After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Just as the sky was turning pale, a palace oil-covered carriage drove out from the side door. The eunuchs rushed by with whips lashing, and pedestrians on the road ran away.

The morning market is already crowded.

Those selling breakfast, those carrying goods on their shoulders and going to the morning market, those going out to buy groceries, traveling merchants eating while walking, porters waiting for work with ropes on their shoulders... are all in a hurry.

"Watch where you're walking, idiot!"

The horse pulling the cart neighed, and the eunuch's whip landed on an old woman in a coarse cloth jacket. Blood oozed from under the torn jacket, and the old woman fell to the side of the road, with the full basket of persimmons rolling all over the ground, being trampled into mud under people's feet.

Tears suddenly fell from the old woman's cloudy eyes. Regardless of the pain in her body, she crawled to pick up the remaining fruits.

In the caravan, Zhou Qinghe lifted the curtain, took a look at the disheveled old woman lying on the ground, and pressed his chest.

It’s not that she is hard-hearted. What else can she do after traveling back to ancient times?

Living is no longer easy.

Even in a civilized and developed modern society, there are privileged classes that cannot be provoked.

Thinking of this, she felt at ease.

The wheels rolled forward, and a thin man in a green official robe walked up to the old woman, bent down to help her pick up the scattered red persimmons, and took out a few copper coins from his pouch and handed them to her.

"Thank you, thank you, sir."

The old woman put the copper coin in her palm, kowtowed repeatedly, and left, wiping her tears.

The thin man looked in the direction the carriage left, found an errand boy, gave him a few instructions, then sat down at a tea stall on the side of the road, ordered a bowl of oil tea, a piece of cake, and two air-fried chicken wings, and slowly started to eat.

Not long after, the idle man came back and said a few words to him.

The thin man paid the bill and handed a small piece of change to the idle man.

"The Princess's Mansion?"

He smiled slightly, and appeared in the Censorate two quarters of an hour later.

"Imperial Censor Wang is here. Who are you going to impeach today?" An Imperial Censor who was at odds with him said in a sarcastic tone, raising his eyelids.

He was not angry. He walked to his seat, ground some ink and started writing the memorial.

In the princess's mansion.

After finishing a silent breakfast, the boss wanted to take his leave.

He did not suffer the expected embarrassment. When the servants behind him served him food, wherever his eyes fell, that dish would be added to his bowl.

Such thoughtfulness and consideration made the boss uneasy.

Qin Yaoguang glanced at him calmly and said, "I have handed over the manager who passed off inferior materials as good ones to the general who came yesterday. The new materials will be brought in today. If there is anything inappropriate, come and tell me directly."

The eldest brother was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Ah!" Then he realized his mistake and lowered his eyes and said, "It's my fault that you worried about me, mother."

These responses were all taught to him by his second brother before he came here, and there was no way he could get them wrong.

Qin Yaoguang didn't argue with him and continued, "Also, the housekeeper in your courtyard should be replaced. You guys should discuss it and push someone up."

After hearing what she said, the boss was completely stunned.

For so many years, the five of them had no say in the princess's mansion. Even if it was something that was closely related to them, they would often not know about it until the very end.

Now, such an important matter as changing the housekeeper's wife would actually be asked to them?

Qin Yaoguang knew that the boss was skeptical.

After years of abuse, changing their minds and rebuilding trust is a long-term project.

Not in a hurry.

The toughness of his future could be seen on the young face of the eldest brother. The sudden look of confusion on his face made Qin Yaoguang laugh from the bottom of her heart.

When she smiled, the whole room seemed to brighten up.

The boss was even more stunned.

This vicious witch actually looks pretty when she smiles?

Qin Yaoguang pretended not to notice the boss's reaction, took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, if you don't have this person, I will assign him directly."

The eldest brother finally came to his senses and said earnestly, "Mother, let us discuss this for a moment."

This time, he finally called out "Mother" with some sincerity.

Qin Yaoguang put down the teacup and told Bai Lu behind him, "Put each of these snacks on a plate. Xiaowu likes them the most. This pickled goose feet is not touched much, so put it on as well."

After giving the order, she said to the old man, "Take him back to the yard and tell him anything you want to say. Don't be restrained."

Watching the eldest brother carrying the lunch box and walking out of the door almost at the same time, Qin Yaoguang secretly laughed in her heart for a long time again.

Oh, it’s not that difficult to take care of a child.

Whether they believe it or not, she just has to be nice to them.

First, make sure they are well fed and clothed, so that she can free up her hands to put the Princess Mansion in order, and then slowly think about their education issues.

They are all grown up, except for the fifth child, who are all over ten years old. Even in modern times, seven-year-olds are already in primary school, not to mention the ancient times when people started to learn at the age of three or five.

I think the five children in the original book grew up in the wrong way. Did they suffer from lack of education? That’s why they took such a biased path.

Taking advantage of the bright morning light, Qin Yaoguang started her exercise plan.

They didn't walk far, just strolling slowly in the garden. Aunt Deng wanted to lend her a hand, but she refused, because she was too weak and had to rely on herself.

As they walked, they discussed the candidate for the manager of the outer courtyard.

It was easy to replace Zeng Xia. The position of Wang Guanshi was very important, and she needed a suitable, capable, and loyal person. The servants in the princess's mansion had a complex composition, so this was not easy.

Nanny Deng made several suggestions, but Qin Yaoguang did not comment on any of them.

Her management experience tells her that it is not advisable to make empty promises. She needs to look at resumes and conduct interviews.

"Spread the word and let them come looking for you. Find out everything for me. I'll meet them tomorrow." Qin Yaoguang ordered.

Nanny Deng nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with relief.

She didn't know how to describe it. In short, her master's actions these days were very methodical, which made her no longer as frightened as before.

Qin Yaoguang took in all of Madam Deng's expressions, squeezed her hand and then let go, whispering, "I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that I was deserted by my friends and relatives..."

Aunt Deng trembled and asked in fear, "Your Highness, are you in a nightmare?"

Fortunately, I am not in the palace now. How could I say such things casually?

Qin Yaoguang shook her head and said, "Mammy, you have to help me. I...I don't want to live in such a muddle-headed state anymore."

Nanny Deng is the person who knows her best and is most familiar with her, so she cannot be allowed to become suspicious.

This excuse is enough.

Sure enough, when Nanny Deng opened her mouth and was about to express her opinion, Chunfen came to report: "Your Highness, someone has come from the palace. The Queen Mother invites Your Highness to enter the palace."

She is the eldest princess and the emperor's elder sister. Even the current queen does not "summon" but "invite" when addressing her.

"Do you know what it is?" Qin Yaoguang asked.
