Chapter 97 (Second Watch)
After the heavy rain, the weather was clear, and the people who had been stuffy for two days went out to breathe, and today's Ronghua Street was more lively than in the past.
The carriage passed through Ronghua Street, and the bustling sound outside passed into Hua Yan's ears through the carriage, she couldn't stand this lively and itchy situation, so she opened the curtain and glanced out, and said to Yun Chi, "The East Palace must not have prepared our lunch, thinking that we used it in Meifu, if we go back to the palace, the kitchen is estimated to be busy, why don't we find a restaurant to eat?" ”
Yun Chi glanced at her, had no objection, and bowed his head, "Okay." ”
Seeing him agree, Hua Yan's depression dissipated a little, "Do you know which wine and food are the best?" ”
Yun Chi said lightly, "The most famous thing in Beijing is Drunken Zhai, on the day you gambled in Shunfang Casino, the eleventh brother bought you a meal of Drunken Zhai, what do you think?" ”
Hua Yan thought about it for a moment and nodded, "It's very good." ”
Yun Chi instructed the outside world, "Go get drunk and fast." ”
Xiao Zhongzi should be, and the coachman hurriedly drove the car to the drunken dumping fast.
Before noon, there was already a long queue of carriages in front of the drunken gate.
Xiao Zhongzi walked quickly in front of his head, and after a while, the carriage came to Zui Zhai, he ran out of it, stood in front of the car, and whispered to the carriage, "Your Highness, Drunk Zhai is already full, and the private room is also full, but fortunately, the five princes and the eleventh prince came to Drunken Zhai for dinner today, and the private room was booked early, you see, is it with the five princes and the eleventh prince?" ”
Yun Chi bowed, "It's okay." ”
Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly ran in again.
Hua Yan jumped out of the carriage first, Yun Chi then got out of the carriage, and as soon as the two of them stood still, the fifth prince and the eleventh prince and two teenagers who were about the same age as the eleventh prince walked out of it and saluted the two of them in unison.
The fifth prince is still as Hua Yan saw that time, dressed luxuriously, and his appearance is also pure and noble, the eleventh prince seems to be taller again, his appearance is delicate, he is followed by the two teenagers, his head is lowered, it seems that he is very surprised to see Yun Chi and Hua Yan here, and his face, which is a little more handsome than the eleventh prince, shows nervousness and restraint.
Yun Chi waved his hand gently and lightly, "No need to be polite." ”
The four of them straightened up in unison, but the two teenagers still didn't dare to look up.
The fifth prince glanced at Hua Yan carefully, and smiled and invited Yun Chi and Hua Yan to enter.
The eleventh prince was very close to and very happy to see her because he had a friendship with Hua Yan to buy food, "Fourth sister-in-law, I told my fifth brother earlier that I wanted to go to the East Palace to see you, but I heard that you were picked up by the Mei Mansion, and I only have one day off today, so I thought about seeing you again, I am afraid that it will take several days before I can get out of the palace, but I don't think that you and the fourth brother will also come to get drunk and fast." ”
Hua Yan smiled and said kindly, "We also came back from Meifu and passed by here, and we happened to remember to come, which is a coincidence." ”
The Eleventh Prince nodded repeatedly, "That's a coincidence. The words fell, and he asked her with concern, "Are you feeling better?" ”
Hua Yan thought that the fifth prince and the eleventh prince went to the East Palace to see her a few days ago, but she pushed her, she smiled and said, "Okay." ”
The eleventh prince immediately said happily, "The four of us have made an appointment to go on a cruise on the Xiangshui River this afternoon, every time it rains heavily, the water of the Xiangshui River will rise three feet, and it is the best time to cruise after the rain." Do you want to go with the fourth brother? ”
Hua Yan suddenly became interested and said, "I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not available, but I am free, I can go." ”
The eleventh prince suddenly remembered that Yun Chi had to deal with the disaster in the Sichuan estuary after the heavy rain, and it was indeed the busiest time, he forgot about it for a while, and couldn't help but look at Yun Chi carefully and asked, "Fourth brother?" ”
Yun Chi didn't care too much, and he didn't object, and said lightly, "I really don't have time, since the eleventh brother invited, you have to take care of your fourth sister-in-law, don't let anything happen to her, otherwise I will ask you." ”
That's agreed!
Although the eleventh prince was happy, he was still a little abrupt when he heard Yun Chi say that he was asking you, looked at Hua Yan, remembered that she had done something at the end, and said tentatively, "Fourth sister-in-law, you ...... Nothing will happen, will it? ”
Hua Yan secretly scolded Yun Chi in his heart, he agreed and did not restrain her, but he gave her pressure and warning, the meaning of the words may not be known to others, but she is the most clear, which means not to be a demon moth and then make a plan to repent of marriage, otherwise it will harm the eleventh prince. He didn't ask her to blame, but he wanted to blame the eleventh prince.
She felt depressed again for a while, and glared at him fiercely.
The eleventh prince didn't get a reply, and when he saw Hua Yan staring at Yun Chi, he couldn't help but ask again, "Fourth sister-in-law, what do you say?" ”
Hua Yan thought that if she shook her head, it was estimated that these four people would not wait to take her to play, so she could only nod, "It's just a cruise, isn't it just playing?" What else can happen? ”
The eleventh prince was reassured, and immediately became happy, "Then it's decided, we'll go after lunch." ”
Flowery face.
The group went to the private room on the second floor, and the meal had already been ordered, because there were two more people, the fifth prince instructed the young man to bring the menu and hand it to Hua Yan to add a few more dishes.
Hua Yan was also polite, and ordered a few names of dishes that were unfamiliar to her on the menu.
The food came up quickly, and after Hua Yan ate two bites of everything, she couldn't stop nodding, "This drunken Zhai really deserves its reputation, the dishes are no worse than the chefs in the East Palace, and two dishes are even better." I wonder who is the owner behind this scene? I will eat it like this. ”
Yun Chi glanced at her with a cold eyebrow and didn't speak.
The eleventh prince suddenly became happy, and said mysteriously to Hua Yan, "Fourth sister-in-law, you don't know this!" This drunken fasting is also an inheritance in the name of the elder brother. ”
"Huh?" Hua Yan was really surprised, "This drunken fasting turned out to be his?" ”
She didn't know that the famous Shunfang gambling house in the capital, the famous Chunhongqi and Rouge Building, and this drunken fasting was also his. Is this the best industry in the capital that is in control of the capital? No wonder she won the ten years of dividends in the Shunfang gambling house, and she didn't see him blink his eyelids.
The Eleventh Prince nodded, "Exactly." When the words fell, he stabbed a young man beside him, "I don't believe you ask him, he is also a person from the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and he knows best." ”
Hua Yan never asked about the identities of the two teenagers, and when she heard that one of them was from the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion, she couldn't help but look at the young man twice, and she really didn't see the resemblance between him and Su Ziqi.
Seeing Hua Yan's appearance, the young man hurriedly stood up and introduced himself crampedly, "Back to the crown princess, my surname is Su Yuzhu, and I am ranked third in the Hou Mansion." When the words fell, he said with some difficulty, "My mother is a side room, and my identity is a concubine, so I dare not compare with my son." But this drunken fasting is indeed his. ”
Hua Yan smiled at her, "Sit down, you don't have to be so restrained." ”
The young man blushed when he saw her words and smiled softly, and sat down again.
Hua Yan looked at the other teenager and asked with a smile, "Then who is this?" ”
The young man who was questioned by him also quickly stood up, and replied with some restraint, "Back to the crown princess, my surname is An Mingziyan, and I am ranked fourth in the Anyang Palace." When the words fell, he also said, "My mother is also a side room. ”
Hua Yan suddenly realized that one of these two was the third son of the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and the other was the fourth son of the Anyang Palace. However, it seems that the character and appearance are good, so he got along with the eleventh prince, so he let him play with them.
The sons of these two mansions are not as good as Su Ziqi and An Shuli in the mansion, but when they are taken outside, they are much more expensive than the sons in the ordinary noble mansions.
She smiled equally gently and gently, "Sit down, don't be polite and restrained, I'm not a restrained person." Identity or something, I don't value it very much, people can't choose their origin, but they can choose their ability to be looked down upon. Therefore, identity is just a starting point, and people with a lower starting point may not be able to catch up with those with a high starting point. ”
As soon as she said this, the eyes of the two teenagers lit up together, and the people suddenly felt a little more energetic.
Yun Chi smiled, turned his head and said to Hua Yan, "You are really good at attacking people and attacking hearts, just a few words, but it makes people sound comfortable, no wonder you are invincible wherever you go." ”
Hua Yan glanced at him, "Are you praising me or am you hurting me?" ”
Yun Chi personally sandwiched a turkey leg for her, and said with a gentle smile, "Naturally, I'm praising you, eat it quickly!" In the past, you and I had dinner together, and I didn't see you talking so much, I really didn't eat and sleep, but today you talk more than usual. It seems that I will take you out to eat more in the future. ”
Hua Yan looked at the turkey leg in the bowl and was speechless for a while.
The Eleventh Prince and the two young men all opened their eyes wide, as if they were amazed at Yun Chi's gentleness and kindness to a person, they had never seen it before. The fifth prince was also a little surprised, but in the end, he was a little older, and it was not as obvious as the three of them.
With this little episode, Hua Yan didn't speak next, and no one spoke anymore.
After lunch, Yun Chi drank a cup of tea and instructed the fifth and eleventh princes, "Come back early, don't play too late." ”
The fifth prince and the eleventh prince hurriedly responded, with a flower face, they didn't dare to play too late.
Yun Chi didn't say much more, got drunk and fasted, and went to the council hall to deal with things.
Hua Yan went out of the city with the fifth prince, the eleventh prince, Su Yuzhu, and An Yuzhuo to the Xiangshui River.
