C15

After Tang Yue finished breakfast, he decided to walk around the house. After all, this was his next residence, and he did not even know which way the door was facing.

He had originally wanted the four guards to take him for a stroll, but just as he stepped out of the door, he saw Lord Shan kneeling in front of his room. He blinked and asked, "What happened to you?"

Kneeling in front of his door as a god?

Shan raised his smiling face and said with a hint of excitement, "Husband, from now on, this servant will specifically serve you. What instructions do you have for me?"

Tang Yue became happy after hearing this. After getting along with him for so long, he really liked this grandpa, he was loyal and well-hidden. In the future, when he goes out, he would not need to worry about encountering criminals.

The mountain had stayed in the mansion for dozens of years, and if one kept their eyes closed, they could walk around the mansion once. With him here, Tang Yue didn't need anyone to follow him as the two began to wander aimlessly.

"Husband, your servant will have a proper name from now on."

"What's his name?"

"Tang Shan."

"…" The corner of Tang Yue's mouth twitched, and he chuckled: "Then congratulations." Wasn't Uncle Shan called Tang Shan in the past? He had always thought that the servants carried the family name.

Only then did Tang Yue understand, that all the slaves had no surname. Unless the main family gave them a surname, otherwise, they would only have a name and not a surname.

The servants who were better than slaves were commoners, and worked hard because they could not live. Although their lives were also in the hands of their employers, there was hope for them to regain their freedom in the future.

To put it bluntly, it was a contract job. They would use their youth to earn some money to support their family, and when they were released after ten or twenty years, they would be free.

Tang Yue knew that in this era where economies were underdeveloped, the goal of most people was to eat their fill and dress warmly. However, this seemingly simple goal was difficult to achieve.

The Yueyang Marquis's Mansion took up a lot of space, but it was not very organized. There were either trees or grass planted between the courtyard walls, which meant that this was a place where martial artists who did not understand elegance lived in.

"Going through this door leads to the backyard, which is where the concubines live. Usually, they are not allowed to go out."

This Tang Yue understood that in this era where men were revered, a successful man could occupy countless women. Other than the principal wife and famous concubines, the other women did not have any social status and were only subordinate to men.

Tang Yue secretly thought: If he was in Yueyang Marquis, he would also abandon his wife and children and return back home. Which normal man would be willing to give up a forest for a little sapling?

"This way. After crossing the bridge, we will be at the place where the ladies live. Do you want to take a look, my husband?"

Tang Yue was dazed for a moment before understanding that the little lady was referring to the Seven Fairies' younger sister. He nodded: "Let's go and pay our respects to the sect."

The courtyard where the girls lived was surprisingly clean, and the flowers and plants all over the place were very pleasing to look at. The sound of a zither could be heard, accompanied by a few sweet words.

The ladies of a rich family would probably have to learn zither music, calligraphy, and painting since they were young, right? Tang Yue thought: No wonder everyone had such good upbringing.

It was obvious that Director Tang had forgotten that he had been "reared" by his elder sister as soon as he had entered the room.

Moreover, the girls of this era did not really pay much attention to learning zither, painting, or calligraphy. Most of them were illiterate, and only learned some simple arithmetic to make it easier for the butler.

The seven fairies of Yueyang Marquis's Mansion, on the other hand, started learning how to read at the age of five, and at the age of six, focused on learning a skill according to each person's hobbies. At this time of the day, they had to uniformly learn etiquette and education.

"What are you doing here?" As expected, the eldest sister was fierce as usual as she glared at Tang Yue with her hands akimbo.

Before Tang Yue could speak, a gentle voice came from inside the room: "Ya, do not be rude.

Tang Ya angrily put down her hand, and asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "What brings you here, brother?"

Tang Yue was shocked by her two styles, and replied politely: "Passing by here, I'm here to visit my sisters."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a few small heads peeking out from the windowsill, all of them staring at him with wide eyes.

He raised his hand in a classic smile. "Hey! "Good morning, sisters!"

A few lolis laughed out at the same time and said in unison, "Hello, Brother!"

"Brother, the candy you sent yesterday was very tasty. Do you still have more?" Tang Yue recalled carefully. He remembered that he was the second ranked sister, and also a young miss who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Tang Ya saw that his sister had moved her elbow and scolded: "Ah Wen, it's not like we can't afford those cheap things at home, it's good enough that you want to eat and let people buy them."

Tang Wen smiled shyly, but didn't reply. Actually, everyone knew that what she valued was only her heart.

Tang Yue instantly liked his second sister, "If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time, but you can't eat too much sugar, it will cause your teeth to decay!"

In this era, there were no toothbrushes or toothbrushes. Those that did not had the conditions would be washed with salt water, and those that did not would have to be washed with water.

Tang Wen probably didn't understand the meaning of tooth decay, but he knew that it was bad for the teeth, so he nodded his head obediently. "Then I'll eat two a day … "No, just one is enough!"

"I want it too …" A tender voice sounded in unison.

Tang Yue laughed heartily. After coming to this strange world, his uneasiness had been cured instantly. He was truly a group of cute little angels.

"Alright, it's a deal!"

His sisters all thought at the same time: Brother's smile is so gentle, much more amiable than Father's.
