[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

On the most prosperous and bustling street in the capital, a five-story restaurant stands tall. It is the largest and most prestigious Zuihualou in the capital.

The exterior of Zuihua Tower is exquisite, with carved beams and painted buildings showing an atmosphere of luxury. Its grandeur and magnificence are breathtaking.

At this time, a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly stopped in front of Zuihua Tower. The curtain was slightly lifted, and a woman with a graceful figure and a beautiful face walked lightly out of the carriage.

She was wearing a pink veil and a pink silk dress, the hem of her skirt fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

This woman was Song Yanzhi. A group of maids and old women followed her and escorted her towards Zuihua Tower.

As soon as they stepped into the restaurant, a smart waiter came to greet them with quick eyes and hands.

He bent down slightly, with a flattering smile on his face, and asked respectfully.

"Ma'am, are you going to have dinner or a snack?"

Seeing this, Qiao Banniang, who was standing next to Song Yanzhi, quickly took out a few copper coins from her arms, gently put them into the hands of the shop assistant, and said with a smile.

"We are here to visit a friend. I wonder if the Duke of Zhenguo's residence has reserved a private room here? We are guests of the Duke of Zhenguo's family."

Talking about the origin of the relationship between the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Song Yanzhi, it can be traced back to the banquet held at the He Mansion a few days ago.

At that time, Song Yanzhi met Madam Xiao Chang through the introduction of the old lady. The two had a great conversation and felt like old friends at first sight.

Since then, they have kept in touch and their feelings have grown deeper and deeper.

This time, he came to Zuihualou at the invitation of Mrs. Xiaochang's family.

I heard that the wine-steamed lamb, scallion-sprinkled rabbit, and stuffed yellow sparrow are all signature dishes of Zuihualou. They are so delicious that they make you salivate.

Moreover, Zuihualou not only has mouth-watering delicacies, but also has mellow and world-famous fine wines.

The most famous of these is undoubtedly the Hundred Flowers Wine. It is said that this wine is made from a selection of hundreds of fresh flowers, which are steamed and dried three times before being carefully buried under peach trees for three years to create this exquisite wine.

This was Song Yanzhi's first time visiting Zuihualou. Although this was a property under her name, she had never been there before.

The waiter didn't know that Song Yanzhi was his boss. When he learned that the elegant woman in front of him was the distinguished guest of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the smile on his face instantly became more enthusiastic.

"Madam, please come this way! The private room reserved by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is on the third floor."

The waiter said this with a big smile on his face, bowed slightly, and gestured to lead the way to the stairs.

Seeing this, Song Yanzhi nodded slightly to show her agreement, and was even more satisfied with the waiter's cleverness. It seemed that Yu Rao really put his heart into running this restaurant.

So, the waiter took a few steps forward cautiously, always keeping the posture of leading from the side, and respectfully led Song Yanzhi to the third floor.

After a while, they arrived at the door of the private room reserved by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion on the third floor.

The waiter first knocked gently on the door, and then a clear and pleasant voice came from inside the room: "Who is it?"

The waiter quickly responded: "Miss, a distinguished guest has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of light footsteps was heard in the room, coming from far away and getting closer, as if someone was walking slowly towards him with light lotus steps.

Not long after, there was a creaky sound and the door slowly opened, and a maid with a pretty face and graceful figure walked out.

When the maid saw Song Yanzhi from afar, a smile as beautiful as a spring flower immediately bloomed on her face, and she walked towards her with light steps.

"Oh my! It's the wife of the Duke of Pu who's here! My wife has been looking forward to your arrival. She's waiting for you inside. Please go in quickly."

Song Yanzhi raised her eyes and saw the maid walking towards her quickly. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a charming smile.

"So it's Sister Fuling. I haven't seen you for a few days. You've become so beautiful and charming. You're getting prettier and prettier."

Fuling was Madam Xiaochang's personal maid. When Song Yanzhi went to He Mansion, it was Fuling who served Madam Xiaochang.

When Fuling heard Song Yanzhi's praise, she blushed and stamped her feet lightly in anger.

"Madam Puguo, you really love to make fun of me."

After saying that, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, leading Song Yanzhi to the room.

When she walked into the room, Song Yanzhi saw Madam Xiao Chang sitting in the room, and next to her was Yu Linglong, who had a graceful figure and a beautiful face.

When the two saw Song Yanzhi step into the room, they hurriedly stood up to greet her.

Yu Linglong's eyes flickered as she teased Song Yanzhi with a charming smile, "Haha, Sister Yanzhi, you're late today. I'll definitely make you drink three glasses of wine as punishment later!"

"Oh my, I can't drink much! I'll be drunk unconscious after just one glass of wine, so please, Sister Linglong, have mercy on me and let me go."

Song Yanzhi's delicate and beautiful face flushed, as tempting as a ripe apple.

After playing together with Madam Xiao Chang and Yu Linglong a few times, their relationship became increasingly close, and it was natural for them to call each other sisters.

When the three of them calculated their ages, Madam Xiao Chang was undoubtedly the oldest; the second was Yu Linglong; and Song Yanzhi became the well-deserved little sister.

Although she is the oldest child among the several families, she is the youngest.

Look at Yu Linglong again, her big watery eyes are round and bright, as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

At this moment, she just raised her head slightly, revealing a cute and lovely look, which made people couldn't help but feel pity for her.

"Hehe, if you really want me to spare you, it's not completely impossible.

How about this, you just need to give me and Sister Jingshu two bottles of lip balm each."

Yu Linglong raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile.

"Oh, I finally understand. It turns out that Sister Linglong, you are trying to blackmail me in various ways!"

Song Yanzhi stomped her feet in pretended anger, and at the same time reached out and gently touched Yu Linglong's forehead.

You should know that the lip balm that Yu Linglong mentioned was carefully made by Song Yanzhi according to the formula of modern lipstick.

This lip balm is not only brightly colored, but also much more convenient to use than traditional lip balm!

"How can it be considered extortion? Just say whether you will give it or not. Give it or not."

After Yu Linglong finished speaking, she reached out her hand to tickle Song Yanzhi's itchy spot.

Song Yanzhi dodged and the three of them laughed together.
