For several days, the Du Mansion was very busy, preparing the bride price and other things for the marriage of the eldest young master Du Yifan.
Three days ago, Du Fu had already sent someone to Tao Mansion to hand over the Southern Wang's prince's greeting post, if everything went well, Du Yifan's marriage would be decided.
Mrs. Du was afraid that it would change after a long time, so she prepared the new house in a row.
On this morning, the genius was bright, and the wind and twilight took Du Yifan out of the house together.
"I heard that the prince took the eldest young master to hunt geese outside the city." Linglong said while waiting for Du Wei to wash.
"Can you hunt geese this season?" Du Wei was a little worried.
The first of the six ceremonies is Nacai, there must be geese, ordinary people sometimes use wood carved geese, because not everyone can hunt geese, so most people are just to walk around the form of a mouthful, even if it is a wood carved geese, no one will say anything.
"Miss, don't you know that when the prince saw the pair of wood-carved geese yesterday, his face turned dark." Linglong said with a smile, "So I forcibly dragged the eldest young master out of the city early this morning." ”
Du Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, how could he tolerate taking a pair of woodcarved geese to Taofu Nacai with his twilight temperament, and even when he wanted to marry him to the Zhenguo Mansion, he brought wild geese that he shot and hunted with his own hands.
"Miss, don't worry, the prince will definitely help the eldest young master hunt geese."
The other maids in the house also talked and laughed, and they were always a little scared when the wind was cold, so they talked more.
I had just had breakfast, and a little guy came in a hurry outside, sweating profusely and looking anxious.
"The princess, there are a few merchants in Hengfeng Xing, they said that the purchased fabrics are fake, and the eldest young master and the old man are not in the house, and the small one is looking for the third young master, but he can't make up his mind, so the little one has to come to find the princess."
Du Wei couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, "What kind of fabrics are they, how much did they buy, did you bring some samples?" ”
When Du Wei began to ask, the little girl could still answer fluently, but as soon as her questions became more and more detailed, the man stammered, and after a while, his face was already dripping with hot sweat.
Du Wei was dissatisfied: "Where are you doing things?" Why don't you know this, and you don't know that? ”
The little guy said nervously, "The little one has only been in Hengfeng Xing for a short time, and he is not very familiar with the things in the store. ”
Du Wei pursed her lips, and a fine light flashed in her dark eyes.
Several of the shopkeepers of Hengfeng Bank are old shopkeepers with more than 20 years of experience, how could they send such a small guy to report to her.
"What did the third young master say over there?" Du Wei calmed down at this time and asked unhurriedly.
"The third young master has already been to the store, but he didn't find any problems, and that batch of goods doesn't look fake...... Maybe it's those merchants who want to blackmail. ”
"So no one in the store can tell if the fabric is real or fake?" Du Wei stared at the little guy intently.
"Yes...... So the third young master had no choice but to send someone to ask the princess for an idea. The little girl just lowered her head, and didn't dare to look her eyes at all.
"But you didn't bring a cloth sample, and you can't tell the whole story, how can I tell the truth from the fake?"
"The third young master has sent a small one to prepare a carriage and invite the princess to go to Hengfeng for a trip."
"Oh?" Du Wei suddenly laughed, her eyes crooked, like a pair of crescent moons.
Linglong and Yu Ling, who were standing on the side, noticed something strange, they had been with the princess for a long time, and they were already familiar with her temperament and habits.
Du Wei has always been cheerful in doing things, but the laughter just now made them a little creepy.
"In that case, I'll go with you." Du Wei said lightly, then turned to Linglong and said, "Change clothes." ”
"Miss?" Seeing that the little guy had retreated to the door, Linglong lowered her voice.
"You found out too?" Du Wei chuckled dismissively.
"There's got to be a fake." Linglong said.
"I'm afraid that it's people, not goods." Du Wei put a golden hairpin on her head in front of the mirror.
"In that case, why is Miss still going?" Yu'er said uneasily.
"If I don't go, some people are afraid that they will not be willing, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves worrying, anyway, sooner or later something will happen, it is better to plan it." Du Wei put on her makeup, and finally looked at her outfit again, and then stood up, "You two don't follow." ”
"Miss!"
"How can this be...... If the young lady is in danger, how can the slave and maid explain to the prince! ”
Du Wei smiled faintly, "I don't let you follow because you have more important things to do." ”
Linglong and Yu'er were stunned at the same time, and continued to say in unison: "Miss, please command." ”
Du Wei took a carriage and was escorted out of the Du Mansion by dozens of family members.
Raising the curtain, Du Wei secretly glanced outside the curtain, almost all of those family members were unfamiliar faces, and she could only recognize that several of them had served by the third young master's side.
The carriage had just crossed the intersection when the carriage suddenly stalled, and then stopped.
Du Wei sat quietly in the carriage and didn't say a word.
The voice of the driver came from outside: "The wheel is broken, please stay for a while." ”
Du Wei only let out a faint "um", tossed by them.
After a while, the carriage turned, as if driving into a remote street corner.
Du Wei closed her eyes and listened to the sound of sparkling wheels outside the window, and the corners of her lips provoked a disdainful smile.
Hengfeng Hong's shop was originally located in a lively and prosperous area of the city, but now, there is no noise outside the window, and gradually, even the hawkers' cries are gone.
I don't know how long later, the carriage stopped, and a rough male voice came from outside.
"Miss Du Fu, please get out of the car."
Du Wei opened her eyes, straightened her dress, and directly picked up the curtain.
Outside the carriage, there was no Hengfeng Xing at all, but stopped in a secluded old house.
Du Wei looked around, but saw that the dilapidated yard was full of miscellaneous household goods, the corner of one side was full of wood and firewood, the three main houses were dilapidated, and half of the roof was without tiles and overgrown with wild grass.
Around the carriage, there stood a dozen or so men dressed as ruffians, all staring at her with good intentions.
Du Wei's face remained unchanged, and she lifted the corner of her skirt and got out of the carriage.
"It's such a big formation, it's rare for Boss Yan to greet it in person." She smiled faintly and turned to the first man.
The man was tall and fierce-looking, with a deep scar on the left cheek and thick black eyebrows, and when he heard this, his face couldn't help but show surprise.
"Do you recognize me?" That person was the gangster of Liangzhou City, known as the invincible Tai Sui Yantian.
"Boss Yan is quite famous, why don't I know him?" Du Wei chuckled silently.
Yan Tian looked her up and down, "That is the case, I think you also know the rules of our industry, master, I collect money to do things, and now that someone has bought your life, I will naturally not let you go because you are beautiful." ”
Du Wei bowed her head slightly, "Presumably, Boss Yan just received the deposit, and the rest of the silver hasn't arrived yet, right?" ”
Yan Tian looked at her again in surprise: "You know a lot. Looking at the woman in front of him, suddenly, a sense of foreboding appeared in his heart.
They had done this kind of kidnapping of a rich lady before, but he had never met such a calm and fearless woman.
She stood there, not so much abducted by them, but more like she had come to visit the mountains and rivers.
