In the courtyard of Princess Yan, it was also very lively at this time. Some of the ladies in Youzhou City sat in the flower hall and talked with Princess Yan and Princess Changping. On the boundary of Youzhou, the most noble woman is naturally Princess Yan. Youzhou is located in a remote area, unlike the people in Jinling City, who have long been accustomed to seeing large and small dignitaries. Now that an eldest princess suddenly came, she was also the half-sister of His Royal Highness King Yan, and the nobles naturally came to flatter.

Looking at the eldest princess, although she is nearly forty years old, she is still beautiful and elegant, and she is extraordinary, which makes these noble ladies in Youzhou who are accustomed to the roughness of the north envious.

"I heard that the young lady also came with me, why didn't you see the young lady?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, all the ladies couldn't help but stop and looked at Princess Changping one after another. Princess Changping's only son was deeply valued by King Yan, and they had naturally heard of it. The people of the Northland are not as particular as Jinling, although Wei Gongzi is already married, but the position of the side room is not low? If you can rely on this to get in touch with the Yan Wangfu, even if you are a concubine, it is nothing. There are naturally not a few people who have this idea, and the generals under the command of King Yan are okay to say, especially those merchants who have no way to do it.

The girls present also secretly compared this Young Lady Wei with themselves in their hearts, not that they had any thoughts about Wei Junmo, but they had also heard of the name of the county lord of Star City. Proud women can't help but want to compare themselves to other good women.

Princess Changping naturally looked at the expressions of these people, and didn't say much, just smiled faintly and said, "The third brother is going to go to the study with Jun'er without flaws, so I'll come over in about a while." ”

Everyone was shocked again, His Royal Highness King Yan actually allowed Young Lady Wei to follow Young Master Wei into the study together, but I am afraid that even the princess does not have such an honor, right? Looking at Princess Yan and Princess Yan who were sitting on the side, their expressions were calm and calm, without the slightest displeasure at all.

"Princess Qiqi, princess. Wei Gongzi and the young lady came. Outside the door, the maid said respectfully.

Princess Yan put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile: "Let them come in." ”

The maid answered, and a moment later saw a pair of beautiful men walking in hand in hand. The man is cold and handsome, with a pair of purple eyes that make people dare not look directly, but his appearance is handsome and he can't bear to look away. Standing beside such a powerful man, the woman did not look dim at all. The beautiful and flawless face has a shallow smile, the eyebrows are lightly swept away, and the powder is not applied, but it still makes people feel like a slim and beautiful peony.

"Mother, aunt." The two stepped forward to salute.

Seeing that all the guests were amazed by the excellent appearance of the two, Princess Yan smiled and beckoned to Nangong Mo and said with a smile: "Mo'er, Jun Mo, come and sit down and talk." ”

Wei Junmo glanced at a room of female dependents, and said, "Uncle, Jun Mo still has something to do, so he will retire first." ”

Princess Yan nodded, the room was full of female dependents, and there were many unmarried girls from Yunying, and it was indeed a little inconvenient for Wei Junmo to stay, "That's it, you have to go and get busy beforehand." Mo'er, you can rest assured that you will not be bullied by me. Wei Junmo nodded slightly, glanced at Nangong Mo and said goodbye to Princess Yan and Princess Changping.

Wei Gongzi came and went just for a moment, but it made many people present breathe out for a while. Although His Royal Highness King Yan and Princess Changping are both excellent in appearance, the handsomeness of this prince of Wei Shizi is beyond many people's expectations. If the appearance is seven or eight points similar to Princess Changping, it will definitely look too delicate and not manly enough, but this Wei Gongzi is slender and straight, and the contour of his face is as hard and deep as a knife, which even makes people feel that the momentum is a little stronger than that of His Royal Highness King Yan.

Many of the girls present couldn't help but blush, and then secretly looked at Mrs. Wei Shao, who was sitting next to Princess Changping, and suddenly felt depressed. The young lady's appearance is no worse than that of Wei Gongzi, and her gestures are not as cowardly and twisted as the southern women who are not looked down upon by northern women, no matter how you look at it, she is an impeccable beauty.

"You have all seen it, this is the precious daughter-in-law of my fifth sister, have you ever seen such a beauty?" Princess Yan looked at everyone with a smile.

A group of ladies sighed and praised Princess Changping for her good fortune, and the young lady was both talented and beautiful. Many people have dispelled the thoughts that have just risen, with such a character and appearance, isn't it the fate of their own girl to send it over?

Princess Yan introduced Nangong Mo to several ladies who were sitting close to her one by one. Sure enough, they were all the family members of those people I saw in King Yan's study just now. Except for two of them, Youzhou commanded the envoy's wife and Youzhou's political envoy's wife. Fortunately, these two also know that their identities are embarrassing, and they are also very low-key.

Since he arrived in Youzhou City, he naturally had to deal with these people, and Nangong Mo also smiled and met these ladies one by one. Everyone saw that Nangong Mo was acting generously and well-mannered, without the slightest crampedness when he first arrived in Youzhou, and they looked at this young lady a few more times in their hearts.

After talking for a while, Princess Yan sent Nangong Mo and Chen to take the young girls and daughters-in-law out to play, leaving only a few elderly ladies to sit for two days. The Chen family was obviously very familiar with these ladies and ladies in Youzhou City, and led Nangong Mo out with a smile.

As soon as they left Princess Yan's sight, the young girls became lively. Most of them are young people in their teens and twenties, and the girls in the north are not as particular as Jiangnan who do not shake their skirts and smile without showing their teeth. It's just that in front of Princess Yan and Princess Changping, it is inevitable that they will be a little restrained, and at this time, they are suddenly a little active in front of the two.

Everyone was very curious about Nangong Mo, so they naturally surrounded her and the Chen family to ask questions. Although I haven't seen it, Nangong Mo can be regarded as a legend in the eyes of these northern ladies. Born in a famous family, but was abandoned by his father and brother to grow up in the countryside, and when he grew up, he was married to the son of Princess Changping by His Majesty, and was also named the county lord. I don't want to, it's not yet

Awarded the title of county lord. I don't want to think that it has been less than a year, and the new emperor has taken away the title of county lord, and he has traveled thousands of miles from the south of the splendid Jiangnan to this desolate and cold north.

Nangong Mo was not impatient, listening to Chen Shi smiling and talking to these girls about their curiosity, he also occasionally said a few words. Although these women also have all kinds of careful thoughts, most of them are on their faces. It's much cuter than those people in Jinling City who hide needles in their cotton and knives in their smiles.

"Less... Young lady. A girl dressed in red with a round face looked at Nangong Mo and said with some confusion. Nangong Mo looked at her and remembered that she was sitting next to Mrs. Xue, and immediately understood what she was thinking. He nodded with a smile and said, "Miss Xue." ”

The girl in red relaxed a little and said with a smile: "My name is Xue Xiaoxiao, if the young lady doesn't dislike it, just call me Xiaoxiao." ”

Nangong Mo nodded slightly and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you have anything to say?" ”

Xue Xiaoxiao quickly glanced at the people who were talking to Chen, and hurriedly whispered, "That... My eldest brother, my eldest brother has always loved to mess around, and I ask the young lady not to worry about him. Xue Xiaoxiao was also very embarrassed, and his eldest brother deserved to be rectified for doing such a thing. But seeing that the only brother who loved him was wilted like a frosted eggplant, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. In the past, the eldest brother was just a small fight, but who knew that this time he would actually provoke the nephew of His Royal Highness King Yan. Just looking at the tricks that Wei Gongzi can get along with and rectify the eldest brother, he knows that it is not an easy person. Xue Xiaoxiao felt that he should take the initiative to apologize to others.

Nangong Mo Yanran smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter, Miss Xue thinks too much." By the way, is Xue Gongzi okay? ”

Xue Xiaoxiao suddenly made a bitter face. She didn't know what it was like to drink more than a dozen cups of tea in one go, anyway, the eldest brother vomited when he saw the tea now. I was beaten severely by my father who heard the news, and now I can't get up from the bed.

"Also... Okay? ”

Nangong Mo smiled lightly, of course she knew what Xue Bin's situation was now. Just drinking some tea was a little uncomfortable at most, how could it be to the point of vomiting when you saw tea? However, looking at the little girl with a sad face in front of her, Nangong Mo smiled and said: "I heard people in the south say that people who drink too much tea and feel uncomfortable will be fine if they drink a big bowl of vinegar." ”

"Huh? It's true? Xue Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.

Nangong Mo said: "I also once heard the story of the military doctor in the army, but I don't know if it's true." ”

Be sure to give it a try when you go back! Xue Xiaoxiao clenched his fists in his heart.

"Thank you, young lady." Xue Xiaoxiao said gratefully. Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and smiled, "You're welcome, just say it casually." After pouring a big bowl of vinegar, Xue Bin will definitely not be afraid of drinking tea, because he will be afraid of being jealous. I just don't know which one is more uncomfortable.

"Cousin, what are you talking about?" Chen turned around and saw Nangong Mo and Xue Xiaoxiao retreating to the side and whispering, and couldn't help laughing, "Cousin-in-law, is it more of Miss Xue's fate?" ”

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "I like Miss Xue's temperament very much. ”

Hearing this, Xue Xiaoxiao's bright big eyes also became brighter, and she also liked this beautiful young lady.

"Cousin! Sister-in-law! Xiao Qianjiong's hearty cry came from outside the garden, and Chen couldn't help frowning slightly: "Why is the third prince here?" The girl next to her hurriedly said, "Slave maid, let's go and have a look." He hurriedly walked to the gate of the garden. Only then did Chen turn around and smile at everyone: "The third brother loves to run around, so I disturb you." Let's go sit in the garden. ”

Although Chen has been married to Youzhou for two years, he is still a little unaccustomed to the heroic and informal style of the Northlanders. Fortunately, Xiao Qianjiong still respects her sister-in-law, and she is not presumptuous in front of her.

After a while, the girl came back and walked up to the Chen family and whispered, "Princess, the third prince said that he wanted to invite Mrs. Wei to watch them shoot arrows. ”

Chen stroked his forehead, "Nonsense, you go and say that your cousin-in-law has something to do now, and you will go to see him shoot arrows another day." ”

"Yes."

Chen turned around and said to Nangong Mo helplessly: "The third brother is messing around, don't be surprised by my cousin-in-law." ”

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "It's okay." In fact, if she was to choose by herself, she would rather shoot arrows with Xiao Qianjiong. But today's occasion is obviously not suitable for casual departure. Glancing at the girls next to him who seemed to be a little confused, Nangong Mo couldn't help but smile thoughtfully.

Outside the garden, Xiao Qianjiong, who was sent away by the girl, looked inside and pursed the corners of his lips a little unhappily. It's just that I want to invite my cousin-in-law to join in the fun, why is my sister-in-law holding back. It's really the same grinding and chirping as the big brother. My cousin-in-law is so powerful, how can she like to play with a group of women who don't know anything, if he is allowed to play with those women, he will die of boredom in the morning.

Watching him go back with his head bowed, Xiao Qianwei smiled and said, "I told you that my cousin-in-law is not available, and you still have to go to her." ”

Xiao Qianjiong rolled his eyes and muttered with laughter: "My cousin-in-law is very good at martial arts, but archery is not necessarily good." I'll have to compare myself to her another day! "It turned out that this kid was angry because he had lost to Nangong Mo several times in the previous martial arts competition. Today, a group of young men were playing archery in the backyard, and it suddenly occurred to them that they might be able to win back a city from this aspect.

If someone who is familiar with Nangong Mo is present, he will definitely tell Xiao Sangongzi: Daydream less, Miss Nangong's embroidery needle can shoot flies a few steps away, coupled with the blessing of deep internal force, it is not a matter of minutes to wear Yang in a hundred steps?

No matter how Xiao Qianjiong calculated his plan to turn defeat into victory, Nangong Mozheng and Chen were sitting together and talking. Looking at the young ladies and ladies in the garden who were talking, playing, and smiling, Nangong Mo had to admit that the women in the north did have a rare vitality in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Shi looked at Nangong Mo's eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "When I first came over, there were some girls who were not used to being here. After a long time, I can see that it is a little cute. ”

Chen is the most orthodox scholarly girl, from

's girl, who arrived since she was a child, can be said to be out of the door. Occasionally, I follow my mother or sister-in-law to go out to a banquet and incense is also quiet, and the people around me are all the ladies in Jinling City, where have I seen these lively girls in the north? The first time I attended a banquet with Princess Yan, I was very embarrassed.

Nangong Mo smiled: "It's good, the girls in Jinling City are too quiet." "No matter what you have in mind, you must be quiet and elegant on your face. It's like the Lord of Yongchang and Princess Lingyi, which is rare and has some personality.

Chen pursed his lips and smiled, "Cousin-in-law, look at these girls, do you think it's good?" ”

"Huh?" Nangong Mo was puzzled.

Chen had a headache and said in a low voice: "The second brother should get married, and the third brother is almost the age to get married." The concubine asked me to take a look, where did I see this, so I had to take my cousin and sister-in-law to take a look. ”

Nangong Mo knew that the Chen family was married from Jinling by the first emperor. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, if King Yan and Princess Yan don't want Xiao Qianwei and Xiao Qianjiong to marry the ladies of Jinling, it is best to choose a family affair for the two of them. The new emperor will inevitably be uneasy about his imperial uncles when he ascends the throne, so it is imperative to take advantage of the marriage to insert eyeliner in the fiefdom.

Nangong Mo smiled: "Well, I've never seen this." I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. What did my aunt say? ”

Chen shook his head, "I don't know why my mother would leave this matter to me?" How do I understand this? ”

Nangong Mo said: "If you look at it and think it's good, just tell your aunt." My aunt and uncle must also take a good look at it, and they won't miss Qianwei and Qianjiong. Chen didn't understand, but Nangong Mo somewhat understood. I'm afraid this is Princess Yan's test for this daughter-in-law. After all, as the princess of the world, that is, the future princess Yan, what kind of wife she chooses for her younger brothers also shows her attitude towards the two younger uncles. Otherwise, it would not be the Chen family's turn to take care of such a matter, after all, King Yan and Princess Yan were still alive.

Chen sighed and said, "I think the same way. ”

Nangong Mo thought about it, and still asked, "What do you think?" ”

Chen glanced at the girls who were joking with each other, and pointed to the distance without a trace: "I think that girl is good, and her talent and appearance are worthy of the second brother." ”

Nangong Mo looked sideways, and saw a purple-clothed girl on the edge of the flowers not far away, looking up and talking to the girl next to her. The smile is demure, and the figure is obviously the appearance of a Jiangnan woman, "That's ......"

Chen said: "That's the concubine of the Qi's family of the Yuyang prefect. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is a rare talented woman in our Youzhou City. The family background is also first-class in Youzhou. "The prefect is an official of the fourth grade, in Youzhou, except for the king of Yan and the commander of Youzhou and the political envoy of Youzhou, it is indeed considered high. It's just that...... Nangong Mo frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Chen naturally has Chen's own considerations, and she may not be willing to listen to Chen's when she says it, and maybe there will be a knot in her heart.

Chen was obviously very satisfied with the person he chose, and said with a smile: "Miss Qi is fifteen years old in recent years, and she is just the right match for the second brother. I've also been in contact with it, and my personality is also very gentle and virtuous, so I guess I fell in love with my second brother. ”

"Brother and sister are familiar with Miss Qi?" Nangong Mo asked.

Chen was stunned, shook his head and said, "It's not familiar, I've only seen each other a few times in Jinling before." The Qi family came to Youzhou before me, and Mrs. Qi was able to talk to me. ”

Nangong Mo knew that the Chen family was naturally lonely when he was alone in Youzhou, and he always had to be a little affectionate when he saw people from Jinling. Moreover, the Chen family still has a little bit of a scholarly background, and he doesn't look down on those girls born in the military general's family. However, there are almost no noble families in Jinling City, and most of them are just generals who have been on the border all the year round or businessmen who have traveled from south to north. It's no wonder that the Chen family is extraordinarily close to the Qi family.

It's just that maybe it's not like anything in normal times, but now... Even if the girl of the Qi family is good anywhere, her birth is not good in the eyes of King Yan and Princess Yan.

Nangong Mo smiled faintly, and looked back at the noisy garden outside, but there was no more Chen Shi said.

There are many things that outsiders can't understand without experiencing them personally. It's too much, but it's wrong.
