"Who's the letter from?" Seeing his daughter-in-law's happy face, Mrs. Yao thought the letter came from Fengguo Village.

Before Su Kefang could speak, he heard Wei Peng's loud voice: "Good news!"

Before Wei Peng arrived, his voice came first, and after a while he came in with big strides, and Xiang Chenxiang behind him also smiled.

"What good news?" Zhai asked eagerly.

"Zirun repelled the Tianwei army that besieged Changfu, and took back Tongcheng!" Wei Peng said overjoyed.

Yao Shi and Zhai Shi stood up abruptly, ecstatic in their hearts: "Really?!"

Su Kefang also nodded with a smile: "Exactly."

The letter in her hand was sent by Feng Yiqing, and it was about this happy event.

It turned out that when Xiang Zirun first arrived in Xuanfu, the soldiers below were indeed dissatisfied with him. Xiang Zirun issued a military order with the soldiers, vowing to repel the enemy and retake the lost city and start deployment. After that, the army's heart was unstable. It is just an illusion used to confuse the enemy.

Just when the enemy was relaxing, Xiang Zirun led the army to break out of the encirclement, beheaded several enemy generals with his own hands, severely defeated the enemy army, and took back Tongcheng in one fell swoop. This was only a matter of a few days.

After this battle, Xiang Zirun gained prestige in the army.

"Thank God!" Yao clasped his palms together and bowed outwards again and again.

"Madam, ask the cook to add a few more dishes for lunch, and bring out my old wine. Let's have a good drink today!" Wei Pengxin smiled from ear to ear.

"Knowing that my sister-in-law and the others are coming today, I have told the cook to add more dishes!" Zhai said with a smile.

Wei Peng paced back and forth excitedly in the hall, apparently happier than Yao and the others.

Su Kefang smiled and suggested: "Uncle Wei, Auntie, everyone is happy today. I heard that the food and drinks at the 'Grand Hyatt Restaurant' are good. How about we go to the restaurant to celebrate?"

Taking advantage of the emperor's influence, Su Kefang and Xiangzi Run'an chose several prosperous cities in Jin to open "Junyue Restaurants", among which there is one in Shengjing.

Hearing this, Wei Peng hesitated for a while, and said: "If you want to go to the 'Grand Hyatt Restaurant' for dinner, you have to make an appointment in advance. I'm afraid you won't even be able to get a seat in the lobby."

Su Kefang smiled and took out a small jade token from his sleeve pocket, and said: "When I was in Yangfeng City, a friend gave me a token that allowed me to eat at the 'Junyue Restaurant' for free. I heard that it is available nationwide. Let's go first. have a look."

Seeing the small jade plaque engraved with the words "Junyue Restaurant" in Su Kefang's hand, Wei Peng's eyes lit up: "I saw this jade plaque in the hands of the former Fengying commander, but his jade plaque can only be eaten for free. Serving three tables of wine and food, he took this jade card and invited us to the 'Grand Hyatt Restaurant' for dinner, I didn't expect Fang'er to have this jade card in your hand!"

Su Kefang frowned, and said, "Uncle Wei, this jade token of mine is free for a long time."

Her jade tablet is different from what Wei Peng said, and you can't tell the difference without looking carefully.

"Can it still be free for a long time?" Wei Peng was surprised and delighted: "Since there is a free meal, what are you waiting for? Let's go now!"

Mrs. Zhai changed into the clothes she was going out again, got into the carriage with Mrs. Yao and others, while Wei Peng and Xiang Chenxiang rode horses, and the group went to the "Grand Hyatt Restaurant" together.

Although the "Grand Hyatt Restaurant" in Shengjing is his own property, it is also Su Kefang's first visit.

The layout of this restaurant is the same as the restaurant in Yangfeng City, but the area is much larger.

The shopkeeper didn't recognize Su Kefang and the others, but he recognized Xiaoqi general Wei Peng, who greeted him with a just right smile on his face: "Master Wei, who do you have an appointment with today?"

The shopkeeper knew that Wei Peng hadn't come to make an appointment, and seeing that he had brought so many people, he thought he was invited by others.

Wei Peng took the small jade plate from Su Kefang's hand and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "We're here for a free banquet."

The shopkeeper took the small jade tablet and flipped it over, then raised his head and glanced at Su Kefang, then respectfully handed the jade tablet back to Su Kefang, and turned to Wei Peng and others to lead the way: "Master Wei, this way please. "

Seeing that the shopkeeper personally greeted them to the private room on the third floor, Wei Peng was a little surprised, because the shopkeeper didn't even greet them in person when the former Fengying commander took them here for dinner last time. .

No matter what the reason is, forgive the shopkeeper for not having the guts to harm them.

After the shopkeeper left the private room, Su Kefang whispered a few words to Su Mu, and Su Mu also walked out.

Wei Peng had seen the jade cards in the hands of the former Fengying commander, but he didn't know that these small jade cards all looked similar, but there were actually several kinds. The difference between the cards is that there is a thumb-shaped carving at the bottom of the jade card, which symbolizes their identities. When the shopkeeper saw this mark, he naturally recognized Su Kefang's identity.

Not long after Su Mu went out, the waiter in the restaurant started serving wine and dishes one after another. Wei Peng and Xiang Chenxiang took a sip of the wine and said in surprise: "This wine seems to be better than the last time I drank it, and it's even more mellow!"

Su Kefang pursed his lips and smiled: "Uncle Wei, drinking has something to do with your mood."

"Exactly!" Hearing this, Mrs. Zhai also joked, "Even if it's rough wild vegetables today, it must be delicious in your mouth!"

Wei Peng drank all the wine in the glass, put down the glass and said with emotion: "I just heard the emperor's decree for Chen Hong to go to war. I was surprised and worried. I was surprised that there are descendants of the Xiang family. The most important thing is that Chen Hong has never been on the battlefield, how can he shoulder such a heavy responsibility?"

Wei Peng paused, and sighed: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Chen Hong gave me such a big surprise!"

Wei Peng, Zhai Shi, and Yao Shi were eating and drinking while recalling the events of the year. Xiang Chenxiang didn't drink as well as Wei Peng, so he went out to catch his breath halfway through the meal, and when he came back, everyone found that his coat sleeves were all torn.

"Xiang'er, did you fall?" Xiang Bingyu thought that his younger brother was drunk and wrestled outside and tore his clothes.

Although Xiang Chenxiang went out to breathe for a while, his face was still red and his head began to ache. He stretched out his hand and pinched his forehead, and said, "No, just now I went to ask the shopkeeper for warm water and took a hangover pill. Enough."

This hangover pill was taught to him by his elder brother before, and he always keeps it with him, and he can only take it with warm water.

Everyone just finished their meal, Su Mu came in from the outside, and said to Su Kefang: "Madam, the queen mother rewarded the old lady with many things, and the father-in-law in the palace has already sent the things to the Duke Huguo's mansion."

When Wei Peng heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Chen Hong won the battle, I guess the emperor and queen mother will reward him!"

Wei Peng is very pleased that the Xiang family can be valued by the emperor again.

"Sister-in-law, hurry back and reward the father-in-law who came from the palace." Zhai urged anxiously.

All the masters of the Xiang family are here, and the father-in-law in the palace will be unhappy if he doesn't receive the silver reward. It's not good to offend the father-in-law in the palace for no reason.
