Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 299 Beasts
The carriage slowly drove away from Yun Mansion. The streets were bustling with people and bustling. The shouts of stall vendors and the bargaining among vendors were intertwined into a vivid market picture.

As soon as Zhao Wangshu entered the venue of the Hundred Beasts Show, he saw Yao Shanzhi and others sitting in the audience. She walked over with a smile on her face and asked, "Why are you here?"

"It's your birthday, how could we not come to celebrate you?" Yao Shanzhi said with a smile.

"What's more, if there is a show of beasts to watch, we will come no matter what." Qin Youzi added.

"Thank you very much for taking the time to participate." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"Don't be so polite, we are friends." Yao Shanzhi smiled and patted her shoulder.

While they were talking, they saw Zhao Yin holding Xiao Youyou and accompanying Song Yuanqu in.

When all the people invited arrived, Yun Hao signaled to the class leader that it was time to perform.

Four strong men came up carrying a big wooden barrel. The leader of the theater bowed to the people watching the opera, "Everyone, young men, girls and ladies, today our Hundred Beast Troupe is here to lead the Hundred Beasts to congratulate Mrs. Yun on her birthday. I wish you all the best." Mrs. Yun is as blessed as the East China Sea, and her longevity is as long as the Southern Mountains!"

The words were lively and festive and won applause from everyone present.

"I won't talk nonsense. Please wait and see! The play of Qibao." The class leader retreated.

A little old man came up, opened the lid of the barrel, picked up the gong, struck it, and shouted: "Turtle hatchling."

A turtle wearing a mask slowly emerged from the water.

The little old man called out seven kinds of small aquatic animals in turn. They all wore special masks and played in the water.

"Turn around, jump, swing your head, flick your tail." The little old man gave the instructions one by one, and the seven little animals followed the instructions in the water.

Everyone was deeply attracted by this wonderful performance. Applause and cheers came one after another. The little old man hit the gong three times in a row and said, "Enter the water."

Following his instructions, the seven small animals sank one after another, hid in the water, and disappeared from sight.

The little old man nodded with satisfaction and closed the lid of the barrel.

His performance was over, and the class leader came on the stage, "Next, please watch the sparrow carrying the flag."

I saw a middle-aged man coming up with a bird cage. He used a wooden whistle to command the sparrows. The crisp whistle sounded, and the sparrows in the cage seemed to have heard the command and flapped their wings to fly.

The man opened the door of the birdcage, and nine sparrows flew out. Each sparrow held a small flag in its beak, which was colorful and eye-catching.

The whistle may be long or short, urgent or slow, and the sparrows follow the guidance of the whistle and perform various complex movements such as flying, circling, and swooping in the air.

Suddenly, the man stopped blowing the whistle, and as if given the order, the nine sparrows flew in one direction at the same time, and finally landed neatly on a slender bamboo pole.

The sparrows put down the small flags in their mouths and pecked open the flag hanging on the bamboo pole. There were words on the flag, which read: I wish Mrs. Yun a long life.

Zhao Wangshu grabbed Yun Hao's hand and said softly: "Thank you."

Yun Hao moved his hand and intertwined his fingers with hers, "I will be satisfied if I can please Madam."

At the end of the performance, the man blew a wooden whistle and the sparrows flew back to the birdcage. The man closed the door and walked off the stage carrying the birdcage.

The class leader came up again, and after saying a lot of auspicious compliments, he said: "Now, please enjoy the monkey show."

The monkey charmer led a group of little monkeys in colorful clothes onto the stage. These little monkeys were lively and cute. Some turned somersaults and some made faces, making everyone laugh.

Zhao Wangshu watched with gusto, "These little monkeys are so cute."

After the monkey show ended, two big bears were brought up. The animals that appeared one after another also included tigers, lions, peacocks, parrots, etc. Each animal was carefully trained and showed its own unique skills, which made everyone present feel excited. Amazed again and again.

Zhao Wangshu smiled at Yun Hao and said, "Today is really an eye-opener." It's rare to see so many well-trained animals at one time.

Seeing that she liked her, Yun Hao ordered someone to send a snow-white little fox to Zhao Wangshu, "Do you like this?" The little fox had snow-like fur, lively eyes, and looked extremely cute. Zhao Wangshu fell in love with it at first sight. She reached out to touch the little fox. The little fox was not afraid, but instead lay on her lap docilely.

"Is this a birthday gift for me?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a smile.

Yun Hao smiled and said: "This is just one of them."

Before Zhao Wangshu could say anything else, Yao Shanzhi asked curiously: "Master Yun, where did you get such a pure white fox?"

"I asked the class leader to help me buy it." Yun Hao replied.

"I'm going to buy a little monkey." Yao Shanzhi jumped up excitedly and went to find the class teacher.

"Wait for me in Yixing, I want to buy it too." Qin Youzi chased after him.

Xiao Youyou stretched out her little hand, wanting to touch the white fox in Zhao Wangshu's arms, her big eyes full of curiosity.

Zhao Wangshu handed the white fox to her, "Xiaoyouyou, do you like it?"

"Hi, ah poof." Xiao Youyou's saliva splashed all over Zhao Wangshu's face.

Zhao Wangshu wiped the saliva from his face with a smile and didn't care.

After Yao Shanzhi came back with a little monkey and Qin Youzi carrying a birdcage, the group left the theater and went to Jinzun Tower.

Yun Hao set up two tables of wine in Jinzun Tower to celebrate Zhao Wangshu's birthday.

He raised his glass and toasted to everyone, "Thank you all for your honor today and coming to celebrate my wife's birthday. I'd like to toast you all."

"Master Yun is too polite." Yao Shanzhi smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.

After three drinks, Yao Shan Zhisai gave Zhao Wangshu a brocade box, "Wangshu, I wish you a happy birthday. This is my birthday gift to you. I hope you like it."

"Thank you, it was a waste of money." Zhao Wangshu accepted the brocade box, but did not open it on the spot.
Qin Youzi and Song Yuanqu all gave gifts, and even Xiao Youyou gave them a kiss as a gift.

Zhao Wangshu kissed him back, making Xiao Youyou giggle.

"Master Yun, where is your second gift?" Yao Shanzhi asked with a smile.

Yun Hao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and a delicate jade pendant appeared in his hand. It was in the shape of a little rabbit, and the rabbit's eyes were rubies. "Madam, this is the second birthday gift I have prepared for you. I hope you like it."

Zhao Wangshu took the jade pendant and warmed it, "This is warm jade! My husband is interested, I like it very much."

"As long as you like it." Yun Hao had someone buy a piece of warm jade a few months ago, draw the picture himself, and ask a famous craftsman to carve it according to the picture.

The atmosphere at the wine table became more and more lively. While chatting and laughing, everyone finished the meal happily. The couple sent Yao Shanzhi and others away, left the Jinzun Building, and went to the small courtyard by the lake.

Yun Hao prefers to be alone as a couple than with friends.

The courtyard is very elegantly decorated, with flowers, plants and trees scattered in an orderly manner, giving people a peaceful and comfortable feeling.

Yun Hao gently opened the door, and a fresh fragrance of flowers came to his face. Zhao Wangshu saw a heart-shaped flower bed.

There were red roses planted in the altar, and the petals swayed gently in the breeze, as if to greet them.

Zhao Wangshu asked with a smile: "Is this the third gift?"

"Do you like it?" Yun Hao hugged her from behind.

Zhao Wangshu leaned into his arms and said, "I like it."
