The copper hot pot is easy to prepare, wash it, put charcoal on it, and then serve it on the table and pour water.

Slices of meat are delivered to the table in a steady stream, and washed dishes and chopsticks are also served to the table.

As for the other side dishes, priority is given to the private rooms, and the few tables outside the private rooms can only be served as much as possible.

After all, although there are some surplus dishes at home, there is not enough to feed twenty or thirty people.

Qin Liu also had to arrange for Lou Lao to go to the street to make an urgent purchase, so as not to be unable to supply the dishes.

Ma Ang, as the groom's official, although his rank is low, he has to go into the private room to toast to Lord Jiang.

Master Jiang generously drank his toast and asked casually: "Baoguo Mansion, does it have anything to do with Brother Ma?" ”

Ma Ang was stunned: "What Baoguo Mansion?" ”

Master Jiang smiled faintly, raised his glass to drink, and changed the topic.

After Ma Ang retreated, Lord Zhang cautiously asked: "What Lord Jiang said is the Zhu family of the Baoguo Mansion who once supervised military affairs in the capital?" ”

Lord Jiang squinted his eyes and smiled: "Exactly, a few years ago, the Duke of Baoguo came to Xuanfu to serve as the chief military officer to lead the army against the enemy, and you should have also participated." ”

A trace of confusion flashed on Lord Zhang's face, and he said with some shame: "In the lower rank, I haven't even seen the face of Baoguo Gong and his old man." Why did Master Jiang suddenly mention him? Didn't he go back to the capital for several years? ”

Master Jiang patted Lord Zhang's shoulder disappreciatively, and didn't say anything more, just drank freely.

After a full meal, the sky was dark, and dusk was approaching.

Lord Zhang sent Master Jiang to the door of the Swallow Tower, and warmly kept him to rest in Shabaozi Town.

Jiang Bin burped and waved his hand: "You can't delay the opportunity to chase down the Tartars, there will be a period later!" ”

Master Zhang admired Jiang Bin's courageous attitude, and he stopped talking a little.

Jiang Bin looked up at the plaque of the Swallow Building, and said meaningfully: "Big families inevitably have some privacy, let's just treat it as if we don't know, but everyone is good!" ”

Master Zhang was even more foggy, watching Jiang Bin and the others leave in the dust.

Lord Zhang's official position is low, and Qianhu is a military attache of the fifth grade, but he still knows something about the famous Baoguo Mansion.

During the period of the first emperor Xiaozong, the Baoguo Mansion was the first real power. It should be said that from the time of the first emperor of the first emperor - Xianzong, the Baoguo Mansion was extremely prosperous.

Zhu Yong, the Marquis of Funing, who had great achievements in the war, was promoted to the Duke of Baoguo and the governor of the military affairs of the capital.

His brother-in-law, the British Duke Zhang Mao, is the head of the nobles, and the major event of the canonization of the crown prince is led by the British Duke and led by hundreds of civil and military officials to play a petition.

During the period of the first emperor, Zhu Hui, the successor of the Baoguo Gong, continued to lead the military affairs of the capital and was the first confidant general of the first emperor Xiaozong.

Master Zhang sneered and shook his head.

He has long given up on the idea of being promoted, just live his life well. The Baoguo Mansion can't be beaten by eight poles from him, and he still doesn't daydream about clinging to the powerful.

……

After the guests left, Qin Liu and the others were faced with a huge workload of cleaning and washing dishes and chopsticks.

Fortunately, the soldiers' wives and others who came to help played a big role, and after an hour of dark, the work was basically done. Although the cleanliness of the hall could not meet Qin Liu's requirements, it could barely be seen.

Qin Liu roughly wrapped the prepared meat, vegetables, and steamed buns in oiled paper, and asked the soldiers' daughters-in-law who helped to take one by one.

These daughters-in-law swept their eyes over the raw meat and steamed buns exposed in the oiled paper bags, their eyes were shining, and they warmly thanked and left.

These daughters-in-law talked as they walked on the road:

"Today's hard work and busyness have not been paid in vain, such a big piece of meat, I can make a delicious tooth sacrifice for the children when I go home!"

"Such a big white-flour steamed bun, my own family is reluctant to eat it even for the New Year, this little widow actually gave it away generously, it's really magnanimous!"

"I really hope that this Ma Zongqi will marry a few more wives, and we can follow suit!"

Daughters-in-law, you laughed and left, Qin Liu sent them to the door, only to beat his sore back, and planned to go back to his West House to lie down and rest.

This day really tired her enough!

Seeing that the door of the West House was tied from the outside, Qin Liu reacted - he actually locked the little mute in the house all the time!

Fortunately, the entrance to their cellar is located in the West House, and there is a separate bathroom, which can be solved by eating, drinking, and Lazar.

As soon as Qin Liu took the bolt of the West House door open, he saw that the door was slammed open, and the little mute came out coldly, bypassing the main house and walking towards the backyard.

Qin Liu struggled between going back to the house to lie down or to appease the little mute.

After thinking about it again, she still beat her waist and went to the backyard.

To her surprise, however, there was a man who was more eager than she was, and rushed out the small door in the backyard, listening to the footsteps, and it was the same cabin that lived there.

Qin Liu leaned under the south window of the hut and listened for a while.

In the room was Sister Ma Feng's excited voice: "Little mute, you are so amazing today!" I admire you so much! ”

The little mute didn't speak.

"Little mute, I used to think that my eldest brother was the most powerful. Now I know that he is also a wreck! A woman with such a bad reputation, he also married at home! Don't dare to say a word more! ”

"Little mute, why don't you speak? I know you can speak, I heard you talking to Sister-in-law Li! ”

"Little dumb, are you cold living here? Your quilt is quite thick and soft, it seems that Sister-in-law Li treats you well...... and made you new clothes......

"Little mute, why do you ignore me?"

Listening to Sister Ma Feng happily singing a one-man show in the room alone, Qin Liu still coughed a few times unkindly.

The little girl's love is just beginning, and no matter how dull she is, she can hear it.

Sister Ma Feng rubbed for a while, but still got out of the hut and walked into the backyard from the small door.

Qin Liu didn't move, beckoned Sister Ma Feng to get closer, lowered her voice and asked her, "Do you know who he is?" ”

Sister Ma Feng nodded stubbornly, raising her delicate chin: "So what's the matter?" There are many of us on the grassland, and we are doing well! ”

Qin Liu saw that this was the girl's yearning for love.

She cleared her throat and took a dose of fierce medicine: "I heard that a man with a Tartar became a wife at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and his wife is generally a few years older than himself. He looked seventeen or eighteen years old, maybe there were several children! ”

Sister Ma Feng stared at her big eyes and was stunned, her whole body stood stiff, and after a while, she swallowed her saliva and retorted: "You, you are talking nonsense!" ”

Qin Liu smiled slightly, and said lightly: "You fool...... This little mute is no less proficient in raising children than me, either there are many younger brothers and sisters in the family, or he has become a father early. ”

Sister Ma Feng wilted.

Qin Liu took her hand and whispered as she walked, "Let's go, go back and rest early!" Your brother has been promoted to an official, you are a lady of the official family, and you have a great future! ”
