Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 586: Dressed in Beautiful Skin

On the first day of the new year, there was no need to go anywhere to pay New Year’s visits, as there were no places to go. After having breakfast with Madam Zhou, Wufu chatted with her for a while before burying herself in her study to carve.

Approaching noon, Liu Jin said that Ninth Master had come to give New Year’s greetings and had already gone to the main hall to see Madam Zhou.

Wufu blinked, wasn’t it said that one shouldn’t roam around on the first day? Why had he come to pay a New Year’s visit so soon?

Seeing the young man before her, dressed in a purple brocade robe with a silver Jade Belt around his waist, a purse, and a very fine Jade Pendant hanging from it, Madam Zhou did not even need to mention his looks. They were incomparable to the youths in the farming households, not to mention his noble demeanor, which made her feel pressured just by watching him.

Such a young master had come to pay a visit to her, a married woman, which left Madam Zhou with indescribable feelings, both happy and worried.

Qiu Xiang coughed to remind Madam Zhou that the guest had finished paying his respects.

"You are thoughtful," Madam Zhou said with a smile and raised her hand, taking a purse from Qiu Xiang and handing it over, "Since you’ve come to pay a New Year’s visit, and you are a junior, take this small purse for good luck. May you have good fortune and everything go smoothly." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Qiu Xiang took the purse and personally handed it to Ah Jiu, who accepted and said, "Jhin Mo thanks Madam for the reward."

Jhin Mo, officially called Jhin Mo, styled as Ninth, if in Beiyan, he would be addressed as Prince Jin.

Madam Zhou smiled but wasn’t sure how to keep him there. Their home lacked a man to entertain guests. Should Wufu come out to host him?

Privately, she was not very keen on the idea, because her daughter was growing up and would soon be reaching the age of marriage the following month. If some unsavory rumors were to spread, it could tarnish her reputation.

Madam Zhou was quite anxious, but Ah Jiu spoke up, "Madam, I’d like to consult Miss Wufu on a matter, if it’s convenient?"

"She is currently in the study," sighed Madam Zhou, looking at Qiu Xiang: "You personally take Ninth Master there."

Ah Jiu quickly said, "I’ve heard that the plum blossoms in your esteemed residence’s small garden are doing well. I’d like to admire them, and I shall wait for the young lady there."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Madam Zhou’s face. When a man and a woman meet, and both are unmarried, it’s far more appropriate and reputationally safer for them to be in the open, watched-over garden than in a closed space.

It seemed this Ninth Master was not an ill-mannered person.

Ah Jiu was led to the garden, and Wufu, after hearing the news from Hongyu, laid down her carving knife, adjusted her skirt, and, with Hongyu’s help, put on her jewelry again before heading to the garden.

In the small pavilion of the small garden, tea and refreshments had been laid out alongside a Small Red Furnace, but it was empty of people.

Wufu looked around and saw a man standing under the plum tree, one hand behind his back and the other on his waist, gazing up at the plum blossoms.

Xiao Li, who was not far from Ah Jiu, saw Wufu approaching and hurriedly stepped forward to notify him. Ah Jiu turned around, their gazes meeting in midair.

Both were taken aback for a moment when they saw each other.

Ah Jiu watched her approaching from a distance, her silver-red dress trailing on the ground. Unlike those frail and delicate women who sway with each step, she walked with a captivating ease.

Looking at her face, Ah Jiu revealed a smile; the makeup and attire really suited her.

Bright enough, flamboyant enough, like the sun in the sky, dazzling and bold.

As Wufu drew close, she gave a small curtsy and greeted with a beaming smile, "Ninth Master, happy New Year, I wish you prosperity." As she spoke, she opened her hand.

Well, that greeting broke the lovely, ethereal image she had just presented. Indeed, she was still herself, merely dressed in pretty clothing.
