"Happy birthday, Miss Jiang! Girls change a lot as they grow up. They really become more and more beautiful."
"May Miss Jiang have a happy and auspicious day, and good health."
“Laugh every day, and be happy every year.”
Jiang Ling thanked the people around her for their congratulations and blessings, and her well-behaved and lovely appearance won everyone's praise.
Jiang Lianshan and Meng Wanjie chatted with them for a few minutes with smiles on their faces, and then they got on the carriage. Jiang Yi rode the horse, and they went to Ruyifang together.
Ruyifang is located on Changle Street, which is basically filled with singing and dancing halls, places to listen to music and opera, some antique calligraphy and painting shops, as well as large restaurants like Ruyifang and Fangfeiyuan that combine dining, watching performances, drinking tea, drinking wine and eating snacks.
In short, if you want to eat, drink and have fun, this is the right street to go to.
To the east of Changle Street is the Qingyu River, and Ruyifang is on the east side of the street, so you can enjoy the scenery of the Qingyu River as soon as you open the window of the private room on the east side.
The owner of Ruyifang is very smart and capable. In order to make good use of the Qingyu River to do business, he removed most of the windows on the east side of the restaurant's third-floor lobby and opened the windows very large. The dancers and actors perform on the low stage on the east side of the third-floor lobby. In this way, when the guests look up, they can not only enjoy the singing and dancing, but also the river view as the background, like a painting.
Not only that, Ruyifang also has a pleasure boat. After nightfall, you can board a three-story boat to cruise the river.
The barge is finely crafted and beautifully painted, and the hull is hung with large and small, colorful lanterns. It is wonderful to see it wandering on the Sunny and Rainy River in the night!
Of course, all these prices are very attractive, and ordinary people cannot afford to go to Ruyifang.
The owner of Ruyifang is a middle-aged man of medium height, with a round face and a fat body. He wears clothes made of gorgeous fabrics and a dark green jade ring on his hand. The jade ring is of very good quality and does not look cheap. He always has a gentle smile on his face and his eyes are curved, which shows the kindness of Maitreya Buddha.
His surname was Huang and his given name was Shou. He came forward with half a bent waist and bowed to Jiang Lianshan and the other three.
"Your Highness, the meal is ready. Just give the word and the food will be served immediately." Huang Shou handed over the menu with both hands.
Normally, as a boss, he didn't have to do these things, but it was the birthday of the Prince of Jingnan's daughter, and the people who came were all rich or noble, so he had to serve them personally.
After Jiang Lianshan was named King of Jingnan, everyone respectfully called him Prince.
He took the menu and looked at it. All the dishes they ordered were included. He nodded and asked Jiang Ling if there was anything else he wanted to eat.
Jiang Ling took a look at the dishes on the menu and her eyes widened.
Wow, this is much better than a full banquet, right?
Wouldn't this really be against the rules?
What if someone catches hold of this and reports her father, saying that his good daughter was extravagant and wasteful in holding a birthday party?
So Jiang Ling hesitated and whispered to Jiang Lianshan: "Dad, isn't it too much? Although you are the King of Jingnan, what if..."
What if there is a minister who is not afraid of death or offending others and writes a letter to the emperor to remonstrate with him?
Jiang Lianshan laughed at her frown and patted her forehead with his big, thick hand. "Don't worry, Dad knows what's going on."
"But Ling'er knows how to worry about daddy. She is really sensible." The old father expressed his relief.
Hearing Jiang Lianshan so relaxed, Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there should be no problem. She looked at the menu carefully again and found that all the dishes she usually liked were there. She felt warm in her heart.
She raised her little face and smiled and said, "I have everything my daughter likes to eat. Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom."
Meng Wanjie looked at her with a smile: "Why are you being polite? You just love to eat, can't I satisfy you?"
Jiang Lianshan handed the menu back to Huang Shou and said, "We can serve the dishes once all the guests are here."
"Okay." Huang Shou agreed, entertained them and went downstairs to keep an eye on the kitchen to make sure nothing went wrong.
Jiang Ling had just sat for a while when Cheng An and Wu Wanying came over together.
Zizhen went to the door to welcome the guests, and Luzhu followed Jiang Ling to serve him.
"Ling'er!"
Hearing Xiao An'an's clear voice, Jiang Ling couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and stood up to greet them, "You guys are here, come and sit down."
Cheng An took her hand and spun her around, looking her up and down carefully. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ling'er should be dressed like this, like a fairy from heaven."
Wu Wanying also came over and agreed with a smile: "Looking at it now, you used to wear too plain clothes. It seems that red and pink suit you better. They are beautiful and cute."
"You two look great today. You dressed up like this just to see me, right?" Jiang Ling put her arm around one of them.
The two of them curled their lips and told her not to think too much.
"I dress like this every day." Cheng An snorted.
Jiang Ling looked up at the hairpin and a pair of gold hairpins on her head, which were more than usual, and remained silent.
"Isn't it the same for me every day?" Wu Wanying also raised her chin.
Jiang Ling lowered her eyes and looked at the pearl and jade necklace on her neck, which was always empty, in silence.
There were also two people who wore precious Shu brocade skirts as if they had agreed on it today.
Haha, woman.
I love her so much, but I dare not admit it.
Jiang Ling held his forehead and smiled, "If you two like me, just tell me directly. I can accept it."
As soon as these words were spoken, both of them blushed.
"Ling'er! Uncle and aunt are still here!" Cheng An was annoyed and embarrassed.
Jiang Ling smiled at the two of them and walked inside with them in his arms, "Alright, alright, stop making trouble. Come sit down and have a rest. Lunch will be delicious soon."
The two of them went in and greeted Jiang Lianshan and the other two, then sat by the window with Jiang Ling.
There were a few people rowing on the sunny and rainy river outside. The oars swayed back and forth in the water, and ripples appeared on the water surface. In the sunlight, the ripples sparkled with tiny golden light, which was magnificent.
