Section 160 Chapter 153 Mother Wu

At this time, Xiao Ruo had already arrived at General Wu's Mansion. It's just that unlike last time, this time Mrs. Wu didn't go out. Hearing the doorman's announcement that Boss Jin of Juxia Building was coming, Mrs. Wu was only slightly puzzled for a moment, and then ordered her daughter-in-law to go to the second gate to guard in person, and led Xiao Ruo to this flower hall.

"Xiao Ruo greets Mrs. Wu." Xiao Ruo took the apricot peach into the flower hall, smiled and saluted Mrs. Wu, who was sitting above.

She has also had a few encounters with this Mrs. Wu, and she has also heard Wu Qianrou say that her mother asked her to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how to have a good relationship with the ladies of various provinces, and so on. Although Wu Qianrou has many complaints, at least Mrs. Wu has not neglected Wu Qianrou a lot like Wu Zongbing, at least she loves her daughter. Otherwise, why does Mrs. Wu look much older five years later than before?

"Last time I heard from the people in the house that Boss Jin of Ju Xia Lou had come to the house, I thought they were mistaken. Unexpectedly, it's really Boss Jin! Mrs. Wu's smile grew, but the wrinkles around her eyes became more and more obvious. It's been five years, and maybe Mrs. Wu isn't doing very well.

"On the opening day of Juxia House last time, I invited Miss Zhirou and Miss Qianrou to go together, but I didn't see Miss Qianrou that day, and after some inquiry, I learned that Miss Qianrou had been sick in bed for a long time. So Xiao Ruo came to visit to show her concern. The meaning of Xiao Ruo's words is that she only came to visit out of concern. Xiao Ruo also knew that her identity should not have appeared in front of Wu Qianrou, once it was exposed, the entire Wu Mansion would change dramatically because of her appearance.

"The little girl is not in good health, if it weren't for Zhi Rou to see her from time to time, I'm afraid she would be lonely alone." As she spoke, Mrs. Wu wet her eyes with tears and wiped her with a twisted handkerchief.

"Mrs. Wu doesn't need to be too sad, I believe that Miss Qianrou will definitely be cured in a few days." Whether Mrs. Wu is sincere or not, this is also what Xiao Ruo expects.

Mrs. Wu said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really ashamed to lose my temper in front of Boss Jin, but whenever I think of Qianrou's body, I can't help but feel sad." As he spoke, he pressed the tears from the corners of his eyes again, and continued: "I don't know what happened to Boss Jin's visit today?" ”

"Oh, that's right. At the last opening ceremony, Miss Zhirou was lucky enough to win the grand prize specially prepared by our Juxia Building. That is, the jade cream in Xiao Ruo's hand, I don't know if Mrs. Wu has ever heard of it? Xiao Ruo took the jade cream from Xing Tao's hand and put it on the coffee table.

"It turns out that this is Jade Cream, but I haven't seen it yet. Boss Xu Shijin didn't know that this jade cream had already spread to the ears of the families of officials throughout Kyoto on the first day of the opening ceremony. It's just that because the price is high and I don't know the effect, everyone is waiting and watching. A hint of inquiry flashed in Mrs. Wu's eyes, and the jade cream of thirty taels of silver was already the most expensive skin care product. I don't know why this boss Jin came over with these three bottles of jade cream?

"Since they are all waiting and seeing, Xiao Ruo is not good to disappoint you. In fact, when I saw Miss Zhirou in the house that day, I fell in love with each other; When chatting with Miss Qianrou, whether it was her temperament or self-cultivation, it made Xiao Ruo feel that it was too late to meet. So if Xiao Ruo came today, he specially gave this jade cream to the two young ladies. The remaining bottle is a little bit of Xiaoruo's first visit to Mrs. Wu, and she asked Mrs. Wu to smile. Xiao Ruo smiled and motioned Xing Tao to hand over a bottle of jade cream on the table to the daughter-in-law who had just led them in the door and was now standing beside Mrs. Wu.

"If you don't have merit, how can you be embarrassed?" Mrs. Wu hurriedly smiled and waved her hand to excuse herself.

"How can it be useless? Mrs. Wu's skin is very good, and with Xiao Ruo's jade cream, I am afraid that she will look like she is as old as Zhirou and Miss Qianrou. When the ladies of Kyoto take a look, they will naturally be willing to pay the silver and go to the Juxia Building to buy jade cream. When the time comes, Xiao Ruo will thank Mrs. Wu and the two young ladies! Xiao Ruo bragged about it, which made the smile on Mrs. Wu's face brighter.

"Since Boss Jin has said so, then I will accept it with shame." As she spoke, Mrs. Wu glanced at the daughter-in-law and motioned for her to take a bottle of jade cream in Xingtao's hand.

Originally, Xiao Ruo could give all these three bottles of jade cream to Mrs. Wu, but in this way, she had no reason to see Wu Qianrou again. If the next time she comes, Mrs. Wu has been in the mansion all the time, then won't she never see the person she wants to see?

When Xiao Ruo wanted to propose to meet the two young ladies, he didn't expect the two to come together.

"The daughter greets her mother." Zhirou helped Qianrou into the flower hall and greeted Mrs. Wu who was sitting on it.

When Mrs. Wu saw Qianrou appear here, she was not only worried, but also shocked. Hurriedly got up, walked to Qianrou, took her hand and said, "Qianrou, why are you up?" The doctor said that you have to take care of yourself, if you come out like this, you will not be able to stand the cold! Mrs. Wu's eyes were full of blame and distress.

In fact, Mrs. Wu can't be left shocked. Since Wu Qianrou became ill, in addition to being able to walk around the house at will and read books at will, until Xiaoruo appeared, Qianrou could only stay in bed, and she couldn't even get out of bed. suddenly appeared here today, and it happened that Xiao Ruo also appeared, and it was difficult for Mrs. Wu not to connect the two things.

"Don't worry about the mother, the daughter knows what is important. Last time, Qianrou chatted with Boss Jin very happily, and I just heard Zhirou say that Boss Jin is here, so I came out to see it. Wu Qianrou took Mrs. Wu's hand and said.

Mrs. Wu glared at Zhirou with some dissatisfaction, blaming her for being troublesome. Zhirou naturally saw that her mother's coercion had always been the fear in her heart, so she couldn't help but take a step back and stand behind Qianrou.

Wu Qianrou also knew that Zhirou was just a concubine born to a concubine in her mother's mind, and her affection naturally couldn't be the same as her, so she explained: "It's not all because of these. The daughter just feels better today, and she hasn't asked her mother for a long time, and she has done her filial piety. I felt that I was very unfilial, so I went out of the yard. ”

"Please be safe or not, my mother doesn't care. It only matters that you take care of your body. Mrs. Wu patted Qianrou's hand and said.

"My daughter knows." Qianrou nodded knowingly. So, let go of Mrs. Wu's hand, walked in front of Xiao Ruo with a smile, and said, "Boss Jin is polite." ”

"Miss Qianrou is polite." Xiao Ruofu returned the salute. After getting up, Xiao Ruo turned around and picked up two bottles of jade cream from the table and handed them to Qianrou and Zhirou, and said, "Today, Xiao Ruo specially sent the jade cream promised to the two young ladies last time. ”

"Thank you, Boss Kim." Zhirou happily took the jade cream. Thirty taels of silver, she probably sold her jewelry plus the moon silver she had saved over the years, which was enough to buy two bottles of jade cream. Now that Boss Jin is so generous, how can he make Zhirou not be ecstatic.

"Qianrou also thanks Boss Jin." With that, Qianrou turned around and asked Mrs. Wu, "Mother, can I ask Boss Jin to come to my room for tea and chat?" ”

How could Mrs. Wu refuse, so she naturally nodded and smiled.

"Then there will be Miss Lao Qianrou to entertain you." Xiao Ruo smiled and thanked him.

So, Qianrou Zhirou, and Xiao Ruo, the three of them walked out of the flower hall, leaving Mrs. Wu with a thoughtful look and watching the back of their departure.

"Madam, this Boss Jin seems to have a very good relationship with Miss, I don't know if there are any intentions?" The daughter-in-law who was standing next to Mrs. Wu walked up and said. She has been by Mrs. Wu's side for so many years, so she naturally guessed that Mrs. Wu was thinking this in her heart, so she said this.

"Attempt?" Mrs. Wu said as if talking to herself: "What other intentions can people in the Wu Mansion have now? If you want to get something, why doesn't this Jin boss just hug the thighs of the mighty Marquis Mansion? Why bother coming to this nobody's place. After saying that, Mrs. Wu sneered for a while.

The current Wu Mansion is much inferior to that of the past. Since the failure of the protector to take the position, it is not easy to keep the current position of the chief soldier.

She wasn't afraid of what Boss Jin had in mind, but she couldn't figure it out, why Qianrou was so interested in someone she had only met once? She is Qianrou's mother, and Qianrou has always been under her nose, what kind of character Qianrou is, she naturally knows best. It's just that she can't figure out why Qianrou has changed so much now.
