Chapter 203
203
Yuanbao booked a private room on the second floor. They didn't want to watch any singing or dancing, so they booked a quieter room where a few friends could chat and reminisce about the past.
Liu Ya and the Prince still look the same, but in fact the Prince has grown a lot. He has opened several script-killing shops in the capital and all over the country. He is much more mature than before, but he still acts like a little fool when talking to Liu Ya.
Shao Hui and Lin Yu still looked like an old couple, and they also brought their child with them. The little girl had grown up a lot, and her eyes were very bright. She had started to learn martial arts with Shao Hui. Her sitting posture was not like that of an ordinary girl, but had a bit more heroic air.
Fu'an and the wild dog have a relatively low presence. The wild dog can't speak, so he is just a background board in ordinary gatherings. Now that Fu'an has come along, he sits in the corner with the wild dog as a background board.
When he first met these people, he didn't dare to talk to them. They saw that Fu'an was quiet and was a princess, so they thought Fu'an was aloof and didn't dare to talk to her, and they couldn't relax in the conversation.
It was Yuanbao who told them about Fu
ЙàΝf
Seeing Fu'an's personality, they became more casual and greeted him warmly. They also noticed Fu'an's reserve, so they just chatted about their own things so as not to embarrass Fu'an.
It was Fu'an's first time here, and he was very reserved at first, but Ye Gou kept picking up food for him and pushed some exquisite and beautiful little cakes in front of him for him to eat. He took a few bites and was amazed by the taste.
He had never eaten cream cake before and didn't expect that there was such a delicious thing in the world. Although he was not used to this environment, he couldn't help but eat a few more bites.
After eating the delicious food, Wild Dog raised his arm and hugged his shoulders, protecting him in his arms, making him feel that he was in a safe environment. His body relaxed a lot, and he was bored, so he just listened to what they were talking about.
What they talked about were all things that had happened together in the past, or what they had done recently. These people were all career-oriented, unlike Fuan, who was a family-oriented person.
Fu'an wishes he could stay at home every day, while they are busy outside every day, focusing on their careers and interacting with people as a daily routine. Although they live different lives, Fu'an envies their lively way of getting along with others, but if he is asked to join, he doesn't want to.
The wild dog noticed his uneasiness, rubbed his head, and asked him in sign language if he wanted to go out for a walk.
In fact, Fuan wanted to go home, but he didn't dare to say it for fear of spoiling his mood.
Wild Dog noticed his uneasiness and wanted to use sign language to ask him if he wanted to go home. Before he could ask, Yuan Bao discovered what they were doing. "You want to go out? Let's go together. I heard that there will be fireworks outside today, and there will be many performances. We can't miss them because of drinking."
"Let's have a drink another day. Let's go outside to watch the fireworks today." Liu Ya stood up and pulled the prince beside her out first.
The prince had not finished drinking yet. He loved to drink on weekdays, but he didn't dare to drink in the mansion for fear of being beaten by the old prince. He had to open a shop outside. In addition, Liu Ya said that he smelled bad after drinking and was not allowed to go to bed with her. In order not to make her angry, he had fewer opportunities to drink. During the New Year and other festivals, Liu Ya didn't care about him and he could drink as much as he wanted.
He was dragged away before he could finish his drink. He directly picked up a wine jug on the table and followed Liu Ya downstairs with floating steps.
The others also went downstairs. The streets were bustling today, decorated with lights and colorful lights. Although they were traveling together, they did not walk together, but separated to see what they liked.
Yuanbao dragged Yang Shiming to guess lantern riddles. Yuanbao was not interested in the lantern riddles, but he was very interested in the rewards for guessing the riddles correctly. "Let's go, today we're going to win back all the prizes in the capital!"
Yang Shiming smiled and said, "Okay."
The prince said drunkenly beside him: "Leave it for others."
Yuan Bao: "It all depends on your ability. How about you come over and compete with us?"
The prince ran away quickly, fearing that his lack of culture would be exposed.
It was late at night, and Shao Hui's child was sleepy, so he asked the servants to take him back to sleep. The two of them walked hand in hand around the temple fair. When they came to a crowded place, they heard that there was a juggling performance in front of them, but there were several layers of people surrounding the front, and Lin Yu could not see it even if he stood on tiptoe.
He looked at the person in front of him, trying to see if he could squeeze in through the gap to take a look, but was patted on the shoulder by Shao Hui. Lin Yu turned to look at him and found that he had squatted down and was patted on the shoulder.
Lin Yu understood what he meant. Normally, he let the child sit on his shoulders, but he was not a child, and he felt embarrassed to do so in front of so many people.
He patted Shao Hui's shoulder and told him to get up quickly and not do anything that would attract attention. However, Shao Hui grabbed his legs, let him sit on his shoulders, and then quickly stood up.
Lin Yu was afraid of falling and dared not move. He felt very ashamed, but then he found a couple next to him doing the same thing. The husband patted his husband with shining eyes and told him to stand a little further to the left, saying that this position was just right.
He saw the couple doing this openly without being watched or gossiped about, so he didn't care and just watched the performance in front of him.
After getting married, he had a deep understanding of Shao Hui's figure and physical strength, and he was not worried that Shao Hui would be tired because of this short period of time, and he felt very sweet in his heart.
Zhao Yanlin in the crowd saw this scene and clenched his fists. After Lin Yu married Shao Hui, he fell seriously ill. After he recovered, he became thinner and less energetic.
The whole family thought he was going to collapse, and they were all considering whether to return to the village in the countryside or find a job in the capital if he died. When they continued to live in the capital, Zhao Yanlin got better and he regained his fighting spirit. He felt that Lin Yu was just greedy for Shao Hui's power. If he got promoted and achieved success in his career, Lin Yu might come back.
Before he became an official, he was full of fighting spirit and felt that he would be granted a title of nobility or become a prime minister one day. Although he had experienced some setbacks before, as long as he worked hard, he would be promoted in no time.
The ideal is very beautiful, but the reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
After several years of official career, without the status of a royal consort, people around him were no longer polite to him. If he did something wrong, he would be severely criticized by his superiors. His colleagues heard that he often reported treason to the emperor and were on guard against him.
He could complete his work smoothly, but his achievements were not the best. As he grew older, he slowly realized that he was just an ordinary person.
Originally he had accepted his ordinariness, but after seeing how loving Lin Yu and Shao Hui were, he returned home and fell ill again. After he recovered, he drank and lived in a daze all day, making himself live in a dream.
…
Ye Gou brought Fu'an out of Jinyu Tower and got on the carriage directly back home.
Fuan was a little surprised and asked him, "Aren't you going to go for a walk? I heard there will be fireworks."
The wild dog shook his head. He could sense Fu'an's uneasiness. He had heard that domesticated kittens were very timid and afraid of unfamiliar environments and meeting so many strangers. They would be scared to death. He felt that Fu'an was just like that. He had been acting very uneasy since just now.
He told Fuan in sign language: "We won't come out anymore."
Fu An became even more uneasy when he heard him say this, "Did I do something wrong just now and embarrass you?"
The wild dog patted his head and said in sign language, "Those are my friends, not yours."
Fuan: “???”
Fuan lowered his head, not understanding what he meant. Could it be that the wild dog was unhappy because he didn't say anything just now?
He returned home feeling lost. He had originally planned to wash up and go to bed as soon as he got home, but being hated by the wild dogs made him feel very tired and he wanted to go to bed right away.
But after a while, he heard some noise in the yard. He pushed open the door and saw Aunt Wang, another cook, and his two maids bringing a lot of food and filling the table in the yard.
He often went to the kitchen on weekdays and was very familiar with Aunt Wang and another cook. Those two maids were also selected by him later. They had similar personalities to him and he felt very comfortable with them.
He was very familiar with these people, and he didn't feel as uncomfortable as he had just felt when he was with them. He didn't worry all the time whether what he did was inappropriate, whether his expression was unfriendly, or whether people would dislike him for talking like that. He just had to be himself in front of these people.
Aunt Wang called him over, "The general asked us to spend the holiday with you."
Fu'an turned around in surprise to look for the wild dog, and saw the wild dog standing at the window of the house looking at them, with a pot of wine in his hand. It had no intention of joining them, but also had no intention of going back to sleep, as if to say, "I'm with you."
If wild dogs came over to eat with them, Aunt Wang and the others would feel uncomfortable. This distance was just right.
Fu'an felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that the wild dog, who always looked cold and indifferent, would actually care about him so much.
He asked Aunt Wang and the others to eat first. He walked to the window and wanted to say thank you to the wild dog, but he was not good at speaking and was too embarrassed to say thank you.
In the moment he hesitated, Ye Gou reached out and pressed his shoulder to ask him to turn around. Fu An was about to ask him what he was doing when he saw a large bunch of fireworks unfolding in the sky, lighting up half of the sky and also illuminating Fu An's smiling face.
Yuanbao originally wanted to go to Cheng Yeran's place after the Chinese New Year, but it was delayed for another two months. It was only when summer was approaching that he was ready to leave.
As a result, before they set out, they heard the news that there was a plague in Cheng Yeran's place.
Yuanbao, Liuya and the others were very scared and wanted to run over to check on Cheng Yeran and Shen Yuntang. They were also worried about Xingxing.
The emperor was also very anxious, and hurriedly sent people to bring Cheng Yeran's family back. He couldn't let their Cheng family be extinct, especially Cheng Zhao, who must not be in any danger. He regretted letting Cheng Yeran take Cheng Zhao away. If he had known that this would happen, he would have said it was right.

Leave Cheng Zhao in the capital.
