It's been less than two months since they separated, but he means he misses his mother and seems to be still uneasy.

"Okay, I know you miss me and I've been busy these past two days. Master, I'll try to find a way to send a letter over."

He glanced at Rong Zhan. After they crossed the river, he didn't know if there was any way to pass on the message.

Rong Zhan's face was grim. His former master had a secret passage to pass messages, but using it to deliver letters home was an overkill. But now that he was his master's man, he naturally put his master first.

"I can go and inquire about it."

"Well, if it works, it works. If it doesn't, don't force it. Just do what you want."

In fact, he still has a trump card that he has not used. If the normal channel doesn't work, he may have to activate it.

It was time to talk about Gui Ergou's name again. Rong Tang said, "Don't you think it's not impressive enough? How about changing it to Gui Erhu? Wouldn't that be impressive enough?"

This is similar to the way the Third Master named himself.

Gui Ergou couldn't explain it and felt it was strange. Ergou and Erhu were both animals, one was a domestic animal and the other was a wild beast.

"But why is my name Erhu? I don't have an older brother."

Isn’t it your mother who calls you Ergou?

Rong Tang glared at him, then suddenly said mischievously, "Then let's call it Qilin. Gui Qilin, auspicious and majestic."

"Don't do that!"

The Third Master objected without a word, "A servant cannot be called by such a name. If he shares the same name with a young master from a noble family in the capital, it would be a big taboo."

After Rong Tang finished speaking, he also felt that it was inappropriate. This would bring disaster to a servant.

"Then let's call it copper coins."

It fits the identity of a servant very well. Gui Ergou, no, Gui Tongqian, although he feels that it is not as good as Qilin, he still responded, "Thank you for the name, Master."

Just as he finished thanking her, Li Shiwa came up to him and said, "Master, please change my name too!"

Rong Tang seemed to see the Third Master shudder violently from the corner of his eye. He said calmly, "Shi Wa Zi, you don't need to change your name, and you don't need to call me Young Master. Young Master is a title used by slaves who sell their bodies."

Li Shiwa's eyes were full of confusion. If he was not Rong Tang's own man, it meant that he would be driven away sooner or later.

"Master, please accept me and I will sell it to you. I don't want any money."

Shi Wazi looked at the Third Master, hoping he would speak for him.

But the Third Master was unwilling to do as he wished. "Why sell yourself? Just follow Master Tang and work, have enough food and clothes, and when you grow up, join the army and earn a good future. As for the name, if you don't like it, you can let Master Tang give it a good name, that's fine, that's fine too..."

He seemed to have greater expectations for Shi Wazi, but these expectations could not be supported by him or the villagers.

He turned to Rong Tang and said, "Prince Tang, this child was like a cat when he was born. We just wanted to make him easier to raise, so we gave him a cheap name. Why don't you change it to something that sounds louder and suggests great potential, like the old uncle's name, Zheng."

Rong Tang thought for a moment and wrote a word, Jin.

"Li Jin, this is a good name."

The Third Master seemed extremely pleased. "You see, you have a lot of things to do. I, an old man, won't bother you any more. I'll come back when the people who went to the city come back."

A lot of things were confirmed today. Rong Zhan and the others finally felt at ease and at ease, and went about their business.

When Butler Wu dragged Butler Tao here, some villagers who knew them spat at them, "You two old bastards, now that Prince Tang has returned to the clan, do you still dare to bully us?"

The sound faintly reached their ears, and they were all quite embarrassed.

Butler Tao said, "I told my family I wouldn't come so they wouldn't misunderstand me."

Butler Wu said, "We have been friends for more than ten years. Let's do what the master has instructed us to do."

Butler Tao shouted, "We agreed. I'm just here to pass on a message. My master is the Crown Prince. Even the Crown Prince's father can't get in."

Butler Wu had a worried look on his face. He was not used to the fact that people who had been in the same camp with him suddenly served different masters.

"Butler Tao, no matter what, the prince is still the master's son. There are many things he cannot do to disobey the master. I don't want to embarrass you, and you don't have to embarrass me."

Many people reported their arrival to the Third Master, who looked at them unkindly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Butler Tao said nothing, indicating that it was none of his business.

Butler Wu bowed and said, "Master Rong San, my master asked me to come to the Second Young Master to talk to him. Please lead the way."

The Third Master sneered, "Didn't Housekeeper Wu know the way to the compound when he brought people here to collect mountain products in previous years?"

Butler Wu had a cold face and didn't say anything. He only did things according to his master's orders. If there were any problems, he should go to Master Jin. It was useless to talk to a servant like him.

When they arrived at the compound, Rong Tang had already received the news and was lying down, but he was lying there quite casually. He just moved a bamboo couch and placed it under a tree in the yard. He was eating peanuts peeled by Daya, and one leg was resting on Chuncao's knees, massaging and kneading them.

His nonchalant appearance is no less than that of the dandy young men from officials' families in the capital.

"Old Wutou, what do you want from me?"

Butler Wu stepped forward and called out, "Second Young Master..."

The peanuts in Rong Tang's hand rained down on his head, "Who are you calling Second Young Master? Who is your Second Young Master?"

Tongqian said fiercely, "Old man, listen carefully. My young master is the eldest son of the Bo family and the only young master. He has no brothers or sisters. Who is that Jin from your family? He is not even worthy of emptying the chamber pot for my young master. Don't try to make connections here."

Wu Butler dodged and said, "I'm talking about the Second Young Master of the Minister's Mansion."

"I bother!"

Tongqian spat out a mouthful of phlegm, "I told you my young master's surname is Rong, when did he become the second young master of the Jin family?"

The Third Master said calmly, "Butler Wu, Prince Tang is the Rong family's Prince Tang, but he's not listed in the Jin family's genealogy. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't set a trap for our Prince to jump into."

If he admitted that he was the second young master of the Minister's Mansion, it would mean that he admitted his half-brother, half-mother, and a bunch of illegitimate uncles from the Yang family, which would be disadvantageous in the future.

Butler Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Prince Tang, if you don't recognize me as the Second Young Master of the Minister's Mansion, you should at least recognize me as the male master of the Earl's Mansion, your biological father, right?"

Rong Tang's eyes flashed. "Tell me, why did my biological father, who doesn't recognize his biological son, send you here? It's impossible that he is his biological father when he wants to get benefits from me, and then he is not his son when he doesn't want me to fight for the family property."

Of course, Butler Wu knew exactly what Jin Shizhao was thinking. As soon as he started talking to Young Master Tang, whom he had never met before, he knew that this young man was not easy to handle, as he was smart and slippery.

"Master Tang, the uncle of the Yang family was arrested by Jingzhao Prefecture. It's just a trivial matter, and it made outsiders laugh at it. Master hopes that you won't go too far and just show your respect."

Rong Tang said nonchalantly, "How come this prince doesn't know there's an uncle with the surname Yang? Butler Tao, tell me, what's the surname of the uncle in the Bo Mansion?"

Butler Tao's body trembled. He knew that he should not come with Butler Wu. However, if the prince was not satisfied with his answer, he should find another employer.

"Look at what the prince said. The uncles in the Bo Mansion are either your uncle or the madam's uncle. They are all gone, not a single one left."

There is something wrong with this statement. Madam Rong has brothers, so Rong Tang has nothing to do with it. But now it is just used to shut up Butler Wu.
