181, the son of King Yan
Qin Zixu's face is not good-looking, now that the Zhu family is rising, if it can, the Qin family does not want to be an enemy of the Zhu family. But this does not mean that the Qin family is willing to marry their own girl to the son of the Zhu family. Coming to the point of the Qin family, the importance of reputation is self-evident, no matter how good the Qin family is, they will never sell their women for glory. What is the reputation of the third son of the Zhu family, his little sister is already weak, and she is really afraid that she will be tortured to death in less than two months. At that time, the Qin family was the joke of the entire Jinling Imperial City.
However, these words, Qin Zixu naturally did not say them in front of Nangong Mo and Jin Hao, two outsiders. I had to smile reluctantly and said, "Let the county lord and Jin Gongzi laugh." ”
Knowing that the Qin family was in a very good mood at this time, Nangong Mo was not an uninteresting person. He smiled lightly: "The eldest prince is serious." I still have important things to do, so I'll take my leave. ”
"I'll send you two out." Qin Zixu was thoughtful and authentic.
After Nangong Mo said goodbye to Mrs. Qin and Qin Xi, he followed Qin Zixu out of the Qin Mansion together. Qin Zixu sent the two of them outside the door before turning around and going back to the study to discuss with his father.
Standing at the door of the Qin Mansion, Jin Hao frowned and said, "You family magnates, it's really tiring to talk. ”
Nangong Mo glanced at him with a smile and said with a light smile: "Lord Jin Zhai should have been used to it a long time ago." The Qin family is okay, right? At least they still have some true temperament and bottom line. Jin Hao snorted lightly, and naturally could hear that Nangong Mo was mocking him for being used by Zhu Chuyu before. Jin Hao is not really stupid, he won't know what the Zhu family has done in the past two years of intersecting with Zhu Chuyu, he just didn't care before. Although he fell out with Zhu Chuyu, he didn't hold on to the past. But without his help, it would be none of his business if the Zhu family had anything to do after the business in the south.
"County Lord." Zhu Chuyu's voice came from behind them, and the two of them turned around together, and sure enough, they saw Zhu Chuyu standing not far away with Ruan Yuzhi, who was still blue and swollen, waiting for them. Jin Hao raised his eyebrows, looking at Ruan Yuzhi's eyes with slow malice, "Isn't this Lord Ruan going to ask the doctor to take a look?" Don't look back, it's my fault that I'm sick. ”
Ruan Yuzhi glared at him angrily and said, "A reckless man, he should be so arrogant when he leans on the Lord of Star City!" Jin Hao touched his chin, looked at Ruan Yuzhi for a long time, and said, "To deal with a soft-footed shrimp like you, this seat doesn't need to rely on anyone." "Jin Hao is not a person who abides by the law, if a person like Ruan Yuzhi really angers him, he will be pinched to death. Ruan Yuzhi was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
Nangong Mo stepped forward and said with a smile: "Why hasn't the county lord of Shanjia left yet?" Zhu Chuyu said with a smile: "I haven't seen the county lord for a few days, but today I rarely met him in the Qin family, so I wanted to say hello." Nangong Mo didn't see the exploration and suspicion in Zhu Chuyu's eyes, and said with a light smile: "The county lord of Shanjia has a bad memory, we just met a few days ago." ”
Zhu Chuyu didn't care, looked at Jin Hao, who was standing beside Nangong Mo with his chest crossed, and sighed softly: "I didn't expect to see you in Jinling." "Actually, what she wanted to ask was that she didn't expect to see you next to Nangong Mo, do you really hate me so much and want to be against me?
Jin Hao frowned slightly, naturally he wouldn't tell her why he followed Nangong Mo, and after seeing Zhu Chuyu this time, he felt even more that there was no need for this. Thinking of Zhu Chuyu who he had just seen in the Qin family's hall, he pleaded with the Qin family for his third brother so confidently, as if Zhu Sangongzi and the fourth miss of the Qin family were really a natural match. didn't think about it at all, if the delicate eldest lady of the Qin family really married someone like Zhu Sangongzi, how many days would she live. Zhu Chuyu is a woman, but he is so calculating a girl who is also a woman. After Mrs. Qin refused sternly, she even used the second lady of the Zhu family, who was about to be named a concubine, as a threat. If it is a slightly weaker family, I am afraid that it will ruin the life of an innocent woman. Thinking of this, looking at Zhu Chuyu's moist and gentle eyes under the veil, Jin Hao faintly felt a little disgusted.
"I didn't expect to meet you." Jin Hao said in a deep voice.
The smile on Zhu Chuyu's face was slightly stiff, although she abandoned Jin Hao first, but as a woman who thought she was beautiful and excellent, Zhu Chuyu's face was still a little unbearable when she was disposed of by a man who once admired her in front of another woman who was regarded as her opponent. It's just that in front of Nangong Mo, he naturally can't say anything to Jin Hao. Zhu Chuyu didn't want to say anything, but Jin Hao still had something to say. glanced at Ruan Yuzhi who was standing behind Zhu Chuyu a little critically, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is your current vision?" Jin Hao wanted to ask, where is this weak chicken-like man stronger than himself? Is it because he has read more books than he does? But after thinking about it, I felt that it was boring to ask such a question, so I simply kept silent.
Zhu Chuyu's face was ugly, she naturally wouldn't fall in love with someone like Ruan Yuzhi. However, the Zhu family is in urgent need of employment now, and there are not many people who are willing to take refuge in the Zhu family. Among them, Ruan Yuzhi's talent and learning ability are not bad, and the children of the Zhu family have his guidance, and they can be a little more sure of the spring in three months. Because the Zhu family was born as a businessman, they were not liked by those virtuous and respected Confucians, and even if they held silver, they couldn't get close to any capable Confucians. What's more, the Zhu family has no harm in controlling their children, and they are troublesome, even if the gentleman who is occasionally invited for money will be so angry that he will not dare to resign. As for the Xie family's academy, the children of the Zhu family have no ability to pass the exam at home.
Ruan Yuzhi couldn't allow anyone to say that Zhu Chu was not right, so he hurriedly jumped out and reprimanded angrily: "Presumptuous, a martial artist should be so rude to the county lord!" ”
Jin Hao naturally saw clearly the courtesy and admiration for Zhu Chuyu in Ruan Yuzhi's eyes, pursed his lips disdainfully, and glanced at Zhu Chuyu mockingly. Zhu Chuyu was ashamed and angry, so he had to look at Nangong Mo and said, "It seems that today is not a good day to chat with the county lord, I will leave first." ”
"No." Nangong Mo said lightly. Seeing Zhu Chuyu and the limp Ruan Yuzhi leave, Nangong Mo said a little dazedly: "So, what are they waiting here for?" ”
"How would I know?" Jin Hao said angrily.
Nangong Mo thought about it and decided not to stimulate people who were in a bad mood anymore, after all, people were also here to help. Shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since it's okay, let's go back." ”
Jin Hao snorted lightly and followed behind Nangong Mo in the direction of Yanwang's Mansion.
Although he is no longer interested in Zhu Chuyu now, he still has to say that women like Nangong Mo are really annoying. It's better for women not to be so smart, I really don't know how a man like Wei Junmo can have a soft spot for Nangong Mo.
The sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and the two of them saw several fast horses galloping past them, and the horses' hooves splashed dust on the ground. Nangong Mo frowned and brushed the dust on his body, and frowned: "It's not a border emergency. ”
In the imperial city, whether it is a dignitary or a common person, it is strictly forbidden to run horses in the streets. The only one who can ride a horse and gallop in Jinling City is a messenger who transmits emergency military information and holds a command flag.
Jin Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "The magnates of the Jinling Imperial City are really extraordinary. ”
Nangong Mo shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not the magnates of Jinling, in the past two days, the princes of the vassal kings from all over the country should also arrive." ”
"The prince of the domain? When Xiao Qianye was the king of the county, he was afraid that he didn't have the courage to do so. Jin Hao said, Nangong Mowaner said with a smile: "How is this the same, when Xiao Qianye was the king of the county, he was afraid that his brother would catch the wrong place. But these feudal princes, no, it should be said that a few of these feudal kings will look at Xiao Qianye, the new emperor. This can be regarded as a temptation, if Xiao Qianye disposes of these people, if he wants to make a big deal, he will have more troubles in the future. "If those vassal kings with heavy troops feel that Xiao Qianye is weak and can be bullied, Xiao Qianye is afraid that he will have a headache in the future, "But this is none of our business, let's go back." ”
When they returned to Yanwang's Mansion, they realized that it was not only those they had just seen on the street that had already arrived in the capital. The prince and the two sons of King Yan have also arrived, and the prince of King Qi will need to work hard a day or two because of the high mountains and long roads. Princess Changping, who was talking to her three nephews, saw Nangong Mo coming back, and hurriedly beckoned her to her side and said with a smile: "This is Jun'er's wife, your cousin-in-law." Mo'er, this is the son of the third brother, and his name is Qianchi. These two are Qian Wei and Qian Jiong. ”
"I've seen my cousin." Prince Yan got up and smiled.
When the other two younger ones saw their brother like this, they also got up and saluted. Nangong Mo was slightly blessed and said with a light smile: "I've seen three cousins." "Although these three people are all the prince's sons-in-law, Nangong Mo is also the princess's daughter-in-law and the county lord of the royal seal, and her identity is no worse than them. Just as soon as he looked at him, Nangong Mo almost took a rough look at the attitude of these three people towards him. Xiao Qianchi smiled gently, politely and thoughtfully. Although Xiao Qianwei was also polite and thoughtful, Nangong Mo could see at a glance the disapproval in his eyes. As for Xiao Qianjiong, who is only fourteen years old, his disdain can be seen only from his face. Presumably, if it weren't for Princess Changping still sitting here, I was afraid that he wouldn't even look at himself. Nangong Mo was a little funny in his heart, and he didn't pay much attention to it. People like Xiao Qianjiong, who put everything on their faces, don't worry too much. On the contrary......
looked at the three of them, and the three sons of King Yan were all where Princess Yan was. Although they are siblings of the same mother, their personalities, tempers and even their looks are completely different. Xiao Qianchi looks a little like the late emperor, so his face is a little ordinary, he is young, and he does not have the momentum of the first emperor and looks a little inconspicuous. And the seventeen-year-old Xiao Wei looks more like King Yan, but the silhouette is more delicate than King Yan, and he is the most outstanding of the three brothers, Xiao Jiong, who is only fourteen years old, doesn't know who he looks like, but he also has thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and he looks heroic. It is said that Xiao Qianchi has not been in good health since he was a child, so he does not practice martial arts. And Xiao Qianwei and Xiao Qianjiong's brothers are Xiao's father, who grew up in the school barracks since he was a child. It's no wonder that it seems that Xiao Qianwei and Xiao Qianjiong are closer relatives.
Most of the people of the Xiao royal family are ordinary, but the brothers and sisters of King Yan and their self-proclaimed ones are all superior. Especially Princess Changping and Wei Junmo are among the best.
The guest and the host sat down, Nangong Mo sat next to Princess Changping, and Princess Changping said with a smile: "Miss Xie Si is feeling better?" ”
Nangong Mo nodded and smiled: "It's much better." ”
Princess Changping sighed: "That's also a poor girl. "Princess Changping has only one son in her life, Wei Junmo is filial piety, but in the end men are not as considerate as women, and it is because of this that Princess Changping is particularly close to Nangong Mo, the daughter-in-law. I also like some well-behaved girls. Nangong Mo said with a smile: "Qin Si will be very happy to know that his mother is worried about her." The three cousins have worked hard from afar, but have they entered the palace to worship the emperor? ”
Xiao Qianchi said: "Thank you cousin-in-law for mentioning it, I've already been there." ”
"That's good." Nangong Mo said: "Jun Mo is not in the capital now, if there is anything, the three cousins will just let people tell me directly." ”
Xiao Qianjiong next to him snorted lightly and muttered in a low voice: "You are a woman, what can you know?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Xiao Qianchi reprimanded in a deep voice, "Why are you so rude, you forgot my father's orders?" ”
Xiao Qianjiong's face turned red, and he glared at Xiao Qianchi fiercely before he lowered his head and said, "I said the wrong thing, my cousin forgive me." ”
Nangong Mo didn't want to be like a fourteen-year-old child, so he nodded slightly and said, "Cousin is serious." Just looking at the three brothers, their eyes were a little more thoughtful. It is said that Princess Yan is virtuous, and when she met Nangong Mo several times, she also had a good impression of this step-concubine of King Yan. But it seems that the relationship between King Yan's sisters-in-law is not very harmonious. However, it is not surprising that even the brothers and sisters who grew up together with the same father and mother in their previous lives may not have a good relationship with each of them, let alone the royal family.
Xiao Qianchi smiled bitterly and arched his hand towards Nangong Mo, inviting her Haihan. Nangong Mo smiled indifferently and said that he didn't care. If she really cares about Xiao Qianjiong, it will seem that she has a small belly.
Princess Changping was also a little unhappy, she was very satisfied with Nangong Mo's daughter-in-law, saying that her daughter-in-law was a mother and daughter, even if she was a nephew, she couldn't tolerate Xiao Qianjiong being so rude. looked at Xiao Qianjiong and said: "Jiong'er, I don't like to go out, Mo'er is dotting up and down the house, if there is anything, it is really better to ask her if there is anything." If you are rude to Mo'er again, don't blame me for repairing a letter to complain to your father. Xiao Qianjiong also knew how much his father valued this aunt, so he naturally didn't dare to be rude in front of Princess Changping, so he had to admit his mistake in a proper manner: "Auntie, I know." I was wrong. ”
Princess Changping nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is a good boy." She had also heard Xiao Qianjiong's temperament talk about it, but she was not very surprised.
The three brothers Xiao Qianchi came from afar, and they were tired. After talking for a while, Princess Changping sent them down to rest. Only Nangong Mo was left alone to speak, "Jiong'er's temperament is a little fierce, if he does something wrong, you can just punish him or tell me." Don't grieve yourself. ”
Nangong Mo smiled: "Mother, where is it so strict?" Am I going to have to deal with an ignorant child? Princess Changping sighed and said, "You are not a few years older than him." It's just for you, I haven't seen it in the end, the world looks down on women. It's just that I'm watching... Jiong'er's attitude towards Chi'er is a little wrong. They are all brothers of the same mother, how good is it to leave their hearts. Nangong Mo comforted: "There are also brothers and sisters who are separated. The third son is afraid that he is also young and vigorous at this age, and he is also a little incompatible with the temperament of the son, and it is nothing if he is not too close. I think Princess Yan is also a smart person, so she won't be fine. ”
Princess Changping nodded and said, "I hope so." Originally, I planned to move out in the next two days, but who knew that they arrived in advance The third brother meant that we would continue to live in the house and have a good place to take care of them, and it would not be too late to move when they returned to Youzhou, Mo'er, what do you think? Nangong Mo smiled: "Naturally, the mother is in charge." "Hengzhu They live in a guest house, and now even if they live in the three serious masters of Yanwang's Mansion, it will have no impact. Princess Changping smiled: "That's good." Don't talk about this, going to Qin Mansion today can be smooth. Princess Changping also knew that Nangong Mo would not run to the Qin family for no reason at this time. Now that the situation is delicate at this time, even Xie Jia Nangong Mo has only been there once since he came back from Lingzhou.
"As soon as you go back to Beijing, it's time for Jun Mo to return to Beijing in a few days. Mother reassured. Thinking of someone he hadn't seen for a long time, Nangong Mo's lips also evoked a faint smile.
Princess Changping said with relief: "How can I not worry about having you, but Jun'er is no longer hard for you." "Having this daughter-in-law is really enough, and Princess Changping is even a little grateful for the actions of the Duke of Chu at the beginning. Thinking about Nangong Shu, who is now unknown in the harem, it is a disaster to really marry back.
"It's all what I should do, isn't my mother's words out of sight." Nangong Mo said with a smile.
In the backyard of King Yan's mansion, the steward led the three sons to their respective courtyards. Because the atmosphere was a little strange, the steward didn't dare to talk much, just silently led the way beside him.
"Third brother, you stop!" Xiao Qianchi looked at Xiao Qianjiong, who was walking in front and acting like the wind, couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice. Xiao Qianjiong turned his head, looked at Xiao Qianchi angrily and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Qianchi frowned and said, "You were so rude to your cousin-in-law, remember not to do it again in the future." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Qianjiong suddenly became angry, and said impatiently: "Are you finished?" Haven't I already said humility to my aunt? Xiao Qianchi's brows tightened, "What kind of attitude do you have?" Before leaving, my father told me to look at you a little more before I said a few more words. Xiao Qianchi also knew that this third brother didn't want to see him, and he didn't want to say it, but he knew Xiao Qianjiong better than Princess Changping. Although Xiao Qianjiong apologized in front of Princess Changping, he didn't really take it to heart. When we look back, I'm afraid that I will have to collide with Nangong Mo.
Xiao Qianjiong rolled his eyes and said, "Don't scare me with my father, I just said that you just keep holding on to it, and use your identity as a son to suppress me?" ”
Xiao Qian's fingers trembled with anger, and he pointed at Xiao Qianjiong and was speechless for a long time. The steward next to him was so frightened that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and Xiao Qianwei, who was standing on the side, said: "Okay, third brother, the eldest brother is also good for you." It's not that your father values your cousin, but you don't know that your cousin and aunt are very good to the county lord of Star City, so we should respect some of them. Xiao Qianjiong snorted lightly all his life, but in the end he still gave Xiao Qianwei some face, and said in a low voice: "I just said it casually, and I didn't have much of her." Why do you say me one by one. ”
Xiao Qianwei said with a little crying and laughing: "The first time we met, you were rude, where did the county lord of Xingcheng offend you and make you so resentful?" ”
Of course, it is impossible for Nangong Mo to offend Xiao Qianjiong, let alone that they have never seen it, before today, Nangong Mo had only heard of Xiao Qianjiong's name once. Xiao Qianjiong also knew that he was unreasonable, but he had always been casual, so he naturally couldn't pull his face down to admit his mistake in front of his eldest brother at this time. just said impatiently: "I know, can't I walk behind closed doors when I see her in the future?" ”
Xiao Qianwei stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and smiled at Xiao Qianchi: "Big brother, the third brother knows that he is wrong, forget about today's matter." ”
Xiao Qianchi nodded, and sighed secretly in his heart. Xiao Qianwei saw that Xiao Qianjiong was still a little sullen, so he pulled his younger brother to his side and said with a smile: "Okay, didn't you always say that you wanted to play in Jiangnan before?" When the coffin of the emperor's grandfather enters the imperial mausoleum, the second brother will accompany you to play around. Xiao Qianjiong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became happy, "Second brother, it's decided." ”
"This is natural, will the second brother still lose his words?"
Xiao Qianjiong took Xiao Qianwei's arm and walked forward quickly, while saying: "Let's take a walk, see how the yard is, speaking of which, this is the second time I've come back, I can't remember it clearly." ”
The two brothers walked away with a smile, but it seemed that they had forgotten Xiao Qianchi behind them. Xiao Qianchi stood in the garden and looked at the two younger brothers who were walking away together, with a trace of bitterness and melancholy in his eyes. The steward next to him glanced at him cautiously and said in a low voice, "Shizi, the little one will send you back to the courtyard?" ”
Xiao Qianchi nodded silently and followed the steward towards his courtyard.
Behind him, Nangong Mo walked out from behind the flowers, looked at the empty garden and frowned, and showed a thoughtful look on his beautiful face.
