Chapter 86 Delicate Body and Soft Waist
After the envoys from Dongbang Kingdom and Yuntang Kingdom met a tragic end, as soon as the news spread, many foreign envoys were immediately surprised.
These two countries were not weak, so how did things turn out this way!
Linfeng Kingdom, wasn’t it almost finished?
After all, with the political affairs controlled by women, there was no hope for much development in Linfeng Kingdom.
Even now, it has become a piece of plump meat, attracting the attention of many countries, all eager to try and see if they could get a bite of this delicious meat.
However, the first person to eat the meat not only failed to get it into his mouth but also suffered many burns… This result made people seriously doubt if the news was false.
Was Linfeng Kingdom still that strong even after the emperor’s death?
With such thoughts, except for those who remained inactive, others who wanted to verify the truth of the news then sent their visiting cards and obediently entered the Linfeng Kingdom’s Imperial Palace according to the procedure.
The situation was unclear, and to be on the safe side, it was better for them to be honest.
And with the good attitude of these foreign envoys, Bai Qian did not call Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao over again, as she could easily handle it herself.
For a time, Gu Yu was idle.
“Alas, if I had known I would be staying in the capital for such a long time, I should have brought my younger brother-in-law along. It would have been so satisfying to bully him when I had nothing to do.”
Sighing softly, when Gu Mengyao and Gu Qing were practicing martial arts, Gu Yu could not get involved.
He had also gotten tired of reading the Medical Scripture and was preparing to read it for the third time.
At this moment, Gu Yu felt very bored.
He even thought… it would be great if there were a few more difficult foreign envoys, so he could slap their faces a few more times.
Unfortunately, after Dongbang Kingdom and Yuntang Kingdom suffered setbacks, the people who came later became smarter, depriving Gu Yu of the opportunity to slap faces again.
“Young Master, the items you ordered have been delivered!”
“Hmm, send them to my room!”
Wandering aimlessly in the garden and looking at the withered flowers around him, Gu Yu was about to compose a poem when he was interrupted by a sudden voice.
Then, upon hearing that the ordered wooden boxes were ready, Gu Yu didn’t say anything more, but simply had someone send the items to his room.
He had placed the order a few days ago, and after Gu Yu directly paid extra, the craftsmen were full of motivation, and in a short period of time, they had made hundreds of exquisite wooden boxes.
As expected, money is the motivation!
Coincidentally, with Yuntang Kingdom actively sending money, Gu Yu felt even richer and believed he had to find a way to spend it.
However, even though Gu Yu had almost bought half of the jewelry in the capital, his silver still did not decrease… This made Gu Yu fall into doubt, thinking if he had been too frugal before, which had caused the silver in his hands to pile up more and more.
He couldn’t spend it all now…
“Okay, I’ll instruct them to bring the items in right away.”
“By the way, are there any big news in the capital recently? Tell me about it.”
“Big news… I heard that the new courtesan in Yuanyang Pavilion is delicate and soft-waisted, and she can recite poetry and sing. Many people have gone there to catch a glimpse of the beautiful woman’s appearance, and have even fought over her…”
“Stop, stop, stop. News about women doesn’t count. I’m not interested in such things… Also, don’t talk about these things in front of me in the future. You’re not afraid that your Young Lady will hear about it and tear down those brothels.”
Before the servant could leave, Gu Yu suddenly asked.
As a result, seeing the servant’s greedy look, Gu Yu’s expression immediately darkened.
He was just bored and wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn’t want to go to a place of ill repute like a brothel.
Moreover, once Gu Mengyao found out that he had gone to a brothel, she would definitely not say anything and would directly tear down the building in anger… Thinking about this scene, Gu Yu found it somewhat amusing.
He didn’t doubt the act of tearing down buildings; rather, he believed it too much.
His little wife would definitely do it!
“It was my mistake for speaking wrongly. Diecui Tower in the west of the city has acquired a batch of excellent jade. Many scholars and poets have gone there to select suitable jade and personally carve it into various ornaments to give to friends and relatives, showing great sincerity.”
“Oh? There’s such a thing, alright! Tell the carpenter to deliver the items, and then take me there to see the quality of the jade.”
“Okay.”
After Gu Yu spoke, the servant quickly slapped his left cheek before telling Gu Yu the news that interested him.
Ever since he made a sword sheath himself last time, Gu Yu had also held great interest in making items with his own hands.
Furthermore, before he transmigrated, he had seen many styles of modern jewelry. If he were to make them himself, he might be able to create very beautiful jewelry!
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. When the servant returned, Gu Yu directly asked him to lead the way, heading towards Diecui Tower in the west of the city.
“Young Master, this is it!”
“There are quite a lot of people!”
“Yes, this is also a time-honored brand, the largest jade trading place in the capital.”
After getting out of the carriage, Gu Yu looked at the bustling two-story building in front of him, and he was very curious about what kind of jade materials were inside.
On the way to the Tang Sect last time, Gu Yu gambled on a lot of stones and received very generous rewards.
In his space, there were all sorts of top-quality jade.
However, Gu Yu thought that he had no carving experience, so he still had to buy more stones… While practicing, when his skills were almost good enough, he would work on those top-quality jade to create the most beautiful jewelry for his little wife.
“Esteemed sir, please come in. What kind of jade materials do you need?”
As Gu Yu walked into Diecui Tower, the staff member standing at the entrance looking around immediately brightened when he saw him, knowing that a wealthy patron had arrived.
Having worked in the capital for so many years, the shop assistant naturally knew how to judge the thickness of a patron’s wallet from their appearance.
Just by looking at this person’s clothes and accessories, he knew that he was either rich or noble, and he would definitely be able to increase his commission!
Thinking of this, the shop assistant became even more attentive, which made Gu Yu chuckle, thinking that this shop assistant was quite shrewd.
“I don’t have any major demands for now. Just find me some jade for practice.”
However, when Gu Yu spoke, upon hearing that he only wanted to buy some jade for practice, the shop assistant’s eyes no longer shone. But fortunately, his professional quality was good, and he didn’t immediately turn hostile towards Gu Yu.
Moreover, with Gu Yu’s attire, it was not something that a mere shop assistant dared to turn hostile towards him.
After all, many wealthy gentlemen were stingy, counting every penny.
“Oh my, isn’t this Gu Yu from the Gu family? Why have you come here in person? Have the servants at the Gu Residence been used up? Tsk tsk, after all, he is a son-in-law who married into the family. No matter how capable he is, he still has to be subservient!”
Before the shop assistant could speak again, a contemptuous voice suddenly rang out from inside Diecui Tower. Gu Yu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but arch upon hearing this, thinking that trouble had finally found him.
Coincidentally, he was feeling very bored right now!
