After Xiao Qi walked around with the loot, he felt a little sore in his arm and put the dustpan on the ground.

Feng Yulang, the little son of the Feng family, stepped forward and asked, "Master, are you tired?" Do you want me to hold it for you? ”

"No, no, I didn't promise to be your master." Xiao Qi didn't understand in his heart, how could a helpful young man like Feng Xiaogongzi be the son of the great villain Feng Wanbao?

The little son of the Feng family: "Don't worry, master, I will definitely behave well and impress the master with my actions." ”

Hua Xi'er leaned over and whispered a few words to Xiao Qi.

Then Hua Xi'er pulled Xiao Qi to the stage and announced loudly to everyone, "This Liu Deputy Catcher - known as the Seven Women, the Seven Women decided to donate all the more than 20,000 taels to the victims, please applaud the Seven Women." ”

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Hua Xi'er clapped vigorously with both hands: "Seven Women——"

There was a voice that was louder than Hua Xi'er, "Seven Women-Seven Women-" The loudest voice was Feng Wanbao's youngest son, Feng Yulang.

Mu Zhifu's eyes were fixed on the dustpan in front of Xiao Qi, now that he had money for disaster relief, the big stone in his heart had finally fallen.

Mu Zhifu took his wife's hand and was warm: "Madam has worked hard, this banquet is very successful." ”

Madame Mu glanced at him with disgust, "The banquet hasn't started yet." ”

"In short, Madame has worked hard this time, and what Madame did for me, I will remember it."

Mrs. Mu looked at Hua Xi'er on the stage suspiciously: "Master, don't you think that this girl standing next to the Seven Heroines is very familiar." ”

The voice was very noisy, and Governor Mu didn't hear what his wife said, he walked towards the high platform with steps, ready to say a few words of thanks to the Seven Heroines who donated the most money on behalf of the victims.

Master Wang, who was following behind the prefect, was also very happy, and raised his arms and shouted the Seven Heroines with everyone.

In order to raise money, Master Wang can't eat or sleep well these days, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and with the silver money donated by the Seven Women, he can finally complete the task assigned to him by the prefect.

Today, Niu's and several cooks from Mingyue Restaurant are helping in the house, they are in charge of dim sum production, and they are almost busy.

Chef Wang, who was familiar with Niu's, grabbed Niu's arm, "Chrysanthemum, the garden is lively today, I just heard Xiao Yahuan say that there is a little girl who has won more than 20,000 taels of silver by throwing a pot." ”

Niu felt that the world of rich people was so far away from her, more than 20,000 taels of silver, enough for her family to spend for several lifetimes, an astronomical amount that she never dreamed of.

When he arrived at the pond, Niu heard many people chanting the three words Seven Women, and Niu felt that these three words sounded very familiar.

She looked at the high platform and saw Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er standing there, and then she remembered that the name Seven Heroines was once used by the people to call their own Xiao Qi.

Niu ran towards the high platform, and on the way, one accidentally stepped on the corner of his skirt and fell to the ground with a thud.

Feng Xiaogongzi saw that a woman fell in front of him, and hurriedly went over to help.

Niu grabbed Feng Xiaogongzi's sleeve with one hand, pointed to Xiao Qi on the stage with the other and asked, "Did that girl donate more than 20,000 taels of silver?" ”

Feng Xiaogongzi and Yourong, "That's right, it was donated by my master Seven Women." ”

Niu's was so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out, it was more than 20,000 taels of silver, enough for several lifetimes in the family, Xiao Qi actually waved his sleeves and donated it all, what a loser.

Feng Xiaogongzi was very enthusiastic, called the two mothers-in-law next to him over, and ordered: "This lady has vomited blood and looks ill, you can help her to rest for a while, and by the way, ask a doctor for her to see." ”

The two mothers-in-law helped Niu to the periphery.

"Why is your face so red?" Po Zijia said as she reached for Niu's forehead with her hand.

Po Ziyi glanced at Niu Shi carefully a few times, and then said, "I look like I have rubbed too much rouge like this." ”

That's right, Niu did apply a lot of rouge in the morning, and she hadn't been in the big place for a long time, and she hadn't learned how to put on makeup.

Niu was very happy to be able to go to the prefect's house to do things, so he got up early in the morning and put on the latest clothes, and wiped some rouge on his face.

Po Zijia's eyes were attached to Niu's face, and she sighed twice, "It's painted like a monkey's ass, it's definitely not from our house, where are you from?" ”

Niu's reply was weak, "I am the cook in Mingyue Restaurant, and I came to Mufu to help temporarily today." ”

Po Ziyi is a clever person, and after listening to Niu's words, she hurriedly ran to Mama Chen, who was beside Mrs. Mu, to report, "A cook who was invited to help in the house vomited blood. ”

Before Mama Chen could answer, Mrs. Mu opened her mouth first, "It's really unlucky, hurry up and give her some silver and send her home." ”

Po Zi Yi answered the call and ran away with her little feet.

Mrs. Mu looked at Mama Chen and asked, "Mama, are you ready for the banquet?" ”

"Madame, rest assured, it's ready."

Mrs. Mu looked at the Mu prefect who was talking on the high platform, "When the master finishes speaking, let's take the guests to the banquet." ”

Mama Chen bowed: "No-"

……

The banquet was divided into men and women, and it was placed in the west courtyard where the poetry meeting was held, and the male and female guests were separated by screens.

On the luxurious main table of the men's seat sat Zhu Shizi, Mu Zhifu and a number of officials, and Feng Wanbao, who had no official status, was also sitting at the main table.

Xiao Qihua Xi'er and Zhang Asan and Li Asi all stood behind Zhu Shizi, Zhu Shizi turned to Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er and said, "You two should also go to the banquet." ”

The prefect of Mu beckoned to the wood butler, and when the wood butler approached, he said: "Take the Seven Heroines and this girl to the female guest's side, remember to sit in the guest of honor, and be treated as a guest." ”

The woodsteward bowed: "No-"

The woodhousekeeper called a face-bearing mother-in-law, explained like this, and asked the mother-in-law to take Xiaoqi and the two to the women's table.

There is also a table of guest of honor on the women's seat.

Xiao Qi remembered that he had a lot of food, so he didn't go to the guest of honor table with his mother-in-law, and directly pulled Hua Xi'er to sit down at an empty table in the corner.

Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er ate very comfortably, and quickly swept away the dishes on the table.

Looking at the bare plates, Xiao Qi was a little unsatisfied, "There are a lot of styles of dishes, but there is only such a small bite of food on each plate, and it is really not enjoyable to eat." ”

Hua Xi'er looked at the direction of the main table, the dishes on the table didn't seem to have moved much, the prefect's wife sat in the middle with a proud face, and the other officials and relatives were careful to give her a smile.

"Xiao Qi, you sitting at the main table will definitely scare all the ladies."

Xiao Qi stuck out his tongue, "Aunt Xi, I haven't eaten yet." ”

Hua Xi'er smiled, "The food here tastes good, I'm almost full." ”

Xiao Qi thought for a while and said, "My mother also came to the house to help today, I don't know if she has eaten now, whether she is hungry." ”

"Don't worry, I've never heard of a cook being hungry." ”
