Chapter 14: Their Goddaughters

"Not really! Speaking of which, I haven't been to Beijing for several years. Chen laughed, turned to Mao Tongtong and said, "This is Uncle Chen, your third uncle's housekeeper." You saw it when you were a child. I'm afraid I won't remember. ”

"Uncle Chen is good." Mao Tongtong smiled slightly, it's strange that she can remember, she only wore it three years ago! Although there are some memories of the heroine, this kind of person who has only seen a few faces, where will there be an impression.

"The old slave has seen the eldest sister." Uncle Chen said with a smile.

"Uncle Chen, according to the ranking, it should be called the third sister." Chen corrected on the side.

It was also a coincidence that her two brothers had no daughters, only she and her own brother had daughters. The third brother gave birth to two daughters, both of whom were older than Mao Tongtong. Therefore, Mao Tongtong should be ranked third.

"Ah, yes. It's the old slave who is confused. Uncle Chen smiled, "I always think that the daughter born to the eldest lady should be called the eldest sister." ”

"Has the grandmother in the palace been invited?" Chen asked, she sent Mao Tongtong to Beijing, thinking about this.

Yangzhou is far away from the capital, and Mao Chengyun is only a five-grade official, where can I invite a good grandmother to teach Mao Tongtong's rules. In addition, she and Mao Chengyun love Mao Tongtong very much, and they are reluctant to detain her. Mao Tongtong is fourteen years old and knows almost nothing about the rules of the palace.

"The third master has already been invited. I heard that he served in the palace when he was the first emperor. Now that he is old and out of the palace, he originally wanted to go home to join his brother. As a result, my sister-in-law was not virtuous, so she had to be matched for money. In a fit of anger, she simply came out and went alone, and began to teach outside to earn living expenses. Because she taught well, she became famous, and now she has to book it! The third master also asked him back for a relationship and a high price. said that the class will start in three days, and the third sister came at the right time! Uncle Chen said in detail and made everything Chen wanted to hear clearly.

"That's good. My third sister is used to being wild. There is only one year left before the draft, and if you don't study hard, I'm afraid you'll make a fool of yourself. Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Her daughter has a few pounds and a few taels, and she is clear in her heart. After all, his younger brother is a Beijing official, and the family must pay attention to the rules. The two daughters must know some rules. If she learns from her grandmother before her family Tongtong, then after Tongtong passes, the gap will be even bigger. In that case, I am afraid that my daughter will be looked down upon, or I will have low self-esteem because of this.

In the final analysis, she still feels sorry for Mao Tongtong, afraid that she will be wronged a little.

As soon as he spoke, he arrived in front of the carriage, Chen Bo first helped Chen and Mao Tongtong into the carriage, and asked people to help carry the luggage onto a carriage that came later, and then the group went to the capital.

In Chen Junjie's mansion in the capital, he was talking to his two daughters.

"Uncle Chen has already gone to pick up your three sisters. It is estimated that it will be in these two days. She is a guest from afar, and it is the first time for her to enter Beijing, so you sisters should take care of each other. When Mama Ai comes, let's learn the rules together. In the next year's palace draft, your sisters can still have a care. ”

"Eniang, where is the third sister here? Do you want to share a yard with me and my eldest sister? Our yard would be crowded with more people. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old, handsome girl leaned on Su's arm and said coquettishly.

This is Chen Ruyu, the second daughter of Mao Tongtong's third uncle. said to be older than Mao Tongtong, but in fact, it is only two months older, and both of them are fourteen years old this year.

"The third sister is not familiar with the place when she comes, so it is good to live in the same yard with us to take care of her. Besides, it's also lively for the sisters to live together. Wherever it is, it is crowded. ”

This is the eldest daughter of Mao Tongtong's third uncle, Chen Ruzhu. Although she is only one year older than Chen Ruyu, she looks demure and gentle, with a dignified temperament.

"Big sister!" Chen Ruyu shouted as if protesting, "It's okay to let her live, don't let me move the room!" ”

"That's how you're hospitality?" Su Shi frowned and said, "That's your third sister." Since your aunt sent her to Beijing, we naturally have to take more care of her. If you don't say welcome, why do you still look like you want to drive her away! ”

"What aunt, I don't remember." Chen Ruyu pursed her lips and said, "It's not that you want to come to eat and live for nothing, and borrow the light of our family!" ”

"Ruyu!" Su Shi shouted: "You Ama really spoiled you!" That's your aunt, your cousin! Your aunt's annual gift never lacks your favorite pine nut candy! Forgot to eat? ”

Chen Ruyu hung her head and didn't speak.

Su Shi said with a serious face: "You two have listened to me!" Although you Ama have four sisters and brothers in the family, you Ama and your aunt are the brothers and sisters! If you Amma knew that you had snubbed my cousin and made him angry, I wouldn't have pleaded for you! ”

"Don't be angry, my sister won't say that when she sees her cousin. They were the same age, so they must have gotten together soon. Chen Ruzhu persuaded with a smile on the side.

"Yes, E-Niang is naturally relieved!" Su Shi glanced at Chen Ruyu helplessly and said, "I can't rest assured that your sister is not at ease." When the time comes, you look at her. It's all my own family, and it's not like it's funny, and it also makes your aunt feel cold. ”

The Su family is teaching the daughter here, and the Chen family is also telling Mao Tongtong.

"Get along with your two cousins. E-Niang is not around, your little temper is also taken away, don't be willful. Have a good relationship, and you can also take care of it when you enter the palace draft. ”

"E-niang, you've been talking all the way! My ears are calloused! Mao Tongtong glanced at Chen speechlessly.

Along the way, Chan was like chanting scriptures. She can recite these words.

"Hey, when it comes to the end, I regret it a little." Chen sighed and said. My daughter has never left home when she grows so old, can she really live well this year?

Mao Tongtong's eyes lit up suddenly, and said, "Eniang, then let's stay for a few days and go back!" Just come to the capital to play! ”

Seeing her excited, Chen couldn't help but tap her forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "Think beautiful!" That's what E-Niang said! This year, you gave me a good place to live in Beijing. When next year's draft is over, E-Niang will pick you up! ”

Mao Tongtong's face suddenly collapsed, and he responded listlessly.

Chen hurriedly comforted: "Your uncle and aunt are very kind people. The two cousins are about the same age as you, and the year has passed quickly! Besides, you can still write a letter to E-Niang! ”

Mao Tongtong knew that the Chen family was also sad, so she raised her head and smiled: "E-niang, don't worry, your daughter and I can let myself live happily wherever I go!" ”

She can adapt to it after 300 years, let alone live at her uncle's house for a year!

Hearing her say this, Chen's face was obviously relieved, and he also smiled.
