I just received the wine sent by Du Chuan, and Wu Mian sent the chef at home to report the menu. This time, it was not only Ouyang Kang and Su Cheng who were treating guests, but also Wu Mian wanted to invite some relatives and friends from the capital, so there were a lot of people.

But there is nothing else in the dilapidated garden, but the house is big enough. Especially the newly built pavilions and towers are very spacious and enough to entertain guests.

After the first time I entered the yard to repair the doors and windows, it was enough to accommodate the servants brought by these people. However, the place where the carriage was parked still needed to be cleaned up. Zhong Shan had already led the servants to open a door on the side, and read the chant

The style of the activity greenhouse made by Fu was rebuilt a straw hut. Then, put horses and the like there, and you won’t be afraid of it even if it rains or snows.

However, the most important thing for the banquet is the dishes.

This time, Nianfu has made a lot of progress. Compared to the last time, she can only prepare a few side dishes. This time she plans to launch two more hot dishes. However, she also knows that her level is not enough, so she still invites Song Siyuan and Sun Baixi to help.

Song Siyuan was happy to see what good food she wanted to cook, but Sun Baixi couldn't come. He said that there were also distinguished guests from Ruyiju that could not leave, but he recommended his two proud disciples to help.

This is enough. I heard that Brother Xiaofeng, who was not seen at the head and tail, finally came back, but Nianfu was a little moved. Since she became a disciple, she has always wanted to meet Brother Xiaofeng and talk about Zhu Silin's affairs.

Although Zhu Silin said that he had made a vow to sell himself to the Chai family for the rest of his life, Nianfu always felt that as a disciple, he had to do his best.

But Brother Xiaofeng has never been here. Since he finally came back, he had to hurry up and meet him. Unfortunately, Nianfu ran over and still went out, so she had to leave an invitation.

"Although I know it's a bit pretentious, my family is holding a drink and I want to invite the young master to sit there. Although the conditions are a little simpler, it is our wish."

The manager was a smart and polite person. He accepted her post and said smoothly, "If our master has time, he will definitely go."

When Nianfu left, he turned around and entered the backyard. He walked into a study room, turned a vase on the Duobao Grid, and saw a secret door on the wall next to him opened.

After entering the secret door, he closed the door, went down a stairs, and turned a corner. He walked into a secret room, "Master, it's me."

"Come in."

Hearing a familiar voice, the agency in front of the secret room was removed, and the chief manager dared to enter.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he could only smell a strong smell of blood. Brother Xiaofeng was lying on an exquisite bed, looking haggard. There was still blood on the white clothes on his chest, which showed that he was very injured.

There was a mute girl serving him next to her. When she saw the chief manager coming in, she gave a gift and retreated to the cubicle outside.

The chief manager handed Nianfu's post, "That Sister Mu is here again, probably because she wants to talk about Lao Zhu. She said that you are not here, so she left this."

Brother Xiaofeng took the post and looked at it. "I really can't tell that old Zhutou is quite talented. But since you know, why did you ask him to carry charcoal?"

The manager said, "You guys don't know anything. The old Zhutou was just rescued by us. When he was depressed, he used to be alcoholic and violently. Later, although he changed this problem, his hands were useless.

He was trembling and could no longer do meticulous work. He was teaching that sister now, but he couldn't do it himself. I once asked him if he could give us some recipes for dishes. But he said that their teacher's rules would be to pass on the dishes.

He valued prescriptions and only focused on Xingyi, so it cannot be passed on. Although Sister Mu wanted to redeem him repeatedly, he was loyal and righteous, saying that since he sold himself to the Chai family, he would still be a slave here in his lifetime."

Brother Xiaofeng's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and looked at the invitation thoughtfully, saying, "This girl is really good. She is doing well in the capital so soon. This time their family is holding wine, please

There are many well-known figures, right?”

The manager quickly understood, "Yes, this is also a good opportunity! We can send out the two pieces we have been holding for so long, right? I just feel a little sorry for this girl."

Brother Xiaofeng looked at the invitation, and the pity in his eyes flashed, but he quickly said firmly, "A general's success has been broken, how can those who achieve great things have the kindness of women? But now is not the time.

Invite some celebrities in the capital, their influence is limited after all. The Queen Mother’s Qianqiu Banquet is coming soon, and that woman will definitely return to Beijing to congratulate you. Wouldn’t it be better if she gave such a big gift then?"

Seeing his cold eyes, the manager was a little timid, "I'm still thinking carefully, but in this case, this girl may..."

When her eyes fell on the invitation in her hand, Xiaofeng's eyes were calm, "There are tall people on the top of the sky, which will at most cause her to be unable to survive in the capital. Then, I'll give her more silver.

But if I had known that she could make trouble so much, I would have been better off staying in the capital that day. Even if I took advantage of the incident of Duke Pingguo's mansion, I would not know how much it would have been. I went to Longmen Mountain in vain and was killed in vain.

Almost lost his life!”

Seeing that he was angry, the manager advised, "Who can predict the future? It is said that God has been blessed by God when he can come back. Who knew that a team of people came out of nowhere and happened to save your life? This is a disaster

If you don’t die, you will have blessings in the future.”

Brother Xiaofeng likes to hear these words, "Mr. Zhuo is afraid that he is not a small person. You are so happy to be greeted."

The manager nodded, "Now Master Sun is here to serve him. They are not used to rice, pork, and prefer beef, mutton and pasta. I think it comes from the grassland, but I don't know which tribe it is."

"No matter which tribe you want to go against the court, we are our friends. Moreover, the grassland cavalry has always been tough and can be of good friend, and it may be of great use in the future."

The manager said, "This time the Longmen Mountain is uprising, I have tried my best to help them, but the mobs are a bunch of loose sand, and tens of thousands of people have rushed to pieces for thousands of officers and soldiers?

”

Brother Xiaofeng sighed, "It's not their fault. It's really not that everyone has a wise ruler who can share it, so they can't work together."

The big manager said, "Why don't you--"

Brother Xiaofeng shook his head, "In the chaotic times like those in the past few years, my family couldn't find any opportunity, let alone me now? It's true that our Chai family has money, but after all, it's been so declining for so many years, I have to think about it again.

It is not something that can be followed by money alone.”

The manager said unwillingly, "But do you really want to make wedding dresses for others?"

"It can also be used to command the princes." Brother Xiaofeng sighed, "I just want to find this person who makes everyone surrender, but I have a headache. Over the years, I have asked you to investigate the affairs of the princes and grandchildren of the previous dynasty.

Is there any whereabouts?"

The chief manager shook his head in embarrassment, "It's just like that back then. Unfortunately, the old palace maid's bad things still failed. I don't know where she hid the child, and now I don't know whether it's dead or alive."

"Look for it! I have been waiting for so many years, so I can't just give up."

Brother Xiaofeng's eyes showed a perseverance that seemed obsessed with, "Don't keep staring at the last emperor, even his father and grandfather's, as long as it is the orthodox royal bloodline! By the way, you should pay attention to the capital city.

The situation, the rumors of choosing a concubine have been left for so long. There should be many people coming to the capital now. Find someone to find trouble appropriately. This can be regarded as a gift we give to His Majesty, and see how he will deal with it!"

The chief manager agreed to leave, and Brother Xiaofeng leaned back on the pillow again, glanced at the invitation, threw it into the brazier, allowing it to be swallowed by the ruthless fireworks.

The Duke of Pingguo Mansion.

Mrs. Tan looked at the newly appointed warehouse manager with a smile, "The Queen Mother's Qianqiu Festival is coming. I want to pick a few good materials to make some needles and threads for the Queen Mother. Do you have time to accompany me to the warehouse now?"

The manager frowned slightly, but replied quickly, "If the lady just wants to do small needles and threads, she doesn't need to go to the entire warehouse in person. Let the little one pick a few plain-colored ones to send to you, look at it."

Whatever you do, it's just cut it."

Mrs. Tan smiled a little stiffly, but she could only write good words. When she left, she slapped the table hard and almost knocked off her long nails that she had carefully accumulated.

The maid stood aside, not daring to say a word. Although Mu Shaoqin left, the sky in the Duke's Mansion was no longer the same as before. Mrs. Tan took whatever she wanted and used it, and had already gone.

Gone are the managers who will not deduct her food and clothing, but she cannot do so if she wants to stretch her hands a little longer.

As soon as I was angry, I saw Mama Lu hurried back.

The maid took her leave tactfully, allowing her master and servant to say something shameful. Anyway, her job is not staring at their master and servant, so someone will worry about what she should do.

Mother Lu didn't even bother to take a sip of water and said with a compliment, "Madam, do you know what I found?"

Judging from her expression, Mrs. Tan knew that there must be good news, "Tell me quickly!"

"It turns out that the girl who lives in the Poyuan and Xiao Juxian, the most famous actor in the city, jointly opened a pastry shop."

Mrs. Tan frowned, "What's the big deal? Don't hesitate if you have anything to say at once."

"Yes." Mother Lu didn't dare to show off anymore and went up to speak secretly.

Mrs. Tan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, "This is a good opportunity, but-" She looked outside the door and pressed her voice very low, "This matter has to be put aside. The prince likes that girl so much.

, I heard that when I left, I called her out of the city to meet her, but I can't tell her some of her words to the people in this mansion. If we want to do it, we must do it without any misunderstandings to us."

She suddenly remembered someone and felt quite regretful, "It's a pity that little girl is not here, otherwise it would be great if she would make a big deal."

Mother Lu thought for a while, "That's not difficult. The Queen Mother's Qianqiu Festival is coming soon, and Baoguang Temple will definitely prepare a ritual to pray for the Queen Mother. If there is a chaos there, the girl will run away by herself.

It's not about others' business."
