Chapter 61: Mrs. Wen
Even in the country of Shenbi, there is no shortage of capable people, and there are ghost legends from time to time.
But there is only one person in the world who can do this!
"Everyone has their own secrets, I don't ask you or don't tell me, obviously I didn't try to defend you before, and now you don't need to tell me such a big secret."
The truth is such a truth, but Gu Shenwan did not treat Lan Yu'er as an outsider in his heart.
In the past, life was connected, and the same body was used.
Although there are suspicions, but after that time, looking back is just like a farce.
She took Lan Yu'er's hand down and held it, "I think there can be only trust between us and no secrets, I am worthy of trust, and I also need your help." ”
Lan Yu'er looked at her deeply, withdrew her hand, didn't say anything, but didn't refute it.
This is the end of the conversation, but it buys a seed called trust in the hearts of both parties.
When the time came, the two went together, and also went to Mrs. Wen's house in the Lan family's carriage to participate in the tea party.
Because I had an invitation in my hand, it was easy to get in.
After entering, you can see that there is a small world inside, which looks like a tall rotten house from the outside, but after entering, you can only see flowers and clothes.
Although there was still some distance from the time written on the invitation, many people had already come, sitting together in twos and threes.
Lan Yu'er never paused in her footsteps, no matter who she saw, she always walked forward, and did not sit down until she came to a small round table.
"Don't be too restrained, this is said to be Mrs. Wen's house, but in fact, it's more of a place that is often used to entertain guests."
"If you are thirsty or want to eat a snack, you can always call a maid to dress up." After Lan Yu'er finished speaking, she smiled and asked people to cut off two small flowers and put them next to the round table.
Casual behavior, as if visiting the garden, rather than being a guest in someone else's home.
"Wouldn't that offend Lady Wen by doing so? After all, this has the meaning of anti-guest-oriented, so many people are still messing around? ”
Gu Shenwan felt that if it was him, he should not be very happy to see so many people walking around his house, just like walking in a park.
It's as if it's just a public place where anyone can come and go as they please.
But the explanation I got from Lan Yu'er was.
Although this is not a thoroughly public place, and not everyone can easily enter and exit, Mrs. Wen often sends out a large number of invitations and holds tea parties or flower viewing parties.
Over time, it has always been a fixed location, and it has become a very famous social meeting.
Moreover, the surrounding scenery is really good, as long as it does not cause too much damage, guests can walk around at will.
It was the first time Gu Shenwan had heard of this pattern.
Doing so allows everyone to have a fixed place to connect and meet the people they want to meet.
However, "What can Mrs. Wen get out of this?" Does she need news? ”
Gu Shenwan has seen from all kinds of novels that places with dense crowds are often the best places to find out news.
There are even many times when the protagonist will build places such as Qinglou Restaurant to collect various messages for himself.
All she could think of was Mrs. Wen, probably to gather information.
Lan Yu'er slowly hooked her lips and smiled, and instead of answering directly, she said: "Mrs. Wen married a first-class member as a step-family in her early years, and three years later, the first-class member was beheaded for some reason and moved her family away from the capital, but Mrs. Wen, a weak woman, continued to gain a foothold in the capital unharmed. ”
"You know why."
Gu Shenwan naturally couldn't think of an answer, and he didn't know why so many people were implicated, but a mere stepfamily was able to live so beautifully.
Yes, compared to the somewhat tragic ending of that family, Mrs. Wen is already very beautiful.
Until now, it has been able to respond to hundreds of calls, and it has even become a trend to invite so many people by sending out a few invitations.
"Do you mean!" Gu Shendui's eyes slowly widened, thinking of this tea party.
Lan Yu'er was silent, but her smile deepened and she didn't say anything more.
After all, there are many people, and if you talk too much, it will be spread.
But there was no need for more explanations at this moment, Gu Shendui had already figured it out.
Mrs. Wen relied on the banquet to make contacts, so she was able to stay safe and sound, because there would be many people willing to protect her.
A little maid came over with a tray and stopped in front of Gu Shendui.
Bending over, he raised the tray in his hand above his head, "Miss, this is a child's invitation." ”
On top of the tray is a pot of sweet fruit wine.
Gu Shenwan didn't take it, but looked left and right, and didn't see any suspicious people.
"Can I refuse?" This was asked to Lan Yu'er.
"It's up to you to think about it, but this is a tea party, and rejecting anyone's invitation without malice is a manifestation of narrow-mindedness."
She can refuse or accept it, but it will have different consequences.
And no one knows what the outcome will be after making a choice.
Just now I heard about a good case of relying on connections to successfully counterattack, and she really didn't want to make her image more unbearable in the eyes of others.
I had no choice but to accept it, but I just put the national wine aside, and the cups and flasks were put in order.
Obviously there is no intention of moving.
This is a sign of politeness, and those who are secretly observing see it and nod their heads without a trace.
Acceptance is polite, and it is not easy to wipe off the face of others.
If you don't touch it, you are cautious, and you put it in order, but you just put it aside, which will not have any impact on yourself, and it will fulfill everyone's face.
"Damn, I don't even want to touch it, Gu Yu'er is much more cautious than I thought, it's a bit troublesome now."
The black-faced short scholar looked flattering, and when he saw that his master was already impatient, he stepped forward to offer a plan: "With your identity as a son, as long as you report your name, who will not take the initiative to give you a hug." ”
The man known as Childe is of medium height, slightly chubby, and holds a fan in his hand.
With a slight flick of the wrist, the fan was completely spread out, and a very meaningful landscape map was drawn on it.
Gently shaking the folding fan, the rich son showed a proud face.
Disdainfully: "When my son saw that Gu Yu'er was different from ordinary rouge gouache, she had a different taste, so she wanted to taste it strong!" ”
"It's a pity that she didn't touch it, so I can only go out and take down the person by myself!"
As time passed, there were more people coming, but the courtyard was very large, and there were many round tables that did not look crowded.
