On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, on such a special day, Su Shen and Meng Zhen were actually entertaining guests in Zhangluo, which made the rest of the family feel that something was not right.

In fact, what they didn't know was that Su Shen and Meng Zhen also felt that something was not quite right.

But the problem is that their guests don't pick the day, and they don't dare to offend such two distinguished guests.

Helplessly, they can only cheer up and treat the guests seriously.

Considering that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Meng Zhen asked the kitchen to make a few seasonal dishes, snacks, and staple foods for the season.

After comprehensively considering the combination of meat and vegetables and the balance of taste, Meng Zhen finally settled on eight meat dishes and six vegetarian dishes.

The vegetarian dishes are baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk, cucumber, stir-fried amaranth, fish-flavored eggplant, fried vegetarian meatballs, and pine nut tofu.

The meat dishes are braised prawns, steamed yellow croaker, braised eel, sweet and sour tenderloin, boiled pork slices, garlic pork ribs, fried lamb with green onions, and diced spicy chicken.

In addition, Meng Zhen also asked people to prepare crucian carp tofu soup, scallion oil mille-feuille cakes, as well as realgar wine, candied date dumplings, bean paste dumplings, purple glutinous chestnut paste dumplings, egg yolk fresh meat dumplings, beaten cakes, hemp balls, mugwort buns, tea eggs and other Dragon Boat Festival special snacks.

Everyone was busy from breakfast until noon, and these delicacies were finally served in order.

At this time, Su Shen asked people to pass the news, so Meng Hao arranged for Sister-in-law Guo and others to deliver food to the main house that entered the courtyard.

The dishes are very home-cooked and ordinary, but the taste is very appetizing.

Shen Chaoyang and Li Jianhui were not polite to Su Shen, and the three of them raised their chopsticks almost at the same time.

Su Shen had just said a few polite words, and the two of them had already stretched out their chopsticks with Su Shen to the plate of boiled pork slices closest to them.

Hearing the little ear report that "the guests are grabbing vegetables with the young master to eat", Meng Hao couldn't help touching the little girl's hair and chuckling.

Because this girl is a daughter, she is not treated by her grandmother and father when she is a child.

On weekdays, she doesn't have enough food or warm clothes, and her grandmother will habitually beat her out of anger every now and then.

Pity her little one, but she learned to look at people's faces with trembling early on.

When she just followed Sister-in-law Li to the Meng family, this girl didn't dare to leave her mother's side for half a step.

Later, I found out that everyone, including Meng Zhen, Meng Qi, Su Shen, Yan Zhenwu, and Hao Mengyun, was full of kindness to her, not only never beat her, but also spoke softly every time she talked to her, very gentle, and this girl gradually settled down.

The little girl eats well, dresses well, and usually everyone always favors her because she is young, either patiently coaxing her to play, or opening some small stoves for her, after a long time, this girl finally has the innocence and liveliness that a normal child should have.

"All right, let's all eat. Sister-in-law Deng guarded the kitchen first, and Sister-in-law Guo went to change shifts with Sister-in-law Deng after eating. ”

Meng Hao waved her hand at everyone as she spoke, and everyone responded "yes" in unison, and then took their own dishes and chopsticks to eat.

Mu Hibiscus and the others didn't have to stay by Meng Hao's side to serve - Meng Hao was used to being self-reliant, even if she was raising her subordinates at home now, Meng Hao still wouldn't let people stand by and serve when she usually ate or something.

As for Hao Mengyun, she is now the key protection object of the family, long before the banquet in the front yard, Meng Zhen had already asked people to send her the meal with Yan Zhenwu and Xiao Steamed Bun.

At this time, Hao Mengyun has already eaten half of her lunch, compared with Meng Zhen, the housewife, Hao Mengyun's life is much more leisurely and happier.

***

In the front yard, Su Shen, Shen Chaoyang, and Li Jianhui's small banquet ended quickly, and before Meng Zhen put down his rice bowl, Su Shen had already returned to the backyard with a long letter that had been opened by him.

"Take a look at this." He handed the envelope to Meng Hao, and he sat down beside Meng Hao, grinding ink as he began to weigh his words and prepare to write a letter.

Meng Hao knew that this letter should be the reason why Shen Chaoyang and Li Jianhui made a sudden visit at this time during the Dragon Boat Festival, so she took out the thick pile of letter paper in the envelope and silently read this extra-long letter written by someone else.

"General Shen?!"

As soon as his gaze swept over the first line of text on the first piece of paper, Meng Hao exclaimed uncontrollably.

She pinched the letter and looked at Su Shen, "Is that General Shen I know?" ”

Su Shen bowed slightly at her, "It's the General Shen you know." ”

The two of them have a dumb riddle-like conversation, if there is someone else, then this "other" will definitely not understand.

But Su Shen knew that the only General Shen that Meng Hao had heard of happened to be the commander of their Liaodong Metropolitan Division.

This Shen commander is said to be one of the most trusted generals of His Majesty, the founding emperor of their Great Zhou.

He not only managed the 100,000 troops responsible for guarding Liaodong under his hands, but also grasped military and political affairs, and directly obeyed the emperor's orders to govern all civilian officials in Liaodong as governors.

In short, this Shen Commander is a super powerful minister who does not have the title of a vassal king, but holds more authority than the vassal king.

Such a person is famous in the territory of Liaodong.

Compared with him, other generals surnamed Shen, where are they still worthy of being called "General Shen".

Such a big guy suddenly wrote a long letter to her family Ashen......

Meng Hao didn't know what it was like in her heart, but she subconsciously focused her attention on the letter in her hand.

"So, Daddy saved the prince in the first place?" After reading the letter, Meng Hao's voice was a little fluttering, and she looked at her husband sitting beside her stupidly with a dull expression as if she was in a dream.

Su Shen reached out and shook Meng Hao's hand, "Hmm." That's what General Shen said. ”

"Then you ......"

"Of course, I'm going to continue to live my life." Su Shen took Meng Hao into his arms and gently patted Meng Hao's back one by one.

Meng Hao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Su Shen would follow Shen Chaoyang and Li Jianhui to the capital Guozijian as General Shen said.

It's not that she doesn't want Su Shen to have better opportunities to study, she's just worried that the sudden change in the environment will make Su Shen lose his heart.

She didn't want Su Shen to immediately go to the Su family to take revenge on those who killed his mother after she found out that she had a big backer.

I don't want Su Shen to leave a negative impression in the heart of the future Son of Heaven because of revenge.

I don't want Su Shen to take the so-called broad road paved with the blood of his father and mother.

She hopes that Su Shen can continue to grow up in a down-to-earth manner, that he can use his wisdom and ability to avenge his mother, and that he can lay a solid foundation with her, so that their small family is not afraid of any wind and rain.
