The dishes in the General's Mansion are naturally excellent. In order to clean up Nie Changjue, the butler specially asked someone to prepare dozens more dishes than usual.At this time, there was a huge table, and the maids filed in and brought all kinds of dishes.

Everyone sat down around the table, and for a moment six women surrounded Nie Changjue, but Nie Changjue pointed out a seat beside him to Chu Guo.Chu Guo didn't want to sit like this at first, but his hands were too strong, so he forced himself to sit down.

The others saw his impatient look, and were a little surprised for a moment.

There was a large table of people, and the feast was supposed to be lively and lively, talking about family life and what he had seen and heard along the way, but because Nie Changjue didn't talk much on weekdays, the table was extraordinarily quiet.It was time to be hungry, and everyone began to eat in silence.

There were 38 dishes on the table, and the main dish in the middle was Nie Changjue's favorite roast beef. He roasted half a fat beef in a long gold-plated stove, and the color was golden, buttery, tender and delicious.Surrounding the roast beef was another twelve vegetarian dishes, all of which were available for the season, and none of them were bad in color, aroma, or taste.There were twenty more meat dishes on the outermost plate. The plates were not big, and each dish had its own characteristics. According to Nie Changjue, the overall taste was on the spicy side, but it happened that Chu Guo was not too spicy.Most of the women don't like spicy food, and because they love their skin, they put four more light tonic soups among the meat dishes.

Nie Changjue and Chu Guo had a very good meal. Except for the heroic woman in light yellow clothes who also liked spicy food, the other wives and concubines of Nie Changjue ate simple vegetables and drank light tonic. Soup.

During the period, Nie Changjue would pick up vegetables for Chu Guo from time to time, and they seemed to taste exactly like Chu Guo's. Even when his bowl was empty, he subconsciously wanted to pick it up. It's even like an enemy.

He only ate a quarter of the dishes, and the housekeeper knew exactly how much food the family had eaten, and when he saw that it was almost done, he signaled the maids to come and take down the dishes one by one, and they came out in a file like when they were served. After a while, the table is completely clean.A few maidservants dressed a little differently from the maids came over again and put a cup of tea in front of each of them respectfully.

On the contrary, Chu Guo still vaguely felt that he was not full. He glanced at Nie Changjue who seemed to be full, and then secretly looked at himself and his size, thinking that if he ate more than him, wouldn't it be too much? It's outrageous... He pursed his lips, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, only to feel the slightly sweet fragrance slipping down his throat, making him feel much refreshed.He lowered his head and drank a few more sips.

Chu Guo didn't know that Nie Changjue wasn't full either, but he never ate too much at home.Xu felt that it was boring, and there were too many things to do on weekdays, so he kept a few snacks in his study all the year round.

It was tea time after dinner, Nie Changjue seemed to be in a good mood today, his wives and concubines could tell, even if he didn't want to admit it - it was probably because of Chu Guo.

Concubine Xing spoke, her voice was as gentle and stable as her temperament, and she had the courage of a regular wife: "I don't know, general, what should I call this young master?"

The question was about Chu Guo's name, but it was to Nie Changjue.

Before Nie Changjue could answer, Chu Guo said calmly, "Chu Guo."

Nie Changjue saw that he didn't want to get entangled with his wives and concubines, so he glanced at Concubine Xing and prepared to take him out of here.

"Such a handsome young master, how did you meet the general?" The woman in purple asked seemingly casually, but her tone of voice was afraid that others would not know that she had bad intentions.

"I..." Nie Changjue squeezed his hand suddenly, and Chu Guo paused.

"Chu Guo and I met on the way to visit the mountains and rivers, and we shared similar interests, so I brought them back."

It was rare for Nie Changjue to say a word to them, and while they were in a daze, Nie Changjue took his hand and left the main hall, apparently going directly to the bedroom.

Once he left, the wives and concubines were not very interested.

The elegant woman in blue glanced at the woman in purple, with a trace of imperceptible pity in her eyes.

Mrs. Xing confessed to the purple-clothed woman, "Let's talk a little less in the future" and went back to the room with the support of several personal maids.

The remaining two concubines in pink and one in light yellow were still sitting on their seats.The woman in the goose-yellow shirt seemed to think that today's tea was not bad, so she raised her hand and drank it all before going back to her room.The two women in pink are considered to have a good relationship among all the concubines. After all, women are most taboo to collide with clothes of the same color. For example, the six wives and concubines usually wear their own colors and do not often change with each other.Perhaps it was because there was a little girl under the age of sixteen among them. Not only did the two of them often walk together, they even ate and lived together sometimes.

At this moment, they held hands and went to their own yard without seeing any maids.
