Chapter 568 Let Xiao Ya Serve You

After everyone sat down, Xu looked Chen Mo up and down with a smile on her face: "Duke Anguo, are you used to living in the mansion?"

The Xiao family is a wealthy family, and their ancestral home can be compared to the emperor's palace. Chen Mo has not built anything for many years. The Duke Anguo Mansion where he lives can only be regarded as an ordinary mansion at most, which cannot be compared with the Xiao family.

Chen Mo smiled gently and said: "This mansion has an excellent geographical location and good scenery. I am used to it."

"In this case, Duke Anguo, you have finally come here once, so stay in the mansion for a while. The scenery in Jiangnan is very beautiful. Qinhuai City will hold a temple fair in a few days. It's just right for Yunxi to accompany you to see it." Xu said with a smile.

Chen Mo nodded. He was not busy during this period. The provincial examination was in August, and there was still more than a month. Since he came to Jiangnan, he should go shopping more.

If Linzhou is compared to a small city, then Yangzhou is a super first-tier city in this era, prosperous and lively, with bright lights and wine, which makes people linger.

Xu's smile deepened, and after chatting with Chen Mo for a few more words, she signaled Xiao Qing with her eyes.

Xiao Qing coughed lightly.

As the grandson and Xiao Ya's father, Xiao Yingcheng offered Chen Mo a cup of tea instead of wine, and then joined the topic, saying: "Since my daughter Xiao Ya knew that Duke Anguo went north to fight the enemy and spread the reputation of our Song Dynasty, she has admired Duke Anguo for a long time. At the family dinner last night, she fell in love with Duke Anguo at first sight. I hope to serve Duke Anguo in the future."

Xiao Ya, who was sitting next to Xiao Yunxi and secretly glancing at Chen Mo, suddenly saw that the topic was about a gift. Her palm-sized face instantly turned red, as red as the sunset, and her spiritual eyes were full of shyness. She hugged Xiao Yunxi's arm, buried her little head in her arms, and whispered: "Aunt."

"Xiao Ya is shy." Xiao Yunxi held Xiao Ya in her arms with one hand, gently stroked her hair, and teased.

"Aunt." Xiao Ya nodded her head in Xiao Yunxi's arms.

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Cousin Yingcheng, isn't this a bit inappropriate? I already have a wife at home, and she is also a royal decree. How can Xiaoya, the legitimate daughter of the Wu family, come to mind?"

Although he knew that the Xiao family would marry Xiao Ya to him as a concubine, he still had to make it clear.

Xiao Yingcheng waved his hand and said, "It's not a wife. You can take her as a concubine, or stay to serve you, as long as you can serve you."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "This way, Xiaoya will be wronged."

Xiao Ya, who was buried in Xiao Yunxi's arms, was even more embarrassed when she heard this. He... He actually thought about himself.

"It is Xiaoya's honor to be with the Duke of Anguo, and she has come of age. It is time to find a husband. In this world, which man can compare to you, Anguo?" At this time, Xiao Yingcheng's wife spoke.

Although their lineage is also the direct line of the Xiao family, their status in the family has never been very important. In the past, the selection of the princesses of the vassal kings and even the imperial concubines was selected from the first and second lines. They, the third lineage, can only marry some aristocratic families and prefectural officials.

Now that they finally have the opportunity, they will not let it go.

"My cousin is joking." Chen Mo said.

Xiao Yunxi advised: "My husband, if I get pregnant in the future, I will need someone to take care of me. Since Xiaoya is devoted to you, and my cousin and cousin-in-law agree, why don't you accept Xiaoya?"

Xu also looked at Chen Mo and whispered: "Xiaoya is a girl I have watched grow up. She is smart and caring since she was young. She is considerate. You should accept her."

Chen Mo was silent for a while, and then looked at Xiaoya who was already in Xiao Yunxi's arms and asked: "Xiaoya, do you really think so?"

Xu and Xiao Qing stared at the young man, and they were stunned. How could a little girl have a say in such a marriage matter?

But the girl felt strange when she heard this.

It was indeed as Xiao Yingcheng said, Xiaoya did fall in love with Chen Mo at first sight last night.

After all, for a girl like her who has lived in seclusion for a long time and rarely goes out, but has just begun to fall in love, Chen Mo was surrounded by the elders of the Xiao family like a star and the moon last night. They flattered, praised, fawned, and fawned on her, which gave the girl a great shock. She felt that Chen Mo was so powerful and glorious.

He was like a fire in winter, making everyone want to get close to him, and Xiao Ya was no exception.

And Chen Mo's appearance was not bad.

This was a first sight. Although she didn't say that she loved him to death, she was at least willing to be with Chen Mo.

She looked up at Chen Mo, her cheeks were red as if water was about to drip out, and she said softly: "I listen to my parents."

This was undoubtedly an agreement.

At this time, Chen Mo could finally take a good look at Xiao Ya.

Her face was clear and beautiful, as crystal clear as the dew in the morning, her skin was as delicate as jade, as if it could be blown away, and it looked extremely delicate, making people want to touch it gently.

The most important thing is, just as Xiao Yunxi said last night, her appearance and demeanor are indeed somewhat similar to Xiao Yunxi.

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao Yingcheng, and said: "Cousin Yingcheng, Xiaoya is still young, and her ideas are too simple. When she grows up, maybe she will have different ideas."

Xiao Yingcheng was stunned because the other party refused, and he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Duke Anguo, Xiaoya is not young anymore. She became an adult last year, and she is stubborn. Since she has decided on you, Duke Anguo, she will not have other ideas."

Xiao Yunxi knew that Chen Mo was being hypocritical, and didn't want to agree so quickly, thus exposing the fact that she was lustful. She said softly: "Mother, cousin, cousin's wife, how about this, let Xiaoya go back to Linzhou with me first, and live in the Anguo Mansion for a while, so that she can get to know her husband well. If her mind has not changed, then she can stay. If her mind has changed, I will send her back."

Chen Mo: "..."

Good guy.

An unmarried girl is sent to the Anguo Mansion, and the white has turned black, but if her mind really changes, can it be sent back?

It is estimated that Xiaoya will not be able to get married.

Thinking so, Chen Mo thought it was a good idea.

Seeing this, Xiao Yingcheng also hurriedly agreed.

As long as Xiaoya enters the Anguo Mansion, she can't deny it.

Xiao Yingcheng's wife looked at Xiao Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, once you enter the Anguo Mansion, don't call him Anguo, call him Brother Mo."

Xiao Ya's face flushed, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't have time to think, so she nodded.

She raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Chen Mo. At this time, she found that he was also looking at her. At the moment of looking at each other, her heart trembled constantly, and she buried her head in Xiao Yunxi's arms again. For some reason, her body became hot.
