The concierge greeted him, his eyes lit up, this carriage is very luxurious, it must be the carriage of the noble family, but I don't know which one, in fact, there is also a good home in the Yingguo Mansion, the love is still there, although it can't help much, but it has not broken off the relationship, of course, it is inevitable that the exchanges are not as frequent as before, Wu Cao stepped out of the carriage, the porter was slightly stunned, and then respectfully saluted.

"Second Miss!"

can't be disrespectful, because the title of the eldest prince is still inherited by the second lady in the end.

"Second Miss, the prince and the old lady have been looking forward to you!"

"yes, you're finally here!"

Wu Cao was not shocked by the warm welcome on the concierge, and even very indifferent, because when she, her mother, and sister were kicked out of the national mansion, she still remembered the faces of these concierges very clearly, but she was too lazy to bother with them.

"Lift the back box down!"

Wu Cao commanded, several porters hurriedly stepped forward to move a few boxes and baskets from the carriage, Wu Cao with two maids just walked into the door, Wu Yuanqing strode over, looked at Wu Cao with a look of surprise and said.

"Oops, I said why did the magpie keep calling today, it turned out that my sister was here!"

This was the first time Wu Cao had come back since he left the Guogong Mansion, how could he not be surprised? Wu Cao said in a deep voice.

"I'm coming to see my mother!"

"The old lady is well! My sister still needs to bring so many things when she goes back to her parents' house? ”

Wu Yuanqing said in a loud voice, Wu Cao glanced at him and said in a deep voice.

"This is for my mother."

Even if Wu Yuanqing was thick-skinned, he couldn't help blushing, this was almost on his face, Wu Yuanqing said with a haha.

"Sister, don't worry, the old lady doesn't lack anything, and she is doing well! Although our Guogong Mansion is down, if there is no one missing, there will never be a shortage of old ladies. ”

Wu Cao also knew in his heart that as long as there was a father-in-law, the people in the Yingguo Mansion would not treat his mother slowly.

"It's also my incompetence, now that the Guogong Mansion is becoming more and more cold, I don't think I, Wu Yuanqing, have done anything wrong, I don't know why the saint has not rewarded me with officials."

Wu Yuanqing secretly glanced at Wu Cao and sighed.

"Now our Guogong Mansion is also sitting on empty hills, in fact, I wanted you to marry your eldest sister in the first place, but I couldn't do it!"

Wu Cao was silent for a moment and said firmly.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Wu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably when he heard this, and patted his chest and said.

"How can you say that you and your eldest sister are the young ladies of our Yingguo Mansion, your dowry was originally ours, and I knew that even if I smashed the pot and sold iron, I would marry you and my eldest sister, it's a pity!"

Wu Cao was very disdainful when he heard this, when you drove our mother out of the Guogong Mansion, did you ever think about this? But Wu Cao didn't pierce Wu Yuanqing's words, if she had to talk about Wu Yuanqing's face according to her previous temper, but now she has changed, because of Li Yong, although she has not completely let go of these past grievances, but they have faded, she only cares about her mother now, in addition, she and Ying Guogong's people have no affection.

"Cao'er! Are you back? ”

The old lady looked surprised.

"Mother, are you okay?"

Wu Cao asked with concern.

The old lady nodded and smiled.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine!"

"Put everything in the yard!"

Wu Cao commanded, and the porter put several large boxes and baskets in the courtyard according to his words, and Wu Cao said with a smile.

"Mother, I brought you some fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse, and some brocade furs, you should also make a few clothes in winter, and some snacks, that big box is spices, Hou Ye's fleet went to sea to bring back dozens of truckloads of spices, so I packed a big box for you."

The old lady asked in shock.

"Dozens of carts of spices?"

Wu Yuanqing said loudly.

"No, I've heard it all over the world! It is said that Hua Tinghou discovered the spice island overseas and pulled a boatload of spices, but many people don't believe it! I said it must be true, and it was true. ”

Wu Yuanqing's eyes lit up when he looked at the big box of spices, this big box of spices was more than a hundred catties, which was worth a lot of money! In fact, what excites Wu Yuanqing the most is not this box of spices, but the dozens of carts of spices, any ship can pull dozens of carts of spices, they should be in despair, the money for smashing the pot and selling iron for a sea ship can still be made, once you go to sea to pull a boatload of spices back, it will be a million profits!

"I heard Hua Tinghou say that he knew that there was a spice island on the sea, and it was true! That's all ownerless wealth! Once we come back with a boatload of spices, we'll have a better time in the future. ”

Wu Yuanqing smiled shamelessly, Wu Cao couldn't help but glance at Wu Yuanqing, your good day? Wu Yuanqing had a good calculation, and was glanced at by Wu Cao, and Wu Yuanqing coughed dryly very interestingly.

"My sister hasn't seen the old lady for a few days, she must have a lot to say, I'll come and talk to my sister later."

After Wu Yuanqing left, Wu Cao immediately took his mother's hand and asked.

"Mother, how does Wu Yuanqing treat you?"

The old lady laughed.

"It's really good, Yuan Qing was confused for a while, and now he has come to his senses and changed his ways."

Wu Cao sneered in his heart when he heard this, change his ways? Believe in his ghosts, what kind of bird their brother is, she Wu Cao is clear.

"Mother, but I see that your clothes are still the old clothes from before."

Wu Cao asked.

"It's the clothes from before, and the clothes and jewelry from before are still there! I can't even wear it, so why do I need a new one? Yuan Qing also said before that he would let people make new clothes, but I excused myself, there was no need. ”

The old lady explained.

"Now the Guogong Mansion is indeed not as good as it is from now, before Yuanqing spent a lot of money to attack the lord and go to the door to get some favors, and even sold a lot of properties, alas! Now the Guogong Mansion is really tighter. ”

"He deserves it!"

Wu Cao muttered in a low voice.

"Cao'er, this is your father's family business!"

The old lady said angrily, but Wu Cao laughed.

"What does the Guogong Mansion love, we don't bother to care, no matter what, we can't lack my mother's food and clothing, if the other Guogong Mansion can't afford it, there will be me!"

The old lady asked with concern.

"Cao'er, how are you and Shun'er doing in the Huating Hou Mansion?"

Wu Cao said with a smile.

"Mother doesn't have to worry about me and my sister, my sister and I are fine, and the princess and the princess are very good to us."

The old lady asked in a low voice.

"Cao'er, you and Shun'er have already passed the door, so you have to do your part."

Wu Cao nodded obediently and said.

"Mother, I know, my sister and I know how to do it, you can rest assured!"

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she was inevitably still a little uncomfortable. When the old Guogong was still alive, she never thought that there would be such a day, how prosperous the Guogong Mansion was at that time! At that time, she was thinking about what kind of good son-in-law she would choose for her daughter, who wanted a good family, a good family, and a talent...... She never thought that her two daughters would be concubines, and the lady of the dignified Guogong Mansion would be concubines, two years ago, she would never have dreamed of it, however, now she can only smile bitterly, because the situation of the Guogong Mansion is very clear in her heart, saying that it is the Guogong Mansion, how can there be a little dignity that the Guogong Mansion should have? Even, without his daughter's help, Wu Yuanqing would not have been able to attack the knighthood, and exchange his daughter's title for Wu Yuanqing's title, is it worth it? She didn't know, thinking the other way, Wu Yuanqing inherited the title of Duke of Guo, and the Duke Mansion was down, if Wu Yuanqing did not inherit the title, then what kind of good man could her daughter find? The old lady could only sigh, Wu Cao seemed to see through her mother's thoughts, she smiled.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about us, we are indeed living well, and my sister and I have recognized him in this life. Don't worry, Master Hou also let me handle the business! Let you enjoy your old age in peace. ”

Wu Cao is indeed very confident, Li Yong himself is not a stingy person, and although she does not handle many transactions, it is only a small part of the Huating Hou Mansion, but it is already a rare wealth for others, so she wants to support her mother, it is really a trivial matter, but it is just a matter of talking to Li Yong, the old lady was silent when she heard it, there is a Guogong Mansion, how can there be a reason to marry a daughter to support? The old lady was silent for a moment and said softly.

"Cao'er, are you just watching the Guogong Mansion go down like this? That's your father's hard work! ”

Wu Cao replied crisply.

"Mother, I'm just a daughter's family, and it's Wu Yuanqing's business to revitalize the family business."

The old lady sighed and said.

"But Yuanqing didn't have a chance to show it! He doesn't even have an official position, there are so many princes in the court, but only he has no official position, how does this make others think of him? Cao'er, can you ask Hua Tinghou? He is deeply trusted by the saint, can he let him say a few good words for Yuan Qing in front of the saint? At least give him a chance to show it! ”

Seeking an official for Wu Yuanqing? Why do you seek an official for Wu Yuanqing? At the beginning, Li Yong said that she didn't agree to help Wu Yuanqing attack the lord, and then she considered that her mother and sister still needed to return to the Gongfu to live, so she finally agreed, and now her mother has returned to the Guogong Mansion to live, so what does it matter to her whether Wu Yuanqing has an official position? Even if the Guogong Mansion is prosperous again, how much of the benefit can still fall on the mother? Maybe my mother will be kicked out of the house again! But as long as she is there, she will never allow it and will not embarrass her mother, Wu Cao said with an embarrassed face.

"Mother, I'm just a concubine, how can you let me speak?"

When the old lady heard this, she thought that it was the same, and said hesitantly.

"Well, I'll talk about it later, but you have to be careful!"

Wu Cao said helplessly.

"Besides, he is a man, the title he inherits, he is the pillar of the Guogong Mansion, how can he always count on others? But if he had some ability, he wouldn't be like this, at the horse racing conference a while ago, didn't the Guogong Mansion have a BMW? Why didn't he participate in such an opportunity to show his face in front of the saints? ”

The old lady argued.

"After all, he is a prince of the country, how can he go to a horse race with a bunch of boys?"

Wu Cao said angrily.

"Is he old? How is he or an elder? There are princes and princesses who participate in horse races, which one is not higher than him? Isn't it because he can't write or write? ”

For Wu Yuanqing's brother, Wu Cao is very despised for her, if she is a man and inherits the title, the Guogong Mansion will definitely not be like this, but unfortunately she is not a man, it was a very happy thing to come back to see her mother, but now she feels very depressed in her heart, at this time Wu Shu walked in happily and said in surprise.

"Sister, you're back!"

Wu Cao stood up happily and said happily.

"Little sister, are you okay?"

Wu Shu nodded again and again and replied.

"Okay, I'm fine, sister, I miss you so much!"

"Sister misses you too!"

Wu Cao took his sister's hand intimately and looked up and down, Wu Shu is the righteous daughter of the warrior Tong, and she has had the best relationship with the Wu Cao sisters since she was a child.

"Have you ever eaten the pork and recipes I had brought me last time? Do you think it's delicious? ”

Wu Cao asked with a smile.

"I've eaten a little, it's delicious!"

Wu Shu smiled innocently, have you eaten a little? Wu Cao's heart sank when he heard this, and his face remained unchanged and smiled.

"It's okay, I'll have someone deliver it to you. There are also some fruits and vegetables, and I have some clothes made for you, and jewelry, and a few bottles of perfume, which is a big box of spices. ”

Wu Shu was very surprised when she heard this, and hugged her sister and said happily.

"It's still my sister who is good to me!"

Wu Cao said with a smile.

"Later! If you have anything you want or what you lack, send someone to tell your sister that don't wronged yourself. ”

Wu Shu nodded repeatedly.

"Well, well, sister, can I go and play with you? I haven't been to Lijiazhuang yet! ”

Wu Cao said with a smile.

"Okay, you can come anytime!"

Wu Shu said excitedly.

"Great!"

The mother and daughter were talking in the room, Wu Yuanqing actually didn't go far, he had been wandering around the old lady's courtyard, since Li Yong no longer held classes, he didn't even have the opportunity to see Li Yong and Wu Cao, and now Wu finally sent it to the door, he was afraid that Wu Cao would sneak away without saying a word, in the past two years, he had a too difficult time, originally he thought that he would be able to enjoy wealth and nobility by attacking the lord, who would have thought that Jiao Xin had just begun, in order to attack the lord, he went around and almost didn't hollow out the family foundation, In the end, the money was spent in vain, of course, you can't blame people for not making a difference, it's really stuck in the emperor and queen who can't do anything, after inheriting the title, he originally wanted to revive the family business and make up for the money spent, however, he found that no one took him seriously at all, even the tax collectors in the east and west cities didn't take him seriously, which was too big a blow to him, knowing that at this moment he understood that it was not possible to have an empty title without an official position, not only did he not have an official position, but he was also short of money, The current Guogong Mansion is already an empty shelf, and has been sitting and eating empty, if it continues like this, I am afraid that he will not even be able to maintain decency, and now his only hope is pinned on Wu Cao's body, Wu Yuanqing paced anxiously, but he couldn't make up his mind whether he should go in or continue to wait, and he didn't know if the old lady would help him, and he didn't know if the old lady's words would work.
