Chapter 866: Chapter 865: Pretentious Fool
The Fan family’s Fifth Miss, whose formal na is Fan Shuning and nickna is Wuniang, is said to have been a very gentle and kind girl from a young age, so benevolent as to not even want to step on an ant. She is affectionate towards her siblings, greatly respects her elders, and treats servants very kindly, never looking at people with a different gaze due to status or class. Therefore, everyone in the Fan family, from top to bottom, calls her the kindest young lady.
And ever since the age of five, on the first and fifteenth of every month, Lady Wuniang has used her own na to bring her monthly money to the King Hall to distribute porridge. Even now, at fifteen, she has never missed a single day, always giving more or less to any beggar she sees.
Lady Wuniang’s reputation for kindness cos from this. It is said that not only is she compassionate, but also as extrely gentle and kind-hearted as Guanyin, with her lips always curved upwards and her gaze calm and gentle. Even if scolded, she does not get angry but watches quietly, making you feel ashad instead.
Soone who once saw her called her a reincarnation of Guanyin, with the heart of a Bodhisattva, a deity descending to save all beings. Thus, she was nad Lady of Good Sounds, and soone even painted a Guanyin image based on her beauty.
"Is there really soone in this world with such a good temperant?" Wufu listened, feeling that this Fan Wu was just a pretentious fool!
Ah Jiu sneered, "If the Fan family didn’t push this from behind the scenes, I wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death."
"I heard that Fan Wu is the Tenth Prince’s Wife-to-be!" Yuan Ye added, "The Fan family is determined to have another empress from their family!"
Wufu raised an eyebrow, looking at the grand and elegant carriage moving away, sighed, "So it’s the brand packaging effect!"
Ah Jiu, hearing this strange remark, glared at her.
...
Once the Fan family’s grand procession had gone past, Ah Jiu and his group entered the city as well. At the fork leading to the inner and outer sections of the city, Jin Yu ca to bid farewell.
"This journey has caused trouble for the Ninth Master because of my sister and , and thank you." Jin Yu respectfully saluted Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu said indifferently, "Young Master Jin is too polite; it was a mutually agreeable transaction."
"My aunt lives in the outer city’s Ancheng Street at Six Steps Alley. Her husband’s family na is Zheng, and I will temporarily reside there these days. If the Ninth Master has any orders, just send soone to inform ." Jin Yu said to Ah Jiu and his company.
Ah Jiu nodded, "If there’s anything, go to Cypress Lane, the house with the Pixiu statue at the door."
Being able to share addresses also indicated an intention to continue contacts.
"Very well, once everything is in order, I will visit again." Jin Yu cupped his hands in farewell, then nodded to Wufu, "Thank you, Wufu."
"We’re friends, no need to be so formal." Wufu waved her hand, smiling, "You go ahead with your business."
Only then did Jin Yu stand aside, looking at his sister. Jin Lan stepped forward, bowed her head slightly to the group as a gesture of thanks for the past days, unwillingly returning the Purple Jade to Wufu.
Watching the Jin siblings leave, Ah Jiu and the others went to the prepared residence for accommodation.
Following Ah Jiu into the residence, there were only a few servants present, among them a couple who were already in their fifties, and three or four maids doing nial tasks.
"Was this house prepared in advance?" Wufu noticed that the couple referred to Ah Jiu as Young Master Jiu.
Ah Jiu replied, "Outwardly, this is one of the Mo family’s properties; everything has a traceable trail. My staying here is no hindrance. And living in a house is more convenient than staying at an inn."
Wufu shrugged indifferently, "I’m going to bathe and rest; if there’s anything, just send soone to inform ."
Ah Jiu smiled and nodded.
Watching Wufu disappear, Ah Jiu then said to Yuan Ye, "Let’s speak in the study."
