Yan'er ran down the mountain carrying a bag of medicinal tea, and the tea seller immediately greeted her.
"Grandma, I'll put the medicine here for you today." Yan'er said, "If someone wants to go up the mountain to find our lady——"
The tea seller happily took the herbal tea and said, "——Just say that Miss Danzhu won't have a consultation today. There is herbal tea given by Taohuaguan here. You can take a pack away."
These ladies all come from wealthy families, and no one is too embarrassed to take it for nothing. It seems that no one is in a hurry to leave, so they will drink tea and eat fruits in the medicine shed, which means that there will be good business today.
"Ms. Danzhu is not asking for consultation today." She shook her head, "It's not okay to be lazy like this. I used to say there was no business, but now there are people coming, so I can't feel hard."
Yan'er said seriously: "No, no, our lady is busy with important things."
It's something important. The tea seller is a little confused and a little nervous. What's important about Miss Danzhu? Who is she going to sue to?
Chen Danzhu sat on the rock, holding a post in his hand and reading it.
"Miss, this is a post from the Chang family." A Tian said, "They say they are holding a lake party. Shall we go?"
"Go." Chen Danzhu said, "Of course I want to go."
She found the post sent by the Chang family and asked A Tian to send the reply in person. Wasn't it just for this banquet invitation post? The girl from the Chang family told Liu Wei that they wanted to hold a banquet for her, so she didn't invite her.
Miss Zhong, let her vent her anger.
The banquet was indeed held. It seems that the great aunt really dotes on Liu Wei. However, the great aunt seems to dislike Zhang Yao very much and is also very contemptuous of shopkeeper Liu. She should go find out what is going on with this family, so as not to
Zhang Yao came and was bullied.
"But, in that case, Miss Liu will know who you are." A Tian reminded.
Although the young lady's name is very loud, not everyone knows what she looks like. She has been to Huichun Hall for so long and never reported her name, and no one at Huichun Hall cares who she is -
But if he knew who she was, it would be impossible not to sell her medicine. I'm afraid he wouldn't have a kind attitude, and he wouldn't chat so much with the lady.
And this Miss Liu Wei, I have to stay away from this lady.
"I'm not afraid that she will know." Chen Danzhu said, "Now that I know her, she can't avoid her if she wants." He threw the post to A Tian and said, "Go ahead."
Hearing these vicious words about bullying men and women, it was so scary. Zhulin clicked his tongue twice in his heart, turned around and left first - it was him who had to do the sending back.
The concierge of the Chang family has been a little busy recently, with some familiar and unfamiliar people coming to visit. Some of them left after sending them name cards, while others were waiting to meet the gentlemen in the family who could talk and work.
Although not all visitors meet Mr. Chang, Mr. Chang has been very busy these days, especially those with whom he hardly interacts with each other.
Strange, why so many people suddenly came to visit?
Master Chang was confused, and so were the people who came to visit.
"Chang Da, just tell me, why did Miss Danzhu reply to you?" The three people sitting in Chang Da's room were not polite and asked straight to the point, "How did you make friends with Miss Danzhu? What did you give me?"
Mr. Chang Da smiled bitterly: "I really don't know. We haven't done anything. It's not as good as your going."
The three of them looked unbelieving.
"Old Chang, our two families have a good relationship based on our ancestors. You can't hide it like this." One person was moved with emotion.
One person understood the reason: "Master Chang, at this time, we old Wu gentry must work together, otherwise we will only be bullied in front of the powerful people in the court."
Mr. Chang couldn't laugh or cry. He repeatedly explained that it was true, and he guessed something. He was a little unbelievable: "No, Miss Danzhu didn't reply to you, right?"
These three noble families are all one level above the Chang family. To be blunt, this is the first time for these three gentlemen to visit the Chang family.
The expressions on the three people's faces were not very good, and they snorted, and when they were about to say something, a housekeeper hurried in from outside the door, holding a post in his hand, with a horrified look on his face: "Master, it's not good."
Now at this time, all the aristocratic families in Wudu couldn't help hearing these words. Mr. Chang's face couldn't help but change, and the three people sitting next to him were also a little wary and made a gesture of leaving immediately.
"What's wrong?" Master Chang asked.
The housekeeper handed over a post: "Miss Danzhu replied to the post and said that she would attend the old lady's lake tour banquet."
Mr. Chang was stunned for a moment. His mother was hosting a lake party, but it was just a girl's play. Only the relatives and friends who often came were invited - not everyone might come, so he didn't take it seriously.
No questions asked.
Why did Chen Danzhu come?
"On the door, I saw an invitation post from my family." The housekeeper stammered in explanation, "Because I just received a post from Miss Danzhu, so I sent it to her too."
If you give something as a gift, it's just a gift. The Chang family's principle is to follow the etiquette and it doesn't matter whether you come or not.
The He family in the city held a lotus banquet and sent a message to Miss Danzhu, but Miss Danzhu ignored it.
Who would have thought that Miss Danzhu would reply to their family saying that she would come.
"...I just sent it yesterday, and the reply arrived today."
Mr. Chang Da was stunned, not knowing what to say, so he reached out to pick it up - someone was faster than him, and a sitting guest reached out and snatched it away, and then the three of them gathered around to watch.
It is indeed Chen's Danzhu.
The three of them looked at Mr. Chang with a meaningful look: "You still say they are not familiar with each other and have no contact with each other -"
Mr. Chang couldn't explain clearly: "It's really not true. I don't even know what's going on."
"You don't need to tell me what's going on." The three people said, stretching out their hands, "Give me a copy of your family's Lake Tour Banquet post."
These three families rarely interact with the Chang family. For weddings and funerals, ordinary gifts may be given, but other banquets will not come, and small banquets for fun in the back house are not possible.
Now they actually take the initiative to ask for posts. Of course, Mr. Chang knows that they are not doing it for him, but because of Miss Danzhu. But as the head of the family, they have an intersection. Of course Mr. Chang doesn't mind making friends with these families and letting the housekeeper
Three posts were brought, and the three people took the posts and directly asked the Chang family housekeeper to register them. They would definitely come.
After sending these three people away, Mr. Chang went to find his mother with Chen Danzhu's post. Mrs. Chang was calm.
"Come just come." She said, "It's not that our family doesn't dare to entertain guests. After all, this is a little girl's family. She may have been bored in the mountains for too long. The city is notorious, so she can't go, so she comes to our countryside for a walk.
."
Master Chang responded, thinking that it was not that he did not dare to entertain, but that he did not dare not to entertain. Do they dare not to let Miss Danzhu come?
"Since Miss Danzhu is coming, so are the three families, so we can add more tables." Mr. Chang said, "Let my son do these things."
Mrs. Chang smiled and said: "No matter how big the problem is, I can still handle it."
But the next day, Mrs. Chang couldn't say this anymore. Replies and people came like a snowflake. Some of them had received replies to the post, and more people came to ask for it without receiving the post. Some people even sent it directly.
I would like to express my greetings and declare that I will come to visit you on the day of the Lake Tour Banquet——
Three days later, the Chang family's concierge was full of messages, and almost the entire Wudu family came.
The Chang family has never had a banquet of this scale since the beginning of their family history. Not only Mrs. Chang cannot handle it, but Mr. Chang cannot handle it now. This is a major event for the entire clan.
The entire eastern suburbs are busy, with cars and horses coming in and out for shopping, the lake is being cleaned, more pleasure boats are being pulled out, and homes are brightly lit day and night.
Nowadays, those who are free are these young ladies who have not left the court. Leisure is only relative. They are also busy preparing clothes and accessories, striving to shine in this unprecedented feast.
The busy ladies didn't care about playing together, and there were less noisy arguments. Liu Wei actually felt that this was the quietest day she had ever spent in the Chang family.
"I really didn't expect that the lake party that grandma originally hosted for you turned into such a big battle." A Yun leaned on the railing and overlooked the brightly lit eastern suburbs. "When the time comes, Weiwei, you will feel aggrieved.
.”
In such a big banquet, Liu Wei was no longer the protagonist. As the daughter of a relative, she had to take a back seat. Mrs. Chang, who doted on her no matter how much she doted on her, could not care to appease her.
