Chapter 98: The Shen Family
Although Wei Fu did not hold this flower-viewing banquet to enjoy the flowers, since he borrowed this name, he naturally did not forget the lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond.
It's a little hot today, but on the edge of the lotus pond in the inner house, a curtain of shading is put under the tree early, and tables and chairs are placed inside, as well as tea and snacks, sitting here, you don't need to bask in the sun, but you can enjoy the beautiful scenery in the lotus pond, and occasionally the breeze blows slowly, which is very pleasant.
When Wei Fu returned to the inner courtyard, the ladies who had been brought in had already sat down, the older ones gathered in one place, talking about the latest news in the capital, and the juniors gathered in another place, chatting in groups of three or five, which made people feel lively.
The older ladies were greeted by the Zhou family, and the ladies from the various prefectures were greeted by Sister Tian and Wei Ying.
Yesterday, Sister Tian had already rehearsed with Wei Fu in advance, and she had already understood what problems she would encounter on the way to entertain guests and what to do, so she was at ease at this time.
Which lady drinks too much tea and wants to go to the toilet, which lady likes to eat some kind of snack and needs to buy some, which lady accidentally gets dirty with tea and wants to go to the guest house to change her clothes......
Sister Tian methodically instructed the maid to deal with it, and it looked like it was much more mature all of a sudden.
As for what these little girls think of Sister Tian'er......
At least on the surface, none of the young ladies who came to visit showed any undeserved emotions.
Wei Fu only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze.
As long as Sister Tian is not wronged, it's fine.
Eve walked towards the place where the ladies had gathered.
Zhou immediately found Wei Fu coming over and greeted her with a smile.
"Thanksgiving sister-in-law." Wei Fu laughed.
Zhou shook his head: "It's all a family, it's just to help greet guests, why should my sister-in-law be polite?" ”
Moreover, in this process, Zhou's is not without gains.
Over the years, Wei Fu has not had a good relationship with her mother's family, and the whole capital knows about it.
But no matter how bad the relationship between Wei Fu and her mother's family is, she is the daughter of the Wei family, this is a fact.
Jing'anbo's Mansion was already despised by good people because of the absurdity of the old uncle Wei Mingyuan's behavior, and "Wei Fu" spared no effort to die, it is easy to make people think that the people of Jing'anbo Mansion are acting like this.
Once such an impression is formed, it is extremely difficult to erase it.
Under such circumstances, the marriage of the brothers Wei Nan and Wei Bei naturally became extremely difficult.
But lately......
Wei Fu didn't do anything ridiculous for a long time, not only held this flower viewing banquet to entertain the ladies with school-age children in various prefectures in Beijing, but also invited the Zhou family to help entertain the guests, not only seemed to have a good relationship with the Zhou family and others, but even Wei Fu himself seemed to have changed greatly from before.
Some of the ladies who had dealt with Wei Fu in the past, when they saw Wei Fu today, also remembered how Wei Fu was able to communicate with them more than ten years ago.
Duchess Zhenguo......
It looks like a lot has changed.
This is what many people think.
Wei Fu was no longer polite with the Zhou family at this time, and while walking with the Zhou family to the place where the ladies were sitting, he asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, is the Shen family here?" ”
Previously, Wei Fu greeted guests at the second gate, but there were too many guests, and Wei Fu did not have three heads and six arms, many times he just nodded slightly with people, and then took the maid into the inner courtyard and handed them over to the Zhou family to entertain.
It is precisely like this, Wei Fu doesn't know whether the Shen family has come.
The Shen family, that is, the Yue family where Tao Ge'er came in.
Although Wei Fu was not very satisfied with this marriage, since Tao Ge'er was unwilling to withdraw from the marriage, and the divorce was not fair to Shen Jun, who had not done anything wrong, Wei Fu could only accept this marriage.
One of the purposes of holding a flower appreciation banquet this time is to take this opportunity to meet Shen Jun.
This is the person who will spend his life with Tao Ge'er in the future, how can Wei Fu have to take a look in advance.
Hearing Wei Fu mention the Shen family, Zhou shook his head: "I didn't see anyone from the Shen family. ”
As he spoke, thinking of what kind of marriage his sister-in-law had set for Brother Tao, and then thinking about Shen Jun's timid appearance, Zhou couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
I don't know what my sister-in-law thought about it at the beginning!
Fortunately, my sister-in-law has changed now, and I only hope that Brother Tao will have a good life in the future.
Wei Fu furrowed his brow slightly.
The invitation card of the Shen family, Wei Fu was personally sent by Manager Liu.
Manager Liu is not only the chief manager, he is also a person Jiang Heng trusts very much, on weekdays, when Manager Liu walks outside, even those court officials see him, and they are all extremely polite.
Let Manager Liu personally go to the Shen family to deliver the invitation, which can be seen that the Zhenguo Mansion attaches great importance to the future in-laws of the Shen family.
And......
On the same day, Manager Liu went to deliver the invitation, and the wife of the Shen family promised on the spot that she would definitely bring several children of the family to the banquet.
But now, it was already early noon, and no one from the Shen family had seen it.
Shen family, what does this mean?
Just when Wei Fu was thinking like this, a little maid hurriedly walked over, saluted Wei Fu, and said, "Madam, Mrs. Shen is here with a few girls. ”
The maid did not deliberately lower her voice when she replied, and Wei Fu was not far from the other ladies at this time, so the ladies who arrived first naturally heard this.
The Shen family?
Some of the ladies pouted quietly.
If it weren't for the fact that the Duchess of Zhenguo didn't know what was crazy, she actually set the girl of the Shen family for the prince of Zhenguo, and the Shen family would be unable to find it if it was thrown into the crowd, how could it be as beautiful as it is now?
"Tsk, this Shen family is the last one to arrive!" A younger lady couldn't help but sneer.
But as long as this kind of banquet is held, everyone will always abide by some unspoken rules that they know well, such as the higher the status, the later they arrive, in this case, the Shen family can actually arrive last, in the eyes of many people, this is the Shen family claims to be the in-laws of the Guogong Mansion, and they have become floating without waiting for Shen Jun and Tao Ge'er to get married.
And the other ladies, although they did not speak, their thoughts were clearly the same as the lady who spoke.
Wei Fu's heart moved slightly when she heard the maid's report.
According to her understanding of the Shen family, the Shen family is not such a complacent person, otherwise, it has been a few years since Brother Tao and Shen Jun's family affair was decided, and the Shen family has never been publicized because of this marriage in the past few years.
