Chapter 98: Sun Mansion Banquet, Is It a Man or a Ghost?
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Sun's Mansion opened a hundred porridge banquets, and ordered a banquet to invite the owners of various cloth villages and dyeing workshops in Liangzhou City and their families.
Du Fu is naturally included.
Early in the morning, Du Wei followed the eldest lady out of the Du Mansion, because this time she went to the same businessman's mansion, and most of the guests were the family members of the merchants, so the second and third ladies followed.
The second young master Du Zixi and the eldest young master Du Yifan rode horses with their entourage and guarded around the carriage.
Du Wei wore a ready-to-wear dress produced by Youlan Pavilion, a blue and white stand-up collar jacket, a plain animal velvet vest, and a thousand-fold long skirt of the same color, and the blue and white carp playing in the water on the skirt was lifelike.
The third lady secretly glanced at Du Wei's wrist and saw that she was wearing a glass jade bracelet, the color was light and elegant, and with her elegant temperament, it was pleasing to the eye just by looking at it from a distance.
Entering the Sun Mansion, Du Wei accompanied the eldest lady all the way, and during the banquet, the ladies of each mansion talked and laughed with the daughters, compared to the banquet in the officialdom mansion, which was much more serious.
Du Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the atmosphere of such a banquet would not be too depressing, otherwise it would be really boring.
Looking around, she didn't see the lady and the twin sisters of the Zhou Mansion, Du Wei was not surprised, the Zhou Mansion was also a royal prince, and with the support of the British King, she would not come to participate in this kind of banquet between the merchants' mansions.
Du Wei followed the eldest lady through the crowd, and faintly heard someone around her talking: "That's the concubine of Du Mansion, I heard that she has broken off the marriage contract with the son of Taishou Mansion." ”
"Divorce? But what did she do? ”
Seeing Du Wei looking at them, the ladies pretended to look away, and waited for them to walk past and continue to discuss.
"I heard that on the day of the plum banquet, someone bumped into Han Qingshan, the son of Taishou Mansion, hugging the second lady of Du Mansion......"
Du Xue'e followed closely behind the eldest lady, her hands in her sleeves clutching the handkerchief, she never expected that she would also enjoy this rumor one day.
At the beginning, in order to let Taishoufu and Du Wei divorce, she let people spread rumors outside, trying to damage Du Wei's reputation, but she didn't expect that in the end, it was she who was trapped.
When Mrs. Sun saw Mrs. Du coming, her face showed a slight embarrassment.
Last time in front of the Taishou Mansion, Sun Yuecian wanted to beat Du Wei, but he didn't want to be whipped by the prince of Nanwang, although the other party was already merciful at that time, and the injury was not serious, but it was in front of everyone, and he almost lost face.
Mrs. Du is generous, regardless of her previous suspicions, she stepped forward to greet Mrs. Sun.
Sun Yuecian stood aside and looked at Du Wei, her face pale.
The second lady is familiar with Sun Yuecian on weekdays, and when she saw that the twin sisters of the Zhou Mansion did not come today, she felt that Du Wei was missing the honor guard by her side, so she gradually became bolder.
All the daughters gathered together, pretending to be elegant, but in fact, their eyes fell on the male guests opposite.
The eldest young master and the second young master of Du Mansion immediately attracted the attention of the ladies of various mansions.
The female dependents who came today are all daughters of the merchant family, and their style of action is naturally much bolder than that of the ladies of the official family.
Du Wei sat there looking at her eldest brother, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and want to laugh.
After such a while, he has been deliberately bumped by the woman five times, picked up the handkerchief that fell at his feet three times, and twice was the other party who lied about his feet, and used his hands to support Du Yifan's shoulders under the pretext of using his hands.
Sun Fu walked through the garden at this time, and caught a glimpse of Du Wei sitting outside the flower room.
That face...... Even if he didn't forget it in his dreams, especially the night before when his courtyard was haunted, he later spent a lot of money to quietly ask Zhang Daofu to bury it under the big tree in the courtyard, which stopped a lot.
He unconsciously slowed down, held his breath and came behind Du Wei, reaching out to see the shadow under her feet.
It is said that ghosts do not have shadows, if she is really a ghost......
Who knew that as soon as he stretched his head over, Du Wei turned his head sharply and showed a weird smile at Sun Fu.
Sun Fu was frightened a lot at this time, and even screamed "whooping".
Almost frightened the people in the room.
Mrs. Sun was the first to come back to her senses and said in surprise: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Sun Fu only felt a layer of sweat on his back, and turned his face to look at Du Wei again, but saw her innocent face, and her black grape-like eyes blinked.
"None...... Nothing. Sun Fu said embarrassedly, sank his mind, and came to Du Wei and said, "Under Sun Fu, dare to ask Miss Fang's name?" ”
Mrs. Du and Mrs. Sun were both stunned on the spot, not knowing what kind of medicine Sun Fu was selling in this gourd.
How could he not know who the woman in front of him was? It was not the first time that the Sun Mansion and the Du Mansion had dealt with each other.
Du Wei looked innocent, turned her head to look at the eldest lady, frowned slightly, as if she didn't like his unreasonable accosting.
Du Xue'e said: "What's wrong with Sun Gongzi, you forgot my eldest sister after only a few days of not seeing me?" This was said as if Du Wei often met with Sun Gongzi in private, and the people in the room suddenly looked sideways.
The eldest lady blushed, but now that so many people were watching, she was about to reprimand Du Xue'e and swallowed back.
Du Wei smiled lightly, "Yes, the second sister received the token of Sun Gongzi that day, and later it almost fell on my head." Saying that, he winked mischievously, "The second sister is not ashamed!" The tone was like a little joke between sisters, but to others, the amount of information in it was huge.
Among the people present, there were many masters of house fighting, and the people from all the provinces gathered here, and at this time, they all stared at each other, propped up their donkey ears, and refused to miss a word.
Du Xue'e's face turned pale in an instant, and she bit her lip for a long time before she couldn't hold back her tears.
Since she was slapped by her eldest brother that day, she hated Du Wei even more to death, and at this time, she couldn't wait to rush over and scratch her face.
Sun Fu is a merry person, he has never thought about this matter anywhere else, and naturally he doesn't mind everyone's eyes, his eyes stared at Du Wei's face without blinking, as if he wanted to see something from it.
In the end, even the eldest lady seemed to notice something, coughed lightly, and said to Du Wei: "Don't be confined here, your second brother is doing a poetry club with someone over there, and you can also have fun." ”
Du Wei knew that this was because the eldest lady was afraid that she would suffer, so she deliberately asked her to find her two brothers to protect her.
Sun Fu saw that Du Wei and the other ladies were out of the house and wanted to follow, but he was glared at fiercely by Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun only thinks that he is lustful, and Sun Fu looks like he can't give up, and anyone who sees it will have other ideas.
In fact, Sun Fu was just thinking about a Taoist talisman he hid in his sleeve, which he had spent a lot of money to ask for yesterday, and it was said that as long as he put it on the female ghost's abdomen, she could make her show her original form.
Sun Fu walked out of the room and took a deep breath, the Dao talisman in his sleeve was a little wrinkled by his hand, slightly damp with some sweat stains.
