Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 552: I only know the Duke of Anguo, but not the Emperor of Huainan
Upon hearing this, Wu Yanqing was stunned at first, and then he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. At this moment, he was even happier than Chen Mo was at the beginning.

You know, Wu Mi is Chen Mo's legal wife, so the children born to her, especially boys, will most likely be Chen Mo's successors in the future.

With Chen Mo's current status and position, he is one of the best in the Song Dynasty, and his ambition is known to the world.

If successful, the son born to Wu Mi would be the crown prince.

As an in-law, the Wu family can also gain huge benefits from it.

"Congratulations to Duke Anguo on the birth of his baby boy." Wu Yanqing said happily.

"Happy together."

Chen Mo looked at the old man with a kind smile on his face and said, "This time, my son-in-law wiped out the Eastern Route Army of the Jinxia barbarians and cut off one of Jinxia's arms. Jinxia suffered a great defeat and needs to replenish its troops. In the short term, it should be unable to invade the Song Dynasty again.

But now the domestic situation is complicated, and after the King of Huai surrendered to the King of Chong, he will certainly not sit still and wait for death. After Lu Sheng annexed Xiliang, its power will certainly expand again. At that time, both parties will inevitably have some ideas about the rich and fertile places such as Jiangnan, Huaizhou, and Fengzhou. Therefore, the areas south of Fenghuai will have to be taken care of by my father-in-law. "

Through last year's tax collection, Chen Mo knew how wealthy Huaizhou was. The taxes of Qing, Yu and Lin states combined were barely comparable to those of Huaizhou.

Now that he owns the entire north, he has posed a threat to many people. At this time, there will definitely be some people who will not let him develop with peace of mind.

"I will definitely live up to your trust." Wu Yanqing said seriously with a serious expression.

Before this, he might not have taken it so seriously, but after learning that Mi'er had given birth to Chen Mo's son, Wu Yanqing's thoughts changed.

To defend the two states of Feng and Huai is to protect the foundation for his grandson, and it is also the basis for ensuring the prosperity of the Wu family. How can he not do his best?

Afterwards, Chen Mo told Wu Yanqing about the casualties of the Jiangdong Army during the march north, and finally said that he wanted to return the Jiangdong Army to Wu Yanqing.

Wu Yanqing said: "They are all good men of Jiangdong and Song Dynasty. They did not bring shame to Jiangdong and their death was worthy. Although the Jinxia barbarians were driven away, this is only temporary. Jinxia still has the will to destroy Song Dynasty. The domestic situation is also extremely complicated. My son-in-law is in need of people. Let them stay in Linzhou and serve me."

"How does this make."

"Duke Anguo, please don't refuse."

"Okay then." Chen Mo didn't want to return the Jiangdong Army in the first place, he just said it out of courtesy.

He had just told the story about Jiaer, and Wu Yanqing felt embarrassed to really go back.

"Brother, how are you doing in the Fish Scale Guard?" Chen Mo mentioned Wu Changlin.

"Changlin has grown a lot during this period, and I would like to thank my son-in-law for giving him this opportunity."

……

the other side.

Xiao Jing met Xiao Yunxi in the backyard hall of the mansion where Chen Mo was arranged to live in Huainan County.

Since the day when the Tianshi army raided Huaizhou, the father and daughter met when Xiao Yunxi, the Princess of Huai, fled to the south of the Yangtze River for refuge. Since then, the father and daughter have not seen each other for nearly three years.

So many things happened during this period, from the destruction of the Tianshi Army, to Huaizhou being occupied by Chen Mo, to Xiao Yunxi being captured, and the Xiao family serving Chen Mo, which made the father and daughter feel that more than three years had passed.

Before meeting, both sides felt that they had a lot to say to each other.

But now that they really met, neither of them spoke first, and both of them choked up with sobs.

"Dad, I haven't seen you for all these years. How are you doing?" In the end, Xiao Yunxi spoke first and bowed to Xiao Jing with red eyes.

"It's fine for your father. It's just hard for you." Xiao Jing knew how much pain it was to become Chen Mo's concubine. "It's not hard. My husband treats me very well." Xiao Yunxi asked Xiao Jing to sit down and told the servants to make tea.

Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Yunxi deeply for a few times and believed what she said.

You can usually tell whether a person is living a good life by looking at his or her face.

The last time his daughter returned to Jiangnan for refuge, Xiao Jing noticed that his daughter was a little melancholy. Although she was wearing makeup, he could still tell that her mental state was not good.

But this time when we met, it was different. Her face looked rosy and her complexion was much better. Most importantly, her daughter seemed to have gained a lot of weight.

After Xiao Jing sat down, he hesitated for a while before asking, "Yun Xi, are you pregnant?"

Xiao Yunxi was stunned, then shook her head and said shyly, "It's still far away."

Hearing this, Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows: "Still far? Duke Anguo, doesn't he want you to bear a child for him, or does he think Zheng Er is in the way?"

The reason why Xiao Jing said that was because last time his daughter changed Zheng'er's surname and later sent Zheng'er to Jiangnan, which inevitably made Xiao Jing feel that Chen Mo hated Zheng'er.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yunxi said with some embarrassment: "You also know that the method my daughter practices cannot lead to pregnancy. After giving birth to my son, my daughter started practicing again. She only stopped practicing in the second half of last year. Now she is recuperating. She can't get pregnant even if she wants to."

The more Xiao Yunxi spoke, the lower her voice became.

"That's good." Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Yun Xi, you have to pay more attention to this child. This is the guarantee of your future and the guarantee of the Xiao family."

My daughter has been married once and has a child. She is already in her thirties. If she doesn't hurry up and get pregnant, she will be old and ugly in the future. Not only will it be difficult for her to get pregnant, but she will also lose her feminine charm.

There is a saying that goes, if an elderly couple kisses, they will have nightmares for several nights.

This is not a joke.

"Dad, if you say anything else, I will ignore you," Xiao Yunxi said anxiously.

Seeing this, Xiao Jing could only change the subject and ask what kind of person Chen Mo's wife Wu Mi was and whether she was jealous.

"It's quite good, and she is also very good to my daughter. After I stopped practicing, it was she who personally prescribed medicine for me." Xiao Yunxi said.

Xiao Jing nodded, and then said: "I heard that she is pregnant. Has she given birth?"

"It was born last month, a boy named Chen Jia."

Xiao Jing immediately showed an envious expression: "That old guy really gave birth to a good daughter."

Xiao Yunxi did not respond, otherwise the topic would have been brought back to her.

Xiao Jing's eyes darkened for a moment, and he put away his inappropriate thoughts, and said, "I heard that the Duke of Anguo recently took in the head of the Longyou Yue family?"

Xiao Yunxi nodded and said, "Yes, she also came to Huaizhou this time."

Xiao Jing's eyes were deep and he looked into the distance. After recovering the north, he immediately started to organize the imperial examinations, and now he had taken the Yuezhi in Longyou into his pocket.

If he takes the north, Longyou, Jiangdong, Jiangnan, and Fengzhou, half of the world will be in Chen Mo's hands.

As time goes by, the people in these areas will only know the Duke of Anguo and not the emperor of Huainan.
