When Jiang Qingxue returned to Zhuyuan, Zhou Yanjing had already solved the nine links and was teaching her four sisters in a decent manner. The five children had their heads folded and were chattering non-stop.

Jiang Qingxue sat and watched, feeling very satisfied. If all the children in the world were so cute, there would probably be no such thing as naughty children.

On the second day, Zhou Yanjing handed the nine-ring chain to the master and demonstrated two solutions. His chubby little hands flew up and down quickly, and the little emperor's grandchildren looked at it in shock.

The master was also secretly surprised that he only knew one solution. He stroked his beard and looked at Zhou Yanjing for a long time, thinking about what the child had grown up on, and how could he be so smart?

Zhou Yanjing was embarrassed by him.

"Master, can you give this to me? I want to try other solutions?"

The master had a proud expression on his face.

"Take it back and play with it. I have some other gadgets there. I'll bring you some tomorrow."

On the second day, the master indeed gave each of them a Luban lock. After the princes left, he secretly stuffed a few more for Zhou Yanjing.

When he returned home in the afternoon, Zhou Yanjing's schoolbag was so bulging that it almost couldn't be packed in. He couldn't carry it back, so Xiao Fuzi helped him carry it back.

He shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"Mom, help me make a bigger schoolbag. Mine is too small and can't hold so many Luban locks."

He opened his schoolbag and poured the contents onto the table.

"My master gave them to me."

Jiang Qingxue took it and looked at it, then asked with a smile.

"As long as you don't mind being ugly, mother will make a few more for you. But if the master is so kind to you, won't the other children be jealous?"

In order to sew underwear for Zhou Xuanzhang, her craftsmanship had improved greatly, but compared to those ancient women who were born and raised in the country, she was still very crude and unfamiliar.

The father and son were the only two who didn't mind it and showed it off four times. If it had been anyone else, they would have been embarrassed to show it off.

Zhou Yanjing thought for a while and said seriously.

"Jealous, but rather than being scolded and disciplined, they would rather the master praise me. When the master is in a good mood, he rarely scolds them."

Among these little grandsons and little princes, the youngest is five or six years old, and the eldest is seven or eight years old. Only Zhou Yanjing is the youngest, but he is the best in schoolwork.

The emperor occasionally went to see them, first to see his sons and grandsons, and later to see Zhou Yanjing.

"What did this child of the Zhou family grow up on? You said that this child was born in someone else's family. I still believe it, but if he was born in the Zhou family, I really can't figure it out."

How could a bunch of rough guys in the General's Mansion raise such a powerful child?

The problem must lie with the child's biological mother. He was very curious about Jiang Qingxue, but Jiang Qingxue was a female family member after all, so he was too embarrassed to summon her.

……

time flies.

The children are even more adventurous.

When Zhou Yanjing was nine years old, he passed the examination and became the youngest scholar in Qi State.

When Zhou Yanjing was twelve years old, he participated in the Qi State's triennial Autumn Festival and won the first prize in one fell swoop.

In the spring of the next year, Zhou Yanjing participated in Chunwei and still ranked among the best. In April of the same year, at the palace examination hosted by the emperor himself, he was appointed by the emperor as the number one scholar in the dynasty.

That year, he had just turned thirteen.

Zhou Yanjing became the youngest number one scholar in the history of Qi State. Just because he was too young, even the red robe that he wore for horse racing was made overnight by the Shangyi Bureau.

The little boy has begun to take on the character of a scholar. He is riding on a tall horse, with his back straight and a somewhat indifferent smile on his jade-like face.

He was born with beautiful appearance, extraordinary temperament, and a wealth of literary talent, making him even more like a little banished immortal.

For a time, the name Zhou Yanjing was a hot topic in the capital, and there were many rumors that he was a literary star who had descended to earth.

Jiang Qingxue reserved a private room on the second floor in advance, and like those girls who were pregnant, she lay down at the window and waited early.

"Xiao Fuzi, tell me, is it time for me to retire?"

Seeing that the three women have turned fifteen, the little emperor's grandsons have loved to run to the general's mansion since they were little. Now that they are older, there are fewer of them, but they are still evil-minded, and the general of Zhenguo also intends to fight with the royal family. marriage.

But she didn't want her daughter to marry into the royal family, let alone marry her off as soon as she turned fifteen, but she couldn't make the decision in the face of such a big event.

Xiao Fuzi saw her thoughts and probed.

"If you die, the children will have to observe filial piety for three years. After three years, they will become adults, and Zhou Yanjing can also settle down for three years. This will also be beneficial to his future official career. This child has grown up so smoothly. Just give him some frustration."

Jiang Qingxue was silent for a while and then smiled.

"I think so too. It's just that we haven't seen Zhou Xuanzhang for ten years. How about you go to Northern Xinjiang for me and see him for me..."

Before, she had never felt how much she loved Zhou Xuanzhang, but in the ten years they were separated, the two could only communicate with each other through letters. Instead, she often thought of him. During countless tossing and turning nights, she even thought of going to Northern Xinjiang to find him. idea.

But she couldn't say it out loud and left her five children to find a man. In ancient times, even the most enlightened people would be ridiculed.

Xiao Fuzi agreed.

"Okay, you wait until I come back before you die."

Jiang Qingxue found a semi-old cotton schoolbag that Zhou Yanjing used when she was a child. She packed it with two sets of underwear and trousers, and two thick quilted nightgowns, which she could put on when she got up at night. Fuzi asked for some elixirs and put them in together.

"Go, go and come back quickly."

Xiao Fuzi left for more than ten days before coming back.

Jiang Qingxue pulled him, took his pocket and turned it over.

"How is he? Can you bring me a letter?"

Seeing how eager she was, Xiao Fuzi lied for the first time.

"He was busy, so he only brought a message, telling you to wait for him for ten more years, and he will definitely come back in ten years. He lived a good life there, and even married a concubine. The woman looks very similar to you. …”

Jiang Qingxue's hand paused in the air and her schoolbag fell to the ground.

"Isn't it true that the General's Mansion does not accept concubines?"

Xiao Fuzi lowered his head and did not dare to look at her, his eyes flickered.

"Maybe, that woman looks too much like you, and he misses you too much, so he found a substitute. Hey, don't cry, aren't we all going to leave? Does it matter how many women he finds? ?”

Jiang Qingxue buried her face in the basin, and raised her head after a long time. Her face was wet, and she couldn't tell whether it was tears or water. She slowly sat down at the table.

"I understand. Leave five pills for the children before you leave. It was not easy to give birth in ancient times. I'm afraid they will be in danger."

She no longer wanted to hear about Zhou Xuanzhang.

This time, Xiao Fuzi had no objection and did not dare to have any objection. He generously took out the pills and gave two pills to a child, and then waited for Jiang Qingxue.

Jiang Qingxue calmly took off all her hairpins, rings and pearls, changed into plain white clothes, and began to arrange her will. Ten resurrection pills were placed in five small porcelain vases, and the names of the children were written on the porcelain vases.

---Qingyan, Qingle, Qingning, Yanyu, Yanjing.
