The group’s favorite Xiao Long Bao: seven brothers and uncles love it to the extreme

With Ma Daoye's words in front of him, Bingzi would naturally not tell the truth.

Seeing this, Xue Zhen knew he couldn't ask.

He hugged Long Bao'er and laughed again, "Long Bao'er has been hungry for a long time, right? It's all the fault of Third Brother. Whatever Long Bao'er wants to eat, Third Brother will pick up some food for you later!"

The banquet had been prepared long ago. There were dishes cooked by the Futai Yamen's own chef, and some were ordered from restaurants outside.

There are both meat and vegetables, including chicken, duck and fish, which is extremely rich.

But when Chang Maoming, who was originally smiling, saw the dishes on the table, his eyes darkened for a moment, then returned to normal, and his smile became a little thicker.

He asked Xue Zhen to bring Long Baoer over for dinner.

During the meal, several people fought over who should sit next to Long Baoer. Because the Chen family did not have a special chair for children to sit on, in the end it was the brother Xue Zhen who held her.

Mr. Chen of Futai couldn't help but be curious when he saw that whether it was Chang Maoming, Xue Zhen or even the two Taoists, this little girl was the main one.

"Brother Chang, what is this?"

Chang Maoming smiled lightly and said, "This is the child of my sister-in-law's family, named Long Bao'er."

Chang Maoming and Chang Chun are close in age and have always had a very good relationship. Master Chen obviously knows this too.

But he only knew that the female general of the Chang family and General Xue had seven sons, known as the seven sons of the Xue family.

But I have never heard that they have a daughter.

After recalling it carefully, Mr. Chen suddenly realized, "Is it the child left by General Xue's sister who died young?"

General Xue's search for his only sister is nothing new. Over the years, many people have come to claim their relatives, but they have all been proven to be fake.

Even here had heard about the fact that General Xue brought someone out of Beijing and brought back a little girl, but they didn't know anything more.

"Although she is the sister left behind by my aunt, she is no different from my biological sister." Xue Zhen said.

Chang Maoming nodded in agreement when he heard this.

Master Chen looked at Long Baoer again.

The little girl is indeed quite cute, but I didn't expect that she would be so recognized by the Chang family and the Xue family's young master.

Mr. Chen smiled and asked someone to prepare dishes for the little girl. He also asked the kitchen to prepare some children's favorite desserts in case the little girl was hungry at night.

Just now, he didn't know that there were children among his companions, but now that he knew it, he couldn't neglect it.

"Brother Chang, you are the same. Although the road is not rugged, you still have to hurry. If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to take such a delicate little girl out and suffer."

Chang Maoming smiled and was about to speak when Ma Daoye next to him spoke first, "The main reason is that the little girl is naughty and insists on causing trouble."

Of course Ma Daoye was talking nonsense, but the person present, Mr. Chen, didn't know it and took it seriously.

At first, Ma Daoye was worried that the little girl would spill the beans after hearing his rebuttal. Unexpectedly, Long Baoer was sitting in Xue Zhen's arms, eating very seriously, as if he hadn't heard a word.

"Master Chen, please make a bowl of porridge." Ma Daoye said. "The little girl just shouted that she wanted to drink."

"How difficult is this?"

Mr. Chen immediately gave the order and asked what kind of porridge Long Baoer liked to drink, whether it was sweet or salty, thick or light, whether it contained meat or vegetables, and so on.

Long Baoer blinked.

She thought it was just a bowl of white porridge, but she didn't expect that there were so many types of porridge, and she lost her mind for a while.

After all, she hasn't drunk either.

It was Ma Daoye who made the decision and ordered a bowl of Japanese melon porridge.

"Yes, yes. We happen to have last year's old Japanese melons in the kitchen, they are so sweet." The cook listened at the door and responded quickly.

"Then do it quickly."

The food on the table is very good, delicious and made with fresh ingredients, especially the dishes cooked by the chef in Fuzhong. They are delicious.

Even Mr. Chang, who has seen the world, took a few more bites.

Master Chen smiled even brighter and greeted everyone.

Long Baoer was very hungry for a long time. He ate whatever the third brother gave him and he was not picky about food.

And these meals are indeed delicious and well-cooked. They are better than those eaten at Xue's house. I just ate a bowl of rice.

"Don't spoil the child." Mr. Chen exclaimed.

"It's okay, our kids can eat it."

Mr. Chen looked at Long Baoer, who was obviously still a little thin, and was puzzled. He ate so much and was still so thin?

He couldn't help but gain weight in the past few years, especially the fat on his belly. If it wasn't hidden by his official uniform, he might have been noticed by others.

After eating and drinking, it’s getting dark.

Master Chen wanted to arrange accommodation for them, but Chang Maoming waved his hand and said, "They all live with me, so you don't need to prepare anything else."

"That's fine too."

After a long day's journey, everyone washed up and rested separately. It was naturally inconvenient for this group of old men to have a little girl with them. Mr. Chen also thoughtfully sent two maids to take care of the little girl.

As for the bowl of porridge, it had been cooked long ago and sent to Long Baoer's room.

In another room.

Chang Maoming, Chang Erye, Ma Daoye, Yunchengzi Taoist masters, and Xue Zhen were sitting on four sides of the table, each looking a little bad.

Bingzi was not at the banquet just now, but someone specially prepared a meal, including a large bowl of meat and vegetables.

It's just that he clearly heard the noise over there just now. It was the guests and the host having fun, chatting and laughing. Why did everyone look so heavy at this time?

Moreover, there were obviously several secret guards under Mr. Chang here, but they did not eat with him at all, and the prefect's yamen actually seemed to have never known that these people existed.

Could it be that there is really something wrong with the prefect’s Yamen? Ma Daoye is really prescient.

Xue Zhen was worried about the other soldiers and wondered why Bingzi couldn't tell him face to face.

As for Ma Daoye and Yunchengzi, it was obviously for another reason.

"Second Master Chang, the prefect Chen and you..."

"To be honest with you two Taoists, Chen Xuanzhi and I have been friends for many years, and I have taken care of him a lot in the past. He comes from a poor family. On the day of the imperial examination, he was almost framed and could not enter the examination room."
