Chapter 66 The Red Chamber Building Banquets Drinking,
Because of Adelaide's existence, we naturally could not go to Tianxiang Garden to entertain William, and it was difficult to go there with our female family members, so Zhang Wei and Yang Zhili took William and his brother and sister to the most famous restaurant in Fengcheng - Hongxianglou.
The Hongxiang Tower can be said to be the first floor of Fengcheng. Although it is made of wood, it has seven floors, and the upwards are smaller and smaller. The whole is in the shape of a tower. It looks like a pyramid outside. The top floor is the private room of Tianzi No. 1, which allows you to see half of Fengcheng. In modern terms, this is a landmark building.
The Yang family has sent someone to book a private room in advance. The Tianzi No. 1 private room has been booked out and can only go to the next level Dizi No. 1 private room, which is one of the three private rooms on the sixth floor.
Everyone followed the waiter along the wooden stairs to the sixth floor. Now he looked out from the balcony. Adelaide exclaimed: "It's a miracle here. I heard that this is not the capital yet. There is such a large city. If we had so many people in Normandy, it would have occupied the entire Aegean Sea long ago."
William said humorously: "If there were so many people in Normandy, half would have starved to death long ago~~!"
"Didn't Yang say that the population of the Great Yan Kingdom is huge?" Adelaide shrugged, and the snow-white hemisphere jumped for a moment. Yang Zhili never dared to look directly at Adelaide. Although Zhang Wei was used to it in his previous life, he looked at Adelaide generously.
Yang Zhili said with a retort: "The population of Fengcheng is about one million, but this is just a small population in Dayan. For example, the Hejian Prefecture, which has the largest population, has a population of tens of millions. Although the population of Dayan is only a general reference, it is not much different, and it can even be said to be only more than it can be said."
William exclaimed, "What a huge empire!"
Zhang Wei said: "What about your country?"
William said: "The Principality of Normandy where I live is just a small country. Compared with the Great Yan, it is like stars and moon. It is not worth mentioning. I am afraid that only the previous Roman Empire can compare with the Great Yan, but that has become history."
Everyone talked and walked, and came to the private room. The wine and food were naturally ready. Four of them sat down. Zhang Wei sat in the home as the owner and introduced: "These are the signature dishes of the best restaurant in Fengcheng, please!"
Zhang Wei also instructed the two of them to use chopsticks. Adelaide learned very quickly and could barely pick up the food. William smiled bitterly. Zhang Wei had to ask the waiter to get the spoon. William nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Zhili called the maid to pour wine for the three of them and introduced: "This is the bamboo leaf green wine prepared after twenty years of storage from Hongxianglou, which is priced at gold. Please taste it."
The wine of Zhuyeqing was golden and green. It was very beautiful when poured into the wine glass. Seeing that the wine was full, Zhang Wei got up first and picked up the wine glass and said, "Welcome to you from afar. I hope you have a happy stay in Dayan! Cheers!"
The two of them picked up their wine glasses and responded: "Cheers!"
This wine is made of Fenjiu and precious herbs. It tastes soft and sweet in the mouth. The medicinal aroma almost completely suppresses the fragrance. The stimulation of alcohol is weak, and the overall feeling is sweet when you drink it. There is no stimulation of alcohol when you swallow, but the aftertaste will have a little bitter taste of medicine.
The brother and sister looked at each other, and William said first: "The taste of this wine is a bit strange, but it is not annoying, it tastes very special."
Adelaide nodded and said, "It tastes sweet, but it tastes a little bitter after drinking it. It is very suitable for ladies~!"
Yang Zhili introduced: "You are used to drinking wine, and I'm afraid you won't be used to drinking rice wine. This kind of bamboo leaf green is made of the very famous Fenjiu. It contains many medicinal materials. After drinking it, you can strengthen your body."
Zhang Wei continued to drink it and thought the wine was good. The wine was pure and sweet. He joked: "It turns out that this is medicinal wine. Men can drink more."
Unfortunately, no one understood this joke. Yang Zhili said in confusion: "What does this mean by my son-in-law?"
The William brothers and sisters also looked at him with confusion. Zhang Wei beat him a little embarrassedly and said, "Men always need stronger bodies~! Isn't it?"
Yang Zhili was still confused, but William nodded deeply and said, "It seems that he really needs to drink more!"
He raised his glass to signal Zhang Wei. When the two of them touched their glasses, they entered their stomachs. The few of them greeted each other while raising their glasses frequently. For a while, the people were drunk and the guests were all happy. In a blink of an eye, most of the jar of wine had already gone down.
In fact, the bamboo leaf green tastes not strong, but the degree is not low. The main reason is that the medicinal smell covers the smell of wine. Zhang Wei felt a little drunk at this time, so he stopped the wine glass and ate some dishes.
Adelaide also drank the cheeks flushed, and the snow-white cheeks were particularly attractive. At this time, she raised her glass to Zhang Weilai and said, "Dear Zhang, you must be the leader among the nobles here, right?"
The lady couldn't hide from the toast. Zhang Wei had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and touched her. The two of them drank it all. Zhang Wei, who was a little drunk, replied: "In Dayan, I am not a nobleman, but just a son-in-law of a businessman, and I am the kind of married me."
After Zhang Weilian gestured and explained again, Adelaide understood what Zhang Wei meant. He was actually a lowly person, not a nobleman. This was a huge gap from what she imagined. William interrupted: "There are many identities in the world, and no one is inferior to anyone. I am still an illegitimate child! Did he become a duke?"
Adelaide also realized his rudeness just now and explained with some shame: "I'm sorry Zhang, I didn't mean it. I just saw that you have a good tutor and talked funny. I think you are more like a noble than a noble."
Zhang Weiwu said: "I have no dissatisfaction with my identity. The Yang family is very nice to me. Do you think that I am not welcomed by such an important guest? And I think the honor of my identity is not as good as whether the person himself deserves respect."
William focused heavily and raised his glass and said, "You are right! The noble status depends on your background, and whether it is respected depends on yourself! Zhang, you deserve to be respected by everyone!"
Zhang Wei met him again, and the two drank it all in one go. They looked like confidants, one son-in-law and the other illegitimate son, both of whom were treated strangely by ordinary people, but they didn't care about secular people, so they had a common language.
Adelaide has always admired his brother William in his heart. He can withstand the huge pressure and inherit the title and govern Normandy ten times better than before. Such a person deserves her respect than those born nobles.
At this time, Zhang Wei was also such a person in Adelaide's eyes. He managed a huge family business with his own ability and said nothing about his humble identity, which shows that he is as strong as his heart and will definitely be an amazing person like his brother in the future.
Adelaide, who has traveled countless countries, has seen such a person again, except for her brother. She looked at Zhang Wei with some intoxication, feeling that she seemed to fall in love with him at first sight?

Brother and sister welcome the red wing building,
Lamenting that Fengcheng has a large population,
The drunkard talks about identity,
Love in my heart at first sight.
