Chapter 93 Birthday Banquet
In the afternoon, Zhao Jiahua came and brought a box of pastries.
"Why do we Chinese girls come to see me when we have time?" Zhao Wangshu asked jokingly.
"I can come and play with you anytime in the future." Zhao Jiahua said with a smile.
Zhao Wangshu was surprised, "The old lady changed her rules again?" Why didn't Zhao Yufang say anything in the morning?
“That’s all, just asking Cousin Qing and I to move back home.”
“Why?”
Zhao Jiahua shrugged , "I don't know."
"It's better to live at home than living under someone else's roof."
"That's right." Zhao Jiahua nodded with a smile.
Zhao Jiahua and Zhao Wangshu chatted for a while, then stood up to leave, "It's going to snow today, and the wind is biting."
"It's good to snow, the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. , you can also walk in the snow to look for plum blossoms." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
Although the north wind is howling, the snow has been brewing, and the weather has become increasingly cold, with water dripping into ice.
Two days later, on November 17, Yun Hao’s birthday, Zhao Wangshu went to Jinzun Tower with a gift, “Shopkeeper, what kind of birthday banquets are there?”
"Back to the girl, there are nine types of birthday banquets in the shop. The first type includes four cold plates, four small bowls, four large bowls, two cups of soup, and four plates of snacks. The cold plates include smoked fish, Changshengren, melon seeds and braised eggs; hot dishes include braised pork, braised fish fillets, shredded chicken wings and fried mutton with green onions. Soup."
"The second one is six cold dishes and six Hot dish."
After the shopkeeper gave a detailed introduction, he asked with a smile: "I wonder which one the girl wants?"
"I want the second kind." Zhao Wangshu likes six The beautiful implication of Liu Dashun is that although there are two people dining, the food is a bit too much.
“I wonder when, young lady, you want to have the feast?”
“It’s about noon.”
“Okay, little one, let’s go right away. Prepared for you." The shopkeeper had to step aside to make arrangements.
“Wait a minute, can I borrow your store’s kitchen to make a bowl of noodles?” Zhao Wangshu asked.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Of course."
Zhao Wangshu took out the prepared blouse and put it on, went to the kitchen to make a bowl of longevity noodles, "Please send it to me later. In the wing."
"Okay, girl." The waiter arrived.
Not long after Zhao Wangshu returned to the wing, Yun Hao came. He was wearing official uniform and looked majestic and solemn, "Wangshu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"You are the birthday boy today, so you are allowed to be late." Zhao Wangshu said with a crooked smile.
Yun Hao chuckled, and the two sat opposite each other, and the food and wine were served one after another.
"Happy birthday to you." Zhao Wangshu raised his wine glass with sincere eyes, "May you be safe and well in everything."
"Thank you." Yun Hao smiled. He clinked his glass with her and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Wangshu handed over the gift he had brought, "This is a birthday gift for you. Open it and take a look."
Yun Hao took the brocade box and opened it. Inside was A purse embroidered with a spreading crane, "Wang Shu's craftsmanship is really good."
"Thank you for the compliment, there is something in the purse." Zhao Wangshu said with a genuine smile.
Yun Hao took out the jade pendant from his purse. It felt warm to the touch. The crane carved on it echoed the crane on the purse. Yun Hao's eyes were bright, "I like it very much, Wang Shu , thank you."
"As long as you like it." Zhao Wangshu smiled as brightly as a flower.
Yun Hao tied the jade pendant around his waist, "I will always wear it."
Zhao Wangshu smiled sweetly, picked up a chicken wing and put it in his bowl, " Spread your wings and fly high, and the blue clouds will rise straight up."
Yun Hao's eyes were slightly raised, and his smile became deeper, "I accept your good words, and I will live up to my expectations."
The two of them tasted it. Delicious food, chatting, and a warm and beautiful atmosphere.
"Oh, by the way, there is no need to investigate Ni Wei's matter."
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Wangshu chuckled, " My clan sister has fallen in love with him and wants to marry him, so why should I bother?"
"Then we won't investigate." Yun Hao has actually found out about Ni Wei. , but Zhao Wangshu didn't want to know, so there was no need for him to say anything.
At this time, the waiter brought the singer who sang this "Birthday Wishes". The singer gently played her pipa and sang: "I wish you good health and long life. May the clouds and mountains be green and the rivers be clear. I wish you good health and longevity. You are healthy every year, and you are always auspicious. You are drunk with youth, and you wake up to see the passing light. May you be worry-free for a hundred years."
The song is melodious, with blessings and beautiful visions, making people feel happy.
“Does it sound good?” Zhao Wangshu asked with a smile.
Yun Hao smiled lightly and said: "Not bad."
"I can sing better than her. I will sing to you another day, okay?" Zhao Wangshu asked sweetly. .
There was a doting smile in Yun Hao's deep eyes, "Okay, I'll wait for you to sing to me."
After the song was finished, Zhao WangshuHe gave me a small piece of broken silver and said, "I'll reward you for singing the tune well."
"Thank you, girl, for the reward." The singer bowed her knees and thanked her.
After the singer left, the waiter served longevity noodles.
"This is longevity noodles, you have to eat it in one go." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
Yun Hao smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks and started eating. He listened to her words and ate the bowl of noodles cleanly, even finishing the soup.
"It's really delicious." Yun Hao stared at Zhao Wangshu, his eyes full of tenderness, "I have never eaten such delicious longevity noodles."
On Zhao Wangshu's face There was a flash of pride, "Of course, I prepared this specially for you."
After the meal, the two of them left Jinzun Tower and went to the winter market.
Every year from mid-November to early December, a winter fair is held, and businessmen from surrounding towns gather.
At the winter market, various small vendors line both sides of the street, with cries coming and going, making it very lively.
The sun was shining, but it didn’t feel warm at all. It seemed like it was going to snow. Yun Hao protected Zhao Wangshu as he walked among the crowd, stopping from time to time to look at the items on the stall.
Seeing someone selling sugar paintings, Zhao Wangshu walked over and asked, "How much can I transfer once?"
"Three pennies." The stall owner replied.
Yun Hao had handed over three copper coins to the stall owner. Zhao Wangshu reached out and pulled out the pointer. The pointer spun a few times and stopped on the rabbit.
"Girl, you are lucky." The stall owner complimented.
Rabbits cost more sugar and three cents, so the stall owner suffered a bit of a loss.
Yun Hao laughed dumbly when he saw Zhao Wangshu taking the candy rabbit and biting the rabbit's head in one bite.
While walking, Zhao Wangshu suddenly saw a small stall selling handicrafts, which was filled with various exquisite handicrafts.
“Look at this.” Zhao Wangshu picked up a small and exquisite wood carving, which was carved with a lifelike horse riding on a flying swallow. “The carving is so exquisite.”
"It's quite beautiful." Yun Hao also nodded in praise.
"How much?" Zhao Wangshu asked the price, and Yun Hao was ready to pay.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, "I want this horse-stepping swallow."
This damn familiar voice.
Zhao Wangshu saw Ma Qiaoqiao again. Accompanying her today was a man who looked somewhat similar to her.
"Miss Ma, I was the first to step on the flying swallow."If you like it, I'm asking the price. If you want to buy it, you have to wait until I don't buy it before you can buy it. " Zhao Wangshu said while holding back his anger.
"Although it is something from a stall, it is still worth a few taels of silver. Does Miss Zhao have the money to buy it? You're not just asking the price but not buying it, are you? " Ma Qiaoqiao asked provocatively.
"That's not something Miss Ma has to worry about. Zhao Wangshu continued to ask the stall owner, "How much is this?" "
"Five taels of silver. "The stall owner did not tell the real price.
Zhao Wangshu gave Ma Tafei Yan to Ma Qiaoqiao, "You can buy it, you have a lot of money, I can't afford it. ”
Knowing that the price is inflated, Zhao Wangshu should not be taken advantage of.
After saying that, Zhao Wangshu took Yun Hao and left.
