A few days later, it was the day when Du Fu went to Tao Fu to be hired.

Du Wei went to Du's mansion early in the morning to help, saying that she was helping, but she was just sitting there with Mrs. Du, watching the people carry things and pack them one by one.

Du Wei looked at the jade antiques, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, as well as clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as jewelry and other things.

"Sixty lifts in total." Mrs. Du said, "I was thinking of more, but as soon as I think of the previous Tao Mansion and their retreat, my heart is ......."

"Sixty is a lot." Du Wei comforted, "The extra things will be left to the eldest brother after the marriage, and they will be the same, so that the Tao Mansion will take advantage of us." ”

Mrs. Du was amused by her, "You girl is clever." ”

The things in the courtyard are packed up and stopped, and there are people who come in and carry the things out, some of them are loaded into the carriage, most of them are carried by people, the big red colored silk is tied to the box, lined up outside the house, beaming, attracting a lot of people who look at the excitement to stop and watch.

When she was about to go out, Mrs. Du suddenly pulled Du Wei aside and said in a low voice, "If you are hired today, you won't show up in Tao Mansion." ”

"Why?" Du Wei was a little surprised, this marriage was originally decided by the prince, and if the prince didn't come, she would naturally have to come forward.

Mrs. Du's face was gloomy, "Originally, my mother didn't want to say it, but I was afraid that the prince would be displeased if she found out......"

"What the hell is going on?" Du Wei didn't say anything, but she had already vaguely guessed a few points in her heart.

"Since that day, Mrs. Tao asked you to go to Wanfu Temple for incense, and when you came back, there were rumors on the street, saying that someone saw you in Wanfu Temple that day, and when Mrs. Tao was away, you had a private meeting with a man in the temple......

Before Mrs. Du's words fell, Du Wei couldn't help laughing, which startled Mrs. Du.

"My mother is also afraid that if you go today, once you hear any rumors on the road, you will be sad...... How can my mother doubt you, there must be someone who doesn't have long eyes, and I can't see you! ”

"Mother is right." Du Wei couldn't help laughing, "It's someone who can't see me." ”

Mrs. Du cautiously asked, "The prince doesn't know about this, right?" ”

Du Wei shook her head, "Not only Shizi, but even I just heard about it, so I think it's funny." ”

Mrs. Du was anxious, "Just your girl's heart, do you know, your eldest brother and I are about to die when we hear about those things outside, and I don't dare to tell you ......"

"Mother doesn't have to worry, the prince sent the captain of the guard to follow me on the day of Shangxiang, no matter how ugly what is said outside, as long as the prince believes me, are you afraid that they will turn out of the sky?"

Mrs. Du secretly pondered, feeling that what Du Wei said was reasonable, when was the prince of Nanwang afraid of rumors, although she was worried that it would hurt Du Wei's reputation and cause the prince to be displeased, but remembering that night on a rainy night, the prince didn't care about other people's eyes, and carried Du Wei back, she couldn't help but smile.

"What you said is that as long as the son of the world believes in you, what else is there to worry about."

The two of them laughed and walked out of the mansion, Du Yifan prepared the carriage outside, and then stepped forward to help Mrs. Du down the steps.

"Wei'er is going with you too?" Du Yifan was stunned, he looked at Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du said with a smile, "My mother has already told Wei'er just now, this girl doesn't look like a daughter, but she is very compatible with the son, let's behave rightly, sit upright, and be afraid of any gossip." ”

Hearing this, and looking at the calm look on Du Wei's face, Du Yifan smiled resignedly, "I don't want my sister to see it more thoroughly than me, as a big brother." ”

The carriage drove to Taofu, along the way, blowing and blowing, the people who watched the excitement on the side of the road gathered a lot, and there were many naughty children who followed the hired team, jumping and following behind.

Du Wei instructed Linglong to sprinkle small candy out of the car window, and those children were even more happy when they got delicious food, and when the carriage came to the door of Taofu, the people who gathered to watch the excitement almost blocked the door of the mansion.

Tao Mansion came out to the people, and it was not easy to clear the crowd, and Governor Tao saw such a pompous dowry procession, and he didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of pride.

Sixty dowry, although not as many as he imagined, he believed that the things in it were absolutely valuable.

Since the prosperity of the Sun Mansion collapsed, the entire Liangzhou City is now the dominant family of Hengfeng Xing, and with the name of the imperial businessman, Du Mansion is low-key and has a good reputation......

Governor Tao put his hands behind his back, proudly watching the box with red silk being carried into the mansion, and suddenly felt that this family business was still good.

After all the dowry gifts were carried into Tao's mansion, Mrs. Tao personally took Mrs. Du and Du Wei to the back garden, and Governor Tao took Du Yifan to talk in the front hall to discuss the matter of welcoming relatives.

Du Fu planned to advance the date of the wedding, the sooner the better, although Governor Tao felt a little hasty, but remembered the rich dowry just now, and he married out just a concubine, so he felt that it was harmless, so he nodded, and the two discussed the date in detail.

In the back garden, Mrs. Tao beckoned Mrs. Du and Du Wei to go to the garden, and the table was full of all kinds of snacks and seasonal fruits.

Everyone greeted each other for a while, and suddenly saw Tao Miaoxian walking from the path in the garden, and when she saw Du Wei, she stepped forward enthusiastically and saluted: "I have seen the princess." ”

Du Wei nodded calmly, sat there without even moving, and did not return half of the salute.

In her capacity, returning the gift is to give the other party, and not moving is the duty.

"This is the daughter of General Li, Li Xijun, she just came to the house to play...... Tao Miaoxian turned sideways, and Du Wei found that behind her stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, wearing a white gauze skirt and a double Luo bun on her head, childish and childish.

Although Li Xijun is not stunning, he has a boyish heroic spirit, and his big eyes look at Du Wei back and forth, and he is not afraid of the other party's noble status at all.

"You are the princess of the Southern Prince?" Li Xijun's voice was crisp, and the child's voice did not retreat.

Du Wei looked at her calmly, "Exactly." ”

Li Xijun showed a look of sudden realization, "It turns out that the person who has been rumored to have a private meeting with a man in Wanfu Temple in the past few days is you......"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Du's face suddenly froze.

Tao Miaoxian pulled Li Xijun over and blocked her behind her, as if she was afraid that Du Wei would be angry and drag Li Xijun out directly and cut her.

"The princess is angry, the fine gentleman is young, and her mouth is open, and I hope the princess will not be surprised." Tao Miaoxian's face was slightly pale, as if her whole body was trembling, and she tightly pulled Li Xijun's hand behind her.

Du Wei smiled faintly, picked up a green grape from the plate on the table, and said in surprise: "Why is Miss Tao so nervous, it's just a child's joke, how can I take it to heart." ”

Tao Miaoxian looked up at Du Wei in disbelief, only to see that she ate the grapes with a smile, her dark eyes were crooked, and she smiled as brightly as she could.

Only Linglong and Yu'er, who were standing behind Du Wei, knew that if their master smiled like this at outsiders, there was a chance that she would hold a grudge against each other.

"Miss Li, don't be restrained, come and sit here." Du Wei beckoned to Li Xijun kindly.

Li Xijun blinked his big eyes, looked at Tao Miaoxian, and then looked at Du Wei, and finally sat down.

"My favorite thing to listen to is stories." Du Wei smiled, her back was like a wolf grandmother, "Miss Li, can you tell me the stories you heard?" ”
