Chapter 1327: Chapter 1325: News
In the serene private room, Wufu held a cup of tea and sipped it. The top-grade Xinyang Maojian Tea was indeed different from ordinary tea leaves, with an elegant and fresh fragrance, a refreshing and mellow taste, and a lingering sweetness that leaves the mouth with a fragrant sensation.
"How is it?" Master Gui asked attentively.
Wufu smiled and said, "Not bad, a good cup of tea."
"Later, send a can to Changqing Residence." Master Gui instructed Ding Lai with a smile.
"Yes, Master."
Wufu raised her eyebrows, placed the teacup on the table, and stroked the cupâs hidden patterns with her fingers, saying, "Master Gui wouldnât just really invite me for tea, would you? Whatâs the good care?"
"What if I say I really just want to invite you for tea, and nothing else!" Master Gui said looking at her.
Wufu lowered her gaze slightly, "In that case, Iâll just assume Master Gui wants to flirt with me!"
Poof!
Master Gui almost choked to death on a sip of tea, pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, looked at Wufu, and laughed, "Wufu truly speaks astonishingly."
Wufu gave him a chuckle, turned her head, and looked out the window.
"The matter on the other side of the clubhouse is already settled. There are no good days in July, so it is scheduled to open on the first of August. Will you go?" Master Gui asked.
"This is external, Young Master Jun is the owner of the clubhouse, it doesnât matter if I go or not." Wufu said, "However, after this clubhouse opens, I estimate there will be some trouble!"
"Hmm?" Master Gui raised an eyebrow, looking willing to hear more details.
"Young Master Jun is ultimately a merchant son, and the Jun Family is now heavily suppressed. Iâm afraid some nobles and powerful people will set their eyes on this clubhouse!" Wufu looked at him and said, "Usually these places only have stable backing with a strong patron, right?"
Master Gui was no fool, he understood Wufuâs meaning, and said, "Donât worry, Jun Wenqi is not foolish, heâs already aware of it."
"Oh? Who?"
"Prince Xin."
Wufu raised an eyebrow, "Good fellow, quietly operating!"
Prince Xin is the head of the Imperial Clan and the current Emperor of Nanyueâs uncle. Even the Emperor has to concede to him.
"Just a silent investment." Master Gui picked up his tea and took a sip.
Wufu asked curiously, "Since he can connect with Prince Xin, how is he being suppressed so severely?"
"One reason the Emperor trusts this Imperial Uncle is because Prince Xinâs faction never participates in the Crown Princeâs contention and is the most loyal supporter of the Royalist Party." Master Gui said softly, "Jun Wenqi does not have direct ties with Prince Xin, but with Prince Xinâs grandson, Zhao Mingye."
Wufuâs curiosity awoke, she asked softly, "Is it brotherly affection or... heh heh, a beauty scheme?"
Zhao Mingye seems to be indifferent to gender.
"What you see on the surface isnât necessarily true!" Master Gui said with deep meaning.
Wufu narrowed her eyes slightly, is this referring to Zhao Mingye, blurring the lines?
"Donât worry about other things, he will handle it!" Master Gui said, "Nowadays, several businesses, the maritime transport has sent word that everything is smooth, and the clubhouse is about to open. Do you have any plans?"
"Master Gui has good care?"
"I heard that this yearâs Empress Dowagerâs birthday is coming, and Beiyan sent a delegation to Nanyue to celebrate." Master Gui looked intently at Wufuâs eyes.
Wufuâs heart skipped a beat, but she remained stoic on the surface, saying, "Master Guiâs source of information is indeed fast, yet there is not a hint of news in the city!"
Master Gui smiled, "Celebration is temporary, I heard, Beiyan intends to open the Northwest Trade Route with Nanyue."
Wufu was stunned for a moment and sat up slightly straighter, "Is this the reason Prince Weiâs family is also returning to celebrate the Empress Dowagerâs birthday?"
Master Guiâs eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, saying, "Wufu indeed is a smart person." And added, "If this trade route opens, Wufu has connections, donât forget to pull your brother along!"
Wufu looked at him.
"No one ever dislikes having more money, right?" Master Gui chuckled lightly.
Wufu said, "That is." And thought, would Ah Jiu be included in the delegation?
