Chapter 1154: Chapter 1152: You Unlucky Child
Just two days after Changping returned, the date for the Lotus Flower Banquet at Jingkang Princeās Mansion was sent over by a maid. It was set for the sixth of June. After Wufu looked it over, she simply put it aside. She didnāt feel particularly delighted, nor was she very excited, as if it were just an ordinary invitation. Jadeite and Mo Lan didnāt have any special feelings about it either. However, Ma Nao took it very seriously and started preparing Wufuās clothing and jewelry early, knowing that it was the Princeās Mansion and this was a formal banquet. The attire must not be lacking in etiquette.
As June approached, the sword injury on Wufuās shoulder and back had greatly improved, and she could finally visit the workshop at the Hundred Treasures Silver Building.
The workshop of the Hundred Treasures Silver Building was located in Liuyi Alley in the West City. By the time Wufu arrived, Third Old Master Wen had already sent a personal servant to wait there.
"Iāve met the young lady," the servant, named Shi Xiang, who was quite clever, greeted her.
Wufu smiled and said, "Thank you for waiting here." Then she turned to Xiao Qi by her side and said, "How about you wait for me here with Brother Shi?"
Since she was injured, Xiao Qi had been sticking to her a lot, and now whenever she went out, he would definitely follow.
Xiao Qi was a bit reluctant, so Wufu said, "Itās messy inside, not a good place to wander around. You stay with your brother. Iāve got Sister Lan and others on my side."
Xiao Qi glanced at the cool-faced Mo Lan and Jadeite. In that mansion, he learned everything he could, whoever had time to teach him, he would learn from them. Mo Lan also taught him martial arts skills and knew her martial arts were very good, so he nodded, hopped onto the shaft, and crouched there.
Shi Xiang curiously looked at this child, Xiao Qi. Calling him a child, but he was quite tall, making it hard to tell how old he was.
Xiao Qi himself didnāt know his exact age, but Mei Er had felt his bones and said he was already ten. Since he came to Wufuās side, heās been getting all sorts of nutritious soups, and his figure grew rapidly. Wufu marked the day they found him as his birthday.
Noticing Shi Xiangās gaze, Xiao Qi looked over with cold eyes, seemingly filled with intense killing intent, as if he wanted to tear him apart, making Shi Xiangās body stiffen.
"Brother Shi Xiang, letās go then," Wufu waved her hand in front of Shi Xiang.
Shi Xiangās spirit returned, he timidly glanced at Xiao Qi, suppressed his panicked heart, and led Wufu through the door.
Mei Shi watched them enter the door, then drove the carriage aside, put an arm around Xiao Qiās shoulder, and said, "You really scared that kid!"
Xiao Qi didnāt respond, just irritably brushed his hand away.
Mei Shi didnāt mind and continued chatting on his own, Xiao Qi listened expressionlessly, thinking, what a chatterbox.
Inside the workshop, when Third Old Master Wen saw Wufu, he smiled and approached, saying, "Miss Wufu, Iāve been longing for your visit. Is your health greatly improved?"
Wufu curtsied and said with a smile, "Third Old Master Wen is so thoughtful, Iām much better now."
"It was indeed an unforeseen misfortune. Who wouldāve thought youād encounter such an incident just having a meal!" Third Old Master Wen looked at her with an expression saying, you poor unlucky child.
Wufu replied, "If itās meant to be, it canāt be avoided. It was an inevitable disaster in my life, no escaping it. Letās not talk about it, just pretend I forgot to offer incense to the Bodhisattva before going out."
"You have a good disposition. Very well then, donāt speak of it. Come, letās have a look at our workshop," Third Old Master Wen waved his hand, signaling a steward to come over, who let his eyes fall on Wufu.
"This is Steward Wen of the workshop," Third Old Master Wen introduced them, "Wen Feng, this is Miss Wufu I often mention."
Wufu and he exchanged greetings, and the group started touring the workshop.
