After saying that, Chen Youyi picked up Qin Huai and walked outside, that Zhang Zishou was startled, he was still worried about those foods, so as to avoid ruining them, he hurriedly chased them out and stopped Chen Youyi.

snatched the food from her hand, "If you don't eat it, I'll eat it." A little woman with a big temper. ”

When it came to Qin Ziheng's matter, Chen Youyi's heart was very sad, and he pulled Qin Huai to sit down directly on the steps in front of the house, although he had already promised him to join the army.

It didn't matter in front of him, but then again, she was still reluctant in her heart, if Qin Huai had been studying here in the future, there would only be herself and her mother-in-law left at the bottom of the mountain, how lonely it would be.

Thinking of that, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Zhang Zishou sat at the table in the room and ate those meals, and saw Chen Youyi sitting on the steps sullenly, and also thought of the words she said just now, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Did you just say that your father-in-law was going to join the army?" ”

Chen Youyi didn't look back at him, and was still a little sulking in his heart, "What, what does my family have to do with joining the army?" In the future, we will be the old and the young, and I am afraid that we will no longer be able to serve you thoughtfully, if you really don't want me, I will take Qin Huai away and no longer bother your old man. ”

Old man Zhang frowned again, walked to the door with chopsticks and pointed at her, "I just said a few words to you, are you really serious?" Don't worry, I won't let Qin Huai go, and I won't force you to come every half a month in the future, as long as you have time, you can come to this mountain to have a look. ”

She stood up and saluted Zhang Zishou, "Thank you Mr. Zhang so much." ”

"I promised you like this, and you still have such a sad face, isn't it too shameless to give me face?" Zhang Zishou sat down again, took a bite of food, and when he looked back at him, he saw her standing there and sighed.

"That's not it, Mr. Zhang can sympathize with my hardships, and I'm already very grateful, but my father-in-law is going to join the army, and his heart is inexplicably heavy, so I can't be happy now." Chen Youyi told the truth.

Zhang Zishou thought for a moment, "I remember that your father-in-law's name is Qin Ziheng, he was the mighty general of Chen Guo at the beginning, this general has great achievements and is extremely powerful, and it can be said that he is a victorious general on the battlefield. Perhaps as soon as the emperor is happy, he will restore your original identity, and then you will not have to stay in this poor country and suffer, and you will not have to come to beg me, a bad old man, to give a lecture to your brother. And why sigh here? ”

She shook her head and sighed and said, "A companion is like a tiger, I offended his old man in front of the emperor at the beginning, so I was demoted here." It is possible to reinstate, but it is also possible to be demoted again, you have to be careful when you do things and talk around the emperor, those people in the capital are also intrigued, it is better to live your life quietly without worrying about food and clothing in this poor and remote place, I think it is much better than in the palace. ”

Zhang Zishou heard this remark for the first time, and then smiled, "I have long heard that Princess Chen Guo does not learn and has no skills, but only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, but now I see that you are not what you are rumored." Otherwise, how about I take you as a disciple? ”

She was stunned for a moment, glanced at him, and laughed, "Mr. Zhang, you are a teacher and a scholar, what are you doing with me, a female student?" What's more, I usually do farm work in the fields, doing some rough work, even if I learn a lot of knowledge, what can I do for a woman? ”

"It's that Mr. Zhang can afford me and wants to take me as an apprentice, but I'm a stupid person, I'm afraid that I will live up to Mr. Zhang's expectations when the time comes, so I still manage this family well, and take care of his younger brother and his mother before my father-in-law comes back, it's enough to ask for nothing else."

Zhang Zishou wiped his beard, put down the chopsticks in his hand and stood up again, "You impress me." In the future, I will definitely let the child become the pillar of Chen Guo, you wait, sooner or later there will be a time when you will enjoy the glory and wealth. ”

She still smiled and shook her head, the so-called glory and wealth are still earned by herself, she did not mention this concept to Zhang Zishou, but simply thanked her.

Chen Youyi's heart was still worried about Qin Ziheng, so he didn't stay here longer, made sure that Zhang Zishou would no longer give him problems, blessed Qin Huai a few words, and went down the mountain with Wang Da.

On the way down the mountain, they met Lord Xu who was going up the mountain, and this chance encounter shocked her a lot, "Lord Xu, why did you come here?" Did you go to the temple on the mountain to offer incense? ”

Xu Linfeng got down from the sedan chair, he had long known that Chen Youyi had sent Qin Huai to the crown prince to study, but he had never mentioned this matter to anyone. It's no surprise to see her here now.

"Going to the temple to offer incense is what you women should do, how can I do it."

Chen Youyi was very curious, it is said that Xu Linfeng should be the busiest time at this time, the government and the yamen are all conscripting, the pressure on the court is also very great, and there are also things such as buying grain and grass, all of which Lord Xu is busy with, but he has time to run to the mountain.

"Then do you have anything to do here, do you need my help?" Chen Youyi asked politely.

Xu Linfeng knew that she was the princess of Chen Guo, so he didn't hide anything about his coming to the mountain, but just called her aside and said seriously, "I'm here to meet the crown prince." ”

"That old man, do you know him?" Chen Youyi was even more surprised.

Seeing Xu Linfeng nodded, her heart became even more puzzled, but Xu Linfeng didn't say anything more to her, and the two just talked about the war on the border and the surrounding villagers. After that, they separated.

Chen Youyi and Wang Da hurried down the mountain, hoping to rush home as soon as possible that day, while Xu Linfeng went to visit Zhang Zishou.

After dinner in the evening, when the husband and wife were chatting in the house, Chen Youyi suddenly remembered the events of the day and asked Qin Ziheng, "Xianggong, do you know what is the relationship between Lord Xu and Zhang Zishou?"

Qin Ziheng was looking at his map, and suddenly heard her ask, he looked up and was stunned for a moment, "You are talking about Lord Xu Linfeng and that prince and concubine." Why do you suddenly ask that? ”

"Today I met Lord Xu in the mountains, when I went down the mountain, he happened to go up the mountain to visit Zhang Zishou, that is to say, the two of them knew each other early in the morning, I remembered that when I was looking for a teacher for Qin Huai, I asked Lord Xu if there was a suitable teacher. At that time, he didn't tell me about Zhang Zishou, or I only learned about it after many inquiries, but now he wants to visit that teacher Zhang, what do you say is the relationship between the two of them, why didn't Master Xu tell me that he was the prince and the prince? ”
