Chapter 195: Birthday Banquet, Sun Fu's Temptation
Sun Mansion is particularly lively today, although it is the birthday of Master Sun, but everyone knows that in fact, Master Sun seems to be not good, on the one hand, it is to use the excuse to rejoice, on the other hand, it is also to show everyone that the brand of Sun Mansion will not fall easily.
The table can be called extremely luxurious, and each dish is no less than dozens of taels of silver.
Du Wei sat on the seat, looking at the maids who served the food, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but sneer: This is the so-called, the last madness.
Most of the guests invited by the Sun Mansion were colleagues or partners who had business dealings on weekdays, but those people were also waiting with their ears pricked up to listen to all kinds of rumors about the Sun Mansion during the banquet.
First there was a fire, and then the goods ordered by the British king were burned to the ground, and they all wanted to see how the Sun Mansion would deal with this incident.
Mrs. Sun's eyes were slightly swollen, but she still accepted the birthday gift brought by everyone with a smile, and Sun Fu also responded in the men's banquet, although her face was a little worse, but her expression was still with the pride of the past.
"I heard that Sun Fu lost a lot of money this time......"
"It seems that Master Sun's deadline is coming, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to celebrate his birthday in advance."
"Hmph, I'm afraid that if I die, I won't be able to receive a birthday gift."
There was a faint whisper of the ladies behind him, Du Wei lowered her head and pretended to drink tea, but she listened carefully.
"If the Sun Mansion falls, it's just that the eldest lady of the Sun Mansion, Sun Yuechan, seems to have never been allowed to marry someone?"
"At the beginning, she was too high-minded and no one looked down on her, but now, it is others who look down on her, and it is really feng shui in turn."
The ladies spoke sharply, and Du Wei once again deeply realized that "words" are murderous steel knives, without blood and without traces.
Suddenly, several ladies quieted down, and Du Wei raised her head in surprise, only to see Sun Yuecian coming over.
Sun Yuecian took the initiative to salute several ladies, and they were all stunned for a while, and then smiled wryly and walked away quietly.
Glancing at the ladies who seemed to be running away, Sun Yuechan said to Du Wei: "Why doesn't Miss Du hide far away like them?" ”
Du Wei smiled faintly: "They are them, I am me, why should I hide?" ”
Sun Yuecian stared at her in confusion, "I know you must be very happy in your heart, and you can finally watch the jokes of our Sun Mansion." ”
The corners of Du Wei's lips flashed with disdain: "So what? What do you think in my heart is my own business, could it be that Miss Sun even has to take care of this matter? ”
I thought that Sun Yuecian would say something sarcastic again, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing her speak, Du Wei looked up at her, but saw Sun Yuechan holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand, frowning deeply, "Since I have hatred in my heart...... Why didn't you talk to them about it? ”
Du Wei chuckled: "Hate or not hate has its own reckoning, but it is not my style to say bad things about people behind my back." ”
Sun Yuecian pursed her lips tightly and was speechless for a while.
At this moment, a maid from the Sun Mansion came forward and said to Du Wei, "Mrs. Du, please come over." ”
Du Wei raised her eyes and swept the room, but did not find Mrs. Du, the maid explained: "Mrs. Du is talking with Mrs. Sun in the South Pavilion, and specially asked the slave maid to invite Miss to come over." ”
Du Wei nodded, got up and followed the maid with Canglan.
Sun Yuecian stood in place, looking coldly at Du Wei's departing back, and muttered to herself, "Why...... The person I hate the most, but the only one who won't speak ill of me behind my back? ”
Du Wei took Canglan and followed the maid of the Sun Mansion along the path in the garden, where the South Pavilion was Du Wei didn't know, but as she walked, the only thing she could be sure of was that the person leading the way in front of her definitely had a ghost in his heart.
They passed by a rockery, and suddenly, a black shadow came out from behind the rockery, and the maid who led the way in front saw it and screamed "ah".
Du Wei looked at it and saw a two-finger-thick, white and yellow snake crawling towards them.
Suddenly seeing this thing, Du Wei was also a little hairy in her heart, and suddenly Canglan said "Huh" and said, "Miss, don't be afraid, this is a vegetable snake, it is not poisonous." As she spoke, she crossed Du Wei to the front, reached out, and grabbed the snake's seven inches.
The snake's body curled up all at once, and its tail wrapped around Freesia's hand.
Seeing Du Wei's worried gaze, Canglan smiled: "When I used to live with my brother, I didn't have meat to eat, if I can catch such a one, I will be happy for several days." ”
As he spoke, he turned to look at the maid and said, "This can't run out of your kitchen, right?" You take it back. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the head of the snake opened its mouth wide, facing the maid's face.
The maid rolled her eyes and fainted without saying a word.
Canglan stepped forward and slapped the other party's face in confusion, "Hey? What happened to you? ”
Du Wei couldn't help but smile when she saw her pinching the live snake with one hand and patting the person's face with the other: "Forget it, even if you wake her up, she will faint again." ”
Only then did Canglan come to her senses, oh, and looked at the snake in her hand again. "Has Miss ever eaten snake soup? It's delicious. ”
Du Wei smiled helplessly, and was about to let Canglan release the snake, when she suddenly heard a slight sound behind her, and turned around suddenly, but saw a figure turn out from behind the rockery.
"Miss Du, have you been hurt?" Sun Fu was dressed in a dark green Wanfu Tuanzi brocade robe, staring at her face with an inquiring look in his eyes.
The corners of Du Wei's lips hooked up a chuckle, and a sarcastic brilliance flashed in her eyes: "Sun Gongzi came by coincidence, could it be that he knew that the kitchen ingredients had escaped, so he followed?" ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Sun Fu's face, the snake just now was indeed deliberately released by him, and he wanted to see Du Wei's reaction.
Her appearance was exactly the same as the dust girl Shi Niang who jumped into the river in his memory, and every time he saw her, he always felt a chill, especially when she smiled at him, as if there was a sharp blade hidden in that smile.
But when she turned to someone else, the strange feeling disappeared.
This uncomfortable feeling has been haunting him, so he hid here in advance and sent his henchmen to deceive Du Wei, but now, even he himself doesn't know how to deal with her.
Seeing that Du Wei was leaving, Sun Fu hurriedly said: "Miss Du, you don't know the road in the garden, let's let Sun lead the way, so as not to have another accident on the road." ”
He deliberately accentuated the last few words.
Du Wei stopped, turned his head and smiled, "Sun Gongzi is right, it's just ...... Who is this accident to blame...... It's still up to be discussed. ”
These words were gloomy, and Sun Fu's face suddenly stiffened.
The foot he wanted to step out stopped in mid-air, and he didn't receive it, nor did he fall, and for a while it seemed like he had been immobilized.
Du Wei suddenly smiled at him, but the brilliance in her eyes was like a thousand-year-old cold pool, "Sun Gongzi, just now you wanted to play the game of heroes saving beauty?" Or do you want to see if I'll be bitten to death by this snake? Or......" she lowered her voice, her back to Freesia and her snow-white teeth exposed, "or do you want to watch me eat it alive...... Eat it bite by bite? ”
Sun Fu only felt that his breath was stagnant, in front of him was Shi Niang's face, and in his ears was Shi Niang's voice, and in his mind, a voice kept echoing: She is here for revenge! She's here to ask for my life!
"The debt of the previous life, I will repay it in this life, okay?" Du Wei's lips twitched and said silently.
Although there was no sound, this seemed to be thunderous in Sun Fu's eyes, and it only coagulated the blood in his whole body.
