For the evening practice dinner, the maids of the City Lord's Mansion were arranged under the leadership of Mama Xu.

The old lady likes to watch the play very much, and in order to make the old lady happy, Mama Xu ordered someone to set up a temporary stage on the emerald lake. In recent years, the old lady's eyes have become worse and worse, if the light on the stage is not enough, she can't see the people on the stage.

pointed out the side of the Lotus Pavilion Water Pavilion, and Mama Xu personally came to the kitchen to inspect.

Chef Liu, who was in charge of the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion, was discussing tonight's dishes with several of his apprentices, and when he heard that Mama Xu had come in person, Chef Liu hurriedly took a group of people to the door to pick them up.

Mama Xu was welcomed into the kitchen, she took a look at the ingredients, and said to Chef Liu beside her: "General Yang likes to eat steamed crabs the most, I remember that there are a lot of mountain crabs that the eldest young master brought back, you can steam more tonight, be sure to let General Yang have a good time." ”

As for the other dishes, Mama Xu asked Chef Liu to match them herself.

Chef Liu pondered, General Yang likes to eat crabs, so let's have a crab banquet tonight.

However, crabs are cold, and it is easy to get sick when they eat too much, so when the mountain crabs are put into the steamer, he also specially ordered to add more ginger and shallots to suppress the cold of the crabs.

In the evening, the sunset burns the sky red, and also gilds the earth with a touch of orange.

At this time.

On the surface of the emerald lake, which is green in color, there is a faint layer of mist, and the mist is also a faint emerald color. The pale orange color intersects with the emerald mist, and suddenly turns into a sparkling seven-colored rainbow, which is beautiful.

The Heting Water Pavilion has been properly arranged, and the invited troupe has also been sent to the stage by boat by the house.

As soon as it gets dark, the hosts and guests come over, and the banquet can be held.

Because after lunch, many of the guests who spent the night in the City Lord's Mansion left one after another, so tonight's farewell banquet was only the family of Mrs. Tai, General Yang, and "Qu Tianlin" and his wife.

It was very cool at night, Dongfang Mo changed the blue pink bandeau skirt that Morning Frost helped her pick during the day, and instead wore a goose yellow embroidered chrysanthemum pattern to stay in the fairy skirt.

"Qu Tianlin" also changed into a crescent white robe, a royal blue brocade belt was tied around his thin waist, and a jasper transparent Ruyi hung around his waist.

The two walked side by side, looking like a pair of golden boys and girls under the Guanyin seat, and they were very worthy.

Mrs. Tai and General Yang were chatting, and when they saw the two people coming towards them, their eyes unconsciously fell on "Qu Tianlin".

General Yang took the lead in retracting his gaze, and said to the old lady with a worried face: "Auntie, most of the prescriptions that Mr. Hanshan prescribed this time, and most of the nephews have already been found. As for the two flavor......ed medicines of Millennium Blue Ice Pith and Phoenix Tears," General Yang sighed slightly, "There is still no way to find it." ”

If she had heard the news before the afternoon, the old lady would have been sad for a long time. But-" When the dragon came back in the afternoon, the flying pigeon came back with a message, saying that he had found the thousand-year-old blue ice pith, and as for the phoenix tears...... He got the news that seven months later, there was an underground auction in Jinyu Trading House, and among them was Phoenix Tears! ”

The old lady thought in her heart: Dongfang Mo's eight characters really brought good luck to Lin'er, and as soon as she entered the door, she brought such a surprise to the Qu family.

There was a faint hope in her heart, maybe one day, she would really be able to see the picture of Lin'er walking side by side with Mo'er like this.

Hearing this good news, General Yang's resolute face also rarely laughed, "Haha...... That's great! He lowered his voice again, "I'll tell my father the good news when I get back, and if he knows, I don't know how happy he will be." ”

General Yang's father is the eldest brother of Mrs. Tai, and now General Weiyuan.

Thinking of her brother's habit of drinking when he was happy, the old lady couldn't help frowning, "You have to stop your father and let him drink less." ”

"Auntie, you don't know my father's temper." General Yang said with a sad face: "Except for you, who can persuade him." ”

The old lady nodded, yes! As for her brother's temper, only she can cure it!

"I heard that Feng Lin took Lin'er's daughter-in-law to Lin Pavilion." General Yang asked casually.

As soon as she heard her nephew mention this matter, the old lady's face became more and more bright, "Xuanlin came over in the afternoon to report, Mo'er already knows about Lin'er." Listening to Xuan Lin, the relationship between their young couple is very good. ”

She had inspected the quilt and bed sheets that the mandarin duck had brought this time, and when she saw the traces of chastity symbolizing it, the old lady felt that the day when she would hold her great-grandson was not far off.

Thinking in her heart, she couldn't help but stare at Dongfang Mo's lower abdomen.

"Grandmother, uncle, why are you laughing so happily, Tianlin and I have heard it from afar." Dongfang Mo had a sweet smile on her face, but her scalp was actually numb.

She was so numb that she was seen by the old lady, so before the person got close, she hurriedly greeted and diverted the attention of the old lady.

The old lady really retracted her gaze, she had now pinned all her hopes on Dongfang Mo, and even the tone of her voice unconsciously became intimate, "Your uncle will return to the imperial capital tomorrow, and he and I are talking to each other." Now that you're here, let's start eating. ”

Before Mrs. Tai's words fell, Mama Xu had already let people hold the rice and make the dishes, and the maids who served the master's rice also held the dishes in turn with their hands on the plates.

General Yang was happy when he saw that the main dish was crab.

"Qu Tianlin" - no! It should be Feng Lin who chose the fattest mountain crab and sandwiched it into General Yang's bowl. "Uncle, this mountain crab grew up eating mountain medicinal food, which can invigorate blood and relieve pain, disperse blood stasis and eliminate symptoms, and is the best for recovering from bruises."

General Yang has been fighting in all directions all year round, and he has not been injured anywhere, and when he heard that this mountain crab has such a miraculous effect, he not only couldn't wait to try it.

Feng Lin also gave one to the old lady and Dongfang Mo respectively, and the maids who served the master's meal skillfully helped Dongfang Mo peel the crab shell. She tasted the crab meat, her mouth was full of strong herb astringency, and she couldn't help but pick up the pear blossom dew on the table and take a sip.

At this time, Mama Xu took a booklet and asked Mrs. Tai to order a play, and Mrs. Tai read the play list on the booklet and ordered a play "Female General".

Mama Xu turned around and instructed a little maid to let her go and talk to the little maid waiting by the boat, saying that the old lady wanted to play "The Female General".

After getting the order, the little servant of the city lord's mansion who was waiting by the boat couldn't help but row the boat to the temporary stage of the theater troupe and let the class owner arrange the performance.
