Chapter 127: A Chance Encounter in the Garden
Qingzhu heard the sound and hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and hung up the bed net.
"Did Gege sleep well?"
"Well, that's comfortable. Drink a little wine before going to bed to help you sleep. Mao Tongtong stretched his waist and looked satisfied.
Her face is so good. The white is red, the blowing can be broken, and the tenderness is so tender that it can be pinched into the water, and all kinds of adjectives are not exaggerated.
Qingzhu helped her out of bed, and Qingmei came over and asked, "Which dress does Gege want to wear today?" ”
Mao Tongtong glanced at the sunshine outside, and said in a good mood: "Wear that peach-pink one." At my flower-like age, it's better to wear pink. ”
Qingzhu and Qingmei couldn't help but laugh. Seeing her so happy, thinking about the bad things last night, the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't squeak.
When Mao Tongtong was freshened up and dressed, breakfast was also delivered. It's her favorite soup-filled xiaolongbao and tofu brain.
The tofu brain in Brother's dining room is not long, but even if there is, most of them are salty. But Mao Tongtong is a southerner, and what he loves is sweetness. So every time, Wu Youcai specially went to the dining room and said that he could have a sweet taste for Mao Tongtong.
Sleeping comfortably, eating comfortably, Mao Tongtong looked at the soft sunshine outside, and then got up to go for a walk in the garden.
This will be the time when osmanthus and chrysanthemums are blooming just right. Even if you don't go to the royal garden, the small garden of the brother is also very good.
When he went out of the house, he saw that Wang's house on the other side was still quiet, and Mao Tongtong felt a little strange in his heart. Wang Shi is not a lazy person, she gets up earlier than her on weekdays, could it be that she will also go to the garden?
Thinking that the two of them were drinking together to admire the moon last night, Mao Tongtong asked, "After I went back to sleep last night, did Wang Gege still drink?" ”
"It didn't take long to go back." Qingzhu replied.
"Oh." Mao Tongtong didn't ask any more.
Out of the yard and went to the small garden of Ah Ge's office, Mao Tongtong found that today's small garden was quite lively, and there were already a few people enjoying the flowers in the garden.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has seen people from other elder brother's backyards since she entered the backyard of the eighth master.
The few people who were talking over there also noticed Mao Tongtong coming in, so they all looked at it together.
After taking a photo, it is natural to say hello, otherwise it will be impolite. Mao Tongtong walked over with Qingzhu and Qingmei, and smiled at a few people first. Before he could speak, he heard one of the women wearing an apricot yellow flag dress say with a smile: "This sister is new to the palace, doesn't she seem to have seen it?" ”
Several other people also looked at Mao Tongtong, obviously waiting for her to introduce herself.
"The master of my family is the eighth master. My surname is Mao. Mao Tongtong said with a smile.
"Oh, it turned out to be Mao Gege." The woman who had just spoken said smiled: "I am from the third master's family, and my surname is Tian." ”
"I'm from the fourth master's family, and my surname is Song." A woman in a turquoise flag dress said.
"I am also from the fourth master's family, and my surname is Li." A woman in a goose yellow flag costume said.
The last one was a woman wearing an autumn-colored flag suit, and she also smiled and said: "I am from the fifth master's family, and my surname is Guo." ”
Mao Tongtong met with a few people one by one, and everyone chatted casually.
Although I am not familiar with it, it is still okay to talk about such general topics as weather and clothing. Besides, everyone belongs to different elder brothers, and there is no jealousy, and the atmosphere is not bad. Mao Tongtong listened to them most of the time, and rarely spoke by herself. From their conversation, Mao Tongtong also learned that these people have been in the palace for several years.
Standing and talking, Li Gege of the fourth master's family proposed to go to the pavilion on the rockery to sit for a meeting. Naturally, everyone had no opinion, so they went together. A maid has already gone to get tea and snacks.
"This capital, you have to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival to get cool, it's really hot in summer, not as good as in Jiangnan." Li Gege in the backyard of the fourth master. She also happens to be from Jiangnan.
"You didn't go to Chengde this year?" Guo Gege of the fifth master's family asked, "I heard that Chengde is much cooler than the capital. ”
Li's face changed slightly, smiled, and said, "Who doesn't know that our family master favors Fujin, such a good thing, where will it be our turn to get these qualifications." ”
These words have a sour taste. Song Gege, who was also in the backyard of the fourth master on the side, glanced at her, and a sneer seemed to appear on the corner of his mouth. And Tian Gege, who was in the backyard of the third master, took a sip of the teacup and did not say a word.
"Speaking of which, your grandfather is the only pet of Fujin! I remember that you could still go out with the fourth master two years ago. Guo Gege said.
Li Gege's face became more and more unhappy. This Fujin and Gege are born on opposite sides. Guo Gege's words stabbed her in the heart! Before Fu Jin entered the palace, she was very favored by the fourth master. It's really hard to see each other these days.
"Why didn't Guo Gege go to Chengde this year? Isn't your grandfather still spoiling you! Li Gege shot back.
Guo Gege's face changed slightly, and then he smiled again: "Our grandfather has been injured since he was injured, and his temperament has become uncertain. Now that I don't like anyone, I don't want to go up and find myself uncomfortable! ”
"Speaking of which, it's still Sister Tian who is favored, and the third master can't forget to take you wherever he goes." Song Gege of the fourth master's family suddenly spoke.
Tian smiled slightly and said, "It's just incidental." "If she says more, she won't say anything.
Mao Tongtong has a good impression of Tian. Just listening to the confrontation between Li Gege and Guo Gege, her head hurts. Sure enough, there are many women, and this is not the same brother's backyard, and they can also be jealous of each other. She wanted to retract what she had just thought, and the atmosphere harmony was just an illusion.
"What about Mao Gege? Did you go to Chengde this year? There is also a Gege who entered the palace with you to serve the eighth master. Li Gege suddenly led the topic to Mao Tongtong.
It's really called lying down and getting shot, Mao Tongtong said speechlessly in his heart. Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at her, she had to smile and say, "There is still a Wang Gege." She was sick before going to Chengde, so I went alone. ”
That's a very skillful thing to say. In the end, it was the original Wang Gege, who was replaced by Mao Tongtong because of illness; is still the original two people, because Wang Gege is sick, so Mao Tongtong went alone; Or, Mao Tongtong, who was originally set, was just Wang Gege who happened to be sick, and she deliberately said this, which didn't seem so hateful.
"As soon as you enter the palace, you can be alone with your grandfather for two months, Mao Gege is lucky." Li Gege laughed.
Guo Gege also nodded enviously and said, "Yes, what a good opportunity." We can't even think of it. ”
Mao Tongtong's face was black, except for Xuetian Gege's smile, he really didn't know how to answer. Feelings: This is a few resentful women who have been snubbed!
I don't know how many such women there are in this deep palace. If you've never been favored, you'll probably be able to calm down. But people like Li Gege and Guo Gege, who used to be favored and are now left out in the cold, are psychologically afraid that they can't balance it.
