The two young ladies were invited into the Marquis' Mansion. Ye Wanqing pulled Fu Yi aside and explained to him the relationship between Shen Xu and Miss Lin.
"I'm sorry, I bought those things before and used them secretly. Every time A Rao found out, I made an excuse and said I gave them to her. But A Rao really did send those things to her.
I thought she was far away in the northwest and wouldn't come to the capital, but I didn't expect her to come at this time."
Ye Wanqing explained to Fu Yi embarrassedly that she had actually only sent cosmetics, pearls and hairpins to Miss Lin two or three times.
The foundation of friendship was built on the basis of Shen Xu.
Since Shunning Escort Agency's ships were all large cargo ships, they mostly carried basic daily necessities, mainly building materials, wood, leather and agricultural products.
Xiling City was built on a steep cliff, so transportation within the city was not convenient, and trade items were mainly basic materials such as leather and wood.
The two young ladies found it difficult to buy the exquisite cosmetics and jewelry sold in high-end luxury stores in the Northwest, so they found them extremely rare.
In addition, everyone has the impression that the Northwest is a barren land. Apart from luxury goods such as snow swallows and rare animal furs, there is basically nothing that can attract the nobles in the capital.
Few of the noble ladies in the capital looked down upon the nobles stationed in the northwest and western wilderness.
What's more, he even mocked Lin Fuxue at the banquet, saying that she was a princess from the mountains, which made her so angry that she didn't come to the capital for several years.
What they didn't know was that Lin Fuxue was the only daughter of the Lord of Xiling City, a little princess who grew up eating bird's nests and wearing mink coats.
Shen Xu diligently sent luxury goods to the northwest and wrote letters to Miss Lin, earning Miss Lin's favor.
Now, Miss Lin has come with her good friend from the Northwest to meet her pen pal in person.
"Xu'er, you asked me to receive Miss Lin for you. What if she says something and I can't answer it, then I'll be exposed." Fu Yi retreated slightly. He had no resistance to beautiful women, especially the enthusiastic and beautiful Miss Lin.
She kept pulling him to call Ah Xu brother, saying so many intimate words, what if he knew the truth...
How can you make a beautiful woman feel embarrassed?
"Brother, please, she won't believe anything I say in my current condition. Besides, my leg is injured, so I can't go shopping with them. Please do it for them." Ye Wanqing was actually very worried about Liu Zhang's condition and wanted to find out about it quickly.
If Liu Zhang was really stabbed to death by Ye Fan, His Majesty would definitely order a thorough investigation. In this case, no one would be able to protect the General's Mansion.
Fu Yi said in embarrassment: "Xu'er, I'm not familiar with them, so there shouldn't be anything to talk about. Besides, I'm not very familiar with the capital."
"Brother, it's just right that the three of you can go around the capital as a group. Please, please."
Fu Yi said helplessly, "Well, then, you should stay home and recover."
…
Lin Fuxue excitedly took Xie Ning'er to visit the large garden of the Marquis' Mansion. "I told you, Brother Axu's house is very luxurious and beautiful. I left in such a hurry last time that I didn't really take a closer look. It would take more than a day to explore his garden."
Xie Ning'er stared at every sight and object in the mansion, her eyes full of admiration, but with a look of worry on her face. "But we sneaked into the capital, is that okay?"
"Don't worry, I've already written to my second uncle. He's the easiest to talk to and will cover for us."
"Yeah." Xie Ning'er smiled sweetly. She moved closer to Lin Fuxue and whispered, "I think Brother Xu is very handsome. I like him a little bit."
Lin Fuxue said with a little excitement: "Me too, I think he is much more handsome than your sailor who can spear fish with a harpoon."
"Uh... I think the sailor is more handsome."
"Hey, what's your taste? It's obviously Brother Axu who is more handsome and elegant. He is also very thoughtful and puts a lot of effort into choosing gifts."
Xie Ning'er covered her face shyly and said, "But the sailor's way of catching fish is really cool, and I like the ones that are a bit muscular."
"Oh, you might as well just say you like my fifth uncle. My fifth uncle is as strong as a bull."
Xie Ning'er shook her head and said with a smile, "No, no, your fifth uncle is too old, and his temper is like a bull. I have no words for him."
Lin Fuxue sighed and said, "What should I do? My fifth uncle will be 28 after the New Year, and he has met all the girls of marriageable age in Xiling City."
"Don't worry too much, Uncle Wu will always meet his destined person."
"It's too difficult... What's wrong with Brother Axu? He has left us here for such a long time and he hasn't come out yet." Lin Fuxue was tired of walking around the garden. She sat on the stone bench in the garden and looked towards the garden gate.
Fu Yi walked over quickly and said, "I'm sorry, my sister's leg was injured. I asked the doctor in the mansion to see her, which delayed us for a while. I'm sorry to have kept you two young ladies waiting."
Lin Fuxue whispered, "Ah, that's your sister. I was wondering why they looked a bit alike. But I had never seen her before when I came here."
Fu Yi was about to reply that it was actually her he had seen before, but Lin Fuxue suddenly said, "Oh, I see. She had been in the southern border before, right? Did she come to the capital to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony this time?"
"Uh... um." Fu Yi lowered his eyes and looked at her, who was looking up at her clear peach blossom eyes and talking to him with a smile.
"Oh, yes, is your sister married? My fifth uncle is still unmarried. Do you want to find a chance to meet her?"
Xie Ning'er is the second daughter of the head of the Northwest Shipping family. Half of the transportation industry in the northwest of Yanyang Country belongs to the Xie family, and they are very famous in the local area.
However, Miss Xie still seemed a little timid when it came to dealing with the nobles in the capital. She gently tugged at Lin Fuxue's collar and whispered, "Brother Axu is only eighteen years old. How old can his sister be? She's too far behind Fifth Uncle in age."
"Hush, what if we meet each other?"
Fu Yi frowned slightly, listening to the two girls' whispers. Did this Miss Lin come here to promote her uncle?
He changed the subject and said, "Oh, I sent someone to notify Minister Jiang to come to the mansion, and then Miss Xie's arm can be repaired."
Lin Fuxue asked suspiciously, "Huh? Who is Minister Jiang?"
Fu Yi was stunned and coughed lightly: "Oh, Jiang Yu...brother, um, Jiang Yu's younger brother."
Xie Ning'er was a little surprised and slightly disappointed. "Hey, Brother Xu, can't you repair it? But, didn't you draw the design drawings for this robotic arm?"
Fu Yi looked confused. What? His Xu'er could make this kind of thing?
Wouldn’t that be exposed soon?
"By the way, A-brother, why do you always wear a mask? Aren't you hot and stuffy?
Is your face injured? I didn't see it clearly just now. Can you take off your mask and let me see it? "
Fu Yi was speechless for a moment and was hesitating when his eyes suddenly lit up. When he reacted, the delicate hands with the scent of gardenia had already lifted up his obsidian mask.
Lin Fuxue came closer to him, her clear pupils filled with his reflection.
"Wow~" she exclaimed in admiration, a blush appearing on her fair and rosy face.
