10th year of Xuanhe, October 9.

Chen Mo and his entourage returned to Xiangyang City, and the officials in the city had already waited outside the city gate in advance to greet them.

After Chen Mo occupied Linzhou, Linzhou soon restored a stable order, and Chen Mo did not come back secretly, and after arriving in Linzhou, he took the official road, and there were various post stations along the way.

The officials of Xiangyang City can receive the news in advance.

However, they didn't know that Chen Mo brought Xiao Yunxi, Chu Juan, and Chu Zheng back.

In the carriage, Xiao Yunxi was in the same carriage with Chu Juan in her arms.

Even a high-end carriage is inevitably bumpy, after all, the wheels of the carriage are hard, and they are not elastic tires.

In the golden autumn of October, under the long-distance travel, the two girls were a little drowsy, with a little haggard on their cheeks.

However, when I heard the sound outside, I knew that it was time to arrive, and the officials of Xiangyang City were greeting Chen Mo.

Xiao Yunxi suddenly became a little more energetic, and quickly held her breath, for fear of being discovered by others.

But I'm afraid of something.

Xiao Shizi, who was held in her arms, suddenly woke up, and I didn't know if she was hungry or what, so she woke up and cried.

This frightened Xiao Yunxi, but she felt very sorry for the child and didn't want to cover the child's mouth, so she was a little at a loss.

However, she was too worried, how could people outside dare to inspect Chen Mo's convoy.

Outside, Wei Linchun, the commander of Xiangyang City County, who was reporting to Chen Mo on the situation in Linzhou recently, heard the child's cry, first stunned, and then continued to talk as if he hadn't heard it.

When Zuo Lianglun went to Yuzhou, he temporarily let Wei Linchun take charge of Linzhou's affairs.

"You did a good job, Benhou came back from Huaizhou, and the cities and counties he passed through along the way were well governed, and the people's livelihood was stable and prosperous. You have a lot of credit. Chen Mo said.

"Hou Ye said that he laughed, don't hide it from Hou Ye, it is all the merits of Lord Zuo, and the lower officials don't dare to grab the credit." Wei Linchun said.

"You don't have to be modest, before Lord Zuo went to Yuzhou, I handed over the affairs of Linzhou to you, which shows that you are still capable and deeply trusted by Lord Zuo." Chen Mo raised his hand and patted Wei Linchun's shoulder, and said with a chuckle: "Now that the military and political system has been reformed, the post of Governor of Linzhou is temporarily vacant, so you will take it." ”

Hearing this, Wei Linchun was stunned at first, and then his heart became extremely excited, Geng Songfu's restructuring refers to the official system of the Great Song Dynasty, so what is the position of captain, Wei Linchun is still clear.

Isn't that the second-in-command of Linzhou?

However, he has been an official for many years, and he is also well aware of that process, and he first said that he is not capable and worried that he will be incompetent.

He also said that since the Hou Ye trusted the lower officials, the lower officials would definitely not live up to the Hou Ye's trust.

After entering the city, Chen Mo rushed towards the Hou Mansion.

Although Chen Mo had stayed in Huaizhou before, he had always been in contact with his family.

Wu Mi learned that Chen Mo was coming back today, so he didn't go to the medical hall, and waited at the gate early with the women.

The reason why they are in the house is because they are all female dependents and are not suitable for outside.

However, after learning that Chen Mo had arrived outside the door, Wu Mi and the women walked out of the house.

At this moment, outside the mansion, Sun Meng and the people in the pro-military camp had already been under martial law, and after confirming that no one was peeking, he came to report in front of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo got off the horse and came to the carriage and knocked, saying, "Niangniang, Juan'er, when you get home, you can come down." ”

When Wu Mi came out of the mansion with all the women, he happened to see a graceful and luxurious woman, supported by an old woman, and got out of the carriage.

Because they had already learned the news that Xiao Yunxi had come back together, the moment they saw the woman, Wu Mi and the girls regarded her as Princess Huai in their minds.

This noble temperament is really outstanding.

Xiao Yunxi just stood firm, and was about to turn around to pick up the child, but the moment she raised her eyes, she saw Wu Mi and them, and at this moment, she also realized that these should be Chen Mo's women.

Although she was extremely nervous in her heart, Xiao Yunxi still smiled generously and calmly at Wu Mi and the girls on the surface, and then turned around and took the child from Chu Juan, who had not yet gotten out of the car, and hugged it, showing elegance.

After Wu Mi and the others came over, Xiao Yunxi was the first to speak: "Xiao Yunxi, the daughter of the Xiao family, I have seen you. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Mi, who was walking in the front, and said with a smile: "This is the little sister of the Wu family." ”

For a while, an aura of being in a high position emanated from Xiao Yunxi's body.

Being Chen Mo's woman was not what she wanted.

Therefore, let Xiao Yunxi call Wu Mi, these female dolls younger than herself, "sister", Xiao Yunxi will never be able to do it.

Anyway, before coming to Linzhou, Xiao Yunxi was ready not to deal with the women.

A voice came out of the minds of all the women at this moment, and the other party's "rank" was so high.

Wu Mi smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "It seems that I guessed well just now, it is really Sister Yunxi." ”

Although Wu Mi is an indisputable character, as a big family like the Wu family, he still has some experience in "palace fighting".

Xiao Yunxi's face was slightly stunned, then she shook hands with Wu Mi with a smile, and said, "The child cried a lot just now, I'm afraid I'm hungry." ”

Wu Mi said: "I have already cleaned up the room for my sister."

"Jasper." As he spoke, Wu Mi turned around and called a maidservant.

The maid named Biyu took Xiao Yunxi and the child in her arms and went to the Hou Mansion first.

"Chu Juan has seen all the sisters."

Chu Juan took a deep breath and honestly called Wu Mi and them as her sisters.

After all, she was personally promised to Chen Mo by Mrs. Hui, and she was considered to have passed the door.

If she really follows the process, after entering the house, she will give her sisters a cup of tea one by one.

"It seems that this is His Royal Highness the County Lord." Wu Mi said.

"It's okay for my sister to call me Juan'er." Chu Juan said.

Wu Mi nodded and smiled, and then looked at Chen Mo gently: "The husband has worked hard all the way, and the concubine has prepared the banquet in the back kitchen." ”

Chen Mo stepped forward to hold Wu Mi's little hand, although Han Anniang on the side was already looking forward to it, but Wu Mi was his wife after all, Chen Mo could only talk to her first: "I'm not here during this time, is the family okay?" ”

"Everything is fine, it's just that the child in Zhiqing's sister's belly is a little noisy. The concubine's medical skills are still not very good, and the fetal soup she got for Zhiqing's sister is useless. Wu Mi said softly.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Zhiqing and Xia Zhining in the back suddenly felt empty.

Xia Zhiqing hurriedly said: "Sister, where is this, how can I blame my sister." If you want to blame it, blame this kid for being too noisy. ”

"Don't worry about this little thing." Chen Mo patted the back of Wu Mi's hand, then came to Xia Zhiqing and touched her bulging belly: "Zhiqing, thank you for your hard work." ”

"The concubine is not hard, but the husband is hard." Xia Zhiqing said.
