Admiralty's Palace. Hall.

Li Xiaotong sat on the main seat on the left side of the hall, and Gui Liang sat on the right side. The two of them represent the heads of the Li family and the Guerjia family, and it is natural for them to discuss Li Zhen's marriage together. As the admiral and governor of Guangdong, Lord Li could only sit down and listen to Gui Liang and Li Xiaotong talking.

Gui Liang said lightly: "Hongyi and Zhilan have already set a wedding date, and they can't live together for the time being. The old man bought a house in the city and took Zhilan away temporarily. Wait for the day of the wedding, and then hand over Zhilan to Hongyi. ”

Li Xiaotong nodded and said: "This is reasonable, but the little two are like glue, they have never separated, and now they must be a little unaccustomed to leaving suddenly, let my younger brother go to the backyard to talk to Zhilan, what do you think?" ”

Gui Liang didn't stop him, and directly agreed.

Li Zhen got up and retreated, and walked towards Zhilan's courtyard. Zhilan was talking with Da Fu Jin, and she already knew about the temporary separation from Li Zhen, and she had a faint sadness and joy in her heart. Dafu Jin saw Li Zhen walk in, didn't say anything, got up and walked towards the front hall, leaving the space for Li Zhen and Zhilan.

The two of them were in the courtyard, staring at each other, with a strong affection in their eyes.

For Zhilan, Li Zhen must like it in his heart, and he has already fallen in love with this girl. Zhilan chased from Beijing to Shanghai, and followed Li Zhen from Shanghai to Guangzhou, even if it was a stubborn stone, she also got her senses.

The two hugged each other and spoke softly.

An hour later, Gui Liang sent someone to ask Zhilan to leave, and Li Zhen reluctantly sent Zhilan away.

In the lobby!

Li Xiaotong saw that Li Zhen was listless, and joked with a smile: "Brother, September 251 will be here, soon." Look at your reluctant bear, like Gui Liang took Zhilan away and didn't let her come back. ”

Li Zhen retorted: "What's the matter, I'm just not used to it." ”

Li Xiaotong grinned and saw Ye Chengxin walking in from outside the hall.

Ye Cheng saluted Li Zhen and Li Xiaotong and said, "My lord, there is a fat man named Liu Tiezhu from outside the mansion. Liu Tiezhu said that he was a chef and volunteered to take a cook to cook for adults. ”

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised in his heart.

It's great that he got married and had a chef come to his home for free. Li Zhen didn't feel surprised, but Li Xiaotong stood up and asked again: "Xiao Ye, are you sure that the person outside is Liu Tiezhu?" ”

Ye Cheng nodded affirmatively and said, "It's Liu Tiezhu, there will be no mistake." ”

Li Xiaotong waved his hand and said, "Quick, please come in immediately." ”

Ye Chengxin turned around and left, and Li Zhen asked, "Sister, is there anything strange about Liu Tiezhu?" ”

Li Xiaotong said: "You kid is lonely and unheard, and even Liu Tiezhu doesn't know about it. Liu Tiezhu's grandfather and father were both court chefs, and the imperial chefs in the palace were skilled. Liu Tiezhu has been inherited from his grandfather and father since he was a child, and he has become a well-known chef. Many people encounter red and white happy events to find Liu Tiezhu, but it may not be possible. My original plan was to find Liu Tiezhu, but I didn't expect him to come by himself. With Liu Tiezhu to help you cook, you will definitely get a full house. ”

Li Zhen suddenly realized that Liu Tiezhu was a kitchen god.

Not long after, Ye Chengxin walked in with a fat man of about thirty. This fat man is Liu Tiezhu. According to Li Zhen's visual measurements, Liu Tiezhu is about 1.75 meters, but he has a round waist and broad shoulders, and his weight is definitely more than 200 catties. When Liu Tiezhu saw Li Zhen, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Liu Tiezhu, a grass man, has seen an adult." ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Master Liu doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat!" ”

Liu Tiezhu sat down in the hall, still a little apprehensive, but there was a faint excitement in his eyes.

The Admiral in front of him is really approachable.

An ordinary 'Master Liu', but it made Liu Tiezhu drink honey in his heart.

Li Xiaotong smiled lightly and said, "Brother Liu, the day my brother gets married, it will definitely not be solved by dozens of tables, there may be hundreds of tables, or even more, can Brother Liu and the people below be busy?" ”

Liu Tiezhu's fat big hand patted his chest, and said proudly: "Miss Li, don't worry, in addition to me, there are ten other chefs, all of whom are the most famous in Guangzhou." Our eleven chefs, plus their respective apprentices, disciples, etc., can make even a three-day flowing water feast. Guangzhou has produced such a good official as Master Li, and we are all proud. When Lord Li gets married, we will definitely do it properly for the adults. ”

After hearing this, Li Zhen was grateful, knowing that this was a flood that made him famous far and wide.

Li Zhen sighed again about the simplicity of the people, he only did very simple things, but what he got far exceeded what he paid. Li Zhen and Liu Tiezhu chatted about some family matters, and agreed to start preparing for the marriage banquet on September 23, and then sent Liu Tiezhu away.

As soon as Liu Tiezhu left, three more businessmen came.

Of the three, one sells vegetables, one sells meat, and one sells grain. The purpose of the three of them is the same as Liu Tiezhu, they all provide Li Zhen with food, vegetables, and meat free of charge, and ensure the food supply of Li Zhen's relatives. Li Zhen must have more than a few hundred tables on the day he considered getting married, and even made a flowing banquet, so he said that he would give the three of them the capital, so as not to lose money. After all, Liu Tiezhu relies on his own skills and does not need to consume money. The three businessmen in front of him are different, they need countless money to fill it, and it is definitely a loss-making business.

As soon as Li Zhen said it, he was immediately unanimously opposed by the three.

In the end, Li Zhen had to agree.

After sending off the three of them, Li Zhen returned to the hall and said with emotion: "Sister, the chef and grain, vegetables and meat are all there, there should be nothing left, thank you so much to these folks." ”

As soon as Li Zhen's words fell, Ye Cheng reported that the tailor who made the groom's clothes came, and a special team to welcome relatives also came. Li Zhen was even more emotional after hearing this, he didn't expect these people to think about it so carefully.

He just needs to wait for September 25 to welcome his relatives.

Li Zhen sent the visitors away with kind words, and it was only in the evening that the Admiral's Mansion was completely quiet. Li Xiaotong sat aside, with a faint smile on his face, and said softly: "If my father and mother could see you marrying such a beautiful wife, how happy they would be, but it's a pity that they didn't see you and went." ”

Waiting for Li Zhen to speak, Li Xiaotong said again: "Judging from the current situation, the people of Guangzhou City are preparing for your marriage. Even if it is a running water banquet, I am afraid that it will not work for three days and three nights. Besides, the area around the Admiral's Palace is limited, and it can't accommodate so many people, what do you think? ”

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The people have a heart, I definitely can't refuse." We do this, and the Admiral's Mansion holds a banquet and invites people of status and status, which is the main banquet. At the same time, a banquet was set up in the north of the city, the west of the city, the east of the city, and the south of the city to invite the people, what did my sister think? ”

Li Xiaotong's eyes lit up and said: "This is a good idea, it not only satisfies the people's desire to celebrate their younger brother, but also allows people with status and status to participate in doing so, and leave this matter to me to deal with." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xiaotong got up and left to prepare for the next banquet.

ps: The second update, the wedding march! It's a bit of an exaggeration, haha!
