But how long have they been in contact with the three princes?

At that time, the clues will definitely be discovered.

Tong Yao didn't know the anxiety in Chen Qing's heart at all, so he didn't worry about it, but said with a smile.

"Since I'm going to the prefect's mansion tomorrow, I'll wear the new clothes that Zhou Niang made."

Chen Qing nodded.

Seeing that he didn't intend to talk to her again, Tong Yao said with a smile.

"You play with the little pumpkin for a while, and I'll go back to the house and take care of some things."

"Sister-in-law, go ahead, I'll come and see the little pumpkin."

The little pumpkin child is now teased by his little uncle, and his mind is not on his mother, but he is not crying.

The next day, Chen Qing got up early.

At the dinner table, Tong Yao saw that he was dressed up today, and his temperament became different, so he said with a smile.

"Our A-Qing is a big child."

Chen Qing raised his eyes and looked at the nursery rhyme a little embarrassed, he felt that he was an adult in his heart, but his sister-in-law said that he was a big child, which would inevitably make him feel ashamed.

"Sister-in-law."

Nursery rhyme laughed and shook her head.

"Okay, sister-in-law won't be able to say it, but ah, A-Qing, your skin is still too thin."

The superfluous words were not repeated.

Chen Qing's eyes flashed slightly, but he lowered his head and began to drink porridge.

When it was almost time, Chen Qing went to Sister You's house next door and left with her man.

As soon as the person leaves, the nursery rhyme finds the scar.

"Scar, why is the third prince still staying in Fucheng, but what has happened?"

"Madam, the three princes have been in contact with the literati here recently, and there will be a imperial examination this year, and it seems to the subordinates that the three princes are looking at people for themselves."

What comes to mind in the nursery rhyme is to form a party for personal gain!

Ahem, it seems a little wrong to use it here, but is it necessary for the third prince to do such a thing of buying people's hearts, anyway, she always feels a little strange.

"Isn't there any other whereabouts of the people under him, then again, in my opinion, there are not many famous people on our side, so it is better to continue to go south, I heard that there are more talented people over there, and I think it should be more in line with the minds of the three princes."

Scar's expression remained unchanged and he said with a hunched body.

"My subordinates don't know, don't worry, madam, I will ask the people under me to observe the group of the three princes more carefully."

This answer made the nursery rhyme not very satisfied, but thinking that the third prince was noble, and the people around him were not waste, it must be difficult for them to investigate, so the look on her face eased a little.

"Well, I just think that the third prince must have a purpose for making such a big move, his identity is already sensitive, if it is really transmitted back to the capital, maybe the emperor will think of him, didn't he say before that his official position was removed because he was personally removed by the emperor? At this time, he should stay obediently. ”

She clicked to the end.

Scar also knew what his wife meant, lowered his head and answered, and planned to retreat, but was stopped by a nursery rhyme.

"Wait a minute."

Scar turned around and stood still.

"Madame, what else do you command?"

"You're a woman with legs and feet?"

The nursery rhyme looks at Scar.

Scar nodded.

"Yes."

Nursery rhyme smiled.

"That's it, you choose a man and a woman to come over, Ah Qing is alone in the academy, I can't reach the whip, there is a person to protect Ah Qing, I can rest assured, and there is the little pumpkin's side, although I know that you are hiding around to protect us, but sometimes it is inconvenient for you to show up."

"My subordinates understand."

Scar nodded.

As soon as the person left, the nursery rhyme rubbed his forehead, Ah Qing has always been waiting for Xiao Bing, and now the replacement is always to give an explanation, although she is the master, it goes without saying, but Xiao Bing has been by Ah Qing's side for so long, Ah Qing should also have a certain master-servant relationship with Xiao Bing, and she also wants to train Xiao Bing to become Ah Qing's henchman.

According to A-Qing's development so far, he will definitely take a career in the future, and he must also need trustworthy people around him, like this kind of love that has grown together since childhood is the best.

The nursery rhyme immediately found Xiaobing's mother and told him about it.

Zhou Niang raised her eyes and glanced at the nursery rhyme, and it was impossible to say in her heart that she was not nervous, she knew that the master was good to the second master, and the second master was also knowledgeable, her son followed the second master, as long as he served well, when the second master was good, he would not have to worry in the future.

But now that the lady said that she was going to change to the second master, she put her hands in front of her, lowered her head, and felt a little at a loss in her heart.

The nursery rhyme did not miss Zhou Niang's reaction, she softened her tone and said.

"Zhou Niang, your family is the person who has been with us for the longest time, and you can be regarded as the person who has come over with us through thick and thin, you are serving by my mother's side, and there has always been no mistake, Uncle Zhou is also in the countryside to help us deal with other things, his ability is also very valued by the public, that is, the little soldier serves by Ah Qing's side, and he is also dedicated."

"Ma'am, these are our duties."

Nursery rhyme smiled,

"Zhou Niang, don't be nervous, I don't want you to think too much about telling you about it, Ah Qing is alone in the academy, and I am the only woman in the house, if something happens to him, I will be beyond the reach of the whip, and when Xianggong comes back, I will not be able to follow Xianggong, so I simply want to find a person who knows how to work with legs and feet to follow Ah Qing, of course, Xiaobing will still serve A-Qing in the future, but most of them are at home, and there is no one else at home, so I let Xiaobing help me busy with things at home."

This can be regarded as giving Uncle Zhou and Zhou Niang decency.

Zhou Niang didn't agree, so she nodded immediately.

"Madam, we have all remembered your great kindness."

"Get up."

The nursery rhyme raised her hand slightly.

Zhou Niang wiped the corners of her eyes and stood up, her heart was also excited, it was good for Xiaobing to follow the second master in the past, but now the lady has said, let Xiaobing come back to help her, so that the things you do will be the same as your own man, in case the second master is surrounded by the new person, his son can still follow the man, and when his own man is old, his son will be able to take over, which is not bad.

When Chen Qing came back in the evening, the nursery rhyme told him about it, and his face was calm.

The nursery rhyme is a little distressing, at such a young age, it looks like a lot of things in my heart.

She wanted to reach out and touch his head, but Chen Qing just happened to look at him with a pair of dark eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you can arrange it."

"Don't worry, I've already told Zhou Niang on Xiaobing's side, he will still be your person in the future, but he will temporarily help me take care of things at home."

Chen Qing nodded.

It's just that Xiaobing is still a little lost, his second master said that he must still be his person, but when he thinks that someone will take his place, something is still wrong in his heart.

Zhou Niang took the noodles to the door of the house.

"Who?"

"It's me."

Zhou Xiaobing must have seen that it was his mother's voice, so he fell back on the bed and responded weakly.

"Come in."

Zhou Niang opened the door and looked behind her, then she gently closed the door, put the noodles on the table when she had already gone, her eyes fell on the bed, and she stepped forward in a few steps to tear open the quilt that Zhou Xiaobing was covering her body.

She bent down and patted Zhou Xiaobing.

In fact, she hasn't done this action for a long time, since Zhou Xiaobing followed Chen Qing's side, she has seen him as an adult, but seeing her son today, she knows that he is in a bad mood, thinking about what Mrs. said to herself in the morning, she smiled, this child is still too young to see the problem.

"Hurry up and finish eating the noodles, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Xiaobing's face was full of unhappiness, but he also got up resignedly.

"Hmm."

Zhou Niang watched Zhou Xiaobing sit at the table, so she also sat down, and waited until Zhou Xiaobing ate a few bites of noodles, then she sighed and said softly.

"Are you still angry that you can't stay in the academy and serve the second master?"

Zhou Xiaobing moved with chopsticks and did not speak.

Zhou Niang saw it in her eyes, but she smiled.

"Mother knows that you have been with the second master since the beginning, and there is also affection between you and the second master, but the consideration of the lady is not wrong, the second master is a weak scholar, you are also a half-grown child, at this time the master also went out to do business, if the second master encounters something bad, you follow the second master, can you protect the second master? When the time comes, you just won't be able to protect yourself. ”

Zhou Xiaobing looked at his mother and said dissatisfiedly.

"Mother, what can happen to the scholars in the academy?"

Zhou Niang tapped Zhou Xiaobing's forehead fiercely.

"You kid, this person has good fortune and misfortune, we people can't expect it, we can only take more precautions, besides, Mrs. has said, you are still the second master's person, but your focus has shifted to the home, I want me to say, you go to the house to help Mrs. take care of things, this is also good, when the time comes, you can also help your father, moreover, you can also have more contact with the little master."

Zhou Xiaobing has been by Chen Qing's side for more than a year, and he is not a child who can't understand anything, so he naturally understands the stakes in his mother's words, but he always feels that he was suddenly transferred away from the second master's side, and his heart is not smooth, but now that he thinks about it, in fact, the masters are kind-hearted.

If this is left in other mansions, you only need to obey the orders of the masters, so that you can take Qiao, it will be completely death!

Seeing the change in the expression on Zhou Xiaobing's face for a long time, it gradually became calmer, and Zhou Niang also showed a smile on her face, knowing that this child had figured it out by herself, but she also knocked a sentence at the end.

"Little soldiers, we are subordinates, and we can meet people who value us like the master, and we can't forget our duty."
