Dong Wende clenched his fists and said: "It is the obligation of a courtier to share the worries of His Majesty."

It's just that today's will came too hastily, and according to the time set by the emperor earlier, I am afraid that my wife and I will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

Mother Xu said: "The slave will arrange it." ”

Dong Wende nodded and said, "Everything is simple." ”

Mother Xu curtsied, then turned to leave.

Chen watched Xu's mother leave with a worried expression.

Mother Zhou saw it and hurriedly said: "Master and Mrs., don't worry, there are Mother Xu and Miss Xianglan watching in the house, and nothing will happen." ”

Dong Wende held Chen's hand, and he understood that Chen was not worried about Fuzhong.

Judging from this incident, there is nothing to worry about handing it over to them in the house.

Chen looked at Xianglan, shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about the family, I'm not worried about the children!"

Dong Wende looked at the sky, she got up and said, "Mother Xu is here to clean up, why don't we go and see the children?"

Chen's eyes lit up, but she didn't agree, but looked at Xianglan.

Zhou's mother also looked at Xianglan in surprise.

Dong Wende said: "What's the matter? My wife and I want to go to see them, can't we?"

Xianglan knelt down and said, "Yes, it is indeed inappropriate to go to see the eldest lady at this time." ”

Dong Wende didn't expect Xianglan to be so faceless.

His face instantly turned cold.

Xianglan lowered her head and explained: "It's not that the slave wants to stop the master and the lady, it's really that the master is too popular now."

If the master goes out this way, he will definitely attract the attention of others.

You and your wife are about to leave Beijing. ”

Xianglan's words calmed Dong Wende down.

Chen said: "Xianqing, she is right, we are about to leave Beijing, if we really meet one, how can we explain where we are going?"

Dong Wende sighed, "But let's leave like this, children..."

He couldn't help but start worrying about the children.

Chen said: "Xianglan, when we leave, the affairs of the house will be handed over to Mother Xu, and you and Mother Zhou will go to the young lady and young master to serve."

If someone asks, they will say, "I gave you permission to go home and stay." ”

Xianglan hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave will write to inform the eldest lady." ”

So everyone went to get busy.

Xu's mother arranged the trip and went to find Zhou's mother.

Mother Xu said, "Which one should follow the master and the lady?"

Zhou's mother said: "It is not a problem for Bai Zhi to serve the master and wife.

But if something unexpected happens, it's a white angelica and not a pandan!"

Mother Xu whispered: "That is the case, but Miss Xianglan is the personal maid of the eldest lady, how can she not serve in the room of the master and the lady?"

Mother Zhou nodded and said, "That's not the case." ”

Just as the two were discussing, Banxia's voice came from outside the window.

"Mother Xu, is Mother Xu in the house?"

Banxia's voice was a little anxious, and Mother Xu said, "I'm afraid something happened?"

She hurriedly pushed open the window and said, "What happened?"

Banxia was relieved to see Zhou's mother answer her.

She hurriedly said: "The big housekeeper sent the kid from Li Hu's family over and said that... said that the eighth master of the Dong family was here. ”

Xu's mother was puzzled: "Who is coming?"

Zhou's mother's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly asked, "Dong family, which Dong family?"

Jingzhao also has a Dong family, but there is no eighth master in Nafu, mainly because they have no contact on weekdays.

Mother Xu and Mother Zhou glanced at each other, their eyes full of worry.

Banxia said depressedly: "The slave didn't understand who was coming.

But the little tiger of the Li family said that he had never seen the person who came, and the big housekeeper called that person Dong Baye.

He also glanced at the little one to come and report. ”

Mother Xu said, "Quickly call that little tiger in." ”

Banxia hurriedly beckoned to the door and motioned for Xiaohuzi to come over.

Xiaohuzi ran over, "The little one is for Mother Xu, and Mother Zhou is a gift." ”

Mother Xu said, "What's going on in front?"

Xiaohuzi hurriedly said: "The little one doesn't know, it's just that the porter just came to report that there was a person from outside the door who claimed to be the old man's brother." ”

The big housekeeper read the post, so he asked the little one to listen to it, saying that he wanted to see the intention of the eighth master of Dong, and then asked the little one to come and report the news.

Mother Zhou said anxiously: "Don't talk about these, you just say what Dong Baye is coming to our house for, right?"

Xiaohuzi didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said directly: "What is the second master and the fifth master who entered Beijing early in the morning, and said that they would let our master go to the suburbs to pick up people." ”

Mother Xu and Mother Zhou were shocked, "What?

They stopped talking nonsense and hurried out of the house.

Mother Xu said: "I'll go and talk to the lord and Mrs. about this, you hurry up and tell Miss Xianglan and let her have an idea."

No matter what the second master has in mind, we can't let them succeed. ”

Zhou's mother hurriedly said, "Hey, I'll go now." ”

She took two steps, turned her head and shouted: "Little Huzi, when you go back, you will say that the master asked his colleagues to find him, and this will not be in the house." ”

Xiaohuzi should be, turn his head and run out.

When Xu's mother went to the main house, Yingchun and Bai Zhi were packing up their things in the outhouse.

Yingchun said: "The lord just said that if the disaster relief trip to the south goes smoothly, you can return to Beijing in three months, and if it doesn't go well, you may have to stay in Shandong for half a year." ”

Bai Zhi said: "In this way, we not only have to bring summer clothes, but even autumn clothes must also be brought." ”

Yingchun said: "Isn't it, I'm going to set off tomorrow."

I don't know if it's going to leave in the morning or after noon. ”

As soon as Xu's mother entered the house, she asked, "Where are the lords and madam?"

Yingchun pointed to the inner room and said, "Talk in the house!"

Mother Xu nodded, she quickly walked to the door of the inner room, she stopped, and said in a loud voice: "You are busy with you, I will go in and go back to the lord and lady by myself." ”

Yingchun and Bai Zhi glanced at each other, both of them helpless.

Dong Wende and Chen like to be in one place on weekdays.

Although they don't know what to do in the daytime, that tiresome word is enough for their ears.

Mother Xu said in her heart: "In this family, there should still be an elder!"

She suddenly thought of her intentions, and when she thought of Dong Shengxing and Feng, she couldn't help but shudder.

She muttered, "Forget it, if there are no elders, there will be no elders!"

She listened attentively, and saw that there was no sound of speech inside, so she lifted the curtain and walked in.

Dong Wende said directly, like no one else: "But is there something?"

Mother Xu saluted and said, "The big housekeeper asked someone to bring a message over, saying that the eighth master of the Dong family came to our house." ”

Dong Wende was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Who is here?"

Mother Xu said: "The eighth master of the Dong family in Jiangning, Dong Wenchang came to our house. ”
