Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

"Are you going back to the border town to pay homage to your mother?"

Ling Xi nodded slightly when he heard his master's words, his eyes looking out the window, his thoughts drifting away.

Namuzhu smiled faintly and said that she had not paid homage to her mother yet. This time she went along specially to see her mother. Moreover, the king had told her before that Princess Chen not only saved his life, but also rescued the king's mother. She, Namuzhu, would always remember this kindness.

"You, don't learn from Ling Xi in everything. You are so old-fashioned." Lu Qingqing chatted with Namuzhu in a reproachful manner.

Chu Haochen on the side chatted with Ling Xi about the current situation in Cangnan and reminded him to be careful in everything. Although the old King of Cangnan was dead, his power and some people who believed in him were still there.

Besides, Ling Xi himself has the blood of the Yuan Dynasty, and not all Cangnan people may believe in him.

So the road ahead is not easy to walk on, so he should be more careful.

Ling Xi nodded slightly and responded with a serious face.

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. Please take good care of the master in the future. Ling Xi can't..."

Chu Haochen raised the corners of his lips slightly, picked up the teacup and blew on it gently, saying: "You are really like what your master said, don't be so old-fashioned. Your master is my, Chu Haochen's, woman. If I don't take care of her, who will? You should put your heart in your stomach."

Chu Haochen said a few more words to Ling Xi about his loyalty.

At this time, Namuzhu called on the servants beside her to bring up a wooden box, saying that it was a gift for Lu Qingqing. Last time, they were in a hurry and had no preparation at all, so they must make up for it this time.

There was a faint smile on Lu Qingqing's delicate face. She put her hand to her lips and chuckled, saying that she was too polite.

Namuzhu smiled and said that they got along very well with Lu Qingqing the first time they met.

The few of them chatted until the afternoon before Chu Haochen and his wife proposed to leave. Ling Xi would leave the day after tomorrow and head directly to the border town.

"See you later, master." Ling Xi bowed to the two of them.

Namuzhu also looked reluctant to leave. Lu Qingqing patted her hand gently and said, "When the children are older, we will go to Cangnan to enjoy the scenery of the grassland."

Namuzhu then watched Lu Qingqing get on the carriage reluctantly, and Lu Yanniang and her family also left with her.

Lu Er bowed to Ling Xi, turned around, jumped into the carriage, and left with his master.

Lu Qingqing felt that Ling Xi had grown up so quickly, and the scene of rescuing Ling Xi was still vivid in her mind.

Chu Haochen smiled awkwardly, reached out to hold her hand, and said that once everything was done, their family could leave.

She leaned on Chu Haochen's shoulder, raised the corners of her lips, and said that in the future she could be a landlord as she pleased.

"Okay, then I will accompany Qing'er."

Soon the carriage arrived at Prince Chen's Mansion, and the couple went straight to the flower hall in the front yard. Lu Qingqing ordered Nanny Feng and Ling'er to come.

Yan Niang, who walked in behind, was startled at first when she heard Ling'er, and then she heard her master say that her daughter was Ling'er, who was now serving the young lady, and the same was true for Nanny Feng.

"Master, thank you very much, Master."

Lu Qingqing waved her hand and told her to just take care of the pregnancy and leave the rest to Lu Er. She also asked Tian'er if he was willing to follow the eldest or second young master.

Tian'er, who was still very young, walked forward, knelt in front of Lu Qingqing and her husband, clasped his hands and said, "Master, I am willing to follow and serve you, young master."

Lu Qingqing chuckled and said that his grandmother and sister would be here soon, so he should have a good time with them and go to the master's yard to serve him tomorrow.

"This slave obeys your orders."

Lu Qingqing moved Lu Eryan's mother to the courtyard of Dabao and Erbao, and from then on they just followed and served them.

Lu Er and his wife bowed and responded with a smile.

After giving these instructions, Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen turned around and walked out of the flower hall and headed towards the backyard.

At this time, Nanny Feng dragged Ling'er to the front yard. Nanny Feng, who didn't know what had happened, was muttering to herself.

"Grandma, please slow down and watch your step."

Ling'er reminded her from the side. This time she fell asleep, otherwise the young lady would have to find someone else when she was not around. Since she went to serve the young lady, she and Bai Yan had been playing with the young lady every day.

"Mom!" Yan Niang, with her big belly, looked at her mother, who was wearing a maroon cotton dress, with a neat bun and a silver hairpin on it, and walked quickly towards the flower hall.

Hearing the shout, Nanny Feng paused, then looked up and saw the person in front of the hall door looking at her with tears in his eyes.

Her eyes followed Yan Niang's hand to her abdomen. She stared in surprise, and her eyes turned red instantly.

"Mrs. Yan, you..."

"Tian'er finally got to see his grandmother."

At this time, the whole family was crying together. Zi Yao and Lu Er behind them made a gesture and turned away.

After returning to the room, Lu Qingqing began to discuss with Chu Haochen when to return to Taoyuan Town.

"Master, master!"

The couple who were chatting heard the noise coming from the yard and knew it was that kid Lu Zhixuan.

At this time, Zi Yao opened the door of the room and let him in.

"Master...meet King Chen."

He saw that King Chen was also there, so he bowed respectfully.

Lu Qingqing asked him with a dark face, why is he howling like a ghost?

Lu Zhixuan scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"Didn't Grandmaster say that he would go back to Taoyuan Town with Master in a while? I, the disciple, also want to go back with Master and Grandmaster."

Lu Qingqing rolled her eyes at him and asked him if his parents agreed.

Chu Haochen looked at the master and disciple and smiled softly with his eyes lowered.

Lu Zhixuan was afraid that his master would not take him back, and he explained anxiously that he had already informed his parents about this matter and they all agreed.

"Okay, I understand. Go back and serve your master."

Lu Qingqing waved her hand to send him away, while Chu Haochen on the side waved his hand to signal Zi Yao to bring in the red bean cake from Chaoyu Tower that he had asked Mo Er to buy earlier.

"Qing'er, your disciple is quite good."

Lu Qingqing knew very well that Lu Zhixuan's character was fine. Generally speaking, he was much better than those young masters from noble families in the capital.

But he is still a little unstable and needs more practice. It would be better for him to stay with his master and get more guidance.

Chu Haochen smiled slightly and pushed the teacup in front of her: "You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

Lu Qingqing smiled but said nothing. With the new emperor ascending the throne, Lu Zhixuan actually still had many opportunities. However, sitting in this capital city where there were officials of all ranks everywhere, he had to be cautious in everything he did. It would be good if he could get a position in the capital in the future so that he could support the Lu family.

Chu Haochen raised his eyes to look at the serious-looking little woman, and soothed her gently, "Reassure her, everything will be fine."

How could he not know what Lu Qingqing was worried about? Although Tiantian had entered the palace, serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, and no one could predict what would happen next, so it was not wrong for Qing'er to prepare for a rainy day.
