Chapter 172: Invitation
However, after this incident, the Feng family mother and daughter were honest for many days, and did not come to trouble Wanyi and the others in Qiuhua Courtyard again.
Even if they met on the road, the three girls didn't dare to confront it head-on.
And the Feng family learned that the Yuan family punished a cadre in the Qiuhua Courtyard, and she was afraid that she would really offend the Yuan family, so she did not make trouble with the old lady at this time.
Wanyi was afraid that the third master would have a problem in her heart, so she deliberately went to the third master to explain.
Whether the third master believes it or not, she has done her etiquette, and she is not afraid of others talking nonsense behind her back.
Although she has a bad reputation, she is not afraid of these.
Compared with the Feng family, the third master is also a person who understands, he asked Wanyi not to take this matter to heart, he has his own plans.
As for what his plan was, he didn't say it, and Wanyi didn't bother to ask, just smiled, and said goodbye to the third master.
As it turned out, Wanyi's conjecture was correct.
In front of the Feng family, the third master just mentioned the matter of Wanyi, and asked Du Wanfen to stay away from Wanyi, that's it.
Unexpectedly, this effect was counterproductive, and Feng Shi not only did not realize his mistake.
On the contrary, seeing that the third master actually defended an outsider, although she didn't dare to refute it in front of the third master, she was even more disgusted with Wanyi in her heart.
Wanyi didn't care about this, she just thought that the Feng mother and daughter were transparent people.
After the heavy snowfall, the nobles of the capital held more banquets.
Shen Rulan also sent a post to Bofu, wanting to invite Wanyi to her house to enjoy the plums.
By the way, I want to give Wanyi a strong strength, so that people know that she Du Wanyi is outside, and there are still people who are worried about her.
Generally, the posts given to the girl from outside come in, and they have to go through the hands of the main mother.
But after the post was sent to Yuan's hands, Yuan directly refused, and even Wanyi didn't notify her, and he didn't mention it to her later.
After all, a place like the General's Mansion is not something that a girl from her uncle's mansion can make friends with by the way, let alone a concubine who has made a lot of noise?
Besides, this concubine problem has been reversed, if Wanyi goes to the banquet, it will be troublesome.
To put it mildly, it's just that Wanyi is resentful; At worst, it is the crime of deceiving the king. This is something that their uncle's house cannot tolerate.
However, Wanyi pretended not to know about this and didn't care about it, and her shop is now on the right track.
The third master did not meddle in the affairs of her shop because of the resentment of the Feng family's mother and daughter, which made Wanyi feel a lot more relieved.
Doctor Fang and Ah Mu made a lot of chilblain cream for her in the space, which was very popular in this winter.
There are even nobles who come to buy.
In addition, when there are three or five times, some people also come to get prescriptions and catch medicines.
The shopkeeper Zheng is always kind, and carefully checks the list for everyone who comes to grab the medicine, and always clarifies when he encounters doubts, and does not sell drugs if he is suspicious. Although there are also rip-offs, in general, they have won a lot of reputation.
Relying on these for a month, I can barely maintain the expenses in the shop.
When Shen Rulan saw the post sent to Bofu, she was excused and returned, so she directly sent someone to send a letter to Wanyi's shop.
asked her to be a guest in General Shen's mansion on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, and said that he would call someone to pick her up in the shop.
Wanyi thought it was Shen Rulan's private invitation, so she agreed.
Who knew that on the morning of the twenty-eighth, it was Xie Zhaolin who came to pick her up in person.
Today, he wears a grassy green brocade cotton jacket, covered with a lotus-blue mink velvet, and there is not a trace of messy black hair tied up with a jasper crown; The smiling peach blossom eyes under the sword eyebrows are full of affection, as if people will fall into it if they are not careful; The tall nose and moderately thick red lips were just right inlaid on that handsome face.
At this time, he stood in front of Wanyi like a clear water white lotus, making her lose her mind for a moment.
Seeing Wanyi looking at herself like this, Xie Zhaolin's face flushed slightly. He coughed lightly against his lips, and then opened his mouth first:
"My cousin said, let you pretend to be my cousin first, so that you can enter the house with me."
Wanyi came back to her senses: "What, she still made an appointment with someone else?" ”
If Shen Rulan also made an appointment with someone else, in order to prevent others from laughing at her, she approached a scandal-ridden concubine. Wanyi decided not to go today.
After a few days, she will make amends to Shen Rulan.
Seeing that Wanyi had the intention of retreating, Xie Zhaolin laughed, revealing a row of white and good-looking teeth: "Today, my cousin only asked you out, I was afraid that you would feel embarrassed, so I asked me to accompany you." She said she had to take you with me, you can't let me be embarrassed in front of my cousin? ”
Xie Zhaolin turned his gaze a little embarrassed: cough, cough! It seems a little bad to deceive a child like this.
Wanyi didn't notice Xie Zhaolin's discomfort, and when she saw him say this, she had to nod: "In that case, I'll just go with you." ”
was afraid that she was going to the General's Mansion, so when she came, Wanyi specially brought a set of clothes.
She went into the room to change her clothes, and took a begonia from the space and put it on her head.
Liu Wu took out the peach gauze and big hairy crane he brought and put it on Wanyi.
I looked her up and down again to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then I was relieved.
Wanyi laughed at her: "It's just a gathering between little sisters, and there is no one else, you are too careful!" ”
Liu Fu was serious: "If you meet a noble person in the General's Mansion, you are dressed normally, won't you lose the face of the eldest prince Xie?" ”
"You, you?" Wanyi stretched out her finger and nodded her forehead: "Won't I walk around when I see the noble person coming?" ”
Liu Wu didn't answer, just went to fetch hot water and didn't mention it to Wanyi.
Xie Zhaolin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Wanyi, who had only been in for two quarters of an hour and came out.
Because it was a private invitation, Wanyi didn't bring catkins, but just made her wait in the shop.
She wore a hat, got into Xie Zhaolin's carriage, and went to the General's Mansion together.
When they came to the gate of the General's Mansion, they saw that the General's Mansion was decorated with lights, the sedan chairs in front of the Mansion were crowded one after another, and there were guards at the door under martial law, which was very different from usual.
It wasn't Xie Zhaolin who said it at all, only one of her was invited.
It turned out to coincide with the birthday banquet of Mrs. Shen, that is, the eldest princess of Jinyang. There will be a banquet in the mansion for three days, and today is the last day, and the people who entertain are all members of the Shen family and a few close relatives.
Although it is the whole life of the eldest princess of Jinyang, the general's mansion has always been low-key. I wasn't going to do it in a big way.
But Rao is like this, the emperor still specially sent someone to invite a troupe to sing for the eldest princess of Jinyang for a day.
Yes, Shen Rulan wanted to bring Wanyi over and make her happy.
It's no wonder that Bofu has been busy these days, making jewelry for the old lady and his wife, and cutting new clothes.
Yuan was still holding on to his newly improved body yesterday and went out with the old lady. It turned out to be a birthday celebration at the General's Mansion!
