Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—
Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.
Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine....
However, Yuan Bohua was a man of his word. Since he had promised the two children to sleep with them, he took them away without waiting for the Yuan Chaochang brothers to fall asleep.
The next morning, Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang woke up and saw themselves sleeping next to their father and mother. The two children were very happy.
Yuan Chaochang even crawled over and pressed on Yuan Bohua, shouting excitedly: "Father, you are so kind! You didn't take me and my brother away last night."
Yuan Bohua felt that his eldest son had almost sent him away when he pressed him. Yuan Bohua took a deep breath, sat up, grabbed Yuan Chaochang's clothes, and carried him directly to the corner of the bed.
Yuan Bohua said speechlessly: "You are so old and still don't know how to be gentle."
Yuan Chaochang smiled sheepishly and earnestly defended himself, "Hey, I'm just happy!"
After Yuan Chaochang finished his explanation, he quickly crawled over and hugged Yuan Bohua's legs and acted coquettishly.
Yuan Bohua: He is very anxious about how long it will take for these two sons to grow up.
Yuan Chaokang and Zhou Qiongyue, who were standing next to them, watched the father and son making noise and laughed along.
Yuan Bohua moved his feet, but when he couldn't pull them out, he could only find another way and said, "Hurry up and get up, or you'll be late for the palace. You can't let the little grandson take the blame for you, can you?"
This was indeed Yuan Chaochang's Achilles' heel. As soon as Yuan Bohua finished speaking, Yuan Chaochang jumped up and said, "Aunt Gulan, hurry up and prepare breakfast. I'm going to be late."
Yuan Chaochang got out of bed as he spoke, and began to dress himself in a hurry.
In this regard, Zhou Qiongyue has always let her two children dress themselves. No matter how wealthy they are, they still need to be able to take care of themselves.
After that, Yuan Chaochang hurriedly packed himself up, had breakfast in a hurry, bowed hastily to Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue, and left with his men.
Yuan Bohua looked at his son who was so careless and the smile on his face never faded.
Yuan Bohua felt that Yuan Chaochang had made great progress since he entered the palace as a companion. Now he rarely saw Yuan Chaochang asking his younger brother for help in everything.
Yuan Chaochang didn't know what his father was thinking. If he knew, he would have said, "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"
He only comes back to ask his brother about important matters now. But they are a group of children studying together, and although there are minor frictions all the time, there really aren't many major problems.
The last breakfast was shared by Yuan Bohua, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang.
After finishing his breakfast, Yuan Bohua rode his horse directly to the military camp. He only had two and a half days of vacation.
When Yuan Bohua left, he did not let Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang see him off. He was worried that if the princess and his son saw him off, he would not be willing to leave.
However, when Yuan Bohua left, he gave Zhou Qiongyue another 20,000 taels of silver notes and asked her to spend them herself.
As for his youngest son who was looking at him eagerly, Yuan Bohua also gave him ten taels of silver, and did not forget to remind Yuan Chaokang to listen to his mother's words in the mansion.
Yuan Chaokang held the silver in his hand and happily agreed.
But Yuan Chaokang couldn't help sighing in his heart. After living a new life, he actually gave in for ten taels of silver. This was truly "one time, another time".
Zhou Qiongyue was not really an idle person. As soon as Yuan Bohua left, she took Yuan Chaokang to the front yard to help her look at the account books.
Yuan Chaokang often follows Zhou Qiongyue. He is a bit of a child, so of course he will learn things if he sees more.
Yuan Chaokang had no intention of exposing the fact that he had learned it. It was only one time when Zhou Qiongyue was really busy that Yuan Chaokang could not stand it anymore.
I just picked up a book to help Zhou Qiongyue. At that time, Zhou Qiongyue thought it was just a child's nonsense and didn't take it seriously.
When she saw it herself, it was exactly as Yuan Chaokang had just said. She was immediately shocked.
After questioning Yuan Chaokang carefully, he could only say that he was bored following his mother and learned it secretly.
Even though Zhou Qiongyue had always known that her youngest son was smart, she had never imagined him to be this clever. He simply didn't leave any chance for ordinary people like them!
Zhou Qiongyue only complained inwardly for a moment before happily accepting this reality. If Yuan Chaokang's handwriting wasn't still a dog's crawl, she would have wanted to just throw the accounting job to him.
From then on, whenever Zhou Qiongyue was checking accounts and Yuan Chaokang was free, she would take him with her. Zhou Qiongyue firmly adhered to the principle of "hiring people as early as possible," even for her own son.
However, when Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang looked at the account books later, they did not ask for anyone to serve them, and even Gulan was guarding outside.
Zhou Qiongyue hadn't told Yuan Bohua about this either. She didn't want to use it to test Yuan Bohua's feelings. For something like this, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Yuan Chaokang was also very happy. He was tired of playing with children's things every day. Occasionally helping his mother to do the accounts was a way to relax.
The most important thing is that his mother actually accepted that he was so smart at such a young age. Yuan Chaokang was happier than anything else.
Ever since Yuan Chaokang came into contact with the account books in his mother's hands, he realized how frighteningly fast his mother made money.
Anyway, if he had met someone like his mother in his previous life, he would have kept her in his own hands. As long as he dared to use her, there would be no need to worry about the lack of silver in the national treasury.
As for this life, hehe, Yuan Chaokang is looking forward to his future life as a playboy. Now Yuan Chaokang is just waiting to grow up.
The next day, Zhou Qiongyue felt that it had been a long time since she had visited the palace to pay her respects to the Empress. The batch of osmanthus wine she had brewed a while ago was ready, and she planned to bring some to the palace to visit the Empress.
Yuan Chaokang didn't like going to the palace. He was not used to being told to kneel down here or there. So Zhou Qiongyue went to the palace alone.
In the past, Zhou Qiongyue was always worried about Yuan Chaokang in the mansion when she went out. Ever since Zhou Qiongyue saw how smart her youngest son was, she gave Yuan Chaokang some of the authority to employ people in the mansion. Now she feels much more at ease when she goes out.
But if Zhou Qiongyue knew that she would meet her grandmother in the palace today, she said she would not go at all.
But now she was sitting in the main hall of Kunyun Palace, and it was too late to regret.
Zhou Qiongyue could only smile and listen to the Queen Aunt and Grandmother chatting.
Especially the woman next to her grandmother, Zhou Qiongyue had never seen her before. Although she was curious, she did not ask.
Zhou Qiongyue wondered if they wanted to squeeze people into her second cousin's yard.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't want to get herself into trouble, so she just smiled.
Instead, the woman frequently glanced at Zhou Qiongyue out of the corner of her eyes. Zhou Qiongyue drank her tea calmly and didn't care about the glances.
She doesn't look for trouble, but trouble always finds her.
"Chang'er and Kang'er are grown up now. It's time to give them a companion. You're always right to listen to your grandmother." Old lady Liu said those self-righteous words with a smile.
