Chapter 124: Reply
As if they were holding some treasure, the couple carefully opened Mao Tongtong's letter.
"That's a lot to write!" Mao Chengyun looked at the thick letter paper, and the smile on his face became even worse.
"Master, read it quickly." Chen urged. She didn't know many words, so she couldn't understand them.
Mao Chengyun took the belief and got up.
"Amma, Eniang, big brother, see the letter!
I was so surprised to hear from you, I thought I was dreaming! It's just that the silver ticket surprised me too much. Knowing that it is your heart, I will not say words of gratitude. I'll put it away and use it where it needs to be.
I now live in the backyard of my brother's eighth master. Lived in a courtyard with another Gege. There are also ten palace maids and eunuchs who are serving around them, and their lives are still very good, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they can go to the imperial garden to visit in their spare time. The eighth master was also good to me, and took me to Chengde to play for two months. It's another treat that doesn't get out of the ordinary.
So, don't worry about me. Especially Eniang, don't think I want to cry, I'll be distressed. ”
Hearing this, Mao Chengyun glanced at Chen.
"This girl!" Chen couldn't help but snort, a smile on his face.
"Our daughter still knows you very well." Mao Chengyun said with a smile.
"Read the letter quickly, and see what else is said!" Chan asked.
Mao Chengyun continued to read, "And big brother, don't put pressure on yourself just because I entered the palace." I won't let myself be wronged, I'll live a good life, you just have to follow your original plan. We'll always have a chance to meet in the future. ”
"Tongtong." Chen couldn't help but choke. This child's mind is more detailed than anyone else's, and he knows everyone in the family in his bones.
"Hey." Mao Chengyun also sighed and said, "We always treat Tongtong as a child, in fact, she understands it in her heart." ”
"Yes, let's worry about her, why doesn't she remember us." Chen said with red eyes.
"Amma, Eniang, eldest brother, after saying so much, I have one wish, that is, I hope you are all well, so that I can live at ease in the palace.
I miss you and love you. After reading the letter, Mao couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he carried a big man.
"Master, do we really have a chance to see Tongtong in the future?" Chen said with tears in his eyes.
"Yes, definitely." Mao nodded heavily, and said to Chen, which was also to give himself confidence.
There was another sound of footsteps outside the house, the door curtain was lifted, and Mao Mingxuan walked in.
Seeing that Mao Chengyun and Chen's expressions were wrong, he was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Amma, Eniang, what's wrong?" ”
"Your sister has a letter." Mao Chengyun laughed and raised the letter in his hand.
"Really?" Mao Mingxuan's eyes lit up suddenly.
"You and I just finished reading it." Mao delivered it to him.
Mao Mingxuan couldn't wait to take the letter, but found that there was a page folded at the end.
"This is written to you by Tongtong alone." Mao Carrier explained. There was a marking, he had just seen it.
For such a little secret between the brother and sister, Mao Chengyun and Chen will never ask about it.
The corners of Mao Mingxuan's mouth raised slightly, and he was not in a hurry to read the letter that Mao Tongtong wrote to him alone, but first read what Mao Tongtong wrote to the whole family.
Looking at it, his heart was also sour. The more sensible my sister is, the more he feels useless as an older brother.
My sister is so good, she should be a person who is held in the palm of her hand and spoiled and doesn't have to worry about anything. But now, he can't help his sister with anything.
"After reading Tongtong's letter, we can feel at ease." Mao Chengyun said: "Don't look sad, Tongtong won't be happy to see it." ”
"Yes! Tongtong's letter came in time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was a reunion with us. Mao Mingxuan also hurriedly smiled.
Seeing that both father and son were looking at him worriedly, Chen also smiled and said, "Okay, I'm fine." I'm happy. I'm happy to have news of her. ”
After accompanying Chen and Mao Chengyun to talk, Mao Mingxuan, who had dinner, returned to the house with the page of letter that Mao Tongtong wrote to him alone.
Seeing that Mao Tongtong said in the letter that the purse that he had quietly embroidered for him had been robbed by the eighth master, Mao Mingxuan couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and pinched a navy blue purse on his waist.
Since beating his sister to learn embroidery, every year on his birthday he will receive a purse embroidered by his sister herself. The one he wears now is still embroidered by Mao Tongtong in the capital last year and specially brought back.
Mao Tongtong also said in the letter that she would still embroider one for him every year in the future, and would not let the eighth master find out again. Wait until you have the opportunity to meet before giving it to him.
In the letter, Mao Tongtong also complained that the eighth master let her practice calligraphy, which was much stricter than he was back then.
Imagining Mao Tongtong's frowning face and looking reluctant but having to practice calligraphy, Mao Mingxuan couldn't help but laugh again.
It seems that this eighth elder brother is really fond of his sister.
As an elder brother who has already entered the court and started to run errands, he can probably imagine how busy the eighth master is.
Last year, the emperor was able to send the eighth elder brother to Yangzhou to run an errand alone, which shows that he is still valued. And there are more and more adult elder brothers of the emperor, and it is not easy for the eighth elder brother to earn a place.
At such a time, there is still leisure to stare at a small grid to practice calligraphy, and review it every day, there is only one explanation, that is, this little grid is really concerned.
No wonder he felt that his sister's words had grown, it turned out that it was because of the eighth elder brother's supervision. But now it seems that my sister doesn't seem to have a very clear understanding of the eighth brother's favor.
In the letter to Ama and Eniang, although my sister said that she was favored, I was afraid that she didn't think so in her heart.
Being favored without knowing it, and not knowing whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
Mao Mingxuan was still worried in his heart. My sister's temperament is simple, and she won't compete with others. There are so many women in the prince's backyard, being favored now does not mean that they will always be favored in the future. He still has to work hard to become strong and become his sister's support.
Thinking of the autumn festival that will come after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mao Mingxuan put away the letter in his hand, reopened the book on the bookcase, and studied it carefully.
Two days later, the palace also ushered in the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
A small Gege like Mao Tongtong is naturally not qualified to participate. But after all, it is a festival, and the dinner provided by Brother's dining room is also richer than usual.
When the bright moon was in the sky, Mao Tongtong thought that although he was alone, he couldn't live the festival well, so he asked Qingzhu to put dinner under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.
The moon, flowers, food, plus fruit wine, very emotional! She squinted her eyes and took a deep breath, the rich fragrance of osmanthus was intoxicating.
"If there were two more hairy crabs, it would be perfect!" Mao Tongtong couldn't help but sigh.
