Preparing a Banquet

Let's have a feast.

Lu Sheige took a carriage to Yiyuan alone.

She didn't even return to her own house, fearing that she would be targeted by the nuns sent from the palace.

The reason why Shen Zhengqing didn't take a car with Lu Shenge was because she had to go back to pack her clothes and didn't know if she could make it to Yiyuan tonight.

On the way, Lu Sheige thought about what he saw today and couldn't help but sigh.

It turns out that everything in the novel is a lie. Whenever you go to a banquet, there will definitely be troubles, such as pushing people into trouble, talking with guns and sticks, etc.

But when she looked at it today, she found that ladies like Gongsun Wanying did have the style of ladies in the ladies. No matter how they spoke or acted, they were lively and demure, but none of them were as scheming as in the novel.

Even if everyone was a little bit reluctant to deal with it, they were generous and did not hide it.

If I don't like you, just avoid it as much as possible. Just don't talk or eat together.

If we really can't avoid it, we can each tolerate it, and at most we can argue with each other verbally.

As for the ladies from the newly wealthy families of the imperial court, they lack confidence. They are more cautious in what they say and do, and their confidence is slightly lacking.

However, due to caution, everyone managed to remain harmonious.

As for choosing a wife for King Qin, Lu Sheige's head hurt thinking about it, and he didn't know what King Qin would like.

Anyway, Liu Wanting definitely can't look like that. At first glance, she looks like a white lotus soaked in green tea.

When passing by Jixiang Building, Lu Xiangge asked Chunhua to stop the car. She got off the car first and went to Jixiang Building to greet shopkeeper Li and told him to go to Yiyuan to find her in the future, not to Lu Zhai, so as not to find the wrong place or fail.

to people.

Hearing that Lu Xiangge was going to stay in Yiyuan for a while, and that the Shen family was also going there, shopkeeper Li quickly ordered his waiters to go to the back to prepare vegetables and get pastries.

"The fire has not started in Yiyuan yet. You should bring some snacks and fruits over there first. If your aunt and her whole family come there in the evening, you can ask Chunhua to come and I can prepare a banquet and send it over. If your aunt and her family come tomorrow,

You also ask Chunhua to come and bring you something to eat."

Lu Xiangge was not polite to Shopkeeper Li and nodded in agreement.

After the young man walked out of the door, shopkeeper Li whispered: "Do you know General Zhou?"

Lu Sheige raised his eyes: "Which General Zhou?"

"Zhou Yang, the nephew of General Lin, is from the second house of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion."

Lu Sheige's hand holding the teacup paused: "I know, today at the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, I had dinner at the same table with two girls from the third room of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion."

Hearing Lu Sheige say that he knew, shopkeeper Li felt reassured: "General Zhou has been here for about a quarter of an hour. He is sitting in the Orchid Hall. He asked you to come over and see you if he has something to do."

"Looking for me? How did he know that I would come to Jixiang Building today?" Lu Sheige couldn't understand why Zhou Yang was looking for her.

Shopkeeper Li: "I've been here for three days in a row. I think General Zhou also went to Zhenguo Palace today and came back to wait for me when he came back."

"You've been here for three days?" Lu Shege turned the tea cup in his hand without getting up, "Didn't he say what happened?"

"No, I just said you were here and asked you to come over. He has something to ask you."

Shopkeeper Li also couldn't figure out what General Zhou wanted to do with Lu Xiaosi.

Logically speaking, he and Xiao Si shouldn’t know each other!

"Something's wrong! Let him wait for a while." Lu Xiangge picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked, "I ate flower cakes at the Zhen Guogong Mansion today. Was it made by the pastry chef in the building?"

"It was made by the dim sum chef in the building. How does it taste?" Shopkeeper Li sat down opposite Lu Sheige, picked up the pot and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

Lu Lige said: "Yes, it's very delicious. We only shared one piece each. After eating it, we felt endless aftertaste and wanted to eat it again."

"You don't have to eat now. You have to go to the town government office tomorrow to help the dim sum chef. The dim sum served in the store these two days are not made by the master chef. The flower cake has to be made by the master chef to taste good. I'll wait for the master chef tomorrow.

Come, when it's done, I'll have it sent to Yiyuan."

Lu Sheige nodded: "Then send more tomorrow. In addition to my aunt and the others coming to stay in Yiyuan, I also want to give some to my aunt and King Qin to try."

My aunt liked the egg yolk cake last time. I will send some flower cakes this time. I think she will also like it.

Hearing that Lu Sheige was going to deliver snacks to the palace, shopkeeper Li frowned slightly: "How about we send the recipe to the palace and let the people in the imperial kitchen prepare it? We've already prepared it and sent it to the palace. It's a little inconvenient after all."

"It's okay, it's just for my aunt, not for the emperor."

There was a noise outside the window. Lu Sheige looked out and saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes pointing at two people wearing the uniforms of the servants of the Marquis of Wu'an and cursing.

"You bitch, you dare to stop even me. Go and ask that evildoer if he recognizes me."

The two boys were not annoyed when he pointed at them and scolded them. They only greeted them respectfully and called them "Second Master", but they blocked the doorway and did not give in.

Lu Sheige turned around and asked shopkeeper Li across from him: "Who is that person?"

Although the clothes she wore looked very luxurious, the satin she wore looked like it was made from a few years ago. The patterns and styles were all out of date. It was probably because she wore it sparingly and took great care of it, so it is still so bright now.

Shopkeeper Li put down the tea cup, stood up and took a look: "That is the second master of Wu'an Hou Mansion, and the biological father of General Zhou."

"He is here to see General Zhou?"

"Probably." Shopkeeper Li retracted his head, sat back, shook his head and sighed, "Master Zhou looks pretty good this week, but it's a pity..."

It would be hard for Shopkeeper Li to say the following words in front of Lu Sheige, a woman from the boudoir.

However, it can be said that no one in the entire capital knows about the scandalous affairs involving the second house of the Marquis of Wu'an.

"I heard that the two children born to the princess of the previous dynasty both lived with Master Zhou. After Master Zhou was exterminated from the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the Marquis of Wu'an left him a house and many farms. I heard that there are also

Two shops. If he could live a good life, these would be enough for the three of them to have food and clothing. But Mr. Tuesday and his two children had grown up well-clothed and well-fed, so how could they suffer. The farm was sold, and so was the shop.

No. Master Zhou knows that General Zhou has returned to Beijing and is looking for him everywhere, probably because he wants some money to spend."

"Shops?" Lu Xiange thought of the two shops that the third sister and the fourth girl from shopkeeper Li's family wanted to open a few years ago. What a coincidence, two of his shops were sold on Tuesday, and she just missed out and bought two.

"Yes, they are the two rooms I bought for you years ago. They are a bit small, but the location is good. You can get dozens of taels of silver from renting one out for a year. Two rooms are more than a hundred taels.

If it were an ordinary household, it would be enough for several years, let alone a farm in the countryside!"

Lu Sheige couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of the two small shops that were not even close to each other.

Zhou Yang was really cruel to his father this week.

As for Mr. Zhou and his son, the one-year rent for the two shops is not enough for them to cut the few pieces they want.

There was a lot of noise downstairs, but there was no movement at all in the Orchid Hall next door.

Lu Xiangge couldn't help but become curious about Zhou Yang. What on earth did this young general who could strangle the former princess to death in front of his father want to find her?
