Chapter 100: The King of England Appears, Something Happens!
Everyone turned their heads at the same time, only to see King Feng Minghao standing proudly.
His eyes shone like moonlight, and Zhou's body was heroic, as if his bones were born with a different nobility.
The ladies present were all stunned for a while.
His Royal Highness...... It's actually here!
You must know that a banquet between the mansions of merchants like this is not to invite a noble person of the status of the King of England at all.
Although Sun Fu also invited the Zhou Mansion to post, it was just a courtesy exchange, and he didn't have much hope.
But what's going on with this scene now? Could it be that everyone's eyes are spent?
Everyone flashed to both sides, and the king of England went straight to the stone table, his eyes crossed the paper, and he suddenly smiled slightly, "That day I can improvise a song of smoke and sand in half the city, and Miss Du's poems must be good, and when I see it today, it ...... sure enough."
Everyone immediately looked at each other.
"Smoke and sand in the middle of the city? His Royal Highness the King of England is talking about the popular one in Liangzhou City recently? I don't know which son's son exclaimed.
Since the talent competition in the painting boat that day, I don't know who passed on the song "Bancheng Smoke and Sand Song" that Du Wei sang at that time, and it quickly became popular in Liangzhou City.
Now, when the King of England himself said that the song and lyrics were actually composed by the eldest lady of Du Mansion, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.
Those who originally scoffed at Du Wei's identity all seemed to have been struck by lightning, and even many rich sons were ready to move on the spot and had the idea of befriending this Du Mansion's concubine.
A woman who can be appreciated by the king of England, even if she can't pick a few in Liangzhou City, if she can marry a woman like her, she will definitely bring benefits to their respective mansions.
Du Yifan and Du Zixi were also shocked, but Du Wei could see that the eldest brother was sincerely happy for her after being surprised, but the second brother's smiling eyes contained a touch of indescribable and inexplicable brilliance.
She subconsciously felt that this person was extremely dangerous.
"Is that song really composed by Du Wei?" Sun Yuecian still looked incredulous, she had also heard that song, and she praised it at the time, but she didn't expect that the owner of this song was the Miss Du in front of her.
"Does this king look like a liar?" The King seemed to scoff at this, and handed the poem Du Wei had just written to the attendants beside him, "Put it away!" ”
Everyone watched the attendant put away Du Wei's poems, and then they reacted, it turned out that the British king wanted to keep the poems for himself.
At that moment, there were several poet-like sons who regretted it, so they could only grab the pen and paper, re-copy the poem with the memory just now, and carefully put it in their sleeves.
Du Xue'e's face can be said to be extremely exciting, red for a while and white for a while, but the third lady Du Lingyan still lowered her head, as if none of the things in front of her had anything to do with her.
But if someone could get closer and take a closer look, they could faintly see a gloating smile in her eyes.
"Miss Du, can you take a step to speak?" The King of England did not hesitate to look at the people around him.
Du Wei's heart suddenly sounded an alarm bell, and she took half a step back to give a salute, "Your Highness has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
The King of England smiled slightly, his eyes slightly hot, "Is Miss Du afraid that this king will not succeed?" ”
Du Wei's attitude was respectful and slightly detached, "The people think that His Royal Highness is acting frankly, and there must be nothing to avoid." ”
Why didn't she go with him, talk alone? What are you kidding, there are eyes everywhere in a place like Sun's Mansion, if she really goes with her, maybe what kind of gossip will come out in the future.
The British king is famous, and those people will not dare to say that he is not, but she is miserable, just those sour and jealous ladies are enough for her to eat a pot, so she doesn't ask for trouble.
They were talking in the warm pavilion, Sun Fu stood in the garden, his eyes swept over Du Wei as if he were nothing, beckoned a maid over, leaned over and said something in her ear, the maid nodded, looked at Du Wei, and then left in a hurry.
When the old man of the Sun Mansion heard that the king of England had arrived, he hurriedly dragged his sick body out to meet him.
Sun Fu was by his father's side, but his expression was in a trance, and he was not as enthusiastic as his father.
Master Sun's plan is very simple, although they are imperial merchants, if the new goods in the store cannot be appreciated by the nobles in the palace, then sooner or later there will be a danger of being replaced by others.
Although there are also forces in the palace behind them that can be honored guards, but the palace is changing rapidly, today you are powerful, tomorrow I will be favored, whether this honor guard can be relied on is still unknown.
Therefore, Master Sun wanted to curry favor with the King of England, and at the same time wanted to rebuild the old friendship with Du Mansion, and the goods of Youlan Pavilion had become popular in Liangzhou City, but they could only stare at Du Mansion to earn a lot of silver, but it had nothing to do with them.
Master Sun was so angry every time he thought of it, if it weren't for Sun Fu turning away Qin Bei, they would have made a lot of money today, so why bother to whisper to the people of Du Mansion.
Everyone entered the table, and the King looked indifferent, ignoring Master Sun's compliments, but Master Sun was unaware of it, desperately trying to please as if he was desperately flattering, and finally saw that all the other people sitting around him were chilled behind their backs.
The British King's expression was slightly abrupt, and everyone could see that he was just temporarily perfunctory to Master Sun, but no one present could guess why the British King passed the mansion today.
For a while, the atmosphere in the banquet became colder, and in the end, everyone only bowed their heads and drank, and no one dared to look up at the king.
Du Wei slowly sandwiched the dishes in front of her, but she didn't eat a bite for a long time, Sun Mansion is no less than Longtan Tiger's Den for her, so she is extra careful about her own dish.
Du Xue'e also looked absent-minded, her eyes were looking around, Du Wei had observed her for a long time and didn't know what the hell she had in mind, so she could only be vigilant.
Suddenly, a low exclamation came from behind her: "Oops! ”
When I turned my head, I saw a maid from the Sun Mansion hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's all the slave's fault, I accidentally spilled the wine on you, and the slave and maid will serve you to change your clothes." ”
Du Xue'e saw that there was movement here, and she and the third lady raised their eyes together.
Meow, I was waiting for my sister here! The villain in Du Wei's heart sneered.
"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way." Du Wei stood up expressionlessly.
Du Yifan, Du Zixi, Sun Fu, and the King of England in the opposite men's seat all looked over, Du Wei calmly walked through the banquet, only turned back when she left, and glanced at her eldest brother meaningfully.
This can only be regarded as a small episode during the banquet, Sun Fu called the singer, and with the song and dance, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly eased a lot.
Du Yifan was holding a wine glass in his hand, but his eyes always flickered over Du Wei's expression when he left, and that glance was ...... As if trying to say something to him.
After about half a cup of tea, Du Yifan saw that Du Xue'e couldn't bear it, so he pulled the third sister to get up and leave the table, and after a while, Sun Fu on the other side also suddenly left the table.
An ominous feeling suddenly hit his heart, and Du Yifan stood up suddenly.
But at this time, the third lady Du Lingyan suddenly ran in from outside, leaned into Mrs. Du's ear and said, "Mother, something happened to the eldest sister!" ”
