Chapter 554 Hongmen Banquet
"Ma'am, it's the general." Zuo Qing, who was riding the horse, said.
Dong Yue lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw a man speeding up from a distance. At this moment, the scenery behind him was rice fields, and he was even more charming at this moment.
Liu Sanqiang came to the front and got into the carriage, Dong Yue reacted.
The man asked, "Are you here to pick me up?"
Dong Yue came back to her senses, "I came to see the fields."
Liu Sanqiang was slightly disappointed, and continued to ask, "Did you see the right one?"
"I plan to buy the fields near the village. If the villagers want to contract, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."
The man also had this idea. At this time, he didn't say clearly, "Well, that's fine."
"What did you say when you saw the village head and the patriarch?"
"Said something about ethnology and fields."
Dong Yue is relieved that the man is doing business, the two of them talked all the way, when they were about to reach the mansion, Dong Yue suddenly grabbed the man's sleeve, "Tell me, did the third prince meet Ru'er in the palace?"
Liu Sanqiang saw that the woman was nervous, so he thought what was the matter, and patted the back of the woman's hand as a comfort, "The emperor knows about this, a third prince, what are you worried about?"
Dong Yue's expression relaxed, how could she have forgotten this matter, and thought of the third prince's biological mother, "Where is Li Guifei?"
"fine."
Dong Yue looked at the man, he had already thought about it, and seemed to have done something else.
asked, "What did you do?"
Liu Sanqiang wanted to tell the woman that when he came back last night, he had a private chat with the third prince. He had already made arrangements when he knew that the third prince was traveling with him. Their word gets out.
"Nothing to do, just make it difficult for some people to send messages." He has already begun to deploy substitutions.
He doesn't need to do it directly for the substitution. With the help of some people, some news will be passed on, and some people will be more anxious at that time.
Wait until the exchanged person becomes different.
"This is too tiring." Dong Yue disagreed with this method, thinking that the man is the third prince, and she can do whatever she wants, but there are some things that cannot be sloppy.
Seeing that the man looked confident again, Dong Yue didn't say much.
"I'm not tired. I don't plan to take over the affairs of Linshui County for the time being. I have some time to reorganize."
Dong Yue understands what the man means. Many people should know their purpose of coming to Shui County, and they have made some arrangements. Head-to-head confrontation may not be a good thing. After settling in for a while, it will be more convenient for them to get familiar with this place.
Thinking about it, he asked again, "Where's Zhang Ci?"
Liu Sanqiang pouted, "Did something happen last night?"
"What happened to him?" Dong Yue asked anxiously.
Liu Sanqiang is not happy anymore, how can he bear his woman caring about other men so much.
Dong Yue began to urge again, "You are talking, what's wrong with him?"
"What else can I do, I'm hurt!" Liu Sanqiang's heart was bubbling with sourness, and he couldn't bear to see the woman too anxious, so he said this in a depressed manner.
Dong Yue thought for a while, and told the man, "You have to pay attention."
"It's none of my business?"
"You forgot what the two of you are here for. If someone has done something to Zhang Ci, it will be your turn next." Dong Yue was too slow to respond to the man and was not happy.
Liu Sanqiang's mood instantly improved.
It turned out that I wasn't worried about Zhang Ci.
Because of this knowledge, Liu Sanqiang expressed his plan generously, "I saw that Zhang Ci was injured, so I don't think we should be too anxious about doing things. It will be a long time in the future. Let's play first and then talk. When we have had enough fun, some people will relax. When we are vigilant, we will do it again."
"You, old fox!"
I was worried when I went out, but when I came back, my whole state was different.
After getting off the carriage, the two were about to go far away, Xie Laogen came to find him, Liu Sanqiang went to the study, Dong Yue turned and went into the kitchen.
Mother Chen and the others were busy, and when they saw Dong Yue coming, they saluted respectfully.
Dong Yue didn't care much about this, and said to Chen Ma, "Chen Ma, there are too many people in the mansion right now, and you can't handle it by yourself. In a few days, hire another woman."
When Mama Chen heard this, she opened her mouth to say something, but seeing so many people present, she didn't say anything.
Dong Yue saw that it was getting late, so she started cooking.
For a while, the whole kitchen was busy, and no one had time to talk.
This is what Liu Ru saw when he arrived.
She didn't speak, and went directly to the stove. The servant girl saw it and got up to get out of the way.
Dong Yue was busy cooking, so her daughter could clearly see her actions.
After the meal was finished, when Dong Yue and Liu Ru walked towards the main hall with the meal, they said, "Ru'er, you are one year older during Chinese New Year, when will you start learning to cook?"
"Just eat the dishes my mother cooks."
Dong Yue chuckled, that's how the child cheers.
Everyone likes to be appreciated by others when cooking, and I am no exception. I preach again, "Mother wants to try your cooking, can't I?" I want to tell my daughter that when I am not around, she hopes that her daughter will not be hungry.
Thinking of her daughter's future status, she may be very tall, and she doesn't need to cook by herself. The mother still hopes that her daughter has a skill.
With many skills and not overwhelming, it can also divert a woman's attention very well. If her life after marriage is not satisfactory, she will not be mad at herself.
"Okay, cook for mother tomorrow."
Dong Yue was surprised, "Can you still cook?"
"Not too tasty, not too bad."
Dong Yue was amused by these words.
The two walked into the main hall talking and laughing, and when they saw what Liu Sanqiang and the third prince were saying sitting in the main hall, they both stopped when they saw them coming in.
Dong Yue took a look at Liu Sanqiang sitting in the main seat, and the third prince was in the VIP seat, and felt that the seat was a bit inappropriate, so she didn't say much.
After sitting down, she glanced at the court lady and **** standing behind the third prince. She was a little displeased with the court lady named Qiao Hui. Thinking of Liu Sanqiang's words, wait for a while.
After eating, Liu Sanqiang and Liu Ru started to perform again, Dong Yue was used to it, Dong Yue no longer had the energy to take care of what the third prince was thinking.
After dinner, Dong Yuezheng didn't know how to leave, but Butler Li came with an invitation.
"General, madam, an invitation from someone who knows the prefecture."
Dong Yue and Liu Sanqiang looked at each other, and the housekeeper sent the invitation to Dong Yue.
It stands to reason that this is the general's business, this family is in charge of Dong Yue, and these matters will be handed over to Dong Yue.
Dong Yue read the invitation and was sure it was sent by the magistrate, and handed it to Liu Sanqiang.
The meaning of the post is very obvious, let them go to Zhizhou Prefecture for dinner.
This meal should be a Hongmen Banquet.
What Dong Yue is not happy about is that this kind of thing cannot be refused.
She thought for a while, "The invitation said tomorrow." She was anxious enough to deal with Zhang Ci who had no martial arts first, and now to throw a grand feast for Liu Sanqiang, some people should know that they are afraid.
Liu Sanqiang put down the post and looked at the woman, "Shall we go together tomorrow?"
"Ok."
The two simply decided on a Hongmen banquet, as if they didn't know the dangers that would follow, and it seemed that they just wanted to see how deep the water in Linshui County was.
They didn't forget that the third prince was behind this matter, and the head of Linshui County was the prefect of the third prince's father-in-law.
It is very difficult to exploit one thing after another!
Knowing the danger, they still took the risk to go together.
