Chapter 1062: Chapter 1060: Jin Yu Pays a Visit
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 some 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 werenât momentarily idle, he would have likely left a message and gone back.
"Ah, itâs 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 hadnât 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, "Itâs only been a few days, why the formalities?" Jin Yu smiled gently and said, "I was being rude, I should have come to visit sooner, but Iâve been quite busy with trivial matters lately and only just found some free time..."
"Look at you, explaining so nervously! Arenât we close friends bound by life and death?" Wufu winked mischievously.
Jin Yu was taken aback, then clasped his hands again: "Youâre right!" He looked at her complexion and said, "Wufuâs energy looks better and better."
Perhaps itâs an illusion, but the womanâs eyes seemed brighter. Even though she was smiling, there seemed to be a hidden sharpness and edge.
And her overall aura had become 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, "Iâll take that as a compliment from you! So, howâs your sister? Any better? Your cousin married, right? Howâs 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 auntâs 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, remembering 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, wonât they? She could gain some insights. I donât know exactly, but it seems theyâre attending some Famed Flower Convention? Theyâre preparing clothes and jewelry right now!"
Famed Flower Convention again, what a coincidence.
"Iâve heard of it too; itâs about selecting the most talented woman. Itâs attended by aristocratic ladies. When more women gather, thereâs 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 youâre of merchant 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: "Iâll 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 canât keep living in your auntâs house forever, can you? No matter how good she is to you, thereâs still a gap. If Jin Lan marries in the future, wouldnât it be better for you as her brother to see her off from your own home? By the way, I still donât know where your auntâs house is?"
