Chapter 39: Going Out to Eat and Drink
As soon as the banquet was over, the young ladies of each family were sent away, Jiang Ziyu was still sitting in place, drinking tea lightly, and Nan Huaifeng finally had a chance to speak.
"You deliberately induced Zhao Yingying?" Nan Huaifeng has also reacted like this, and now that the Beiyi mission has not yet entered Beijing, if the people on the Queen Mother's side react and force Zhao Yingying to marry others, then their actions will outweigh the losses.
Jiang Ziyu nodded lightly and said, "She is not ambitious, and she just helped me." β
If Zhao Yingying hadn't shown that she was interested in Nan Huaifeng, she would never have thought of using this method, after all, it was difficult for her to understand why someone would show affection for someone who didn't know anything at all, was it because Nan Huaifeng had sword eyebrows and starry eyes or because he was in power?
Jiang Ziyu didn't understand, and she didn't bother to think about it, she was incompatible with this era, she didn't want to go with the flow, she would do her part, but she wouldn't change anything because of this, let alone fully integrate.
"I saw that you didn't eat anything just now, take An'er and them to Taibaiju, that place is spacious." Nan Huaifeng opened his mouth in a low voice, Jiang Ziyu rubbed his stomach, remembered the fine wine of Taibaiju, and nodded in agreement.
The two of them went back to the courtyard to change their clothes, Jiang Ziyu wore a pair of ink-colored skirts, his hair was combed high, and Xingyu also tied two white headbands, looking that the whole person was in good spirits.
Nan Huaifeng looked down at his white clothes, thinking about going back to change his clothes, but Morning Star saw it and hurriedly whispered: "Master, this one is also a perfect match for the princess to wear." β
"Really?" Nan Huaifeng raised his eyebrows? Morning Star nodded earnestly, and he dispelled the idea of going back to change clothes. Morning Star exhaled silently behind him, why is the prince getting more and more naΓ―ve in front of the princess now?
Jiang Ziyu took the apricot rain and the shadow of the stream to break, Nan Huaifeng pulled Nan Qian'an and followed the morning star, and the group took a carriage and went straight to Taibai Ju, which was also lively at this time.
Chenxing had already sent someone to Taibai Ju to book a private room, and as soon as Nan Huaifeng and the others arrived, Xiao Er led them over with a smile and respectfully.
"Little Er, let's have two jars of wine first." Liuying shouted first, and Xiao Er responded: "Today, the store just dug up a few jars of Hantan incense from the earthen kiln, and the son looks at this wine?" β
Liuying looked at Jiang Ziyu, Jiang Ziyu touched his chin and felt that he could try, so he nodded. Xiao Er hurriedly instructed the people outside to carry two jars of Hantan incense.
Jiang Ziyu has never been picky about what dishes to eat, Nan Huaifeng asked his nephew to pick a few that he wanted to eat, and asked the cook to cook some specialty dishes at will.
Although Taibaiju and Zuixianlou are in competition, one relies on delicacies and the other on wine, which is not in conflict with word-of-mouth, and it is also the reason why it can be so harmonious.
Not long after, someone came over with two jars of cold pond incense, Zipo got up and poured a bowl for the princess, and Jiang Ziyu took a sip of the wine bowl.
"How? Does it taste okay? Nan Huaifeng was afraid that she would not be used to drinking, so Zipo also poured him a bowl, but he was not in a hurry to drink.
Jiang Ziyu nodded slightly, this ancient wine is indeed a jade liquid, and the wine in her previous life can't be compared.
Nan Huaifeng was relieved to see that she liked it, and asked Morning Star to go down and buy all the Hantan incense and send someone back to the palace. Chenxing nodded and got up and went down, Jiang Ziyu saw all this in his eyes, and didn't say anything.
"Fart! What is the king of the county, do I want to be a master? Would you like to marry someone you don't like? β
Suddenly there was an angry shout outside, Nan Huaifeng and Jiang Ziyu glanced at each other, and they could all hear who it was - this angry and dissatisfied voice came from Zhao Liang, who had just been crowned the king of the county.
"Don't say that, the eldest princess Ning Xin is the most noble and beautiful woman in the whole capital, in terms of identity, she is the first one among the girls who have not left the pavilion, and in terms of appearance, good brother must not make trouble, such a great good thing can not be asked for by others."
It seems that his friends around him have been persuading him, Zhao Liang smiled bitterly, it seemed that he was drunk, he didn't care what place this was, he kicked over the chair next to him, and said, "Do you think it's good, I'll go and ask the Queen Mother to replace you?" What do you think it would be good to marry the eldest princess? As far as her coquettish rudeness is concerned, I think it's better to forget it. β
"Brother Liang, I can't say this."
Jiang Ziyu chuckled when he heard this, dragged his chin and lowered his voice: "You said that both parties are dissatisfied with this family business, what will happen after becoming a parent?" β
Nan Huaifeng hooked his lips and said, "What else?" Zhao Liang is Gao Pan categorically did not dare to do anything sorry for Ning Xin, so he could only compromise and endure the humiliation. But as long as you are human, you will have a day when you can't bear it. β
Jiang Ziyu chuckled lightly while holding the wine glass, Nan Huaifeng raised her eyes to look at her, and she said with emotion: "In this huge imperial city, extravagance and prosperity make people drunk and fascinated, and the imperial power is rich and noble, but how many people have been imprisoned by this Zhong Mingding's life of eating drunk and dreaming of death all their lives, and they can't help themselves all their lives. β
Nan Huaifeng was a little silent when he heard her words, looked at her and said softly: "Most people can't let it go, they have family heirs, there are glory and power to be persecuted, even if they want to be chic, they have too many concerns. β
Jiang Ziyu raised his eyebrows and took another sip of wine, indeed, most people can't let it go. If her family in her previous life was still there, she wouldn't be able to let it go. Now she can act willfully, relying only on the confidence that she has no fetters and worries. Come alone, dashing and free.
The noise outside stopped abruptly, Jiang Ziyu was wondering, and Morning Star walked in.
"No wonder it's no longer noisy outside, I saw you." Jiang Ziyu smacked his lips, Morning Star closed the door tightly, glanced outside and said, "It's the young master of the Wei State Mansion who is here." β
Nan Huaifeng paused to pick up the wine glass, looked up and asked, "Wei Ziyi?" β
"Yes."
Nan Huaifeng sneered lightly at the corner of his mouth, Jiang Ziyu raised his eyebrows when he saw his expression and asked, "What is the festival between you and him?" β
"It's not a holiday, the Wei family is the queen mother's mother's family, and only Wei Ziyi is a man in this generation, and the rest are daughters. The Guogong Mansion regarded him like a baby, when my brother died of illness, the Queen Mother not only sent the fifth child out first, but also sent away this Young Master Wei. β
Nan Huaifeng tapped the table, and Jiang Ziyu said lightly: "Afraid that you will kill him to stop his anger?" β
"Yes, after all, I went straight to the Imperial City with the Forbidden Army, and few of them will be at peace in their hearts. Even if I were to slaughter the city at that time, there would be no army that could resist it. β
Speaking of this question, Jiang Ziyu remembered another matter, and asked bluntly: "Why is your brother inheriting the throne and you are fighting at the border pass?" β
Nan Huaifeng took a sip of wine and said, "At the beginning, I liked the art of war and was not interested in imperial power. When the queen mother heard about it, she paved the way for me, found a famous master in the rivers and lakes to teach me martial arts, and found a general in the military camp who had a lot of achievements to teach me the art of war. The queen mother is also so that I can help my royal brother, after all, we are brothers. Rather than giving away military power, it is better to give it to your own family. β
Jiang Ziyu smacked his tongue, and it happened that Xiao Er brought the dishes, and everyone started eating.
"The forbidden army was also ordered by the imperial brother to recruit me, and only by having an army that belongs to us can we stabilize the imperial power. If it weren't for the fact that I had a lot of private soldiers at the beginning, I am afraid that I would not be able to hold this throne even if I returned to the capital. Nan Huaifeng had a few deep melancholy in his eyes, his brother trusted him, but he didn't protect his brother in the end.
Jiang Ziyu drank the wine silently, Nan Qian'an ate obediently, and shouted Zipo or Liuying to him if he couldn't reach it.
"The princess of Beiyi can see who she is before making a choice with her relatives." Nan Qian'an suddenly said this, Nan Huaifeng looked at him with interest and asked, "Why?" β
"What if it's a grumpy one? What if it's a docile and gentle one? Who to kiss depends on who she is first. In a few days, the Heqin mission will arrive, and it will not be too late to see it then. When Nan Qian'an spoke, he was like Nan Huaifeng, calm and meticulous.
Nan Huaifeng looked at him with satisfaction and asked, "Taifu has taught you?" β
"Yes and no, Taifu just asked what his nephew should think about this matter, and I didn't answer him." Nan Qian'an took a sip of soup with a small bowl, and Nan Huaifeng continued to ask, "Why don't you go back?" β
"What if Taifu spreads this after I say it? My aunt said not to trust outsiders easily, Taifu is an outsider. Nan Qian'an looked at Jiang Ziyu with crooked eyes as if asking for praise, but after saying this, everyone in the room was a little surprised.
Nan Qian'an is only eleven years old, and he has unique opinions, not to mention this anti-people's mind, but he has learned enough from Jiang Ziyu.
"Your aunt is right, and you're doing well." Nan Huaifeng praised him, stretched out his hand to clip a piece of duck leg meat for him, and looked at Jiang Ziyu with several praises and gratitude.
Jiang Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly, this is also Nan Qian'an, this kid is talented, he learns everything without saying anything, and he will draw inferences from one another. The calm temperament does not lose the innocence, and the thoughtfulness is a natural imperial talent.
After eating and drinking, Nan Huaifeng planned to go back to the house, he asked the three of Morning Star to escort An'er and Xingyu back first, and took these people away, and he took Jiang Ziyu to walk around the street slowly.
There are still vendors on both sides of the street, Jiang Ziyu looked at it with great interest, Nan Huaifeng followed her, although there was everything in the palace, but it was rare for her to have leisure and leisure, so she would not disturb her anything.
After a while, he walked out of the bustling street market and turned onto the road to the palace. Jiang Ziyu stepped on the moon, Nan Huaifeng followed, and reached out and took out a box.
"What is this?" Jiang Ziyu took the box curiously, and opened it to see that it was a string of bronze bracelets she had just seen on the street. It's not an unusual thing, Nan Huaifeng explained in a low voice: "I just saw you watched it for two more seconds, thinking you liked it." β
Jiang Ziyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, chuckled, buttoned the box, and said, "I really like it." β
Nan Huaifeng also became happy, I don't know if it was his psychological effect or the reason for the light moonlight, Jiang Ziyu at this moment had a little soft taste.
