Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

Aunt Li is the most capable nanny in the Yaocheng mansion after the master. She ranks before Sister Chun Yang and Manager Ji, and is valued by the mistress, who entrusts her with the entire business and all matters in the old mansion.

The master said that they had heard about it in the martial arts hall back then. Now things have changed and people have changed. Xiaoqing was curious, "Will they be...?"

"They should be fine." Wangshu asked Qin Xiuyuan to send someone to inquire. Another string of red candied haws was left on the wall, which was particularly tempting.

"There's another male servant in the mansion, named Qin Hu. He used to be half wild. One of them is smart and capable, the other is hardworking. During their journey, the people over there went crazy and caused them to suffer several hardships. Fortunately, the second young master of the Qin mansion was a sensible person and released them without any danger. Now he is running a small business."

Pick up the candied haws, take a lick, it’s so sweet.

Xiaoqing took the plate and continued, "The general is mighty and brave, and our army is invincible. Perhaps in a few years, Madam will be able to see them again."

Shaking my head, I think it is easier said than done to see you again.

In the west, west, and southwest, the kings of these three places have not committed any major mistakes in recent generations. There is no shortage of good generals. All industries in the fiefdoms are thriving, the population is prosperous, and the people are loyal to them.

The fiefdoms are close to each other. Now that Sichuan Province has been wooed over, the four places have formed alliances. The pressure on Qin Xiuyuan's defense can be imagined, let alone the possibility of laying siege to the city.

"It's so difficult! Peace and stability right now are more important than anything else... Ugh, so sour!"

After taking a bite of the fruit pulp, the taste disappeared as soon as it touched her tongue. She solemnly handed it to the man who had just returned to the room after a busy day, "Try this freshly made giant candied haws."

Oh! Qin Xiuyuan had accompanied pregnant women twice. During a certain month of pregnancy, the women were particularly fond of sour foods. Even though he had a normal sense of taste, he had followed along. Now that the women had recovered, he had mastered the art of eating sour, sticky, and spicy foods. "Eat the candy first."

Turning to Xiaoqing, he asked, "What are you two talking about? Is it difficult?"

As her mistress nibbled at the candy, Xiaoqing recounted the conversation they had just had, "... Madam, you are so kind. Even after more than a decade, you still remember the servants who stayed in Yaocheng. It's difficult for us to meet again right now. I wish them peace and prosperity, so that they can plan for the future."

When he mentioned this, Qin Xiuyuan remembered the middle-aged woman. "Before you got married, I asked my master to buy her house. She's very good at cooking and knows how to cook. Shushu, you've always loved the hand-made beef meatballs she made."

"Yes, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Back then, we were only seventeen or eighteen, and now we are both as old as Madam Li was. If I were a servant, I would be a Madam too."

Xiaoqing listened to her mistress's laughter, her black hair half hanging down, her words and laughter full of joy. After she finished speaking, she busied herself with chewing candy shells. Her bright eyes, white teeth, face like a lotus, and her heart as bright as seven holes, did not look like a nanny at all. If she went to work, she would probably be taken in by the master early. Even if she could not become the main housekeeper, she would still be favored...

But the master was quicker to retort, "Nonsense. No matter how incompetent I am, I will never let you serve others."

Upon hearing this, the lady leaned softly towards her master, her mouth full of honey, her smile sweet, her voice greasy, her eyes tender and affectionate, "If we are not engaged, how about I go to your house and work as a servant?"

Of course! Look at the general, he's so captivated by sweet words. If he really wasn't engaged, I could work for the general and become his mistress in less than a month! The general will definitely be in your clutches for the rest of his life!

The maid giggled and ran away quickly. Qin Xiuyuan, who was distracted for a moment, tapped her nose and said, "I must have looked stupid just now." He touched his chin and thought of something, then became beautiful again. "But, if you are my maid, you must flatter me every day like you did just now..."

"Yes, servility is a daily routine."

Speaking of this, Qin Xiuyuan became interested, his eyes turning blue with excitement, "Oh, dear, try being a servile person..."

Wangshu leaned in closer to take a look. "The color of your eyes was blue just now! They've changed again!"

"Well, we'll see tomorrow." He pushed her waist and said, "Dear, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold, come on and do me a favor..."

Humph! Man! Your eyes should be yellow!

She pinched the candied haws with two fingers, knelt on the ground, leaned on the man's thighs, and whispered in a delicate voice, "...Sao Ye, the candied haws you gave Nunu is the sweetest and most delicious delicacy Nunu has ever tasted. This candied haws is big and sweet, and Nunu has a small mouth, so she can't eat a single bite."

Qin Xiuyuan laughed faintly and pretended to be serious, "I don't believe it. Also, how can you, a cleaner in the study, lie on my lap..."

Being questioned by her master, Nunu panicked and stroked her chest with her hand. "Nunu sees that the young master is tall and handsome, just like the jade-like gentleman in the book. I admire him so much that I can't walk..." As she spoke, she stretched out her tongue and gently circled the candied haws, slowly licking the molasses. She looked up timidly, rubbing the restless soft ball in front of her. Her eyes darkened as she watched the young master. Then she opened her mouth and took the big gourd in one mouthful at a time. The gourd was indeed very large, and eating it whole seemed to make the beauty particularly embarrassed. Her brows knitted, and her mouth bulged...

This demon! Qin Xiuyuan is on fire!

"You are such a servile person! Even if I had to go out to beg for food, I would never let you work for someone else!"

If he couldn't work for someone else, he would have to work as a hard servant for this gentleman. After a long time, Wangshu was rescued for the third time. He lay on the gentleman, unconscious and dispirited. He still remembered to use his last bit of strength to beg for help.

“…No, brother…”

The chin was lifted up, "Call me Young Master."

I had no choice but to be servile and soft, "...Young Master."

Qin Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "No, it's Saoye."

Nunu was very tired and knew that he only had enough strength to catch his breath, so he didn't dare to challenge him again.

"Haha! Good boy!"

After finishing cleaning and lying down again, Wangshu yawned and was about to fall asleep while hugging half of the person's body when someone patted his face and said, "You have something to say."

Closing his eyes, he said, "Just tell me."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back for the New Year after this trip. Since Lele is getting married, I'll also visit my parents-in-law. Please take care of the family."

"……oh……"

This was also expected. The woman had already prepared herself mentally for him not to be at home for the New Year. She grabbed a handful of things with her little paws and said in a depressed tone.

"I want to take Yun Xiao with me this time."

"No." This time the woman refused quickly. Without opening her eyes to meet his gaze, she said once again, weakly but firmly, "No."

"Why?" Qin Xiuyuan rubbed his dark head. "I've thought it through. I've arranged double the number of guards. He's twelve years old, strong and able to endure hardships. Several people in the army are very supportive of me taking him with me to further his training."

Sleeping in the open air, inspecting the military forces in many cities in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, deploying troops, and getting familiar with the generals, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Opportunities like this are very rare. I mentioned it to the wife several times before, but she disagreed.

He refused to give up lobbying her, and she refused to be lobbied.
