Chapter 34: Purpose
Chen Ruzhu frowned and looked at the two of them, you and me, and finally couldn't help but say: "They are all their own sisters, what are you doing!" What's so good about entering the royal family, it's better to be unsuccessful and have a good family. It's all gone, go back and rest early. ”
Chen Ruyu didn't move, just looked at Mao Tongtong, with a mocking smile in her eyes. Mao Tongtong was not to be outdone, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, depending on you, I will be selected for the royal family!" ”
She sneered in her heart, Chen Ruyu really didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and she was very ambitious. Don't talk about the prince's backyard, but talk about the royal family, this is still wanting to enter the harem?
Also, this will be Kangxi's new age, and there are still more than 20 years of emperor to sit on! If you enter the palace and get favored, wouldn't it be more energetic to have a son?
But she didn't want to think about it, when her son grew up, these princes in front of her would be like wolves and tigers, where could they fight!
"It's a deal!" Chen Ruyu said word by word, and then turned around and went back to his room.
Chen Ruzhu wanted to stop it, so she had to look at Mao Tongtong and said, "Third sister, why is this?" are all their own sisters, what's so good about being so-for-tat! ”
"Eldest sister, who is it-for-tat? I respect you, but I don't want to be wronged by it. Mao Tongtong is right.
Chen Ruzhu's expression was stunned, and she was speechless.
"Eldest sister, it's very uncomfortable to pretend to be kind. Don't worry about it. Mao Tongtong persuaded and took the lotus back to his house.
Chen Ruzhu and her maid were left in the courtyard, and looking at the figures printed on the left and right rooms almost at the same time, she could only sigh and return to her house with slightly heavy steps.
"Girl, why are you sure that the second girl will lose the election?" Lotus asked puzzled.
Although she is her own girl's personal maid, she also has to admit that the second girl is really good. Willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, cherry small mouth, and Qianqian's thin waist are the kind that men like at first glance. Although there is no shortage of beauties in the royal family, it is still very possible for the second girl to be sent to the prince's backyard as a character.
Mao Tongtong glanced at her with a smile and said, "Who told you that I was sure that she would not be selected?" ”
"If not, then the bet?" The lotus flowers are becoming less and less pale. My own girl has made up her mind to lose the election, if the second girl is selected, will she lose? That's a prostration!
"What bet?" Mama Wu asked.
Mao Tongtong stuck out his tongue and told what had just happened.
"The girl is also messing around! What should I do if I really lose? Mama Wu frowned.
Mao Tongtong said with a smile: "What if you really want to lose?" She went directly to the palace, but I want to go back to Yangzhou! I may not see each other in this life, so where do I still need to bow down? To be the prince's son or the emperor's concubine, you don't need three media and six appointments, so you can send it over directly. I didn't even have a chance to go home! ”
It turned out that she had this idea, and Lotus and Mama Wu were both stunned.
"So, what's the point of this bet?" Lotus couldn't help but ask.
"With a gambling contract, she will study hard in her heart, thinking that she is better than me everywhere, so naturally she doesn't have so much heart to find my fault every day." Mao Tongtong said.
That's what she's really about. Although she is not afraid of Chen Ruyu's small methods, it is really exhausting to fight wits and courage with such a person all day long. So it's better to solve it all at once, so that you can be quieter.
"Girl, if you win, the second girl won't have to fulfill the gambling contract." Lotus thought for a moment.
"Phew!" Mao Tongtong snorted three times in a row, "You crow's mouth, I don't want to win!" Remember, your girl still wants to go back to Yangzhou in the lunar New Year! This bustling capital is not attractive to me! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The lotus nodded again and again, and also snorted three times.
Mama Wu and Peach Blossom watched from the sidelines and said, "Don't worry, girl, although it is not easy to be selected, it is much easier to lose." When you go to the palace to see each other, you deliberately behave poorly. ”
"Mama, you still know me best!" Mao Tongtong laughed and said, "That's what I thought." E-Niang said that it was okay to survive two rounds. ”
The master and servant said that after making trouble for a while, Mao Tongtong felt tired. Let the lotus and peach blossoms serve her to freshen up.
For a few days in a row, she was from morning to night, which was completely incomparable to her laziness at home, and she was a little unbearable.
It's just that my body is so tired that I can't sleep. She opened her eyes and thought of Chan again. At that time, Chen Shili began to say that it was okay, and when he got on the boat, he asked someone to send a letter. It's been almost five days, why hasn't there been any news? Will something happen?
When I thought that Chen was returning to Yangzhou alone this time, there was a maid who was serving him closely, and I regretted it more and more. Say that you should let the lotus or peach blossom go back with one.
Today is the peach blossom vigil outside, listening to Mao Tongtong tossing and turning in bed, so he whispered, "Hasn't the girl slept yet?" ”
"Peach Blossom, I can't sleep." Mao Tongtong simply sat up and lifted the curtain.
"Is there anything wrong with the girl?" Peach Blossom said nervously.
Mao Tongtong shook his head and said with a sad expression: "I miss Eniang." ”
Peach Blossom was stunned, looking at her girl's laughter every day, and thought she was not a little sad. Who knew that in the dead of night, such a fragile appearance would be revealed.
"It's the first time for a girl to leave home, and it's normal to miss her wife." Peach Blossom comforted.
"Peach Blossom, are you homesick?" Mao Tongtong asked suddenly.
As far as Mao Tongtong knew, the peach blossoms and lotus flowers were bought by Chen's flowers from Renyazi. Since entering Mao's mansion, he has been waiting by her side. At least, in the more than three years she has been in the Qing Dynasty, the two have never returned home to visit.
A trace of confusion flashed in Peach Blossom's eyes, and after a while, she smiled bitterly: "Girl, the slave doesn't even remember where her home is." ”
"What's going on?" Mao Tongtong was taken aback.
"I heard from the woman who sold me that she rescued me from the bottom of the mountain. The person was unconscious, and it took her several copper plates to grab the medicine. If it weren't for the fact that I looked good, she wouldn't even bother to save it. When I woke up, I didn't remember anything I had done. I don't know where my home is, I don't know if I have parents, and I don't know what my name is. When Peach Blossom said this, her eyes turned red.
Mao Tongtong already regretted it in his heart, but he didn't expect Peach Blossom to have such a life experience, so he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to arouse your sadness." Peach Blossom, don't say it. ”
Peach Blossom smiled at Mao Tongtong and said, "The slave is fine, the girl doesn't have to worry." The slave was glad she didn't remember anything. After entering Mao's mansion, the lady treats the slaves and maids very well, and can follow the girl to serve, which is the blessing of the slaves and maids. I don't care if I don't care about my injured family, and the slave has nothing to think about. Left, perhaps, is a good thing. ”
