Entering Wu County, Cao Shuo found that this place was very different from when he first came.

Sun Quan is really a good hand at governing places.

Although Wu County is a little worse than today's Shouchun, compared with when Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong, there are rapid changes.

There are a lot of people coming and going on the road, and almost none of the shops on both sides are closed, although when they pass by, the people have let the people go to the side of the road, but they can still see the hustle and bustle here.

Walking along the street, Cao Shuo asked Sun Quan, "Zhongmou, is there any Lingyun Pavilion in Wu County?" ”

"Lingyun Pavilion?" Sun Quan said in surprise: "Isn't that Brother Zirong's property?" We really don't have it in Kure. ”

Cao Shuo grinned: "Seeing such a scene in Wu County, I would like to let Lingyun Pavilion come here to open a semicolon." ”

As soon as he said this, Sun Quan was even more convinced that the Cao family had no intention of using troops to Jiangdong, and even in the next many years, the Cao family might not send troops to Jiangdong.

Lingyun Pavilion is Cao Shuo's industry, and there are semicolons in all parts of the Cao family, and the investment in each semicolon is a lot.

Cao Shuo wants to open a semicolon of Lingyun Pavilion in Wu County, how can he easily send troops to Jiangdong?

"I heard that the dishes and beauties of Lingyun Pavilion are the best in the world." Sun Quan said: "If I can open a branch in Wu County, it would be great, and I will definitely support it." ”

"If you have Zhongmou, this sentence will be done." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "When I return to Jiangbei, I will immediately arrange for someone to do this." ”

"Then I'll be waiting in Koto." Sun Quan said with a smile.

After walking along the street for a while, Cao Shuo saw the Sun family's mansion.

Seeing the mansion, Cao Shuo said: "When I came here, the mansion was like this, but I didn't expect it to be like this now, compared with Wu County, which has changed greatly, is Zhongmou too wronged himself?" ”

"Jiangdong's foundation is weak, and although I have the intention of renovating the house, I have never been able to spare money." Sun Quan said: "After coming and going, the plan to renovate the house was shelved. ”

"If Zhongmou doesn't have any spare money in hand, just tell me." Cao Shuo said very generously: "After these few days, the relationship between the two of us is not trivial. It is reasonable for the brother-in-law to give his brother-in-law some subsidies so that his mother-in-law can live a better life. ”

"How can that be?" Sun Quan waved his hand again and again: "Renovating the house is just my temporary plan, but now I am not in a hurry." ”

"You are not in a hurry, but your mother-in-law lives in such an old house, after all, she has wronged her old man." Cao Shuo said: "You don't have to excuse me about this matter, I will let people handle it when I return to Jiangbei." ”

"Then thank you Brother Zirong first!" Sun Quan arched his hand and thanked him.

Cao Shuo had another idea in his heart.

When he came to Jiangdong this time, he wanted to take Sun Shangxiang away, and secondly, he wanted to find a reason to crusade against Jiangdong.

No matter what Sun Quan promised, as long as he could turn his face with the Sun family in Jiangdong when he crossed the river, of course those who promised would not count.

Let Cao Shuo pay for it?

Those who are familiar with him know that it is not as difficult as climbing to the sky?

Dismounted outside the gate of the house, Sun Quan said to Cao Shuo: "Brother Zirong, mother is waiting, please!" ”

"Zhongmou, please!" Cao Shuo and he gave in humbly, and the two walked into the front yard side by side.

Personally led Cao Shuo to the door of Mrs. Wu's residence, Sun Quan was about to speak, and Mrs. Wu had already walked out accompanied by several maids.

Seeing Cao Shuo, she looked at her with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Zirong is more heroic than back then." ”

"I've seen my mother-in-law." Cao Shuo recognized Mrs. Wu and hurriedly saluted.

"How can anyone call his mother-in-law before they get married." Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "Zirong speaks and does things, and he is really different from others. ”

Cao Shuo smiled: "I called my mother-in-law first, and others won't have a chance to come here to mess around." ”

"You're talking about Liu Xuande?" Mrs. Wu asked.

"It's him." Cao Shuo said: "I heard that he sent Zhuge Liang to Jiangdong to ask the Sun family to marry his wife. ”

"He thought it was a good thing." Speaking of Liu Bei, Mrs. Wu's face turned cold, and she said to Cao Shuo: "Liu Xuande is older than me, and he actually wants to marry Shang Xiang. ”

"Yes." Cao Shuo said: "He thinks that Miss Sun can marry anyone? He is not as big as me in terms of family business, he is not as good as me in terms of soldiers and horses, he is not as good as me in terms of character, and he is not as suave as me in terms of appearance. If it comes to talent, I'm afraid he doesn't feel worthy of lifting my shoes, and such a character dares to covet my wife, isn't it a monkey who doesn't know how thin his face is? ”

"It's a set of people who melt and lose." Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "But what I said is also true, then Liu Xuande is too unreasonable." Ever since he proposed to our Sun family, I felt that this person's face was very hateful. ”

"Don't mention him." Cao Shuo bowed to Mrs. Wu and said, "Mother-in-law, I came to Jiangdong this time to pick up my wife. Madame is not here, and Liu Xuande will no longer be able to move his crooked thoughts. He wanted to marry my wife, so he asked him to go to me. I promise to let him go out for the rest of his life and only rely on people to carry him. ”

"Although Zirong is a child of a family, he still speaks with the same ruffian spirit as he did back then." Mrs. Wu said: "Don't stand here either, let's go into the house first, and I'll let Shang Xiang watch the tea for Zirong later." ”

"Madame is to be loved when she marries back." Cao Shuo said: "There are so many maids here, how can you let her watch the tea?" ”

"You're a person who knows how to hurt." Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "Shang Xiang is blessed to marry Zirong in the future." ”

"Either don't marry, since you are married, of course you have to let her live a stable life." Cao Shuo said: "I have no other benefits as a person, but I will never adulterate my relatives and friends." ”

"Such a good temperament." Personally led Cao Shuo into the house, Mrs. Wu said, "I also rest assured that I will hand over Shangxiang to you." Shang Xiang has been pampered since she was a child, and her temperament is a little impatient. When he arrived at Cao's house, if there was any confrontation, Zirong still had to wait. ”

"Mother-in-law, rest assured, my wife and I will definitely be able to raise our eyebrows and respect each other." Cao Shuo responded.

Entering the room, Mrs. Wu asked Cao Shuo, "I heard that the Cao family's army is in Jingzhou, I don't know when I plan to withdraw?" ”

"If it weren't for Liu Xuande's troops in Jiangxia, the Cao family would have withdrawn long ago." Cao Shuo replied: "Liu Jingsheng died, and Liu Xuande tried to unite with Liu Qi to seize Jingzhou. It's a pity that Liu Qi is not familiar with Liu Xuande, and he really thinks that he will help him. The Cao family also refused to let Jingzhou fall into the hands of villains, so they would send troops to fight against it, so as not to cause disasters in the future. ”

"Could it be that Liu Xuande will do something out of it?" Mrs. Wu asked.

"Of course he will." Cao Shuo said: "Liu Xuande has the appearance of a hero, he has long coveted Jingzhou, once he captures Jingzhou, he will not only kill Liu Cong's mother and son, even Liu Qi will not escape death." ”
