After finalizing the business deal and teaching the rules of poker to Master Gui, Wufu played a couple of rounds before leaving Riches Gambling House. She took Xiao Qi along to buy him so clothes on the street and returned to the house on Cypress Lane, where she received news of a visitor.
Visitor, who?
Jin Yu had been served several cups of tea, and if he weren’t montarily idle, he would have likely left a ssage and gone back.
"Ah, it’s really you!" Wufu, having changed her outfit, entered the Floral Hall and saw Jin Yu sitting there.
Jin Yu turned his head and saw a woman wearing a pink and purple dress, her black hair adorned with a single pink and purple Peach Blossom Hairpin, walking over. Could it be Wufu, whom he hadn’t seen for several days?
"Miss Wufu." Jin Yu stood up, clasped his hands in respect.
Wufu waved her hand, not taking the seat of honor but instead sitting on the chair next to him, saying, "It’s only been a few days, why the formalities?" Jin Yu smiled gently and said, "I was being rude, I should have co to visit sooner, but I’ve been quite busy with trivial matters lately and only just found so free ti..."
"Look at you, explaining so nervously! Aren’t we close friends bound by life and death?" Wufu winked mischievously.
Jin Yu was taken aback, then clasped his hands again: "You’re right!" He looked at her complexion and said, "Wufu’s energy looks better and better."
Perhaps it’s an illusion, but the woman’s eyes seed brighter. Even though she was smiling, there seed to be a hidden sharpness and edge.
And her overall aura had beco increasingly mysterious, seemingly harmless but reminiscent of a napping Baozi.
How could he know, Wufu had undergone quite an ordeal in a secret realm, and those who have been tempered naturally appear different.
Wufu touched her face and said with a smile, "I’ll take that as a complint from you! So, how’s your sister? Any better? Your cousin married, right? How’s the new sister-in-law?"
Jin Yu laughed, "My cousin married last month, and the new sister-in-law is quite virtuous. My siblings and I feel quite comfortable in our aunt’s house. As for Jin Lan, after a month of rest, her health has improved. Our aunt plans to take her and our cousins out in a few days."
"Matchmaking?" Wufu asked inquisitively, rembering Jin Yu had sent his sister here specifically for her marriage.
Jin Yu, seeing the gossip in her eyes, laughed lightly and said, "Sort of; once she socializes with others, people will know about her, won’t they? She could gain so insights. I don’t know exactly, but it seems they’re attending so Fad Flower Convention? They’re preparing clothes and jewelry right now!"
Fad Flower Convention again, what a coincidence.
"I’ve heard of it too; it’s about selecting the most talented woman. It’s attended by aristocratic ladies. When more won gather, there’s bound to be plenty of drama, especially in Changan City, where people have eyes perched high on their foreheads. There are plenty of people comparing themselves with each other, and since you’re of rchant origin, you might not rank highly in their eyes. Be cautious and discreet."
Jin Yu listened and did not feel Wufu was mocking their lowly origins but rather giving them advice, gratefully standing to thank her: "I’ll definitely instruct my sister accordingly. Thank you!"
Wufu waved her hand dismissively, asking him to sit, then inquired, "Do you have any plans next? You can’t keep living in your aunt’s house forever, can you? No matter how good she is to you, there’s still a gap. If Jin Lan marries in the future, wouldn’t it be better for you as her brother to see her off from your own ho? By the way, I still don’t know where your aunt’s house is?"
