Chapter 10 Duke Jin’s Mansion
"Madam, this is a post sent from Duke Jin's Mansion. We happened to go out when the post was delivered, and it happened to be staggered."

Guyu came over with a beautiful post. The cover was painted with lotus flowers in elegant and pure colors.

Jiang Fuyue nodded, opened the post and took a look.

"I still remember that before Madam came out of the cabinet, she had a very good relationship with Miss Sun." Gu Yu sat aside, grabbing a handful of melon seeds and cracking them, "Now that Miss Sun has become Duke Jin's young wife, you will become The ladies in charge of the Marquis Mansion are all here in the capital, so it’s great to be so close!”

"Yes." Jiang Fuyue nodded, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Miss Sun's mother and her mother were close friends who had the same temperament and had an excellent relationship. Later, the two of them also became friends.

Since her mother's death, she has been depressed and rarely goes out. Fortunately, Miss Sun has come to help her many times.

But ever since Jiang Baisheng helped Xu Xian, he never saw her again.

Later, the two of them got married and were busy with their own affairs, and they didn't see each other for a long time.

"In a moment, you go to the warehouse to pick out some expensive gifts and bring them over in two days."

"Yes!"

After a while, Jingzhe came back with a letter, and Gu Yu went out to pick out gifts.

Jingzhe saw Jiang Fuyue's expectations and felt relieved.

In the past, Jiang Fuyue was busy with affairs. For her, these banquets were just necessary human exchanges. Even if she went there, she would have to deal with them with a smile on her face, without any sincere joy. It was completely different from now.

Jingzhe hadn't seen Jiang Fuyue so relaxed for a long time.

"Madam, why don't we go to the streets tomorrow to buy some makeup, hairpins, rings or something?" Jingzhe suggested, "We haven't gone shopping for a long time. Every time, several shops deliver things directly to our house. It’s really boring here.”

Jiang Fuyue looked at her funny: "Why do you suddenly like the excitement?"

Jingzhe smiled sheepishly.

Even if she wanted to, she didn't have time before.

"Why don't you go with Guyu tomorrow? I want to rest." Jiang Fuyue said.

She had worked hard for so long and was mentally exhausted. Now that she was free, she just wanted to have a good rest.

"Ah? Let's forget it then," Jingzhe curled her lips, "Go out with Gu Yu, this slave is really like a mother, there is always something to worry about!"

Thinking about such a big person and being able to run away on the street makes me feel worried.

Jiang Fuyue laughed.

While he was talking, Gu Yu came back and brought back the gift list he had drafted.

"Madam, do you think there is something wrong with this arrangement?" Gu Yu handed the post to Jiang Fuyue and sat down next to Jingzhe, "I went to the warehouse just now and happened to meet Liu's mother coming to get something. This is what Li Juren wants. I looked at it and saw that it was an only copy left by a famous calligrapher from the previous dynasty. This Li Juren really dares to ask for it!"

"What?" Jingzhe opened his eyes in surprise, "Li Juren dared to ask for it, and the old lady actually gave it to him! That is a unique copy!"

Unique copies cannot be measured by price. They are usually inconspicuous in the warehouse, but as long as you find the right buyer, you can sell them for as much as you want.
But now, the old lady actually gave it to Li Juren directly.

"That's right!" Gu Yu nodded heavily, "I was shocked when I heard it!"

Jiang Fuyue read the gift list and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, let's just arrange it this way."

"Yes." Jingzhe took the booklet and went out to make arrangements.

With nothing to do and feeling sleepy, Jiang Fuyue yawned, asked Gu Yu to undress her, and went to bed.

Three days later, it was the day when Jin Guogong held a lotus appreciation banquet.

Jiang Fuyue rested for a while and felt refreshed. She got up early that day and started dressing up. Then she took two maids and a bunch of gifts and set off for the Duke of Jin's Mansion.Although the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion has a bad reputation, it is still a Marquis' Mansion and is relatively close to the Duke of Jin's Mansion. It only takes two-quarters of an hour by carriage.

It was still early at this time, and the front door of Duke Jin's Mansion was empty. Only the maid and the boy were guarding the door, and there was not a single guest.

When Sun Jingke heard the announcement from the concierge, she quickly went to greet her at the door. When she saw Jiang Fuyue, she almost jumped up with excitement: "It's really you! I thought the concierge was tricking me! Why did you come so early for such a busy person? Pass?"

"Why, you're not happy that I came early?" Jiang Fuyue said with a smile.

"Of course not!" Sun Jingke stepped forward, took Jiang Fuyue's arm intimately and brought her into the house, "It's not too late for me to be happy! It's still early, let's go back and have a good chat!"

"There's no rush," Jiang Fuyue said, "I still have to pay a visit to the Duke's wife first."

Sun Jingke patted his head: "Look at me, I was so happy that I forgot about this!"

After saying that, Sun Jingke took her and quickly walked to the courtyard of the Duke's wife.

Mrs. Guo Gong is a very kind person. She comes from a wealthy family, and she is in love with Jin Guo Gong. In her life until now, perhaps the only thing she is unhappy about is her son.

When they arrived, the Duke's wife was joking with her close friends in the hall. The two came over to say hello. Seeing that her daughter-in-law looked like she couldn't wait any longer, the Duke's wife smiled and asked them to leave.

The scenery in the backyard of Duke Jin's Mansion is also one of a kind, especially the lotus lake. The lotus in the lake takes up almost the entire water surface. Occasionally, koi carps can be seen swimming under the lotus leaves.

There is a circle of white marble railings surrounding the lake, and the railings of the railings are carved with lifelike pictures of hibiscus emerging from the water.

The wind blows from the lake, bringing a coolness and comfort.

Sun Jingke and Jiang Fuyue stood by the Lotus Lake, turned around and looked at her: "I feel like you are very different today!"

"What's the difference?"

"Well..." Sun Jingke looked at her carefully again, "I can't tell you. I just feel like your whole body is glowing now."

Jiang Fuyue twitched her lips: "Have I become a Bodhisattva?"

Still glowing.

Sun Jingke rolled her eyes at her unceremoniously: "You really can't listen to any kind words. I'm praising you in vain!"

Jiang Fuyue laughed twice in a good mood.

Sun Jingke glanced at her, then turned to look at Jingzhe and Gu Yu, then lowered his voice and said, "Hey, tell me honestly, do you have other plans?"

Previously, Jiang Fuyue looked exhausted from the inside out, but now it was completely different, as if she had been reborn.

Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Can you see this?"

Sun Jingke let out a "hateful" sound and said, "Don't even look at our friendship! What can you hide from me? Tell me carefully, what are your plans now?"

"Now, I don't have any plans yet," Jiang Fuyue said, "I'm not trying to deal with you. I was too tired before and wanted to take a good rest and recuperate my body first."

There has been no reply from Madam Zhou, and the matter has not yet been settled. Jiang Fuyue is unsure, so naturally she cannot say anything.

Sun Jingke nodded: "Well, your plan is the right one. There is no need to rush! The most important thing is to take good care of yourself first! I will pack some supplements for you in a while and you can take them away. Go back and replenish!"

Jiang Fuyue said helplessly: "That's not necessary, there are a lot of good things in the warehouse of the Marquis Mansion, and my body and bones are not bad, they are enough for me."

"Come on, it's just your mother-in-law..." Sun Jingke rolled his eyes.

Jiang Fuyue just lowered her head to look at the thousand-year-old lotus. Sun Jingke looked sharply and shouted: "Xie Ziqi! Just stand there!"
