After dinner, the three princes finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent the youngest fifteenth prince to find out the news.
"Master Qiao, what did my father, the Empress, come to ask you?" The fifteenth prince looked nervous and curious.
Qiao Chu looked at Xiao Douding's obviously immature expression and asked with a smile: "Why are you asking this?"
"..." The fifteenth prince was stunned when he was asked. He reacted for a moment before saying, "I'm just curious..."
Qiao Chu laughed: "Your father said he couldn't tell you."
The fifteenth prince suddenly looked disappointed.
This little guy is a bit simpler than the two older brothers.
Qiao Chu also learned about the situation of several princes from Lady Luo.
The eighth prince is the son of a favored concubine. He is very ambitious and has adapted well to the royal family. He looks like the mature person that the emperor likes.
The mother-in-law of the Thirteenth Prince is a virtuous concubine. She is not favored, is the least competitive, is the most silent, does not cause trouble, and prefers to observe and think.
The fifteenth prince was born to a noble concubine. He was not very competitive and was willing to listen to his two elder brothers, so he was used as a gun.
Seeing the fifteenth prince sitting down languidly, Qiao Chu couldn't help but make a point: "You just need to remember and tell your two brothers that from now on you will practice martial arts and study obediently. That's enough. You don't need to worry about the rest.
"
"Yes." The fifteenth prince nodded reluctantly and stopped talking after standing up.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Chu asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter to me. I will study hard and practice martial arts. But if I just go back and tell Brother Bage and Brother Thirteen, they will be unhappy..."
The fifteenth prince's straightforward words almost made Qiao Chu laugh!
"Then what do you want?"
"Master Qiao, can you go and tell Thirteenth Brother and Eighth Brother in person?" The Fifteenth Prince asked Qiao Chu eagerly.
Qiao Chu thought for a while: "In this case, you call your eighth brother and thirteenth brother over."
Not long after, the eighth prince, the thirteenth prince and the fifteenth prince came over.
Qiao Chu looked at the two older princes: "You want to know what your father said when he came over yesterday?"
The Eighth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince looked at each other, then at the Fifteenth Prince, and finally nodded and turned their eyes to Qiao Chu.
"Why do you want to know?" Qiao Chu smiled and asked.
The Eighth Prince: "..."
The Thirteenth Prince was also a little panicked: It is difficult to answer this kind of question, and if you cannot answer it well, you are just looking for the Holy Will.
If His Majesty the Emperor wants you to know, he will naturally tell you.
If someone doesn't want you to know, but you go round and round to ask about it, that's just spying on the divine will.
The Eighth Prince was the first to admit his mistake: "We were too curious. We won't do it next time. Please forgive me, Mrs. Qiao."
Qiao Chu smiled: "It's normal for you to be curious, but next time, I hope it's you who comes."
As he spoke, Qiao Chu pointed his finger at the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince was also stunned: "Why me?"
Qiao Chu looked directly at the eighth prince: "Because you are the eldest of the three brothers. If you let others deal with everything, then where is your responsibility?"
The Eighth Prince: "...disciple knows his mistake."
"Okay, get ready to change in a moment. The evening training is about to begin." Qiao Chu said and waved people away.
Three princes: So, what did the father say when he came?
Is it true that I can’t tell myself three things?!
Just as the three princes wilted and left, Qiao Chu said behind them: "Your father allows you to study in peace."
When the three princes heard this, their eyes lit up for a moment: Is this why the father came here?!
Father... cares about the three of you?!
So the three princes returned to their own courtyard happily.
Baishan has already changed his clothes: "Honey, I have changed my clothes, can you go to practice martial arts now?"
Qiao Chu waved him over:
"Why are you in a hurry? I just finished eating now and can't move yet. It will be later."
Baishan then sat obediently next to Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu asked: "How did you catch up on your sleep today?"
Bai Shan nodded with a look of amazement on his face: "I actually fell asleep this morning. I didn't practice martial arts or go to class..."
"This is an unexpected situation, it doesn't matter." Qiao Chu reached out and held this sensible and well-behaved baby in her arms.
Who said Baishan was the naughtiest kid in the village?
How come I'm here but I'm never naughty?!
Madam Luo came over at this time: "Chu Chu?"
Bai Shanyi Gulu stood up: "Ms. Luo..."
Lady Luo waved Bai Shan over and said, "I will call you Luo Zi from now on."
"Luo Luozi!" Bai Shan followed the good advice.
Qiao Chu happily called Mrs. Luo to sit next to her, and asked in a friendly tone, "What's the matter? What good things can you do for me?"
"The news of my return has spread to the Imperial City. Many ladies from aristocratic families in the Imperial City want to come and study with me. I plan to buy the house next door and use it as a school. I would like to discuss it with you." Lady Luo pointed to the yard.
the other side of.
"Of course I support you! Do you need any money? How much Yuan Yu?" Qiao Chu said and was about to take out Yuan Yu from the storage bag.
Mrs. Luo was so warmed by Qiao Chu's attitude of immediately wanting to give her money that she asked her, so she patted her hand and said, "Why don't you start a school with me?"
Qiao Chu was stunned: "What?"
"Your Qingshan is a good hand at teaching children martial arts. It's just right to let him teach the children to practice while I teach the children to read..." Mrs. Luo explained.
This is true, Chen Qingshan is really talented in guiding people to practice martial arts and cultivation.
But how many children can two people teach?
If there are fewer people, will Shuxiu earn enough to eat?
If there are too many people, do you have to spend all your time?
Qiao Chu expressed his displeasure.
Madam Luo seemed to understand Qiao Chu's thoughts and said with a smile: "We don't want to recruit many people, only twenty people are enough."
Qiao Chu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
This "Fortunately so" expression made Mrs. Luo laugh again: "What do you mean? Are you still thinking of recruiting fewer people?"
Qiao Chu pouted: "I still like a relaxed and comfortable way of life. It's too tiring, so it seems unnecessary, right?"
Madam Luo raised her eyebrows: "I know you are not short of money, but you should do something while you are alive, right? Do you just lie down every day?"
Qiao Chu: I did lie down every day before...how did you know?!
After thinking for a while, Qiao Chu said: "Then...how much money is it in total? I'm responsible for paying. For the specific situation, I'll ask Qingshan to come over."
Qiao Chu patted Baishan next to him: "Go and ask your master to come over."
Baishan ran away in a flash.
Not long after, Chen Qingshan strode over. After listening to Mrs. Luo's words, he nodded: "No problem, but we may not be able to teach you for too long."
"What do you mean?" Madam Luo and Qiao Chu both looked at Chen Qingshan.
Chen Qingshan explained: "We will eventually leave the Xuanwu world."
When Qiao Chu heard it, it was indeed true.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Luo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then as long as you are in the Xuanwu world, you can keep doing this?"
Chen Qingshan thought for a while and agreed.
"Okay! Qingshan College is about to start recruiting students." Madam Luo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and prepared to leave.
Qiao Chu stopped her: "Oh! You haven't said how much Yuan Yu we need to pay yet?"
Madam Luo waved her hand without looking back: "I will tell you after I ask clearly..."
