Chapter 191: See You Again, Be Happy Again
I wonder how Huo Zheng is doing in Xizhou?
When will the rebellion be quelled and we return home safely?
Chunzhi calculated the days and found that Tan Qi should have escorted Jiang San to Xizhou, and Huo Zheng should have received her letter and amulet.
I hope Jiang San can be of use and help Huo Zheng put down the rebellion in Xizhou as soon as possible and return safely.
Huo Yanran had also heard what the people in the lobby on the first floor were saying. Seeing that Chunzhi was a little distracted, she leaned over to Chunzhi's ear and whispered, "Seventh Royal Sister-in-law, are you missing your Seventh Royal Brother?"
Haruji came back to her senses and said "hmm".
Huo Yanran didn't expect Chunzhi to admit it like this.
The princesses and other noble ladies that the little princess had known before were all very reserved about missing their husbands, and would even try to hide it when being teased. Unlike Chunzhi, she just missed her husbands without a single lie.
Huo Yanran thought that if her Seventh Brother knew about this, he would surely be overjoyed.
Yuzhu, who was sitting on Chunzhi's other side, said softly, "I just heard from those scholars that the prince is quite famous among the people. This is a good thing. I believe that if the prince is in Xizhou, there will be many capable people who will come to help him."
Unlike Prince Rui and the Ninth Prince who were eager to recruit followers, Huo Zheng was not in a hurry to recruit talents to work under him. However, although his previous inspection tour of Nanzhou and the personal execution of Prince Ning and his son caused an uproar in the court, it also made the people praise him constantly.
Things in this world are always a mixture of good and bad.
Now that Huo Zheng is suppressing the rebellion in Xizhou, there is a lot of discussion among the people. Chunzhi can hear people talking about the rebellion in Xizhou even when she is having a meal in a restaurant. This is not a coincidence, because there are so many people paying attention to this matter.
Chunzhi said, "Since he dared to go to Xizhou, he must have the means to quell the rebellion. We are here to eat, so let's just have a good meal."
"That's right." Song Wan'er had been unable to get a word in earlier, but her eyes lit up immediately when she heard her sister mention eating. "The most important thing in life is to eat well!"
As they were talking, the waiter brought the signature dishes to the queue.
In the blink of an eye, the table was filled with food and a pot of wine.
The waiter said, "This is our most famous Rouge Zui in Zhenweilou. Ladies, you can try it, but don't drink too much. Rouge Zui can make you drunk easily."
There were eighteen dishes on the table, all of which were Zhenweilou’s signature dishes, with great color, aroma and taste, making one’s mouth water.
Chunzhi said to the waiter, "Alright, you can leave now."
"Okay, enjoy your meal." The waiter responded and retreated, closing the door of the private room.
"This Rouge Drunk is the most famous wine at Zhenweilou. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. When I was at home, my brother wouldn't let me drink! Finally, I don't have to be controlled by him today!"
Song Wan'er picked up the wine jug and poured wine for everyone.
Chunzhi said, "I've never drunk alcohol before. If I get drunk after one glass, I won't be able to continue playing outside this afternoon."
Song Wan'er hesitated when she heard this.
"Anyway, I definitely won't get drunk after just one glass." Huo Yanran took one of the glasses and sniffed it. "This wine smells so good."
Song Wan'er was so tempted that she quickly picked up one of the cups and said, "I'm sure I won't get drunk after just one cup!"
"Let's have a clink?" Chunzhi glanced at Yuzhu, and they each picked up a glass.
The four of them clinked their glasses, and Song Wan'er said, "This is our first time drinking together, is there something you want to talk about?"
Huo Yanran smiled and said, "If you want to talk, you go first."
"I'll go first, then I'll go first." Song Wan'er thought to herself, have I never organized a drinking party or read a storybook?
Miss Song raised her glass and said, "May we sisters meet and enjoy each other year after year like today!"
"That's well said." Huo Yanran said, "This cup should be drunk."
The four wine glasses clinked together, the wine swayed slightly, and everyone drank it all in one gulp.
Chunzhi drank the whole glass of wine and said with a smile, "This Rouge Drunk is indeed the most famous wine of Zhenweilou. It is really good."
"As for the second cup, I'll take it." Huo Yanran picked up the wine jug and filled Chunzhi's glass.
Chunzhi held the little princess's hand and said, "Come back later. Eat the food first."
Yuzhu also said: "Drinking on an empty stomach is harmful to your health. It's better to eat something first."
"That's fine." Huo Yanran smiled and said, "I'm just too happy. Let's eat."
The signature dishes of Zhenweilou are of course delicious, but it is even more rare to have a few people take a half day off to enjoy the delicious food and wine here.
While Song Wan'er was picking up some dishes for Huo Yanran, she told her the origins of these dishes.
Miss Song doesn't know anything else, but she knows a lot about eating, drinking and dressing.
Huo Yanran liked Song Wan'er even more because of this.
Chunzhi told Yuzhu about the management of Zhenweilou. They talked about their own interests, ate and drank, and felt very comfortable.
After her stomach was almost full, Huo Yanran began to pour the wine. "This second cup is from afar. I wish my seventh brother a speedy suppression of the rebellion and a triumphant return!"
The little princess said this, and then added with a smile, "Soon, let's have the Seventh Princess give me a little niece!"
Chunzhi smiled and clinked her glass with Huo Yanran's. "Looks like I have to drink this one."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Chunzhi knew that she couldn't drink much, so she was satisfied after having a taste of Rouge Drunk and had no intention of drinking more.
Song Wan'er and Huo Yanran immediately filled their third glasses.
Seeing this, Chunzhi reminded them, "Don't drink too much when dining out. If you really like this Rouge Drunk, buy some and take it back home to drink slowly."
Yuzhu said, "It's okay to get drunk at home, but you can't get drunk outside."
Song Wan'er let go of the wine glass with some regret.
Huo Yanran smiled and drank the third glass of wine, then turned the glass over. "That's the last one, eat more."
A few people were eating when suddenly there was a noise outside.
"It seems like someone is fighting!"
Song Wan'er loved the hustle and bustle, so she immediately stood up and walked to the window to look out.
Huo Yanran also stood up and walked to the window. Chunzhi and Yuzhu were full, so they went to watch the fun together.
Opposite the Zhenwei Building was a theater. Two young men came out from inside and started fighting. A group of servants who were trying to stop them failed rushed in and started fighting too.
The noise was so loud that people passing by on the street stopped to watch.
The two young men who led the fight fought each other angrily, and did not forget to curse at each other: "How dare you steal my people? Are you tired of living?"
"Fuck you! Yu Furong is obviously my mistress!"
The troupe owner rushed out and said, "Stop fighting, stop fighting!"
It turned out that two young masters were fighting in public for a performer.
Song Wan'er said, "Yu Furong, I know her. She is one of the three most famous actresses in the capital."
Huo Yanran said, "She's the kind of beauty that people would fight over in the street. I'd like to see what kind of beauty this Yu Furong is."
As they spoke, they looked at each other and both wanted to go to the theater.
However, at this moment, the two young men who were fighting suddenly separated, and one of them shouted, "Wang Wulang, you are about to become a prince consort, and you are still trying to steal Yu Furong from me. Aren't you afraid that the person in the palace will find out and skin you alive?"
"Is that...Wang Wulang?"
Huo Yanran was stunned when she heard this.
How come I ended up seeing it happening to me while I was watching the fun?
