Wukou returned home in a hurry and saw a familiar figure sitting there in the front hall. He immediately ran over and looked at that person happily.
"Young Master." The housekeeper called out. His master was finally back. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to talk to this guest. Fortunately, the eldest lady's embarrassing scene just now made it difficult to communicate with the guest. The subsequent conversation
Also, this customer doesn't like to talk, so he can't get any information by himself.
But the Young Patriarch is finally back. From the looks of it, the Young Patriarch values this person very much.
"Well, you did a good job." Wu Kou patted the butler on the shoulder, which made the butler puzzled. He received a guest. It was a normal thing, so how could it be so good?
Wukou sat directly next to Chen Mo. This was the guest seat. According to the rules, Wukou should occupy the position of the head of the house. But at this time, in the eyes of the housekeeper and the maids, this guest had a very good relationship with the head of the house.
Otherwise it wouldn't be so casual.
At this point, these servants guessed wrong. It was only the second time for Chen Mo to see Wukou, and it was the third time for Wukou.
"You're here, I thought you were going to stay in the temple until the spring flowers bloom." Wu Kou picked up the plate of snacks that Chen Mo had eaten before. This is a girl. Another maid brought hot tea.
Place it in front of the warrior, then step aside.
"What do you mean you're here? How long have you been back here?" Chen Mo glanced at him, twitched his nose twice and said, "I haven't eaten anything yet."
"Ah?!" Wu Kou was stunned for a moment. "Oh, you didn't tell me earlier, butler, hurry up and prepare food."
Wukou ordered, and then asked Chen Mo: "What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, it's faster to go out to eat." Chen Mo replied lightly.
"How can that be okay? It's your first time to come to my house. You have to eat here anyway. Besides, it's inconvenient to talk outside." Wu Kou said "Hey" and said to the big housekeeper: "Butler, just make whatever you want."
Just a dish, and by the way, bring me a few jugs of wine that my sister gave me. My eldest brother is here today and can be opened."
"Big...brother??!"
Several servants looked at their young master in surprise and then at the young man who looked cold and expressionless.
The words Chen Mo said when he was at the door suddenly came to mind: "I am his brother."
What kind of relative are these?
"What are you still doing? Go quickly." Wu Kou urged.
"Oh, okay." The housekeeper went to prepare things with doubts.
"Hey, are you alone? Where's the little sister?" Only then did Wu Kou realize that Chen Mo came alone.
"I sent him to school."
"Where did she go? There is a private school in Liusu Mountain? If she comes to Changjing, my sister will definitely hire the best teacher for her."
"Where's your sister?" Chen Mo asked. Although he just knew that he didn't have only one sister, Wu Kou must understand what he asked.
"My sister doesn't live here, she is in the Wuyou Palace outside the city."
"Prince's Mansion?"
"By the way, we didn't tell you last time that my sister is now the princess, and she is married to King Wuyou."
"..." Chen Mo was speechless.
"Come on, don't talk about this now. Let's talk somewhere else and let's go."
With that said, he led Chen Mo out, and the two maids followed behind with curiosity.
Instead of eating in a formal dining room, they moved to an attic. Chen Mo didn't know what it was used for. He only knew that he could have a "casual" dinner here.
The reception banquet, well, that's what Wukou said. In addition to Wukou and Chen Mo, there was also a woman at the banquet. After Wukou introduced her, she was Wukou's mother. In addition, there were the servants who served.
Chen Mo exchanged a few words with this woman. Neither of them liked to talk, so the conversation could be said to have ended before it even started. In Chen Mo's view, this woman did not have the kind of mother-in-law who is the head of the family.
His aura is approachable, no, it can be said to be timid.
The banquet was casual and rich, and it was indeed the work of a wealthy family. Moreover, Chen Mo was eating the dishes on the table, while Wukou and his son had already eaten, so they only took a few symbolic bites.
After the meal, it was Wu Kou who talked about the affairs in Changjing City, saying that he had to take him for a walk. As for Wu Ling'er, he didn't mention a word.
"Kou'er, please chat slowly with Mr. Chen. Mom is a little tired, so she will go back to rest first." The woman stood up and said goodbye. "Mr. Chen, eat slowly."
"Madam, go slowly." Chen Mo stood up and saw her off.
Wukou's mother left the scene accompanied by her maid, and not long after, Wukou dismissed all the remaining servants, leaving Wukou and Chen Mo alone in the attic.
"When will your sister come to see me?" Chen Mo asked very rudely, as if he was their master, but Chen Mo asked this deliberately, instead of asking: When will I go to see your sister?
They are both "meetings", but changing the order means two different meanings.
The reason why Chen Mo asked this was because when Wu Ling'er gave him the jade pendant, he did not say that he was going to the Wang Mansion to find him, but that he came to the Wu Mansion, which meant that this was the place to meet.
"I don't know. My sister will come back when she wants. She will never tell her family. But, since you showed up, I think she will come back soon. After all, she is a princess, so traveling will always be inconvenient."
Wukou poured wine into Chen Mo's cup.
This wine was indeed delicious, and Chen Mo felt like he couldn't stop drinking it. However, the martial arts warriors noticed Chen Mo's bold behavior and said: This wine is suitable for slow tasting. Although I can't taste much difference, after all, this is
My sister gave it to me. It's very precious and I have to drink it slowly.
"Anyway, you will be staying in this Wu Mansion during this period. Before you came, I had already asked someone to clean up the guest room for you. When you came, I also assigned you a full-time maid and servant.
..."
"I don't need those. I'm not used to being waited on."
"Yes, yes, whatever you say is what you ask them to do. You are not familiar with the place. If I am not at home, you can order them. You always need to prepare something. With them
It’s very convenient, so just be patient and patient.”
"Oh, by the way, give you this?" Wu Kou took out a waist card and gave it to Chen Mo. "Take this, your status in this family will be equal to mine, and it will be easier to do things."
Various generous conditions were offered to Chen Mo so that Chen Mo would not have any ties to him.
"Do you think I am a provider of panacea?" Chen Mo gave him a roll of his eyes. According to his wishes, he will stay here for a long time until his sister's illness is cured.
"Brother, brother, you are my sister's only hope. You don't know that everything I have now is given to me by my sister, so I will do whatever it takes to cure my sister's illness."
"At all costs? Including preparing to put me under house arrest and use it as medicine for your sister?" Chen Mo said abruptly while drinking wine.
"Chen Mo...Brother, why do I find that your words are so annoying?" Wu Kou lightly patted the table. "Okay, I admit, the moment my sister changed that day, I did have this
idea."
"I just scared you, and you admitted it."
"Of course, I think it's better to be honest in front of you. If I really do that, I won't be sure to keep you. Besides, you call me sister and senior sister," Wukou said with a smile.
"I'm just surprised. Why did you become brothers and sisters? My sister has never had a master. Tell me." Wukou's curiosity arose.
"Since your sister didn't tell you, don't even think about knowing it from me."
"Okay, okay, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. This is what my sister taught me. By the way..." Wu Kou looked around. Everyone had been removed by him and he was still worried about someone eavesdropping.
"No one." Chen Mo said calmly.
"By the way, can you find a better way to heal my sister?"
"Yes, and there are two of them." Chen Mo didn't hide it.
"That's great." Wukou said excitedly, "Tell me how we should repay you."
"No need, it's enough to meet a senior sister." Chen Mo didn't have any requirements. He didn't care about money or rights. As for women, he definitely wanted to have a family. If he didn't even care about women, then he was still with a man.
, but he is more serious.
"You, like my sister, are always invisible to others. Is it because of the lineage of masters? You are so good at reaching out, but my sister doesn't know martial arts? Could it be that my sister is not talented enough, so my sister's master
Killed you?" Wu Kou muttered to himself.
Maybe he is the "stupid" person, Chen Mo thought mockingly to himself.
...
A fast horse came out of Changjing and galloped towards the place where Prince Wuyou's Mansion was located outside the city.
The gatekeeper of the palace looked at the speeding horse and the person jumping off the horse. He recognized the waiter and asked, "It's so late. What's the urgent matter?"
The visitor calmed down and said, "My young master has something to give to the princess. I wonder if the princess is resting?"
"Come in with me."
In the study room of the palace, Wu Ling'er was reading a geography miscellany by the light of a candle lamp, and King Wuyou was pondering the scriptures brought back by the princess.
The people from the Wang Palace arrived at the door of the study with the people who came from the Wu Palace and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess, there are people from the Wu Palace."
"Young man, I have met the prince and the princess." The visitor knelt down at the door and bowed.
"Get up." The prince's voice was soft.
When Princess Wu Ling'er saw someone coming from her parents' house, her face under the black gauze curled up.
"It's so late, why did my brother-in-law ask you to come here? Could it be that you're going to the city to have a drink with me?" the prince said wittily.
"This... is not..." the visitor said awkwardly: "My young master has something to give to the princess."
"Bring it here." Wu Ling'er said. M.
"Oh, it's not my thing." The prince sighed, looking a little jealous.
Come on, give the things to Wu Ling'er and then push them out of the study.
"Isn't this your jade pendant? Didn't you say you gave it away? Why did it come back? Who is so disrespectful?" The prince looked at the jade pendant in Wu Ling'er's hand and said.
Wu Ling'er looked at the jade pendant and smiled without saying a word.
