Chapter 143 Wu Kuo (1)

When Yunqing woke up, it was already dawn, and after seeing that there was no one around, he quickly got up and went out, and asked Mother Lan who was outside: "Where are the madam and the girl?"

Mother Lan said: "Madam was afraid of disturbing the general, so she carried the eldest girl to the study to sleep. General, don't worry, the eldest girl is fine." There is no bed in the study, but there is a wooden couch.

Yun Qing said: "Nonsense..." After finishing speaking, he was ready to go to the study.

Mother Lan hurriedly stopped her and said, "General, Madam just closed her eyes just now." If Yun Qing passed by like this, he would definitely wake Yu Xi up.

Yun Qing paused, and said: "Is Madam okay?" Don't worry about the children, the adults are tired again.

Mother Lan shook her head and said: "Madam is just tired, you'll be fine if you take a good rest." It's also Madam who must do it herself, if you leave the eldest girl to them, you won't be so tired.

His wife and children are fine, so Yunqing stopped being entangled, and went out again after eating breakfast. The recruits will arrive in these two days, and there are many things to deal with.

When Yuxi heard the cry of the child in her sleep, she woke up with a jolt. After getting up, he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Zao Zao? Did you have a fever again?"

Mother Lan shook her head and said, "Young lady is hungry."

After hearing this, Yuxi was a little speechless, but she was not in a hurry to feed the child, but went to take a bath first. After bathing, I fed the milk to Zao Zao who was so weak from crying.

As soon as he finished feeding his milk, Han Dong went out to see him.

Yu Xi accepted the post from Han Dong, and seeing that the name of Wu Kuo was written in the invitation post, she was a little puzzled at the moment, she didn't know anyone with the surname Wu. Before Yuxi could ask questions, Han Dong handed Yuxi another letter: "Madam, this is a letter from the Duke." Without this letter, it would be impossible for him to send the invitation to Yuxi. Hee's hand.

Yuxi was still very familiar with Han Jianming's handwriting, and seeing that it was really written by Han Jianming, she immediately opened it. In the letter, Han Jianming said that this Wu Kuo is a child of the Wu family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. If Yuxi can't find a suitable candidate, he can consider this Wu family.

Han Jianming knew Yuxi's temperament, if she was asked to directly use the Wu family, Yuxi might not be willing, so he gave Yuxi the right to choose. Han Jianming believes that as long as Yuxi's request is met, Wu Kuo is still very likely to get this job.

After reading the letter, Yu Xi asked after a moment of silence: "The Wu family, the richest man in Jiangnan, I heard someone mention it when I was socializing, but I didn't know much about it. Tell me about the situation of the Wu family." I have heard of this Wu family, but she has nothing to do with the Wu family, so naturally she will not treat him according to the situation of the Wu family.

Han Dong is a man who manages a shop outside, so why hasn't he heard of the Wu family: "Madam should know the Wang family, the richest man in the capital. This Wu family is similar to the Wang family. Some people joked that Nan Wu and Bei Wang." After a pause, he said: " In fact, the business of the Wu family is bigger than that of the Wang family. The Wu family operates businesses such as rice grains, medicinal materials, restaurants, silks and satins, and jewelry.” In simple words, as long as it is a very profitable business, there is a shadow of the Wu family.

The Wu family didn't know the details, but the Wang family's Yuxi knew it very well. Back then, Qiu Yanfu almost became the concubine of the young master of the Wang family. Yuxi asked: "Is the Wu family an imperial merchant?" If it is an imperial merchant, why hasn't she heard of it.

Han Dong shook his head and said: "The Wu family was an imperial merchant 30 years ago, but they were disqualified later. After a few years, they got up again. Later, for some unknown reason, the Wu family did not become an imperial merchant." The emperor returned the bull.

After hearing this, Yu Xi felt that the Wu family was quite interesting: "Is this Wu Kuo the son of the head of the Wu family?"

Han Dong said: "Madam, this Wu Kuo is the eldest son of Wu Meng, the head of the Wu family."

Yu Xi was taken aback, and asked: "You said this Wu Kuo is the eldest son of the Patriarch of the Wu family? Now that the world is so corrupt, this Patriarch of the Wu family is actually assured that the eldest son will come to such a dangerous place in Yucheng?" Is it too reassuring? ,

Whether to let it go or not is up for consideration.

Han Dong said: "I haven't heard much about the eldest son of the Wu family before, but Wu Qian, the second son of the Wu family, is very famous. It is said that he is born to do business." Seeing that Yu Xi was very interested, he continued : "Wu Qian was an apprentice in a shop at the age of six, started to learn business at the age of eight, and managed a shop at the age of ten. The business he managed was very good. Many people know Wu Qian's name, but they don't know Wu Kuo. name."

Yu Xi smiled when she heard this analysis. The situation of Wu Kuo and Wu Qian is very similar to that of her and Yuchen. The world only knows that there is a third girl from the Han family who is extremely talented and looks like a fairy, but who has heard of her, the fourth girl. The only difference is that Wu Kuo is the eldest son, and Wu Qian is the second son, and it is the same. As the eldest son, Wu Kuo will be under more pressure. Yuxi smiled and said: "Tell him, the eldest girl is sick, I don't have time to see him, let him come back later!"

Han Dong went down in response.

Yuxi thought for a while, called Mama Lan and Mama Qu, and asked them: "Have you heard of the Wu family, the richest man in Jiangnan?"

Mother Lan shook her head, she was very good at taking care of the children, but she didn't know about the outside affairs.

Qu's mother knew more things, and when she heard Yu Xi's question, she immediately said: "If I remember correctly, the mistress of the Wu family is the cousin of the Yu family." Wu Meng's mother-in-law is Yu Xiang's cousin . This relationship is actually very close.

Yuxi laughed and said, "No wonder!" No wonder the Wu family can rise so quickly and quickly become the richest household in the south of the Yangtze River. It turns out that they have found the Yu family as their backer! You must know that the Yu family has become the most prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River because of the big man Yu Xiang.

That night, Yuxi told Yun Qing about this matter: "The Wu family has strong financial resources, and it would be great to cooperate with them. However, there is just one problem."

Yun Qing asked, "What's the trouble?"

Yu Xi said: "The support of the Wu family is the Yu family. I am worried that I will be constrained by the family at that time." Yu Xi is not willing to be controlled by others.

Yun Qing said with a smile: "Even if the Wu family's backer is the Yu family, it doesn't matter. They dare not play tricks on this important military matter. Otherwise, they will have to kill everyone." Yuxi is good at everything, but there is one thing that is not good. Heavy.

Yuxi nodded and said: "Then I'll meet this Wu Kuo in a couple of days to see what his attitude is." From the perspective of interests, it is naturally best to cooperate with such a person with strong financial resources. However, you still need to keep your eyes open.

Yun Qing hummed, and said: "The Wu family can be entrusted with the errand of grain and grass, but they cannot be entrusted with the errand of medicinal materials."

Yuxi actually had other ideas in her mind: "Herui, I want to do the business of medicinal materials myself." The profit of medicinal materials is greater than that of rice.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "No, this business of medicinal materials is no joke. Although you understand medicinal materials, others don't. If you buy fake medicines, it will not be as simple as losing money." Another point Yunqing didn't say, that is, once she started the medicine business, Yuxi would be very busy, and Yunqing didn't want Yuxi to be too tired.

Yuxi thought for a while and said: "If the medicine business is not successful, let's open a medicine shop in Yucheng!" The doctor sent to him by his elder brother didn't just sit idle in the mansion.

With a ready-made doctor and opening a pharmacy, Yunqing naturally would not object. As long as Yuxi didn't do the work himself, he didn't have any objections.

The next day, Wu Kuo received an invitation from Yunfu. Looking at the invitation in his hand, Wu Kuo did not smile, but fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Wu Shun, the personal entourage beside him, asked, "Master, it's a good thing that the Yunfu sent an invitation card, why are you still so unhappy!"

Wu Meng came back to his senses, put down the invitation, and said: "It may not be a good thing." This Han family is not a simple woman. He has to be fully prepared, or he will definitely suffer.

Yuxi hugged her jujube to bask in the sun in the yard. This was also Mama Lan's suggestion, saying that it is a good thing for a child to bask in the sun once in a while. As for the reason, Mother Lan couldn't say why, she only said that it was good for the child.

It's just to bask in the sun, not to take medicine, so Yuxi listened. But it's going to be hot, even if you take the baby out to bask in the sun, it will only be half an hour in the morning.

Licorice came in and told Yuxi that Huo Changqing missed Zaozao, and hoped that Yuxi could let someone hold Zaozao and show him to the front yard.

Yuxi handed the restless jujube in her arms to Mama Lan, and said, "Uncle Huo is a big man, carelessness is inevitable, you should take care of it." It's hard to say Huo Changqing, so I can only tell Mama Lan.

Not long after Zao Zao carried her out, Han Dong walked in and said, "Ma'am, Uncle Wu is waiting outside."

Yuxi hummed, and said, "Take him to the living room in the front yard, and I'll go there later." Not everyone can come in the backyard.

After changing her clothes, Yuxi took Zijin to the front yard. As soon as he walked into the main hall, he saw people standing in the living room. I saw that this man was wearing an ice blue robe with elegant bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on it, and a jade belt around his waist; his eyebrows grew into his temples, his slender and gentle eyes, his straight nose bridge, and his fair skin belonged to Jiangnan. The delicate whiteness of the human body, and the lips are as rosy as if painted with rouge.

Wu Kuo was also very surprised when he saw Yuxi. He had also been to the capital. Although the girls in the north were taller than the girls in the south, it was the first time he saw such a tall woman. Seeing Yuxi salute: "I've seen Mrs. Yun."

Yu Xi smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Wu, has anyone ever told you that you are beautiful." Beauty is generally used to describe women. In fact, although Wu Kuo is very handsome, he is not feminine. Here, Yuxi uses beautiful words to describe Wu Kuo, which means to despise him.

Wu Shun who came in with him turned dark when he heard this. This Mrs. Yun is too presumptuous. Although the Wu family is not an official family, their master is not something to be teased. Fortunately, Wu Shun still remembered his identity, but he didn't dare to speak with anger on his face

Wu Kuo smiled and said, "Thank you Madam Yun for your compliment."

Yuxi sat down gently, and said: "It's not a compliment, but telling the truth." This appearance, even in the capital, few people can match.

Wu Kuo was not annoyed, and said: "Looks are given by parents, whether they are beautiful or ugly, they are all gifts." There is no way, Wu Kuo is too old, and has inherited all the advantages of his parents.

Yuxi smiled lightly.
