222, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Chunhui Hall is the largest courtyard in the Yuzhao Garden, and although it is located a little further back, it occupies one-fifth of the entire courtyard. Not only in the courtyard, but also along the lakeside outside the courtyard, many peach trees are planted. The flowers bloom late in the north, and now only a few small buds can be seen on the peach trees, and the whole yard will be shrouded in brilliant peach blossoms in another ten days and half a month.
Walking into the courtyard, a girl immediately greeted her, "I've seen the princess, I've seen the princess." ”
Princess Changping was a little surprised, "It's all arranged?" ”
Nangong Mo smiled: "Isn't it? The people who waited were all personally selected by the prince of Changfeng, and some waiters were also trained. Today, I just want to ask my mother to see if there is anything she is not satisfied with, so I can teach them to change again. You can move in at any time. Princess Changping nodded with a smile and said: "Where is there anything dissatisfied, Changfeng has always been careful in handling affairs, and the palace is no longer satisfied." You have something to do, and you've bothered so much for me. Can I still wronged myself? ”
This is not Princess Changping's polite words, the whole courtyard is quiet and elegant, and every scene and thing is obviously arranged according to Princess Changping's preferences. Even the courtyard that has lived in Jinling for more than 20 years is afraid that it is not so in line with Princess Changping's wishes.
Nangong Mo smiled: "Mother is happy to live, Jun Mo and I can rest assured." ”
Princess Yan also smiled and sighed: "Flawless is right, this is the filial piety of Jun Mo's young couple, and the fifth sister is really a blessing." I'm thankful that the three of me can be half as attentive as Jun Mo and Flawless. Nangong Mo smiled: "Uncle said that the three cousins are naturally very filial to their uncle and aunt. ”
Chen, who was following behind, didn't speak, but listened with a faint smile on his face, but he could also see that the smile on his face was a little reluctant. I'm afraid that Princess Yan has beaten her a lot in the past two days, and at this time, she is in front of her and praises Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo for their filial piety, if the Chen family is a multi-minded person, it is inevitable that they will be cranky.
Princess Yan obviously wanted to dry this daughter-in-law, as if she didn't see her expression, she laughed with Princess Changping. Although Princess Changping and Nangong Mo saw it in their eyes, they were helpless, it was not good for outsiders to interfere in the affairs between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I only hope that Chen can understand earlier that she doesn't have the capital to work against her mother-in-law now.
Nangong Mo took a group of people to look at the entire garden, and Princess Yan and Princess Changping were full of praise. It's just that in the end, Princess Changping didn't like the name of Xizhao Garden, so she changed it to Qingmo Garden. And it was agreed to move in three days.
Back at King Yan's Mansion, Princess Yan waved away the Chen family who was following her and stopped talking, thought about it and turned around and went to the study in the front yard.
In the study, King Yan and Wei Junmo were sitting in the study discussing matters, I don't know what they were talking about, when Princess Yan went in, King Yan was still smiling angrily, glaring at Wei Junmo in front of him viciously. Wei Junmo didn't care at all, and sat calmly and calmly with a teacup. Princess Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter?" Is there anything you can't say well? Don't scare the kids. ”
King Yan snorted lightly, glanced at Wei Junmo angrily and said, "You let this kid say it himself!" ”
Princess Yan looked at Wei Junmo, Wei Junmo stood up and said helplessly: "Uncle, those things were originally given to me by you, what's wrong with giving them back to you now?" ”
It turned out that Wei Junmo was able to make a behemoth like Zixiao Hall within a few years when he entered the rivers and lakes at the beginning of that year, in addition to the abilities of Wei Junmo and Lin Changfeng, it was naturally inevitable that King Yan's financial support would be indispensable. Although the money given by King Yan can be regarded as ten times and a hundred times that of Wei Junmo over the years, in Wei Junmo's opinion, the industry of Zixiao Palace has a share of King Yan's mansion. Now that he doesn't plan to mix the rivers and lakes, this part will naturally have to be returned to Yanwangfu. But it is obvious that King Yan does not have the same idea as him, and he was already very guilty for letting his nephew go to the rivers and lakes when he was a teenager for the military expenses of Youzhou Wei. What's more, even if you don't count these, is it a big deal to do things for your nephew with the little money you have from your uncle? Wei Junmo calculated so clearly, it was clear that he didn't treat his uncle as a family.
King Yan snorted coldly: "So... In the past few years, Yan Wangfu has taken the silver taels from you, and I should also pay you back. I'm sorry, your uncle and I are very poor and can't afford it. ”
Wei Shizi is not a person with a good temperament, and he saw that his uncle couldn't make sense no matter what he said. Turned around and left, "Mother is back, I'll go and say hello to my mother." ”
"Stop!" King Yan picked up the box on the table and smashed it back directly, saying, "Get out!" I'm angry when I see you, take your stuff and fuck off! ”
Wei Junmo didn't look back, raised his hand and flicked it casually, and before the box touched him, he flew back, and it fell on the desk in front of King Yan. By the time King Yan came back to his senses, Wei Junmo's figure had already disappeared at the door of the study.
"Bastard boy!" King Yan was furious, and he couldn't wait to rush out immediately to grab Wei Junmo and beat him. Princess Yan stood aside and couldn't help but hide her lips and snicker, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" What do you do to scold Jun Mo? The fifth sister was sad to hear it. Even so, Princess Yan still sighed a little in her heart. Among the three Qianzhi brothers, even the most naughty Qian Jiong would never dare to make the prince so angry, and he was able to remain calm and calm. It's no wonder that the prince is so angry, the elders are like this, when he reprimands the juniors, there are too many juniors, if they are better or afraid, most of them will be a little angry. But if the younger generation is as calm as Jun Mo, he can't hold his breath and can't swallow it, isn't it going to be angry? But in addition to being angry, I am afraid that there is still a little more relief and joy.
King Yan sighed, took the box on the table in front of him and flipped through it, "You also know that I gave Jun Mo a sum of money when he went out to explore the rivers and lakes in the early years, and half of Youzhouwei's military expenses over the years came from him. Now he has given me half of his inheritance, and if this king takes it, I... Where does the uncle still have the face to meet the fifth sister? ”
Princess Yan also knew about this, a few years ago, King Yan took a full 100,000 taels and handed it over to Wei Junmo, who was only sixteen years old. If it is impossible to say that there is no opinion, Yan Wangfu watched

Impossible, the Yan Wangfu looks like a big business, but it is not an easy thing to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses with the power of the Yan Wangfu. Other vassal kings would more or less set up a separate name and add some taxes, or have any minerals in their fiefs. However, Youzhou is located in a barren and bitter cold land, and the life of the people is not easy, so King Yan naturally refuses to increase those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there are no minerals and the like. Yan Wangfu's own life is actually not more prosperous than that of ordinary powerful families. Therefore, when King Yan took 100,000 taels from the palace to his nephew at once, Princess Yan was still very uncomfortable.
But in the past few years, Wei Junmo has given how many silver taels to Yan Wangfu, although Princess Yan doesn't know the details, she also knows a little. It is also natural for Yan Wang to attach such importance to his nephew. It's just that I didn't expect Wei Junmo to be so generous, and he would give half of the industry he had worked hard for many years to Yanwangfu.
Princess Yan thought for a while and said, "The prince is angry, Jun Mo is also thinking about Yan Wangfu and you, but you are angry and scolding the child, doesn't it make Jun Mo have a good heart but end up?" "Since Wei Junmo plans to disband Zixiao Palace, there will naturally be no provenance for Youzhou Wei's military salary in the future. Wei Junmo gave these properties to Yanwangfu to help his uncle. King Yan was not only unhappy, but scolded him, didn't it make people feel bored.
King Yan sighed and said in a deep voice: "They all say that I'm a beloved nephew who is an uncle, but who knows... Over the years, there have been more places where our Yanwang Mansion has relied on Jun'er. This king has been in Youzhou all these years, what help can he give him except some silver at the beginning? This king is truly ashamed ......"
Princess Yan persuaded: "Now that Jun Mo and the fifth sister are in Youzhou, we couldn't take care of it in the past, but in the future, the prince will be better to Jun Mo." Jun Mo has also suffered a lot of anger in Jinling over the years, and now that he has arrived in Youzhou, is it difficult for the prince to be angry with him? ”
At the mention of this, King Yan's face became a little gloomy again. Nodding slightly, he said: "That's it, in the future, no one will dare to give Jun Mo and Changping a good deal with this king." King Yan stretched out his hand to cover the box containing the thick title deed documents, put it into the cabinet behind him with a solemn expression, and asked, "You came here at this time, what's the matter?" ”
Princess Yan nodded and said, "It's still for the marriage of Wei'er and Jiong'er." ”
King Yan frowned and said, "This king heard that you have been angry with the Chen family for the past two days?" "Although King Yan doesn't care about the internal affairs of King Yan's Mansion, but this is King Yan's Mansion in the end, and he will naturally know what he wants to know.
Princess Yan smiled helplessly and said, "What's angry, it's just a few words about her, and it's not a big deal." "Princess Yan doesn't want to speak ill of her daughter-in-law in front of the prince, not to mention that the affairs in the backyard don't have to bother the prince. If she can't even manage a daughter-in-law, she doesn't have to be the princess of Yan. King Yan said in a deep voice: "Isn't it a big deal? Is the marriage of Qian Wei and Qian Jiong a trivial matter? Chen's thoughts are not unknown to this king, if the father is still there, it would be okay to look at Chi'er's face and let her go, but now he can't let her come nonsense. ”
Princess Yan hurriedly said: "This concubine naturally understands that it is not her turn to call the shots about these things, and this matter is not thoughtful about the concubine's body." Please also ask the prince to calm his anger. ”
King Yan waved his hand and frowned, "What do you mean, this king understands, what this scholar comes out of is trouble." ”
Princess Yan couldn't help but smile and said: "The prince can't knock down a group of people with a rod, the daughter-in-law of Chi is a little high-minded, but she has never done anything bad in taking care of the affairs of the house on weekdays." What's more, Flawless and Sister Yuan Fei can also be regarded as from a scholar's family. King Yan was stunned and said slowly: "Anyway, you teach her well, don't think about your own things at this time." Learn more from Mo'er. ”
Princess Yan sighed and said, "How many women like Mo'er can compare? The fifth sister and Jun Mo are blessed, our family... Let's teach it slowly. I've been thinking about it these days, Qianwei's age is the same age as the eldest girl of the Xue family, and I've also seen that girl who is a sensible and obedient prince, what do you think? ”
"The Xue family?" King Yan frowned slightly and groaned.
Princess Yan nodded, "But the prince thinks it's not good?" ”
King Yan shook his head and said, "That's it, let's settle the Xue family." and Qianjiong is also set by kuài. ”
"Jiong'er, isn't..."Xiao Qianjiong is only fourteen years old, not that he can't get engaged, but he is younger.
King Yan waved his hand and said: "Settle early, rest assured, who knows what messy people will come over from Jinling at that time." ”
Princess Yan nodded, thinking that the prince was right, so she said, "Okay, I'll just look back." ”
Princess Yan set the matter of the eldest lady of the Xue family for Xiao Qianwei, and it soon spread throughout the entire Yan Palace. Princess Yan is also a cheerful and neat person, and she went to Xue's house in advance the next day, firstly, she was really in a hurry, and secondly, it was also to break Chen's thoughts.
These powerful people in Youzhou City are not like Jinling, they are all a big family, and there are no 180 people in the side of the lineage. The current head of the Xue family is Xue Zhen, and the people of the Xue family are also simple. Xue Zhen only has three sons and two daughters under his knees, one son and two daughters are born to his wife, and the other two concubines are only twelve years old and the other is only five years old. Princess Yan looked at Xiao Qianwei as Xue Yunyun, the eldest girl of the Xue family. The last time I talked to Nangong Mo in Yanwang Mansion was Xue Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the Xue family.
Hearing this news, Chen was naturally unhappy. Not to mention anything else, although Xue Yunyun's father Xue Zhen is not as good in the army as Zhu Hong and Chen Yu who have followed him since King Yan was a vassal member, he is also one of King Yan's henchmen, holding heavy troops. It's much better than himself, although his father is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but he can't help him thousands of miles away. In the future, Xue Yunyun will enter the Yanwang Mansion, and his status in this mansion will only be worse and worse than before.
But Chen's unhappiness obviously did not affect Princess Yan. Not only that, Princess Yan changed hands and carried a concubine under the command of King Yan into the door to make Xiao Qianchi a concubine. Immediately, Chen was scared and didn't dare to speak. She has been married to Yanwangfu for two years, and there is no news about her belly, and now Xiao Qianchi's only child is still a concubine born to the An family
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!
The concubine who was born. If the new concubine is pregnant again......
In fact, Princess Yan can be regarded as saving face for the Chen family. It's just that the master accepted a concubine of a small general for Xiao Qianchi, if Princess Yan was ruthless, she accepted a concubine in. Chen's life is just afraid that it will be really difficult. Princess Yan did this, just wanting to knock on the Chen family, hoping that this daughter-in-law would be clearer.
Nangong Mo's family of three moved to Qingmo Garden early, and naturally they didn't know much about these things in Yanwangfu. It was only when he accompanied Princess Changping to talk to Princess Yan that he saw Chen's face become even more haggard, and he was accompanied by a woman who had never seen him before to know these things in King Yan's mansion. I couldn't help but sigh a little in my heart, fortunately, Princess Changping didn't care much about her and Wei Junmo's affairs, and she had never stuffed people into her son's room like other mothers, otherwise she really couldn't live this day.
While Princess Changping and Princess Yan were talking, Nangong Mo was invited by the Chen family to the side hall to drink tea. Nangong Mo also guessed that the Chen family had something to say to him, although he was not very interested, he couldn't help but give the Chen family this face, so he had to retire with Princess Yan and go out with the Chen family.
Sitting in the side hall drinking tea, Nangong Mo glanced at the woman standing behind Chen with some curiosity. However, the young woman who was only fifteen or sixteen years old still had some girlish greenness and the shyness of a first-time wife on her face. looks not very outstanding, with a round face and a somewhat plump figure, which is about the kind that belongs to the eyes of the older generation. It seems that Princess Yan also has some complaints about Xiao Qianchi, and now there is only one concubine under her knees.
Chen glanced at the woman and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to wait here, you can step down." ”
"Yes, princess." The woman was well-behaved and turned to go down.
Nangong Mo drank tea calmly, waiting for Chen to speak. Chen looked at Nangong Mo in a daze for a long time, and then said, "I really envy my cousin-in-law." ”
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "Brother and sister, what are these words?" The younger brother and sister are the princesses of King Yan, and I don't know how many girls in Youzhou City are very envious. ”
Chen smiled bitterly, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I'm just looking at the scenery, where can I compare to my cousin......"
"Brother and sister, be cautious." Nangong Mo put down the teacup and looked at Chen Shi in a deep voice.
Chen Shi was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I'm just talking about it in front of you." ”
"......" What makes you think I look like a bosom sister?
Chen sighed: "My cousin is devoted to my cousin-in-law, and my aunt never cares about the affairs in my cousin's yard. I heard that until now, Wei Gongzi has not even seen a room around him, but I don't know how many people envy his cousin-in-law. ”
Nangong Mo was silent, if Chen's words were heard, she would still think that she didn't like Princess Yan to take care of the affairs in Xiao Qianchi's courtyard. Of course, she does mean this, and few daughters-in-law like mothers-in-law to take care of their husband's affairs, and even take concubines for their husbands. It's a pity that this world... That's it. It is a natural thing for a mother to take a concubine for her son, and no one can say wrong. Therefore, Nangong Mocai is very grateful to Princess Changping for never saying this, and she is more sincere and filial to Princess Changping.
Nangong Mo sighed and said, "It's just a matter of talking about my brother and sister here, my aunt is always for my cousin's good." ”
Chen said quietly: "I naturally know that the mother concubine is for the good of Qianzhi, but... The mother concubine is not only a son of Qianchi. ”
Nangong Mo had a headache, "Brother and sister, although people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries." But... It's not necessarily a good thing to think too far, even if Qianchi is afraid and won't be happy. ”
Chen looked at Nangong Mo in a daze. After a long time, he said, "I... I'm also for the good of the world. ”
Nangong Mo said: "Qianchi is not thin on his younger siblings, and it is natural for his younger siblings to think about him. It's just that... Some things are not right for you to do just for his good. ”
Chen was silent, and Nangong Mo didn't say anything more, and she could only say this if she could listen to it. She didn't know why Chen asked her to come out, but she couldn't give Chen a chance to open his mouth. She and Wei Junmo, as the cousins and sisters-in-law of Xiao Qianchi's three brothers, are still good not to interfere in many things.
