By evening, the Duke of England indeed arrived on horseback with his servant.
The two families were on friendly terms, and the Duke of England was a frequent visitor to the Du Mansion. He merely thought it was an ordinary dinner.
Du Wei set up wine and dishes in the pavilion of the back garden, and the servant led the Duke of England in.
The Duke of England, around forty years old, although often in the military camp, exuded a scholarly elegance. He bore a five or six-tenths resemblance to Jiang Youzhi, especially those willow-leaf eyes, which were almost identical.
As the Duke of England entered the pavilion, he glanced at the dishes on the table, nodded, and smiled, "I was just thinking of eating some of Sister-in-law's handiwork. Is this spicy diced rabbit her specialty? Today, I'm truly in for a treat."
Du Wei, grinning, pulled him to sit down and first poured some wine.
The two drank while chatting about everything under the sun.
