"Xiaguan has seen the fourth elder brother." Mao hurriedly saluted.

"You are?" The fourth master frowned slightly.

"Xiaguan Yangzhou garrison Mao carrier. I just met Brother Ten on the street, so I gave it a ride. Mao carried back.

"Thank you Lord Garrison this time, otherwise, otherwise our master will be pulled in, pulled in," the little eunuch of the tenth master also explained on the side, but it was not easy to say the word "brothel" in the end.

"What's going on?" The fourth master's face sank.

Mao Chengyun hurriedly explained: "It's the ** son of Ning Xiangyuan, and I misunderstood that Brother Ten was a guest who wanted to play, so he pulled it on the street." "He said it objectively. After all, if you open your door to do business, you naturally don't want to let go of a gold owner like the tenth master.

"Lord Labor. It's getting late, so go back and rest. The fourth master looked at Mao Chengyun and said.

"The next official retired." Mao Cheng arched his hand and left. This kind of trivial help, he didn't think of taking the opportunity to stutter.

The fourth master saw that his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't mean to stammer, so he had a good impression.

Su Peisheng saw the fourth master coming over, and hurriedly transported Mao Cheng out.

Only then did the fourth master look at the tenth master, and saw that he had closed his eyes and leaned on the shoulder of the little eunuch and was drowsy.

"Help your grandfather go back to rest." A trace of helplessness flashed in the fourth master's eyes. In this way, even if he wants to teach a lesson, he has to wait until he wakes up tomorrow.

In the garrison mansion, the Chen family was still waiting for Mao to come back.

"Why is it so late today, sir?" When she saw Mao coming in, she hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Well, something's going on." Mao Carrier Road.

"It's not a big deal." Chen asked busily.

Mao Chengyun shook his head, and he didn't plan to tell Chen about tonight.

Chen didn't ask, just regarded it as his official business, and waited for him to change his clothes and rest.

On the second day, as soon as the tenth master opened his eyes, he saw the fourth master standing by the bed.

He rubbed his swollen temples and sat up slowly, but he didn't look at the fourth master.

"Look what you look like! Go out and get drunk! The fourth master said in a deep voice.

The tenth master pursed his lips and remained silent.

The fourth master said again: "If you hadn't met a well-wisher last night, you would have received a letter before Emperor Amma's case another day, saying that you didn't do a good job in Yangzhou, but you went to the land of fireworks!" ”

"I didn't!" Only then did the tenth master speak, and hurriedly defended: "I'll drink in the restaurant where we ate that day!" Didn't go anywhere else! ”

"Come!" The fourth master looked at the tenth master's minions.

The slave didn't dare to hide it, so he told him about passing through Ning Xiangyuan last night, being pulled by **, and then being transported by Mao to relieve the siege.

The tenth master's face turned pale, he was drunk and dazed, and he didn't remember these things.

"I never thought I'd go." He muttered something quieter.

"We are not familiar with the place in Yangzhou, and the errands we are doing now are closely related to the local officials. You go out so recklessly alone, if you fall on the road, how can you let me explain to Huang Ama? The fourth master said angrily: "Since you come out to run an errand, you have to look like an errand!" Even if you're angry with me, you shouldn't get yourself drunk outside! ”

The tenth master drooped his head and whispered, "Yes, I know." ”

"You should thank that Mao Guard!" The fourth master said.

The backyard of the tenth master is not even a grid now, if he really goes to the land of fireworks, not to mention the bad reputation, if he gets sick or something, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I, I'll go." The tenth master hurriedly got out of bed.

"I'm with you. It was too late yesterday, so I just thanked him and let him go. The fourth master said.

Later, when the prefect came back, the fourth master also specially asked about Mao's transportation. Knowing that this person is down-to-earth and upright, I have a little more good impression in my heart.

The tenth master hurriedly began to freshen up, it would be almost lunchtime.

Mao carried this in the barracks. Knowing that the fourth master and the tenth master were coming together, he was startled and hurriedly ran out to greet him.

"I didn't know that the two elder brothers would come, but the lower officials and lower officials never greeted them." He couldn't even speak.

"Today, the master specially brought the tenth brother to thank you." The fourth master said softly.

"Ah, no, don't be so polite. The lower officials are just a gesture. Besides, the fourth elder brother had already thanked him last night. Mao said hurriedly.

"You don't want a thank-you gift?" The fourth master asked.

Mao Chengyun looked up at the fourth master a little blankly. He just moved his mouth, what kind of thank you gift?

Seeing him like this, the fourth master knew that this person was really upright, and there was nothing crooked in his heart. It's not the kind of person who likes to stammer flattery.

"You helped the master, or wait for the master to return to Beijing, and let the emperor Ama be promoted to your official!" The Tenth Master said on the side.

Mao Chengyun was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again, "No, no." The lower officials deserve such a big thank you gift. ”

"Fourth brother, there are still people who refuse to be promoted!" The tenth master wanted to laugh a little.

"How many years have you been on this guard?" The fourth master asked.

"I've been doing it for eight years." Mao Carrier Road.

"Eight years?" The fourth master repeated, "You haven't been promoted for eight years, so you're really not tempted at all?" ”

"The ability of the lower officials is here, if you want to be able to be qualified for a higher position, I believe that the prefect will recommend it." Mao carries the honest way.

That's what he really thought. He knows that there are many people who take shortcuts in officialdom. But if you let him do something like a gift, then he would rather not be an official. Because of this, his official career did not go smoothly, otherwise he would not still be a five-grade petty official.

The fourth master glanced at him and thought to himself that this person was really stubborn.

"If you miss this village, you won't have this store." The tenth master smiled. The first time he saw someone who was not promoted, he thought it was very interesting.

"The official is honest, and he doesn't regret it." Mao Carrier Road.

"In that case, then we'll take our leave." The fourth master said, glancing at Su Peisheng beside him.

Su Peisheng took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve cage and gave them to Mao.

"Since you don't want to be an official, then the master will thank you with silver." The fourth master said lightly.

"No, no, no." Mao Carrier still refused.

The fourth master's brows furrowed, could he have seen it wrong? Does this person have higher qualifications?

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan has something to ask for." Gross carrier opening.

The fourth master said in his heart, sure enough, he came. A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he still said, "Tell me about it." ”

"Xiaguan wants to ask the fourth elder brother to help Xiaguan send a letter to his family." Mao Carrier Road.

The idea had just come to me. He could see that these two masters had to thank him. In that case, why not bring a letter to your daughter? Even if you can't receive a reply, it's good to be able to write a letter and send some silver tickets to your daughter!

"Family letters?" The fourth master and the tenth master were stunned together.

Mao Chengyun smiled and said, "The little girl stayed in the palace after this year's draft. Because she didn't think that the little girl would be selected, she didn't prepare anything at home when she entered the palace. Since the two masters want to thank the lower officials, the lower officials want the two masters to help the lower officials seal the family letter to the little girl. ”
