The news that Nangong Huai took Xiao Qianning and Xiao Yuewu back to Nangong's house naturally couldn't be hidden. Fortunately, Nangong Huai has not yet arrived home in a daze, and he still knows how to pull a fig leaf. It was taken back as Meng's nephew and niece, although everyone knew the facts, although Meng's two sons didn't treat these two cousins as nothing.

In fact, the consequences of this kind of thing are originally big or small, and the comparison is who has more weight in His Majesty's heart, and who is more shameless. If this kind of thing happened to an ordinary second- or third-grade official, needless to say, he would have been crazy by that group of imperial historians a long time ago. Even if the emperor thinks it's not a big deal in his heart, in order not to be annoyed to death by those imperial histories, he has to pinch this criminal to death.

But Nangong Huai is still a little different, he is one of the few remaining founding fathers. The emperor would never dispose of him for such a private matter. At this time, everyone applauded, but in the future, no one in the history books may think that this is the emperor trying to eradicate the heroes and make a big fuss. In a word, Nangong Huai is now a small part of the precarious reputation of His Majesty the Emperor. As long as Nangong Huai does not rebel and does not violate the emperor's bottom line, the emperor will not take him lightly.

When the news reached the Jingjiang County Palace, Nangong Mo was leaning against Wei Junmo to read the account books. Wei Gongzi can be regarded as both civil and military, but he is extremely impatient with things like account books. In the past, there was no way, even if there was a Lin Changfeng to help, many things still inevitably needed to be seen by himself. Now that he has a daughter-in-law who is good at managing money, Wei Gongzi suddenly feels that life is much better. It's a pity that Nangong Mo doesn't want him to be chic and comfortable, as long as he is fine, he grabs and reads the account book together. Even if Wei Junmo didn't see a word in his eyes at all, he had to stare at it.

In the past two days, Wei Shizi has created a benefit for herself, and when the lady looks at the account book carefully, she will not pay attention to whatever he does, as long as it does not exceed her bottom line. So, Wei Shizi asked the two to read a booklet together, and it was very pleasant to hug and hug by the way.

Miss! Mama Lan hurriedly came in, and when she saw the appearance of the two, she hurriedly lowered her head and wanted to exit. Nangong Mo raised his hand and slapped someone's hand away, sat up and said, "Mama Lan, what's wrong?" Mama Lan gritted her teeth and said: Back to the princess, the old man will bring those two... The boy girl took it back to the house. Mama Lan endured it for a long time, and finally didn't spit out the word wild seed.

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and thought about it, turned around and asked Wei Junmo, you say, is this time true love?

Wei Shizi thought for a moment and said, "This time... Maybe it is. It's not that you can't do such a brainless thing, and you won't be held by someone like the Zheng family again, right? If Nangong Huai was so easy to be caught, he didn't know how many times he had died. Nangong Mo nodded, and said lightly: Take it back, take it back, that's what my eldest brother should worry about.

But! The old man said that those two... It's Miss's nephew and niece! Thinking of this, Mama Lan was so angry that she wanted to shed tears, where is the shameless sister of Miss, where is the nephew and niece?! Miss has passed away for so many years, and the lord still practices her like this, if there is really a spirit in the sky, how can Miss be at peace.

Nephews, nieces? Nangong Mo's face sank, and the teacup he had just picked up in his hand slammed to the ground. The frightened girls at the door turned pale, and hurriedly lowered their heads and didn't dare to look inside. Wei Junmo reached out to hold her plain hand, and said softly: What are you doing so angry? You're not happy, I'll let you go......

Nangong Mo shook his head and sneered: I'm afraid that he doesn't just want to abuse his mother, but wants to use me, right?

Mama Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss, what do you say?"

Nangong Modao: Mother's nephews and nieces are not my own brothers and cousins? Now that he is living in our house, can I still care about my cousin if there is something to ask for? That Xiao Qianning, Xiao Yuewu is also at an age, it's time to marry a wife and get married, Qiao Feiyan is now punished by His Majesty for copying books, and she can't come out for ten or eight years. Isn't it just that she came out, whose clan woman is willing to pay attention to her reputation?

Sir, this is... Sir, this is... Mama Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and it took a long time before she said: Miss and the two sons are the flesh and blood of the master. How can anyone calculate their own girls like this for the sake of two wild seeds. Miss, you must not get involved in this matter. So what is Qiao Feiyan's reputation? Can her children be good? If it's good, it's fine, and if there is any fault in the future, it will also bring the reputation of the young lady. People will only say that the young lady knows that the family is not a thing, but she insists on pulling the strings to harm other people's sons and young ladies.

Nangong Mo smiled: Mama, don't worry, I don't like to be a matchmaker. By the way, Mama turned around and took the time to go back and take a look, and told the girl of Jichangyuan, those two dared to step into Jichangyuan, you are welcome, you will beat me to death, I will bear it if something happens. Mama Lan wiped her tears and said: It should be like this, let the child surnamed Qiao enter the Chang Garden, and it will not defile the good garden.

After saying a few words, Nangong Mo's mood also improved, and he leaned back on Wei Junmo and asked, "Mama, you have been with my mother all your life, do you know what happened at the beginning?"

Mama Lan nodded, a trace of disgust appeared on her slightly frowning face, and said: The old slave has followed Miss since he was a child, so he naturally knows.

Tell me about it.

It's Miss. Mama Lan thought for a while before she spoke: That Qiao Feiyan was originally the daughter of the young lady's cousin, her uncle, and her daughter, but she lost her father and mother before she was five years old, and she was taken back by her uncle to take care of her. Although our Meng family has a large population, there has always been not much bloodline. When it came to Miss's generation, there were only three young masters and young ladies. There are also more men and fewer women in the side branch family, so Miss and Qiao Feiyan often played together when they were young......

Originally, it was nothing, even if the two little girls who grew up together did not say that they were close enough to eat and sleep together because of their different personalities, the sisterhood would not be bad. It's just that it was a troubled time at that time, and now His Majesty has raised troops to fight for the world. When Meng was sixteen years old, His Majesty's army happened to hit the place where Meng's family was. The Meng clan has long been tired of the turmoil of the past hundred years, and feels that His Majesty does have the ability and ambition to dominate the world, so they naturally help each other. It's just that in that chaotic world, there are still soldiers and horses and force to speak and count. His Majesty valued the prestige of the Meng family in Jiangnan, so he thought of marriage.

His Majesty, that is, the king of Xia at that time was already over the age and was not confused, and he had a deep relationship with Princess Xia, so naturally he did not have this meaning, and the prince of Xia, who is now the prince, has also married. With the status and prestige of the Meng family, the eldest lady of the Meng family must not be a concubine or marry someone who is not in the stream. So I thought of a few young generals in the army at that time. At that time, the candidate was naturally not just Nangong Huai, there were many famous generals in the world that year, and there were still a few young and promising generals. Originally, the Meng family did not make a decision, and in the end, Nangong Huai personally came to the door to ask for marriage, and dragged Princess Xia to intercede. The Meng family also carefully considered Nangong Huai's character, ability, and the relationship between King Xia, etc., before agreeing.

Nangong Huai's age is the youngest among the heroes who were crowned the Duke of the Kingdom in Great Xia, but his military exploits are quite amazing. Among them, the battle that really made Nangong Huai establish the prestige of a famous general was in Jiangnan Nangong Huaizhi annihilated 110,000 Northern Yuan Qiyu, and became famous in the world. Nangong Huai's talent for war is obvious, but if Nangong Huai is not the son-in-law of the Meng family, if there is no Meng family to help him with all his might, I am afraid that the battle will not be so brilliant. Nangong Huai's reputation is growing, and he also respects the Meng family, and everyone in the Meng family also relaxes and feels that they have not chosen the wrong son-in-law.

But no one knows when Nangong Huai hooked up with Qiao Feiyan. When Nangong Huai suddenly asked Naqiao Feiyan to be the side room, Meng was pregnant with Nangong Hui. The Meng family naturally disagreed, the Meng family used poetry to pass on the family, and since the man was thirty years old, he could only take a concubine to pass on the incense, and this concubine had to be selected by the wife. At that time, Nangong was not more than twenty-seven years old, her eldest son was already two years old, and her wife was still pregnant with one in her belly. What's more, when Nangong Huai married Meng, he swore that he would never take a concubine unless he was thirty childless.

At that time, Great Xia had already opened the country, although the world had not yet been assessed, but His Majesty had already ascended the throne, and Nangong Huai was also one of the several princes canonized by His Majesty. But in the end, because of the opposition of the Meng family and the dislike of the queen, Qiao Feiyan was not accepted as a concubine. Qiao Feiyan was even almost executed by the queen. After that, Qiao Feiyan's whereabouts were unknown, and it didn't take long to hear that she was married to a cousin of Her Majesty. That county king of Huaning was not a very important person in the first place, but he was just a county king by virtue of his blood relationship with His Majesty. At that time, the world was determined to be prosperous, and no one paid attention to them, so Qiao Feiyan followed the king of Huaning County to Liangzhou, and there was no news from him since.

It's just that since then, the relationship between Nangong Huai and the Meng family has plummeted. After that, the Meng family was wiped out because of the remnants of the Han Dynasty and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and two years later, when the Meng family was pregnant with Nangong Mo, Nangong Huai once again brought back a Zheng family. This time, Meng Shi didn't say a word, and from then on he was a stranger to Nangong Huai.

No one could have imagined that after more than ten years, Nangong Huai and Qiao Feiyan would still be in contact. Now that Qiao Feiyan's husband has just died, Nangong Huai wants to marry a wife, and even ignores the Zheng family and his beloved daughter Nangong Shu, who have been favored for more than ten years.

After listening to Mama Lan's words, Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled: If it is really affectionate, if it is not fulfilled by them, wouldn't it seem that I am ruthless?

Mama Lan didn't speak, and the eldest lady's words could be heard by anyone who came to hear the malice.

The princess is coming. Outside the door, the maid respectfully greeted him. Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo also hurriedly got up, and sure enough, they saw Princess Changping walking in from outside. Glancing at the situation in the room, Princess Changping said with a smile: Flawless is angry about the affairs of the Duke of Chu?

Nangong Mo said with a smile: Mother is serious, but she is just listening to Mama Lan's jokes.

Princess Changping sighed, waved her hand and said: This Duke of Chu... I used to think it was an understanding, but it seems to have become more and more confused over the years. Don't be angry with those people, no matter what, your eldest brother and second brother are the rightful heirs of the Duke of Chu. Those two...... After thinking about it, Princess Changping said: I came here, I really have something to ask you.

Nangong Mo said with a smile: Mother has something to order.

Princess Changping said: My father invited me into the palace, and complained in front of me that Qiao's mother and son were in turmoil. However, if the father personally ordered to punish them, it would inevitably give them some face, and the three concubines would not be able to do such a good job. Just let me watch and deal with it. But... After I came back, I thought about it carefully, and my father is afraid that this matter is not to be dealt with by me, but to be bothered by you. Princess Changping has always cared about outside affairs, even if the princess has to come forward, there is also a princess Lingyi with a more suitable temperament. Princess Changping thought about it seriously for a long time before she figured out that the reason why her father handed over this matter to her was because her daughter-in-law was the daughter of the Duke of Chu.

Although the married aunt and grandmother are not good at interfering in the affairs of their parents' family, if they make too much trouble, they can still be beaten.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said with interest: What does my mother want me to do?

Princess Changping said: My father doesn't want to care about them, and Hengzhu has been turned into a concubine, and he can't be considered a royal person. As long as they don't rely on their royal status to do anything to ruin the reputation of the royal family, as for the rest, they will do it flawlessly, if they don't tell their mother, their mother will make the decision for you.

Nangong Modao: So, won't any royal family members come out to support them?

It's natural. The royal family is not stupid, I don't know how to look at my father's face. Princess Changping said with a smile.

Nangong Mo pursed her lips and smiled, I understand, please rest assured that the princess is.

Princess Changping nodded, took out a bright yellow scroll from her sleeve and handed it over: This is the secret decree of my father, bring it to the two brothers and sisters without flaw. Nangong Mo opened it and saw that it was the emperor's secret decree to deprive Xiao Qianning and Xiao Yuewu of their surnames. Since it is a secret purpose, it naturally cannot be made public. I can only let the person who receives the order read it for himself, and then obediently changes his surname.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, Mother, why do I think His Majesty is pheating me? After Xiao Qianning and Xiao Yuewu were deprived of their surnames, according to my father's attitude towards the mother and son, it was hard to say that they would not be given the surname Nangong. The Nangong family is not a big family, but there is no clan, patriarch and the like. Nangong Huai is the patriarch, what does he want to do, Nangong family is really difficult for anyone to live in.

Princess Changping covered her lips and smiled: "My father said, what are the surnames of the brothers and sisters, it depends on your ability." Anyway, they can't be surnamed Xiao, otherwise the next time something happens, he will even copy the entire Nangong family. Nangong Mo shrugged, and accepted the emperor's secret decree.

Princess Changping said a few words and left, leaving Nangong Mo with the secret decree in his hand and looking up and down curiously. It was the first decree she had ever seen, and it was such an interesting decree that she couldn't wait to see what her father's expression was when he heard it. But this matter is not in a hurry, presumably those two are not so idiots and are still running out to swagger around at this time, right?

After finishing for a while, he casually put the holy decree on the table, Nangong Mo looked up at Wei Junmo and asked, "You say, what do you mean by your majesty handing over this matter to my mother?" Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows and said: It's nothing, and not everything has to be justified. Maybe he looked at Nangong Huai for a while, and wanted you to rectify him. However, if you want to rely on this matter to make Nangong Huai, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. Since so many officials and imperial historians impeached Nangong in court did not do anything about Nangong Huai, what happened later was even more impossible. However, Wufang and Nangong Huai should not have such a deep hatred.

That's right. Nangong Mo nodded, I don't have a blood grudge against Nangong, I just don't like him... I just want to have fun. Even if there is a deep feud in the sea of blood, the matter of killing Nangong Huai cannot be done by Nangong Mo. In this world, filial piety is very important, and there is a saying that there are parents in the world. In the eyes of readers, no matter what their parents do wrong, children cannot be unfilial. Even, if the father rebels, the son and daughter denounce it. Even if it is a righteous annihilation, in the end, it is still necessary to put a son against the father for the crime of unfilial piety, and be scolded by the world.

Tomorrow, I'll go and help His Majesty pass the decree. She wanted to see if the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family who had lost their surnames would have the surname Qiao or Nangong.

I'll go with you. Wei Junmo said softly.

All right.

In the Mansion of the Duke of Chu, Xiao Qianning sat on the side drinking tea, and Xiao Yuewu stood on the side and danced. The pretty face turned out to be dissatisfied and resentful.

Big brother, what do you mean by them? Let us live in such a remote place! Xiao Yuewu gritted her teeth and said, a small courtyard requires two of them to live. Not only is the place remote, but at first glance, you can tell that it is an uninhabited courtyard, and even if it is clean, it looks deserted. Not to mention, the furnishings in the courtyard were not as good as the small courtyard they lived in the capital before. That Lin! Clearly deliberate!

Xiao Qianning's expression was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: What can we do now to send people under the fence?

Xiao Yue danced and said: I'll go and sue Sù Niang, let Niang tell Chu Guogong!

Xiao Qianning said: Now my mother can't even enter the Mansion of Chu State, what's the use? Do you think that if your mother can't enter the mansion all the time, Chu Guogong will always be so good to your mother?

So what to do?! Xiao Yuewu said irritably.

Xiao Qianning frowned and said: I said at the beginning that Chu Guogong is not reliable at all. As long as my mother can keep it for my father for a few years, let's go to Beijing and ask for a few uncles to intercede in front of His Majesty. No matter how bad it is, when I pass the Jinshi exam next year, I will get better. You didn't listen, now come and ask me?

Xiao Yuewu was unconvinced, and snorted lightly: What kind of temper is Your Majesty, haven't you heard of it? Have you ever heard of someone who has been robbed of his title and who can be restored? What's more... What if you don't pass the exam next year? She is seventeen years old, do you have to wait for her eldest brother to fight slowly? She had never lived a life of poverty, and she couldn't afford to wait. Although the Duke of Chu is one level worse than the title of the king of Huaning, it is better than their mother, daughter, brother and sister living alone.

Let alone... Didn't you object to it at the beginning? It's not that you want the Duke of Chu to give you some help. Xiao Yuewu glanced at her eldest brother and muttered in a low voice: Didn't Chu Guogong say yesterday that he would send you to Guozijian to study in a few days. Even if you can't get into the Jinshi next year, you can still find a good position for you.

Xiao Qianning's sword eyebrows were deeply locked, and he was silent. What he considered was naturally different from his sister, he used to be the prince of the county, and his surname was Xiao. The former royal family relatives can only live in the Chu State Mansion in the name of boarding residence, and her mother's reputation is so bad, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch in the officialdom in the future.

Xiao Yuewu whispered in his ear and laughed: Big brother, don't worry. Chu Guogong didn't seem to like the brothers Nangong Xu and Nangong Hui either. When the future mother becomes the Duchess of Chu, it is not certain who the future Duke of Chu will be.

Xiao Qianning glanced at her sideways thoughtfully, Xiao Yuewu ignored him and stood up and said: I don't care, my father is no longer here, we can't live a long time. I must be an upright daughter of the Duke of Chu. I'm going to find the Duke of Chu... Well, Uncle Nangong.

Xiao Qianning frowned, what are you going to do with him?

Xiao Yuewu said: Ask him to change the yard for us. Such a remote small courtyard is not as good as a place for people to live, it must have been deliberately arranged by Nangong Xu and Nangong Hui.

Xiao Qianning thought about it, stood up and said: I'll go with you.

Xiao Yuewu hooked her brother's arm and said happily: I just heard that there is a big empty garden in this Chu State Mansion, and its name is Jichang Garden, which is beautiful. It's where Nangong Mo lived before he got married, I want to live there!

------Off topic------

Ahem! These things are swollen and I can't finish writing.,I'm going to develop the plot! I really want to stuff these slags back and pinch them again. Okay, I'll do my best to clean up the scum
