?" Andrew smiled. "Actually, I don't like it either. Compared to having someone standing next to me feeding me, I prefer the atmosphere of eating in the Marquis' mansion that day."
"However, not every guest is like Master Lu Yu. Some people who visit Turner's house are very polite."
"If you don't give enough respect and considerate service, the Turner family will lose face among the nobles."
Got it, nobles have a lot of shit.
Two bowls of piping hot beef soup arrived.
With bread and peppered beef soup, it was not a bad breakfast.
However, Lu Yu was really tired of eating bread.
In Yass, breakfast options are really limited.
Serfs and slaves can basically only eat some bran and chaff, sometimes not necessarily.
When the poor have something to do, they drink gruel to satisfy their hunger, and eat some full stomach at noon.
Ordinary people can eat some black bread, but not much, that is, to improve the taste to satisfy their cravings.
People like Andrew can have more choices in eating.
It's just that this choice is just to enrich the bread sauce.
Lu Yu wanted to eat steamed stuffed buns, wontons, dry noodles, and snail noodles, but there were none of them here.
This also caused Lu Yu to cook breakfast himself.
If it wasn't for Andrew's invitation, he would have planned to make steamed buns with noodles today.
Thinking of Sigrid, who is watching the house at home, will eat leftovers all day today...
"For Chinese food, I also prepared stewed beef brisket with tomatoes and beef with garlic. Please taste the craftsmanship of the chefs of the Turner family."
Lu Yu has admired the signature dishes of some taverns in the Kingdom of Yas, and Da Luan and Mu Mu are frequent customers, and there are very few dishes that can taste delicious.
This made Lu Yu have a strong curiosity about the cooking skills of the chefs in noble families.
After breakfast, Andrew took Lu Yu to visit Turner's family business, planting.
Standing on the high slope of the mountain behind the mansion, Lu Yu raised his eyes and saw countless ragged and skinny serfs working hard in the divided fields.
It was spring plowing time, and there were no traces of livestock in the fields, only dark people waving farm tools.
Maybe it was because they were standing too high, Lu Yu only felt that they were ants, working hard under the urging of servants who were waving whips and whipping flowers.
Lu Yu suggested to take a closer look, and Andrew agreed.
Their thin bodies were so weak that they would fall over when the wind blows, and even the farm tools seemed to weigh more than their bodies.
Their eyes were sunken, cloudy and numb, and the skin on their faces cracked like a dry, cracked riverbed.
The haggard ones stopped one after another, and turned their heads to look at Lu Yu and Andrew.
A rare smile appeared on their black and thin faces, because they kept waving their whips, as if the servants who were urging for their lives greeted Andrew with a flattering smile the moment they saw Andrew.
This is one of the few opportunities where you can be lazy and aboveboard.
It was the little kindness of Turner's son Andrew to them.
Lu Yu was walking on the ridge of the field, feeling the sights cast from all directions, and suddenly felt the wind blowing.
Lulutis in Lu Yu's backpack didn't say a word.
The Turner family's reclaimed land is very fertile black land, and the harvest is good every year, and they can earn a lot of money just by selling grain.
This is also the reward they got for hugging the thigh of the royal family.
"Such a good land, why don't you find more livestock to assist in farming, isn't it more efficient?"
Although the servant in charge of managing these slaves didn't know Lu Yu, but seeing his young master personally accompanying him, he knew that he was a remarkable person.
He smiled and explained: "Whether it's a cow or a horse, or a mixed-blood monster, you need money, it's too expensive."
"Besides, livestock and monsters need a lot of rations to raise, how can they compare with them?"
"However, our young master is kind-hearted, and he can take care of a full meal a day, which is different from other families."
After beating the whip, the servant turned his head and yelled at the slaves in the field, "Isn't it?"
This servant was very fond of his young master, and after a while, the sparse "yes", as well as praises and praises for Andrew floated into Lu Yu's ears.
Lu Yu smiled, and said casually: "It's really amazing to make them full."
Andrew was a little flattered by Lu Yu's praise, he 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 led to Lu Yu by the servants.
"There are two small pieces of wasteland behind your mansion, so it's a pity that no one takes care of them now."
Andrew pointed to the slaves and said, "I'll give these to you so that you can have more people to take care of them."
Andrew spoke sincerely, but Lu Yu remained expressionless.
You dare to give it, can I accept it?
Who knows if this is eyeliner thrown by someone behind you?
"No, I'm just staying in Yas temporarily, and I'll continue my journey sooner or later. I don't need extra people." Lu Yu said, "Thank you for your kindness."
Andrew was embarrassed, and 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 being led.
"Wait."
Old Turner, who arrived at an unknown time, saw this scene and hurried over.
"Since Andrew's words have been exported, 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 are not accepted, and throwing them out is a dead end.
Is this going to kidnap yourself morally?
The moral kidnapping of an aristocrat is completely unworkable, doesn't old Turner know?
"Then release their slave status, steward, you take them down, help them complete the formalities, and give them a few copper coins by the way, so that they can settle down smoothly."
Everything happened too fast, and I was still farming in the field at the last second, and it is very likely that I will be trapped here to death for the rest of my life.
But now, he has broken away from his status as a slave and become a free man.
Several slaves prostrated themselves 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 that you should thank."
The conscious slave crawled to Lu Yu's feet together and kissed his shoes.
Some people even cried when they kissed each other.
