Xiao Cao came in with a bowl of peeled pomegranate seeds: "Madam, eat this, it's very sweet."
This is the pomegranate Weiyang prepared for guests today. There were many people, so it looked nice, but few people were willing to eat it. It wasn't because they disliked it, but they were really afraid that the juice of the pomegranate would get on their bodies and ruin their new clothes.
"I think Liuzhou is a great place." Xiaocao gave the peeled pomegranate to Weiyang, and grabbed a pomegranate for herself, giving half to Konggu and keeping the other half for herself: "These fruits are much more than those in Yanzhou. Look at the pomegranates, they are big. The pomegranates in Yanzhou are small and astringent."
Konggu agreed: "Liuzhou pears are sweeter than Yanzhou pears. They are juicy when you bite them, unlike Yanzhou pears which are dry."
Wei Yang looked at the red pomegranate seeds piled up like a mountain in the small bowl on the table and smiled with narrowed eyes: "I still want to eat crabs. I haven't tasted any of the crabs I bought today."
"Yes, yes." Xiao Cao quickly put down the pomegranate and stood up: "I bought a few baskets of crabs, but they were taken off the table, which gave them to the kitchen maids. If Madam wants to eat some, I'll ask the kitchen to steam them now."
“Okay.” Wei Yang looked at Kong Gu: “Go get the jar of rice wine, cook it with shredded ginger, call the maids in the courtyard, and we’ll go to the garden to enjoy the flowers and eat crabs.”
Seeing that the Madam was in a rare good mood, the two hurried out as ordered. Even Nanny Sun and Nanny Li, who were talking outside the kitchen, were happy to hear that the Madam wanted to eat crabs and drink wine.
They were just afraid that the lady would keep talking about the general and get depressed, so it was a good thing for her to want to drink wine and eat crabs now.
"I'll cook a few dishes, and then have a drink with Sister Li tonight." Granny Sun rolled up her sleeves and walked into the small kitchen. "Sister Li, go get busy first, and come find me when you're done."
Nanny Li smiled and poked her forehead with her finger: "The older you get, the more frivolous you become. That's the fun of the young people. Why should we, a bunch of old women, get involved?"
"How are we old?" Nanny Sun waved her hand away and pushed her out: "Go, go, it's rare that Madam is happy today, let us be happy too."
For a moment, the mansion was filled with laughter and joy; it was even more lively than when they were entertaining guests.
Wei Yang had only drunk two cups of rice wine and eaten two crabs when Kong Gu forcibly snatched her cup away: "Madam, please don't drink any more. You can't drink much and you're going to get drunk."
"I'll have another drink." Wei Yang raised a finger.
She wanted to get drunk, so that she wouldn't miss Yan Gui so much. When she was drunk, she could have a good sleep.
Konggu reluctantly poured her another half-cup of wine: "Madam, you can't drink anymore after this one."
"Okay." Wei Yang picked up the wine glass and sipped it.
The rice wine from Konggu is slightly hot, tastes great, sweet, refreshing and spicy!
"Miss, if you don't want to eat crabs, please eat the chicken noodle soup. I just made it." Nanny Sun came over with a small bowl of chicken noodle soup in her hand.
Wei Yang looked at the small bowl in Nanny Sun's hand, then at the crab in front of her, and frowned in embarrassment: "Is it not okay if I don't eat noodles but drink wine?"
"That won't do." Nanny Sun objected softly, "Eat some noodles, and your stomach will feel better. Otherwise, you will be hungry at night."
"All right."
Seeing Wei Yang nod, Konggu hurriedly took the bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Wei Yang, and replaced her wine cup.
Wei Yang took the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat noodles. Nanny Sun hurriedly took the wine cup from Konggu's hand. She was afraid that it would be troublesome for the lady to find the wine cup after finishing her noodles.
Wei Yang didn't remember any of this. After finishing her noodles, she got up and went back to her room. She felt dizzy, probably because she was drunk.
