On this night, Wang Laohu watched a play with several ladies, which was the first scene that Wang Laohu accompanied several ladies to watch since the troupe entered Wang Laohu's mansion, and it was also the first scene she staged for Wang Laohu after Ouyang Yan and Wang Laohu separated.

Compared with the version of Peking Opera "The Case of Quanmei", there is a significant difference, Huangmei's opera style is tactful, she mainly shows the lingering love story of Qin Xianglian and Chen Shimei in the early stage, and Qin Xianglian starring Ouyang Yan has a frequency and a rhyme, with a board and an eye. Wang Laohu couldn't help but think of the first time he met her, the seven fairies she played.

In Wang Laohu's eyes, she is the tender Seven Fairies.

The end of the song is over.

"Xianggong, this play is over." Cheng Chengdao.

"Is it over?"

"When the performance is over, even the curtain call is gone."

"This performance, there is still plenty of time, it's so early today, how about the ladies have a supper?"

"Xianggong said this, I'm hungry." Wang Qingqing said.

Xu Wan also touched her stomach. This pregnant woman will have a much stronger appetite than usual, and it is normal for these two to be hungry.

"My sisters are hungry, so ask someone to cook some noodles." Cheng Chengdao.

"Burnt noodles?" Wang Qingqing was a little unhappy.

"What else do you want to eat at night?" Wang Laohu said.

"You see that people have a big belly, can't they eat something tasteful?" Wang Qingqing said.

"Look at the third lady, who is as picky as you." Wang Laohu said.

Feng Liu'er said: "Xianggong, you are not a woman, you don't know how uncomfortable a woman is at this time, and sometimes she will come up with something that is not this season at all." ”

"Madam, you have an avant-garde idea, let me tell you, there is such a day, not this season's things, we can also eat them." Wang Laohu said.

"I'll just say it casually." Feng Liuer said.

"Actually, ladies, I've thought about it a long time ago, especially the wives who want to give birth to me, today we will say goodbye to the unchanged noodle form for supper, let's play something new." Wang Laohu said.

Hearing Wang Laohu say this, Wang Qingqing became excited: "Xianggong, what delicious food have you prepared for us?" ”

"There's a lot of good food." Wang Laohu said, "We're going to hold a barbecue in this backyard tonight." ”

"Barbecue?" None of the ladies had heard of it, and they all thought it was a little strange.

Saiyun said: "I'm not hungry, you can eat, I'll go back to the room." ”

Cheng Cheng said: "This is Xianggong's intention, no matter how you say it, you have to wait for him to be busy for a while, eat for a while and then leave." ”

"I don't have the same mind as you." Saiyun went straight to what he wanted to say.

Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "My sister won't care about such a time." You see, the people have already brought everything up. ”

"To be honest, Daming is good at everything, but there are few things to eat, and if you want to have a barbecue, that's all there is to it, but keep it so that you can't forget it after eating it today." Wang Laohu said as he lit a charcoal fire.

Bian Chengcheng said: "Xianggong, I'll help you." ”

"No, ladies, just sit down and wait until I've finished the strings." Wang Laohu said.

I saw that the backyard suddenly became a makeshift kitchen, with charcoal fires, boiling water, and picking up vegetables, and plates of washed vegetables were placed side by side.

Wang Laohu held the ingredients in his hand and tied an apron around his waist, like a cook.

"Ma'am, smoke, smoke, smoke, you better move your position back." Wang Laohu saw that there was smoke drifting into the pile of women, so he said.

As soon as the charcoal fire came out, smoke wafted all over the backyard, and the women moved back, but it was much more refreshing.

"Xianggong is really, I have a big belly, and let me smell the smoke." Wang Qingqing said.

"Sister, you see that Xianggong is busy with this and that, and he didn't ask us to help." Xu Wan said.

Cheng Cheng smiled and said: "This is Xianggong, I have spoiled you one by one, I am afraid that you will be transformed, and I will hold you in the palm of my hand one by one." ”

"Where's the scent?" After moving for a while, Saiyun was the first to smell a fragrance.

"yes, I smell it too." Xu Wan said.

Because the barbecue venue is in the backyard, the people of the troupe are removing their makeup, and the makeup has not been completely removed, and they also smell a fragrance.

"How can it smell so good?" One said.

"It smells so good, you see I'm hungry again." The little junior brother said.

"I just went out to see, what is the Wang family doing tonight, Wang Gongzi and his wife are in the backyard?" One said secretly.

"Let me tell you, I saw Wang Gongzi cooking himself."

In the Ming Dynasty, a wealthy family, the male owner personally cooked for people, which is uncommon, it can be said that there is no such person. Hearing this, Ouyang Yan, who was removing her makeup, said: "People are rich and rich, and you are still gossiping like this." ”

"Senior sister." The little junior sister sitting next to him asked, "I wonder if Wang Gongzi has prepared something for us?" ”

"If you want to eat, you want to go crazy, he will make food for you as an adult, in the next life." An actor said.

"Come and have a taste, ladies." Wang Laohu like the ladies invited, "This barbecue is delicious while it is hot." ”

The group of women rushed over quickly, and Wang Qingqing asked, "What was it that caused the whole audience to smell just now?" ”

"It's called roasted wingtips. Since you know the goods so well, this string will be given to you. Wang Laohu handed Wang Qingqing a string.

"Sixth Madam, you are from the grassland, and you are used to eating meat, so I will bring you a lighter one. You haven't seen this yet, it's called a quail egg, and it was given to me by a merchant, though

Of course, there are only four small pieces, but you know that it is called animal ginseng, and it is very nutritious. ”

Wang Qingqing said: "Xianggong, you are partial, we don't have such benefits with a big belly." ”

"What else do you have?" Wang Laohu said as he handed a string of quail eggs to Saiyun, who took the quail eggs from Wang Laohu's hand and said, "There are only a few small eggs, whoever wants them will take them." ”

"This is for my sister, how dare others rob it?" Cheng Chengdao.

"Everybody has a share, everybody has a share." After a period of busyness, Wang Laohu has prepared several varieties, all of which are popular late-night barbecues for young people.

I saw Wang Biao come to the troupe, and an old man led him to Ouyang Yan. Wang Biao said: "Miss Ouyang, this is a snack that my son-in-law sent to you." ”

Ouyang Yan looked at the barbecue in Wang Biao's hand and burst into tears......

Wang Laohu hurried to the river, because someone had reported to him that a floating corpse had been found in the river and asked Wang Laohu to go and take a look.

Wang Laohu immediately took Pan Tai, Wang Biao, Feng Sheng and others to the place of the incident.

This is a not wide river in Hangzhou, it is also an inland river, although there are some people on both sides, but it is also a remote place, so there will not be many pedestrians passing here.

There is some green grass growing along the river.

When Wang Laohu arrived at the location, there were not only officials by the river, but also some people around him.

The body had been salvaged, covered with a white cloth on the body, and Ma Lishang stepped forward and said to Wang Laohu: "General Wang, you have a lot of ideas, and this time I want to trouble you to come and show us." ”

"Master Ma, it is incumbent upon us to assist the government office." Wang Laohu asked, "Who first found this body?" ”

"It's this village girl." Ma Li said.

Wang Laohu looked at the village girl and saw that she was in her thirties, so he asked, "This woman, how did you find this corpse?" ”

"I live near here, today I came to the river to wash clothes, I don't want to see the river floating and heavy, I thought it was a piece of clothing, but when I looked closer, it was amazing,...... It's a person, so I immediately reported it to the government. ”

"You're saying that from this vantage point to the river, you found this man." Wang Laohu asked again

"Yes, sir."

"Master Ma, when you arrived, where did you pick up the corpse?"

Ma Li said: "It's just over six feet in front of you. Lord Wang, is this related to the case? ”

Wang Laohu smiled, "It takes about half an hour for this village woman to run from here to the mansion, and Lord Ma will come over again, and then arrange for the boat to be salvaged, not to mention an hour, and it will take more than an hour and a half to add up to the front and back, but this corpse has only floated from here in the river to there." ”

"Lord Wang, what do you mean by that?"
