Qin Yaoguang nodded with satisfaction.

He is worthy of being the villain in the original book who has grown up. Even though his appearance is a little ordinary, the greatest beauty of a man is his strength.

She felt a sense of pride in showing off her son in front of other parents.

When Yan Yuanan came in, he saw the unfamiliar pair of grandparents and grandchildren, Madam Hu.

But he didn't ask.

Since the mother had someone call him over during class, she had her reasons.

"Yuan An," she pointed at Huang Xu and said, "He just came to the capital not long ago and lost his parents. As a mother, I want to ask you, are you willing to take him in as a book boy?"

As long as you become a book boy, you can learn to read and write.

Yan Yuanan was chosen among the five children because he was the best student.

However, Yan Yuanan was a promising kid, so she needed to ask for his opinion first and couldn't just give him a job.

If he disagrees, she'll find another way.

Yan Yuanan did not agree immediately, but bowed and said, "Mother, can you allow me to talk to him for a few words?"

"can."

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly.

So Yan Yuanan asked Huang Xu to come out from behind Madam Hu and asked him a few questions.

Huang Xu answered questions such as how old he is this year, who his parents are, whether he can read, etc.

Before the great change, the Huang family was considered to be a well-off family in the village. Huang Xu was not an introvert, but what he had experienced in the past few days frightened him.

Now, he has a well-educated peer who speaks to him in a kindly manner. Gradually, he is no longer afraid and can answer questions fluently.

He didn't know what a book boy was, he just felt that he liked the older brother in front of him.

After asking the question, Yan Yuanan bowed to Qin Yaoguang and said, "Mother, I am willing."

Qin Yaoguang winked at Guyu, who understood and said to Madam Hu with a smile, "The master let your boy follow the Second Young Master as a servant. This is a blessing from the previous life!"

Aunt Hu thanked her hurriedly.

The second young master of the princess's mansion!

When she was in the village, she never thought she would have such an opportunity today! Isn't this much better than going to the private school at the entrance of the village?

Although Madam Hu was illiterate, she often heard the private school teacher say that reading "ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles" was the key, meaning that the teacher wanted to broaden the horizons of the descendants as much as possible.

The past is gone and cannot be retrieved. What matters most is the future.

"No rush today."

Qin Yaoguang instructed Guyu: "Take them to find a courtyard to stay, and ask the embroidery room to make some suitable winter clothes, and arrange a maid to clean the house. All food and clothing expenses should be paid according to the rules of the housekeeper."

Since we said we would take care of Madam Hu in her old age, let them settle down first.

After Madam Hu thanked Guyu profusely and left, Qin Yaoguang looked at Yan Yuanan and said, "Yuanan, they are all good people and have helped me. If you have time, teach Huang Xu how to read."

After making their identities clear, she believed Yan Yuanan knew what to do.

"Please rest assured, mother."

Yan Yuanan thought for a moment and asked again: "What if he is the same as my fifth brother?"

He asked this question in a very tactful way.

What I mean is, what should I do if I am someone who doesn’t like to study?

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "Of course I won't force you to be a teacher."

What she offers is just an opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on the individual.

No one can force people to study, right?

She has no hobby of interfering in other people's lives. If the conditions are met, whether she can seize the opportunity depends entirely on Huang Xu herself.

In the worst case scenario, Huang Xu would not be illiterate.

This is enough.

The rest depends on his luck.

If he still has no future even if he follows Yan Yuanan, it means that he is just a hopeless person.

After hearing her words, Yan Yuanan's brows relaxed.

He had no intention of leaving, and he bowed and said, "Mother, all the materials for making palace lanterns in the yard are ready. When will you have time?"

Ever since Qin Yaoguang agreed to make lanterns with them, the children have been looking forward to it.

But she was too busy and hadn't found the time until today.

He asked this question specifically on behalf of Yan Shiyan.

Yan Yuanan could see that although his third brother said that it didn't matter, the desire in his eyes had already betrayed him.

These days, Qin Yaoguang was so busy that he almost forgot about this matter.

When he reminded me of this, I suddenly felt guilty.

After a rough calculation of the time, I found that I had to go to the palace again in the afternoon, so I had to go in the evening.

"How about after dinner today?"

She looked at Yan Yuanan with a smile and said, "After it's done, we can check out the results at night."

After getting her clear reply, Yan Yuanan's eyes sparkled.

Still a child.

Qin Yaoguang couldn't help but touch the top of his head: "Go ahead, I'll come in the evening."

"Is father coming too?" Yan Yuanan asked Yan Changqing.

Somehow, Yan Changqing felt that he was just asking out of courtesy because of his presence and didn't care about the result.

But since my wife is here, how can I be without him?

Yan Changqing remembered what his master had said to him in private: "A good girl is afraid of a clinging man", which told him to be thick-skinned and go ahead bravely.

So he nodded and agreed: "Come."

Watching Yan Yuanan walk out of the room, Qin Yaoguang asked the servants in the room to leave and Hanlu to guard the door.

Qin Yaoguang handed the small jade seal to Yan Changqing and asked, "Prince, can you find out its origin?"

"Ma'am, don't worry. Just leave it to me."

Yan Changqing put away the seal and said, "I have interrogated the people who arrested Madam Hu's grandson and his family. They are from the Xie family."

Qin Yaoguang sneered, "I see."

Through Aunt Hu's story, she was basically certain that the people who kidnapped her and injured Aunt Deng were not the same group as the people who set fire to the woman in labor.

"The Xue family collapsed, and the Xie family panicked."

Qin Yaoguang speculated: "That's why they asked people to keep an eye on the Cui family."

The people of the Xie family had no idea what secrets these two generations of grandparents and grandchildren from the Cui family were carrying.

They are just instinctively suspicious.

Because, if it were an ordinary person, they would definitely not bother Nanny Deng, who is closest to the eldest princess, to pick him up.

They were afraid of offending the Princess's Mansion and actually didn't want to go to the trouble of taking Nanny Deng away, so they abandoned her in the abandoned courtyard.

Later, since she didn't get anything out of Madam Hu, she thought about sending them both away.

In this way, no matter whether they have secrets that they don't know about, they will be of no use as long as they leave the capital.

Yan Changqing agreed with her inference.

"As long as we can confirm that this seal belongs to Duke Cui," he said slowly, "the identity of the woman in labor will be revealed."

Many years ago, there was a rumor in Beijing.

It was said that the prince of Ningguo Mansion had a mistress, and the Duke scolded him severely and ordered him to break up the relationship.

It’s not entirely true to say it’s a rumor.

Because the prince had been away from home for more than half a year, his wife was so angry that she returned to her parents' home.

Later, the prince admitted his mistake and abandoned his concubine, and went to bring the prince's wife back, and the two reconciled.

Later, their eldest daughter entered the palace as queen, and her father officially inherited the title because of his daughter's status, and he is now Duke Cui.

No one ever mentioned that romantic anecdote again.

After all, he just made the same mistake that every man makes.
