"Who is your daughter?" The fourth master asked. He will have some admiration for Mao's fatherly heart. I'd rather not be promoted, just thinking about sending a letter to my daughter, and I'm really a person who cares about my family.

"The little girl was rewarded to the eighth elder brother Danggege." Mao was busy.

"Eighth Brother's Gege?" The fourth master looked at the tenth master.

The tenth and ninth masters often go in and out of the courtyard of the eighth master, they should know.

"Oh, you said Mao!" The tenth master really knew, "The master has seen it, this will be with the starling in Chengde, and the starling spoils her very much!" ”

Mao's eyes lit up suddenly. It's good news that her daughter is favored, at least it shows that she is not doing badly.

"We'll leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow. Your letter was delivered late, so I won't bring it. The fourth master said.

"Xiaguan Xie Fourth Elder Brother, Tenth Elder Brother!" Mao Chengyun was overjoyed, happier than his own promotion.

Coming out of the barracks, the fourth and tenth masters did not return to the prefect's yamen. Since you are going to leave the day after tomorrow, you can walk around in the last two days, or you can buy some gadgets to take back to the palace.

"Starling, this Gege must be very favored at home." The tenth master said casually.

The fourth master nodded. Looking at Mao's appearance, I am afraid that Mao is afraid of melting in his mouth at home, and he is afraid of flying in the palm of his hand.

"Eighth brother spoils her very much?" The fourth master also rarely gossiped.

"If you don't pet her, can you only take her to Chengde alone!" Ten Masters said.

The fourth master was noncommittal. Bringing it out doesn't have to be favored. However, since he promised Mao's carriage, whether he was favored or not, he would deliver this letter.

After Mao Cheng transported away the fourth and tenth masters, he couldn't sit still, and after talking to his colleagues, he went to the academy to find Mao Mingxuan.

"Amma? But what's the matter? Mao Mingxuan looked at Mao Carrier in surprise, from childhood to adulthood, Mao Carrier never bothered him when he was studying.

"Come home with me, something's wrong!" Mao carried the anxious road.

"Something happened at home?" Mao Mingxuan suddenly became anxious and said, "I'll go and ask the master for leave." ”

"Let's go, I've got you covered." Mao Carrier Road.

Mao Mingxuan became more and more anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Amma, what is going on?" ”

"Good thing! Meddlesome! Mao Chengyun smiled, "Let's go back and say, let your mother be happy!" ”

Mao Mingxuan saw that the smile on his face was about to overflow, and he knew that it was true. didn't ask at the moment, and hurriedly followed him back to the house.

Chen watched the father and son come back with a meal, and said busily: "Why don't you say a word when you come back to eat, I haven't prepared it." ”

"Oops, it's not for eating!" Mao said: "Quick, quick, Mingxuan, you come to write, I'll tell you Eniang." ”

"Write what?" Mao Mingxuan was confused.

Chen also looked at Mao Cheng blankly.

The latter suddenly slapped his head and said: "Look at me, I'm all happy and confused, I haven't talked to you in detail!" ”

At the moment, he said what happened last night and today's fourth and tenth masters thanked him and promised to bring a letter to Mao Tongtong.

"Really? Can you really write a letter to Tongtong? Chen was also surprised, and he couldn't believe it.

"Of course! The two elder brothers agreed in front of me, can there be any fake? Mao Chengyun said happily: "The tenth master also said that our family Tongtong is very liked by the eighth master, and now with the eighth master in Chengde!" ”

Chen hurriedly clasped his hands together and muttered, "Amitabha! ”

Mao Mingxuan's face also showed a smile. Unexpectedly, his words of comfort to his mother turned out to come true.

"Amma, Eniang, what do you want to say to your sister, I'll grind the ink first."

"Hey, good." Mao Cheng nodded again and again.

"What else can I say. We don't expect her to reply, just tell her that everything is fine at home, don't worry, let her take care of herself, don't let herself be wronged. Chen said: "By the way, I will redeem a few silver tickets tomorrow and stuff them in an envelope to send them together, so that her life will be better." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what I'm going to do. How much silver do we have in our house? Mao said.

"When I came back from my third brother, I left some silver with him. I was expecting him to have a chance to be sent to the palace. Now it seems that it is also difficult. We really don't have much money in our house. Leave the necessary expenses, about three thousand taels. Chen frowned. I knew that there was such an opportunity, and the two thousand taels left in the third brother's place should have been brought back.

"The third brother's should be left first, I believe he won't use it at will. I'll go to my colleague tomorrow to borrow it, and I'll make up 5,000 taels for Tongtong to send in. Mao said.

"But master, two thousand taels, we can't pay back others in a short time. And Xuan'er is about to fall in autumn, and it is also the time to spend money. "Chen is embarrassed.

"E-niang don't worry about me. I still have some silver taels, and I've got enough for the exam. Mao Mingxuan said: "It's better to give it all to my sister." We have a rare opportunity this time, and we don't know when we will have such an opportunity again in the future. ”

"It's not going to be in a short time, so I'll make it clear to them first. Borrow as much as you can. Mao said.

"Okay, that's it." Chen gritted his teeth and said. It's a big deal that these two years have passed.

After discussion, Mao Mingxuan began to write letters. He had a stomach of words in his heart that he wanted to say to Mao Tongtong, but when it came to writing, in the end, everything was fine at home, so that she didn't have to worry about it, take care of herself in the palace, these words.

"Xuan'er, didn't you tell Tongtong about your participation in the Autumn Festival?" Chan said.

Mao Mingxuan shook his head and said, "No." I told her, and it only made her worry. Wait for the day I am named on the gold list, and then find a way to tell her. ”

"It's fine." Chen nodded.

On the second day, Mao Chengyun went to borrow silver. He doesn't have many friends on weekdays, and Zhao Furong's father is one. I heard that it was to send silver to Mao Tongtong in the capital, so he agreed without saying a word. It's just that his family background is also average, and he made up 800 taels to give Mao Carrier.

Mao carried it together again, and finally scraped together two thousand taels.

Chen directly exchanged them for silver tickets and stuffed them into envelopes along with Mao Mingxuan's letter.

When Mao Chengyun handed over the letter to the fourth master, he was grateful again.

"Don't be so polite, Lord Garrison, this is a thank you gift we promised." The Tenth Master said on the side.

"Lord Garrison really loves his daughter." The fourth master said. The letter in his hand was thick. Thinking about his poor daughter in his previous life, the fourth master's good impression of Mao Chengyun has increased again.

"Xia Guan only has a son and a daughter, so it hurts a little harder. She has been sensible and filial since she was a child. When Mao Chengyun talked about Mao Tongtong, his eyes were bright, and his love was overflowing.

"Don't worry, this letter will be handed over to her personally." The fourth master promised. Yesterday, he guessed from Mao's words that there was something else in this letter. Now that I have pinched it, it seems that it is all paper, so it should be a silver ticket.
