Qinglong turned his head to Chunchan and said, "Chunchan, before this matter is decided, you can't confide a word, especially if there are guests present today, the full moon banquet is not over yet, and it can't cause panic, you go back to the front yard and back kitchen, the servants are all working there, you must pretend that nothing happened after you go back, do you know!" Qinglong's face became solemn, Chunchan looked at the Qinglong leader with a serious face, nodded heavily, and Xiao Xiazi hurriedly put the poisoned beef in a big bag.

Chunchan was about to push open the door and walk out, when she heard a loud voice outside, she heard that Miss Yan'er was arguing with the doorkeeper outside, "No, what are you doing with the door of this back kitchen, I have something important to do with Manager Xia, what is he doing in it alone!" ”

"Miss Yan'er, Manager Xia said that he has important things inside, and no one can go in, so don't embarrass the little one, the little one is also acting on orders!" Wen Chen looked at the Yan'er girl with an embarrassed face, this Yan'er girl is also gentle and lovely on weekdays, why is her temper so irritable today.

"Wenchen, can you get out of the way, I really have something to do with Mr. Xia." Saying that, Yan'er wanted to bypass Wen Chen, and wanted to push the door in, why is this kitchen so strange today, what is Mr. Xia doing in it alone?

Qinglong heard the dispute outside, and immediately opened the door from the inside, the Yan'er girl looked surprised, and then her face turned red, just now she made a loud voice, should it be heard by the Qinglong leader, she nodded slightly towards Qinglong, and shouted, "Qinglong soldier, why are you in the back kitchen?" Is Mr. Xia here? I'm looking for something with him! ”

Manager Xia stretched out his head from behind the Qinglong leader, and called out to Yan'er girl with a smile, "Yan'er girl, I'm here, what's the matter with me, wait for us to come out." ”

Miss Yan'er looked at the green dragon, red tiger, Xiao Xiazi, and the last one who came out was Chunchan with a flushed face, and when Miss Yan'er saw the four of them, her eyes widened in surprise, why is Chunchan here, what a strange combination of the four of them, they can still get together, it's just a matter of getting together, why do you have to close the door when you get together, and even let Wenchen guard the door, lonely men and widows are in the same room, aren't you afraid of others gossiping?

Qinglong turned his head and whispered to Chunchan, "Chunchan, have you remembered everything I said?" Chunchan glanced at Qinglong, nodded, and then blessed a few of them, and walked to the front yard.

Xiao Xiazi glanced at Qinglong and gestured to the bag in his hand, Qinglong hurriedly took the bag in Xiao Xiazi's hand and said to Miss Yan'er, "Miss Yan'er, if it's okay, we will take the first step, there are some things in the front yard that have not been dealt with yet!" Yan'er nodded, and Qinglong and Chihu also walked to the front yard.

Yan'er watched Qinglong and Chihu walk away, she turned her head and asked Xiao Xiazi strangely, "Manager Xia, what is a good day today, the four of you can get together, if you are with Qinglong and Chihu, I can still understand, what does it mean for Chunchan, the maid of Xueliuyuan, to come here?"

"Miss Yan'er, this matter is a long story, I will tell you slowly in the future, by the way, what are you doing with me? Is it that Madame's lunch is unappetizing?" Xiao Xiazi hurriedly changed the topic, trying to get by.

"It's not important, it's just that Madame doesn't like to eat beef balls these days? I didn't see it at lunch today, so I mentioned it casually, but Mrs. didn't say anything, I just saw that Mrs. has been hungry for this in recent days, so I came to ask to see if I could make some beef balls for dinner. Yan'er remembered that when Mrs. saw lunch, she also deliberately searched for it, Yan'er asked about the third lady, and the third lady just smiled and said that there were no beef balls today, so Yan'er came to the back kitchen to ask what the situation was.

"Beef, there is no fresh beef purchased on Chang'an Street today, you know, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, the quality of this beef is not good, these days of full moon banquet, the cattle farm has killed several cows one after another, the rest are some old cows and calves, the meat tastes firewood, so I didn't ask Wenchen to go to the cattle farm to kill the cattle back, tomorrow I will go to Chang'an Street with Wenchen early to see the beef, if there is a good one, I will buy it back to make beef balls for Mrs. Xiao Xiazi hurriedly explained, it turned out that Miss Yan'er came for this, but she still didn't hide after all, I hope that Miss Yan'er can believe her words.

"That's the only way, Mrs. this confinement taste, just like being pregnant, what you want to eat, you have to serve it on the table immediately, I heard Mrs. these days are talking about beef balls, and Mrs. when she was pregnant with the young general, she loved to eat the same sour plum, then I will go back to report to Mrs., you go to the street with Wenchen tomorrow morning to see if you can buy good beef, then I will go to serve Mrs. first." With that, Yan'er and Xiao Xiazi said goodbye to each other and walked towards the bedroom of the third lady Ye Wanqiu.

"Madam, I'm back, I just went to the back kitchen to ask Xiao Xiazi, it turned out that I didn't buy good beef, so I didn't cook beef balls, Xiao Xiazi said that tomorrow and Wenchen will go to the street early to see, tomorrow is the market day of Chang'an Street, there should be beef, don't worry, Madame, you can eat beef balls tomorrow." Yan'er pushed open the bedroom door and reported to Ye Wanqiu.

"Look at you, Yan'er, I told you not to ask, you still secretly asked, I didn't tell you, this must be no beef, you have to confirm, look at you!" Ye Wanqiu wiped the corners of her mouth, her stomach was full, and her mood was much better, she looked outside the house and said to herself, "I don't know if this noon banquet is over, has the general come back?"

This child's full moon banquet, although it is said that Ye Wanqiu gave birth to a child, should be to take the child out to participate in the banquet, but General Mo Lin does not want Ye Wanqiu and the child to be exposed too much, and besides, the guests are basically men, drinking and guessing boxing, Mo Lin does not want Ye Wanqiu to show up too much, so when welcoming guests in the morning, Ye Wanqiu and the child appeared brightly, and called her back to Zhiqiu Courtyard early, this custom is the master of the owner, so the guests are not strange, originally the ladies are not allowed to have too much contact with foreign men, For fear of causing something ugly, after this incident in the mansions of other high-ranking officials before, General Mo Lin was even more cautious.

"Madame, do you want me to go to the front yard and see how the feast is going?" Madame misses the general, I'll come as soon as I go, how about it?" Yan'er saw that the third lady was looking at the door as if she was looking at it, and hurriedly proposed to the lady.

"Forget it, don't bother the general, the general must still be busy!" Ye Wanqiu shook his head, thought for a while, and then said, "But there is nothing to do here now, and it doesn't hurt for you to go and have a look." The smoke and the ghost hurriedly blessed the lady, walked out of the house like a gust of wind, and ran towards the front yard.

Qinglong and Chihu, who were carrying beef, came out of Zhiqiu Courtyard and came to the small back kitchen, and saw that Chef Zheng was still guarding at the door, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and the three of them entered the ear room and locked the ear room from the inside, Qinglong threw the big bag on the ground, and Chef Zheng immediately stepped forward to open the bag, and saw the silver needle on the beef, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Qinglong Leader, this is from Manager Xia." Seeing Qinglong nodded, Chef Zheng hurriedly said, "Thank God, fortunately, the third lady didn't eat this poisonous beef, if the third lady really ate it, then my little life can't be saved." ”

"This matter, it can only be said that it is caused by our negligence, a few of us are categorically inseparable, fortunately nothing happened, if the third lady really had an accident, I think the general is looking at me and following him for many years, at most leave me a whole corpse." Qinglong looked at a large pile of vegetables on the ground, this head is going to be big, whether to tell the general about this matter, or plan to solve it privately.

Chihu looked at Qinglong with a sad face, and also wrinkled his big thick eyebrows, all these years, there has never been such a thing, this time at the full moon banquet, the patrol soldiers are more than twice as many as usual, and the entry and exit of this guest is also strictly guarded, thousands of calculations, still not counted this one.

"Commander Qinglong, you said that the old thing in the front yard, oh no, it's the old chef, is it an accomplice, if he wasn't picky, can we go outside and find these stall vendors? He is really strange, obviously the dishes purchased on Chang'an Street are very good, I have to make excuses to say that it is not good, I think about it now, I think he is very problematic, he is afraid that he is a traitor. Chef Zheng patted his head, thought about the ins and outs of the matter, and felt that the old thing in the front yard was really the most suspicious, so he added, "Even if the old chef is not a spy, then he is also the culprit, and he caused this incident." ”

"Chef Zheng, let's wait for this matter to be investigated, this time we are careless, this raw beef, it can't be detected as poisonous at all, and the beef is only found to be poisonous when it is cooked, you can imagine how careful and vicious this poisoned person is, this is completely a very new poison, and it is highly toxic, you see that the silver needle has turned black, several times more poisonous than the usual poison, this stain, is there still life? However, the old chef has a strange temper, which is well-known in Chang'an City, it is said that he has always been extremely strict with ingredients, which does not mean that he is a spy, because he has always been like this before, and it is not this time that he held a full moon banquet for the young general. ”

Qinglong interrupted Chef Zheng's words, he looked up at Chihu again, "Chihu, do you want to tell the general about this matter, this general has a lot of things to do today, I want to wait for those small stall vendors to chase them back, and after strict interrogation, I will tell the general tomorrow." ”

"Qinglong, just do as you say, if you wait to talk to the general about this matter, the general will greet guests at night, and then he will be restless, and the outside world will have to gossip again, after we interrogate those people, it is not too late to report to the general with a preliminary result!" Red Tiger nodded at Qinglong, if the general knew that the third lady had almost eaten something poisonous, he would definitely be furious, so let's wait until the day is over.
