49. Family Dinner

The sumptuous dinner is ready and will be held soon.

Lovey sat on the main seat of the long table in the dining room, one left and one right were Evelyn and Lodell.

As the current lord of the territory, even if his grandmother, Duke Defen, arrived in person, he would sit in the lower seat according to the clan rules.

Evelyn naturally had no objection to this.

In the future, the rankings were Xiqi and Mussophie. One was a distinguished guest and the other was a housekeeper with a high status.

Later, there were scholar Bruno and maid Triss.

Both of them are older, Bruno is in his nineties, with white hair and a twilight age. When he was young, he was Evelyn's teacher, and finally followed him to the territory. He is responsible for assisting the lord in handling all matters in Donggang City.

Without him, Lovi would not have been able to patrol the territory everywhere and would not even dare to go out.

It is worth mentioning that Bruno has immortal blood and is expected to live to be over 120 years old. So there is no need to worry about old age and death for the time being.

Triss, the maid, was a fanatical supporter of Evelyn. She looked about forty years, but was actually sixty-seven years old. She was the maid under Evelyn during the Duke of Defen. She had always insisted on her regular position.

She has the strength of a person who breaks the limit, and her appearance is aging and life span is delayed for twenty years.

Finally, there was Mia and Zoe who came to have a meal.

A total of nine people sat on the long table.

Enjoy red wine, meat steak, white bread and various dishes.

As for Lanlan, the chef Emu, the attendants and the guards on duty, there is no longer this table.

Simple status division reflects class.

Luo Wei was actually a little disgusted. However, thanks to this, he didn't want to break this unspoken rule.

If no one cares about him, there will be no need to do anything in the future...

Lowe lowered his head and used a silver dinner knife to cut the meat chop.

It was already very dark outside. He snapped his fingers and lit the oil lamps on the copper frames on both sides.

The pulsating flames of the oil lamp emit a faint fatty fragrance.

There is actually a magic lamp directly above the restaurant, which is brighter in the light, but it costs more to consume magic stones.

So save some.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was quiet and no one spoke.

It is a rule to eat or not. Unless it is more important than eating, people will not discuss it at the table.

On the first day of the lord's return, he made an exception to open a bucket of red wine.

Lodell drank in a cup of glasses, his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape comfortably.

Luo Wei glanced at her mother and found that she was looking at her.

"When are you going to marry Lodell?" Evelyn let out a mental fluctuation.

"After her coming-of-age ceremony," Lovey responded.

"That's the end of this year?"

"Yes."

Lodell and Lodley were born in the same year. Lodell was born on February 17, 1768, and Lodell was born on December 2 of the same year.

Mainland customs regulations.

The coming-of-age ceremony is usually held on the 20th birthday of the Xun Year.

After that, they were only nineteen and twenty years old. They felt a little rushed to get married.

Lovey wanted to play for another two or three years, but Lodell would never agree.

She has been waiting for this day for too long.

The topic of marriage is always on your lips.

A common phenomenon in the world can get married after the age of fifteen, only the nobles advocate late marriage.

Luo Wei was not used to using knife and fork, so he told Lan Lan to send chopsticks.

Ignore the surprised gazes of people around me and flexibly use chopsticks to pick up food and eat.

Anyway, the clan rules do not stipulate that the lord must use a knife and fork to eat, and the people present cannot have a high status as him, so he stipulates it.

However, it is inevitable that some people will think that the lord has lost his dignity.

But it doesn't matter! Sooner or later, what he does will be believed as a criterion.

Lovi roughly filled his stomach, picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth, leaving a sentence "Please use it slowly, everyone," and then left the restaurant alone.

It's around seven o'clock in the evening now.

Luo Wei didn't want to go to bed so early, so he went upstairs to the study on the fifth floor.

Light an oil lamp.

I picked up a bamboo board and a carving pen and started working.

Lovie carved and painted the pattern of the still on the bamboo surface.

It was probably an airtight iron kettle, linked to the pipe, plus a wooden barrel that received condensation of water vapor.

There is no simpler invention than this.

Lovey looked at his masterpiece on the bamboo board with pride while thinking about the omissions.

Suddenly I thought of something more troublesome.

Will the heavy metal exceed the standard when boiling water in an iron kettle?

It's a bit of an unreasonable worry, but it's not all an irrelevant worry.

For the sake of his health and his family, he came up with two solutions. One was to use a clay pot and the other was to use a silver pot.

The former is cheaper, but has no technical capabilities.

The human civilization in this world has no history of using pottery.

A silver pot is OK, but the cost is high. It will cost at least a few thousand silver dollars to build a pot.

He could only use iron or copper utensils for the time being, and Luo Wei fell into deep thought. Drinking a little water exceeding the standard for a short time will not have a big impact.

It is necessary to change it for a long time and invent a clay pot that can boil water.

Always feel a little uncomfortable! Love hugged his head...

The oil lamp suddenly went out...

Lodell stood in front of the study in his pajamas.

"Okay, go to bed."

Lovey rubbed his eyes and stood up.

He knew that using an oil lamp was not good for glasses. However, he had nothing to do at night and couldn't sleep.

There must be some entertainment!

For example, playing cards, playing chess, etc.

If he creates life at night, he will not be exhausted if he continues for a long time?

Forget it, I was very tired today, so I'd better take a break early.

Luo Wei quickly consumed all his mental power in the bedroom and fell asleep.

Fulin Castle is very quiet at night.

Everyone has the habit of going to bed as soon as possible at night.

Blue is no exception.

But she felt a little unable to sleep.

The empty room has no sound at all, making people feel insecure.

In the past, I was accompanied by my family, but now I am alone.

Lan Lan got up and groped in the darkness and pushed open the window.

Holding the windowsill, looking down, the inner garden of Fulin Castle was planted with luminous moss of various colors.

A beautiful and dreamy scene like a fairy tale.

Lan Lan watched for a while in a daze. If it weren't for the large temperature difference at night, she would have opened the window to sleep.

In the garden downstairs, Mussophie was walking by the pond with her hands behind her back. She was leisurely in her posture, and she swayed slightly after taking a step.

On his head, Luluo pushed away the bamboo hat with force, "Thank you, butler."

"Damn it, when did you run over my head again?" Mussophie hurriedly grabbed the hat about to fall, and her good mood was gone.

"Sir, please don't be stingy? I am an employee of this family now! Lord Evelyn allows me to choose a seat at will."

"Where do you want to live?"

"The butler in the bamboo hat!"
