Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 93 Birthday Feast
  In the afternoon, Zhao Jiahua came and brought a box of cakes.

"Why do we, Miss Hua, come to see me when we have time?" Zhao Wangshu asked jokingly.

"I can come and play with you anytime from now on." Zhao Jiahua said with a smile.

Zhao Wangshu was surprised, "The old lady changed her rules again?" Why didn't Zhao Yufang say anything this morning?
  "Isn't that what it means? Cousin Qing and I are being asked to move back home."

"why?"

Zhao Jiahua shrugged, "I don't know."

"It's better to live at home than to live under someone else's roof."

"That's right." Zhao Jiahua smiled and nodded.

Zhao Jiahua and Zhao Wangshu chatted for a while, then stood up to leave, "It looks like it's going to snow, and the wind is biting."

"It's snowing well. 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, it was November 17th, Yun Hao's birthday. Zhao Wangshu went to Jinzun Tower with gifts, "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, longevity kernels, and melon seeds. and braised eggs; hot plates include braised pork, braised fish fillets, shredded chicken wings and fried lamb with green onions. Soups.”

"The second one is six cold dishes and six hot dishes."

After the shopkeeper gave a detailed introduction, he asked with a smile: "I wonder what kind of girl you want?"

"I want the second kind." Zhao Wangshu likes the beautiful meaning of Liuliu Dashun, although the food is a bit too much for two people.

"I wonder when the girl wants to have the banquet?"

"It's noon."

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you, little one." The shopkeeper was about to step back and 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 blouse he had prepared and put it on, then went to the kitchen to make a bowl of longevity noodles. "Please send it to the wing later."

"Okay, girl." The guy responded.

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 drinks were served one after another.

"Happy birthday to you." Zhao Wangshu raised his wine glass with sincere eyes, "I wish you peace and everything goes well."

"Thank you." Yun Hao smiled and clinked his glass with her, drinking it down in one gulp.

Zhao Wangshu handed over the gift he had brought, "This is your birthday gift. 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, I still have something in my wallet." 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, Wangshu, thank you."

"As long as you like it." Zhao Wangshu smiled like a flower.

Yun Hao tied the jade pendant around his waist, "I will wear it at all times."

Zhao Wangshu smiled sweetly, picked up a chicken wing and put it in his bowl, "Spread your wings and fly high, the blue clouds will rise straight up."

Yun Hao raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and his smile deepened, "I accept your good words and I will certainly live up to my expectations."

The two of them chatted while tasting the delicious food, and the atmosphere was warm and beautiful.

"Oh, by the way, there is no need to investigate Ni Wei's matter."

"what happened?"

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 doesn't want to know, so there's 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. The clouds and mountains are green and the rivers are clear. May you be healthy and happy every year." Drunk and sleeping in the beauty, wake up and look at the flowing light. May you live a hundred years without worries."

The singing 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. Can I sing it to you another time?" Zhao Wangshu asked sweetly.

Yun Hao's deep eyes held a doting smile, "Okay, I'll wait for you to sing to me."

After the song was finished, Zhao Wangshu took out a small piece of broken silver and said, "I'll reward you for singing the song 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 completely, including 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."

A trace of pride flashed across Zhao Wangshu's face, "Of course, I prepared this specially for you."

After the meal, the two left Jinzun Tower and went to the winter market.

Every year from mid-November to early December, a winter fair is held, where merchants 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 was probably 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 does it cost to transfer one time?"

"Three cents," the stall owner replied.

Yun Hao had handed over three 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're lucky." The stall owner complimented.

Rabbits cost more sugar and three pennies, 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. The carving was 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-treading 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 take a fancy to this horse stepping on the flying swallow. 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's something from a stall, it's still worth a few taels of silver. Does Miss Zhao have the money to buy it? She won't just ask the price but not buy it, right?" Ma Qiaoqiao asked provocatively.

"That's no need for Miss Ma to worry about." Zhao Wangshu continued to ask the stall owner, "How much does it cost?"

"Fifty taels of silver." The stall owner did not tell the actual price.

Zhao Wangshu gave Ma Tafei Yan to Ma Qiaoqiao, "You can buy it. You have a lot of money and I can't afford it."

Zhao Wangshu should not be taken advantage of, knowing that the price was inflated.

After saying that, Zhao Wangshu took Yun Hao and left.
