Chapter 23 Transformation starts with eating
After listening to Yang Ming's analysis of the changes in the situation in recent months, Yunfeng gained a deeper understanding of this era, and thought to himself: 'In troubled times, human lives are really worthless! In less than a year, only an hour has passed.
In Xiaopingyang City, first the Liu family was executed, and then the Jin family was destroyed. It seems that no matter the emperors, generals, ministers, or nobles, they all lived a precarious life. The day before, a single word could determine everything.
A person's life and death can be reduced to a prisoner the next day, and even his family may be confiscated and his family may be exterminated. It would not be surprising if his head falls to the ground.
"What did General Yun think of?" Yang Ming reminded him when he saw him standing still in a daze.
"Haha, it's just something I felt for a moment." His thoughts were interrupted, Yunfeng said with a slight smile.
Yang Ming nodded and didn't ask him what he had realized. He just said, "It's getting late. Why don't Mr. Yun stay and have a casual meal together?"
A strange smile appeared on Yunfeng's face: "Yang Gong, I'm afraid you don't have enough food at home."
"Uh~!" Yang Ming then remembered Yunfeng's amazing appetite, and couldn't help but blush slightly on his face.
Seeing Yang Ming's embarrassed look, Yunfeng couldn't help but secretly laugh, but he put on a considerate look on his face and suggested: "Mr. Yang, why don't you call Yuehua, Yueru, etc. and the Han family's sisters-in-law?"
Come, each bring his own food, wouldn't it be more lively if we all sit together and eat together?"
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate?" Yang Ming was a little embarrassed. He was good at everything, benevolent, righteous, and loyal. His only flaw was that he was too polite and rigid. He had thoroughly implemented the concept of separate seats for men and women, so if he was not in the military camp
To eat with the soldiers was to eat alone at home, never with his wife and daughter. Later, during the march, Yang Ming even returned to his tent after finishing his meal.
Yunfeng knew about Yang Ming's habit. He felt that in order to change the society's disrespect for women at that time, we must first start with this old stubbornness! So he continued to persuade: "What's wrong? Auntie has worked hard.
, lively. What’s wrong with a family sitting together, chatting and having fun while eating, so what’s wrong?”
"This~!" A hesitant expression appeared on Yang Ming's face. He really yearned for the family happiness described by Yun Feng, but it was difficult to change the habits of the past few decades.
Having said all that needs to be said, Yunfeng knew that Yang Ming was currently engaged in an ideological struggle, and what he needed now was just to add more fire, so he put on a smile and said: "Yang Gong, please say hello to Auntie, I'll do it right now.
Go back and call Yuehua and the others." As he said that, he walked towards the door. As soon as he walked out of the door, he suddenly remembered something, stopped and turned around and said: "By the way, Yang Gong, Pingyangzhi
I hope you won’t mention it to Yuehua, lest she feel sad.” After saying that, he walked away!
"Alas~!" Looking at Yunfeng's back, Yang Ming felt helpless, sighed, and walked to the dining hall with a complicated mood.
As soon as they entered, four pairs of eyes glanced at Yang Ming, with some doubts in their eyes. Except for the two adopted daughters who were just adopted yesterday, his wife and daughter all knew that they had to prepare meals, and then
Go and invite Yang Ming to come to the dining hall, and never come in when not eating. As for the two new maidens, they also understand the principle of a gentleman staying away from the kitchen and not sharing a table with a woman!
"I've met Aweng~!" Yang Ming's three daughters saluted in unison.
"Get up, I don't need many etiquettes at home." Yang Ming waved his hand and said.
Yang Ming's wife asked in confusion, "Yanglang, the meal still has to wait for a while. Why did you come so early today??"
Yang Ming said with a bitter face: "Yun will come to have dinner in a while, so I came earlier."
Yang Ming's wife's expression changed, obviously thinking of Yunfeng's amazing appetite, and she scolded: "Oh, Yanglang, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Then she quickly greeted the three girls: "Huiyu, Xiaomei
, Xiaojie, your brother is coming to have dinner later, let’s make some food and prepare it.”
"No need to go to such trouble." Yang Ming waved his hand and said, "General Yun's wives are also coming, as well as the Han family. They have brought their own meals. We'd better pack up the mats on the floor, otherwise, these ten people won't be able to sit down.
."
Suddenly, the four women in the room were so surprised that they couldn't believe that these words came from Yang Ming's mouth, and they were all stunned for a moment.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and clean up? Don't make people laugh at our family for not knowing etiquette." Yang Ming shook his head helplessly, and personally moved Zhang Xiaoji from outside, and then the girls returned.
After a while, everyone helped, and soon the dining room was decorated.
Not long after, Yunfeng came to the dining hall of Yang Ming's family with a large group of women carrying pots and cakes.
After greeting each other, several people crowded together and sat in front of a table. At that time, it was a sharing system, so the food was divided into one portion for each person. In fact, Yunfeng was not big on this kind of group of people sitting at a table.
Satisfied, what he likes is more than a dozen people sitting around a big table to eat! But in this era there are no tables, chairs, and benches. It seems that he has to find some time to tinker with these things first.
Yang Ming and his wife were asked to sit at the top.
At first, the atmosphere at the table was a bit reserved, mainly because of the presence of Yang Ming, an old stubborn man. Yunfeng couldn't help but frown. In order to liven up the atmosphere, he started telling jokes, but slightly changed the inappropriate background.
Sure enough, as soon as a few jokes were told, the atmosphere immediately became lively. Not only were the women sitting laughing so hard that they were out of breath, but even Yang Ming, an old man, couldn't help twirling his beard and laughing. It was very funny.
The atmosphere soon became harmonious, and everyone was chatting while eating.
Yang Ming looked at the sincere smiles on the faces of his wife and daughter, and suddenly felt that this was actually quite good. Could it be that the etiquette and rules were more important than the happiness of his own family? He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.
For the mother and daughter, I also felt a sense of gratitude for Yunfeng's good intentions.
Sitting next to Yunfeng were Xiaodie and Xiaoju, both of whom poured wine for him with shy faces. This was deliberately arranged by Jin Yuehua and Liu Yueru, and they sat in front of Yunfeng with Yang Huiyu.
Opposite, three women were muttering in low voices, not knowing what they were talking about. After a while, Yang Huiyu's face was flushed, and she didn't dare to raise her head. She only occasionally glanced at Yunfeng quickly and secretly.
Below them were Han's sister Hua and Yang Ming's two newly adopted daughters. The four girls were laughing and laughing, and Yunfeng's heart was beating wildly. Yunfeng was almost certain about these two sisters.
, but their situation is different from that of Liu Yueru and Jin Yuehua. These two girls are lonely and helpless, so the three of them can be privately engaged for life. As for the sisters, they have a brother and a sister-in-law, and they must be married to a matchmaker before they can get married. However, everything is undecided now, and it is obviously not the wedding ceremony yet.
when.
As time went by, Yunfeng unexpectedly noticed that whenever Yang Ming's two adopted daughters glanced at Xiaodie and Xiaoju beside him, there would be a trace of envy in their eyes, and they would inadvertently look towards them.
When he was talking to himself, there would always be a hint of shyness on his face, which made him start thinking again.
