Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Now that the list of attendees was finalized, Su Lianxue instructed Steward Ding, "Steward Ding, quickly arrange for these invitations to be delivered to each household. This banquet is of utmost importance; make sure that every invitation is delivered accurately to the rightful recipient."

Steward Ding accepted the order and left. Soon after, he and his servants began to busy themselves. Those who received the invitations were overjoyed upon learning that they came from Su Lianxue's household. After all, receiving one meant they were recognized by the General.

Aunt Qiu and Wang Wan'er also received invitations. Wang Wan'er stared at the invitation, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

The first thing Wang Jingnian did upon returning was to ask the steward if he had received Miss Su's invitation. After receiving an affirmative answer, he felt relieved, as this indicated whether she was someone the general cared about.

Meanwhile, Su Lianxue's residence was bustling with activity. Servants were busy preparing everything needed for the banquet. Some were setting up the venue, some were preparing food, and some were tidying up decorations. Everyone was doing their job and extremely busy.

Because of her previous injury, Su Lianxue's body had not fully recovered, so everyone required her to sit and absolutely forbade her to stand up and move around.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei huddled together and whispered, "This banquet is so important, we can't afford to make any mistakes. No matter how busy we are, one of us must stay by Miss's side to receive her orders." After reaching an agreement, they began to divide the work.

At this moment, Su Lianxue overheard their conversation and said with a smile, "You two are busy with your own things. You've never hosted a banquet like this before, so you really need to listen to Zhang Mama's experience and learn from her. I have General Zhou with me, so nothing will happen."

As soon as Su Lianxue finished speaking, Zhou Qi, who had been standing silently to the side, nodded slightly when he heard Miss Su mention him.

Zhou Qi is still not quite used to the life of serving others. In the past, she was always charging into battle on the battlefield, but now she has to do these meticulous things in this mansion, which inevitably makes her feel a little awkward.

To be honest, Miss Su is a really nice person. She takes great care of her and never gives her orders or instructions.

Zhou Qi was filled with mixed emotions. She rarely spoke, preferring to remain silent. However, Miss Su would often take the initiative to talk to her, sharing interesting things or asking for her opinion.

Miss Su would always save a portion of the good food for her, never forgetting her. At every meal, Miss Su would invite her to sit with her. Miss Su would always say gently, "You are a general, not a guard, so you don't need to call me 'Miss.' We should address each other as sisters."

However, Zhou Qi still wasn't used to this way of interacting and insisted on calling her "Miss." Su Lianxue could only accept it helplessly, thinking to herself that she would slowly change things, and one day, Zhou Qi would truly treat her as a sister.

......

In fact, when it comes to food, Mofang City is relatively simple and rustic. Compared to the bustling capital, it's worlds apart, utterly insignificant. The climate here is extremely cold, and therefore, most people's diets still consist mainly of meat, which helps them stay warm.

Su Lianxue looked at Chu Mohan and asked softly, "General, what do you think about setting up a big bonfire in that spacious area of ​​the mansion and then placing roasted mutton on it?"

As she finished speaking, the image involuntarily appeared in Su Lianxue's mind. She unconsciously extended her slender finger and gently tapped her chin. Then, she began to imagine the fragrant roasting meat over the campfire, sizzling and dripping with oil, the lamb gradually turning golden and crispy under the flames. A slight smile played on her lips, as if she could already smell the enticing aroma emanating from the roasting meat.

Seeing her greedy look, Chu Mohan affectionately tapped her nose and said, "Whatever makes you happy. There aren't many complicated rules here, you can decide for yourself."

Su Lianxue then added, "Then let's bring out your wine, General, so everyone can have a taste, shall we?"

Chu Mohan laughed heartily, "Drink as much as you like, there's plenty to go around." Su Lianxue imagined the scene and couldn't help but say, "Then I'll have some too."

Chu Mohan shook his head slightly and said, "Hmm, it's okay, but the liquor here is too strong. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Su Lianxue quickly replied in a coquettish tone, "I'm sure I can do it!" Then she smiled and said, "I think we should add some more games. That would make the atmosphere even better and everyone would feel more at ease. But we'll have to ask you, General, to help us think of some games. What do the girls here usually play?"

Chu Mohan replied, "I don't know anything about girls' things. You can ask Steward Ding or Granny Zhang."

In fact, Su Lianxue had been staying in this place for quite some time. Apart from the less-than-ideal climate, she truly loved the local customs and people.

The people here are simple and pure, their lives are filled with a lively atmosphere, and they are kind-hearted. Unlike those people in the capital, who appear calm and collected on the surface, but secretly keep comparing their family background, knowledge, and other things, they are extremely hypocritical.

Su Lianxue pondered for a moment and said, "Then I can ask Sister Zhou; she should know." Hearing this, Chu Mohan asked in confusion, "Sister Zhou? Is she someone you just met?"

Su Lianxue said in surprise, "Sister Zhou is General Zhou? General, you really are something. How can someone as capable as her just be a bodyguard? I really want to be friends with her, but Sister Zhou insists on calling me Miss, and I can't help it."

Chu Mohan wasn't really used to Su Lianxue calling him "Sister Zhou." He was used to being in the military camp and had always treated Zhou Qi like a man, but he could only reply, "Then you should ask your Sister Zhou." Even Chu Mohan himself felt uncomfortable with the words "Sister Zhou," as the title didn't quite match Zhou Qi's usual image.

Hearing the conversation inside, Zhou Qi, who was outside, instantly felt embarrassed. To be honest, she wasn't used to Miss Su calling her "Sister Zhou."

Not only Zhou Qi herself, but also those who had worked with her felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, since this was how the young lady addressed him, everyone could only remain silent and choose to keep quiet.
